Will I ever remember that a guy who skipped turn 5 is going to play She-Hulk on turn 6?

Or even worse a guy who skipped turn 6 is going to play She-Hulk + Shang-Chi + Sunspot + Titania on turn 7.

Answer: No, I will never remember

Yeah the OP thing is winning 2 lanes on turn 5 and pulling all of their cards into a 3rd lane you're losing.

Nope it's random.

I already played 1 Aero on Cloning labs. What did this guy think I was going to play on turn 6?

He played She Hulk and Zero on turn 6 btw.

What do you guys think of my new deck, looking for advice.

I seriously doubt that was the planned announcement so yes it was an accidental leak.

The story in the last game was pretty weak but kinda redeemed or interesting by the end with basically the entire univser getting rebooted with Liu Kang as a Fire God instead of Raiden as Lightning God

I think you just gotta try making a separate Lockjaw deck instead of trying to fit everything into your Jubilee deck lol

Pulled Darkhawk today! I wonder if this deck can still work after the Zabu nerfs, you don't really see it anymore.

Oh man I thought you were talking about a different cutscene that's WAY worse but it's coming up later.

Yeah it looks great but 10 minutes with the Standing mode on the Horizon game has made me sick for about an hour now.

Might have to go seated on this one

Also I got the VR face sweats so fast but IDK how you fix that problem.

I see one Cache left before they swap to Reserves. I dunno what that means since Im definitely not done with Pool 3 in 1 card

Reserves mean cards stop being guaranteed. You'll get 1 in 4 on average now, I think, and other stuff will be credits, gold, variants, etc.

That's true I suppose. Opportunities to play Aero + a 1/7 on turn 6 means we'll probably see that combo.

Yeah it's fun synergy with Moon Knight but energy is already pretty tight in discard decks. Sometimes you don't even play any discards until turn 5. This card can only be played after Moon Knight in most situations so it's basically just a dead card a lot of the time.

They added an animation at the beginning of the game that shows all 6 stones going into your deck 1 at a time with Thanos.

That was really not necessary.

Yeah Electro into Sandman is going to be pretty bad for a while. Sure you could do that before but now you're not really skipping the Sandman turn. 5 power isn't great but it's a lot better than 1 power.

Played against my first Galactus just now, they got to play Death and a 51 power Knull on turn 6.

lol yeah probably best to just leave before turn 6 against Galactus. Unless they have priority somehow and you have Shang-Chi you're probably cooked.

This Sandman buff feels like it's going to be really annoying. I get that turn 6 combos are too powerful but the meta being "play 1 card a turn" just sounds so boring.

Also Absorbing man fixed in the bugs to work with Wong and Kamar-Taj

Nope, those cards don't count as played for cards like Bishop either. On Reveals still trigger obviously

who would win

eternal planet eating space god vs dog

Both of those new EZAs are cuckoo. There's a video on Reddit of the Vegito doing 5 super attacks and they're all 12 million+ damage.

Completely 1 shot the final phase of Red Zone Broly.

It's mostly to try to get all of your good cards out of your hand on turn 4 (with Electro ramp) and get more triggers for Death/Knull.

So they can Galactus on turn 5 and now their Death is probably cheap/free and their Knull will have like 40 power.

Yeah they're all 1 cost and 0 cost with Quinjet because they didn't start in your deck.

So on turn 4 or 5 I could play 3 stones for 0 mana into Lockjaw while also discounting my She-Hulk for the next turn and buffing Sunspot.

It's a little silly, yeah.

Yeah I got lucky I played the Space stone that turn so I could move Sunspot over there. Those stones really come in handy sometimes, even when I don't draw Lockjaw or Quinjet.

Yeah even Sunspot into an Ebony Maw lane is okay because it's still a threatening lane.

Yeah Sunspot can basically carry the early game if you draw all of your expensive cards and you have to skip a few turns.

ggs though

Sorry if I was taking a while on some turns, I'm working right now too lol

Yeah you had that first game until you played Aero into the Cosmo lane haha.

This deck is an Electro deck and I never even drew Electro.

Crap I picked the wrong deck.

I've seen it a few times with my own Thanos deck and it's cool because he shows at 18 power in your hand if the power stone is on the board and it's activated.

But even when he's been activated in my hand playing other cards on turn 6 like Aero or Magneto have been a better play.

Okay I officially just had the worst game ever.

It was the final turn and the only lane left was Altar of Death. I was winning 1 lane and opponent was winning 1 lane and Altar of Death. He started spamming emotes (he was spamming all game) because he figured he'd won.

I played Storm and Jubilee into Altar which pulled Odin so I was winning that lane now. I started spamming emotes back at him because he was an annoying boner all game.

