OTA Update

Loki
[Old] 4/5 - On Reveal: Transform your hand into cards from your opponents starting deck and give them -1 Cost.
[New] 3/5 - On Reveal: Replace your deck with your opponent's starting deck. Give those cards -1 Cost and draw a card.

It took a few shots to land Loki in the right spot, but the goal had been accomplished. However, as time has passed, our preference for using Loki as a buildaround for decks that generate extra cards has shifted. It's proven too stifling to cards like Snowguard and Agent Coulson, who can't really stand on their own anywhere, as well as future designs we've worked on internally. Given Loki's recent resurgence alongside Arishem, it felt like the right time to try capturing that fantasy without diminishing those other cards. We don't want to "banish Loki from Asgard" with this change, so we're erring stronger to avoid that. If we need to come back for a buff or nerf, or if this rework doesn't succeed for other reasons, we'll consider something else.

Leech
[Old] 5/5 - On Reveal: Remove the text from cards with On Reveal abilities in your opponents hand.
[New] 4/4 - On Reveal: Remove the text from 6-Cost cards in your opponents hand.

This has been a tricky card for us to land where we want it. The last change proved we had enough overlap from other effects to avoid leaning on Leech as an all-purpose answer. However, the function has primarily been a tool for letting decks brute force their strongest stuff through defenses, rather than answering otherwise overpowering strategies. We're going to try narrowing it further and targeting a more specific scope of threats. We're also going to aim weak, in case we're underestimating the effect, to give most honest folk a break from getting Leeched.

Doctor Octopus
[Old] 5/10 - On Reveal: Pull 4 cards from your opponents hand to their side of this location.
[New] 4/8 - On Reveal: Pull the lowest-Power card from your opponents hand to their side of this location.

The good Doctor had settled into a career as a niche player in the SNAP metagame for quite a while, until Arishem showed up. While Arishem is enabling more aggressive Ock plays, the true lesson has been that when Ock is seeing a lot of play . . . that can get fairly frustrating. Given we find ourselves in a spot where we have a card we kind of don't want people playing in volume, that makes it a solid candidate for a rework. Our goal here isn't specifically a nerf, but rather to continue capturing the fantasy of the card with an implementation that's more fun and will be a healthier addition to the metagame. Plus, 4/8 is a pretty great statline for creative reasons.

Widow's Kiss (White Widow)
[Old] 0/0 - Ongoing: This has -4 Power. Disable this ability if your side of this location is full.
[New] 0/0 - Ongoing: This has -3 Power. Disable this ability if your side of this location is full.

Enough time has passed for White Widow to see the breadth of the card's impact, and it's showing up more often than we aimed for, and in a wider variety of decks. The strength doesn't feel especially far off, so this small tweak down on the effect should help balance things out.

Blob
[Old] 6/0 - On Reveal: Merge cards from your deck into this until it gains 15 or more Power.
[New] 6/0 - On Reveal: Merge cards from your deck into this until it gains 13 or more Power.

One of the winningest cards in Arishem decks has continued to be Blob. The specifics of that gameplay aren't very satisfying, because Blob tends to wind up fairly close to a 6/17 or better without a drawback in these decks. Our goal with Blob is to encourage some meaningful deckbuilding differences or charge a steeper price for the strength, so that's not working out. Turning the knob down will weaken Blob in Arishem while leaving some strength to build around in 12-card decks.

War Machine
[Old] 4/6 - On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, nothing can stop you from playing cards anywhere.
[Change] 4/6 -> 4/7

War Machine hasn't found a consistent home, indicating there's room to add extra Power. A larger contributor to the low play rate may be our revision to Professor X leaving players without enough incentive to find a slot for War Machine, but either way this buff carries fairly little risk.

Apocalypse
[Old] 6/6 - When you discard this, put it back with +4 Power.
[Change] 6/6 -> 6/8

We took some Power away from Apocalypse a while ago, when Discard had reached perhaps the peak of its all-time strength. Since then the metagame has continued to evolve, and Discard has slid backwards. This won't fully reverse the trend, but it's a solid step and we'd like to monitor the results before making additional updates.

Well there's about to be an OTA tomorrow but basically some form of Arishem deck or something like this which counters Arishem are probably the best two decks

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4496cb24.jpg

that being said I think there's plenty of viable decks. Just some get screwed pretty hard by Arishems playing Leech and Doc Oc. I assume Thena and something in Arishem at the least is getting hit by the balance patch tomorrow, though

Oh the bounties refresh right at this time on this day

Maybe hold the alliance stuff until after the reset then!

Arishem also now applies his border to all the cards he generates

I believe it's gonna be the same Nico spotlight variant that released when she first came out, unless that was just a placeholder that got changed this patch. Guess we'll see in 3 hours

Proxima, Hope, and Nico last time I checked. No new card

[B8A] Board 8

I can change the tag (and everything else) later if anyone has better ideas. I think you just have to search for that? I'll make it a public alliance once we have all the regulars

Patch Just Released

Alliances are now in the game, someone will have to make a B8 one!

First league starting August 8th (I think this is the super p2w crap so who cares)

BALANCE UPDATES

Uatu
[Old] 1/2 - At the start of the game, shows the right location to you.
[New] 1/2 - At the start of the game, shows unrevealed locations to you.

We were reluctant to limit Uatu's vision when we first changed the effect to work from the deck, but it felt needlessly risky to remove a lot of the tension and mystery from locations for players earning Uatu early on. However, we've grown comfortable with the idea and hope fans enjoy Watching the whole field on turn 1 in the future.

Moon Knight
[Old] 3/3 - On Reveal: Discard a card from each players hand.
[New] 3/3 - On Reveal: Discard a card with an even Cost from each player's hand.

Moon Knight's a great character, but has struggled to find a good home even when discard is popular. We've kept "improve Moon Knight" on the whiteboard for a while, and today we're crossing that off. We did debate redesigning the card, but we've also heard your feedback when we do that in a way that fundamentally changes the card for fans it already has, as we did with Adam Warlock. This tweak aims to make the card a more suitable pairing with Stature, one of the most popular ways to play Moon Knight already, as well as Swarm and Apocalypse. It may also make Moon Knight a useful threat against decks that rely on single 6-Cost threats, like Red Hulk.

Shadow King
No text change; setting no longer considered raising or lowering Power.

The interaction of Luke Cage stopping Shadow King and various other corner cases which result in Shadow King adding negative or positive modifier have proven confusing for players. Weve decided to adjust Shadow King because this effect specifically feels like it should be cleansing modifiers, not adding more to counterbalance whats already there. Were keeping this distinct from Valkyrie because that effect does specifically add a modifier to other cards, and feels like fair game for Luke Cage to prevent it

Blink
[Old] 5/7 - On Reveal: Swap the last card you played with a higher-Cost card from your deck.
[New] 5/7 - On Reveal: Swap the last card you played with a card that costs more from your deck.

We've made two changes to Blink. The first is functional: we've adjusted the ability to check the cards in your deck based on what they currently cost, not their original Cost. This means that she'll see cards the same way that Jane Foster sees them. It's not an inconsistency that came up much in gameplay, but it didn't make sense that Jane and Blink could both grab a Negative Iron Man that's a 0/5. However, like all cards already do, Blink will still care about the original Cost of the card in play to determine the one from the deck.
