Mage Knight: The Apocalypse Dragon

Super disappointing expansion.
No new advanced actions, relics, spells, artifacts, units, or monsters.
Quests are horribly designed. Not good for competitive scenarios. Most are too easy and give to good of rewards. Others are just blanks in competitive due to the ability to snipe the quest completions.
New MK to play is nice but the skills are badly designed. Some are overpowered and some are useless so the character is feast or famine.

New dragon boss is not random enough and very easy to plan for. 4 horsemen should have been designed to be usable in the normal monster pool for use in all scenarios.

New adventure sights are the only things I like.

Not surprising. Mage Knight went to shit half way trough 2003 afters Topps bought out Wizkids.
And qc fell off a cliff after the NECA aids at the end of the 2000s
Mage Knight hasn't been more then a name slapped onto plastic since then.

Mage Knight has always been dogshit, sorry. The core mechanics are the problem, the expansions can never overcome having to polish a turd.

it was already on the down swing, Topps purchased Wizkids in June 2003, 1.0 was already being phased out for the 2.0 release in November and they had already stopped support of the Dungeons sets completely.

Since I think ppl are assuming you're talking about the og heroclix
But yeah I don't understand wtf they were thinking for this expansion. Years in development, nothing anyone wanted, overpriced for a stupid fucking miniature that adds nothing of value. And their only answer to everyone complaining was
>there's no new AA because muh deck balance
only to turn around and say
>fine we'll give new stuff in the next expansion...oh btw it's going to be a standalone simplified version
Fwiw Vlaada hasn't touched the series in a decade (Phil works on it now) and talking with particular members of Wiz, I get the impression they kind of want the best of both worlds - Vlaada's name stamped on like Tom Clancy with none of the commitment.
Honestly they should have just copied Terra Nova and taken all the good fan expansions and give them the "official" treatment.

NTA, but that's all I wanted to know.
