He was very happy there's a Spider-Man pointing emote.

The Spider-Man pointing emote was a brilliant inclusion. I use it often when matches start with Ant-Man/Angela.

Speaking of Angela, does she get better with the second and third pool cards? I find she feels really awkward a lot of the time.

Angela should be in pretty much any deck that wants to properly play dudes to lanes. She's 2/3 with one additional play in a lane, which is a standard c/p spread. Playing another card makes her 2/5, which is great. Plays well with anything that can come down in her lane and move somewhere else, like Nightcrawler or Captain Marvel.

I doubted Angela early on but she's now the only card I'm about to have three splits of.

^^^ I used to play Scarlet Witch alongside Magik and occasionally delete my own Limbo to steal wins from people who thought they could spread their combo across turns 6 and 7. Then a bunch of whiny babies complained that playing around Magik required skill, so she got nerfed.

Captain Marvel is no better than anything else in a lane with Angela. By the time she moves the game is over and you can't refill her spot.

Angela is definitely a top tier card though. If you doubt, compare her to Wolfsbane. Wolfsbane costs 3, can't be buffed above 7, and requires that you fill the lane beforehand so she effectively winds up competing with 4-costs or higher. Angela costs 2, plays on 2, doesn't require a full lane commitment to play, and with bounce or move effects can gain more power. And yet Wolfsbane is still a very playable card - she's a staple in Sera Miracle for anyone who hasn't got Maximus yet.

Can't get over how good the visual and sound design is even on dinky little cards. If you pick up Hawkeye and hover him over the field he shoots arrows at the enemy nameplate, it's great. And it's done well in service of gameplay, like Cosmo barking at you when you're about to play a card in his lane to remind you of his effect

One UI thing I'd like to have is when I hover a card above the board, the game should hilight all the targets/affected cards. For example, hovering Kazar would hilight all my 1-cost cards, and hovering Enchantress would hilight all the enemy cards with an Ongoing effect.

Legends of Runeterra has a really nice feature where you can preview what the effects of playing a given card will be. Given how complex the math can sometimes be in this game I'd love to see a similar feature eventually.

It's a great feature in LoR but the simultaneous turns here would make it very unreliable

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.

It helps tremendously to translate the costs from gold to real money. They want either $9 or $12 per variant. You really wanna drop :10bux: on a jpg?

I’d get rid of Nightcrawler instead of Korg. Kurt’s only really useful with Kraven, Korg can mess someone up royally, especially if Kamar Taj pops up

Nothing to nerf the interaction, but Magik now being unplayable on 6 is a hit to the Sera decks that would drop Sera on 5, Magik plus 3-drop on 6 and then explode on turn 7. They can still do their big turn 7, but now they have to play Magik at full price and on curve so they lose the 3-drop (which was often Bishop, who also took a hit).

I assume you know that gold can be converted to credits and missions for faster leveling? You can get up to 1950 credits a day this way.

I think I’m finally figuring out account progression. I found out the hard way higher rarity cards drop boosters less frequently, so I maxed anything I had above Rare to get the split grey.

Now I’m slotting a couple greys in an otherwise Rare+ deck, grinding till around 155 boosters and bumping them two levels to Rare so they’ll drop less. When I’m ready for more of that character I max/split and repeat with the grey copy.

Am I missing anything?

Oh I see. That's a whole lot of minmaxing for 25 extra credits per split if I'm understanding it correctly. I guess it's something to give you some direction though, it's fun to optimize.

Yeah I don't think you really need to overthink it beyond that. I'm very pleased my first Infinity split card was Nightcrawler though because it's a fun and versatile 1-drop so I get to play it all the time :)

I’m pretty sure it’s not a big deal. Boosters will eventually drop, credits are the holdup. But I figure if I can get into good habits early it might save me some pain when I’m 3000+ levels deep chasing that awesome pool 3 card that just won’t drop.

Nightcrawler rules and was my first split too! Now I’ve got Ant-Man who I’m very happy with, and Punisher who was probably not the best choice. Thinking of doing Ka-Zar next.
