Greeting HeroClix players!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There are two things we want to share with you today: Silver Age Watch List Updates and the 2022 Modern Age Rotation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Silver Age<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The following changes being made which are effective immediately are:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ban List<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • All Special Terrain Dials<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • WK MP-18 001 Blackbird resource dial<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • FF JW 004 The Penguin<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n

  • WF WFID-103 Green Lantern<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Watch List<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    ALL ID Cards\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Clarification<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    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.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    New General Rule<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can\u2019t have an ID Card on your force if is shares a name with another ID Card already on your force.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Example:<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can\u2019t 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.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Surtur, Carnage, and Mangog all implement the, \u201cIf he did,\u201d language that was placed on Colossal Retaliators in Modern Age erratas previously. This requires an attack to have been made in order for the \u201cafter resolutions\u201d effect to trigger.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
