Thanks! I realised I have Vision so swapped Armor for him, hopefully I pull HT or Dagger soon.
Think i will leave this month's cards then and save my keys.

I want Galactus as he's one of my faves, I even have the giant £400 Legends figure of him at home haha.

No Ghost Spider either?

I ask because my best move deck is a move/bounce deck, and I think she is super necessary. Her + Beast + Falcon in place of maybe Nightcrawler/Chavez/Vision.

Then you drop Forge/Multiple Man for Human Torch/Dagger, and you got my deck.

Bouncing Ghost Spider/Iron Fist/Strange in particular can help get your Dagger/Torch/Vulture/Kravens pretty massive. Being able to redrop Ghost Spider + other stuff to pull big stuff right instead of left on turn 6 can really throw opponents used to Heimdall too.

Sadly no Ghost Spider or Beast either, I'm at collection level 1600 and barely ever seem to get any new cards from the collector's reserves any more.

Got Caeira and Nocturne on first two pulls and don't really want Selene (though if I had gotten her I would have been fine). Gonna save my remainder key.

Also it's time they reworked Hela.

Yeah you hit a point where the tokens start being your main way of acquiring cards and it slows down soooooo much. Don't remember the collection levels, do you at least get 1 free pool 3 card a month at your level? If so, you should be able to target specific cards you want in there at least...

Man. Hela has gotta fucking go. It's just such a stupid broken ass card. I hate the game a little more every time I run into this garbage.

Hela was awful for the longest time, they just kept making cards that made her consistent instead of Casino

He was a bit of a problem, but he was never THAT bad, and now I literally only see him when a random card generator throws him.

Hela is a bigger problem, and has been since before even the first nerf on Lockjaw, due to how much harder she is to disrupt. Heck in his hayday half the time you played Lockjaw he was dead the same turn because they Cosmo'd there

Thanos also exists and will happily exploit Lockjaw at 3 mana with the stones.

Probably Lockjaw doesn't get reverted until they rework Thanos which they said they are planning to do.

Looks like the leagues have begun. I'm probably just going take it as a bonus way to get some credits and boosters, maybe a variant, but I don't want to hyper compete in these. Espicially as you can boost your points with Gold so... yeah. The winner is the one who just grinds out the most, or reduces the grind by paying the most.

I do wonder at what stage, if ever, Marvel Snap does Rotation. Only second year in so its probably too soon, but there's almost certainly some cards that limit design space that I feel they would try rotation eventually. It also prevents people from getting scared they have to amount this endless supply of cards to be competitive.

Though on the other hand, I wonder since the Marvel Snap card pool is smaller than other games they may not do it for awhile.

Make him cheaper than 6 drop and super weak, and rework the stones into a Voltron-ing concept, combining with him and buffing him. The Space stone would mean that he isn't even stuck where you first play him.

Here I will try to fix Hela too: she fills her location with previously discarded cards, doesn't touch other locations.

Anyway, I applied for a job with them recently and didn't even get an interview, so you are spared from my ideas for now 🙃

I like the Thanos rework. Holding the stones from play would give him massive power, but also clogs up your hand if you don't draw him before most of the stones. Or, you play some stones and he isn't as powerful when you do play him. I think there's likely a LOT of options to rework him.

But they never will.

I've see that idea of Voltron/Exodia tossed around, I like it but it probably needs some new designed card draws similar to Jane Thor to have any consistency though. (Or I guess make one stone a 0 cost so the player feels inclined to use Jane Foster) This would also limit his design space in builds if there was a staple card you needed in always include in Thanos.

That Hela change kills the card. Leaving an empty lane telegraphs easy counters like Cosmo. Or you just play around it like not playing into the obvious Move/ Heimdall combo.

I don't know what you do to Hela. I guess you could increase her cost to 7 and force players to draw a ramp card to even pull off that casino turn 6. But we really need a Mobius M like card that stops energy increase.

That'd be fun tbf, but then if you don't draw him he's just a dead card as are they

I'm UK Based so... maybe perhaps?

You get matched with 30 people from I assume a similar skill and collection level. Prizes start at boosters, then credits get added, then a mystery variant, gets upgraded to a premium mystery variant, then first gets a spotlight key.

That said, not a fan of the perks you can buy to gold to give you Double Points Earn for 30 minutes (Or Prevent Point loss, scoring system is +100 points for a win, and +/- 25 per Cube won or lost).

Its only for a 2 day period though, maybe I get something out of it at least. Although I feel like Boosters really feel meaningless now with the shop changes.

Wow a Spotlight key for first?

Strange I haven't seen that commercial with Ben Brode saying the game isn't pay to win for a while.

So much Hela but did the majority of my infinite claim this season to cannonball clog. As it turns out cannonball was indeed worth the 6k tokens lol.

Knee jerk, initial impressions of the two new cards based on my testing and experience with/against them:

Blink has been quite good and has definitely made Ramp and Hela decks quite a bit better. People are going to compare her to other over powered 5 drops in the game like Annhilus but she fulfills a very important role in the decks that she specializes in and I would say is a requirement for those decks to play to optimal level. There are other fun stuff you can do with Blink and I expect with the Leech buff she will get additional utility there.

Nocturne has come in very slightly under my expectations. She is also quite good but she isn't a "must have" meta breaker card, she feels very appropriately balanced. IMO she is probably the most efficient movable card in terms of stats and I would generally use her over like a Spider Man in Angela type decks (more realistically I would juse use both cards). Obviously she is going to be staple in C5 decks and a nice option for Silver Surfer decks. There aren't that many Limbo decks floating around so it's harder to get mileage out of her location changing effect but that ability will still be a threat for Magick decks. I am still very happy that I pulled her because she can be slotted in many decks and can fill in holes for cards you may not have (like say Silk).

Hela is a nuisance. This is like Thanos when Blob released. Hot location makes it insufferable too

Edit: I got up to 93 but can't get 2 wins in a now with my midrange stuff against that rng guff or Prof X crap.

I've seen Blink in a good number of decks, even seen it in Sera Surfer. I've seen someone go Brood -> Absorbing Man -> Blink to pull Absorbing Man, hit your Sera and then go Silver Surfer into Absorbing Man on the last turn (That instance was especially disgusting.) Certainly feels like the stronger of the two cards in the current season.

yeah the only way I've found to stop her is to jean grey + cosmo. Otherwise you're only hope is that they don't draw her or discard her.

Cozy had a video with this! I tried it but Blink rarely felt like the best option

They made Leech a 4 drop for a reason, let's you block Hela and M.O.D.O.K. if they are in hand, only fails if they topdeck it.

I hit infinite last season with Patriot + Pixie and no Ultron. Mockingbird/Mysterio/Squirrel Girl/Kazar/Debri/Blue Marvel/Valkyie/Antman/Dazzler + I dunno whatever other cards. It's still getting me a lot of wins this season so far.

It started when I got Pixie and had it auto build me a deck and it put Patriot in there and I was surprised but then like what if....

Hmm, I love Pixie. Never thought of using her in Patriot.
