Sam Wilson Captain America

[Theandal]

February Season pass card:

Sam Wilson Captain America ( 2 / 3 )

• Game Start: Add Cap's Shield to a random location.
  
• Ongoing: You can move Cap's Shield.

Cap's Shield ( 1 / 1 )

• Ongoing: This can't be destroyed.
  
• Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap's location.

It seems shield bouncing between the two Captains is on the menu.
Sam Wilson on 2 and Steve Rogers on 3.
Then move the shield between them every turn and both will get +4 power by the end of turn 6.
Maybe you even add Hercules in there to try to get an extra shield move :)

Might be better in an Ongoing deck than a Move deck, since both cards are Ongoing and affected by Spectrum and Captain America. Building the entire deck around getting as many shield bounces as possible sounds like a fast way of getting your entire gameplan pulled out from under you with a single Red Guardian, or a Shang-Chi if you get too excited giving Sam extra power.

the game pass going to have a decent free tier finally? I mean, I don't mind the paid tier getting better rewards, but I prefer in games where the free and paid have rewards for both at every level, even if the free rewards are minor. Makes it feel better progressing and less actively punishing me for not paying rather than rewarding those who do pay.

I don't know what you mean. The season pass datamine looks pretty much the same as always?

That's what I was asking about. A lot of games have parallel ladders for free and paid. Free gets a lesser reward at every tier, paid gets a better reward PLUS the lesser one. IMO feels better for the player when they're getting something every tier. I was asking if it was going to be different this time ( though knowing the answer is "no" ).

Disappointed that Sam Wilson and Madame Web don't let you move one card and then the shield from Web's location. Thought I was being clever moving Sam and then the shield together!

Edit: Actually, you can't move the shield at all if you use Madame Web's move first. Bug, maybe?

A lot of new cards come with fresh, new bugs, too.

Fun fact: playing Moonstone in the same space as Power Stone will immediately make your match disappear. I don't mean "crash your game or disconnect you," I mean you and your opponent are both immediately kicked out of the match and can't reconnect. Very cool!

I'm pretty sure it's always been like that. For instance if you play Nightcrawler in MW lane, it triggers NC's move and MW's move. Basically you can only ever move one thing at a time from MW's lane.

Also a bug: I Red Guardian'd the Cap shield and my opponent was still able to move it.

Okay, that actually isn't a bug. The ability to move the shield is actually tied to Sam Wilson Captain America, not the shield itself. His Ongoing effect is "You can move Cap's Shield." The shield's actual effect is "This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location."

I don't know about you guys, but this seems very uninspired to me. Nothing new mostly ever comes out, all rehashed idea's

Does the shield work with USAgent, too, or just Cap?

Just Captain America and Sam Wilson.

Ah, ok, figured not but had a faint hope.

He's not Captain America.

It's a discussion about the card, and the card is literally called "Sam Wilson Captain America."

I can move the shield only to Sam Wilson, but not to Steve Rogers. Is this a bug?
