I do remember how much of a blowup this was, but even more than the game itself I remember how much shit Polygon got for how vehemently half their staff defended this game

Looks pretty sick

Ive been using my ramp Jubilee deck with Krakoa so I can usually get a 6-cost out on that turn. Like half the time it ends up playing my Hood though, might honestly switch that out

I've had Valkyrie pinned for a while and can afford her but been like "what am I actually going to use her for"

Cerebro3 I'm not sure I like how it plays. Maybe throw her in a deck that uses Thor I guess since the Mjolnir reveal can be used after her? I dunno.

There are a lot of ways to break symmetry with herOngoing effects, Angela or Bishop in the same lane, pair her on turn 6 with Titania or a Demon (or something better if there are other energy cheats happening). Demon is a great choice since Valkyrie can also mitigate the -2 from Hood. Or if you have Luke Cage on the board, any cards over 3 power on your side wont go down.

Kitty seems to be a bit bugged; her cost seemingly cant be changed by anything, positive or negative, and Collector works funny with her too.

once that stuff gets fixed she seems like she could probably replace Sunspot in most decks that arent running She-Hulk or Infinaut. Instead of getting 1 power from an unused energy, youre getting 2, plus you can get more location interactions, feed into Angela/Bishop, etc

I guess those High Evolutionary cards would also prefer Sunspot once that hits

Yeah that's never something that has been said

Been pretty unlucky with the Steampunk stuff, gotten mostly avatars and titles out of my cosmetic caches and just two variants, only one of which was actually Steampunk (Shocker)

The new DOOMs don't necessarily give you new guns but they reward exploration with different abilities/mods for the guns, some of which may as well be new guns because of their differences from the normal

upgrading armor requires monster parts is what I figured was meant

thank god all the whiny babies who can't handle weapon breaking should have their solution with the fusing power

It never got played, so I suppose that tracks. I bet the same happens if Aero moves the card after Shuri to Fisk Tower before it flips

I can't remember if the clone from Sinister London will reveal as real or fake at the end, but I know that it doesn't spawn a second full set of illusions. Also worth knowing about Mysterio is that if you play Bast while it is in hand, both the real and the illusions become 3 power.

The way they were constantly nerfing anything fun was a bad choice

Mega Man 5 is better than 3. 6 comes close

place bets now whether the footage ends with a delay announcement

Thats for a bundle coming up, I think its 7000 gold so better hope youve been saving up

I mostly just play on my commute to/from work and then maybe once or twice a week I'll play another half hour or hour here and there.

Yep, the way Luke Cage works is both retroactive and proactive, and any modifiers that would reduce energy are still kept track of in case Luke Cage is destroyed or his effect erased.

They were gonna lose, so you gave them a net 3 cube profit

The snapping isn't really like poker, but this particular part is

I wont say that bluffs dont happen, but this is very rarely the case. Those late snaps are so often somebody who has already achieved their win and doesnt know how to snap

I keep fucking forgetting that if the opponents telegraphed Galactus is played somewhere other than my Limbo, the game is going to end on turn 6

anyway I lost like fifteen games straight tonight, minus one bot match in the middle somewhere

People are so bad at knowing when to snap. You should've snapped before you played Leech/Sandman/Shang-Chi/whatever, not the turn after

I cant remember if two Avengers Compounds means you can play to both of them, or only the rightmost one since locations act from left to right (with the exception of starlight citadel which always acts first before Hala or Asgard for some reason)

Yeah, same thing happens if Jubilee pulls Absorbing Man/Mystique/Taskmaster, they check the card before Jubilee. It seems that a card is not counted as "played" until all the effects of its On Reveal resolve (which includes other cards summoned or activated)

I've also seen a Shanna summon Iron Fist which then punched the Shanna over after all the summoned cards did their stuff, because Shanna then became the next card played

they don't reveal The Last Ronin's identity "at the end," it was literally in the first issue of the series

before the token shop change, if you're not series 3 complete you generally got about 1000 collectors tokens a month, enough for one series 3 card, so the rate of getting series 3 cards is basically unchanged. This change arguably makes bundles less attractive to purchase for a player like you though

The developers have repeatedly said they don't do anything like that, and I don't really see any benefit for them from lying about that

I'm more convinced than ever that the game seeds cards that interact with each other.

I've seen Valkyrie 3 times in the last 5 games when I started using this Nimrod/Knull/Destroyer deck I threw together

That is more than I've seen her in the entire life of the game combined.

