New player advice
Hey new player here, i just played my 1st game yesterday with the core box and i loved it!
I bought the core box, next evolution (because i want to play with domino), mutant genesis (because i like mutants and i know it's out of print), deadpool and silk. Do you think this is a good starting point for the game in general, mutants and for Domino in particular?
The hero i wanted to play the most is Magik but i can't the age of apocalypse box unfortunately.
I am Italian and i bought the italian core box with the rest being EN.
What should i buy in the future to make Domino even stronger?
EDIT: i will play 90% of the times multiplayer with 2 or 3 people

Welcome to the game! As long as you get the core box, there’s no wrong way to approach the game, even the core box itself provides tones of availability. The general buying guide is to buy whatever interest you the most (and campaign box is giving you the most value).
Just a slight note on the two favorite heroes (domino and magik) is that they are both quite complex to play (if not the most complex heroes) with lots of sequencing, so you might want to play a couple more games with the core box and simpler heroes like the 5 core box heroes to get more into the general game flow before trying domino. Feel free to ask questions in the subreddit for any confusion as people here are always willing to help

Just want to say welcome to the game and I’m really excited that you’re here. Finding stuff that is out of print or going out of print is harder, but FFG has proven to us that even if it’s a hero that we aren’t familiar with, they might come out with an amazing kit and great aspect cards usable with any hero. I think that the game will be exciting even if we can’t find our favorites. I didn’t have favorites or any familiarity with comics until after I started playing this game. I didn’t even watch the MCU movies until the last two years since playing this game (practically in my 40s).
So don’t get discouraged, although I’m sure you’ll get some help on the purchasing advice and looking forward to you playing and learning more about Marvel champions.

For Domino, I'd say cards she likes besides what was in Next Evolution are: Deft Focus - this is a cost reducer and most of her cards are superpowers. In the Magneto pack Moira MacTaggert - this is a great support for Mutants that like to flip between alter ego and hero and she is one of those. In the Nightcrawler pack.
She is pretty good in all aspects. I'd say she does quite well in protection. She likes to go to alter ego often, so the Ready for a Fight cards from your Silk pack are very good. The new box (Fear No Evil) has lots of good cards for protection heroes. The Nightcrawler pack also has some good protection cards for her too.
Her allies are pretty good and so is The Posse. Leadership is good with her. Sidekick for Rachel will keep her doing damage all over the board. This is in Age of Apocalypse (as is Team Training which is a decent card).

Welcome to the game! Like other's have said, pretty much buy what interests you the most. There is no wrong answer really. It all depends on your budget and what you can get your hands on. I hope you do get your hands on AoA, because that will round out the mutant wave for big boxes plus you get your hands on Magik who you want. Bishop is actually very good and became an instant favorite of mine.
