Weavile is a top 50 Poke for me.

Sneasler is potential bottom 200.

Yeah, these regional forms can be trash sometimes!

4/5 cap marvel is back baybee

Captain Marvel at 4/5 proved to be one of our strongest cards last year, but times have changed. The deck Captain Marvel most strongly supported has been substantially weaker in the new metagame, and at 4/4 Captain Marvel hasn't seen the level of play we'd like. Given we think the metagame can tolerate the stronger card once again, we're excited to try this buff and hope it can stick long-term for one of our most exciting cards and characters.

Discard decks have moved from the middle to the top of the metagame over the last month, fueled by some strong and exciting new releases. We want Discard to be a great deck, but it's been just a hair too strong. Apocalypse is the single best-performing card in the dedicated Discard archetype, so we're taking away a little bit of its base Power. We considered reducing the triggered buff ability instead, but when possible we prefer to push strength into the "dreams" of our cards, and Apocalypse has an exciting one to grow.

Thanos has become a bit of a problem for the metagame. When we adjusted Time Stone, we briefly mentioned that the design of Thanos can be constraining. Specifically, the versatility of the Stones give the deck a lot of room to maneuver and adapt to whatever the metagame becomes. In all cases however, the strongest Stone in the deck has consistently been the Mind Stone. We considered removing its second draw, but ultimately that's a very appealing part of the card. So for now, we're taking the unusual approach of making it a 2-Cost card. We don't think this is likely to fully solve the "Thanos problem," but hopefully it meaningfully addresses the archetype while we investigate a wider range of solutions.

We buffed Psylocke many months ago, and since then the card has enjoyed a range of interesting homes. In recent months, Psylocke's use has become restricted to almost exactly Thanos, where its performance is surprisingly among the strongest cards in the deck. Given we're looking for some ways to shave strength away from Thanos in the current metagame, that makes reverting Psylocke's buff a logical step, albeit a small one.

As previously discussed, we made the last change to Adam Warlock with an abundance of caution. Since then, we've seen it was a very minor improvement for a small number of decks, so we're going to push on a little bit more. We believe the design could go to 5/6 fairly easily, but one of the archetypes we're interested in here is Cerebro-5, which can be a difficult deck to serve. So we're trying the smaller buff to see how that goes. None of this is to say that we won't pursue other Costs or a more dramatic rework later, but for now we're going to try nudging things more softly.

Most of the Guardians of the Galaxy have struggled to keep pace with even the early Series metagames, as their risky abilities dont offer quite enough compared to alternatives. In addition to boosting their total Power potential, we're taking the opportunity to try lining their buffs up on the same Power gained, rather than having different combinations of Power for each card.

If we're allowed to trade noms, I will trade all the rest of mine for Dark Gathering if anyone is interested.

Any non-Thanos decks Mockingbird is good in? Cards need to be in play so I feel like Thanos is way better for her than Agents since those draw cards you have to then play to reduce her cost any

Argh they put the Ms Marvel variant I don't want back and removed the Ghost Spider one I did

Where does the Ghost Spider go

• Did you look away for a second when your opponent played Turn 1 Yondu?
• Dont you wish you could see what card was destroyed?
• Now you can!
• While in a match, tap your Player Avatar which can be found in the top left corner of the screen. A menu with your emotes will appear.
• At the bottom of that menu, tap on the word Destroyed or Discarded to see cards that have been Destroyed... Or, you guessed it, Discarded! This also works if you tap on your opponent's Player Avatar.
• Note that cards like Wolverine, Sabertooth, and Deadpool wont appear here - theyve been destroyed, but they are not destroyed. Healing factor, what are you going to do?

• As long as your opponent hasnt ended their turn, you can go back to the staging step.

• Custom Border allows you to combine your favorite owned variant art, any border rarity, and a finish/flare combo you own for that variant to make the most stylish card.
• Custom Border appears at the top of your Card Variant list. Add them to your deck and set them as your Favorite to add to future decks easily.
• Complete three total Infinity Splits to unlock the Custom Border feature. After that, any Card with at least 1 Infinity Split has the feature available.
• Stay tuned for more updates to this feature in the future!

Similar to our notes around Luke Cage last month, we've decided we took the wrong tactic with Elsa Bloodstone. Our rebalance to keep this effect local aimed to maintain Elsa's strength as a 2-Cost build-around, but the numbers necessary to make that work don't line up with our goals. So we're shifting Elsa up in Cost to 3/3 and widening the effect to all locations once again. We're also restoring the previous functionality, so that Elsa applies the Power buff before On Reveals resolve, rather than after. We've decided to accept that both versions have some potential to be confusing, but the original execution seems to have more clearly lined up with players' expectations and existing content than our revision. Elsa will once more be able to buff cards like Beast (and unable to buff Brood).

The general direction of Miek was on the right track, but our execution fell short. In particular, interactions with Invisible Woman, Dracula, and Black Cat crossed our bar for frustrating and non-intuitive for many players. Miek still gains just as much Power, counting cards discarded one at a time or in bulk, but that Power will now be added immediately. We've also removed the randomization from Miek's move, giving players the option to make a move during the following turn if any cards were discarded. Overall, it should be a sizable buff to the bug.

Our efforts to differentiate low-Cost card generation have mostly gone well, but Mantis and Cable both came up quite short. We've waited to adjust them further, because ultimately we felt Mantis simply needed a rework in order to find a functional home. This design shifts Mantis's thievery from the deck to copying cards at a location. That can be a lot more powerful if you time it right, because the copy will retain any buffsVenom in particular comes to mind as a very powerful card to copy! We'll keep an eye on the strength of this effect to ensure it finds the right balance point.

With Mantis changing to no longer copy from the deck, that creates room for Cable to move back down to 2-Cost, with a buff from his original 2/2 to boot.

Thanos has proven that combining the "toolbox" abilities of the Infinity Stones with a potent set of endgame cards consistently creates a powerful deck. After "Blob winter" we started looking more closely into exactly how the deck ticks and which parts of it are concerning. Time Stone really stood out as a warping presence in the deck with its ability to often capitalize on strong 5 and 6-Cost plays. We've decided to weaken that angle considerably in the interest of future-facing metagame diversity, so that Thanos isn't the default best way to ramp out those kinds of cards. This change is expected to do some damage to Thanos, but the last few seasons were very good for the Mad Titan so a little break isn't so bad. Once we see how this change affects Thanos decks, we'll look for the right spot to add back some of the strength we took away in previous balance patches. Perhaps Soul Stone took the heat for Time Stone too early?

M'Baku has always been more meme than dream, which is a fine position for some cards to maintainit's pretty fun to watch M'Baku do the thing. However, it's been clear for a while that M'Baku's strength was languishing. We decided to give the jump trigger the same targeting effect seen on Proxima Midnight, aiming for a location where you're more likely to need help. There will always be corner-cases with cards triggering in the endgame, such as Dracula and Captain Marvel, but we believe this is overall a positive. However, M'Baku may be found drinking at the Bar with No Name a bit more often.

Back in the old days, Yondu was a frequent player in Destroy decks thanks to this trigger helping to discount Death while powering up Knull and providing some information. However, recent competition has almost universally left Yondu on the outside looking in as players grow their collection to include stronger synergy elements. This small change aims to give Yondu some new potential to function with cards like Cable and others in the near future that aim to steal cards from your opponent's deck, improving the quality of cards stolen by destroying the "duds" ahead of time. Given the existing effect was already insufficient for Knull to notice, this potential outweighed that consideration.
