In the most recent(to this writing) update to the OblivAeon Kickstarter, we got to see some images of the foil cards Fifth Anniversary Foil Hero Collection!
But that's not all we saw! We also managed to see something I don't think was leaked before:
http://tinyurl.com/hxpse5q (Sorry, I forgot how to make images appear in a post)
We now know FV Legacy's power!
Overwatch: You may either move an environment card in play to bottom of the environment deck, or one player may play a card.
Seems like a pretty awesome support power to me, it's right up Legacy's alley. :)
What's you guy's thoughts on this power? What do you think the other FV Promo member's powers gonna be? (I'd hazard a guess that some of them will focus on helping one another, much like Overwatch or some of the other super team promo heroes' powers)
Edit: Spellin' and spaces fixed. I think.

Not sure how much I can comment on this being a playtester other than I'm glad this is the version that was made.

This card seems great... on par with the other promos without overshadowing them.

I preferred the version that was worded:
Overwatch
Power: Legacy flies really fast and stops all the missiles.
But yeah, FV Legacy is awesome.

This is a really unique power, and should prove to put a fun new spin on ol' Legs.
I assume this power is meant to simulate him flying around, shoving monsters back into the holes they popped out of, then pointing to one of his teammates and saying, "Okay, now do it."

I think a Legacy playing two cards a turn can be a force to be reckoned with.

I… I didn't even see that… dang.
It all honesty though, I don't think we have a single "sub-par" Legacy Promo base power. Atomic Gaze is awesome, Gung-Ho is super Sweet, Galvanize could honestly be one of the best base powers in the entire game. It becomes a real struggle if you actually have to choose one in my opinion.
Discussing more of the team dynamic, it really is hard to say what we are going to see. It could end up being a lot of field management stuff, they are the premier super hero team, that would make them the best at responding to crisis situations and managing what is hitting the board and how bad things get. Alternatively, they could work like a super well oiled machine and just have a lot of supporting abilities that make other players do better.

Lordy yes. He takes so long to get set-up otherwise, being able to put things out there faster would be a godsend.
It also occurs to me that he'd be perfect for Rook City – instead of enduring the brutal on-destruction effects of all the cards, just slip them back under the deck.

I read that as atomic Glaze at first, then immediately wanted a donut.
But playing a second card? He's not the fastest hero to build up.

This power makes Expat and "Load" feel very very sad :/

I doubt that. She just picks up a gun and is much happier.

Maybe they can save time and make the next Legacy be:
Power: You win.

Sure, it doesn't take a lot to build him up normally, but I know personally I often have to make a difficult choice with LEgacy of building up or doing things now. With this power you can do both, or get out combos that are really hard to set up much faster. Turn 1 get out motivational charge and legacy ring. Or Fortitude and LEad from the Front, Surge of Strength and Thokk, ect. Plus, you don' have to play the card yourself, or you could even patrol the environment and remove something nasty as a base power.

I prefer Gaze, Gung Ho, or Solve Puzzle to Overwatch, but it is a good card.
It is really powerful, and I typically use it to play the cards you always want to play but never get around to because you are setting up. Thokk and Bolster Allies are obvious cards that get played more with this power (with your normal card play because of the draw), since they keep your hand size, otherwise his benefit tends to be short lived as you run out of cards.
It is well balanced with the other innates in my opinion, but everyone has their preference.

Short lived, and then you turn towards giving your allies additional card plays instead.
