The Fear No Evil Cycle: A Complete Collecting Guide for Marvel Champions LCG

Marvel Champions releases new content in cycles, grouping a deluxe expansion with several smaller Hero Packs and scenario packs that all share a story thread. The current cycle is built around Daredevil and the Hand, and it is now five releases deep with one more pair of Hero Packs still to come.

Collecting a cycle out of order is possible, but each release leans on story and sometimes mechanical setup from the one before it, so a release-order checklist is genuinely useful here.

This guide lays out every confirmed release in the Fear No Evil cycle, what each box adds, and roughly what it costs in Canada.

Here is the complete picture, from the cycle's July opener through its planned November close.

Release 1: Fear No Evil Deluxe Expansion (July 24, 2026)

Fear No Evil kicked off the cycle as the deluxe expansion, introducing Daredevil and Echo as new playable heroes. It broke from the line's usual format by including six scenarios instead of the standard five, and its villain roster covers Bullseye, Electro, Purple Man, and Kingpin.

Canadian pricing for this release sits around 48.95 CAD through dedicated distributors, reflecting its position as the cycle's highest-tier, full deluxe-expansion release.

Release 2 and 3: Jessica Jones and Luke Cage Hero Packs (August 21, 2026)

These two Hero Packs arrived together, rounding out the Defenders-adjacent cast alongside Daredevil. The Jessica Jones Hero Pack includes a 40-card Justice-aspect deck built around her rivalry with Purple Man, while the Luke Cage Hero Pack offers a 40-card Leadership-aspect deck with 15 signature cards.

Both list around 18.95 CAD through Canadian distribution, which is the typical price point for a standard Hero Pack in this line, well below either the deluxe expansion or the scenario pack that follows.

Release 4: Shadowland Scenario Pack (October 16, 2026)

Shadowland is the cycle's only scenario pack, an extra-large 90-card box with three new scenarios built around the Hand and the demon Krahllak, guest-designed by returning former Marvel Champions designer Michael Boggs. Unlike the Hero Packs, it adds no new playable hero, just new encounter content to run against heroes you already own.

It carries no new character to build around, but it is thematically the cycle's centerpiece story beat, tying Daredevil's personal history with the Hand directly into gameplay. Canadian pricing sits around 26.95 CAD through dedicated distributors.

Release 5 and 6: Elektra and Iron Fist Hero Packs (This November, Exact Day Unconfirmed)

The cycle closes with Elektra and Iron Fist Hero Packs, which Fantasy Flight Games has confirmed for this November without naming an exact calendar day; retailer listings are currently split between November 13 and November 20, 2026. These two complete the roster of heroes directly tied to Daredevil's world, with Elektra's own corrupted history with the Hand giving her release particular narrative weight after Shadowland.

Detailed card-by-card coverage of these two packs is being handled separately elsewhere, so this guide references them by release slot and date rather than duplicating that content here.

Suggested Collecting Order

If you are starting the cycle fresh today, Fear No Evil should come first regardless of personal hero preference, since it establishes both new heroes and the villain roster referenced throughout the rest of the cycle. From there, the Jessica Jones and Luke Cage Hero Packs can be picked up in either order, followed by Shadowland once you want new scenario content to run against your existing decks.

Save the Elektra and Iron Fist Hero Packs for last chronologically, both because that matches their actual release date and because Elektra's story connections to the Hand land better after having already played through Shadowland.

Budgeting the Full Cycle

Adding up Canadian pricing across all six releases puts the complete Fear No Evil cycle at roughly 160 to 170 CAD total, assuming Elektra and Iron Fist price similarly to the cycle's earlier Hero Packs. Spreading purchases across each release date rather than buying everything retroactively in one sitting makes that total far easier to absorb.

Collectors who only want the story's core beats without every Hero Pack could reasonably skip straight to Fear No Evil and Shadowland, picking up Hero Packs selectively based on which heroes they actually want to play rather than completing the full roster.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Starting with Shadowland before Fear No Evil and missing the villain and hero setup it depends on.
  • Assuming every release in the cycle adds a new playable hero; Shadowland does not.
  • Buying Elektra and Iron Fist content before Shadowland despite their later release date.
  • Budgeting for the cycle using deluxe-expansion pricing across every release instead of each product's actual tier.
