## Description
If you are already a fan of Marvel United and feel your favorite heroes need a bit more synergy, the Promo Team Decks are exactly what you have been waiting for. This set includes 15 thematic decks, such as X-Force, Illuminati, and the Fantastic Four, adding an extra layer of strategy to your game. The concept is simple yet powerful: when forming a team, you gain access to a special deck available to everyone at the table. Instead of playing only with your hero cards, you can choose to use a team card, which opens up a massive range of tactical possibilities and insane combos.

But do not think it is all fun and games! The real challenge here is managing these effects. Most team decks contain cards with negative effects. When they appear in the display, they remain active, hindering the group. To get rid of them, someone must 'take one for the team' by spending their turn to discard the problematic card. It is a risk-reward system that forces players to communicate and decide who will sacrifice themselves for the greater good. It is exactly this kind of interaction that elevates the Marvel United experience, making every round much more tense and satisfying.

Note that to use these decks, all heroes at the table must belong to the same team, and the game must be set to 'Hard Challenge' mode. This ensures the difficulty matches the power these cards provide. Since many of these heroes are exclusive to past campaigns or stretch goals, this set is a treat for those looking to complete their collection and breathe new life into their sessions. If you enjoy optimizing your moves and want to see your favorite heroes operating as a real team, this material is essential.
