Today’s preview is brought to you by co-founder of Super Awesome Games and co-designer of Vs System® 2PCG®, Danny Mandel.
The four new teams in Vs System® 2PCG®: Monsters Unleashed! are the Champions, Inhumans, Leviathons, and the Monsters Unleashed themselves. But what if I told you there’s a fifth team?
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are our first two characters with two team affiliations. Moon Girl has both the Inhuman affiliation and the Moon Girl/Devil Dinosaur affiliation. Devil Dinosaur has both the Monsters Unleashed and Moon Girl/Devil Dinosaur affiliation.
Note: Both of their respective teams are Good, but if a hypothetical future character had one Good and one Evil team, it would count as both Good and Evil.
The Moon Girl/Devil Dinosaur team is our smallest yet with only two characters and no plot twists, equipment, or locations (yet), so you might be wondering why we gave them their own team. The answer is we wanted them to be able to team attack. But why is it so important that a couple of supporting characters be able to team attack, especially considering their shared super power involves one of them appearing and the other one getting shuffled away?
Here’s why:
Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur are also our first two Main Characters that start in play together! Here’s how that works:
- You don’t lose the game until both of them are KO’d.
- If an effect does something or needs to know something about “your main character” and you have two main characters, the controller of the effect will choose which one it applies to.
Here are some examples:
If an effect does something to “your main character” but you have two main characters, the controller of the effect chooses which one it affects.
- Example 1: A plot twist reads “Put two +1/+1 counters on your main character.” – You would choose whether to put them on Moon Girl or Devil Dinosaur when that effect resolves.
- Example 2: A character appears with the keyword power that reads “Your main character has .” – When this power takes effect, you would choose either Moon Girl or Devil Dinosaur to gain .
If an effect needs information about your main character, you’ll choose which main character when the effect resolves.
- Example 3: A plot twist reads “Draw cards equal to your main character’s ATK.” — You’ll choose whether to use Moon Girl or Devil Dinosaur’s ATK upon resolution
- Example 4: A plot twist reads “If your main character is ready draw two cards.” – You’ll choose whether to check whether Moon Girl or Devil Dinosaur is ready.
We hope you enjoyed today’s preview of Vs System® 2PCG®: Monsters Unleashed! secret 5th team.
