Greeting HeroClix players! 

There are two things we want to share with you today: Silver Age Watch List Updates and the 2022 Modern Age Rotation. 

Silver Age 

The following changes being made which are effective immediately are: 

Ban List 

  • All Special Terrain Dials 
  • WK MP-18 001 Blackbird resource dial 
  • FF JW 004 The Penguin 
  • ADW 067 Hawkeye
  • EAX 019b Vulture 
  • XTAS 048 Jason Wyngarde 
  • AOU AUID-103 Captain America 
  • NFAOS NFID-009 U.S. Agent 
  • WF WFID-103 Green Lantern 

The listed game elements are being banned due to their effects and/or abilities causing prolonged turns, if not games. In some cases, their ability to combo with other game elements greatly exceeds their strength from when they were Modern legal. As a result, stifled team building and diversity. 

Our number one priority is creating a fun and balanced environment for this new format. Banned elements now could be removed in the future as the game shifts and new expansions are released. Every Watch List going forward will bring up a discussion if a banned element should be removed. 

Watch List 

ALL ID Cards 

Clarification 

We would like to clarify that ALL ID Cards, even those that were released prior to Marvel HeroClix: Superior Foes of Spider-Man are allowed in the Silver Age format, but all ID Cards will remain on the Watch List for the time being. 

New General Rule 

You can’t have an ID Card on your force if is shares a name with another ID Card already on your force. 

Example: 

You can’t have both WK MDOFP-001 Wolverine [Wanted Poster] and XXS XID-025 Wolverine [ID Card] on your force. You would have to play one or the other.  

Errata 

Before:  

Setup - At the beginning of the game, choose a character on your sideline with a name or real name matching this ID Card and turn it to a starting line. This character is called an ID Character. You can’t have more ID characters on your force than you have characters placed on the map at the beginning of the game. This card is Unique. 

After: 

Setup - When you reveal forces, choose a character on your Sideline whose name matches the name on this ID Card and turn it to a starting line. That character is called an ID Character. You can’t have more ID characters on your Sideline than characters on your starting force. UNIQUE. 

TMT G001 Surtur 

Before: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: WATCH THE WORLD BURN: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Surtur or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Surtur such that he can make a close combat attack targeting the chosen character, then do so. After resolutions, deal 1 penetrating damage to each opposing character within 2 squares. 

After: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: WATCH THE WORLD BURN: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Surtur or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Surtur such that he can make a close combat attack targeting the chosen character, then do so. If he did, after resolutions, deal 1 penetrating damage to each opposing character within 2 squares. 

TMT G004 Carnage 

Before: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: SYMBIOTE SPAWN: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Carnage or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Carnage such that he can make a close attack targeting the chosen character, then do so. After resolutions, you may generate a Symbiote bystander adjacent to the chosen character. 

After: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: SYMBIOTE SPAWN: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Carnage or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Carnage such that he can make a close attack targeting the chosen character, then do so. If he did, after resolutions, you may generate a Symbiote bystander adjacent to the chosen character. 

G006 Mangog 

Before: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: MULTI-POWERED TAIL: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Mangog or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Mangog such that he can make a close attack targeting the chosen character and all other opposing characters within 3 squares and line of fire, then do so. Hit characters are each dealt 4 damage instead of normal damage. After resolutions, make a close attack targeting each opposing character within 2 squares and line of fire. Hit characters are each dealt 3 damage instead of normal damage. 

After: 

COLOSSAL RETALIATION: MULTI-POWERED TAIL: FREE: If no other Colossal Retaliation power has been activated this turn, choose an opposing character that attacked Mangog or damaged a friendly character since your last turn. Place Mangog such that he can make a close attack targeting the chosen character and all other opposing characters within 3 squares and line of fire, then do so. Hit characters are each dealt 4 damage instead of normal damage. If he did, after resolutions, make a close attack targeting each opposing character within 2 squares and line of fire. Hit characters are each dealt 3 damage instead of normal damage. 

Surtur, Carnage, and Mangog all implement the, “If he did,” language that was placed on Colossal Retaliators in Modern Age erratas previously. This requires an attack to have been made in order for the “after resolutions” effect to trigger.
