Google it. The game annoyingly doesn't tell you.

Game is fun. I’m still deeply in Pool 1 started out mainly with a reveal deck, now trying a bit of Zoo.

Slightly annoyed the season pass seems to have started „misaligned“ with the launch, and may skip it if I don’t manage to get a few more ranks this weekend.

This also corrupts the screen (which then stops updating) with small purple squares on my 2018 iPad Pro, so it’s unplayable there.

I bought the season pass and will be scrambling to at least get to 40 for spider-woman. Already have Miles variant. Should be doable as I’m already to 33.

I wish I could dump as much gold as I want to refresh dailies.

Also wish they’d integrate iOS login into Steam.

Miles variant is at 50.

You can link your iOS account to a Google address and transfer your progression to Steam that way. Don't ask me exactly how, I'm an Android user.

Yeah I know he’s 50 but since I have a variant not as concerned.

I did read that about transferring but evidently it’s wonky and you have to sign out of all iOS devices before playing on steam.

Edit - I see what you're saying - the variant is 50? In any case, I have one and don't have spidey woman so I'd definitely like to get to 40.

Drop Uatu sub in Forge and Hulkbuster to beef up MM

I'll try this. I was running Hulk Buster before but I dropped when I pulled Cloak to make room, I guess I'm overvaluing Uatu

Are there any Pool 3 cards that let you move right?

No. The Bifrost is so named because with Heimdall it swings both ways, but everything else moves left or to a targeted location.

I'm a little late, but for movement decks, I strongly recommend teching in Scarlet Witch to slag a location that causes you trouble. Some locations, such as Fisk Tower, will shut you down instantly and you need to have a counter for that.

Why Storm (or Rhino) over Scarlet Witch? Serious question.

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.

Storm locking down the location still lets you move dudes in. So you're at an advantage while your opponent can't do much about it there.

In addition to this, there are some location rerolls that just kill movement decks.

THE PANTS ARE FANCY!
Don't be predictable.

I was hardstuck at 60 for like two days I was deep in pool two and could basically make all the top tier decks, but an epiphany shot me up to 90 and if I have enough time to play I'm positive I'll get infinite.
This wont be a revelation for people because if you really think about how the game works, it just becomes obvious, but as I struggled to climb it wasn't obvious to me.

If your opponent can see your last cards like they are face up, you cant get much value from anything other then the bots and worse players (of which there are less and less of as you climb.)

I just earned the easiest cube of my life.

Turn 1, opponent plays Nova on middle location. Start of turn 2, middle location reveals as Wakanda and opponent retreats.

While normally I'd say you shouldn't retreat before you end up risking an extra cube by staying, I can definitely sympathize with their retreat.

This is why White Queen is such a strong card. It's not just getting you a 6 drop, it's getting you intel.

Here's to the new us.
Had a match where the locations were Sinister London - Mirror Dimension - Bar With No Name. Mirror Dimension turned into Bar. Never had a match of a card game where playing cards was a bad idea.

Also had a match where my opponent confidently 8-snapped and slammed down his Shang Chi to destroy my Devil Dino...on the same lane where he had played an Armor earlier.

Shang Chi is such a weird card, it's so situational that it feels underpowered, but then when the situations actually hit he's incredibly OP

To be honest, rank is immaterial - the main reason to play is because it's fun. If you're not having fun, there are likely better uses for your time...

I spent three turns building a +6 multiple man earlier to have my opponent casually drop the Shang Chi. Suddenly I'm sitting there with just a lone Forge in play. But yeah, I couldn't even be mad. Drop the fist bump and leave

To be fair, Collection Level is higher up on the screen and gets you cooler stuff to play with...

I've chosen my next victim. Cry tears of joy it's not you!

I've been hovering at rank 79 just trying to make it to 80 before the end of the season and then I lost 16 cubes in 2 matches because apparently everyone is playing Shang-Chi now and I'm on tilt so I have to stop for a little while.

It feels like the bots are cheating a little bit. I've noticed that when I'm on turn 6 and have a card that would pretty much guarantee victory for me bots have a tendency to retreat as soon as I place it on the board. if it takes me 20 seconds to think about my move, the bot waits until I've dropped the card on the board before retreating. :tinfoil:

I thought bots didn't snap or retreat? Honestly I noticed it when I first started but at this point I don't think I ever get matched with a bot, unless they taught them to emote

Trying to play a Discard deck in Pool 2. Is it me or does Sword Master or Blade always discard the card you don't want discarded? I'll play SM with Swarm, Apocalypse and Enchantress or whatever in my hand, figure well it's a 2/3 chance. Without fail every time it's enchantress. Just played like 10 games trying this archetype and it seems like the RNG just hates me.

Yeah, I've been burned by that a few times as well. Sometimes RNGesus just doesn't smile on you.
Of course then I get matches where one of the locations is "On Reveal Effects Happen Twice" and I'm able to drop Lady Sif, Blade and Swordmaster with Apocalypse being my only remaining card in hand.

...And then the opponent retreats.

As someone who has most or all the Pool 2 cards for Discard (?), it's fun, but I don't think it's as consistent as I'd like. I'm thinking of trying Destroy instead...
