First things first, we have Black Widow’s alter ego: Natasha Romanoff. Just like Tony Stark, she starts with a hand size of 6 and 9 hit points. I really wish they’d alter those numbers by one, because all I see is 69, which is nice. Now that we have 2 characters with these stats, it seems like going forward that 6 cards/9 HP is going to be the golden standard for “Non-powered” Heroes - those heroes that are just ordinary humans that are “Super” through tech, advanced training, or some other means. With Nat’s “Mission Prep” ability, we start to understand that her deck is going to be focused on getting “Preparation” cards played. Which begs the question: do we have any Preparation cards up to this point, or are they all coming in this pack/future packs? (Standby while I go look this up). Apparently there aren’t any up to this point.

Flipping over to the hero side, Black Widow’s “Widowmaker” ability makes it even more obvious how to play her deck. Her native stats remind me of Captain America’s stats with 2 Thwart, 2 Attack, and 2 Defense. To me, it makes her seem like a balanced hero that you can build to either be really good at Fighting, Thwarting, or decent at both. She seems like a very versatile character that will be great in 3 or 4 player games where you can quickly switch up tactics to help out opponents that need a hand.
