Mr.PayDay posted:Do you use She Hulk as well? No I don’t have her. I just use Sunspot, Lizard and Storm to win one location, with Armor for protection, then Scorpion to be an rear end in a top hat, and win the other location with Infinaut. Maybe some people think I’m a dumb bot - I’ve had more than a few snap me back in the last round.

It's laughably transparent how your chance of a new card just gets cut in half at 1000 CL. It's not even after you've hit a card collection threshold or anything. Just "okay after this arbitrary amount of loot boxes we're turning the dial down".

Having the biggest trouble climbing, and then you run into opponents that snap when they are 'winning' on the board, but: * they don't have a huge or even big lead * this is a 7 turn game * they have filled all their spots (including a 0-power silver surfer on the space throne) * I still have space left (including said space throne) Has to be a bot right?

I once a enemy Cable's animation glitch out for half a second so I knew my opponent got my Jubilee. However, this Twitch clip is even more special.

If the rate of getting new cards was even across collection levels, being at the beginning would be a much worse experience. Frontloading acquisition reduces the pain of being at the start of a pool, but the result is arbitrary thresholds where the rate changes.

I mean, isn't that the formula for every phone game ever? Progress is a rocket car early on in order to get you invested, and then once you're hooked it slows things down in order to tempt you to start spending money because the next upgrade is right there. I will say that personally, I think Snap has been a little better about this since it's at least easing you into the mechanics of the game as you progress to where everything "really" begins. I've downloaded plenty of games that just throw new feature after new feature at you without ever actually explaining what they do, just a mandatory "click here, now click here" tutorial section designed to shunt you to the next gate that keeps you away from the real game.

I've got Arnim Zola in the shop right now and I'm kind of going back and forth on him. My pool 3 collection is getting pretty solid at this point but there are still a few more generally useful cards like Aero and Sera that I'm missing. I also don't think I'd particularly enjoy the playstyle of the Black Panther deck that runs him, but I am itching to play Mr. Negative and I know he's a good payoff card there. Buy it or pass? These are the pool 3 cards I don't have at this point. I'm thinking probably pass; I will likely hold out for one of the cards mentioned above or Cerebro because that deck looks really fun to me. Also I randomly opened my first series 4 card and it was Agent Coulson -- doesn't seem too exciting but I guess you stick him with Collector and Quinjet and the other SHIELD cards? I do not have Quinjet yet either.

I hate seeing cards in the token shop that I constantly get beaten by because I want to buy them but I have my mind set on other cards that would be more generally useful. Taskmaster's in the shop now but I'm holding out for Wave, Mystique, and/or Mr Negative as two of those three would round out a couple of workhorse decks I have. Really mad at myself now for passing up on Brood a couple days ago since my Surfer deck has quickly risen to the top of my usage.

I'm pretty new to the game despite playing the beta. I bounced off it pretty hard originally, not sure why exactly, but decided to give it another chance this week and got hooked. Threw together a deck that has only failed me a couple times in my last 20 or so matches, which surprises the hell out of me. Basically just reliant on White Tiger surprising the opponent at a weakly defensed spot or Spectrum/Odin buffing a team into turning the tide. Open to suggestions and criticism of babby's first super squad.

I'll generally fill a spot with something like Quicksilver, Cap, and a pair of Sinisters so its full up, Mr Fantastic and Medusa in the middle, then ignore a spot or drop someone solo like Colossus or Punisher so they're focusing on the other two spaces. White Tiger comes out near the end, the tigers can't spawn in the same spot as her, so it will always go to the zone that needs shoring up. Then Odin or Spectrum show up, and I either get a second tiger there or buff up everyone else. BUT like I said - early days for me and I don't have Wong unfortunately. Could all fall apart soon.

You may want to consider swapping Quicksilver for Ant Man if you really want a 1 drop. It's a good switch to help you realize that that 1s are useful anytime from turn 1 to turn 6 plus since he's ongoing, he gets boosted by Spectrum.

it is pretty neat how the meta changes as you go up pools, and I miss that a bit. if you have an all pool 1 or 1+2 deck it should put you back in that matchmaking pool imo

As you get more cards and experience I'd recommend going all in on either Reveal or Ongoing, to get the most out of your Odin/Spectrum. Because you can back out of games where you didn't draw well, and bet big when you're set up for success, you can specialize instead of trying to cover both bases

Spectrum+Mr Fantastic isn't a whole lot of support, and he's got anti-synergy with White Tiger. Maybe for Jessica Jones? You lose the Spectrum buff, but otherwise she does basically the same thing while also being tiger friendly and just generally more flexible.

However I would probably drop Quicksilver and Medusa, add in Ant-Man and maybe Nightcrawler. It's not the end of the world if you don't have a turn 1 play, and you're not going to always draw your cards on curve so occasionally having an extra 1-drop to fill in the gaps is helpful. Other cards worth consideration are Lizard (great stats, gets the Spectrum buff, works nicely with Punisher) and then Armor once all your opponents start running Killmonger.

My brief experience with Cerebro is that there are so many locations that can mess you up. And even if you've got Scarlet Witch, Rhino or Storm in your deck to change that, it won't stop a location like Wakandan Embassy. Or if the opponent plays Scorpion. Or if X-Mansion gives you Okaye... I'm making it it sound worse than it probably is, just know that you'll be in situations that will make playing your deck a lot trickier and sometimes are instant retreats, more so than with most other decks. I'll give the 2 power Cerebro deck a shot once I get Goose, but until then that helmet will be gathering dust in my collection.

I don't have Cerebro yet but would a Cerebro deck with Luke Cage fix most of the location issues? Obviously you'd still need Storm or Witch to unfuck location like Xandar but it seems like Cage would be a good pair to keep your power in line.

Honestly I just have a Storm in my deck and that's enough for me, it's rare that you'll have more than one "gently caress you" location. Every once in a while you run into a situation that just can't be fixed but then you just bail at turn 3 and lose a cube. If you play around it until one of you snaps your opponent may end up erasing that location as well.
