Had 10 keys and no Lady DS either so I thought gently caress it and went for it, first was Lady DS, second Selene (so tokens, I still think that the random should be tokens only if you’re S4/5 complete but anyway), third that bad HE variant and finally Red Guardian

Dunno if it was worth it to drop 4 keys on 2 cards but oh well

I overestimated Red Guardian (tho my analysis came from a Zabu-extant meta) and massively underestimated Red Hulk. While he is just a big stat stick, he is a BIG stat stick.

I think White Widow will be very good but absolutely awful this week as she gets a little mini-meta that is easily countered.

Yeah ever since I got Nico I've been sitting on boosters so that Peach Momoko variant is heading straight to infinite. Can't believe SD actually convinced me to save up Spotlight keys for a gat drat jpeg.

Dera's streaming right now, used 3 keys and got everything BUT white widow, has thousands of credits and ~unlimited boosters, and chooses to spend 6K tokens on white widow instead of upgrading a handful of cards to get another key.

I don't understand the logic. 6000 tokens are way more valuable than a single key.

in fact he upgraded a couple cards to get ~40 ranks away from the 4th key, then spent the tokens.

Blew three keys, got all three cards (I also lacked Snowguard); now I'm out until next season, which looks like it's finally gonna drain my key stash.

I got US Agent and the Snowguard variant, will probably earn another key later this week. Stupidly opened one last week and got the High Evo variant, no idea what I was thinking with that one, poor impulse control.

White Widow in 4, which makes me feel better about not spending any for Red Guardian. (New card was Miek, meh)

Played 6 games just now, all of them were against WW junk decks. Goblins, Debrii, White & Black Widows.

Looks like it's Destroy week

Every week is Destroy week in Snap, I think the only times it wasn't a top contender were the Loki and Thanos eras and even then it was at worst a solid ladder climbing deck!

Yeah, great at getting us into Wawa.
I blew 4 keys last week, but I got 2 new cards, so I'm okay with it.

I have 5 keys right now, and am 40 CL from the next one. I only need WW this week, and I'm on the fence about her anyway. I have a grand total of 100 tokens, so that's not an option.

Then again, I don't have any spotlight wants until... the Namora/Skaar week?

Edit: BLEW 4 KEYS gently caress ME

I bought WW with tokens this week. I didn't like the variants for the other cards and I am trying to get a good number of keys saved for the future.

I also figured that after getting RG in one cache last week that I would have to spend 4 keys this week.

i was pretty high on corvus. i'm still pretty high on war machine (he'll get better over time), and was very very high on red hulk aka basically the best six drop we have now.

i'm also pretty high on white widow. if you can't afford to buy, open those gacha lootboxes. she's gonna be busted and they'll have to nerf her.

Skipped the last 2 weeks. I'll do my usual waiting a few days to see how WW turns out. She may be good but I hope she's not, I rather dislike clog decks.

She's even better than Black Widow and costs less. I imagine she will eat a nerf in a couple of weeks.

We had Spiderman -> Absorbing Man there, which meant you simply could not play into two lanes on T6. This is better.

Yeah, people think it's hard now?

Leader copied everything you played, with buffs if played without priority.

Wave applied her effect after other discounts. So Death could cost 0. Deathwave was Death, She Hulk, and Aero on turn 6 after Wave on 4. Also, Aero moved every card played.

Quinjet allowed cards to cost 0, and Lockjaw had no restrictions. Add Thanos.

Surfer was a 3/0, +3 to 3 costs. Zabu was a 3/2, -2 to 4 cost cards. Both existed together for all of a month.

Shuri had no lane restrictions, and Shadow King didn't exist.

And the whole time you'd get told it didnt matter what cards you owned its just about snapping and retreating.

Shuri was the loving worst. Armor on 2 and Cosmo on 3 meant you just retreat. I used to get so loving tilted by that deck.

I ran a Sera Surfer list with Zabu, Enchantress, and Shang Chi. It felt so good whenever it popped off and I dropped 14 energy worth of cards on turn 6.

When you are already guaranteed burning 4 keys you might as well pick up the spotlight variant to be a baller, he also has 75,000 tokens.

Spider-Man used to prevent your opponent from playing a card on his lane next turn and he was a four cost, so with Zabu you could turn 5 Spidey and Absorbing man and you opponent couldn't play two lanes on 6.

The correct play was Zabu on 2, Moongirl on 3, Spider-man x 2 on 4, Absorbing Man x 2 on 5.
