This is my question as well. And yes, he does look like a custom hero I saw on BGG a long time ago...

I have not seen him on any other cards...ever. 

What is going on in that picture? I can't quite tell.

He has some kind of blade that he is stabbing into Fixer's chest, Fixer really should consider having that magnet removed.

Last laugh on Mr Crimson, Fixer is presumably already dead! Was dead? Either way, he has the worst luck with getting stabbed with sharp objects. And Christopher said Setback was the unlucky one...

I have completed my DW versus GloomWeaver game, I am not quite sure how many rounds it was, but the environment deck had become empty the round before it ended, and this was with DW Fixer putting 1 card on the bottom of the deck, so that would probably be the 16 round when victory was achieved. Setback, Fixer, and Expat were all incapped at the end of it, with NightMist surviving at 8 Hit Points. I think it was somewhere between round 6-8 when the other heroes became incapped. Which was shortly after GloomWeaver's flip.

Around round 10 or 11, NightMist had revealed a Mist Form with Attunement, which practically sealed the fate GloomWeaver's self harming. NightMist waited for GloomWeaver to slowly murder himself, with Mr. Fixer putting tons of Zombies back on the bottom of the deck so once he got to the bottom, he would only constantly play zombies! With two Phosphorescent Chamers in play, GloomWeaver killed himself so quickly. Once he dropped into the teens however, NightMist popped out of Mist Form to send him to Oblivion.

Amulet played a huge part in keeping NightMist alive (while at the same time doubling GlooMWeaver's start of turn damage to himself), also a Mist-Fueled Recovery healing her for 12 HP.

 

Fun note! Didn't used Expat's base power once!

There is a custom guy on BGG called the Red Mask.  I'm pretty sure it's not him though. 

Looking at the logo on his uniform, I'm going with an assassin from the Crimson Order of Pac-Men.

They are sworn to kill ghosts by symbolically re-enacting their deaths.

I hoped you would catch the reference.

Also, who is the guy Argent Adept is fighting on ExPat's? He looks like some anti-Argent Adept. I haven't seen him before, that's for sure.

Wild Speculation:

The guy on Mr. Fixer's Incap Side is the head of RevoCorp.

Reasoning:

1. The only reason for a villain to wear a mask is to hide his identity and protect his stature in society.

2. Other wild speculation suggests that the Dark Watch is connected to RevoCorp in some way.

3. The head of a major corporation would have plenty of reason to hide his identity if he was also a Supervillain.

The Argent Adept: Virtuoso of the Void is most certainly fighting The Tarnished Troubador: Baladeer of the Bad.

Is it legitimate to use Amulet to make the opponent self-damage while you're in Mist Form?  I always assumed you couldn't...because Mist Form would keep you from taking any damage, you had nothing to redirect.

No you cannot redirect damage while in MistForm, which is something I didn't do.

Okay, I guess I didn't read your message carefully enough, it sounded like that had happened.

Daaaaaaaaang. Adam knocked those flipped sides OUT OF THE PARK. I want a digital version of DW Nightmist's incap side for my desktop background, now.

Hey, has anybody played a game with DW Mr. Fixer and the origional Unity? I feel like that would a fun little metagame where equipment gets destroyed left and right, although I feel like that's also the way to lose freinds...

Just play with Bunker and keep him in Upgrade Mode for as long as possible.

Better - have the Argent Adept in the game along with original Expatriette and Bunker.  In the ideal circumstance, Unity can play two cards with Swift Bot, Bunker two with Upgrade Mode, Expat can use Speed Loading and Load to get three out in one turn, and Argent can make players play at least three cards during his turn (perform Alacritous Subdominant and accompany Inventive Preparation), more if he has a chain running or a Silver Shadow in hand.

And then Dawn runs by and Auroras everything to oblivion.

That would suck.

Right, so play against Plague Rat and you'll be fine.

If Dawn plays Aurora, DW Fixer has no qualms about using Overdrive, provided he's first in the turn cycle.

Voss.  Always go against Voss for fun shenanigans, still a challenge, doesn't mess with your stuff, lots of stuff to shoot and takes long enough to kill to get your stuff set up.

 Man, Setback's flipped side is him holding a seemingly dead Expat and crying! Such great artwork and theme through these new cards! I can't wait to get them to the table!

With so many delays, GtG is trying a new shipping method. This time, they are shipping it with La Capitan. So that means it should get to you by yesterday, maybe last week, so keep an eye out.

But some cards will be under La Capitan, so you'll have to beat her up if you want a complete set. 


Just assume I'm always doing that.

Damn it, Ronway!

She'll also intentionally damage your packages as an excuse to keep them for herself.
