There’s already one model for him, but the new Doctor Strange is getting an upgrade in terms of power and looks- check it out!
We’ve been seeing previews for the new Dormammu set for a while now, but today we got some rules for the strangest doctor around! If they start posting the full cards and rules, you know it won’t be long till release as September looks like the earliest time for these to hit store shelves.
Strange has a decent change from his previous rules and expresses his status as Sorcerer Supreme. This comes from Atomic Mass Games and we love that they are starting to do more rules previews like this.
Let’s jump into the stats and new mini:
New Doctor Strange Coming Soon For Marvel Crisis Protocol
The new model is definitely an upgrade, plus the model isn’t the only thing getting a revamp, he’s also learned the Deadly Daggers of Daveroth from when the Shadowqueen used it against him. One of the coolest parts about that spell is you can choose the type of damage you’re doing – sorta like his old Defenders leadership ability.
Let’s hear what they have to say about the update:
On this journey to rediscover his magical abilities, Strange enhanced his arsenal of arcane skills with magic of alien origins and battled for the control of one of the Infinity Gems. This new vision of Doctor Strange as the Sorcerer Supreme sees him with a suite of new, powerful abilities. He’s traded in his Bolts of Bedevilment for the Baleful Bolts of Balthakk, which calls on Balthakk to conjure powerful electrical charge. This attack hits at Strength 5 and has the Pierce special rule, representing the electricity coursing through the defenses of Strange’s target.
New Cards
Let’s take a closer look at his new abilities:
His Scalpel of Strange ability demonstrates the (pardon the expression) surgical precision with which the doctor works with a team. With it, he can teleport himself or a friendly character nearby away, pulling them from the line of danger or setting them in position for a sudden strike.
When he becomes the Sorcerer Supreme, the Vishanti bestow their blessings on Doctor Strange. This comes in the form of Chosen of Vishanti, an innate power that gives him 2 additional power during the Power Phase.
Plus AMG previewed some of the new Team Tactics cards coming in the expansion as well:
