Making legendary (no gently caress you I refuse the world does not need yet another classification system) is easy with the use of Killmonger. Also bots. Bots are such a poo poo thing to put in a multiplayer game.

I got like my last 20 ranks with this. Gamora could very well be Spider Women, or another 5. Medusa could probably be Mister Sinister. Yondu is nice for the knowledge of your opponents deck but probably could be something else.

What the gently caress is legendary?

I'm not sure how using Killmonger upgrades a card to Legendary, but whatever system is working for you sounds great.

Yeah it feels like the high 50s and 60s are a real quagmire. I’m still making some progress but it’s a lot of retreating 3-4 times followed by one 4-8 cube win. I’m not sure I’m having fun anymore.

I'm not even in pool 2. But I'm convinced killmonger+nova combo is too strong just knowing how the cards work.

It didn't actually happen everyone involved knew what was being said. I am so sick of games (and more broadly hobbies) making things more difficult to outsiders by having their own lexicon. It's like just having people learn this poo poo is an important part of getting people hooked to their game. I'm sure if asked they'd say it's more "immersive" but I think it's more than that. Anyway it doesn't matter, me not using infinite in this case isn't going to change anything besides making myself feel ever so slightly better.

It's good but you don't always have the mana/board to use both. It's also competing with Hulk/Gamora for turn 6 plays. Earlier you probably will not have the board to benefit much from Nova.

I guess this is just "pool 2, but missing a few key cards that would make it consistant" level. I need to retreat more and not make that last play when I'm like, eh probably not but maybe I'll win!

Honestly a ton of games feel like 50/50s? Like there are two lanes that could flip and it's between me and my opponent to guess correctly. And my opponent never seems to retreat, evidenced by a consistent one cube bleed from retreat later. Guess I'm just flipping coins with my greedy opponents

I'll be honest, unless a dumb location pops up I never hit retreat later. I guess I probably should since its effectively the same, but with a very small chance of not losing a cube?

Here are my feelings and you can pick it up or not.

For me, I feel like the cubes/retreat is one of the aspects that makes this game interesting for me. Retreating a couple times to avoid getting slammed and then hitting a nice payoff puts me in net positive for the longterm. The cards could basically be any topic that's not superheroes (from a purely mechanical standpoint) but since it is superheroes and supervillains it feels on-theme because sometimes the bad guys will retreat after getting their rear end kicked so that they can come back and do more evil. On the flipside, sometimes heroes get captured and have to escape to fight evil on a better day.

I don't know if that clicks for you but thinking about that has helped me enjoy the mechanic and progress modality.

Also, imo it makes losing meaningful. Instead of just mindlessly seeing if I win or lose I have to put extra thought into "am I really going to win?"

Don't wanna give away my emote strat but... I aggressively, on turn 5 and 6, "snap?" people who have already snapped in the hopes that they will stay in a game I know I've got on lock in the hopes they think I'm bluffing and won't retreat. Works more often than not.

My emote philosophy is that if someone plays the same card at the same location on the same turn as you, you must spider-man point at them.

The Triskelion put Galactus into my hand and... how the heck is he supposed to work? You need to keep a location entirely open, and alos your opponent can't ever play more than 3 power there, including on turn 6, and it's not like you can lock down the place with Spider-Man or anything first because he needs to be alone. Unless there's a Silver Surfer that buffs him?

To answer your question Hobgoblin, Klaw, Mr Fantastic. Also it's probably still bad. You could lock it down with Spiderman by using Ironfist/Cloak I think. I haven't gotten Galactus yet though so how effective it is or isn't I do not know.

I googled for Galactus decks and the only one I saw that made sense involved using Electro or Psylocke to cheat him out on Turn 5 and then win the location by dropping America Chavez and Death there Turn 6.
