I am most tempted by hood, mysterio, and ghost rider (op cards). Mysterio is such a gracelessly pushed card because of this "mindgame" play pattern that no one actually cares about/uses the card for but is some dev's pet mechanic.

Mysterio's mind game effect is not that big.

BUT, he's useful with:

• Bishop - he counts as 3 'played' cards, so that's +3
• Carnage - Eat your illusion for fun and profit!
• Blue Marvel - token synergy
• Patriot - The real Mysterio gets 5 power, and the tokens get 2 power. What's not to love?

I see Domino is a few Jubilee decks, do you use her? I'm thinking about adding Wave and keeping an eye open for Electro. That sound fun.

I absolutely do not use Domino. I'd rather have another chance to draw Wave or Electro.

My list:

(3) Killmonger - Tech against annoying 1-drops. This deck doesn't play any, so he's safe to drop any time.
(3) Electro - Energy cheating mechanic #1. Most cumbersome to use - best dropped on Murderworld, Oscorp Tower, Death's Domain etc. if you can.
(3) Wave - Energy cheating mechanic #2. Can also sandbag opponents who like to play many cards.
(4) Jubilee - Energy cheating mechanic #3. Not much to say here.
(5) White Tiger - A good card and a way to 'sneak into' locations that are locked down. Doubleable with Odin.
(5) Professor X - I added this as a tech card during The Bifrost being a hot location, but it worked surprisingly well - no one expects a Professor X on Turn 4, which is the ideal time to drop the guy, and if you can lock down one location the rest of your job just got a lot easier. If you try him, let me know how he goes.
(5) Spider-Woman - A good card, especially if your opponent plays heavily into a particular location. Doubleable with Odin.
(5) Vision - Basically a Tiger Spirit that can move around. Another good way of sneaking into locations.
(6) Odin - Not as good as in some of my older builds of the deck, but he synergizes well with Jubilee, White Tiger, and Spider-Woman.
(6) Hulk - He's Hulk. He smashes things.
(6) Giganto - A slightly bigger Hulk. Be sure to leave the left lane open for him when you play!
(6) Magneto - This deck just, like, needs lots of big drops, so Magneto stepped up. Most of the time you just play him as a Hulk, but occasionally you can disrupt an opponent's formation and do a big horse laugh.

Probably because he takes up 3 slots. See also Mister Sinister, who is technically a 2/4 that takes two slots.

He's overstatted to ensure he's played a lot. Sandman is understatted to ensure people dont play him much.

I wonder how bad Mysterio’s statline could get and still be playable. 2/4 no doubt, but he’s probably seeing regular play at 2/3. 2/5 is nuts.

I had a fun time once with Aero, who is incredible. Pulled mysterio clones over to where the other guy dropped Venom, who proceeded to eat all of them for 0 power.

I laughed like hell when I realized what happened and why it worked that way.

Aero (and also Magneto) have just a boatload of stats on top of a powerful effect. Absolutely love them.

Depends how good your memory is. You absolutely know where you played the card, but it then displays with a 0 just like the copies.

Yes, the square you play him on is the real one. You play him just like any other card, your opponent just sees it like you played three squares at once.

And Christmas Dinosaur is the only variant I've spent gold one and I have zero regrets. I love my skiing dino boy.

I'm Your Huckleberry
I played spectrum destroyer and was bouncing between rank 83 and 84 permanently. I rose to rank 85 and then dropped to 79 using it before climbing back up...to 83

Then I opened some pool 3 discard cards and went full on with the discard deck, briefly made it to 87 before dropping to 83 and bouncing around 83 and 85

So yesterday I went back to my destroy devil dino list I used for way too long, and now I'm 88

Long live the devil dinosaur, may he carry me forever

Not really. You get ~450 credits every day from missions, ~50 from the shop, and a good amount from the Weekly Challenge and the Season Pass. That's fixed, leaving only the CL.

If anything, I'd think credits become easier to earn as the game progresses, as collector's reserves show up and the rate you get new cards slows down.

Its not that credits slow down, its that you go a lot more ranks before seeing a new card.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Tender Bender posted:

I don't like Warpath because telegraphing that I'm only focusing on two lanes seems bad. But then again when he gets used against me usually works pretty well. Idk.
Warpath is a good mindgames card. If you're really only focusing on two lanes, then every power your opponent puts into that third lane is wasted. But if they leave that third one low, you can swoop in and steal it on turn 6. So they have to be constantly concious that you could be lying, or even if you're not, if they let you go up too far on the lane with Warpath in it, you can jump off into the third anyway. When facing a Warpath, you need to keep a lane with an overstatted card in it within at least 4, so you're having to balance dumping power into a lane you're gonna lose, and dumping power into a lane where you don't need it, and meanwhile your opponent can just do whatever on the third, actually contested lane, because your attention's been drawn away.

obi_ant posted:

Credits are the bottleneck. You'll always have more cards with enough boosters to upgrade them than credits to fund the upgrades, and the pace you get credits doesn't change. Your CL moves pretty quick.

I didn't know Doc Ock was "move". But he's a rough Turn 6. I have him in my Infinaut deck, might sub in Kingpin.

It's mostly upgrades to existing Pool 1/2 decks. Deadpool is amazing in the destroy archtype, Quinjet slots right into Devil Dino. Mister Negative IS an archtype.

Colleen Wing, Black Cat, and Moon Knight are Discard staples, Deadpool and The Hood are excellent for Destroy (though you'll miss Venom for that until you get him), Dagger and Human Torch are huge for Move, and you've got tremendous gently caress-You in Green Goblin and Black Widow, and a solid all-arounder in Captain Marvel. Go make a Discard or Move deck, you're fine.

It's neither move nor play, it's an add. Seen a few posts on reddit from people who found out the hard way that Doc Ock is an "opponent wins this lane" button on Death's Domain.

You can make a fun rowdy deck with Psylocke, Negative, Magik and Jubilee as the core. Fill it up with high cost / low power cards. Don't worry about 1 cost and 2 cost cards. You'll catch up after playing Negative.
