Board 8 > Marvel Snap Topic 10: It's Not Attuma

(+) Yeah! (+)

With the deck Im running I know if Im losing or not since its all RNG whether Jubilee & Absorbing Man show up plus whatever remains in my deck to be pulled out by them. I dont really care about climbing so its just a fun deck to run for my amusement.

Created a new Wong deck because i just got mystique, any suggestions?

I've mostly been playing a Patriot Valkyie deck lately and it's so frustrating to lose on turn 6 because my opponent randomly decided to put a Killmonger in their deck.

Like are you really running into enough zoo decks to justify running Killmonger in your dumb deck?

Really wish they would nerf that card so zoo can be a real archetype in this game.

I don't run Killmonger but I run into a lot of Patriot decks and it's basically the main reason I run enchantress.

A lot of destroy/discard decks just run killmonger anyway

If I dont have any 1 drops in my deck, (and even if I do have 1 or 2), Im running Killmonger

This was the most confusing opponent Ive ever faced. I think he just threw the match as early as turn 2 or 3 because those plays make no sense otherwise. He got Red Skull out early via +5 energy this turn location and then it was all downhill for him

Weird interaction I found today:

I had my Hazmat deck and Luke Cage on the field. My opponent played Titania. Hazmat blasted their side, Titania switches to me. Titania's power went back to normal. The next time my opponent played a card, Titania swapped back over to them, over for her to lose her power again.

So your opponent playing Titania when you have a Hazmat deck is only a good thing for you.

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.

My new favorite thing to do is play Rogue on Luke Cage on Turn 6. Even better when shes been Negatived.

Killmonger is as common as Armor, Cosmo, Enchantress etc. I hate it

Makes sense why he is when Sunspot is the #1 most used card. Hes a prime Killmonger target, but Killmonger is also good at removing Infinity Stones from the board and Zoo stuff as well

I'm feeling so unmotivated to even finish my daily quests right now. This game is so stale with those pitiful Shuri nerfs that did nothing to that deck.

Just be a low rank player. Lifes easier and you dont have to see Shuri, Red Skull, Taskmaster 9/10 games from the sound of it. I still occasionally run into people using Zoo or even random stuff that doesnt seem to mesh well

I can't be a low rank player because my CL is 6000. So I'm only playing against other people will full collections.

Even without Shuri this game is just getting old, new cards are added too slowly and don't affect the meta. I don't think you guys realize yet that we're going to be playing these same Patriot and Destroy decks for probably YEARS with the rate they're adding cards.

I'd just prefer a traditional Hearthstone expansion option that adds 30 cards every 4 months instead of this stupid acquisition method.

Also I'm not even sitting here and trying to get infinite or grinding all day. For like 2 months I've seriously just been logging in to do my daily missions and quitting. Sometimes those missions take me like an hour though.

I feel like i did a pretty good bigbrain move by saving Beast to double up on Gamora/Starlord on-reveal effects for Turn 6.

I am aware. I felt like you got cards too slowly the second you finished pool 2 and they were no longer guaranteed. The randomization of what you get after can make it take ages to run a new deck because youll always be missing a key component of it for a while most likely. They should revamp stuff.

Make every Pool 4 a Pool 3, drop 5 to Pool 4 and keep it exclusively for Big Bads and thats a nice start at least. All new cards after can be made Pool 3 unless theyre Big Bads. Hell maybe even introduce new stuff like real events. Give players an event that just gives out a pool 3/4 card as a reward or something. Gives you some motivation at least. Only so much they can do trying to sell Variants, bundles and stuff

Maybe take a break until Conquest Mode?

I dont get the complaints about not getting cards tbh:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/2/7/AAGQPmAAEUhT.jpg

I have 35 collectors reserves saved up, ~10 cards I could get, but I just dont feel the need yet.

I was gonna use them when the Steampunk stuff came out, but I really only use one of the cards so Im just gonna keep saving.

It's always going to be a problem unless they inject a bunch of cards into pool 3 at some point. Once a year they need to add like 30 cards to pool 3 or something.

