From time to time, I have looked with interest at some of the custom content made for this game. As is normal for custom content for games in general, it tends to be a bit worse than the content designed by the actual game designer. But I am finally going to print off one of these custom designs, because it was something I mentioned upthread here and the implementation looks interesting: Scorpio/Zodiac.

I used the randomizer for a quick set up last night and rolled up Dr. Strange Leadership and Spider-Man protection vs Rhino with Mess of Things and Galactic Artifacts. I played a cheesy Cosmo combo for Dr. Strange and tried out some new prot tech on the ever defending Spider-Man. It was a fun and ridiculous - By turn four I had Cosmo on the board with an honorary avengers, comm link, and Skycycle and inspired. It was super cheesy and the head cannon was great - Rhino and Scorpion were breaking into a mystical vault of strange and powerful macguffins and Dr. Strange was there to assist Spidey in cleaning up the mess.

Explosions rock the lab, as the ceiling starts to cave in, bright floodlights reveal an alien craft, swooping in to capture Electro and the gem of cosmic significance - Nebula! Spidey comes to and is being tended by none other that Gamora, who was in hot pursuit. After putting their wounded companion Hawkeye back on the quinjet and sending him to a med facility via auto pilot, Gamora(J) and Spider-Man(P) take off to confront Nebula. (Nebula, + Power Stone, Ship Command, Under Attack, and Power Drain mods) Their heroes were able to recapture the mystic knickknack early in the fight and never gave it back. It was a very quick tight battle.

Ms. Marvel Justice and Captain America Aggression vs. Red Skull + Galactic Artifacts + Under Attack
An early upgrade to let Ms. Marvel start off multi tasking for 8 threat...chef's kiss. This was a glide, until Sleeper pops up on the kill turn. Sleeper bought Red Skull a one turn respite but Cap had a hand full of hate to do 20 damage.
Next Issue : Ms. Marvel teams up with Captain Marvel (not a fanfic dream sequence : For Realsies) Vs. Taskmaster + Weapons Master +Brotherhood of Badoon modules.

It came out last year when the pandemic was first beginning to cause shipping chaos and the scenario winkingly references the FFG delays.
It's a cool scenario and worth the effort to make up. Be keen to hear how you get on with the custom content you've printed out.
I've also decided to skip GMW. It finally arrived in NZ a week or so ago. One place had it on sale and I almost snapped it up but then I realised that doing so would almost certainly feed into getting the full Guardians cycle. I'm not super interested in them so I passed it up. I might still end up grabbing GMW but for now I'm (mostly) content waiting to hear more about the Mad Titan box.

1. Locate the content.
2. Print it.
3. Cut up the card pictures.
4. Sleeve the card pictures.
5. Make decks.
Here are the challenges so far:
1. Moon Knight, Black Knight, and Daredevil already have nice print files, with 9 cards per page, but that's just for their special Hero cards. The Moon Knight and Black Knight content includes a recommended starter deck list. The Blade Deck looks finished, but is still in testing, so there wasn't a nice pdf to print. Instead, I laboriously took screenshots and cropped and re-sized them and then set them up to print nine per page. Getting the sizing right was a hassle that involved some trial and error sample printing. Print previews looked deceptively good.
2. After printing the custom villain modules recently, I ran out of color toner. After replacing the color toner, my black toner immediately ran out, creating an additional delay. Because I like to keep ready decks for every hero, I decided to located card scans for the rest of the starter decks for Moon Knight and Black Knight. For Blade and Daredevil, I will scan aspect and basic cards from the base set for my chosen aspects. I plan to do those scans tomorrow knight.
3. After I finish printing those card scans, I will have a significant stack of pages to cut up into nine cards per page. I don't have a paper cutter, so it's scissor work that will take a while.
4. I got cute and decided to order the custom sleeves made for this game, at least the blue and gold ones for the hero decks and the scenario decks/modules/obligations/nemesis cards. Unfortunately, they were sold out at the FFG Event Center, so I bought them on Amazon. I haven't received the gold ones yet, but the blue ones ended up being custom Captain Amercia sleeves with his shield logo on the back of each sleeve. I decided that was tolerable.
5. Make decks. All the printing hassles have left me with a slightly disorganized pile of printed pages. So I will need to make sure I've got the right aspect and basic cards matched up with the right hero decks.
Between the cost of toner and the custom sleeves, this custom content will cost me more than twice as much as the GMW boxed set. Hopefully it will be worth the trouble. The custom villain modules look great, and the Zodiac scenario is quite different from any of the published scenarios. The Moon Knight deck is pretty special, and both Blade and Black Knight decks seem distinctive from the other hero decks. The Daredevil deck looks too generic, but maybe it will reveal some personality in play.

The TTS mod has a staggering amount of custom content if you want to try it out without hassling with printing it physically

Maybe it will play well, but I feel uninspired by the Daredevil custom cards. It just seems like solid, bland deck that won't stand out from the crowd. And the alter ego picture for Matt Murdock is awful.
The new Nick Fury custom cards look really interesting. Good angles for deck design, but also has a very distinctive style as an untuned starter. However, I wish the designer had used the original Nick Fury for the art, or else used a different name for this obligation card:

I get it, I don't really like TTS in general. But still, as a way to help cut through the chaff and find things that seem worth printing out it seems useful
On another note: Venom seems really good. No notable weaknesses, and some of the best hero cards yet printed (Grasping Tendrils in particular is extremely good), and some great new cards too. Side Holster is such a huge boon to Rocket it's ridiculous. Just a fun hero all around.
Also, they announced War Machine.

You put ammo counters on him and use them to do various things. Looks fun. Some of his new Leadership stuff looks ridiculous, so that's fun.
