This card is superb, there are just TONS of great targets for it. Early game you can get a support like Helicarrier, Avengers Mansion, or Quincarrier on the table at a discount, which will really accelerate setup for a LOT of different heroes. It also removes some of the tempo cost of playing temporary resource generators like Enhanced Physique.

The basic set also has some great staple allies that you will play in the mid to late game, as well, like Mockingbird, and Nick Fury, or in the Wasp preCon you have Ironheart and Spider-Man.

In the late game this card is still useful as an unconditional wild resource which is always handy for discarding Villain attachments.

Don't sleep on this card, it will improve a LOT of decks.

I agree with many of the comments here. This is a fantastic card, and has soooo many practical applications within Basic. (Nick Fury and Avengers Mansion, just to name a few . . .) Don't overlook this one, and I'm glad Basic got some love!!!

Can't be surprised that this card is considered taboo. Basic has become arguably the strongest and most core aspect. It no longer provides a few choice pieces to kits, now it consistently provides multiple primary pieces for tons and tons of builds. Throw in several of the strongest allies, and it's often hard to justify putting more color cards in than colorless.

Apparently, this card can pay for C.I.T.T,'s ability, and likely any other abilty printed on a basic card that requires paying 2 resources of any kind, which means this card's value will only increase as we get more of those. Aside from that weird interaction that I never thought was allowed in the rules, this card is amazing for decks that like stacking 2-3 cost basic cards. But don't get caught on it, most decks prefer having 2 extra cards of something else, and going over 40 cards is almost never recomended. IMO, use it with decks that have tons of basic allies and upgrades and supports, but skip it if you think that you could use those 2 copies of Into the Fray or something.
