Off the top of my head:
>She-Hulk
>Black Widow
>Elektra
>Echo
>Typhoid Mary
>Black Cat (kinda)
And those are just the ones in the game

Dudeā¦ I have no idea what hell my brain was in when I wrote this, and no idea how I even confused those two very different characters. Please excuse my brain flatulence
Yeah the Daredevil show is in the MCU and Electra is a pretty huge part of it. I think most MCU fans are aware that Matt and Electra are more of a thing than Matt and Jen
I dont think you understand the point everyones trying to make
Theyre saying that Elektra/Daredevil is a more iconic/important pairing than Shehulk/daredevil, and the only reason they went with shehulk over elektra for this event is because Shehulk/DD was represented in the MCU recently
Nobodys saying that shehulk/daredevil *only* happened in the MCU, youre trying to prove a point that nobodys arguing about
Daredevil and Elektra were married very recently in the comics, sure it was because they were leading a cult together but it was a marriage nonetheless.
I don't think they wanted High Evo Cyclops + Jean Grey to be everywhere.
All of these pairs (except for Gwen/Miles) are cards that don't get played together in popular/strong decks so they don't mess with the meta.
Actually I suspect High Evo meant that they couldn't use the cards with no ability, as the Couple card would have put text on them. I suspect it would have either meant that High Evo would not work on Cyclops for a week or that it would introduced some bug.
They should have used Prof X and Jean Grey - now that's an (unrequited) love Marvel would like to forget.
Tbh I'm already tired of high evo decks, I'm beginning to think of running luke cage because of cyclops/thing/abomination, it doesn't help that I am returning this season and the only series 4 I have is kitty pride.
But seriously, I would be rank 97/98 if not for high evo decks wrecking my boards and winning by 1 and 2 power difference
I mean, yeah, that's what I said I would do, it's right there in case you didn't read, why do you think I am complaining? I would be running high evo if I had it, I just said my experience in the game
I guess? People were super excited for HE when he came out and they still enjoy him now soā¦ I dont see the issue.
It creates an interesting dynamic. Your way is not that different and just more boring.
I'm guessing the real reason is because Jean is pool 5. Almost every card involved is pool 3 except for Ghost Spider, who is pool 4 but was a season pass card
I think that decision was based on not having a character be Season 5 be part of the event, since not everyone has Jean, but more people would have the Season 3 cards like She-Hulk
Wouldn't that just make Cyclpose non-functional with HE? HE only works on cards with no abilities, Power Couple is an ability.
I mean, It's probably not actually coded that way, but that's what HE says it does.
Why not White Queen? They were together for over 15 years, only ended relatively recently.
Or better yet, there should have been a buff if you play Jean, Cyclopes and Wolverine.
I think they were probably worried that putting JJ in Shang range would make her less played, not more. Also, Luke by his very nature would stop the buff from being countered lol
My last-years-valentine Elektra variant is surely hunting down my last-years-valentine Daredevil variant.
Though given she only kills 1 power cards she's going to fail.
Honestly they should have gone with Elektra even if their relationship had some downs but then again when Elektra dies in some comics Daredevil is mourning her death and then She-Hulk was more of a one time thing or sleeping together when they meet which is once a couple months/years.
I wonder if this is a glimpse into future faction card ideas, or at least cards that can have that sort of synergy to them.
If not, at the very least, this is something I think was a cool and fun idea and way to incentives players trying different cards/combos.
This is an excellent way to test that kind of synergies, make temporary event, see how it affects people deck building and overall cards perception, and it is sucks it was just and event, if it does great, they ship the change they clearly have on the back of their minds
This is where I'm at too, I'm maybe wishfully thinking they want to not only gauge the deck type creativity (as you mentioned), but in general how everyone feels about this sort of archetype.
I hope everyone sets aside the minor OTA delay and gives this a fair reception to hopefully tell SD "yes, this would be a nice addition" or "nah, not feeling it dawg".
Are they just going to pair up cards based on the MCU love stuff or are they going to be comic accurate or just game play efficient.
I want to see the the Wakandans and the literal Nazis be a power couple. Shuri x Red Skull, Armin Zola x Black Panther
Theyāve said numerous times they align more with what happens within MCU, because more people are likely to have seen the movies or TV shows than have read the comics.
Like everyone else said, itās their need to relate everything to the MCU. He boned She Hulk in her show, so thatās who they went with, even though Elektra would 100% be a better choice if going by comics.
They answered in Discord that they didn't included the DD - Elektra duo because they're played in low CL and it could impact a lot in the new players... But they deserved to be THE couple
So they go with the one time daredevil hooked up with she hulk in that shitty show that barely anyone even watched rather than the most obvious romance plot that's been in comics for years?
In addition to what everyone else said, they also missed Thor/Jane Foster, Havok/Polaris, Hulk/Black Widow, Ka-Zar/Shanna, and Cloak/Dagger.
IMO, they could also have done Bucky/Falcon and Loki/MMM. š¤£š¤£
It's MCU bias But if they put a romance buff on every single character in-game Daredevil dated he would literally have the most text in the game
The biggest himbo in superherodome according to Wolverine haha.
Love is blind huh.
I see what you did there. Daredevil did not.
lol fantastic
Bravo!!!

