Daily Planet

We saw a sneaky, blurry peek of this card at the Alliance Distribution open house last September, but here it is as a clearer shot…

Basic Action ramp cards are always useful, especially in a set that is designed for drafting. It’s a little price-y as a 4 cost but it offers quite a bit of flexibility to suit your ramp & churn needs at any given time because you can Prep or roll to suit your needs in that given turn.

That could be hugely useful. You may be looking for some extra spending power in the turn you are in, you could be eager to set up a larger roll the next turn, or you could be managing your bag like a boss to use it for some quick churn and roll the just purchased character you want.

I’m certain its going to see play, even if it is just in a draft scenario, but I also believe there could be some fun shenanigans to be pulled with it.

Investigative Journalism

If drawing 2 dice isn’t enough for you then there’s always Investigative Journalism…

It’s obviously more expensive at the 5 cost, but for all the same reasons as above this can definitely see play, especially in draft. The ramp & churn potential of this card is pretty immense.

I suppose you could question the card from the perspective of needing to ramp to buy a ramp card, but getting 5 energy together early doors isn’t really as much as a challenge as it has been in the past. Especially with…

Harley Quinn – Bright Lights, Big City

Arguably the MOST eye-catching of the bunch, a 1 cost Mask card! WOW!

So the extra low purchase cost, particularly for that energy type, is clearly the headline. If you combo it up with the Clayface – Restless Global it really opens up some huge opportunity for some extra spending power in your first 3 turns. With well timed bag re-sets & Clayface global’ing you could have A LOT of Harley’s lined up to spend OR at minimum an army of them to throw at your opponent with awesome stats for the price.

Let’s take a moment to talk about the game-text too – or lack of! A Full Art character card for the first time in Dice Masters. That’s an exciting twist and I’m so pleased this extra collectible element is in a DC set. There is another, standard version of this card in the set, and the information we’ve been given indicates that this will be a chase foil card. (Although not fully confirmed).

This card will definitely see play, if only for the opportunities that a low cost Mask card presents.

Fun fact for comic fans – the card image is from a hard-to-find exclusive variant cover of the Dc Rebirth Harley Quinn issue 1 by Warren Louw.

Superman – Last Son

The title character of the set gets a card peek too in this batch of spoilers, and its certainly interesting.

First – loving the Team Superman affiliation getting a boost to the ranks. Its undoubtedly not the last character to be added to the affiliation’s roster so this is great to see and its my hope that Team Superman will get stronger in the Single Affiliation meta.

The game-text is a bit tricky – it certainly focuses very heavily on thematic synergy – but the Lois Lane synergy is interesting. Speaking of Lois…

---

Lois Lane – Army Brat

Superman’s better half – ready to motivate and power him up.

A low cost, Team Superman character (to help get your Superman out) that gives a stat bump to the big man? Yes please.

there’s not a great deal more to say about her, it’s interesting that she is a Fist energy.

But wait! you need two Team Superman characters to field your Superman. So what about…

---

Jimmy Olsen – Photographer

Superman’s best pal is another low cost Team Superman to help get the big guy out.

He’s not going to shake the world, and its odd that he (and Lois) don’t come with the Ally keyword, but he’s certainly useful for a theme-y team and a dude who is protected from Globals could well have his place.

Well, there you go folks – I cannot express how much of a DC fanboy I am and how excited this set has got me – but I will steady my patience because Wizkids tell me the new estimated release date is June.
