Vs System® 2PCG® Legacy Card Previews: Super Awesome Onslaught

Today’s preview is brought to you by co-founder of Super Awesome Games and co-designer of Vs System® 2PCG®, Danny Mandel. For more information on Super Awesome Games check out their website.


In Marvel comics, Onslaught was created from the joint consciousness of Professor X and Magneto, two of the most powerful mutants of all time.

In Vs System® 2PCG®: Legacy he’s not nearly as choosy:

Onslaught’s power triggers when you “recruit” him, which means you’ve paid his recruit cost and announced that you’re recruiting him, but he hasn’t appeared yet. This means that any “appears” powers he’s taken from the characters he’s removed from the game will trigger when he does appear.
For example, let’s say the two characters he removes are:

2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-marvel-battles-xmen-card-preview-supporting-character-ice-man  2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-defenders-card-preview-supporting-character-ghost-rider

When Onslaught appears, he would trigger Freeze and Penance Stare. And then he’d be a 10/9 with 3 health and Vs-Ranged.

Or how about if he removed:

Now when he appears, he’ll trigger Inventive and then he’ll be an 8/9 with 3 health, Vs-FlightVs-Ranged and Ferocious.

Or maybe:

2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-aforce-card-preview-supporting-character-miss-america  2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-defenders-card-preview-supporting-character-punisher

13/7 with 4 health, ToughVs-FlightVs-Ranged, Lethal and Perfect Position.

Or how about something sillier:

2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-marvel-battles-guardians-galaxy-card-preview-supporting-character-groot  2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-marvel-battles-guardians-galaxy-card-preview-supporting-character-nova

He’d be at least a 13/13 with 3 health, Vs-Flight, and Nova Force Speed.

But let’s be honest. This is the dream

2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-marvel-battles-villains-card-preview-supporting-character-magneto  2016-upper-deck-vs-system-2pcg-marvel-battles-xmen-card-preview-supporting-character-professor-x

The Onslaught from the comics would be an 11/14 with 2 health, Vs-FlightVs-Ranged, Magnetic Suppression and Mind Control. ‘Nuff said. – DM
