Welcome to the OverPower Judge Test, where your encyclopedic knowledge of card interactions meets your ability to herd cats in cosplay. This isn’t just about knowing what happens when Sabretooth stares down John Carter with a Special and a dream — it’s about judgment, fairness, and the kind of confidence that comes from years of arguing over turn order on forums.

Let’s see if you’re rules-savvy enough to make Magneto sit down and shut up. Please Fill out the form with the first and last name, as well as your username and email associated to your account on the play network. 1 / 20 1. A player catches a duplicate later than the discard phase, but before both players have ventured. How should this be handled? A judge is called and the offending player is likely forced to concede the battle. The offense changed how the players ventured Objectives, so a judge would be called and the player affected would be allowed to increase the amount of Objectives ventured (with no draws given to the opponent) by up to the number of errors made, plus 1 (in this case, 1 error made plus 1 = up to 2 additional Objectives ventured) The offense was caught before Objectives were ventured. Ideally, no judge is needed to be called and the player would allow the affected player to change their placement if that might have been affected. The duplicate card and the copy of it are both discarded since this is a serious offense. 2 / 20 2. What is a sufficient level of shuffling to be completed in front of the Opponent before a match begins? 7 Riffle shuffles A pile shuffle (face down) with 3-8 piles used, followed by additional shuffling. A or B You do not have to shuffle in front of your opponent 3 / 20 3. A player has 3 Objectives in the Completed Pile, 4 in Reserve, 0 in Defeated. May they venture 2 Objectives from the Completed Objectives Pile? Yes they may, to move 2 objectives from the Reserve Pile to the Completed Pile (if they win the battle). Yes they may, but if they win no missions will move up a level since none are in the Defeated Pile. No, they cannot because you can never venture missions from the Completed Pile. No, they cannot in this scenario because they don’t have any Objectives in the Defeated Objectives Pile to move up. 4 / 20 4. A player plays a Special card which allows them to “Draw 3 cards. Discard duplicates”. It is not negated and they draw 3 cards. They draw a 5 MultiPower Power card which is a duplicate of a Level 5 Power card in their hand. May the player choose to keep the MultiPower Power card and discard the Level 5 Power Card which was in hand? Yes, they can according to the new rulebook No, they cannot because the 5 MultiPower Power card was drawn and is THE duplicate. 5 / 20 5. During my Draw Phase a player draws a duplicate of a placed level 5 Power card. The drawn 5 is a 5 MultiPower Power card they would rather keep. Can the player keep the drawn MultiPower Power card? Yes, you can always choose which of a duplicate to keep No, you can never choose to unplace a Placed card unless a specific card / effect allows you to (example – the “Marvel Manhattan” homebase in legacy play) 6 / 20 6. John Carter has been KO’d during this Battle Phase. The player plays Dejah Thoris’ “Draw 3 cards. Discard duplicates” Special card. They draw a John Carter Special card as 1 of their 3 cards. Can they keep the card? No, the card is currently unusable Yes. You only discard cards for KO Characters that starter the current battle KO'd. 7 / 20 7. The Wicked Witch of the West has her Special Aquaphobic in play, which reads, “No Universe Cards may be played against Wicked Witch for remainder of battle”. The Opponent attacks her with a Power Card. Can she play the Any Character “Fairy Protection” Any Character may not be attacked for remainder of battle? No, Wicked Witch already has a partial lockout in play, and Fairy Protection would be partially redundant. Yes, but the No Universe Cards Special would be discarded to the Dead Pile. Yes, and both effects would stay attached (paper-clipped) to Wicked Witch. None of the above. 8 / 20 8. I attack my Opponent with a Level 6 Any-Power power card. The Character playing it has a power grid of 7-7-5-4 I do not declare what type it is acting as. My opponent has a “Avoid 1 Combat” Special Card. Can they use that to avoid my attack? Yes, because I did not declare it’s type and my hero’s Combat Grid is 7, therefore the attack could have legally been combat. If I do not declare my attack’s type, my Opponent can choose anything it legally could have been. No. Any-Power attacks do not have to act as a power / skill type. No. Any-Power attacks cannot act as a power / skill type. They are purely colorless damage. No, because even thought I did not declare it, my character’s Energy Power grid is also 7, so it COULD have been Energy. 9 / 20 9. A player attacks with Count of Monte Cristo’s Special card Network of Thieves which reads “Acts as a level 6 Intelligence Attack. If successful target character must discard 2 cards of Opponent’s choice. Cards may be placed to target or in hand. “ If successful, the attack would spectrum KO the character. Can the Opponent discard 2 cards placed to the character before the character is KO’d, or does the KO occur first? The KO occurs first, and they cannot discard the 2 cards placed. Checking for KO is a process that is constantly happening. The Opponent can discard the 2 cards placed first. Checking for KO is a process that occurs after each card played is resolved. The discard effect of Count’s Special card is resolved, then we check characters for KO. The Opponent cannot discard the 2 cards placed first. That would be unfair and is not the intent of Count of Monte Cristo’s card. It is the Count of Monte Cristo’s choice whether the Opponent can do so. 10 / 20 10. A player has a Special card which reads “Your team is +2 to all actions for remainder of battle.” They play the Any-Homebase card Isis, which Acts as a Level 2 MultiPower attack. Does this attack gain the +2 bonus? No, because it is an Aspect Card and Aspects aren’t covered by the phrase “All actions” Yes, because Isis is an attack covered by the phrase “All