if everything goes smoothly, hopefully the set will be ready by the end of September

*fingers crossed*

here's another one I like, with a new mechanic.  I love how Osborn is so relaxed in the image, different from the flex-posing with clenched teeth

I haven't been about on here for a little while so I'm glad I haven't missed out on this project. The cards you've posted so far look fantastic.

breadmaster

thanks for the kind words!

here's another

What design are you using for the backs?

breadmaster

bios came up with the design.  it's supposed to be rocky like the onslaught border, and brick-y like the monumental one.  I'm not sure if he pulled it from somewhere, or designed it himself

BasiliskFang

he means the back of the card, will it be spider-man vs logan?

thats pretty sick and fresh. wow great work

breadmaster

ah yes, apologies for misreading your question garose

the original samples that chuu's friend printed for us had no backs, so chuu was kind enough to construct that as a temp.  it turned out so well on the samples, that it's the leading contender for the cards!

Hi All,

Just back from Columbus, great event and great seeing some old faces back in the game. Most of us old timers kinda realize the only way to keep the momentum of this game and its unique fanbase moving forward is we will have to a) look at revamping the mass of rules together coherently b) do our own card releases that address some of the imbalances in the game.

So yes, most of us are interested in an Ultimate Evil set. However, I am concerned about balance issues. The collective feeling after the Friday night event in Buffalo was that DCIII wasn't really balanced, it needed way more playtesting.

So I'm also concerned with Ultimate Evil. It's hard to be critical here, obviously a lot of work went into these current and future releases, thinking about cards, mechanics, selecting artwork, getting it printed. But if a set is broken it will get relegated to use in a "Friday Night" event, and won't enter the mainstream of the game. That is what most of us want, cards we can use in the core game, so we can keep the game moving forward.

For example: The Blink KO card should not be used to end a game. That has been a principle in OP from day one. I'd also suggest characters with an inherent are immune, since one-shotting Beyonder ain't cool, OR make it opponents choice. The Osborne Draw 3 card. You need to look at its average venture per card vs. a Draw 3 or a Draw 4 with a cost. Even after two-hands its way, way better.

So if we could get a set of test cards out in time for the OverPower Championship in October, this might be a good time to test a potential Ultimate Evil set with a good group of players. I can't speak for everyone, but I'm certainly up for that.