Due to the changes to Aero and Taskmaster, Shuri decks aren't hiding Red Skull behind Cosmo as much anymore (they can play around Aero and need to Armor the Red Skull so Taskmaster can copy it), so Valkyrie becomes a viable option to counter it again.

why not Master System for the ones that were on there? Like, half the point of Sonic Origins was to have 16:9 versions of the 4:3 Mega Drive games, now we're putting in cropped versions that are less than 4:3 of games that have 4:3 versions

So that is the same character Ahmed Best played as the host of that Star Wars game show Jedi Temple Challenge

which means that canonically every child who appeared on that show is now dead in the Star Wars universe

yeah the whole Hello Kitty is a human thing was a wild misinterpretation of a statement that said she is not a cat

Couldnt even throw away the widows bites in Bar With No Name, haha

got my own Darkhawk finally. Next card in my sights is Bast then Ill probably start saving tokens for Galactus or some other new series 5 card I want

that is an actually decent version of SF4 for just messing around in, someone should definitely grab that

Theres very little it can do that Valkyrie doesnt do better

Teenage Warhead should help a bit against Shuri decks since Cosmo cant block her ability. Of course now that Aero is more easily avoidable, they are more likely to protect the big card with Armor instead. But that leaves Valkyrie as an option again too.

There was but it appears to have been scrapped. It was 4/8 Ongoing: -2 Power for each other card you have here.

Hawk is On Reveal: Ignore all location abilities next turn.

Bear is On Reveal: Trigger the effect of this location.

Is Snowguard even more pointless for variants than Morph? At least with Morph you can see it in your hand!

i want a card that causes location effects to reactivate

Cant remember off the top of my head but Im pretty sure there is a datamined card with this effect

Had Quantum Tunnel in the same game as Asteroid M

Play a 3-cost card on the Tunnel, Asteroid M pulls it away, THEN it STILL does the Lockjaw effect now that its on the Asteroid

Is that normal for when you play Magneto or Aero and pull someones Lockjaw token?

I know that a Green Goblin played after Lockjaw will jump to the opponents side but then go back in the deck and the card Lockjaw pulls will be back on your side. Did the new card stay at Asteroid M?

Master Mold wouldve been a great counter to Dracula if Modok didnt exist

Speaking of discard I was playing my Agatha Discard while folding laundry and got this early retreat. Agatha died to Danger Room so I was ready to retreat but then this happened.

At least two of those games I chose not to play Leech on 5 which would have won me the game!

Did a streamer post some Sera Hazmat Luke Cage deck today or something, Ive seen it like four times in the past hour

If you have Cosmo down you dont need to stack a lane with 4 cards, Aero already wont work there so you just play the big card there and then Task a different lane

but also you can tell what card it was if it's the only card of the highest cost in your hand, like destroyer was in that case

I have never seen the appeal of this character, but Namco loves pushing him for some reason.

just had a game where we both snapped early, they played 32 power black panther on turn 5, I had priority and Shang Chi and played it on the Black Panther on 6, they played Kang and saw my turn, and then they stayed in and played Zola to the Black Panther location, knowing that it wouldn't work?? Guess they just didn't want those eight cubes.

they changed Nebula, she used to be 1/1 On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, return Nebula to your hand with 2x power

this new one is way better I think

huh, I did not know that using Bast on Mysterio makes the Illusions also become 3 power. I suppose they'd have to, otherwise the real one becomes obvious. Though actually, they could just make it only reveal at 3 power at the end instead of 4 and still all show 0 during the initial play. Maybe something about the way Mysterio is coded makes that hard to do.

Played Nimrod on Altar of Death Turn 5, with destroyer and carnage in hand.

Snap.

Their card flips first, Scarlet Witch turns it to Wakanda.

The odds of that are basically astronomical, I feel like there HAS to be some sort of invisible weighting system

If it was a bot, I think their simulations before they choose their play can see what Scarlet Witch will change and would know that this would be the best play. Otherwise, your deck and snap probably signaled that you were playing Nimrod and changing the altar would be the best move. Wakanda is one of the common locations so it is weighted to appear more often than most, the odds of it happening this way arent as lowas you think.

The best Britney songs are better than the best Taylor songs, but I think the overall quality level is higher for Taylor. She needs to ditch Jack Antonoff though
