The Legacy Environment: For the players who want it all—every hero, every aspect card, and every broken combo from the entire history of the game.T
he Current Environment: A rotating format designed to keep things fresh by focusing only on the newest releases, generally the last 2 to 3 years worth of conent.
The Limited Environment: The ultimate "build-your-own" challenge where you choose from what you have or can get your hands on.
Most importantly, we are officially announcing that we are joining the LEDT season! We discuss our strategy for the league and how these restrictions are going to change our favorite hero builds as we head into a competitive season.

Show notes
In this episode of the Marvel Chumpions Podcast, we’re thawing out the man, the myth, the metal arm—Winter Soldier.
Is Bucky the ultimate "A-Tier" minion slayer who can manipulate the encounter deck like a pro, or does his reliance on those minions make him a liability when the board is clear? We’re breaking down his kit from the Cybernetic Arm to the Lethal Protector ability, and debating if he’s truly "S-Tier" in solo play or just another "B-Tier" hero riding the hype train.
