Going to be an interesting year. Initial thoughts...
I like that the Royal Court are new characters and not alternate universe characters or zealots like Bishop Hell (II) was. That said Iām all full up on tributes/homages to the past with characters of the same name. I much prefer new talent continuing the cause of the past like Saber. I do get that this is an anniversary year/set though. I also like that their real names are in the book. Gives me hope theyāll move away from the names in the future.
Like Basilisk. Getting an End of Days vibe that he may not be around for long.
Love that the two tag teams have the same tag finishers. Iāve always wondered why solid tag teams didnāt have those.
Donāt see myself using the transformation feature on the Chameleon Creatures just because I donāt want to be digging through old sets looking for cards. But I like the concept. My concept will be that they morph throughout the match and the audience catches glimpses of characters from the past.
Like the upgrades to Tank and Climber. Flipping through the cards I saw Tank had dropped the Mortar. Was fearful for a moment that Climber might have done the same and was now just Climb but was glad that fear was unfounded.
Glad a lot of dead weight was cut. Iād done about all I could do with Fhanna. Eager to see Count Necros on his own.
I never bought Dark Menace as a hero manager so I had him approach The Dominion Way back in 2134 in a scene* eerily similar as to whatās in the 2136 handbook. At the end of 2135, Godsend tired of DM and banished him. Think heāll sit out a year this year.
Eager to see how Kralla does. Like the character a lot. May have Murtak play the love-sick angle that Tom put Tharkas in in the handbook. Glad heās still a full timer. Also liked the hint about the possible Gladiator coming in 2137.
Hero Epoch doesnāt do it for me but Iāll give it another year.
Didnāt mind Overtime returning to the Titans but thought his dialogue was written weird. Just didnāt read like he has before.
Only lost one champ, Sur, was relieved about that.
Looking forward to getting the ball really rolling on 2136.
Two commissioners. No charts. Wish there was.
Womenās tag team titles were mentioned. What year were they introduced?