But I think the biggest problem is that the design space is too simple so they can't release cards quickly. If they release cards too quickly they're honestly going to run out of characters and run out of ideas for cards.

Maybe that's pessimistic but this game is too simple from a design standpoint I think. Personally I think that's the reason why they're releasing cards so slowly.

Card acquisition is fine until you finish pool 3. Then you'll be lucky to get 2 new cards a month, not counting the season pass.

I think before finishing pool 3 you get ~11 cards a month. Like 10 from credits plus the free P3. And then you're probably going to end up with ~4k tokens so it depends how you spend those as to whether you get another card.

Yeah after pool 3 it's about 5000 tokens a month or so I'd say. So you can get 1 series 5 cards or 2 series 4 cards a month and whatever random stuff you pull.

Well you are also guaranteed one Series 4 card every set of 40 Reserves

My latest reserve was 300 tokens. Only 2k and some change to go for a Series 5 card still!

I decided to see how long it took between my last card drops.

Maria Hill at 5374
(3 or 4 variants between)
Sauron at 5914

So that was 540 levels divided by 12 per cache was 45 cache between those drops.

So it's not a hard guarantee every 40 caches it seems.

It's per block of 40 caches so the max distance would be 78 caches in between (first of 40 cache block, last of following 40 cache block)

Had a match with Sinister London where my opponent got Cerebro AND Mystique doubled up, for 4 total boosts, and he started spamming Ms Marvel.

I dropped Rockslide + Black Widow, Darkhawk, then Turn 6 dropped Rogue, and started spamming Thanos at him, and he literally spammed Thanos + Ms Marvel for 30 straight seconds, he must have been heated lol.

Yes this is correct

It takes up the spot of the P3 card though I assume? So it's still ~10 cards from CL each season?

It was in response to this which is talking about after Series 3 completion

The random stuff you pull will most likely be exactly 1 Series 4 card

Beast almost fucked me. Opponent retreated though lol

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/2/6/AAe3nCAAEUi2.jpg

My favorite time an opponent emote spammed was when I played Galactus on the last turn when my opponent had a total of four power on it. He proceeded to spam Thanos until he heard "Nuf said, bub."

Nah. You win total power tiebreaker anyway as long as you DON'T play Beast

I've been doing that exact thing for like 4 months and it's a blast. Literally what else do you expect from a f2p mobile game designed to be played on the toilet?

I'm like 2/3rd through pool 3 and I have so many cards that I haven't even touched yet. I've played like 3 archetypes for a decent amount of time, and only 6 or 7 decks total. I feel like I won't run out of cards for a long time.

That said I also like to play poker, which hasn't had a new card in like 500 years.

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.

Just wait until Poker adds Daredevil

man getting screwed by both playing captain marvel but you went first so yours doesnt move and their marvel does feels pretty dumb

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/8/1/AAGQPmAAEUlR.jpg

omg, I think I need this variant

I wasnt sure if Prof X blocked Captain Marvel after the game, but he does!

This was a very fun read on Galactus. Was very close with Wolverine playing ping pong twice but Infininaut clutches it out.

Speaking of Galactus reads...

Very cool variant for my free rank 60.

Ive decided that the most satisfying move in Snap is to snatch their Ongoing ability with Priority Rogue on literally the exact turn they play Mystique.

Ive been waiting for this one to show up in my shop. I really want it, but I wonder how long its gonna take. If youve got the gold they should let you pick a Variant you want once a month too instead of potentially having to wait on dozens of shop resets :(

They should probably let you pin variants in your shop and also have them refresh every 8 hours instead of 24

What are easier decks to get this win a location with 20+ power quest? Ironically for me, people surrender to my Galatcus before my turn 6 Knull play that would win give me progress lol

I tend to just use Jubilee drawing out big power for those, but Devil Dinosaur is also worth a ton of points with a full hand. Could probably also get there with Blue Marvel + Onslaught or something?

If someone has wolverine and sends hobgoblin down a lane, isn't it basically guaranteed they'll play galactus there?

Can confirm. So loudly telegraphed too.

You can also play Enchantress there when you don't have priority. Often Patriot players will play Mystique on the same location. Darkhawk players don't though.
