āHi. We're the Guardians of the Galaxy. I think we can help.ā
Ā Ā Ā āStar-Lord,Ā Avengers Assemble, Vol. 2
Though he was born on Earth, Peter Quillās life has been spent among the stars, jumping from planet to planet. Now, under the mantle of Star-Lord, he protects our world from countless alien dangers while leading a team of superheroesāthe Guardians of the Galaxy!
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce theĀ Star-Lord Hero PackĀ forĀ Marvel Champions: The Card Game!
Star-Lord leads the Guardians of the Galaxy into battle against the villain in this expansion pack, which introduces Star-Lord as a brand-new playable hero, along with his fifteen signature cards. Fittingly, Star-Lord uses the Leadership aspect, and youāll find a full assortment of new Leadership cards, as well as plenty of cards that reward you for uniting the Guardians of the Galaxy. With the newĀ GuardianĀ synergies unlocked, and a new player card for every aspect that rewards you for using theĀ AerialĀ trait, you wonāt want to let theĀ Star-Lord Hero PackĀ fly past you.
Devil-May-Care
Across the Marvel universe, there are few heroes more daring than Star-Lord. Some would call it recklessness, but you canāt argue with resultsāand for Star-Lord, riding the line between bravery and insanity pays off more often than not.
It all starts in your alter ego form, when youāre setting up another big stunt asĀ Peter QuillĀ (Star-Lord, 1B). During setup, youāll get to search your deck for one of your Element Guns, ensuring that youāre not going into your next face-off without a weapon close at hand. More than that, however, Peter Quill lets you choose any card in your hand and swap it with the top card of your deck, pulling together the pieces to set up your next move once you switch into hero form.

Few heroes are more willing to take a chance on a risky plan thanĀ Star-LordĀ (Star-Lord, 1A). In fact, raising the stakes will often be critical to your success. If youāre running out of resources, or you want to push the limit on what you can accomplish in a single turn, you can take a facedown encounter card to significantly reduce the cost of your next card. Youāll pay the price for this devil-may-care attitude later, but for now, you can certainly enjoy a phenomenal hero turn!
If you want to push your turn even farther,Ā Daring EscapeĀ (Star-Lord, 3) lets you ready your hero and draw a card, in exchange for taking another facedown encounter card. Of course, as the cards pile up, Star-Lord has some ways to benefit from an ever-increasing stack of encounter cards.Ā Sliding ShotĀ (Star-Lord, 5) deals additional damage for each facedown encounter card in front of you, whileĀ Star-Lord's HelmetĀ (Star-Lord, 10) increases your hand size for each encounter card in front of you, making it even easier for you to line up your next blockbuster turn!
Ā
Star-Lord isnāt just a raucous risk-taker, however. Heās also the leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and fittingly, while heās in hero form, all of your allies gain theĀ GuardianĀ trait.Ā Leader of the GuardiansĀ (Star-Lord, 9) increases the THW of Star-Lord and every otherĀ GuardianĀ character you control, whileĀ KnowhereĀ (Star-Lord, 22) increases your ally limit and rewards you for playingĀ GuardianĀ allies. You may even decide you want your entire team to go out in aĀ Blaze of GloryĀ (Star-Lord, 15), dramatically boosting the THW and ATK of everyĀ GuardianĀ character, but forcing them each to take a damage at the end of the phase. Like so many of Star-Lordās cards, itās an invitation and a challengeāif you can win fast enough, you just might be able to escape the consequences of your actions.
Protecting Our Planet
The Guardians of the Galaxy arrive inĀ Marvel Champions: The Card GameĀ withĀ The Galaxyās Most Wanted, and with the upcoming release of theĀ Star-Lord Hero PackĀ in May, theyāre just getting started.
