    !!!!! icon_eek.gif Can you imagine how crazy all of Bag-Man's moves will scale-up when champed & buffed??? icon_eek.gificon_eek.gificon_eek.gif

    All kidding aside, as someone slowly creeping towards a 144 Bag-man, I approve of this idea. Looking forward to some bag-on-bag action!

    The Kamala Khan cover makes me chuckle because all of the characters lying in a heap at the bottom have the power of flight.

    You'll note she's pulling a "Lucy," (as in, from Peanuts,) but yes, I noticed that too.

    If they really wanted to troll us, they'd make the last Hulk mission a 3v1 VS a level 2000 Bag-Man, or something like that. Make the mission take an hour and a half of stun and hit or you lose to the worst character in the game just from match DMG.

    Or not. I think I have mine up to 131 or something. So.... Getting there.

    Hmm, I almost wish we were just given a purple Howard cover because there haven't been any tokens for getting him.

    Bagman. Is bagman, nothing to say besides he's another one I probably won't roster because unless you can start champing anyone with a cover of the same level, he'll be roster space dust.
    I get one cover of him maybe every 6 months?

    Every time I think of rostering him, i remember his powers are bad and he isn't required for anything.

    These covers are adorable. Especially the Black Panther one!

    I'm requesting these be made permanent.

    Hmm. Do you not play PvP? I rostered him 11 days ago and already have 9 covers for him (had five when I rostered him, which I had obviously gotten in the previous two weeks). Maybe Bags RNG just smiled on me.

    This Bagman event is very coincidental for me because I recently fully covered my Bagman and then got an extra cover, but he wasn't champed. So, then I had the pressure to champ him and avoid selling the cover. Fortunately, I now have a good reason to champ him, because it would have felt like a waste of ISO.

    Here's my question to the community: who pairs well with Bagman???

    His Purple ability could create match 5's, but it does cost 13 or 18 AP!
    His Blue ability is temporary defense against special tiles, but it costs 9 to 17 AP!
    His Yellow ability can be useful with CD tiles that you want to stay (like Dr. Strange) or slow down your opponent's tiles, but it requires web tiles to work well.

    Most likely, people will just play him with their best 2 characters; I think I'll use Peggy and Rhulk.

    I once had ten of his covers in my queue. Unfortunately​, I didn't have the HP to roster him at the time, so I sold them. My two-cover Bagman sheds a tear when he thinks of them.

    I rarely get him from regular PvP, but he shows up in lightning rounds fairly often. Of course, I don't really play that much PvP, but I play lightning rounds like it's my job, so there's that.

    Mr. Fantastic is great because Bagman can extend the black power and counts as a FF member for the extra green AP on the yellow power. Starlord to keep the passive yellow on the board, same for Iceman with the blue. Medusa would be sweet too.

    THIS!

    More stuff like this please devs!

    We like to have fun, and to get more covers (even "sub-prime" ones) as a part of it.

    Thank you!

    I got an LT for the Clash of the Titans, was I supposed to get a Howard?

    I'm very surprised that there isn't a limited character coming out this year like last year. icon_cry.gif

    I'm thinking of cross-stitching one, because I'm a dork like that.

    I really like these covers. I'd love to have at least a couple of them (Panther and Gwenpool, at least) stick around.

    Loved that Howard cover, very meta using that one given the past several days.

    Are we supposed to play along? The Bag Man event is the AFD joke...

    I just want to thank the devs for adding fun things to the game. The covers change is:
    1. Free
    2. Fun
    3. Welcome for those who have been playing for years

    And it took effort from the devs. Which they didn't have to do.

    This makes me think the devs are really trying their best to make this game work. Errors happen. Bugs happen, and frustrate us - and the devs. But they are trying.

    Thanks!

    P.S. I for one would love more frequent variant covers. Maybe specific lines or anniversaries. Any excuse, really.

    And details for Bags to Riches are up. Looks like 800 will get you 8 Bagman covers (4 purple, 2 yellow, 2 blue - I thought it would be funny if they were all purple, but I'd guess others wouldn't have been amused). If competition is more fierce than usual, 800 might only get you 7 covers.

    I'm assuming that the announcement that "Today we are introducing 2-Star Versus Tournaments" is an April Fool's gag and that this is a one-off (perhaps to be repeated every AFD).
