Board 8 > Marvel Snap Topic 17: The Time Variants Authority

(+) Yeah! (+)

Infinaut is actually pretty good when there's a Superflux in play. You have 2 chances to get it out.

Conquest is off to a great start this season. 3 of my first 4 games were all Shuri/Sauron decks...
Then one of my next games was against a move deck where 6 of the 7 rounds featured a move location... What in the hell is that luck?? But I did end up getting supremely lucky on the last round and winning overall. Ugh.

Man, GF's direct pics sure come out blurry... But still better than looking at imgur pics on mobile

Making real progress with a Mobius/Wave twist on the Alioth Lockdown deck

Even with subbing out Nebula for Nightcrawler to complete the mission lol

Yeah that deck really destroyed the last week of ladder for me.

I don't even remember using Wolfsbane... Lmaohttps://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/8/6/AADwiRAAE6Ou.jpg

Feel like my highest stats were based on playing Shuri Kitty for less than a week before Wave was put in every deck pre-Mobius

I got Chibi Red Skull variant in a Reserve today. I dont think Ive played him more than like 2 matches since I got him way back

I don't even remember using a Morph deck but it seems to think I played it a lot since 94% implies a rather large sample size

morph in ravonna week?

I don't think so I was running a Mr Negative deck with Renslayer that didn't play Morph. I in fact looked at every deck I own and none run morph. I have used him in the past but I don't think I deleted any decks with him lately.

I almost wonder if it's a glitch with District X. I imagine my win rate was super high when that appeared cause I ran Loki most of last season. But my District X win rate wasn't my lucky location.

HE with Alioth? God some people just suck all the fun right out of this game. Save that cancer for Ranked not Proving Grounds

I was really put off from playing conquest when they increased the price on all of the rewards but it's really not as daunting as I thought.

I already have enough tokens to buy enough rewards to get the Iron Man variant from winning a few silver conquests and maybe 1 or two gold conquests.

I like Conquest, but still dont like when people bring their sweaty ass Infinity rank meta decks to Proving Grounds. Theyre nearly as bad as the clowns who intentionally take every turn as slow as they can

I exclusively play Agatha on proving grounds and always snap turn 1. I also always forfeit if I lose a double snap game.

If my opponent does not forfeit on losing a double snap game I spam "I don't believe you" and take as much time as possible with every turn.

See even thats less evil than people who bring Alioth meta to Proving Grounds imo

I consider myself a force of good on the proving grounds tbh. I think if everyone had that etiquette (minus playing agatha that's just my way to minimize effort) it'd be a better place

Id run Agatha if she didnt hog the cubes just so all I had to do was hit end turn

They should just give you 1 or 2 free silver tickets every day. Skip proving grounds altogether.

Proving grounds is fine as pretty much the only game mode with no stakes. They just need to make it 8 cubes or best of 3 or something.

They just need to make it 8 cubes

Yeah

Arguably Silver should be 8 as well.

I just hate how proving grounds is a poor man's casual mode. Just make a no stakes actual casual mode already, ugh.

but why, the proving grounds is already a casual mode where you can also get free stuff

Because of shit like stated above. Infinite used it be the promised land of casualness until they ruined it with the ranking number. Also the 15 medals is practically nothing, so I don't treat it like an actual reward.

lol if the fake infinite rank bothers you I don't even know what to say

This deck's so much fun, play all the big-power cards with downsides and then play cards to overcome the downsides. Symmetrically turning off on-reveal and continuous effects is good for you and bad for the opponent.
The 6/15 you can only play on the left is gonna be awesome when I get it, sometimes you don't even have to sacrifice the right side to Sentry if you get Deathlok out.

Might replace the discard effects, they're too random unless I want to play them where Cosmo is. Ebony Maw might be too much but man it feels good to get a 1/7 out with no downsides. And sometimes 7 extra power on turn 3 is enough to win the zone. Or to induce your opponent to win the zone, so you can win the other 2 in the second half of the game.

Do you have Viper yet? Pairs well with Sentry, and you can also do Ebony Maw + Viper on turn 3 to lock them out of a location

I don't get why people think that's a good play. You're effectively playing a 3/-4 just to prevent them from playing there. Jeff, Doom, Klaw and more all trounce the play.

Much better to play your Maw and Lizard. 12 whole power on turn 3, and with your own Klaw it's 18 (replace Abom with him).

I gotta go back to that Maw/Klaw deck... most fun I had in this game.

If I'm not mistaken, Neato is still very early game.

My shop has been disappointing again lately. Seems like most of the top deck right now are running Alioth even without Galactus

Man-Thing is coming tonight. I'm thinking he could slot into a HE deck that focuses on lowering power to play cheap Abomination.

Otherwise I'm not sure how he feels at 4 energy. Seems like a tech card you want to play on 6 to kill a lane instead of something you drop on turn 4.

Will he be respected enough to see Luke Cage in every game for a few weeks?

Oh wait it looks like they release on reset on Tuesdays now? Says new card in 24 hours hmm.

Oh I figured it would have come out 30 minutes ago, not the other way around. But ok.

Yeah they moved everything FORWARD 16 hours, not back 8

Best Man-Thing combo Ive seen so far is to use Zabu to play him into a Goose lane

It feels weird that the weekend missions are still active.

Yeah this time change feels poorly implemented. The weekly missions still reset tonight but the new card doesn't drop until tomorrow.

season pass ghost rider is so sick

The weekly rewards track I meant.

Struggling pretty hard this season to find any deck that's working. I've held off on buying the season pass so far but Elsa seems too good right now.

Try whatever deck you've been having success with and dump Shadow King in the last spot. Counters the Elsa gimmicks pretty hard.

That assumes I've been having success with a deck lol.

But yeah the first deck I tried this month was a Cerebro 3 deck with Shadow King, Wave/Morbius, Valkyrie as a counter but it still wasn't doing great.

First cache was 1000 tokens and 2nd cache was Man-Thing!

Don't have Deathstryke but she's coming again at end of December so I'm okay with stopping here. Gotta make to have 4 during the Nico week to get her.

Got Man-Thing and Lady Deathstrike in my first two! Nice to get lucky for once.

i keep getting almost to level 70 and then losing lmao

i've been between 67 and 69 for this whole time im so mad

I gave up and made a scummy braindead Kazoo deck and dodged killmonger a couple times

it not scummy if it it works.

unless youre playing alioth

What is this cache thing you guys are talking about?

When you reach later collector levels you start getting caches that will be guaranteed in a set of 4 to have

1 new card
2 known predetermined S4/S5 cards (2 s5 if new card is s4, else 1 s4 1 s5)
1 random s4/s5 card

(example currently it is Man Thing as new s4, Lady Deathstrike and Silver Samurai as returning s5)

If the card is owned you get a special exclusive variant for it instead

But they only appear every 100 or so levels so you need to be frugal with them and time them for new releases you want. (If you use 4 on the same set you will get the new card guaranteed)

Ah got it.
