One of the high power decks to beat involves destroying 4+ cards in early game, then playing Wave on 5 with Death & She Hulk in hand, giving you turn 6: Death (4-4), She-Hulk (4-2), Aero (or really anything) for a total of 30ish power.

Yeah it's not as stupid as it is with the featured location but Death + Wave is very strong. That said, it loses to this guy:

Seems like a good idea to keep a Discard/Movement/Destroy deck handy even if you don't main those archetypes just so you've got them for when Missions require those particular mechanics.

They just never see the turn 6 Ultron

They drop Jubilee into Odin into Infinaut on Isle of Silence (I had a couple of dudes there, plus Patriot and Blue Marvel elsewhere). Confidently snap, they drop Hulk onto my Patriot and BM, I just throw Ultron on Isle of Silence.

Snap has evened out for me 😌. I'm running Hela, but I don't necessarily have the cards to make it work super efficiently. It's sloppy, but like, just running a discard shell with high-powered cards on the side has been super effective for me. Ironically because I don't have great discard synergy it's been a lot less autoplaying than described on this page lol.

lmao I went up against JeffHoogland (but almost still won, stupid Hela discard!!)

there's an archetype built around cards like the collector who really care about cards that didn't start in your deck. agent 13, cable, moon girl, etc. i don't think it really pops off unless you have the quinjet to discount them all, but it's worth keeping an eye on

I’m not good at much anything else in the pool 3-5 mishmash but loving over Leader enjoyers that I see with White Queen

Put win-con in a crowded spot mirrored on their end and watch their 4 point brick come down

Or failing also play leader from said white queen

Surfer buffs your 3 cost cards, not three power. There'd be some overlap for anything three cost but 0/1/2 power but not a lot

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

So, I pulled the Destroyer last night and decided to try out a combo of Armor, Wave, Destroyer and Zola. Unfortunately the three times it combo'd it always dropped Destroyer in the Armor lane first. Not sure if it's default or just the RNG hating me.

Are there any non-Death builds for Destroyer that work out well?

This (and slight variations of this) is the only deck I see people use destroyer in, but it's a very popular deck: https://marvelsnap.io/deck/spectrum-destroyer-hoogland-1458 - prof x lane is also protected from destroyer's effect.

As for your combo, I would have thought you'd want the destroyer in the armor lane to drop first. Regardless that combo does not sound good do it with Devil Dinosaurs instead.

This is mine


I usually have one lane as destrucable cards (Nova, Bucky, etc) or Colossus, a second lane where I put some powerful stuff and use Armor/Xavier/Invisible Woman to protect them, then drop Destroyer in the third

You could honestly slot her into a pool 2 Infininaut deck and you'd have something playable. She likes Wave but doesn't require a bunch of specific support

My Hela deck got me pretty far, but it’s absolutely a brain dead deck. You just discard everything until you can play Hela or Ghost Rider and hope you don’t gently caress up, but there’s very little you can actually do

I built a Hela deck and got her in every starting hand for like half a dozen games, and she ended up getting discarded in almost all of them what the hell

seriously does she have a hidden quicksilver ability or what, also why does lady sif always discard hela over hulk/infinaut/odin?

Thrilling the forums since 2001

If you drop Wong and snap at T5 and I snap back, just loving retreat, especially if you don't have priority. I'm about the drop the most toxic combo I can think of on you for even considering such a play.

Opponent was obviously playing a Surfer deck because the only other cards they had dropped at that point were Brood and Killmonger (when I hadn't dropped a single 1 drop at that point). They drop Wong on T5 and snap. I drop Sera and my next card is Rogue (with priority). Drop Rogue, Wolfsbane and Surfer and absolutely blow up their Mystique, Surfer play before it even has a chance to reveal. I'm pretty sure I would've won even if they had priority but I also feel the need sometimes to just absolutely be toxic to someone who thinks they've got a big brained play going (I've absolutely been on the receiving end of this before).

I have to keep reminding myself "just believe them". If they're snapping and you're not 100% sure what their plan is and aren't confident that your cards can defeat them - just Retreat for one cube. It's fine.

I love it when a Wong player drops Wong, snaps and emotes "Snap?" when I have Cosmo or Aero in hand and priority.

Some people run that off-meta Death card in Hela decks to protect Hela from Sif.

Bast buffs Surfer himself, plus Ironheart, Wolfsbane, Bishop, Mystique, Brood (for a total of 3), Rogue, Mr Fantastic, Gambit and Lockjaw. That's not an insignificant slice of cards.

Bast has also brought Seratonin decks back to high tier because she buffs almost everything in that deck apart from Sera, who loses just 1 power post-nerf, and she also enables turn 2 Adam Warlock for greater consistency of drawing Neg and more negative cards drawn.

I used all my tokens on She Hulk and am very pleased. She's very flexible. Works when played early, allowing late utility drops. Works played late combing with other cards in unexpected ways. She like's lots of different cards, but I would say Sunspot is the only other card you have to have in a deck with her.

WOKE UP IN THE DESERT AGAIN


I've been running this way more than anything else since hitting pool 3. Someone called it "brainless" or something to that effect earlier and I can't really argue with that.

I purchased Maria Hill because she feeds 1 drops to Lockjaw, allows me to actually play before turn 3 sometimes, and gives the deck some ability to contest The Raft instead of just auto-losing.

But that was probably still a mistake.
