Limited Resources 864 - Marvel Superheroes Sunset Show
Summary
Marshall and Luis Scott Vargas review the Marvel Super Heroes set, noting that Heroes significantly outperformed Villains and that Blue-White was the dominant archetype. They critique the recent trend of smaller sets, arguing that full-sized releases like this one offer better depth and replayability than recent small IP sets. The hosts highlight overperformers like Murdoch’s Crusade and discuss why certain build-arounds, such as the Planes, failed to gain traction.
