Also, each card will be rated according to their ability, cost, stats and affiliation.
1/10- This card is useless, it helps your opponent more than you do.
2/10- This card is almost useless, try not to use it.

5/10- Mediocre card
6/10- With some set up, you can make this card work, but it really takes a lot of effort to make this card work.

9/10- This card is amazing, you can use this card in almost any environment
10/10- The perfect card, if you play with this card you have an extremely high chance of winning the game.
Basic Action Cards
Relaxing makes another comeback. I have reviewed it before so refer to my previous reviews.
Well you can stop your opponent's deadly character from even being rolled and send them directly into the used pile, some luck involve but for 3 cost and to stop your opponent's combo, it's worth the shot.
7/10
This is such an overpowered BAC, you can deal damage to a character and not knocking it out, which is very common and then prep a die and this die as well. So you can use this not only to deal damage but only increase your die count next turn.
9/10
Character Cards
Let's begin with Batman, decent stats for his cost so you are essentially getting him for his stats and if you have 2 active sidekicks you can save some fielding cost for him.
5/10
A good boost for your sidekick, but 5 cost for him can be a bit expensive.
4/10
Well this version of Batman is going to be super powerful with lots of sidekicks active! Make the best out of him by using effects to make an opposing character villain so he can trample over your opponent!
6/10
Well I am really not a fan of characters with field cost when their stats is below 3A and 3D, and 2 field cost for her is too expensive. You are looking to field her at level 1 and if you have a villain active, you can level her up saving some fielding cost, which takes a lot of effort.
4/10
A better ability, however for her cost and her stats to prep only 1 die seems very weak, potentially 2 dice is fine but remember, her level 3 fielding cost is 2 energy, so what are you really aiming for?
5/10
You know what is the flaw here? Is the inability to control your rolls, if you need to KO a bolt energy character and you rolled a fist, you pretty much waste your ability. It is so hard to pull off and so much luck needed and you need to sacrifice a sidekick in the process.
4/10
Well, a decent ability to deal damage and potentially knock out any good blockers and you can deal damage to your opponent directly, adding in overcrush would be perfect.
6/10
A potentially AOE guy. Low defense to get knocked out easily.
6/10
A decent ability, but your stats is a little hard to get knocked out and also you need to field Joker first before triggering her ability, so much to set up just to prep one die.
4/10
Well you can keep Harley active and whenever you field a villain, you boost her and when she is powerful enough you can give her overcrush and she can deal some massive damage.
6/10
Well this is a great suicide card, all you need to do is get her to knock out and you can wipe out the entire field, but just a note that it's very double edge sword so make sure your opponent loses out more than you before knocking her out, best is to knock her out while she is defending.
6/10
You can keep preparing a die each turn as long as your character cost is higher, this requires tons of luck, and very precise dice management. It's very hard to pull off such that you always benefit from the effect. Also there's this chance where you prep a 6 cost dice and your opponent prep a 7 cost dice and you just screw up big time. You could argue that you can use the Hyenas to cycle out your weaker dice but you are giving your opponent an extra dice for nothing.
4/10
Well this is a better card, for one, you can help to cycle out your weaker dice, and the thing about this is that your opponent have to put the drawn dice into his used pile so that's a heavy payment on his part, even if you don't get the +3A, you just cost him a dice in his bag. You could also help him cycle out his weaker dice too so can be a double edge sword situation as well.
I am not a fan of luck based characters, so if you think you can pull off the trick then by all means use her for your team.
5/10
Well this is the same concept just that you deal damage instead, so if you really want to pull this off, you need to start purchasing expensive characters and keep them in your bag and have better dice management than your opponent so he/she will always be the one taking the damage instead of you, a worse case is you both take damage and the worst is you risk taking damage. The good thing about this is the dice drawn for the ability foes back to the owner's bag so no harm.
6/10
A good blocker in general for her cost. You can perfectly counter an overcrush character if it's not a villain and you can knock it out.
7/10
Wow, just wow, all you need to do is keep her active and then start knocking out your opponent's non-villain and he/she starts losing life.
8/10
Basically a villain deck supporter, you can keep her active and then keep fielding villains and deal damage to them.
8/10
Again very luck based, however, the reward is only having a 2A and 2D attack and you need to have an active villain, the drawback is very heavy too, there is a 50% chance Power girl cannot attack.
3/10
Well not a bad ability, you can heal in the late game when you really need to and the more non-sidekick characters he have in the field, you gain that many life. Also know it's a fielding ability, so you might not get to trigger it again.
6/10
For such high defense, he should never have a fielding ability and also you need Harley Quin to be active in order to prep a die, not convinced.
4/10
A much better ability, you just need to keep him fielded and name an energy that your opponent uses the most and start dealing him/her damage if he/she keeps fielding those characters of that type.
7/10
Conclusion
This set surprises me as it's the first team pack to come with BAC, which is great, it gives new player a good way to start the game and also make strong BAC playable in current format.
So this team pack does have good characters and action, but nothing too much to lose out if you don't possess it, so get it if you have the spare money or you are a DC fan or you just like Harley Quinn.
