If you have Sunspot or someone out there that makes the setup look right, sure. I've def won games with a bluff snap. Like this one I posted a few pages back:



Yep, I'm dropping that Odin in the middle lane, nothing you can do about it buddy.

Just do it in turn 5 so you can still retreat if they call your bluff and snap back :keke:

If you want to bluff snap, I find it’s useful to snap and then immediately go “Snap?” back, like you’re the cockiest rear end in a top hat in the world. It works surprisingly well at causing retreats.

I did spam a guy with Snap??? The other day trying to get them to snap back. You could tell they were really thinking over their moves, trying to figure out what play I could possibly make. Eventually they snapped back. My big brain play was to Shang Chi the lane I knew they were dropping their 12 energy apoc, only nothing happened because Armor was in play. I had played the Armor. Sometimes my brain turns to mush after a few games.

Game seems fun, I'm only at rank 12 or whatever so I basically have nothing super interesting, mostly just going with an ongoing deck with uh.. Spectrum I think that makes all the little ongoing dorks bigger + the dude that makes 1 cost guys bigger and antman

Sure are a lot of bot matches though. Because man, the bots basically just play stuff on random boards where it won't make a difference. I guess that's the point but I wish they'd differentiate them a little bit

Currently at Collector level 806 and I've been lucky enough to get Doom, Electro, and Wong this early on in Pool 3. Been running with this:



While Psylocke would be better than Electro, I do not have her yet plus he doesn't hinder me much. The juicy play is to use Wong/Odin/both with Doctor Doom and fill up my area with Doombots. Winning roughly 70%+ of my games so far. Just hit Silver, but mainly I started playing last season with only a week left.

Electro is fine. Most decks that run him do so with the intent of never getting rid of him - he's there mostly to enable a potential turn 5 Infinaut followed by a single-card breaker like Leader or Doom. And they don't run Psylocke, whose main use is to cheat out 4-drops on turn 3.

I mean just the basic cards. Still 3000?

I've seen at least one person on reddit post that they finished getting all the cards at ~2500. That's much faster than typical, looks like most people post about it somewhere between 2800 and 3500. Like ChiTownEddie said once you finish with pool 2, you get one pool 3 card and then every 8-12 levels you get a cache that has a 50% chance to have a new card. Then after CL1000 it's a reserve cache every 12 levels with a 25% chance of a new card. There's some bad luck protection in that a 7th pack in a row that wouldn't have a card will be forced to give you a card; for the reserves it's the 10th pack.

I'm not quite to CL400 so coming up on the end of pool 2, not looking forward to the drought of cards.

While the CL mechanic is neat, it's horseshit that I'm 5 cards into pool 3 and I just faced somebody with a custom title and a fresh that's half pool 3 cards that all synergize.

Edit: Yeah, this sucks. I'm apparently right at the level where I get to face opponents with cool combos but I don't get to have them. Like, I get to lose to Black Panther + Arim Zola, but meanwhile I get Black Cat and Kingpin.

The idea is to shut down a zone or two and dictate the pace of the game. Storm is versatile and pressures them to commit to a zone. Lizard works well with Shuri's lab or as a T2 setup to Storm. The Guardians are there because you're making situations where you likely know where the opponent will be playing; Storm into a Guardian or Jessica can be strong. The dream is Storm t4 into Professor X t5 while they're responding to Storm, into Gamora t6 in the last open lane.

Nova/Carnage/Killmonger are there because the Deck was coming together low on one drops so I decided to go all-in so Killmonger could clear out Zoo decks. Popping nova can boost your closed off lanes. Hobgoblin is just fun, but Klaw probably fits the deck better tbh.

Just want to say that it's funny to me that Okoye, Electro and Killmonger are all 2-3 energy cost in this game, but 5* characters in Marvel Puzzle Quest (which I've really lost interest in since I took this up)

Then again MPQ just churns out one 4* or 5* character after another, and they've only recently grudgingly gone back to giving 3* weakened versions of their new 5*s

This is extremely close to a control deck I've been doing work with for the last week through pool 2/early 3. I ended up dropping Carnage for Scorpion after a while (Nova getting anything off of Skillmonger is just a nice bonus now and aagain), and I run Shang Chi and Emma Frost over Star-Lord and Groot, with Hulk as a finisher over Professor X; it's a lot of answers to a lot of problems and you'll usually know if they work by the time you're really snappin' off. But I love the Guardians theming narrowing down their drop locations by doubling up storm/prof and I might try out this style of the deck in full.

Also the best thing about running Agatha is that she literally won't allow any other card in your deck to get boosters at the end of the game.

How do I link my steam version with the my mobile version? I just installed it on steam, it brought my straight into the tutorial, and kept me on rails until I'd made an account. Then, when it finally asks me to link my account to google, it says "aw snap! this account is already in use". NO poo poo GAME.

EDIT - Well, when I closed and re-opened the app it asked me to sign in rather than continuing with the account I'd been forced to make in the earlier session. So this time, when I selected my google account, all is well.

I think it works because (at my level) it's easy to snap when my board position doesn't look strong and then shift pieces around at the last minute in ways my opponent doesn't expect to win. I don't know if I'm winning any more with this deck than any other... but I'm definitely getting more 4 or 8 cube wins.

All my pool 3 pulls have no synergy so far: Kingpin, Rogue, Rocksilde. Though if ever I want to change it up I guess i'll try something. I stole this from Reddit if you're in the same predicament as me: https://marvelsnapzone.com/pool-3-decks/. The guy made a deck with 1 pool 3 card per deck only so you can play around with your shiny new toy when you hit pool 3.

One thing to note about pool 3 is that the collection level rewards will improve in a future update. Currently, Collector Caches have 20% chance of dropping boosters which, frankly, are worthless. They will be replaced with Collector Tokens which can be used to buy new cards from the shop. It might be better to hoard your credits now close to the 5k cap and only advance your CL after the update happens.

Thrilling the forums since 2001

Started playing late last week. I'm deep in pool 2 but frustratingly haven't gotten some of the more "meta" cards (I only just got Killmonger and still don't have Iceman). Anyway, I had the absolute most incredibly rude play today.


The strat I was going for was a Black Panther/Odin play.
The first spot was a Bar Sinister at the start of the game. He had no 1 power in his hand so I got to play Yondu w/o any counter. I can't remember which two cards I killed but at least one was a 6 that wasn't Chavez. I was willing to take the scorpion swipe because Panther wasn't in my hand yet. I got Mysterio from the Hub and I figured, gently caress it, why not? At this point, I noticed I had priority and figured now's a good time to shut that poo poo down and played Storm. He absolutely retreated after realizing he couldn't dupe Enchantress. I know he had another play in there but I can't remember what it was but it blew up in his face.

If you play a lot you'll have enough boosters that credits have been the upgrade bottleneck for a while. I had one weekend where I really played a lot and I've got blue border cards waiting for their next upgrade ever since.

If you keep playing the same amount that you do now, never. But if one day you sat down and played for five hours straight you'd now have a lot of potential upgrades without having earned any additional credits.

I decided to not give a poo poo about min/maxing my fun and I'm just upgrading whatever and getting cards when I can.

First pool 3 cards I got:
* Debrii
* Black Cat
* Daredevil
* Electro

I don't think I can do much with Debrii until I get Patriot at least, or with Electro until I get Zero (but I'm open to suggestions for pool 2 decks + those cards), and Black Cat seems unplayable (but same), but Daredevil seems like a top tier pull.
