<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\u201cAll that I\u2019ve endured, and everything I\u2019ve done, it was all to preserve mutantkind.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Formerly the X-Men\u2019s greatest foe, Erik Lehnsherr\u2014better known as Magneto\u2014renounced his villainous ways and took up his friend Xavier\u2019s dream of peaceful coexistence between mutants and humans. Now, he fights alongside the X-Men as a hero in his own right, and with his incredible power over magnetism at his command, the agents of Apocalypse won\u2019t stand a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fantasy Flight Games is thrilled to announce the\u00a0Magneto Hero Pack<\/em>\u00a0for\u00a0Marvel Champions: The Card Game<\/em>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mighty mutant bends the battlefield to his will with this expansion pack, which introduces Magneto as a new playable hero alongside his fifteen signature cards. With a pre-built Leadership deck ready to play from the start, you\u2019ll be able to command your allies and the forces of magnetism in equal measure from the moment you open the box. With his ability to pull\u00a0Magnetic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0cards from his deck at will, Magneto is a mighty hero and a fitting addition to the X-Men\u2019s roster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This hero pack also includes a bonus modular encounter set featuring the notorious Hellfire Club!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Magneto<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 1A) was a powerful mutant back when he was the X-Men\u2019s foe, and he is still equally powerful as their friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Central to his playstyle is his Magnetic Pull ability, which allows you to discard cards from the top of your deck until you find a\u00a0Magnetic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0card and add it to your hand once per round. Every single one of Magneto\u2019s signature cards has the\u00a0Magnetic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0trait, which means you can use this ability to hunt for some of the best tools in his kit each round! And what impressive tools they are;\u00a0Magneto\u2019s Helmet<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 3) gives him steady and can grant him a discount on future\u00a0Magnetic<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0cards, while his\u00a0Armor<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 4) can take advantage of the extra cards you discarded with Magnetic Pull to grant him a boost to his stats for the round. By discarding so many cards from the top of his deck, you may be worried that Magneto will end up with extra encounter cards, but thankfully\u00a0Asteroid M<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 2) can help you get cards back. Combine that with\u00a0Erik Lehnsherr<\/a>\u00a0\u2019s (Magneto,\u00a0<\/em>1B) innate ability to shuffle 3 cards back into his deck, and you\u2019d be surprised how much mileage you can get out of a single deck cycle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As for his events, Magneto has a number of handy\u00a0Superpowers<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0with potent kicker effects, making him great for pulling off powerful combos.\u00a0Electromagnetic Blast<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 8) can remove some threat off a scheme, but if you manage to clear the scheme entirely, then you can also get rid of a pesky enemy attachment. Meanwhile,\u00a0Metal Shards<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 9) deals a solid 7 damage to an enemy, and if you manage to defeat that enemy with this attack, you can net yourself a tough status card. With so many powerful abilities at his fingertips, it\u2019s clear that Magneto will need to utilize his skills with\u00a0Deft Focus<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 23) to take control of the battlefield!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Magneto has a lot of power at his disposal, but his mutant abilities aren\u2019t the only things at his command. Coming out of the box with a pre-built Leadership deck, Magneto also brings the might of the X-Men to the battlefield! Call on iconic members of the team like\u00a0Phoenix<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto,<\/em>\u00a014) and\u00a0Cyclops<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 15) to trigger their powerful abilities when they enter play, then, once they inevitably leave play, utilize the upgrade\u00a0Won\u2019t Stay Down<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 16) to return them to your hand. If Cyclops and Phoenix aren\u2019t enough, call on\u00a0New Recruits<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 20) like\u00a0Anole<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 34) for some extra assistance. Your\u00a0X-Men<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0allies are here to support you, and if the situation turns dire, one of them could perform a\u00a0Noble Sacrifice<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 18) to prop you back up and help keep your hero in the fray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n As we mentioned earlier, the\u00a0Magneto Hero Pack<\/em>\u00a0also comes with a brand-new modular encounter set. This set features the notorious and secretive Hellfire Club. Arrogant and ruthless, the members of this secret organization think of themselves as untouchable, and that is reflected in their abilities. The tough-as-nails\u00a0Sebastian Shaw<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 38) can only be attacked once per phase, while the swift-striking\u00a0Selene<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 39) ignores the pitiful efforts of your allies. With an emphasis on boost cards and multiple obstacles to throw in your way, the Hellfire Club is sure to make their presence known in a scenario, whether you like it or not!<\/p>\n\n\n\n As with all other modular encounter sets, the Hellfire set can be added to any scenario for some added challenge. Can you defeat the\u00a0Inner Circle<\/a>\u00a0(Magneto<\/em>, 41) of this notorious club?<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n With his mastery of magnetism in his hands and the might of the X-Men at his side, Magneto is a powerful hero and a fantastic addition to any team. Look forward to battling the forces of Apocalypse with Magneto when the\u00a0Magneto Hero Pack<\/em>\u00a0arrives this November!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn.svc.asmodee.net\/production-asmodeeca\/uploads\/2024\/07\/MC49_announce_cardfan.png\")
