I don't think they are stopping 4* and we recently heard that there will be a 3* Dr. Strange. So we might seeing them trying to release a 3* with every 4* to keep this more in balance. Just a guess.

Then, I would have announced on day one of championing that those LTs would be replaced with 4 star covers as new four stars were released. But, hey, why do things with foresight and planning when you can arbitrarily change things without warning at a later date after everyone is invested in the way things are. It’s much funner that way.

No? Damn.

No? Damn. Haha a part of me wouldn't be opposed to that, some 3* covers are just practically impossible to get without a LOT of luck. The development of my Cyk3 and Doc Ock are abysmal compared to someone like IM40 or GSBW for example. Hearing that Dr. Strange is supposed to be a 3* is def a surprise though, I would have expected 5* based on how iconic he is.

"David wrote: Moore"]Character Updates: With the upcoming Power Gem Season, we will be updating the powers to Star-Lord (Legendary Outlaw). We've given his powers some more utility while keeping his Countdown tile-based kit, helping him be a better teammate to his fellow Guardians (or anyone else you'd like to pair him with!)
