The cutscene names for the story DLC was datamined out of the recent patch. Not really anything too spoilery but maybe some hints of where the DLC is going.

Not going to post it here but be careful if you're trying to avoid spoilers.

Looking on reddit it was apparently a bug fix or quiet nerf because you definitely used to be able to discard him twice with Hellcow.

Well the other way to fix Galactus is to make his effect not actually Destroy cards so he doesn't have any synergy with Death or Knull. Make him "eat" cards or something, IDK.

You'd still get the rare Wave -> Galactus -> Spider-Man plays but I think that's not a huge deal.

Yeah I have a feeling when they designed Galactus they didn't consider that he would be played on anything other than Turn 6.

The original Silver Surfer card that was datamined was "On Reveal: double the power of your 6 cost cards, wherever they are".

So, you know, actual synergy with Galactus. There was probably a whole idea around buffing Galctus in your hand/deck and then dropping a big 6/12 or 6/15 that destroyed the other lanes and won a lane. Kinda like C'thun in Hearthstone.

And honestly that sounds pretty cool but whatever it turned into with Wave sucks.

Yeah I mean honestly the problem is mana cheat, not really Galactus. Wave is probably the real problem.

I mean he's not a big deal for newer players because he costs 6000 tokens and Knull costs 6000 tokens (soon to be 3000).

Once he starts becoming more common in 3-6 months we'll see how everyone is feeling.

I could see Galactus just eating 1 location randomly or something as a redesign. I agree it's a cool power but it's just not working in this game right now.

Maybe add "This card always reveals last" to his On Reveal so that you can consistently counter him? That would probably kill him dead though.

I mean I will say that Galactus is always fairly obvious when they Play Electro and Hood or something but it doesn't mean I can do anything to stop it or counterplay. There's just no strategy or counterplay to Galactus in his current state.

Did I counter Galactus?

No - I lose
Yes - I win

No other card can single handedly win the game on turn 4.

Knull becoming more common means more Galactus/Knull and that's bad.

I think the only reason that deck isn't seeing Leader levels of outcry for nerfs is that it's not very common. Wave into Galactus on turn 4 or even Galactus on turn 5 is basically an auto win for the Galactus player.

Sure it's pretty easy to counter if you have the cards in your deck but the issue is that the counter cards are not good counters to other decks. Like yeah I can counter a bunch of deck styles with Shang-Chi but putting Debrii and Goblin into every deck just to counter Galactus feels bad.

It's easy to just say we should nerf everything though so there's also got to be a line somewhere. Is Galactus worth a complete redesign though? Maybe

The rate that they're dropping cards seems to be pretty okay.

Deadpool was literally the last card I unlocked in Pool 3 so it was around CL3000 for me lol.

Those bundles are great but I do also love spending gold on cool variants. Kinda wish I had some saved up for these two bundles in the shop now.

It's really going to be a bummer if these purchasable variants never show up in the game again.

Based on what we've seen Ever Crisis looks more like a FF7 gacha so probably not.

I saw it once when 3 Odins triggered on Bar Sinister.

It wasn't even an option it just said "fast fowarding..." in the bottom right corner then it skipped to the end results. Also couldn't emote or do anything after the fast forward, just collect rewards.

I think about Vision in any deck with Jubilee/Lockjaw too since you can pull him early and move him out of unfavorable lanes.

Also no 5 drops to pair with She-Hulk? Juggernaut is a good play with She-Hulk but Aero would guarantee you some wins if you have her.

You can't She-Hulk and Infinaut on turn 6 because She-Hulk will still cost 1 if you skip turn 5.

But you could still She-Hulk + Taskmaster if you skip turn 5 (and Shuri on turn 4 so they both give 20 power looool)

I've got some bad news about series 3

Just pulled Orka for my latest series 4 card. Maybe the one I wanted least out of the ones I'm missing except maybe Maria Hill.

Maybe Orka and Namor should be flipped in their design

Instead of 6/9 +5 if there are no cards here it should be 6/14 -5 if there's another card here

At least then I'd be able to silence him.

Like with the XCOM games though I'm waiting for a bundle of all content to come out a year from now before I buy it

Me too. Venom is one of my favorite Marvel characters and I don't replay games so there's no point playing it now until all of the DLC is out that adds more characters: Deadpool, Venom, Storm, and Morbius.

Yeah I love FF7 and I thought the ending was great. But it might also depend on how they stick the landing in future games.

But trying to not talk about it too much since Rock hasn't actually beaten the game yet.

One of the only games where I immediately started a Hard playthrough after I beat the first playthrough.

Double check your power saver settings to see if your wireless card is being turned off to save power. Even with wired that shit caused my online games to lag out every 30 seconds.

Also could try a dns flush, I mean there's no harm doing that.

Aero is the best card currently and sets up lots of situations where it's basically impossible to lose in Death wave.

Pet peeve of this game is playing against someone who already has this month's infinite card back and I'm currently rank 50.

Yeah I know I'm CL5000 but why am I playing against infinite players when I'm 50 ranks below them?

There's internal MMR separate from your rank but why even have rank if we're dropping 50 levels here?

Also infinite players can't drop out so they're free to snap as much as they want without any risk. It completely devalues a major aspect of the game.

Yeah I use Cage+Hazmat in my Cerebro2 deck. At the end of the game it can be a 12+ power swing with Hazmat if you don't have priority.

