I kinda wish they would have buffed some of the weaker cards instead of just doing nerfs.

Also nerfs that really won't do much, I don't think 1 power is making the difference in many Destroyer and Sera wins.

Oh, so the token store also sells variants of cards you already own. I don't really need to see Namor in rotation.

I think it just sells the rare variants that can't be randomly opened and could previously only be purchased for 1200 gold from the shop. Cynically it's just a way to further gum up the collector token system, charitably it's a way for players to get them without spending money, and realistically it's probably somewhere in between the two.

Weird deck I played. Player didn’t do anything for 4 turns. 5th played Black Panther then Arnim Zola which made the 8 power Black Panther move to the two other locations at 18. Not sure how that happened.

I just ran into this. Gonna hold off on playing outside of dailies because Pool 3 cards in Pool 2 suck rear end to play against and can't really be planned around rip

So if I'm understanding correctly you need to get 17 power in one location and then at least 1 power in another location to beat this deck? It doesn't sound very good lol

Bit more than that, since they played cards in their other lanes, and had one empty lane for the combo. So, 16 + whatever they had in their other lanes. I also don't like trying to play play around pool 3 strategies when I literally do not have access to any of them lol (heck, I don't even have Shang Chi and Sunspot. I'm still missing Pool 2 strats!!). I did just get Hobgoblin, but hadn't put it into a deck yet, so this is good impetus.

Just had someone beat me with a Galactus that was in their deck. It went: t3 Wave, t4 Galactus on empty location, t5 Gamora, t6 Drax + some 2 energy card.

I had Shang Chi and would have won but the location they chose was the new throne room. Gamora died from Shang Chi but then Drax (who had already been played) got the double power boost to jump to 16 didn’t get killed by Shang Chi

You can also use boosters to increase Black Oanther which then gets multiplied. So if you get +2 from Okoye and +2 from Forge then he’ll start on 8, double to 16, then when Arnim splits him the copies will be played and double again to 32.

There’s no reason you have to play nothing for the first 4 turns, you just need to leave a lane open to ensure BP gets hit (or do Wong -> BP for double strength extra copying shenanigans). Black Panther drops on t5 in the empty lane which is your first clear signal about what’s going down unless you’ve got cards which give you info on the opponent’s deck.

Nice.
Black Cat is the only thing showing up for me so far, and she doesn't strike me as a good investment since I'm still many cards short of a deck that could really use her.

I’ve got a bog standard deck with cheap stuff like Bucky, nova and venom in it… and Arnim/Panther. I try to build a monster Venom in one lane, luring people into countering. If it happens, I might hit him with Arnim. If it doesn’t, t5/t6 goes to A/P in an empty lane and the failed venom components plus BP becomes a 20 point lane.

No reason to sit idle for 4 turns, jeez. At least put a sunspot out there!

wasn't one of their selling points for this whole thing that, if you had a bunch of cards, you were likely to see the one you were looking for fairly soon because the pool of cards it can randomly choose from is smaller? if it just throws all the variants in, that doesn't really help. Glad I'm learning this because I'm happy to have locked in a Pool 5 card and just wait 'til whenever I get ... 3000 more tokens.

Seems very likely that there will be compensation.

Is there more than one card on the token shop? Or did it cycle because you bought one?

There is a timer. So you can log to a shop with a card with 1 minute left, and see another one very soon after that.

I am only at collector level 226 after a week or so of playing (I am not focusing on my rank because that is so wildly up and down) and I seriously dig this as a nice way to pass the occasional four minutes.

I have taken screenshots of some of my wildest matches and just now had a match where my opponent did nothing every single turn. They did not let the timer run out either, they were clicking end turn at differing moments. It was very strange.

The only variants in the token shop are Ultimate variants exclusive to the shop, costing 5000 each. Currently there’s a Namor and a Ghost Rider variant in there, that’s all.

Perhaps they wanted to downrank for easier matches and/or get boosters for common cards? Though it was a lot of the fun for me was trying to get wins with all gray border cards just thrown together in a deck.

Is that how you do it? I admit I have read every post since I first started reading the thread and a lot of what you guys say goes over my head right now (especially things like specific decks) so I do not know the tips and tricks.

(I am pretty sure my deck is probably a wonky one that no one would ever play as well but it has served me well for my clueless style :))

Holy hell is Aero a fun card. Just won a match by pulling the opponent's Patriot and Mystique into the location that disables Ongoing effects. Wasn't even trying to disable them, I was just trying to keep cards out of the other two lanes, and would have still lost if it wasn't that specific location because they would have buffed their cards regardless.

Running Luke, Hazmat, and Typhoid Mary can let you get up to some stuff. I'm doing that along with Blue Marvel and Debrii and have pulled off some bullshit; drop Typhoid Mary anywhere when Monster Island spawns to dodge and use up the Shang-Chi. Use Debrii + Hazmat to throw -1 Rocks onto Sanctum Santorum or an Iron Man square. It could definitely use some more power-downs for perfect synergy and the deck I'm using doesn't feel complete by a long shot as I continue to tweak it, but people aren't expecting a lot of the stuff you can do with it at the moment. Having most of your board dinged down only to drop Blue Marvel and Luke back to back can be a surprising board-wide power swing.

Importantly, Luke works exactly like Colossus; your cards can't have their power reduced from any source. Lizard now has no downside. Scorpion does nothing to your deck. Any of the negative zone / sewer locations are free bingo. He's much better than he seems on paper, but he does still feel like ne needs a bit more support to be more than niche. Luckily it's a very fun niche.
