To get you started with "MARVEL Battle Lines," we consulted savvy players on their favorite cards and some tips!

Ryan Penagos AKA Agent M:

Check and complete all the daily missions. There's plenty of rewards and they'll all be helpful for building your collection.

As for his favorite card, Penagos recommends Doctor Strange, "high attack, HP and the shield are very clutch."

Danny Koo, Senior Producer at Marvel Games:

Make sure to have cards that have zero cost to quickly make lines. Keeping your opponent busy to disrupt your lines buy you time to play high cost cards.

As for his favorite card, that would be Ultron. According to Koo, "Ultron keeps generating Ultron Bots every time he is attacked to keep the boards busy with Battle Lines potential!"

Peter Rosas, Producer, Games at Marvel Games:

Try to make the best of the cards in hand. Although you can swap cards, doing so will allow your opponent to see what cards you received and in turn lower your hand's effectiveness.

Rosas' favorite card is Squirrel Girl because "when she hits the field, the opponent needs to deal with her as she can win the game in an instant, freeing up other potential Battle Lines."
