I just won like 3 games in a row with Hobgoblin Once I lucked out because I thought my opponent filled their location but it turned out they were playing Venom, so they destroyed all of their cards and then my Hobgoblin neutralized the Venom card completely

Yeah the ones that cost 1200 in the shop are. There are plenty of cool ones in the 700 range though. Also reposting as a general PSA because it was news to me -- your "progress" towards getting special treatments that require upgrading a card to Infinity multiple times is shared across variants. So you could split Hellcow twice for a foil background and sparkle effects, then open a variant and just split it once for a chance at that sweet golden Pixel Hellcow.

Debrii works pretty well in Patriot decks. She gives you two tokens that get buffed by Patriot and she clogs up your opponent's board a little. She's not game-breaking or anything but I can't see myself removing her from my deck.

Waiting for my last 1k token card to eat my initial supply but I feel like I've gotten some shenanigans diversity out of waiting for the cards from Wave 3 that I consider the most fun. Wondering if I should regret not grabbing Doc Ock when he passed through my shop this morning. edit: that said, She-Hulk is no joke and she's definitely worth the 3k all on her ownsome.

I really like Debrii in the Death+Surfer deck I've been playing recently but she could use a little stat boost IMO. There are a lot of 3-energy/4-power cards that are pure upside, and with the symmetrical nature of her effect I don't think she needs to be at 3/3.

As a Patriot player, please delete this post  The trick is to spread Patriot/Ka-Zar/BM if possible so that a single Enchantress/Rogue doesn't kill you. The disadvantage is that the Ultron lane will be a bit weaker, but that's what your other vanillas are for

I played Patriot on 5 once right before a Leech drop, so he was unharmed and the cards left in my hand were all Patriot friendly, and now I'm going to drop Patriot T5 for the rest of my life to my detriment

I just assume every Patriot user is going to put Mystique down next to him the next turn (t4 if things are going well for their draw), so Enchantress gets double value if you don't have priority. It seems like most zoo type decks tend to have priority since they have some power everywhere early. ^ I think it works to complain about a card here and get it in your shop or next cache. So I also hate leader (and Wong and Debrii and Juggernaut and Ultron).

It's probably just the brutality of the ladder but I feel like I am being consistently punished for playing my decks that are good. Feel like the meta has rotated against Arnim Zola/Wong/any turn 5 or 6 combo because I've seen so much Aero, Juggernaut, Leech, and Rogue today.wyoak posted:Leader needs a nerf I got frustrated playing meta and broke out my Hazmat Luke Cage deck and had two enemy Leaders today copy my Hazmat on turn 6 for an even bigger punish

It seems like most zoo type decks tend to have priority since they have some power everywhere early. I don't have Mystique so I can't comment there. With Ultron as a finisher, power on board is a bit secondary, but it does mean it's vulnerable to Prof X.

I've been running this and I'm not sure what I'd swap out for those two: quote:# (1) Squirrel Girl The idea here is that I can play Zero into either Lizard or Mary for some big numbers relative to the power cost, and if the draw order doesn't work out then all the vanilla cards make it pretty easy to slot in Zero regardless, as 3 power for 1 energy is not nothing

I don't think it encourages good strategic play, I'd be happy if it was removed, or maybe cost-reduced and limited to the lane it's played in.

Scrap Dragon posted:What does a Patriot deck with Kazar and BM look like? I've been running this and I'm not sure what I'd swap out for those two: This is what I've been running code:Patriot alone is a bit like Ka-Zar for vanillas, he's OK with one or two, but the more the merrier. The way I see it, you benefit more from going wide. Ultron is your plan A, the drones become 5 power with everything online. Debrii would probably be as good a plan B as Doom, but other than that, Mystique and Brood would be the other cards I'd be looking at, with Brood helping you go a bit tall rather than wide

 They and I both Storm'd T3 and I figured, "gently caress it, let's end this now" and Absorbing man'd T4. They were trying to miracle Jubilee for something to lock out the lane but obviously failed and retreated. While not cube gatherers, these games are fun.  I love when Jubilee helps me. Jubilee pulled Wave so I could play Sera a turn early. They played Leader to grab my Sera thinking they were cool as hell for that move I bet, I just used Rogue to not just steal her back but make it so I could play my whole loving hand with double Sera T6. Jugg to knock them off their panic Maximus and Scarlet Witch off center and safely to a lane I'm already gonna lose and I put up numbers. (I believe the lane was Kamar Taj before their Witch hit.

I kinda quit this game because snapping and surrendering are such a big part of the climb but most of the fun is seeing degenerate stuff happen. If we're supposed to retreat every time what's the point?

Goddammit. Wong is in my shop but I really want Sera and Patriot. Only sitting on 1700 tokens *but* I'll probably spend all my saved gold on the sunspot bundle. Should still probably save the tokens for she-hulk or at least something less telegraphed.

Vulpes posted:I find Leader so loving confusing when both sides play one. It seems like you just end up with Leaders randomly spewed all over the place and I always lose. It's not random. Each Leader creates another Leader that repeats the process, so you both just fill the lane in which your opponent played a Leader with more Leaders. Whoever had the most free spaces gets the most Leaders. The tricky part comes when Leader is discounted or Limbo is in play, so that something else can be played alongside it. Then priority can matter. Say I played Leader left and you played Leader (free from the Raft) mid and Green Goblin left, and those are the only cards in both lanes. If I have priority I fill my mid lane with Leaders and send three Goblins across to you. You don't get anything because I filled the lane where you would have got Leaders, but your Goblin does come over to me and I believe I keep one for myself from the fourth Leader in mid. If you have priority then - assuming you played Goblin first - you send Goblin over to me then put four Leaders in left. I fill the mid with Leaders as before, but fill the left with Goblins that I can't pass over because the lane is now full. (If you played Leader first then you get three Leaders in left and then we trade one Goblin each way.) KongGeorgeVII posted:Goddammit. Wong is in my shop but I really want Sera and Patriot.

If you know you're buying the Sunspot bundle then you can pick up Wong from the shop. Along with the bundle your next 12 boxes will provide enough tokens for a Series 4 card.

Oh for sure, but if I don't then I can pick up either Sera or Patriot when they pop up instead. Wong seems fun and very powerful but also super easy to shutdown or retreat from so not great for climbing.
