What If Missing Affiliations Series – Black Order

I know with the Infinity Draft Packs that were just released, There will be Black Order cards in the set, and I believe we have be introduced to at least 5 members under that affiliation.

Continuing my What If project.  Last year I recreated some alt-art cards and most of the card abilities I have recycled existing cards from Golden cards.  I tried to adjust older cards that never really got to shine, and new card fit in thematically.  I have play tested the affiliations and I think the game play will be fun for you to print out these and play.  I also for each of the team packs, I have selected 5 Basic Action cards.  Most are reprints and some I have just renamed an existing ability to make it more thematic.

Since, Wizkids has release the Black Order members into the wild this week, I wanted present to you, My version of The Black Order custom Team pack.
(30 cards, 10 Characters and 5 Basic Action cards)

The Black Order is a group of ruthless aliens that serve Thanos. They help Thanos raze worlds from which they demand tribute. I did not include Gamora or Nebula but more included the real villians for the Black Order.

The Black Order is a fictional supervillain team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They were also known as the Children of Thanos.

I know with the Infinity Draft Packs due out in 2020, I know there will be Black Order cards in the set, and I believe we will be introduced to at least 5 members under that affiliation.

So, Who did you bring to the Team?

EBONY MAW

A member of the Black Order who has genius-level intellect and specializes in persuasion. He utilizes a teleportation device and force field generator.  New keyword Telekinesis, Shriek (Added 1 cost to her) there isn’t a bad Ebony maw card in my opinion.

MISTRESS DEATH

Death is an abstract entity, possessing nigh infinite power and knowledge. The character occasionally appears as a humanoid female so as to be able to be perceived by lesser beings and resides inside a pocket dimension known as the Realm of Death.

OUTRIDERS

The Outriders were a mindless species of aliens subservient to Thanos and the Black Order. The abilities I gave this character is how I always wanted to see a card with Swarm have.

THANOS

Thanos is a mutant member of the race of superhumans known as the Titanian Eternals.  Thanos is a super-genius in virtually all known fields of advanced science and has created technology far exceeding that which is found on contemporary Earth.  Cards are reprints and abilities that usually when he hits the field, it will spell trouble.

BASIC ACTIONS

With the Basic Actions, ramp was needed to get the high purchase cost characters.

I reprinted Candlekeep, and renamed it Plotting (This is one of my favorite art in the set).  Thrown Brick was renamed Thrown Gauntlet, and Villainous Pact.  With those options for Ramp, the damage can be done with Dimension Door, and Anger Issues reprints.

Post-Mortem:

A very powerful set of Villains and will be fun to be the bad guys running this affiliation.  Multiple Win-Cons,

Hopefully There is positive feedback to this set, and I can make up some more of these type of articles with proxy cards for people to print and play.

Get these printed and have some fun!

Thanks for reading…
