I don't know, i kind of ironically like them. They are ugly and i wont spend gold or cash on them but the few I've gotten from season pass or leveling up I've slapped in the decks.

I usually use the most garish and ugly aesthetics in multiplayer games though because it makes me laugh

Not really. Jessica Jones has a great pixel variant that nobody uses because she also has the two Michael Gaydos variants. There's also a non-zero chance of them adding Jewel and Captain America variants, which would also be better.

I've opened pixels for Klaw, Yondu and White Tiger and they're also good.

Well alternatively you could have paid by playing a ton and got like 70% (this guess could be way off). Lol. Well Arena was an option but I didn't like Arena.

I recall reading this as well, initial stakes are low so if round 1 messes you up THAT much, lose the cube and go again, is kind of what they're thinking. Smaller deck sizes and everything being one-of reduces the need for a mulligan too, it'd slow the game down more than improve it IMO

Just a quick check and a full collection of a Hearthstone expansion is about 300 to 350 bucks. There's 3 expansions per year.

I thought it would be more honestly.

According to that article, it's also physically impossible to have a complete collection with F2P. You'd have to play literally every waking hour and even then you'd be 80 bucks short.

Like another goon mentioned previous page, Destroyer early plus Warpath seems like a really good finishing move. I got Wave right before Destroyer from pool 3, so I've been playing her on t3 -> Destroyer -> Warpath -> lower level cards to pad those two (when I can). Psylocke and Jubilee can get him out early, too.

Motel Midnight off the hook
Just got to level 41, collector 232 and need some advice on my MOVE deck. I've gotten too attached to some of these cards.

# (1) Iron Fist - to duplicate Multiple Man
# (1) Nightcrawler - great way to move into spots that can't be played
# (1) Uatu - has won me a few games by being able to see where to play early
# (2) Multiple Man
# (2) Mister Sinister - great for capturing spots you have to fill up first
# (2) Carnage - great for clearing space taken up by smaller cards and rocks and raptors
# (3) Doctor Strange - for duplicating Multiple Man
# (3) Hulkbuster - for leveling up Multiple Man
# (4) Jessica Jones
# (5) Iron Man
# (6) Heimdall
# (6) Hulk - SMASH

Maybe I should use Kraven instead of Mister Sinister or Carnage? But they are both pretty handy.
Chavez instead of Hulk? I've won so many games by slapping down 12 points on a location they thought was locked up.

I will say at CL 690 now, rolling into pool 3 that the game isn't as enjoyable as it was going through the first two pools of cards. Feels very hit and miss with the randomness with the cards you get and choosing between playing a good pool 2 deck or making the slim pool 3 cards you get work.

Carnage is the obvious first to go, he does nothing for your deck. Uatu is second to go as he also has no synergy. Third is probably Hulk. I would add Kraven, obviously, he will get stronger from all the movement. Second add is probably storm so you can shut down locations and move guys in and out. Third is a tech, probably Shang-Chi, so you can beat big Dino plays.

Base Medusa or M’baku portraits have the strategic advantage of making you look like a bot. I might switch to Shang-Chi portrait soon to try and psych out opponents even though I don’t play Shang-Chi in my deck.

So FYI Warrior Falls is a full on last card standing, if you play two cards there they'll fight each other.

It's unreleased but it's been datamined. There are almost 70 cards we've seen that are currently unreleased, but there's no guarantee they'll all make it in.

I learned this the hard way. I had a big brain move on the last play of my new kazoo deck and absolutely had the location (my 20+ to their single full jessica jones) and ended up losing the location (and match) 8 to 7 because all my cards hosed each other up.

I did have a couple amazing moves with Bar Sinister tonight tho.

Klaw on there is honestly a no brainer play. Automatic 24 on the location to the right and combined with Spectrum it was the solid play. Their play of Okoye on there was also pretty good to pump their deck 4x but you're just giving it up at that point so you better hope what you're stabbing can get you 2.


This dude snapped immediately and when he dropped the Uatu I figured he already spotted Limbo which fine. I think maybe he was hoping punching Vulture into Bar might dupe it but when it didn't he dropped Spiderwoman which isn't a bad play but this one I was already deciding to play the other 2. He got very mad when I filled up my location before he could play Hobgoblin and retreated before T7.

Though speaking of Bar and Hobgoblin, I did see a really good play of someone dropping Hobgoblin on Bar and giving a max 36 point hole for someone to try and climb out of.

Discards don't, but Yondu does.

Apart from that, just build a normal Destroy deck and put Death in it. Add Squirrel Girl for Killmonger tally and Moon Girl for double Death if you don't have Venom, but it's better with Venom.

There are ways to get rid of ongoing (enchantress, zero, one of the locations) in which case he’s free power.

I think the main synergy though is with a Luke Cage debuff deck where you have cards like Hazmat, Typhoid Mary, Yellowjacket and use Luke Cage to neutralise the debuffs for your side. Maybe go with Scorpion and Shadow King and try and kill half your opponent’s cards?

Just theorising as I’m not at the point where I have most of these cards (Just Yellowjacket from pool 3)
