Scenario Customization Rules
When playing a scenario for the first few times, use the recommended decklist.
To add variety and unpredictability to future replays, a number of modular encounter sets have been designed. These sets can be added to (and/or removed from) a scenario.
Each modular set has been assigned a difficulty level, to provide a guide as to how it might impact a scenario. A set with a higher difficulty level will generally add more difficulty to a scenario.
For best results when customizing an encounter set, remove the modular encounter set from the list above, and replace it with one of the other modular encounter sets. (For an even wilder and more unpredictable experience, players may experiment with more than one modular set, but this will dilute the encounter deck).
When adding a modular set, players may either choose the set they would like to play against, or (to increase unpredictability) they can select one at random from all available modular sets and shuffle the set into the encounter deck without looking at it.
In addition to the modular sets in each of the lists above (Bomb Scare in the Rhino scenario, Masters of Evil in the Klaw scenario, and Under Attack in the Ultron scenario), there are two additional modular encounter sets in this product, listed below.
Legions of Hydra encounter set (modular, difficulty 4): Hydra Soldier (x3), Legions of Hydra (x2), Madame Hydra.
The Doomsday Chair encounter set (modular, difficulty 5): Biomechanical Upgrades (x3), MODOK, The Doomsday Chair (x2)
