You can find me at GtG Forums, BGG, and Discord under the yakguardian/Yak Guardian Screenname.
IMPORTANT NOTE: My Print-and-Play (PnP) pdfs are designed for printing at a size for use with Swingline/GBC's ID Badge size laminating pouches (product #56005). This was done by stripping most of the bleed from the sides of the cards so that the final size is 675x1050 pixels instead of the standard 754x1054 pixels.

So I created a Santa Hero deck, not really meaning it as a serious deck, more of an early Christmas present to the talented folks on the Sentienls variant forum over at BGG. Meanwhile, a simple question from Rob Brown over in the Sentinels Custom Playtesting Discord started a conversation that took this one-off deck and turned it into a full Christmas-themed expansion. (My goal is to have this expansion complete and ready to post to BGG by 11/30/2021.)

Setup: Set up two Heroes as normal. Play Bardac in the Environment play area, active side up. (H)=3.
Gameplay: Bardac is a Hero Target and a Hero Character Card. If Bardac is the only Active Hero, the Hero Lose-Game Over! Bardac shares the Environment Play Area for effects that target all Targets/Cards in a Play Area. If Bardac is the Target of a Play-a-Card, Use-a-Power, or Draw-a-Card effect, he instead regains 1HP. If Bardac is the target of a Discard or Destroy a Card effect, he instead deals himself 1 irreducible psychic damage. When Bardac deals damage, the players decide the target.
Thematically, Bardac is a C-level Hero who just happens to be in the area when the "regular" Heroes confront the Villain.
Bardac's Card
He's also available as part of my Fan Made Promos collection.
FRONT: Bardac / 28HP / At the Start of the Environment Turn, Bardac Deals 1 Target 2 Energy Damage. One Player may Play a Card and Another Player may Draw a Card, even if these actions are disallowed by another Card.
BACK/INCAP: Incapacitated Powers (Choose one each Turn):
--One Player may Play a Card.
--Destroy an Environment Card.
--One Hero Regains X HP where X equals the number of Incapacitated Heroes, plus 1.
When I was building and testing my Young Justice deck, my friend Scott felt that it was overpowered. I, and others, did not feel so, but I respected Scott's opinion enough to undertake a massive statistical analysis of the Heroes. Using the 26 (pre-OblivAeon) Heroes as a baseline, I have now tested not only Young Justice but also over 80 additional custom (Licensed, my own, and other Third-Party) Hero decks. By and large, I have found nearly all of them to be balanced. (Some Cauldron and OblivAeon Heroes have skewed higher, and I suspect the Earth Prime Heroes will as well, but the analysis is still ongoing.)
When OblivAeon was in playtesting, many felt that the Heroes were skewing tougher than the Multiverse era Heroes. I was among them. As a result, I have treated them as a seperate group and left my stats based on the 26 original Heroes. When I complete various groups (OblivAeon, Cauldron, Earth Prime, etc.) I will add additional analyses to the baseline stats.
My testing methodology is: Ra, K.N.Y.F.E., and the Hero being tested, versus Baron Blade, at the Mobile Defense Platform. I run the scenario until I have achieved five wins. Except for Win Percentage, the stats are based solely on the victorious games. I include stats for Survivability (percentage of original HP left), Per Round Damage Output (abbreviated PRDO; not damage dealt but total damage put out into the universe, including hero deck triggred self-damage, damage boosts, overkill damage, but excluding damage reductions), and number of Suport Cards (cards that boost other Heroes: allowing Plays, Powers, Draw, HP regains, Hero damage boosts, Non-Hero damage reduction, etc.). I also record number of cards that allow Ongoing Destruction, but mostly as a curiosity as a Hero without it in this scenario leaves the only hope against Baron Blade's Ongoings as KNYFE's 2 cards.
Having the baseline values (Survivability 32% Standard Deviation 9.04%, PRDO 4.22 SD 2.0535, Support 6 SD 5.547), I have used it to playtest OblivAeon and Earth Prime Heroes, and custom Heroes (both my own and other people's). It is not, by any means, a perfect tool, but I feel it is a useful tool, especially during development.
The summary of the stats to date can be found here.
| Expansion Name | Win Rate | Survivability | PRDO | Support | NOTES |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Multiverse Era (Official) Heroes [BASELNE] | 86% | 32% | 4.22 | 6 | 26 Heroes (2 are part of the Testing Scenario.) |
| OblivAeon Era (Official) Heroes | 94% (+0.57 SD) | 40% (+0.88 SD) | 5.76 (+0.75 SD) | 8.18 (+0.39 SD) | 11 Heroes |
| Cauldron (Licensed) Heroes | 18 of 22 Heroes complete | ||||
| Earth Prime (Licensed) Heroes | 1 of 12 Heroes complete | ||||

NOTE: Cut-off for inclusion in this table is 8 Heroes from a single source.

The Bug was a result of a suggestion in this thread by TakeWalker. The card text was written by Zodiac Jack. Yak Guardian (that would be me) purchased from art from an app-builder art site and created the PnP deck Yes, the deck has 42 cards. I didn't try to fix this, I just built the deck as written.
UPDATE: Per Zodic Jack: remove all 3 copies of Regenerate and add 1 copy of Sting. I will update the PnP PDF at some point.

Rob Brown (Bobbertoriley322) & Mike Williams (Insomn) created the "Gun Club" variants of Expatriette, Matt Bishop's Tango One, Rob's Tucker, and Mike's Charade. It's not really an expansion, but it seems cool enough to mention.

NOTE: In the Pantheon file, I have given them the OblivAeon Nemesis Icon, as this fits thematically, allowing you to play out the scene where Ra and the Ennead make their heroic charge against OblivAeon. However, I've also included a version with their own unique Nemesis Icon (which I strongly believe all of the OblivAeon era hero deserved), in the Fusion file.
