I posted one in games, there’s currently a dumb low-effort shitposter trying to war with it.

You're the one who made another thread when there was one already while claiming that yours is "real". "Dumb low effort poo poo poster"? gently caress off rear end in a top hat.

I don't think it really needs two (three) threads, but I do think the thread won't get as many eyes if it lives in the subforum. I didn't know it was here until I went looking suspecting that it probably already existed.

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.

Just send this one to Games and nuke the other two from orbit. But fix the thread tag.

So I randomed a 0 cost Galactus yesterday and never having seen the card before, managed to get blown out spectacularly by a very confused opponent. Turns out Galactus is not a double Scarlet Witch. Whoops. :doh:

This combo is hilarious and people seem to confidently snap into it often because it looks like you're blundering unless they can anticipate the turn 6.

You can tell who's been burned before, because they see you only move one Nightcrawler out and immediately retreat.

"Can't play cards here" locations can still get cards reproduced (like Squirell Girl) or moved to.

You're not meant to get credit if you escape before turn 4 unless your opponent also retreated, but for some reason I believe it is still being given.

The best way to win locations with one card right now is Venom + Arnim Zola, if you have them. Throw a Hulkbuster in Bar Sinister, add Venom, then add Zola - it's a bit random and can be countered, but you generally end up with two 800+ Venoms somewhere.

Oh yeah, def would have happened. It happened to me one of the last times where I had the "cards cost +1 on turn 5" location so I couldn't play Blue Marvel.

Of all the RNG that tilts me, nothing so far has surpassed Morph giving them a super high value card. I'm eager to discover what Pool 2 surprises await me. I'll probably cross that threshold tonight.

Not right now. There are bots that you play against right at the start as a tutorial, but that's about it.

Yeah, protip for everyone: if Bar Sinister comes on the board and just one Nightcrawler moves away from it to let in Blue Marvel, your next move needs to be hitting Retreat. (Which is gonna make for some fun mindgames once everyone learns that lesson and people start bluffing Onslaughts they didn't actually draw.)

HellOnEarth posted:

There isn't, but the game does a good job onboarding you. For the first ten levels you don't even have the Snap mechanic yet, and until level 20 or 30-ish you're going to be playing, almost exclusively, against bots who are taking a dive. You will be walking around going "drat is there a Marvel Snap world championship because apparently I don't lose".

Also the starter deck is very simple, with one or two mechanics to introduce the concepts but mostly brute force. That frees you up to learn the basics of Number Go Up and playing the locations. The starter deck is yours forever, so any added complexity from there will be self-directed, as you start experimenting with pulling a card or two out of it to replace them with something better you unlocked. (It's a shame that the symbiote event is ending, since three of its missions were to play a deck, each with a different bread-and-butter combo in it, that should ideally make you go "ohhh, that is a thing I can do? I bet I can build a whole deck around this".)

Same and it feels so good when they slam Nightcrawler turn one into Bar Sinister and immediately Snap. Enchantress rules.

I pulled Angela today so I think I'm finally in a bit of a decent spot. Got Blade too yesterday, so I have basically the two more straightforward Pool 1 decks.

Got completely wrecked by an Agatha earlier. I got her turn 1 via the Hub, and made such great plays like Elektra on an empty location on turn 4, and nothing else, with Ka-Zar in hand.

Maybe 5% of my opponents so far have been real people (only rank 29). Maybe not even that. Part of this game's genius is putting you up against piss-easy bots for a dozen hours to make you feel good.
