Annihilus, Lord of the Negative Zone, is bringing war to the cosmos. At the head of his vast armada, the Annihilation Wave, he brings only doom and destruction. It seems all is lost! Can anything resist such immense power? Surely, the forces of the universe must stand together to defeat this threat or face conquest and total annihilation!

The Fantastic Four return, just in time to save the galaxy from Annihilation! Now Annihilation reimagines the Fantastic Four’s friends and foes in a whole new way, facing galactic-level threats!

Let’s begin this preview for, Legendary®: Annihilation with some familiar keywords. So let’s take a look at our first returning keyword, Focus.

Focus

The popular “Focus” keyword lets you transform your Recruit Points into powerful, flexible effects. It has only ever appeared in the original Legendary®: Fantastic Four set back in 2013. Some Hero cards say things like “Focus 2  Draw a card.

• When you play a card with a Focus ability, you can pay the cost on the left side of the arrow to get the effect on the right side of the arrow. You can use that Focus ability as many times as you want for the rest of the turn.

The next keyword is Man and Woman Out of Time which we first saw in Legendary®: Captain America 75^th Anniversary expansion in 2016. It represented heroes returning from the past. Now the keyword represents the ability to return from the future. What better examples than the children of Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman, Franklin and Valeria Richards.  Franklin manifested reality-warping powers, moving through timelines and dimensions with ease. He is now known as the powerful Psi-Lord His sister Valeria had her life saved as a child by Dr. Doom, who guided her intellect. She has also returned through time as the teenage Brainstorm, combining Mr. Fantastic’s intelligence with Dr. Doom’s cunning.

Man and Woman Out of Time

• This keyword means “After you use this card’s abilities, set it aside. At the beginning of your next turn, play this card a second time and then discard it.”
• The card is discarded the second time you play it, so you can only play the card twice. You can’t use Man Out of Time again to play that card for a third turn.
• You “played” a Man Out of Time card on both the first turn you played it and the second turn when you replayed it, so it can help activate your Superpower Abilities on both turns.
• Some enemies send your cards Out of Time, setting them aside in the same way. When you play and discard that card at the start of your next turn, you can’t use Man Out of Time again.

Legendary®: Annihilation is now available on the Upper Deck Store.