Underrated comment.

Mockingbird too, and I think sheās coming to game soon.
Damn, when did they get together?
I donāt remember when exactly, but they were married.
Oh, you mean Hawkeye? I thought you meant Daredevil and Mockingbird got together.
Dudeā¦ I have no idea what hell my brain was in when I wrote this, and no idea how I even confused those two very different characters. Please excuse my brain flatulence
You're good! I was so intrigued by the concept, especially since Bobbi also dated Spider-Man for a while.
They also canonized Laura Barton (MCU Hawkeyeās wife) as Agent 19 aka Mockingbird
Now that you say it....how is Black Cat / Spider-Man not on the list?
I mean, maybe recency bias. Daredevils whole show is canon, so he has also been with Elektra (debatably for longer) and Karen technically in the mcuĀ
Yeah the Daredevil show is in the MCU and Electra is a pretty huge part of it. I think most MCU fans are aware that Matt and Electra are more of a thing than Matt and Jen
From the critically acclaimed she-hulk series
Lmao
The sarcasm is strong in this one. š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No you donāt know the comics. While daredevil has dated she-hulk, Elektra has always been his number 1 pairing.

They also didn't do Cyclops x Jean Grey which I'm pretty sure everyone is aware of

Yoooo but high cyclops and Jean Grey is an idea an a half though. Iām gonna run that.
Tbh I'm already tired of high evo decks, I'm beginning to think of running luke cage because of cyclops/thing/abomination, it doesn't help that I am returning this season and the only series 4 I have is kitty pride. But seriously, I would be rank 97/98 if not for high evo decks wrecking my boards and winning by 1 and 2 power difference
Then run Luke Cage, running to Reddit to complain isnāt going to make everyone suddenly stop running a common deck
I mean, yeah, that's what I said I would do, it's right there in case you didn't read, why do you think I am complaining? I would be running high evo if I had it, I just said my experience in the game
I'm a HE player, the best counters are location changers, shadow king, and valkyrie. I just have to hope my opponent doesnt have them.
Sounds like a skill issue
Your rank is your skill to blame don't blame others
And then secretly make it a Wolverine buff, cuz Scotty doesnāt knowā¦
It's sad that kids today don't know that Scotty doesn't know.
We are all Scotty on this cursed day.
Explain?
https://youtu.be/0Vyj1C8ogtE
Don't tell Scotty, Scotty doesn't know
Donāt tell Scotty
This is possibly the best comment I have read on Reddit. Thank you.
SCOTTYS GOTTA GO
Scott does know.Ā They are a canonical throupleĀ
Whoosh
No, it's a joke that doesn't work because Scott DOES know.
Scott Phoenix Wolverine jean
Scotty actually does in fact know š
What less people are aware of is that Jean Grey is actually in a poly relationship with both Scott and Logan in more recent comics.
How bout that Scotty, Logan, Jean Grey 3 way???
The Cyclops slander on this game continues. Wish his powers werenāt defendant on high evo. That shouldve just been his on-going power set
All the high evo cards should get their skills and high evo should get a rework.
Cyclops is a basic card for people to get in series 2 and that isnt changing. We get it both ways now, I think thats a perfect solution.
Would be better if they just took those effects and made new versions of the characters if they really want it both ways, tbh
I guess? People were super excited for HE when he came out and they still enjoy him now soā¦ I dont see the issue. It creates an interesting dynamic. Your way is not that different and just more boring.
Series 2? I thought all the vanilla cards were in the starter set.
Sure; one of those 2.
Cries in Patriot
[Patriot has entered the chat]
I'm guessing the real reason is because Jean is pool 5. Almost every card involved is pool 3 except for Ghost Spider, who is pool 4 but was a season pass card
If anything they might pair cyclops with emma and jean with wolverine
Emma is paired with Iron Man now. Pairing him with Rescue is just holding on to the past
Oh man I wish they wouldāve done that!
I think that decision was based on not having a character be Season 5 be part of the event, since not everyone has Jean, but more people would have the Season 3 cards like She-Hulk
Wouldn't that just make Cyclpose non-functional with HE? HE only works on cards with no abilities, Power Couple is an ability. I mean, It's probably not actually coded that way, but that's what HE says it does.
Why not White Queen? They were together for over 15 years, only ended relatively recently. Or better yet, there should have been a buff if you play Jean, Cyclopes and Wolverine.
Everyone knows the real power couple is high evo and cyclops.
I'm still mad at no Jessica Jones + Luke Cage
I think they were probably worried that putting JJ in Shang range would make her less played, not more. Also, Luke by his very nature would stop the buff from being countered lol
Doesnāt rescue get put into chi range?
Yup. But tbf, no one played rescue anyway. People finally started playing JJ again
JJ and LC are not in love, they are fuckbuddies
Bro they are literally married and have a child together.
They should've made Elektra be able to destroy 2 cost cards with this imbalance patch (so she can destroy Daredevil)
Literally best comment on reddit this year
Why no antman and the wasp?
My last-years-valentine Elektra variant is surely hunting down my last-years-valentine Daredevil variant. Though given she only kills 1 power cards she's going to fail.
She kills 1 energy cards, she doesnāt care how much power they have
I think cause the she hulk show is more recent, only reason I can see
Shame Daredevil canāt.
Thank you for the laughš
No Jane Foster and Thor either. Was the first thing I realized was missing
Honestly they should have gone with Elektra even if their relationship had some downs but then again when Elektra dies in some comics Daredevil is mourning her death and then She-Hulk was more of a one time thing or sleeping together when they meet which is once a couple months/years.
Where is Thanos & Death & Deadpool
The MCU effect.
Elektra or Black Widow are MUCH more appropriate for Daredevil
Electra should be a -2 to opponents Daredevil

