Ok yea I need to wrap my head around this being a “fun” not competitive game. If the matchmaking isn’t loving you the locations absolutely do.

Also I just had what I have to assume was a bot play a Shang chi on empty lane revealing second after I play jubilee there lol

Yeah, bots get to play against players playing face up and see what RNG rolls before hand.

She combos with other cards. Mr Negative turning things to zero cost cards, or finding wasp to cheat things in with lockjaw.

Also she’s basically abomination at base power, so she hits the curve well

Am I supposed to play against bots with pool 3 cards in pool 2? I'm seeing cards like Ultron and Destroyer and I'm not sure if I'm forgetting that they've played Agent 13 or if they just have those cards now.

Edit: It might not have been me but I've been playing a ton tonight and my deck is weird and not common so its pretty likely. As for the 18, on reveal to 8 and then one turn at that location that gives +1 power at end of turn then double with Zola. That location gives permanent power not "cards here get +1 power. I'm pretty sure I had a round of that earlier.

I did get one up to 64 tonight with Zola/Odin. That was fun.

I love the idea of this deck but am missing Giganto and Electro. Well She-Hulk showed up in the collectors store and I decided gently caress it and tossed her into this deck for electro and just subbed Hulk for Giganto.This deck has been scoring buckets ever since. People snap against me then lose left and right with this thing. They just can’t conceive of losing against the board state on 4. Then Jubilee hits Zola or some poo poo and it’s off to the races. This thing kind of just wins sometimes just by playing it’s big cards on the turns they normally come out too. No tricks. Which kind of makes me wonder about most 2 drops in particular and what the hell they do in this game. It feels like it could be refined. Cable and Sentinel seem like they are here because this was originally a Dino deck but you pass so often you don’t really need them and they feel awful to hit with Jubilee.

EDIT Worth noting this things hates Shang-Chi. That motherfucker ruins our day.

you can examine a card and if it was created by a card or location it will tell you below the card

Thrilling the forums since 2001

Decided since I'm missing some really vital pieces to a consistent discard deck at my collector level, I'm gonna create a grief deck.

1 - Iceman
2 - Scorpion
2 - Scarlet Witch
2 - Viper
3 - Cosmo
3 - Debrii
3 - Killmonger
4 - Super Skrull
4 - Spider-man
5 - Hobgoblin
5 - Spider woman
6 - Leader

On top of general griefing of each card, there's some stupid combos in there. T3 Debrii to T4 Viper is great for kicking more rocks into their lane. Super Skrull shows up late enough he's usually pretty obviously to see if he'll be useful. Spider-man on his own is great for disrupting a very important T5 or T6. Leader's just an obvious T6 drop too.

Had an interesting Leader interaction at the end of my most recent game too. Had Super Skrull on Onslaught's Citadel and dropped Leader there. My opponent also dropped Leader in another location. I ended up with a location full of Leaders in the location he played in. I think either there's some fucky poo poo with Skrull or some fucky poo poo with Citadel (or both honestly) but it was a weird thing to see.

I've thought about adding Prof X but I've never gotten the feel for when to lockdown the lane. Obviously when Daredevil shows up in the token store, this is just gonna end up broken.

I have Galactus in the token store now and I'm tempted to blow all my tokens on him but also

Yeah, I gained about 20 ranks over the past day I almost regret sharing it in semi-public because I don't want Zola to get nerfed if the gen pop of Snap starts using this.

Yeah, Shang Chi messes with this deck but some things I've learned:
* Black Panther's initial boosts puts him just below Shang's reach.
* Paying attention to and intentionally keeping priority helps extremely well to mess with him. Like a Lucy pulling the ball away at the last moment deal; Shang Chi whiffs and I have two huge chunky bros at the other locations.
* Situational, but bottom-decking their Shang Chi with Cable often makes me feel much more comfortable.

Other things:
Odin on Zola by itself can be hilarious. At the very least it's usually two 8 costs across the board even if Odin doesn't do further triggering.
I might swap Cable for the Wakanda hero 2-drop that boosts all cards in the deck (her name escapes me right now).

I do recommend trying out Electro when you are able to.

As for it being a dino deck previously, your logic is sound but it wasn't actually. In my first iteration it didn't have either of those. But, after sometimes not finding the right target for Zola I tossed it in since at 5 cost I can often play it on Turn 4. It also does not care about Cosmo.


Sam Sanskrit posted:

The drops I wanna sneak into this deck when I have them are definitely Electro and maybe Psylocke? Wave seems like they fit the deck considering how many times now my opponent playing Wave has won me the game but I don't actually have the card and don't particularly like it. Really recommend She-Hulk though for real. She comes out on 4 consistently and if jubilee hits her you are not mad.

I had Psylocke. I don't think she's bad but Electro being out first gives enough energy to do what I want and he limits us to one card play per turn so if she comes out later it doesn't really matter. I may try her again but my feels aren't in favor of her for this deck currently. If you find out otherwise lmk.

I don't have She-Hulk yet but I'll definitely keep an eye out for her. Thanks!

I was already running a Zola/Odin deck before this so I was pretty well primed for a lot of the tricks you can get up to there already.

EDIT: Yeah thinking about it you really just want Wave to be in your opponents deck. The games I have won with Infinaut into Zola have been done that way, but if you play the wave Turn 3 you can't Infinaut 4. Which is not exactly disqualifying since there are plenty of other plays it turns on, but that is my favorite thing to do in that situation.

The problem with that is Chavez is kind of the worst 6 drop you could hit with Jubilee and she is guaranteed to be in your deck until 6. You just gotta embrace not dropping anything until 4 a lot of the time. I don't even play Sentinel and Cable depending on the locations if I *do* draw them since I want to leave big boys alone with Zola so often. Sunspot on 1 though feels awesome. You gotta embrace ignoring the curve. 10 power sunspot forever.

Few things feel better than having a single Dino on a location, your opponent snapping on turn 6, you reveal first, and then their Shang-Chi only sees Arnim
