I just had the shortest game on record: First location reveals. It's The Raft. I check the nameplate. He reveals first. I play Elektra on The Raft. He plays Nightcrawler and it gets sniped. Opponent retreats.

Pool 2 seems like it kinda sucks outside of killmonger, agent 13. and sunspot. Bunch of weird niche cards.

I love the Snap/poker element to this game but I'm thinking maybe I wish the cubes were for a currency and not rank. Because I generally don't care about my rank in competitive games, but I love to gamble.

No Wave posted:Pool 2 seems like it kinda sucks outside of killmonger, agent 13. and sunspot. Bunch of weird niche cards. Pool 2 is at least 50% essential cards. They just don't belong in every deck. And neither do Agent 13 or Sunspot. E: I just looked at the list for Pool 2. Out of 25 cards, there's only two that I've never put in a deck - Leech and Rhino - and Rhino does see play. Apart from that it's just Nakia, who has been nerfed into the floor. Jedit fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Nov 5, 2022 |

Sure Vulture and Multiple man suck in isolation, but put them in a deck with multiple ways to move cards and they can win you games. Why would you want cards like Carnage and Deathlok that kill your own cards? Combine them with cards like Nova and Bucky that you want to destroy and you’re set!

troll deck is my new favorite e: when they hit you with the scorpion but it secretly buffs Hobgoblin and you play it back at them like a reverse uno card

My opponent played Spider Woman on turn 3 without destroying or discarding any cards. How is this possible?

Got to do a sweet swing earlier. Opponent has Hawkeye (buffed, and a Ka-Zar somewhere), Sentinel, we're fairly evenly matched (I think I had Angela plus something else?). Last turn I drop Elektra on there. Snapping would've given it away, but it was nice to get the 4 cubes Schneider Inside Her posted:My opponent played Spider Woman on turn 3 without destroying or discarding any cards. How is this possible? Elysium can reduce cost, and Project Pegasus, The Superflow, and Tinkerer's Workshop can give you additional energy. X-Mansion can also give each player a random card, Morph can turn into a card from the opponent's hand, Psylocke, Electro, and Time Stone also give you more energy, but those seem rarer, I suspect location stuff.

The most common answer is you have Spider-Woman in your hand and they played Morph.

People have a really hard time reading Professor X's card text -- it's multiple times now I've seen someone snap and play a Doctor Doom or whatever for the attempted win without understanding "no, really, cards can not be added or removed at this location"

No Wave posted:Pool 2 seems like it kinda sucks outside of killmonger, agent 13. and sunspot. Bunch of weird niche cards. A lot of those niche cards might not slot in well to pool 1 decks but they're archetype-defining in their own right. Jubilee/Infininaut is a real deck, Storm is crucial for the Professor X lockdown strategy, Bucky Barnes is a key player for self-destroy. There are some other good all-rounders too; Iceman and Scorpion are great "I don't know what to do with this slot" fillers for a 1-drop and 2-drop, and Hobgoblin can fit into plenty of decks and potentially ruin someone's day.

My pool 3 is off to a great start, I've gotten viper and kingpin so far Legit might end up quitting if I get shafted enough, I was super frustrated getting killmonger as my last card in pool 2 If I can't start playing other decks while I have to face off against people who were just straight up luckier I don't think I'll continue

Has anyone here had any success with playing pool 1 decks in pool 2? I am starting to feel like I did something to offend the random number generator, since I keep on unlocking cards like cloak or leech. I really like the game, but right now I’m struggling to get out of the mid 30s, since my collection score is going up but the quality of my actual deck is stagnant. I’d love to have a fun gimmick deck, like a movement one, but cards that seem super important (like Vulture) may as well be in another game for me :/

Or if someone plays into professor X on the same turn they still get through?

I just hit pool 3, my first card was Gambit. I can't imagine he's good, but that is 10/10 flavor. (he throws away one of your cards and destroys an opponent hero)

Not great against Zoo, but will really mess up Destroy decks where you're making fewer, but stronger cards. mirror123 posted:Can you shut down a location by flipping first on the same turn?

Cards played in the lane will still activate, but if they're trying to move away or add more cards to the lane, then its not going to work.

I played core p1 decks all the way through p2. There are so many options don't feel like you need to no-life one deck "because its the best" either. Yeah, zoo is good, but also onreveal or ongoing tribal decks can win plenty and with all sorts of variations! Moon Dino is great! If you're stuck in the 30s, remember that snapping and retreating is actually more important than the deck too.

Do you hit pool 2 the moment you're at CL 214 or a level afterwards? I've got so much boosters right now I really want to max out my credits before I move on.

Wondering if it’s correct to cram killmonger and Shang chi in as many decks as possible, if you can get one 8-cube massive swing game by crushing someone T6 it’s worth 7 games where they bog you down and make you retreat.

mirror123 posted:Can you shut down a location by flipping first on the same turn? Or if someone plays into professor X on the same turn they still get through? They do get through if it's the same turn, and effects that modify card power/stuff like Klaw can still affect the lane-- but nobody can play or destroy cards in it, or move cards in or out. Most common use case is playing him after Spider-Man (4-cost "opponents can't play cards here next turn") or you just hail-mary drop him in an empty lane and hope your opponent didn't play a bigger card there. My favorite move is playing him T4 on the "if you have no cards here, +1 energy every turn" location

Prof X has very good interactions with the "if you play a card here, destroy it". That said I never use him, he's a little yolo for me.

Jedit posted:So far as we know, you enter Pool 2 for matchmaking when you open your first Pool 2 card. You will still only match people with similar sized collections though. So if you only have a few pool 2 cards, your opponents will too. Sure, they may have lucked into a perfect combination, but that would quickly increase their MMR and get them out of your range anyway. On the other hand, if you wait until you can unlock a ton of cards at once, you'll be thrown into the deep end with people who already have experience with the pool N+1 cards and that won't be much fun either. TL;DR: unless you have a very good reason not to (like you're on the verge of getting infinite for example), it's better to just keep progressing. Play, discover new cards at a decent pace, gain experience, and have fun.

lol that was a wild interaction i had just now turn 1, we both played agent 13 turn 6, we both played the Leader (I had never seen this card before either, still in pool 2) we both got completely randomly from it on the same empty location, instantly filling the board with 4 copies on each side and fortunately winning the game for me because I was ahead

It just sucks to have cards in hand to deal with a situation and be immediately shut down when Leech comes out and turns your hand into a bunch of cards that are numbers and nothing else. There's no real counterplay, just a gently caress-you.

Nova/Killmonger/Wave are the tech slots I'm not as sure about
