Solid win

How did the dracula's get so high?

Apocalypse was discarded by every card the opponent played

Sorry I think one (probably sword master) missed

I mean, that's the assumption, but that's some crazy luck. I think the most I've ever managed to discard him is 3 times?

Well the only luck based discard on the board point is Sword Master. Even the draculas were after double Modok so as long as they didnt have swarms they were guaranteed too

Do you hate color? Genuine question

I just think the black and white with infinite border looks the best.

Still a lot of luck involved in getting the correct draws and such.

So similar to Valentines Day some cards get bonuses, but now its Avengers and X-Men ones. Locations with 3 Avengers get +3 power and once you play 4 X-Men get +1 power. Not really sure how many decks with synergy you could get playing the two though. Avengers has some Ongoing at least, but some X-Men do nothing with each other

XMen have some high evo synergy.

It also affects all your XMen everywhere.

Here's my first draft, can also use Rogue, MMM, Jeff, and/or Storm

Oh, I just meant stuff like how X-23 and Wolverine are X-Men, but theres no X-Men to destroy them to do anything with their abilities

Cyclops has synergy with Jean. Kitty has synergy with Hope. Beast has synergy with Iceman/Bishop, etc.

Oh hell yeah thanks

chibi misty

I got Civil War Zola

I swear to god with these HE shehulk infinaut decks on conquest

Oof I got pixel Super Skrull from my mystery variant

I got some generic Star-Lord variant

I got weirdly smug Squirrel Girl

i got pixel sera and man, this has got to be one of the worst pixels i've seen yet

Hit CL 9000 today. Also got this pretty nice split

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/f/f330b257.jpg

That's an awesome split. Kinda think it'd be best keeping the Grey border

Yeah, Im pretty happy with it how it is.

Hit two keys and decided to risk it. Got Mocking Bird in one. Then two splits both went inked, so that's cool. Also hit about 1k in credits from my cl so that was nice too.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/6/6085efc4.jpg

I was so close to the god split. But I got Inked instead of Gold :((

I think I'd like an ink that just does the background, while keeping the character in color.

That could be cool

When Black Vortex gives the enemy Ultron so you think you get an easy win, but Black Vortex gives you Leader the same turn and you end up losing. :(

Lol that sucks

Shop refresh gave me the last two Artgerm variants I needed to complete the album (Black Cat and Ghost Spider). Now I have this great Storm emote that Im absolutely going to spam at every HE deck and Alioth loss.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/3feaf768.jpg

happy skip cannonball week

Wow someone actually just spammed the Groot button emote at me

I spammed the Storm nothx emote at this guy in conquest that lost an 8-health round on the first round because he proceeded to let the timer run for everything after his loss.

people suck

Emote spamming is whatever but I don't understand the people who emote spam me after a loss in infinite.

Like bro we're both in the 40,000 ranks here and cubes don't matter anymore, why are you acting like this.

You should be happy I let the game finish so you could get your cool combo instead of leaving early.

That annoys me more than anything when I have my cool combo ready on turn 7 that it's taken me 20 games to line up and then the other guy leaves for 2 cubes on turn 7. We're infinite, just let me do my thing with my bad deck!

Its not the emote spamming that was notable

I was just amused that someone spent that much money just to be a dick

OTA

Captain Marvel
[Old] 4/4 - At the end of the game, move to a location that wins you the game. (if possible)
[Change] 4/4 -> 4/5

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.

Apocalypse
[Old] 6/8 - When you discard this, put it back with +4 Power.
[Change] 6/8 -> 6/6

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.

Mind Stone
[Old] 1/1 - On Reveal: Draw 2 1-Cost cards from your deck.
[Change] 1/1 -> 2/1

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.

Psylocke
[Old] 2/2 - On Reveal: Next turn, you get +1 Energy.
[Change] 2/2 -> 2/1

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.

Adam Warlock
[Old] 5/4 - After each turn, draw a card if youre winning here.
[Change] 5/4 -> 5/5

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.

Guardians of the Galaxy

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.

Rocket Racoon
[Old] 1/2 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +2 Power.
[New] 1/1 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power.

Star-Lord
[Old] 2/2 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +3 Power.
[New] 2/2 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power.

Groot
[Old] 3/4 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +2 Power.
[New] 3/3 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power.

Drax
[Old] 4/6 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +2 Power.
[New] 4/5 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power.

Gamora
[Old] 5/7 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +5 Power.
[New] 5/8 - On Reveal: If your opponent played a card here this turn, +4 Power.

Them all being +4 is kinda cool in a way, but also kinda sad theyre all just the same exact ability too

4/5 cap marvel is back baybee

I think need everyone that isn't rocket starlord and gamora needs a 1 power buff

Edit. Maybe just Drax

Hmm I had Cull pinned but now I'm not so sure after these Thanos nerfs. Maybe I'll just keep saving

Really don't like nerfing Apocalypse

Should have nerfed his timing to make Dracula get 4 less power from him at most

Nah I think the nerf to Apocalypse was perfect and exactly what he needed. The Guardian changes are mostly good? But RR is clearly and far and away the best? A 1/5 pretty easily.

Rocket mightve just found himself a spot in my Zoo team. Not sure who to take out for him though

Free shit time

Oh Subterranea got updated to only shuffle 4 rocks into your deck instead of 5. I still fucking hate it but cool.

People who play Magik and then play Scarlet Witch on their own limbo on turn 6 make me sick.
