    Oh good. So if we at one point assigned a support which cannot ever be removed, it now slows us down. *slow clap*
    why can't you remove supports?
    You can't directly, but you can just shift it over to Sentry or someone like that and it won't matter.
    or to a 1 star you got from a standard and sell it

    Snappy dresser?
    Something that bites, like a dog? A dog that dresses, in a spacesuit, perhaps?
    It must be Cosmo.

    1* and 2* can't use supports. You have to put them on a 3* you don't use.

    "Tiles, that specifically state that only one of those tiles can exist, will no longer be created, if the existing tile is Locked"

    Excessive commas aside, does this mean that (for example) if I use Invisible Woman to lock 3-star Cage or Iron Fist's protect or strike tiles, they won't create another one?

    Yes. Like I said, sneaky Invisible Woman buff. 

    And CW Spider-Man buff too.

    I wondered if we were going to end up with a problem down the road of people pulling weird combos to get two of Gambit's repeater on the board. Guess they got out in front of that one.

    Wasn’t Dazzler a snappy dresser?

    I'm not so sure about this example as Cage/Fist have a slightly different mechanic. Scarlet Witch, on the other hand, should definitely be blocked from making more CDs.

    Yeah Cage and Fist make tiles if none exist. SW, Gambit, and Cho (among others, presumably) make their tile passively if no others exist. Also 3* Sam, I guess.

    Snappy dresser makes me think cable. All those utility belt pouches.... snap, snap, snappity, snap.

    4* Cable, Rob Liefeld edition. Think of all the snaps those pouches make as he opens and closes them for granola bars or whatever he keeps in there?
    Will that be the version without feet or with a contorted spine?

    If there is any justice in the world, it will be #PeakLiefeld

    Anybody got a serious idea who this "snappy dresser" will be? Only search results I've gotten are Justin Hammer (not very likely) and T'Challa (too many versions already).

    As it will probably be an Infinity War tie-in, I would prefer a new version of Scarlet With or Vision, but it'll almost certainly be another 5* Iron Man.

    I agree with wanting SW or Vision.  However, I'm expecting it to be a 4* Thanos.  Snappy dresser sounds like the kind of pun they would use for his PvP event, he's the most crucial character in the movie, and he has no 4* variant.

    Also the devs mentioned on discord they wanted to rerun the Clash of the Mad Titan DDQ variant for IW release but couldn't due to losing a week when the film release was bumped up a week.  I'm hoping we get a 4* Thanos and a re-run of CotMT.

    FWIW, I think it's Vision.  He was a pretty snappy dresser in the Edinburgh part of Infinity War.

    Nebula. She is a massive hole from the MCU.

    She sure is, but snappy dresser?  I'm not seeing the connection.  Vision I could see with the Edinburgh part and it crossed my mind, but it seems like a stretch.

    "Snappy Dresser"

    Typhoid Mary?
