I have only just started playing this yesterday.
It feels so 'snappy' to play and rounds are quick!

I do not have many cards (certainly not any like I saw in decks on the last few pages) so I am guessing the more I play the more other parts of the game I unlock? It certainly does not feel like one that is all about monetisation right now either.

Also almost everyone I am playing (I am level 11) is doubling the cubes every round but doing it on turn 5 when I am controlling 2 of the locations and most likely going to have a victory. Is this a tactic to scare me? It is a tad confusing.

Also how does it determine wins if each of you control one location and the third one is level? I have just had two of those round ends and one was a victory and one was a loss and I am not sure why.

Until rank 30 you are only going to face bots. Don't be too concerned about snapping early or late yet.

If you each win a location but are tied at the third, it looks at the power difference at the locations. Did you win that one location with a surplus of 10 power and did your opponent win the other with 9 more? Congratulations, you won.

Edit: Have an example of a game that did lead to a tie, because there was no difference.

Oh really? They have realistic sounding names and are no longer just the heroes names. That is kind of cool - I genuinely thought I was playing real people now. :)

And thank you, that makes sense. I cannot remember the numbers in the previous rounds but I am fairly sure the one I one had me in the 50s for my power level compared to under 10 at one of the locations.

Ha! No problem, I struggle with the numbers too. Probably not the best for a game dealing with numbers, but the rounds are so fast I do not mind!

I bought the variants.

Aren't variants also important for progressing collection levels, especially if a variant of a card you use a lot any way?

You can take advantage of the fact that your first card upgrade costs 25 credits for a level as opposed to the general 50 credits but paying 700+ gold for that privilege is a terrible deal,

Each variant you buy is 1 "free" collection level. 720 gold of refreshes is 18 collection levels.

No. All cards with gray borders can be thought to be worth 25 credits. As far as progression goes, spending 700 gold for 25 credits is not a great deal.

When you max out a card to "Infinite" rarity it splits off and gives you a new common copy with an additional cosmetic effect; you'll never run out of cards to upgrade.

Are you sure they're snapping every time? In addition to snaps, the cubes double on the last turn if the game makes it that far regardless.

Your cards prestige once you max them out. That gives you a grey framed, duplicated card with a special effect on it. So you could grind collection levels entirely with one card I suppose.

It's not an exploit, it's a mechanic. You can't return a card to your hand when your hand is full. What did you expect to happen?

Destroy the Card, but that’s a Hearthstone mechanic I might have expected here. That said, not going anywhere when the location is full is consistent with other move mechanics in the game. Gonna have to keep that in mind when i see it next

I think this was true for the first season to bootstrap people past rank 30, and then everyone would be down ranked in the next season by 30 levels.

Sometimes, the stars align



Small note, their T6 play was Jubilee mid (they had BP), who brought Arnim, who destroyed BP.

I opened Ultron yesterday and he seems to be what the Patriot deck really needed. Thinking of moving the top end around a bit, dropping Abomination for something else, maybe putting Doom back in, but it seems alright so far (except I rarely want to play Squirrel Girl)

gently caress, just had 3 games in a row where the opponent Killmonger'd my Kazoo deck because I couldn't draw Armor to protect them.
And then in the third one, just to twist the knife, they hit my Kazar/Blue Sentinel/Onslaught space with Enchantress.

That's what the turn 6 one drops dodge, it lets you have your stuff spread out, and they will generally reveal first so Killmonger is unlikely

How do I do that and still get Onslaught on the field? I know there are +Energy cards like Electro and Psylocke, but Electro would shoot that in the foot as well due to his drawback

It’s a good point and you can’t really do both , whichever is better depends on how much killmonger you’re seeing (if it’s lots, the onslaught list doesn’t work that well, as you experienced)

Caches will get quite a bit better when the patch goes live on Monday or Tuesday - they'll have a pity of 40 to hit a series 5 card and will contain tokens instead of boosters. If you can hold your credits until then it would be worth it.

You'll get your first Collector's Cache at CL 506. I would hold off getting to that point until the patch has hit and you've updated your apps. The chance to get boosters is being removed from those caches and will be replaced by a chance to get tokens, you will definitely prefer that. Holding on to them won't work, those unopened caches will still have the old drop tables.

# To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.

A lot of people snap early feeling like they are way ahead and then you drop chavez/apoc with the swarm which can be a pretty good amount of power on turn 6 plus buffing the bishop in play.

Was running Angela and that was working too but I felt like I wasnt getting enough discards for Morbius so I dropped her for Blade for now

The most embarrassing thing about that is that Onslaught's Citadel is also on the board, and even has a doubled Ongoing in it.
