Here’s what they have to say about the new pack:
Evil never dies in this new pack for Marvel: Crisis Protocol! Baron Wolfgang von Strucker may have been born into the ranks of the nobility, but he has spent his prolonged life in pursuit of the nefarious goals. As the founder of HYDRA, his villainy has taken root across the world. Meanwhile, Doctor Arnim Zola is a scientist who pursued the creation of super-soldiers for the purpose of world domination. Eventually transferring his consciousness into a synthetic body, he uses his genius intellect and scientific knowledge as weapons against all who would stop him.
AMG Drops New MCP Rules for Baron Strucker!
For generations, Strucker has been a leader of evil and is the founding father of Hydra. In-game he brings the new Hydra High Council leadership power for the Hydra affiliation. This leadership allows Hydra agents to turn the tables on their foes when they attack, letting them impose special conditions they are suffering on the target of their attacks before removing them from themselves. Even more, when members of the affiliation inflict a special condition on a target, they can remove 1 damage—perfect for when Strucker’s old ally Arnim Zola is on the field.
And Strucker’s enemies will have special conditions on them almost all the time, thanks to the Deathspore Virus in his blood. For 2 Power Strucker causes his infection to spread to every other character within Range 3, inflicting the Poison condition on them. Not only that, but the Deathspore virus is responsible for Strucker’s Healing Factor [1] innate power.
Giving the enemy special conditions and removing them from yourself is insanely strong! Then, with Strucker basically always being able to put conditions on the enemy, he will just be super annoying for your opponents to play against!
This might be why Strucker is such an arrogant man. His Arrogance can be both a benefit and a drawback, though. When he uses this reactive power during an attack, Strucker counts failures in his attack roll as successes—but so does his opponent for their defense!
This arrogance is often at odds with his otherwise brilliant strategic mind. His brilliance is reflected by the Strategic Genius innate power, which allows Strucker and allies within Range 2 to reroll one die in all their attack and defense rolls.
They did a great job with his cards as he’s both super arrogant and also somehow a genius. While they are both at odds with each other, they both make for a super fun character!