Not to be a downer but I tried to make that deck work for a long time and it never did. Sometimes I'd hit the full combo and still lose lol.

Decks that require so much precise setup are just too hard to make work in this game. If you need an exact curve on turns 2-6 then you're basically never going to hit the combo. And the 1/20 times you hit the combo your opponent just needs a Cosmo to shut it all down.

Yeah I'm sure that's part of the combo too

There is a guy I keep running into on ladder named Wizkid and I swear he's been playing the same deck for months.

He plays Magik on turn 5, skips turn 6, then plays Infinaut and She-Hulk on turn 7.

How do you not get bored of that stupid combo I don't understand.

IW is secretly great in Dino decks because they can't Enchantress/Rogue your Dino and they can't Shang-Chi it either.

Wow yeah that's super lucky, congrats.

There's actually a deck going around right now that uses Heimdall in a non-move deck.

https://i.redd.it/tk99ofhwceha1.jpg

Pull everything into the right lane with Doc on turn 5 and then Heimdall turn 6 to win the left two lanes.

There's also a ramp version that uses Electro but I'm trying this one now.

Morph

Even highrolls with Morph are rarely good unless it's just a stat stick card. People play combos and decks with synergy so Morph has never made sense to me. In fact I don't think I've ever played Morph one time in the last 8 months with this game lol.

Back in the beta Killmonger was a series 3 card looool

Imagine not unlocking Killmonger until CL3000 for some people. They dropped him down to series 2 because people complained enough.

Yeah just need to hold on until you get Killmonger then that deck is bad for a while.

Not sure if you've seen that card yet but it's a 3/3 that kills all of the 1 drops on the board.

Or just Cosmo the Invisible Woman lane.

But that combo existed before MODOK. You'd just use Hell Cow and another discard but MODOK let's you discard more stuff.

And yeah Shadow King seems DOA in his current state. He needs to cost 1 or 2 with that effect, I don't understand why he's a 4/3.

Shang Chi is a staple

I wish someone would staple his card to a trash can and throw him away.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the best way to get cubes in this game is to just throw Shang-Chi into random decks where he doesn't belong. I've lost to so many random Shang-Chi plays on turn 6 I've lost count.

Building a Kazar Zoo deck? Put in Shang-Chi

Move deck? Shang-Chi

Cerebro 2 deck? I don't care, put in Shang-Chi

Yeah I've never tried it myself but it's just a port of the mobile version currently I believe. So it might be a little weird compared to a real PC version.

But a real PC version with widescreen support and stuff is coming later this year I believe.

There are 3rd party deck trackers that should show W/L but I think they only work for the windows version:

https://marvelsnapzone.com/tracker/

Yeah if you ever see a situation where Mystique copies Wong just get out lol. It could have also been Gambit which destroys your whole board.

Just change it to double the next card you play in her lane. Now it's super easy to know where they're going to play their big card next turn.

Knowledge of where your opponent is going to play next turn is a downside they need to utilize more in this game. Hawkeye, Jessica Jones, Rescue are some examples.

And so it's not actually a buff you could phrase it like this

On Reveal: If the next card you play is played in this lane, double it's power

That way if you play a card in a different lane it wastes the buff.

Also eliminates Arnim Zola synergy because the lane will always have Shuri + the buffed card.

Something I've seen more lately is Shuri on 4, skip turn 5, 18 power She-Hulk + Taskmaster on turn 6.

Seems pretty hard to counter because even with Cosmo it's a 50/50 which lane they're going to play Taskmaster. Shang-Chi not going to work because if they skipped turn 5 they're going to reveal 2nd on turn 6 most likely.

Game beated, 35 hours

I did not enjoy Three Houses and I did not enjoy this game.

Probably will not ever play another Fire Emblem game, lesson learned!

I don't think you realize how bad your day of Marvel Snap is going until you win a game and see the mission pop to say you've won 4 games today.

I've been playing for like 2 hours!

Considering the teaser art is all 3 of the main blades together, I had always assumed it would be an epilogue with all of the protagonists.

Yeah buying missions gets you same amount of credits per gold but you also get season pass XP for doing missions. But it's a minuscule amount of season pass XP. You'll get 150 season pass XP for doing those 2 extra missions and level ups cost 1000 XP. So for every 8 refreshes you'll get 1 level on the season pass compared to just buying credits with gold.

I just avoided the hassle of doing more missions and bought credits with gold when I was working through getting all of the cards.

Cards are in pools (or series as the game calls them). You'll get all of the pool 1 cards before pool 2 then pool 3 but the unlock order will be random in the pools.

Fast upgrade deals are not worth it because you're paying extra credits for boosters which are free and easy to obtain. So yeah avoid those.

Upgrading cards is always the same cost to upgrade ratio minus the first upgrade from common to uncommon for 25 credits. So prioritize those early but it really doesn't matter in the long run.

For gold you can save it up for fun variants in the shop or spend it on credits if you want to get cards faster.

Yeah they'll also snap if they're winning on turn 3 and actively stay in games where they have 0 chance of winning on turn 6. So it's a nice way to farm cubes because they're so stupid!

Yeah you might be facing some bots in those early levels too.

If they have a normalish name like Layla or Mike and their avatar is a Shield Agent, America Chavez, or a few others then it's probably a bot.
