This card that was missing in the prebuilt Spider Ham.

Take damage, then receive a Cartoon Counter, confused the villain ( + a minion ). Change in Alter-Ego, recover life points and another Token. So many actions for only three energy resourcies, what-else ?

Français La carte qui manquait au préconstruit de Spider Cochon.

Prendre un dégât, pour avoir un Jeton Cartoon, puis désorienté le méchant ( + un sbire ). Se retourner en Alter-Ego, récupérer des points de vie et un autre Jeton. Tant d'actions pour seulement trois ressources d'énergies, que demande de plus ?

A very important card for true solo Protection players; not quite as big a deal as as Under Surveillance in Justice, but close. Previously, the only non-character-specific ways to stay safe from the "what if Rhino draws an Advance?" problem when flipping down in Protection were a single confusion from Professor X and having the Black Widow ally in play. Ready for a Fight gives you three more safe flipdowns per deck cycle, which is enough to satisfy heroes who like to go alter ego frequently but not necessarily flip every single turn (e.g. Groot, She-Hulk).

The biggest beneficiary is of course Black Widow (hero this time), as she can loop these every turn with Safe House #29 - and greatly prefers being in hero form when encounter cards are drawn so she can trigger her other preparations. Once the loop is in play and you're flipping every turn, the experience is a bit like playing the Psylocke->Danger Room-> Professor X combo, except you're using other Protection cards to negate or blunt the villain's attack instead of confusing them. That may not sound amazing but hey, it can't be negated by Stalwart!

Now we just need a 3-of 'fixed' variant of Not my Responsibility in Aggression (maybe drop the ally clause?) and a non-trait-locked version of Tempus in Leadership...

Interesting 1-cost support for some heroes which rely on playing tech cards.

An auto-include for me in any Starlord deck, since even if no tech cards is drawn, each turn can be used to power an Element gun.

Crew Quarters is generally going to be better value, not requiring an exhaust to recover +2HP.

I think this card is decent in Iron Man who eventually has a large hp pool and a way to ready up, meaning you can often make use of a back to back recovery.

The mechanic of a card reacting to the Villain's stage number has not aged well since this card was introduced. The three X-Men themed campaign boxes, Mojo, and Agents of Shield box have introduced multiple villains who do not have a stage number (there were only 2 when this card was introduced).

The card is still good in its "Fail case" of only allowing you to draw one card after being played, but I don't think it's necessarily the "auto-include" that the prior reveiw mentioned.
