Thematic Map: The Raft

Recommended Match-Ups: Bigfoot, Bloody Mary, Buffy, Bullseye, Ms. Marvel, Sinbad

Card List Provided By Unmatched.Cards

History and Fun Facts

- Ghost Rider is the only character in the game to get the equivalent to errata; while he was previously allowed to, it has been ruled that Ghost Rider cannot boost his movement after spending Hellfire to activate his ability. This is because this facilitated the "Vroom Vroom" strategy, allowing Ghost Rider to run laps across the map and deal damage to everyone he drove through.

Noah Cohen, Discord, June 1st, 2022

​

- It has been stated that none of the Marvel sets were playtested with competitive play in mind, with Ghost Rider often being brought up concerning this conversation.

Can Ghost Rider both BOOST his maneuver and spend 1 Hellfire to activate his core ability?

Yes, *but* Ghost Rider's move will be set to 4, overriding the extra move you would have gotten from that card's BOOST value.

Recommended Roster:
In the Dark of the Night

More thematically cohesive than anything else, turns out a lot of the lower-tier characters in Unmatched happen to fall under the creepy/horror setting. A perfect roster to bring to this year's Halloween game night!

Card List Provided By Unmatched.Cards

History and Fun Facts

- During the final phase of licensor approvals, Marvel expressed that they didn't like Misty Knight having a gun, as they disliked the concept of her shooting Moon Knight. Because of this, a lot of her cards were made to be martial arts-themed and leaned away from her history as a cop.

Brian Neff, Discord, August 22nd, 2022

​

- Luke Cage's foil card is the first to feature holo glitter foil.

Does Luke Cage's ability work against effects that redirect combat damage (e.g. Golden Chain Mail)?

Yes.

Recommended Roster:
Take a Beating

Each of these characters can take as much damage as they dish, able to swing for big numbers while having the defensive options to back off when they need to.

History and Fun Facts

- Moon Knight was in development for Unmatched as early as 2019.

Suzanne Sheldon, Discord, March 1st, 2022

​

- Moon Knight is noted as being the trickiest of the Marvel characters to design and balance. At one point, Restoration reskinned the character to be generic to get playtesting data from the full pool of testers.

Does Khonshu take damage from effects that redirect combat damage (e.g. Golden Chain Mail)?

Yes, because it is still combat damage which is the only form of damage Khonshu takes.

2

If Dracula uses his ability on Khonshu, does he still draw a card?

No, because no damage was dealt.

Recommended Roster:
Take a Beating

Each of these characters can take as much damage as they dish, able to swing for big numbers while having the defensive options to back off when they need to.
