Bar Sinister only gives you 4x your best card.

Better pop Iron Fist in that deck,

And crank it up to 5x

my opponent didn't realize the implication of New York spawning along with Bar Sinister.

Best play at Bar Sinister I've seen so far is my opponent dropping a Hulkbuster there to merge itself into a 16 power behemoth that still left 3 slots open.

Bar Sinister + Hulkbuster/Venom/Arnim Zola is as hilarious as it sounds and I'm loving it.

This obscure strat was so powerful that it caused a disconnect (still lost tho)

Iron Fist caused Enchantress #1 to move and get +2 power. Enchantresses #2-5 all got the buff, too:

Go RV! posted:

All* levels of card upgrade are worth the same amount of CL per Credit, so level up whatever cards you think look cool. (*Frame Break is half price)

To level up a card, you need boosters and credits. NEVER BUY FAST UPGRADES FROM THE SHOP, you're going to be hard limited by credits, not boosters. To get boosters, you can either get them from CL/Season rewards, or by playing games with the card in your deck.

You're matched to other players by your Collection Level, so if you feel confident in your deck and want to grind out some ladder levels, you can save up credits to not move further. You have a cap of 5000, hitting it will permanently set back your progress. If you're going to do this, I'd recommend the breakpoints of the end of each pool of cards (CL214 and CL474).

If you want more credits, don't use gold to buy more. Use the gold on mission refreshes, as they'll give you additional season pass progress.

They're trying to encourage you to discover some basic archetypes on your own :ssh: Ka-Zar and Spectrum are both strong Ongoing effects that want you to flood the board, and White Tiger and Odin are both On Reveal effects that combo extremely well together.

I need to play Onslaught and Captain America, but don't have Cap. Might buy the starter thing tho so guess it worked for them

Blue Marvel on Bar Sinister is a good play tho. My opponent dropped a Gamora there, and while they did have 70odd power, I still won everything else.
Amusing thing, all subsequent Gamoras got the bonus an extra time, starting with the original's bonus and duplicating the On Reveal as they spawned.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

That’s weird. I assumed it was the same pairs for everyone. That’s another powerful combo, though.

Yeah the way On Reveal effects work with making copies leads so some insanely nutty things, like the stuff about hulk buster, carnage, and venom earlier. Makes me really have a fun time with the game and god I want those pool 2 and 3 cards.

It is. You're first asked to use White Tiger/Odin and Spectrum/Kazar from Pool 0, then on another day you're asked to use Onslaught and Cap.

Am I the only one who thinks that the pixel variants look really ugly? I don't have anything against pixel art in general, but these seem particularly low effort.

Some are better than others. Pixel Quinjet is good and would be played more if not for the Blueprints and Spirit of Vengeance variants. White Tiger, Doom and Jessica also have really good pixels. But yeah, that one is trash.

Never refresh if you can't empty two spots before the next natural refresh, obviously. Otherwise it doesn't matter, except that you're restricted to three refreshes a day so if you don't do it today you lose the chance for good.

I've been playing since the start of beta and just finished my collection today at level 2,650 after pretty much exactly 5 months. Never bought gold or spent the gold that I did get on progression, though I did buy 4 of the 5 season passes. I took a few weeks off and didn't really go out of my way to optimize so I'm sure other people will get there faster.

Overall, I've been happy with the card acquisition model and still love playing. Late pool 2 and early pool 3 can be frustrating until you get a coherent deck together, but I think it is worth pushing through if you enjoy the game.

Probably not a good idea. Playing on curve you'll fill your hand with stuff you might not easily be able to get rid of or use yourself.

Yup this. I had some bad luck with Bar Sinister not appearing or not getting one of the cards I need or one of them getting destroyed or something else like a TVA locations messing it up but it’s so so worth it when you can pull it off, especially as people seem willing to snap against me when they can’t see what I’m going for.