Then Jubilee 2nd trigger from Odin pulls Arnim Zola who kills my Odin and I lose that lane and lose the game. It was 8 cubes too

Guy plays the Hood on 3rd location before it reveals

Me: Damn that's kinda risky with Space Throne being featured right now

Turn 3 he plays Viper to give me Hood and Space Throne reveals

you sunnuva

Also I know most of you weren't around in the beta but foolmo's post about variants being profitable reminds me of the original monetization for this game.

Originally they had this awful gacha system where 100 gold opened a lootbox that had 1/40 odds to be the hot new card (it was Jane Foster in the beta) or 1/40 odds to be a special variant (Destroyer variant). The rest of the box odds were avatars, credits, boosters, and that junk.

You were guaranteed to get the card and the variant after opening a certain number of boxes but the math came out to like $400 to be guaranteed to get both. And they were planning on doing 1 or 2 a month of those gacha drops.

There was such an outcry they dropped it completely and switched to these variant bundles instead.

So yeah the game was almost DOA in the beta with that monetization.

Originally they said that pixel variants were only available through random boxes and not going to be in the shop. Then they changed their mind I guess.

They should have a booster shop or something where pixel cards cost 50-100 boosters. Then we could just ignore them.

Hit rank 60 yesterday and was rewarded with this horrifying pixel variant. Why are they so bad

Space Throne sucks I've just been using Reality Stone on it to change it to something else.

I've thought about similar cards but figured it would be hard to implement because what if you play a card there and your opponent fills the lane at the same time?

Your solution makes sense to solve that problem but I doubt they want to add too many cards that cause that Daredevil style effect.

But it would be fun playing Doc Oc on your opponent's side and pulling all of your giant cards of your hand.

So Viper does not negate Electro restricting you.

Something else must have been on the board because giving Electro to your opponent definitely gets rid of the negative for yourself and gives it to your opponent. But you still get the extra energy each turn since that was an on reveal.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of using zero on ebony maw either but gotta have more than 1 zero target in that deck I think.

FWIW here is my Zero deck but it's honestly more of a Shuri deck.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/5/3/AAHnsGAAEMpB.jpg

Being able to enchantress your lizard/typhoid lane is just as good as Zero.

If you don't have priority with Zola you risk getting Shang chi'd or aero'd yourself though.

I think you just need 2 win conditions in a deck to be more consistent.

My advice is drop psylocke, electro, hulkbuster, and omega red.

The energy ramp stuff is awkward in that archetype. I get you're trying to play red skull, copy him with taskmaster, then arnim Zola but it's overkill honestly.

This deck should be all about trying to get priority on turn 6 so you can either Zola or aero. Red skull is probably winning a lane by himself on turn 5 so lizard and other good stat cards can win your other lane.

Your Zero is really only hitting Red Skull right now. Maybe add some more targets like Typhoid Mary, Lizard (not the best but a good Enchantress target too), Ebony Maw, maybe Maximus.

Zero + Ebony Maw is 10 power on turn 2 in a lane

Also I can't stress how broken Aero is if you have her. She should probably be in any deck where you could feasibly be winning on turn 5.

And Storm can be good to shut down a lane early then Zola your Skull into it later.

Yeah Killmonger is basically stifling an entire archetype by himself, he's not fine.

i've been saying this !

Honestly if it starts becoming more popular I think Elektra might start seeing some play. I'm kinda surprised she doesn't see more play now considering how many decks run Sunspot but if Quinjet becomes meta it's a pretty easy counter.

I really hope they just dump some of those cards straight into pool 3. I mean imagine getting your 1/400 series 5 random drop and it's Flatman or Bullseye. The effects are just so vanilla it seems weird putting them into series 5 first.

I'm really hoping that eventually they have a big series 3 card dump like 20 new cards straight into pool 3. Maybe they do it once a year as a pseudo expansion.

I've been playing Lockjaw Thanos for a day and yeah maybe this deck is too much lol.

Quinjet on 1
Mind stone on 2 (draw 2 stones from your deck)

Lockjaw and 3 stones on turn 3 pulled Leech, Devil Dino, and Blue Marvel.

And with the space stone you can move one of those over and play another stone there next turn.

4 games in a row of this scenario from opponents

Turn 4 Shuri
Skip Turn 5
Me leaving on turn 6

Maybe this 20 power she hulk + taskmaster thing needs some changes.

I think when the game is slow and not releasing any content I feel more inclined to spend stones just so that there's something to do. Maybe that's their secret strategy

Why did I spend 100 stones trying to get this LR STR SSJ Goku. There are so many LR SSJ Goku cards in this game why did I do it.

As someone who's about 500 tokens away from getting Thanos...

woah woah woah let's slow down there on nerfs (until I can abuse Thanos for a few months too)
