Max 2 restricted cards per player. Wonder if aspects will have restricted cards or, will heroes like Thor be able to share weapons. I looked through topics list and didn't see this thread. Curious on thoughts.

I would expect there to eventually be aspect and neutral cards with Restricted. I would be very surprised if Thor can mechanically share any of this signature cards, but I expect we’ll see Thursday.

It’s a common enough mechanic—just to limit characters from wielding too many uber-powerful weapons, really.

If we ever see the Infinity Stones in any form (or any powerful artifact/weapon/things) they’d probably be restricted. So Cap and Thor could each only wield one stone if they’re also using their signature weapon.

Alternatively the power of the weapon means nothing and it’s simply “you have two hands and this requires one.” So maybe there’ll be some characters who can only wield 1 Restricted item, or more than 2? (Can’t think of any 4-arms Marvel characters offhand but I feel like there has to be one or two?) ((Edit: now I want a condition encounter card that attaches to a player, reduces the amount of Restricted items they can use by one, artwork is Bucky or Thor losing their arm 😄 ))

Definitely want to see aaaaall of the mechanics explored further, and this is no exception.

Off the topic of restricted, back to the Thor passing the hammer—a “Worthy” upgrade that he could give others would be pretty dope 😂 I’d actually like to see him have an upgrade that gives him a “Worthy” Keyword similar to Aerial that increases damage for certain things. Can’t wait to see what they have in store for him!

Surely Spider-Man has had 6 arms a time or two

Sorry, I can’t say I’m familiar with the, uh... MILFs, was it?

Stryfe would be cool with the MLF minions. Forearm, Wildside, Tempo, Reignfire, etc...

Maybe Stryfe will be Cable's Nemesis if we ever get his Hero card. Baby Hope as his Obligation- super cool.

Forearm, Doppelganger, Spiral, Doc Ock (from tech), Miek, Sugar Man... Doc Ock is really the only one I expect.

Restricted might also work in Punisher deck with an arsenal of weapons at his disposal.

Shotgun does damage to all enemies on the board, grenades do damage to everyone as splash damage i.e. Arkham, grappling hook to sneak in and thwart with, etc...

Although restricted applies to deck building, not in play, right? I doubt they’d break the mold on 15 signature cards for something like that.

No, it just says “Max 2 restricted cards per player.” Same language as cards like Combat Training and Armored Vest, which you can have multiples of in your deck, just not in play on the same player’s hero.

I believe restricted will mean the playing field or they would have verbiage like resources cards "Max X Per Deck"

Yep, looked it up, just 2 max restricted in play.

And Thor's pre-constructed deck has 2 restricted cards in it.
