Speculation time after the release of the next 5* after 5ruce 5anner:

Do they

(a) increase the count of 5*s in the Latest LT to 4 (thus lowering the odds to 2.5% per 5*)
(b) increase the odds of getting a 5* within the Latest LT, but keep it evenly split between them at 3.8% - like the way the classic worked after odds went up to 15%.
(c) move both 5cap and 5IM to classic LTs.

I bring this up since both 5cap and 5IM were introduced simultaneously, which has no precedent thus far and retiring from latest to classic happens in release order.

    (besides the bit where it's already been pointed out that Rocket & Groot already do this) Let's be real. If it's a 5* collective, it's going to be "The Avengers" and will be Hulk, Iron Man, Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Captain America as one character. Because another variant of those guys can't hurt.

    Reintroduction of the civil war token but at a lower price. So instead of two types of legendary tokens, it will be 3 types.

    To be honest, having different types of legendary would be preferred. Not only are 5* hard to come by, but getting a duplicate cover that you already have 5 of the same colors has got to suck. Having different packs would minimize this.

    Yeah I haven't gotten 5 colors of the same character for a 5* so I don't know how much it sucks though.

    lol, I love how no one actually read the post.


    ...To answer your question... no clue. I doubt even D3 knows how they will handle it at this point.

    Maybe the next 5* will come in pairs and bump off both IM46 and Cap to classic

    All of those are great. The tier doesn't have enough caucasians or white-passing aliens.

    Maybe Robbie Reyes Ghost Rider to change things a bit.

    Really Squirrel Girl should have been a 5 star. Keep her green the same, but make it 5 1-turn fortified countdown tiles that deal 10K damage each....

    Yeah, 5* Squirrel Girl needs a OHKO where she talks to the opponent and convinces him to leave the battle. It'd be a chance to introduce the "empathy" special tile type!

    Maestro please. But I seriously doubt that since we just got that Hulk... Well maybe then some villain like Dr Doom or Onslaught

    Seeing as Black Widow missed the 4* tier and there is only 3 versions of Thor my guess would be either of those.

    Outside shout for Riri Williams Iron Man though.

    Or split the month between IM46 and Cap. First two weeks is one of 'em, second two weeks the other rotates back in, new 5* the next month, at which point it's Hulk, FNG, and Slightly Less FNG.

    Regardless of how they balance the packs, the next character needs to be Punisher 2099

    It should be Dr. Strange, to coincide with his movie whenever it comes out.
    Along with a Growth Industry or Totally Terrible Hulk type event to earn a cover.
    We can dream though...