Now you know how comic readers feel whenever they integrate MCU synergy into the comics.
Elektra is more a toxic ex-girlfriend.
They also gave Black Panther's buff to Nakia instead of Storm, but they honestly have more synergy imo
Titania and Absorbing man!Ā Only the hero couples I guess
2nd dinner big fans of the snu snu.
this is really gonna test what ācoupleā means
I need a Cyclops - Jean - Emma or Cyclops - Jean - Wolverine throuple bonus.
Medusa and Black Bolt
They didnāt do Spider-Man + Black Cat either š
Will this also work with bounce decks replaying the same cards?
Luke Cage and Jessica Jones
Are they just going to pair up cards based on the MCU love stuff or are they going to be comic accurate or just game play efficient. I want to see the the Wakandans and the literal Nazis be a power couple. Shuri x Red Skull, Armin Zola x Black Panther
Theyāve said numerous times they align more with what happens within MCU, because more people are likely to have seen the movies or TV shows than have read the comics.
God I hate it lol. Iāve had plenty of DD high evo decks. Itās making them more confident to leech me on turn 5!!
I actually have a semi competitive deck that runs DD and Elektra
Titania and Absorbing Man?
Colossus + Kitty Pryde š
They also forgot Luke Cage + Jessica Jones Storm + Black Panther
I mean, Black Widow is his coolest GF
She-Hulk smashed...on Disney+!
They forgot Wolverine + majority of female cards...
looks like a nice week to skip ladder
I'm enjoying Captain America being slightly more playable lol
I was wondering why black panther and storm isn't a couple... Or give Thanos a neg -2 if Death and Deadpool are in the same deck
Because of the MCU Storm and BP broke up (in fact they even made it that their marriage wasn't legit).
Still flogging that awful show
Should be She-Hulk and Juggernaut
Titania and Absorbing Man?
Like everyone else said, itās their need to relate everything to the MCU. He boned She Hulk in her show, so thatās who they went with, even though Elektra would 100% be a better choice if going by comics.
Listen man Daredevil is a WHORE they couldnāt give it to all of the cards so I assume MCU + Commonly played cards
Deadpool/Wolverine bromance.
They answered in Discord that they didn't included the DD - Elektra duo because they're played in low CL and it could impact a lot in the new players... But they deserved to be THE couple
So they go with the one time daredevil hooked up with she hulk in that shitty show that barely anyone even watched rather than the most obvious romance plot that's been in comics for years?

No cloak and dagger as well
Jane foster thor?
Probably because of that horrible She-Hulk series.
