Yet more new cards were released today, these just being regular cards from packs. Starting with...
Thunder God Thor:
SSR
Base Attack: 2740
Base Defence: 2350
Ability: Significantly intensify ATK of all your cards.
Bruiser offence players have long been frustrated by having the least effective of the SSR boosting trio Thor/Professor X/Hellfire Ghost Rider. Initial reactions to the higher base Attack of Thunder God Thor was that their prayers were finally answered... then we took a closer look at the ability.
Unfortunately the new Thor was stuck with a boost to all instead of Bruisers, reducing what would have been a 16% boost to a mere 12%. The base 2740atk is good, but nothing to write home about. The net result is a card very comparable to the recent event reward Oathbound Silver Surfer. Not a bad card by any means, but it won't set the world on fire. Oh what could have been...
Master and Commander Red Skull:
SR
Base Attack: 2140
Base Defence: 1800
Ability: Remarkably degrade DEF of opponent's Bruiser cards.
I don't know that anybody was really clamouring for another Bruiser defence degrade but here it is. At a base attack of 2140 Red Skull is a small step down from common SR Speed wing cards like Blade. Also the Villain designation potentially costs you the Fury Blast special combo. He might see niche use if we continue to get more Villain cards at all rarity levels, but I don't think anybody will be rushing out to get Red Skull.
Protector of the Universe Captain Marvel:
Rare
Base Attack: 1650
Base Defence: 1390
Ability: Notably intensify ATK of your Tactics cards.
A replacement for Jigsaw in Rare-level Tactics offence. Not too much to say really, a decent enough Rare card to use until you move into SRares. Better than yet another in the recent flood of Tactics defence Rares/SRares.
