Card 151: War Machine And now, a battle that is just a character shooting stuff off-card. 😀 I tell you what though, reading the story detailed on the cardback in real-time (or close to it), it def felt like a BIG DEAL. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #IronMan #WarMachine

Card 152: Spider-Man vs Venom I do like how they mix up the featured confrontations, sometimes the first gets spotlighted, sometimes a notable recent one, etc. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #SpiderMan #Venom

Finally hit Infinite this season. What a slog. Took forever to get into the 80s (rode a Thanos build there), then stalled out again. After getting sick of losing to it, took Cerebro 2 of all things to finish it out. A surprisingly strong deck that fits my play style. #MarvelSnap

Card 154: X-Cutioner's Song The first "crossover as Famous Battle" card! Given this is where Stryfe force-feeds baby food to Scott & Jean, rendering them as action figures in his hands nicely captures the story's essence. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #Cable #Xmen

Card 155: Spider-Man vs. Sinister Six Not the sharpest figure work, but the layout captures the frenetic energy of a "pile on Spidey" Sinister Six battle (even if the specific battle being cited involved more heroes). #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #SpiderMan

Card 156: Infinity War Infinity War was my introduction to all the Adam Warlock/Thanos stuff - and really the cosmic side of Marvel This is a packed card, but it sure seems like they put the B team on these Famous Battle cards, doesn't it? #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles

Card 157: Spirits of Venom Another really busy card w/very rudimentary figure work. Love that crossover name, though. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #SpiritsOfVenom #Venom #SpiderMan

Card 158: Hulk Vs. Leader This is basically just a crappier version of the Incredible Hulk #400 cover, with longer arms, sharper chins and less holo-foil. I do like how Hulk's right arm is breaking the panel border. #TradingCardADay #MU4 #FamousBattles #Hulk
