+ Build-Your-Own-Set - All cards in your deck must be in the same set. In other words,
all cards in your deck must have been printed with the same three-letter
set code. The actual cards you put in your deck don’t need to share a
set code, however. For example, you can play a Flying Kick from a set
other than Marvel Origins if you are playing a Marvel Origins deck. For
this format, starter decks are not considered to be part of the base sets
but you can play a deck consisting entirely of cards from a given starter
or the Hellboy Essential Collection set.
+ Random Punks - No rares allowed.
+ Build-a-Legend - You must choose a character name and include at least 12
cards: with that exact name and/or that refer to a character card with
that name in their game text.
+ Build-a-Team - Choose a team affiliation. All character cards must have that
printed affiliation. All non-character cards must refer to the chosen
affiliation or be completely generic.
+ Clone Saga - Uniqueness is not checked when recruiting character cards.
+ Alter Ego - Players use one of the (8) oversize
Alter Ego cards.
+ Random Ego- Players are randomly given one of the (8) oversize
Alter Ego cards to
use each round.
+ Marvel Meets DC - 50% of your deck must be from a DC set and 50% from a
Marvel set.
+ Good VS Evil - Each player constructs (2) decks. (1) deck must be designated
as a 'Hero' deck and (1) as a 'Villain' deck. Prior to each match players
randomly determine which deck they use. Each match will always have
a Hero deck facing a Villain deck.
+ Common Enemy - 50% of your deck must be Heroic-team related and 50% of your
deck must be Villainous-team related.
