Board 8 > Marvel Snap Topic 7: A Hela Good Time

(+) Yeah! (+)

Fast forward is strange

I literally had Wong + Thor + Odin + Hazmat on the double activation location and we watched as Thor was commanded by Odin to summon 16 hammers. Took probably 2 minutes of real time. No fast forward.

Whosoever holds these 16 hammers

I'm dying. This person was smugly throwing thumbs up "I feel confident" during the whole match.

He plays that Nightcrawler and Hobgoblin, doing a thumbs up before they reveal. And then I have Surfer and Juggs there that just punts both of them into the middle lane. And then I throw a thumbs up after.

I tried a few gambles that didn't pay off in this one but the last turn this dude really screwed himself.

One of the most satisfying things ever is the emote spammer getting btfo

after choking at rank 99 9/10 cubes (and losing EIGHT cubes) off of playing cards in the wrong order, and subsequently tying a 2nd game after making it back to 9/10 cards, i have finally made it to infinite rank!

final thoughts: this was one of the most grueling grinds to the top rank in pretty much any game i've played (excepting league of legends i suppose, though i will never make it to masters there even). i don't necessarily think it was harder than other card games, but the sheer number of games it takes definitely dwarfs the other games because people rarely play for 4 or 8 cubes once you get into the late 80s and early 90s ranks.

aero carried me pretty hard though and the card effect definitely needs to be nerfed to something like moving only the first card played that turn by your opponent. shuri also carried and prob should be nerfed as well. but yeah the fact that aero on 6 with 2 winning lanes is often a straight up autowin is a little too busted

lastly i stand by the statement that the thanos/quinjet interaction needs to be nerfed, absolutely the most frustrating deck i played against and often felt like an auto-loss regardless of the deck i was playing. it definitely didn't help that the featured lockjaw location was absolutely nuts for that deck

probably won't do it again, or at the very least not while a cardback is the only rewards :/ although it is a nice cardback

there's an in-person marvel snap tournament between content creators tomorrow where each of them brought 2 decks (with 0 shared cards between the 2 decks) and 11/16 players brought at least one quinjet!

which ties aero and she-hulk for the second most prevalent card! behind shang-chi, of course

my crusade against the overpowered quinjet continues!

Does anyone at all think Iron Man needs a buff?

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if he did. He has low utility outside of negative

I wanna beat someone who does this with my Klaw

16 players brought 24 cards, so there are 384 opportunities for a card to be Quinjet, and it actually was 11 times.

No idea if thats relevant data lol, but it doesnt seem too prevalent when you put it that way.

I'm confused. Why didn't Hobgoblin fly to your side mid? Did you reveal second and he already failed to fly?

That would probably be it

Yeah, my location was filled and I revealed second.

With movement cards like Aero or Juggs, if their turn is first, they'll still play their on reveal first. But if you play first, move them first before they activate. A lot of times with Kingpin, I'll play Aero or Juggs and they'll destroy their card without even flipping.

feels kinda bad playing against top meta decks and people with infinite card backs and im at rank 40

Interesting stats for this little tournament of major league Snap players. Out of 16 players with two decks each.

if this happens again you should snap instantly and theyll leave 99% of the time guaranteed

The second turn hadnt even finished yet. My Armor flipped first and he retreated while Bucky was flipping for me

I've been playing Lockjaw Thanos for a day and yeah maybe this deck is too much lol.

Quinjet on 1
Mind stone on 2 (draw 2 stones from your deck)

Lockjaw and 3 stones on turn 3 pulled Leech, Devil Dino, and Blue Marvel.

And with the space stone you can move one of those over and play another stone there next turn.

Some upcoming cards that look interesting...

Black Knight: (1/2) When this is destroyed, draw a card.

Bullseye: (1/2) On Reveal: The next card you draw will be a 2-Cost card.

Flatman: (2/2) Ongoing: Adjacent locations have +1 Power.

Gorr: (no stats yet) On Reveal: Destroy all 6-cost cards, wherever they are

Hit Monkey: (2/0) On Reveal: Gain +3 Power for each other card you played this turn.

Loki: (no stats yet) On Reveal: Swap hands with your opponent.

Mephisto: (6/0) If you win this game, double your winnings.

wow Mephistos a cool concept, meta-card!

i've been saying this !

I really hope they just dump some of those cards straight into pool 3. I mean imagine getting your 1/400 series 5 random drop and it's Flatman or Bullseye. The effects are just so vanilla it seems weird putting them into series 5 first.

I'm really hoping that eventually they have a big series 3 card dump like 20 new cards straight into pool 3. Maybe they do it once a year as a pseudo expansion.

Hit-Monkey might be fun in a Mr. Negative deck.

well right now you could get shanna from a series 5 hit, that's roughly on the same level as some of these. so i assume they will always start in series 5 first but i definitely agree it would feel bad

Honestly if it starts becoming more popular I think Elektra might start seeing some play. I'm kinda surprised she doesn't see more play now considering how many decks run Sunspot but if Quinjet becomes meta it's a pretty easy counter.

They would probably need to make Killmonger worse in some way before people start picking Elektra over him

i think killmonger is fine as is, they should just make elektra 1/2 probably

killmonger is definitely not fine as is

killmonger is rarely worth playing unless you're intentionally trying to kill your own stuff to play out Death or you are really tired of losing to thanos (understandable)

the vast majority of decks in the meta run like 1 or 2 1 drops max, it's rare that killmonger gets a ton of value out of his effect and he's only 3 power which is pretty bad if you're playing him any later than turn 3

Yeah Killmonger is basically stifling an entire archetype by himself, he's not fine.

because killmonger exists

I get tons of value out of Killmonger/Nova in my Sera deck. Play Killmonger as the final card on Turn 6 for an 11 power total boost from Nova

Very sad to see Bullseye looking so weak. I wanted to find a way to make a deck with him.

I feel like Black Knight needs to be at least 1/3 to be viable. As he is, only cards who benefits from him are Venom/Carnage, and Venom not even that much.

(and killmonger)

if none of its cards get nerfed before he gets released, black knight will make deathwave even more consistent

i mean sure but that falls into the first category too, intentionally killing your own stuff and isnt a problematic use of the card at all

I just dont see the benefit in Killmongering a card to get another card when you can just play a useful card in the first place.

because deathwave really needs to hit both death and wave to win (and ideally she-hulk and aero too). Hitting those 4 cards by turn 5/6 is better than any other card you could play in your deck which makes black knight useful for it.

for any non-destroy deck you probably wouldnt play it because you could have a straight up better card for your archetype or deck in its place

In a normal game, not accounting for locations or powers or TVA or Turn 7, youll draw 9 of your 12 cards

If your deck is very dependent on one specific card (Patriot or Cerebro for examples), it increases your chances of getting that one card

Playing those decks but not getting the archetype card is so frustrating it makes me want to add Adam Warlock to the decks lol

EDIT: Probably not worth it in a Patriot deck since you would need to add another card to destroy it, but it would slot in nicely to my Cerebro 3 which already features Killmonger

I get frustrated enough where theres 4 cards left in my deck 3 of which are 6 cost and Jubilee draws out the 1 1-2 power card :(

Youre gonna really appreciate Lockjaw

(I dont even have Lockjaw lol)

Lockjaw is one of my most played cards, even with no big bombs and just on-reveals, its nice to use, say, a Gambit, and know hes back in the deck for you to draw and use again.

Also Black Knight might be good to have if Galactus takes over the meta

Got this one from the season track. I was very close to buying her just yesterday. So three very good variants from random variants from Season passes so far (this one, chess bishop, and Summer Kingpin)