Actions” Yes, because Isis comes from the Homebase and the Homebase is a part of the team. No, because Isis is an Aspect card which comes from the Homebase, and the homebase is not a part of the team (The team consists of the 4 Characters) 11 / 20 11. When offensively playing cards, which of the following steps is NOT taken? Cards are played from placed and/or in hand to the astral plane Cards are played from placed and/or in hand directly to the target characters across the table Targets for attacks are declared in the astral plane The Opponent is given a chance to negate any cards while they are in the astral plane 12 / 20 12. I have 1 character currently left on my front line, and 1 in reserve. The Opponent successfully plays a “Target Character may not attack for remainder of battle” Special card on my front-line Character. Can I play an any-homebase attack such as “Isis” or “Cheshire Cat”? No, the attack comes from a Character using your homebase, and you do not have a legal character to play it. Yes, when you play an Any-homebase special you put any character’s name in place of the text “Any-homebase”. However, while my front-line character is “pinned”, my reserve character could still play this card. No. When you play an Any-homebase Special you have to put a character’s name in play of the text “Any-homebase”. While my front-line character is “pinned”, I no longer have a character than can legally play the any-character attack. Yes. The Any-homebase Aspect card attack comes from the homebase, not a hero. 13 / 20 13. I have a Special Card which reads “Acts as a Level 4 Energy attack. May make 1 additional attack,” in hand. Which of these cards can follow it up as a legal follow-up attack? Ally card Teamwork card A Power Card playable by the character An Aspect card from the ERB Set of cards 14 / 20 14. An Opponent’s character may not attack for remainder of battle. That character has a non-numerical, non-targeted Special card that affects the Opponent. Can the Character play that special card? Yes, because attacks are only cards which are numerical and can be used to attack or cards that target a hero. No, because if a card affects the Opponent, it is an attack No, because a “pin” which states a Target Character may not attack for remainder of battle” also prohibits the character from playing any Special cards offensively. Yes, because attacks are always only numerical in nature. 15 / 20 15. The Opponent successfully plays Poseidon’s Special which makes you discard 7 cards from top of Draw Pile to the Dead Pile. One of the 5 is an Any Character Special card. Where is it discarded to? It is discarded to the Defeated Characters Pile, which is where Any Character Specials are normally discarded to. It is discarded to the Dead Pile, as that is what pile the Poseidon card specifies. It is discarded to the Defeated Characters Pile, because the Order of Operations states the OverPower base rules trump special cards that are played. None of the above 16 / 20 16. I have 1 character currently left on my front-line, and 1 in reserve. The Opponent successfully plays a “Target Character may not attack for remainder of battle” Can I then play an Any Character Special card attack on my next turn? Yes, the attack comes from “Any Character”, and no character in particular. Yes, when you play an Any Character special you put any character’s name in place of the text “Any Character”. While my front line character is “pinned”, my reserve character could still play this card. No. When you play an Any-Character Special you must put a character’s name in place of the text “Any-Character”. While my only front-line character is “pinned”, I no longer have a character than can legally play the any-character attack. Yes. The Any Character special attacks come from the homebase, not a hero. 17 / 20 17. A player attacks with the Any-Homebase card “Supay” which acts as a level 4 Brute Force attack. In response, the Opponent may: Avoid 1 attack with a Bruce Force Icon Avoid 1 Brute Force Attack Negate the effect of 1 special card played by Opponent A and B All of the above 18 / 20 18. Your opponent attacks you with a level 8 Energy Power card attack and plays it alongside Sherriff of Nottingham’s Taxes Special card which reads “Opponent’s Team is -2 to all actions for the remainder”. You play a negate while the attack is in the Astral Plane. Does this defend the 8 Energy Power card attack? It does defend the 8 Energy Power Card, because the 8 Energy Power Card and the -2 to all actions are a combined attack. It does defend the 8 Energy Power Card, because the -2 to all actions binds to 8 Energy Power Card and if you stop one, you stop both. It does not. Because you cannot negate the -2 to all actions before the attack crosses the Astral Plane It does not. Because negating the effect of the -2 to all actions ONLY stops the Special card and the associated bonus/minus from occurring. The 8 Energy Power card attack still exits the astral plane and the opponent can still defend it. 19 / 20 19. Zeus’ Inherent Ability reads that he cannot play Energy Teamwork cards. The player has a level 7 to use, 6 Any-Power teamwork in hand. May Zeus play this teamwork? Yes, he can. Because Any-Power Teamworks do not use a character’s grid. No, he cannot. Because Any-Power Teamworks do not have an Energy Icon. No, he cannot. Zeus’ Energy Grid is 8 and his Brute Force Grid is 6. The teamwork is 7 to use so Zeus cannot play it through his Brute Force Grid and even though his Energy Grid is an 8, his Inherent Ability keeps him from playing it through is Energy Grid. Only if an event changes the teamwork’s Any-Power Icon to a Brute Force Icon. 20 / 20 20. I play a “Draw 3 Cards. Discard Duplicates,” Special card. My Opponent plays a defensive negate while my Draw 3 is in the Astral plane. What may I do to counter this? Nothing. I cannot interrupt my Opponent’s defensive actions(s) unless a card explicitly has that special ability. Play a negate offensively to counter my opponent’s negate. Play a negative defensively to counter my opponent’s negate. None of the above. Your score isThe average score is 81% 0% Download PDF By Wordpress Quiz plugin
