So with Masters of Evil, it just says to go through the discard and encounter deck to pick a minion. How do you decide? Like, the first one you find? And which deck should you do first? It feels very wishy washy.

I assume you mean the "If no attacks were made.." part of Masters of Mayhem, which works as the above response says. You can look at all the cards in both the discard pile and the encounter deck and pick whichever Master of Evil minion that you want.

If it was first one you find it would use text like is on The Masters of Evil card: "Discard cards from the encounter deck until a Masters of Evil minion is discarded. Put that minion into play...". For the discard pile it would probably say something along the lines of "Put the topmost Masters of Evil minion in the discard pile into play."

Yeah, I am used to fairly exact language, which is why this threw me off:)

So I exhausted my hero to defend against an attack. You appear to only ready at the end of a player turn. So does my hero enter the next round exhausted? Can he change form? Is the idea that you choose not to defend in order not to exhaust yourself, so you can do stuff in your upcoming turn?

Let’s take Iron Man for example.

He has his arc reactor as gear. As Iron Man, he makes his attack and then exhausts in Iron Man form. He then triggers the Arc Reactor and readies, makes another basic attack, exhausts, then switches his identity to Tony Stark as a last action.

When the player cleanup phase begins, Tony readies himself as not-exhausted.

If Tony’s player is one of the first players in turn order, he or she will have an exhausted Tony until all players have done their turns, and then trigger the player cleanup phase.

However, even though Tony himself is exhausted, this doesn’t mean that the player could not play an interrupt on someone else’s turn, or trigger a card action if requested by another player (see page 13, “Player Turn”.)

As for your other question, Iron Man has a hand size of one. At the *end of the all players’ turns*, (commonly called “cleanup” as I used earlier), you may discard any number of cards, then redraw to hand size. For Iron Man, this means potentially discarding one card and then getting a new one. For Tony Stark, this means discarding up to six and then drawing enough to make six.

So keep in mind that if you were Tony with six cards, and during your turn you flipped to Iron Man, did your actions and burned two cards (having four remaining in your hand at the end of your turn), at the end of all players’ turns, you’d discard either three or four, and start the next round with just one in your hand.

With almost all characters, but especially Iron Man, it’s important to burn most of your cards during a round, only keeping cards that will be important for subsequent rounds... especially those resource cards which can superpower an upcoming card!

Hope this helps!
