This November sees the newest release for WizKids‘ Dice Masters, Marvel Dice Masters: Deadpool. The set is focused on Deadpool’s world including the X-Men and Weapon X, but the set also includes some other familiar characters and the first appearance of the Inhumans team affiliation. I’ll be reviewing a card a day until the set’s release in a few weeks. But, beyond discussing the cards and how they fit into the Dice Masters game, I’ll also focus on the characters themselves and if the card reflects their comic history.

Next up is Free Chimichangas: Delicious, the common version of the card.

Art: Michael Del Mundo, Deadpool Kills Deadpool #2

Comic origin: So it’s commonly believed that Deadpool likes chimichangas, but he doesn’t, he just likes the word.

“This place makes the best chimichanga on the island. Don’t even like chimichangas all that much. I just love saying it. Chimichanga. Chimichanga. Chimichanga. Chimichanga.” – Deadpool, Cable & Deadpool #13

Live action version: There’s numerous references to chimichangas in the Deadpool film.

Card playability: It’s a pretty cheap card to get some defense and with the “Impulse” part of it this is a card that could find some uses in the game. Not sure I like this more than the +3A +3D for other cards, but it’s cool to start seeing these types of dice being added to the game.

Card vs. Comic: Not quite sure on the connection.

Final Thoughts: I really want to see the other versions of this die.

Next up is Flying Car: Buckle Up!, the common version of the card.

Art: Carlos Pacheco, Atlas #2

Comic origin: It’s a flying car from the series Agents of Atlas. Not sure there’s much more than that. The issue was about 3D-Man trying to figure out why he remembers working with the Agents of Atlas’ leader Jimmy Woo in the 1950s even though he wasn’t born yet. But, there’s a hint about the card’s point and it’s abilities which will be discussed below.

Live action version: Nope!

Card playability: It’s basically the Dice Masters version of Giant Growth from Magic. That would be helpful and with other die that allow you to copy another action die, we’re talking +6A +6D potentially. It’s actually a type of die we haven’t seen much in the game at all.

Card vs. Comic: The +3A and +3D I think is the connection. 3D-Man, get it!

Final Thoughts: Might we be getting an Agents of Atlas team?

Next up is Evil Deadpool: Bang! Bang! Bang!, the uncommon version of the card.

Art: Nick Bradshaw, Deadpool Vol. 2 #45

Comic origin: This character goes back to 2011 from Deadpool Vol. 2 #45 written by Daniel Way and art by Salvador Espin. What would happen if a collection of Deadpool’s frozen, severed body parts were to be thrown into a dumpster and then, once thawed, fuse together to form a new–and totally evil–Deadpool? Yup… This is one I’ve never read so that’s about what I got.

Live action version: This version of Deadpool hasn’t been in any films.

Card playability: The card is 4 BOLT and 3 total to field which is decent for the stats, but I’m not sure there’s anything that really makes it really jump out at me. The 2 damage is nice, but to a level 1 character it’s limiting. And, it’s only really useful if there’s a lot of Deadpool being played against. So in a draft, this is good, on a regular build, maybe not so much.

Card vs. Comic: I’m not getting the connection. Maybe the subtitle it fits?

Final Thoughts: Not really digging this one as a whole. As a draft card it could be nice, but beyond that I’m just not seeing it being useful enough.

Next up is Colossus: Former Juggernaut and Colossus: Rigid Morals, the common and uncommon version of the card.

Art: Tom Grummett, X-Men Forever #11

Comic origin: Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin, aka Colossus, was created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum and debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1 in 1975.

The character transforms himself into a metallic “organic steel” form and also is physically strong along with superhuman stamina and durability. For a time the character was the Avatar of Cyttorak aka the Juggernaut!

Born on a Soviet collective farm, he has  sister Illyana and older brother Mikhail.

The character has been a member of the X-Men, Excalibur, an Acolyte, and X-Force, died from the Legacy Virus and been resurrected.

Live action version: The character has appeared in numerous animated television shows and live action films. Daniel Cudmore played the character in 2003’s X2, 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand, and 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past. He also appears via CGI in 2016’s Deadpool. In that film Andre Tricoteux and T. J. Storm provided motion capture, Glenn Ennis provided initial face shapes, Greg LaSalle the final facial performance, and he was voiced by Stefan Kapičić.

Card playability: The cards are expensive to purchase and generally to field though a 1 cost to field and 5A 5D is pretty nice. The ability to deal 1 damage to everyone or 2 to all level 1 characters when fielded is an easy way to clear to board if needed. I myself shy away from cards that cost 6 or 7 like these two.

Card vs. Comic: The two cards don’t quite work for me as far as translating the character to card, but they do if you think about his being the Juggernaut. That’s a character that rolls through his enemies since “nothing can stop him” so in that sense dealing damage to everyone works really well.

Final Thoughts: This could be a pretty useful character, either version, but my play style doesn’t match the high cost.

Next up is Blind Al: Stay in the Deadhut, the common version of the card.

Art: Walter McDaniel, Deadpool #20

Comic origin: Created by writer Joe Kelly and artist Ed McGuinness Blind Al debuted in Deadpool #1 in 1997. Al was living with Deadpool in the “Deadhut,” his house in San Francisco. Though her origin has never really been revealed its been hinted she was involved with British Intelligence. Deadpool was hired to kill her, but what happened is unknown. Later he would capture her and the two would have a weird relationship where she was a prisoner, friend, housekeeper, Greek Chorus, and mother-like figure.

The character was originally intended to be the first Black Widow and responsible for Deadpool getting cancer.

