Stunning All New Original Artwork

Every single card features brand-new, original artwork that now extends beyond the borders for a more immersive, modern aesthetic. From the heroes in your deck to the Masterminds in the city, the Marvel Universe has never looked more vibrant. Second Edition also features even more artwork! Each Hero’s 4 different cards now use 4 different art pieces, uniquely created for Legendary®. This is an upgrade from the First Edition, using the same art for all 4 cards. This set features an all-star roster of artists including: Andrea Adiletto, Don Aguillo, Tazio Bettin, Lip Wei Chang, Lorenzo Di Santo, Nahuel Lopez, André Meister, Johnny Morrow, Lorenza Pigliamosche, Simone Ragazzoni, Riccardo Robaldo, and Ryan Smallman.

There are now 550 playable cards in this set compared to 500. About 250 cards have been redeveloped to be more flavorful, fun, and balanced. Legendary®: Second Edition introduces Doctor Octopus as a new playable Mastermind and Sinister Syndicate as a new Villain Group. A Marvel fan favorite Spider-Man (Miles Morales), is now a playable Hero in the core set, taking Deadpool’s spot. You can still find Deadpool in the Legendary®: Deadpool set. 10 S.H.I.E.L.D. Officer Specialists are now mixed in with the normal Officers. Daring Sidekicks and Special Bystanders are now in this core set. There are 42 total Bystanders instead of the 30 in the 2013 Legendary®: A Marvel Deck Building Game Core Set.

Balancing the Meta and Increasing Difficulty

Core Set Masterminds are now double-sided with normal and extra-challenging sides. For those who find the standard villains too easy, Second Edition introduces Epic Masterminds. Core Set Masterminds are now significantly more challenging than the First Edition. These updated Masterminds have additional abilities to make each Mastermind more flavorful and dangerous than ever before. Additionally, the original 8 Schemes have been rebalanced to be more challenging along with an additional all-new 9th Scheme.

In Legendary®: Second Edition, 4-5 player games will now use a “Warmup Round” to reduce the likelihood of early Villain escapes. Additionally, there is now a “Starting HQ Mulligan” if at least 2 cards in the starting HQ cost 7 or more, then all players can agree to “mulligan” those HQ spaces. There are updated quantities of card stacks to use for each number of players, to give games with a larger number of players more time to win. For fans of Solo Mode, Second Edition no longer plays an extra card from the Villain Deck after each Master Strike. In solo, 2 Henchmen start the game already in the city. The solo mode Villain Deck now gives about 4 extra turns before running out.

Experience better-balanced gameplay with adjustments to iconic heroes. For example, Spider-Man along with the other cards in this set now feel more consistent and balanced with the rest of the cards in Legendary’s thirteen-year history while still adhering to their unique play styles.

The Master Guide

The rulebook has been revised to answer frequently asked questions. New Alternate Game Modes and Designer Notes are also arriving in Legendary®: Second Edition. Along with a refurbished Keyword Reference Guide to help players navigate over a decade of Legendary® content!
