Visions of the Future Developer Update
Visions of the Future Season
The distant future has arrived—its the year 2000! Viv Vision stands at the forefront, leading a bold new wave of synthezoids of every shape and kind. From sleek robotic dogs to a vengeful, time-leaping evolved machine lifeform, the era of tomorrow is here. The only question is… can you keep up?
Season Pass
Great news! The feedback has been heard and now the Super Premium is looking better for it. Sparky will be launching day one on Seasonal Series 5 Snap Pack instead of being restricted to Super Premium only. On Super Premium, you’ll get both Sparky and an exclusive variant for him. You can decide which direction to go if you're looking for a robotic canine pal. Welcome to the future!
Series 5 - Premium Pass
Viv and her entire family are Vision’s attempt to live a normal suburban life, did it work? On Snap she is a 3-Cost 2-Power card with the powerful and conditional effect of granting +1 Power to all cards in your hand, if you’re winning her location. If you’re not, she moves somewhere else. She seems like a mix of Nakia and Pedro Fantastic but might be great enough to be another generalistic genius that fits all kinds of decks that are looking for some buffs.
Series 5 - Super Premium Pass
I've only had Sparky for a day and a half but if something happened to him I would kill everyone here and them myself. Sparky is a 2-Cost 1-Power Activate card that gives you last moved card +3 Power and moves it back to its previous location. This particular good boy is probably the one to blame for Human Torch changes ahead of time but I can’t stay mad at him, just look at that little face.

Series 5
GET BETTER QUALITY?
Do you like Timeloops? Hope you do because if she is in it will be one. Moira X is a 1-Cost 2-Power card that when it gets destroyed, you’ll get another copy of your starting hand. She is a bit tricky but in a particular suited shell for her, she could become a 1-Cost Moon Girl. Victoria Hand enjoyers would love to play with Moira X, I’ll give her a try for sure.
He is finally here! Or was he here the entire time? Bastion joins as a 4-Cost 3-Power card with the On-Reveal of adding copies of your other card at his location to your hand, those copies will be set to 2-Cost and 3-Power. Is he the prophesied king of Cerebro 3? I’ll for sure try him out on every single Ongoing deck I can find.
The very first Human Torch, kinda ironic that he is an Android and not really a Human. Jim is flaming on as a 1-Cost 2-Power card that receives +1 Power on each of your turns for every single extra point energy you have on that turn. Bring your Fallen Ones, your Hope Summers and your Luna’s. Maybe he’ll work fine in conjunction with the next guy?
I have a Warlock, and his name is Adam. This particular Warlock is coming up as a 3-Cost 3-Power card with the interesting Activate effect of discounting a card in your hand by the amount of unspent energy on that turn. Bring my boy Sunspot and She Hulk and the deck builds itself. Maybe bring Jim too?
Ultron created Jocasta on a particularly lonely night, too bad for him she left and joined the Avengers. Jocasta is a 3-Cost 3-Power Activate card that when activated, activates all the other Activate cards at her location, without using their Activate. That was a lot of repetition. People are afraid of her and Invisible Woman First Steps but I’m terrified of her partnership with Bullseye.
Series 4
Best name ever! Awesome Andy is a real power house as a 2-Cost 1-Power card with the Activate of giving +2 power to a card on each of the other locations. He is like herbie but you’re always choosing the extra power option. We could use Andy to target those buff hogs like Sebastian Shaw and Scarlet Spider.
Half woman, half machine, all awesome. Omega Sentinel is a 4-Cost 3-Power with the Activate that afflicts your opponent’s strongest card with a whopping -7 Power. She is basically 10 Power for 4, which usually has a nasty side effect. I don’t think she’ll make it into Ajax decks but there could be a house for her somewhere. Maybe Jocasta will lend her a hand?
This guy is a powerscaller’s dream. Super-Adaptoid yoinks in as a 3-Cost 5-Power card with the On-Reveal effect of stealing the text of an enemy card that has Activate. Glad to finally see a reliable tech against Activate. If you’re sick and tired of any meta filled with Activate, Super-Adaptoid is here to rescue you.
Spoiler Alert! Deadpool’s Diner is coming up and Danger will be one of the rewards. She is a 4-Cost 6-Power with the brutal Activate of destroying an enemy card on her location with less Power than her. I sure am going to try using her with Namora for a mighty swing on the board. The issue is you can’t target her destruction though so keep that in mind.
Game Modes
Deadpool’s Diner is back! This time around it's going to be less frustrating and more player friendly, having asymmetrical snaps where each player decides how many cubes they are willing to bet on each game. Also, the tables have been shuffled around to make the experience smoother and the losses hurt less.
High Voltage is also coming up with a bunch of cosmetic rewards for grabs. Be ready for it from October 2nd-6th at server reset.

Conclusion
That’s all I got for you and I must say, I think this will be a great season! The Premium Pass change is an awesome step into the right direction for me. Deadpool’s Dinner return has been a dream of mine for a while now so I could say that I’m very excited for it to return so I can see the changes. Also, so many cards! I’m excited to play with them all, but my favorite would be Sparky. Which one are you excited about?
