What’s the biggest thing that helped improve your game?

Playing the same hero with the same deck is such a great tip. I used to play for variety, so different heroes and decks each game. Then Colossus came out and I loved the puzzle his deck presented. He's a hard hero to pilot, but once I cracked his code, he really opened up for me. Now 20% of my games are Colossus with the same Justice deck. That practice really changed how I approach the game.

My #1 Tip would be to read everything twice, if not three times. Many cards are oddly confusing and it is easy to overlook what they do correctly.

Yeah Dale the casual gamer! The guy’s channel got me into this game. Talk about teaching you to play this game! I sure wish he would come back some day. YOUR channel has been such an education for me and the way I play. Descry too! Keep it up!!!

Thank you for the great video! My son and I are slowly making our way through Marvel Champions. Ronan has given us the greatest challenge so far. I do believe playing the same hero and deck is extremely important, but my son begs to differ because he loves trying new heroes and decks. The biggest help for me has been watching playthroughs, Dale the Casual Gamer was a huge help in learning the game. I also enjoy watching you and D20! Keep up the great work!

I’ve been playing the game for a few years now and watching your game plays against Expert scenarios with the “big scary” villains is what now led to Expert being my first choice, which has completely renewed the game for me and “leveled up” my know-how of the game.

I appreciate your dedication, man!

Fantastic advice! Playthroughs are definitely a must - it's kind of like an extension to looking at decklists on MCdb...discovering how cards can work together in the MCdb decklists are more easily illustrated when watching an actual game.
I'd also add to isolate an aspect too...and if you're not sticking to one set deck, then tweaking within the aspect works really well to raise the level of gameplay...you get to understand combos in those aspects but more importantly how to approach a game with that aspect/deck...playing and Aggression deck, say, is far different in how you approach a villain, than if you had a Protection deck...it's kind of a really simple and obvious statement, but for me, it really is a shift in mindset :p

Great tips! I think those will help most anyone take their deckbuilding and game play to the next level. My mind wouldn't let me play the same hero repeatedly with the same deck -- I would get bored and stop playing; however, my first step in getting better at the game was to play with just one aspect for each hero against a particular villain. In my case, I started with Justice, then Leadership, Aggression, and Protection. I used essentially the same cards in the aspect, tweaking them as I played each time. I also tracked everything in a spreadsheet -- for some reason I couldn't motivate myself to play unless I did so, which then gave me the feel of playing a tournament or league. After doing all of that, I started looking at decks on MarvelCDB and checked out decks from content creators, too. I only watch playthroughs once in a great while, but I always appreciate it when a content creator shows off their deck before they start playing. Thanks for the video!

Great video! I personally used to find playthroughs on youtube long and kinda boring, but I really like your playthroughs, so I might start watching more from now on.

[brandtsanderson]

Great video. I’d love to watch you do a series of videos for both Captain Marvel and Star Lord, two of my favorite heroes

[adamjc]

Nice shout out to Descry, hopefully he co es back to playing Marvel Champions. He was the OG playing on the hardest difficulties.

[painface]

Watching play through's is huge. I was intimidated by some villains due to the complexity but watching you romp Venom Goblin made it seems achievable to me. I am not a great player so it is fun to see.
The only tip I have is if you draw Shadows of the Past on turn 1, start over or redraw LOL

[mabos]

Really great tips thanks bro!
I started marathon of watching you, Nelson, d20 gameplay so I can understand better the villans

BTW can you please please please do a modular sets tier list?
You already did every other tier list that is the only one that is missing

[cnspartan]

My top 3 things that helped improve my game was
1.) playing with Brandt from step into the portal (he's local to me). This is because he keeps me honest about rules, sometimes they work in my favor sometimes not. (so my recommendation would be play with other people if you can, this can be either at a local store or by playing remotely, ). I understand that this is basically your number one but in my opinion this is a game and it's more fun to play it (for me) than it is to watch it.
2.) Getting "renewable" resources on the board instead of paying for things in your hand. This allows you to max out your turn. as a side note don't be afraid to ditch your hand. I see a lot of newer players holding on to cards.
3.) Don't be afraid to lose, even Descry gaming loses (My wife seems to have the biggest issue with this). He doesn't give up he asks how he can make this combo work, and because he's done that, he can even drag other players through to the finish line. LOL
Those would be the tips for newer/mid-tier players

[JJEMcManus]

For a new player I suggest paying attention to how you can fine tune the game’s near infinite difficulty scale. There is the well known Skirmish Mode and the lesser known Skirmish Royale and Skirmish Royale with Cheese variants. There are many other adjustment schemes and each has its place.
YT content creators are, by and large, pros at this game. A person just buying the Core Box can easily get the mistaken impression that MC should only be played true solo/expert. I know I had a good three months of frustration before I realized that almost everything can be adjusted to fit my learning style. Expert Ronan comes with time and experience and it’s a blast to get there.

[travisnaganuma]

I agree with repeatedly playing the same hero. Practice makes perfect

[VincenzoSolazzi]

Mmm...your suggestion are the base (plus knowing well rules and faq) to be a pro-card player in whatever game. Then we could consider to be a good deckbuilder (not all decks works the same) and having a good level of party/friends to play with helps a lot (sure for solo MC your first advice is enough). I was a Mtg pro player and won a lot tournament in other tcg (like the older lotr) and lcg (the best was the first edition of game of thrones). What I like of cooperative lcg like MC, Lotr and Arkham Horror is the non competitive interaction between players and the possibility to play in solo: fun, no stress and playing free whatever deck you like. Generally I like watching other players game for eventually new idea about interaction between cards/aspect and heroes. I'm literally an old player but I suppose that for a player that first approach a new game your would be good suggestion to improve playing skill, even if in a non competitive game like MC playing the same hero, the same deck vs the same villain continously would result boring: we have 53 heroes, 5 aspects, tons of cards and villains...let's have some fun!

Great video. But I will be taking none of that advice haha. I just say that because I like to lose. The fact that I don’t win every game is what keeps me coming back. I already handicap myself because I have all my heroes with one deck that I built and very rarely ever change it. So that makes it very difficult to be the tougher villains because I don’t build specifically for them but again I enjoy losing. it makes winning so much sweeter when I win after plenty of losses. But that’s just me. Again I loved the video.

[BaconJamMA]

Playing with other people. I primary play solo but when I've played with new groups I definitely played/read cards wrong.

[ZiggyZZ]

I’m pretty sure your just making those videos to show off your swoleness with those sleeveless shirts my guy!!

But I agree, I am constantly playing venom with the same deck! I love the confuse lock deck I built with him and just ran it through a speed run of Rise of Red Skull campaign and had a blast!
