I don't know how useful Valkyrie is going to be immediately but she is in pool 5 and was the first card that showed up in my token shop, so I bought her for the 6k.

I've pulled her twice in my Mr. Negative deck (once off of Agent 13, once off of Morph) and she seems solid, great if you can set her off. Mr. Negative, Psylocke, and Adam Warlock (my side) and a Demon, a Winter Soldier, and a big Carnage on their side was delightful.

Threadsnipe Edit: If she turns out to be good, getting the Gonzales variant of Valkyrie is a high priority for me.

Spectrum Destroyer is a solid deck on its own, although Destroyer did get a small nerf so it might be more beatable

If you get Wong played against you on Kamar-Taj, just retreat. They always have White Tiger, Ironheart, Odin and they completely wreck you. Even if you think you got it, you don't.

I have had games where my opponent played Wong to Kamar-Taj and turn 5 I swiped his White Tiger away with Aero. Turn 6 he tried again with Ironheart; still having prio, I pulled Wong away with Magneto. But yeah, if your opponent gets to use his On Reveal four times you're probably not winning that one.

I'm playing an Agatha discard deck and Infinaut has started in my hand legitimately five times in a row. What the hell.

Any deck based around cheating out high power cards automatically adds a hidden ability to your 6-cost cards: "This card starts in your hand".

I was running basically this from like 50 up through the mid-80's. The thing with Angela is that it's totally fine to play her after T2 and it's not uncommon to play her T6. Ideally you're NOT dropping your big bodies early so the opponent doesn't know your gameplan: one of the benefits of Sera isn't just the energy cheating, but it's that it happens T6 so your opponent can't react. Dropping Angela T2 signals that you're probably going to fill that location. In that regard Okoye feels pretty good to drop T2 because you can toss her wherever without giving away your plan. Ideally I went T1 pass, T2 Okoye, T3 Bishop, T4 Strong Guy, T5 Sera, T6 vomit all over the board.

I never did the math on whether she was actually helping me to get over the finish line in games though.

I started flailing after getting into the 80's and deeper into Pool 3 and got frustrated, so I tore my deck apart and replaced the Discard stuff with a small Destroy package, Shang-Chi because I lacked a big punch so I need to destroy a big body instead of outpowering it, and threw in Aero for good measure because she can be clutch. I don't know if this is better yet but I'm having fun with it:

# (1) Nova
# (2) Bucky Barnes
# (2) Carnage
# (2) Scarlet Witch
# (2) Sentinel
# (2) Lizard
# (3) Bishop
# (3) Wolfsbane
# (3) Killmonger

I read the gold to credits ratio was actually good, you'd get less credits buying them with straight gold. So everything else is a bonus

Yeah I thought they adjusted the "bad luck protection" so now you just consistently got a new card every 4 caches, but I got Brood, Mordo, and Taskmaster from 3 in a row? Lol maybe they broke it again but in a good way

I just got her, she's one of the s4 cards I feel most confident about. Also opened Taskmaster from a cache -- they're pretty fun with the current featured location



edit: I think there's a deck in there somewhere with her and Wave. If you play Wave and pass on turn 5, she gets discounted down to 2 on turn 6 so you can play her and another card (or play her twice if you duped her with Moon Girl)

When I first got into this game, I really wanted to try a discard deck, but after playing against it and seeing how random it is (and after failing to pull Dracula or any of the other important discard cards), I gave up on trying to make it and found some other decks I've enjoyed.

My shop has offered me Hela, Hellcow, Colleen Wing, and Helicarrier. Can't help but laugh.

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

I was getting frustrated with how often I would lose to Enchantress or Shang Chi with my combo decks so I switched to a deck with Shang Chi and Enchantress in it and now I have a 90% win rate and never lose 8 cubes because my entire deck can be countered with one card. I usually win even if I don't draw Sera because Sentinel and Angela/Bishop have a very consistent power output. Don't play Killmonger/Shang Chi/Enchantress until the last turn, unless they play Wong. The last patch nerfed 3 of the cards in the deck and I didn't really see a difference in how it plays. It also played great in the Throne Room location.

I'm also finding that 16 power in a lane is not enough to win both lanes. I had a similar problem playing destroyer

I’ve been playing him all evening and he’s awesome. Feels like a great final card when you’re not sure what to put in the flex slot. Green Goblin has some great variants too.

I don’t think he’s optimal in my deck but I’ve been running The Hood as well and that card is so much fun. I laugh maniacally when I fling him to certain doom at a location. Or sometimes I play him in front of Killmonger on turn four.

Poor Hood.