Live action version: Actress Leslie Uggams portrays Blind Al in the 2016 feature film Deadpool.

Card playability: This card is highly playable allowing a way for you to ping your opponent. The card is similar to the super rare Batgirl in that you can deal 1 damage to the die and then you deal 1 damage to your opponent. With a 3 MASK to purchase and total cost of 1 to field and 2 defense on the first level, this is a perfect card to do that sort of damage, constantly pinging your opponent.

Card vs. Comic: Kind of? Deadpool would hurt anyone who tried to help Blind Al escape but not her, so in that sense it works in a way and fits the two character’s odd relationship and history.

Final Thoughts: This card is fairly cheap to purchase and cheap to field and if played right, it’ll be beyond irritating to opponents. Sounds like my type of card!

Next up is Angel Dust: Chicagoan, the common version of the card.

Art: Shawn Martinbrough, Morlocks #1

Comic origin: Created by writer Geoff Johns and artist Shawn Martinbrough in 2002, Angel Dust was a mutant who ran away to join the Chicago faction of the Morlocks. She later returned home to her parents after helping the Morlocks and to her surprise her parents accepted her even though she was a mutant.

She lost her powers after the events of the 2005 “Decimation” storyline.

Angel Dust has the power to increase her adrenaline which gives her superhuman strength for a short time period. Her strength can vary depending on those levels and along with her strength her speed, agility, and stamina, are enhanced.

Live action version: Gina Carano played the character in 2016’s Deadpool.

Card playability: It’s interesting the character is a Hydra/Villain affiliation, though I don’t know enough about the characters so there may be an easy explanation for that. With a 5 FIST to purchase and combined fielding costs of 5 the die is kind of expensive to purchase and field, so her use will be in teams that stick around for a while. The card is pretty playable though. Combine it with other cards that force your opponents to block and you have a character that can grow really large easily. Also add in Overcrush and you’ve got a character that can deal some heavy damage too.

Card vs. Comic: Yes. Yes. Yes. The variation in attack and defense values perfectly reflect the character’s varying strength.

Final Thoughts: This card could be fun to play with, especially with a team that’s built around controlling who blocks and getting Overcrush out there. In fact… I might need to put one together.

Next up is Agent X: Earth-2 Counterpart, the rare version of the card.

Art: Alvin Lee, Agent X #1

Comic origin: Created by writer Gail Simone and artist Alvin Lee in 2002, Agent X was spun out of Deadpool which at the time wasn’t selling well and got his own mini-series that lasted for 15 issues.

The character’s real name is Nijo (also known as Alex Hayden) who’s an assassin and mercenary who blamed Deadpool for his brother’s death. There’s a story that I can’t even wrap up that involves the character wanting to be the best mercenary there was and may or not actually being Deadpool. Nijo/Alex was eventually trained by Taskmaster.

His abilities include a regenerative healing factor, foreign chemical resistance, disease immunity, extended longevity, telepathic immunity, superhuman strength, superhuman stamina, superhuman agility, and superhuman reflexes.

Live action version: None

Card playability: This is an interesting one. Being able to draw a die is useful and there’s a lot of new ways to redirect or gain life. This can be great to get crucial dice and/or a way to get rid of Sidekick dice too. Also being able to field a 5A for 1 die is pretty solid, so you also get a decent attacker out of it all.

Card vs. Comic: I’m not sure there’s a big connection between the card’s ability and the character. Being able to get needed supplies fits a bit, but that’s about it.

Final Thoughts: This card could be pretty useful in a game and I can see it being added to a few decks. It’s not a fame changing card, since there’s so many ways to draw dice now, but it’ll be interesting to see how it fits in to the rest of the set which may change my final thougts on the card’s use.

First up is Agent Carter: Answered the Call, the rare version of the card.

Art: Renaud Mu, Agent Carter: SHIELD 50th Anniversary (2015) #1 Variant

Comic origin: Margaret “Peggy: Carter first appeared in 1966 in Tales of Suspense #77 Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. As a teenager, the character joins the French Resistance and becomes a fighter who serves alongside Captain America. The two fall in love, but an exploding shell gives her amnesia.

As a teenager, the character joins the French Resistance and becomes a fighter who serves alongside Captain America. The two fall in love, but an exploding shell gives her amnesia.

In the comics, she also was originally the older sister of Sharon Carter, but that was later retconned and she became Sharon’s aunt.

In other comic versions, she marries Captain America in “House of M” when he isn’t frozen and the Earth-65 version she is the long-lived director of S.H.I.E.L.D. filling the roll of Nick Fury… including an eye patch!

Live action version: Hayley Atwell portrayed the character in various films including Captain America: The First Avenger and her own show Marvel’s Agent Carter.

Card playability: This card is absolutely playable! A cheap 2 FIST to purchase with only a 1 total cost to field, the card and die is cheap, cheap, cheap! While the die is active, it increases the cost to field Sidekick dice by 1. This is a huge ability as popular meta teams like Bard rely on fielding Sidekicks, so anything to increase the cost to field them will slow things down. Her cheap cost too means it’s a die that will be purchased early and fielded quickly. But, there’s a drawback too. That increased cost applies to you too, so hopefully your own team won’t rely on Sidekicks too much. This is a card that’ll be sought after and absolutely played.

Card vs. Comic: I think the card’s text and even the stats are a good reflection of the character. While she’s good with guns, I always saw her more defensive than offensive, but as part of the French Resistance, she harried the enemy so being an irritant and increasing the cost of Sidekicks is a good way to reflect that.

Final Thoughts: This card is a MUST GET. I think it’ll shake up the meta a lot and you’ll see entire teams built around it.
