Squirrel Girl Kicks Butts, Eats Nuts in Dice Masters

Posted on by

The next Wizkids‘ Marvel Dice Masters set is Civil War and as with each release the set’s promotional card has been revealed, Squirrel Girls: Kick Butts, Eat Nuts.

The card is a cheap cost 3 character die that is equally cheap to field. The card allows you to put a token on it at the end of your turn, and when you use a Global Ability you can take a token off and put out a Squirrel token, a 1A, 1D character into the field zone.

An absolutely amazing card that’s a must get and I’m sure will become a regular in tournament (and hell most) play.

Marvel Dice Masters: Civil War releases this May.

Marvel Dice Masters: Marvel Knights OP

Posted on by

Wizkids‘ next organized play event for their popular Dice Masters game features characters from the darker side of Marvel Comics. Marvel Dice Masters: Marvel Knights OP allows players to participate at local events help by their local game store and where they can win cards for Black Widow, Daredevil, and the Punisher.

Check with your local store to see if they’re participating so you can try to win the below!

Marvel Dice Masters Marvel Knights OP Black WidowBlack Widow: Stinger

Black Widow is a popular character and card in the Dice Masters game, especially her Avengers vs X-Men “Tsarina” die and card.

Here, Black Widow is the participation card using the die from the Marvel Dice Masters: Amazing Spider-Man set. It’s an alternate art card featuring cover art from Black Widow (2014) #13.

The “Stinger” version of the card is the second best version currently of the character as a cheap 2 cost shield that also features Aftershock. Aftershock allows you to deal 1 damage to a target character die or player when Black Widow is KO’d. That opens up some cool options for players especially with so many using KO to trigger various affects in the games.

As a participation prize, this is a solid card with some cool artwork.

Marvel Dice Masters Marvel Knights OP DaredevilDaredevil: Marvel Knight

One of the two prize cards in the set, this one is pretty cool for the art, the text and the fact it creates a new affiliation in the game.

The first thing that stands out to me is that you’re able to use the die from both Marvel Dice Masters: Amazing Spider-Man and Marvel Dice Masters: Age of Ultron. Both sets feature Daredevil and the stats for the dice for each set is the same. The brown coloring for the card makes me believe that the Marvel Dice Masters: Amazing Spider-Man die is the one you’re supposed to be using.

The die also is one of two in this set with the affiliation “MK” for Marvel Knights, the other being the Punisher also in the set. There aren’t others so far with this affiliation, but expect it down the road, especially due to the popularity of Marvel’s Netflix shows.

The card to me feels like a Sidekick killer, where you’d get it out early and with its ability you’d be able to deal damage and possibly take none. The 3 purchase cost and cheap fielding cost makes it an interesting addition to a swarm team.

Marvel Dice Masters Marvel Knights OP The PunisherPunisher: Marvel Knight

The other prize for this organized play event is the return of the Punisher. We haven’t seen this character since the Marvel Dice Masters: Avengers vs X-Men set, the first to ever been released. So, for those who started playing after or don’t have access to that set, this card is a bit less useful unlike the above two which use dice from more recent sets.

This card has the “MK” affiliation like Daredevil above and with a cost of 6 to purchase, it’s a bit pricey. But, for that price you get some solid defensive/offensive abilities. The card allows you to deal damage to your opponent of an equal amount you take due to an opposing “when fielded” ability. That’s a solid ability especially with Green Goblin “Gobby” still being a popular card and die to use in tournaments.

So, the use of this one is pretty straight forward, plop him in the field and smile as your deterrent causes havoc.

Marvel Dice Masters: Civil War Expansion List

Posted on by

This May sees the release of Wizkids‘ newest Marvel Dice Masters set, Civil War. The set is focused on Team Cap and Team Iron Man and if the Starter Set is any indication expect to see some interesting cards focused on KOing cards through special abilities, gaining life, and embracing the Civil War comic storyline in the card abilities and names.

I took the checklist provided with the Starter Set, listed out the characters and their titles for each rarity. We don’t know what each card will do, but you might be able to make some guesses based on the names.

Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool in October

Posted on by

DeadpoolWe’ve gotten word that a new set for Dice Masters has been announced through store solicits. Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will be released in October by Wizkids.

Unlike the recently announced Doctor Strange Team Pack, this looks to be a full set. So expect a starter, gravity feed, playmat, team box, and collector’s box. All of which are standard releases for a set.

