I happened to time a Kamar-Taj, Korg, Ironheart, Wong, Odin. It took 80 seconds to really show the opponent just how badly they had lost.

Hit infinite with this deck this morning, as mentioned I swapped Dino, Moon Girl and Sentinels for Mysterio (might be one of the best cards in the game, 2/5 with upside of your opponent not knowing where you are contesting), Storm (ok in this deck, won me a couple 8-cube games when I played it on T6 on a nexus after letting my opponent throw all their big cards on it) and Hobgoblin (honestly abomination would probably have been better). I think playing in the 90s at under CL600 broke the matchmaking, I got a lot of repeat opponents and bots

Final boss was me dropping cosmo on T6 to shut down an Odin play and killmongering my nova to win a locked down lane by giving +1 to a mysterio illusion. Pretty much this deck in a nutshell

Been doing well with the original list, finally climbed out of my 50s hole into mid 60s. My wonderful pool 3 cards so far include Goose, Viper, Brood, Falcon and Wasp, a bunch of cards that don't really fit anywhere in the pool 1 & 2 decks.

I 100% feel your pain. Just try to stop caring about level (it’s hard, I know) and go for making cool plays that you find clever. The game will never dumpster you so that you get put in a place where you can no longer be competitive, you can always climb your way back.

I have wanted to chuck my phone across the room a couple times with this fuckin game, lol. Just take a break if you feel it’s no longer fun.

Thank you for the pep talk, lol. I put my control deck aside and took a break, tried a new Dino/Destroy deck this morning and clawed my way back to where I was. Things are looking up.

Marvel Snap Zone has a neat article that is about decks you can build with one pool 3 card and all the rest pool 2&1. It's a nice starting point for the awkward Pool 3 Adolescence.

I am definitely not good (at level 99 this morning I played hobgoblin on a location I had dropped cosmo on), so if I can do it you definitely can. Tbh I think the key is picking a deck where you know before hitting “go” on T6 that you can flip a negative board state into a win (or know that you can’t and can fold). The DinoVision deck can do that, as can the Kazoo T6 dump deck. If you can generate more 8 cube wins your climb will be much easier

Finally pulled Magneto and Kingpin and now it's time for some extremely rude poo poo. What should I run alongside them? Moon Girl And Devil Dino sounds obvious based on the curve, but it seems like you want to save Kingpin for turn 5 so the opponent doesn't just play the cards they don't want moved at his location to begin with

You just have to play a ton (k I'm not infinite I'm 72 so maybe it gets harder). There are so many bots to farm it is barely ever worth snapping humans.

Sera and Aero. Then you can drop Kingpin and Aero in the same location on turn 6 for some serious poo poo up-loving.

when your opponent plays a leader on turn 6 opposite your armin zola it turns the last round into madness, especially if zola then copies the leader

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It is very satisfying to chase those juicy Shang-Chi kills and you can lose perspective. I would have screwed myself if had played the one on the left (at the location with a beefy Squirrel, Kazar, Blue Marvel and Onslaught) before the one on the right (several heavily buffed cards). I bet my opponent wishes they would have drawn that Armor earlier before they committed to Onslaught's Citadel.



Edit: drat, I've been playing with low settings on a laptop and had forgotten how bad it looks in screenshots.

A pool one Kazoo play is:
Nightcrawler x4, move one, Blue Marvel, move the other three, Onslaught.

The week Bar Sinister was a featured location I played an Onslaught deck and its ideal turn one was Nightcrawler on Bar Sinister. If your deck revolves around buffing your cards after they're played it's a surprisingly effective strategy.

That's the thing about Wong-> Black Panther -> Zola is you start broadcasting it on turn 4 so it's extra funny when it comes off.

This deck crushed pool 2 decks who had never seen the pool 3 cards and now gets bodied by regular pool 3 decks. There are a number of easy hard counters, cosmo, shang chi, armor, plus now u have to deal with magneto and others messing up my ability to play

I did just draw Patriot so maybe that's the next deck

I have no idea why my opponent snapped on turn 5, and even less of an idea why they didn't retreat when I snapped back on turn 6.

Opponent snapped when Daredevil was active and they played Captain Marvel in an otherwise empty middle.

Not a bad idea, but I played Gamora trying to keep my center big, hoping his next card wouldn't be too big so I could keep Captain Marvel locked in place with Professor X (who would resolve first) and still win.

They played Shang-Chi, I did a fist pump.

I had someone win one location by 52 points but have ONE other card out on the board. And they snapped!

Bot maybe? I feel like someone with aweedbabygoku-esque name isn't a bot but maybe I'm underestimating the devs.

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

I feel like I need to try playing with decks that don't involve big predictable combos. I win a lot with my Patriot deck but everyone always retreats when they see what's going on so I'm winning one or two cubes at a time, and the rest of the time my opponent also snaps and then plays Enchantress and I'm hosed out of 8 cubes. Any suggestions ?

I'm thinking I'll go back to my old Collector/Dino deck. Collector has been nerfed to poo poo but at least if I get a bunch of random cards in my hand I'll have a lot of options and unpredictability.

Not having a good synergy card with Storm is a bad idea I feel. Might swap enchantress for JJ.
