Welcome to a world of microscopic science and adventure…welcome to the Microverse! Ant-Man and Wasp are world-renowned adventurers – two of the original founding Avengers. Together, they have fought for justice in the Avengers’ greatest victories…and their most terrifying defeats. Far beyond other size-changing Heroes, Ant-Man and Wasp can actually shrink down to sub-atomic size, entering a strange “Microverse” of quarks and tachyons where the rules of physics can be bent… and even broken!
The Size-Changing keyword returns from Legendary®: Civil War and Legendary®: Champions and represents Heroes and Villains using superpowers to shrink, grow, or massively change their size. It’s also used by characters that can change the size of a weapon, technology, or energy.
- Some Hero cards say things like “Size-Changing: .” This means “You can recruit this card for 2 less if you played any cards this turn.”
- Likewise, some Villain cards say things like “Size-Changing: .” This means “You can fight this Villain for 2 less if you played any cards this turn.”
- Note: For a typical Size-Changing card, it doesn’t matter how many Heroes of that Hero Class you played – it only matters if you played any Heroes of that Hero Class or not.
- After you’ve recruited a card, Size-Changing doesn’t do anything else on that card.
Far beyond other Heroes that can stretch or grow, Ant-Man and Wasp can change their size to a whole new scale. They can shrink down smaller than an atom, to the quantum Microverse. Here, the very laws of physics can be broken and even reversed!
The Microscopic Size-Changing ability works like regular Size-Changing, but with a couple of twists.
- Some Heroes and Villains in this set say things like “Microscopic Size-Changing ”
- This means “You can recruit this card for 2 less for each card you played this turn, counting up to three cards.”
- So if you played one Hero this turn, this card costs 2 less. If you played two Heroes, it costs 4 less. If you played three or more Heroes, it costs 6 less.
- Playing a fourth card wouldn’t reduce this cost any further since there are only three icons listed in this particular Microscopic Size-Changing ability.
- The second twist is that Microscopic Size-Changing can actually reduce a card’s Recruit cost to zero or even a negative number! When you recruit a Microscopic Size-Changing Hero with a negative cost, you actually gain that many Recruit points!
- Some Villains also have Microscopic Size-Changing. It works the same way, letting you fight that Villain for 2 less for each card of the correct color you played this turn, counting up to the number of icons shown in the Microscopic Size-Changing ability.
- Likewise, if you fight a Villain with Microscopic Size-Changing and reduce its value to a negative number, you actually gain that many points when you fight it. You don’t even need to have any points before you fight them.
- For example, say you play five Heroes, then fight a Villain with 3 and “Microscopic Size-Changing.” The Villain’s decreases to -5, and you actually gain 5when you fight them! (The 5th Hero you played didn’t reduce the , since the Microscopic Size-Changing ability only had 4 icons.)
Building the right deck and shrinking down to the crazy backwards physics of the Microverse can create some very powerful turns!