The solicit reads:

Dice Masters is a global hit from WizKids. It uses the same proprietary Dice Building Game platform designed by Mike Elliott and Eric M. Lang. Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will leave you rolling!

The merc with a mouth brings everything you love about him to Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool. It goes without saying that you’ll love seeing Deadpool, Lady Deadpool, Dogpool, and Evil Deadpool. Come to learn the ins and outs of the Weapon X project alongside Wolverine, X-23, the Stepford Cuckoos, and Mr. Sinister. If you’re looking for new stuff in Dice Masters you can’t miss this set – it will have the first appearance of Inhumans, new characters from the Spider-Verse, more characters from the pages of What If? like never before.

Each Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool Foil Pack contains two cards and two dice that players can add to their Dice Masters collections! Introducing more than 30 heroes and villains (and their dice!), Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool will be sure to spice up your Dice Masters collection!”

The release also sounds like a nice mix of old and new when it comes to cards and team affiliations. The set will include new Spider-Man characters after a set dedicated to just that world of comics a few months ago, as well as an “X” focus since it is Deadpool after all. The inclusion of popular characters such as Lady Deadpool, Dogpool mimics some previous releases for Wizkids’ other game Heroclix which saw a team dedicated just to Deadpool and his compatriots.

The inclusion of Inhumans makes sense and I’d expect to see a set down the road just focused on Marvel’s space based characters. While galactic characters such as Thanos, Star-Lord, Drax, Gamora, Groot, and Rocket Raccoon have been included in past sets, a set focused on them and alien races could potentially add a lot to the game in both variety and mechanics.

Marvel sets so far have included Avengers vs. X-Men, Uncanny X-Men, Age of Ultron, The Amazing Spider-Man, and next month will see the release of Civil War. It has also been announced that Civil War‘s super rares will be based on Marvel’s What If? line of comics, and Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool continues that theme of super rares, much like how DC sets are focused currently on Black Lanterns.

Wizkids’ Dice Masters Gets a Doctor Strange Team Pack

Posted on by

Doctor_Strange_1_CoverWizkids‘ Marvel Dice Masters has a newly announced expansion focusing on Doctor Strange, the Doctor Strange Team Pack. The expansion is set to be released just in time for the movie based on the character.

A team pack is kind of like a starter set and geared towards both new and old players. Just like the name denotes, the team pack provides everything you need to field a team and includes 24 cards and 16 dice. Combine it with a Starter Set and you’re good to go.

The new expansion will feature Doctor Strange, along with character cards/dice featuring such supporting characters such as Clea, Wong, and Dormammu.

The Doctor Strange Team Pack will be released this September and retail for $9.99 while the Doctor Strange movie is out this November.

Marvel Shows off Ultra Rares for Marvel Dice Masters: Civil War

Posted on by

Marvel Dice Masters: Civil War, the latest Dice Masters set, releases on May 4 and Marvel has shown off some of the Ultra Rare dice and cards that’ll come with the set.

Inspired by the What If? comic series, Marvel Dice Masters is pleased to announce the all-new Civil War set! For the first time ever, Dice Masters has incorporated the What If? comic series with a set of four super rare cards including Shannon Carter: Captain America of Earth 81223, Natalia Romanova: Black Widow and Thor of Earth 21223, Tony Stark: Sorcerer Supreme of Earth 9810 and Steve Rogers: Iron Man of Earth 10208. What If? comics explore the alternate versions of the regular Marvel Universe and these cards and dice help to capture the different takes on heroes — showing them as they’ve never before been seen in Dice Masters!

Shannon Carter of Earth 81223 lives in a world where Frank Castle becomes the new Captain America and after intense training and a dose of super soldier serum, she becomes a cornerstone of the Captain Americorps program! In Earth 23223, Black Widow faces desperate circumstances but is found worthy to wield Thor’s hammer — Mjolnir — and does so with great effect as the Goddess of Thunder! Tony Stark: Sorcerer Supreme of Earth 9810 would rise to defeat the dread Dormammu despite the betrayal of Doctor Strange and his powers are the best of sorcery and science together! Steve Rogers: Iron Man of Earth 10208 helps lead the heroes both for and against the Superhuman Registration Act to defeat the rampaging clone of Thor!
