I guess. I don't really care unless I'm like a game or two away from the next ranked reward, cubes come and go with the wind in this game.

Hooking whales is how free-to-play games operate. Maybe try to enjoy what it is rather than whinging about what it isn't.

And either way if I didn't care about rank.. that's still fun. I thought Prof X was a joke card until he carried a ton of games during a stretch of farming 25 credit upgrades.

If you can't embrace being a "casual" as needed, Then become the Joker and introduce a little anarchy to the meta. Stick Doc Ock in every deck. Win or lose, it'll be interesting.

Got Nick Fury from a collectors cash. This card doesn't seem to be great in the sense of winning games regularly. It does create hilarity though. Played a game with superflow left, so I dropped fury on turn 4. Fury gave me both Galactus and Knull, and of course the left lane is empty. I drop Galactus turn 5 in that lane. My opponent drops nothing. I'm expecting Infinaut turn 6. Well, he drops Infinaut and two she hulks - which makes sense, he passed on a 6 energy round. Fortunately, Knull had 38 (thirty-eight), plus 3 from Galacus, so I win 41-40 to get 8 cubes because I think that's literally the only thing in the game that could have won against what he played as I had priority. Knull and Galactus are each extremely stupid. And I am stupid because somehow I forgot to screenshot that.

WOWWWWWWWW. I know the bots cheat sometimes but holy poo poo. Just had a match where they played a Guardians deck and LITERALLY NEVER MISSED. They skipped everytime I skipped and played maximum amount of guardians on any lane I played on. Like I understand getting lucky and I understand kettling your opponent into playing only certain lanes but this was wayyyyyyy too on the nose to call it anything but direct bot cheating. Their entire play was just the Guardians cards and Spiderwoman at the end.

The bots play with your cards face up. Permanent Daredevil, basically. They also know the results of all RNG events before they happen, and play accordingly. They have different decks, and sometimes it doesn't play to those abilities. Guardians sure does though, ouch.

You have to play a T4 Psylocke and then float all 6 energy on T5 in order to play them both on T6, and at that point you've basically skipped two turns which can make it really hard to win without a very big Sunspot

Banjo Bones posted:Just opened She Hulk. Can she be good in a deck without Death? I have Wave. Then you're fine. Wave generally doesn't allow for She-Hulk and Death and a 6-drop anyway as the deck is not built to consistently kill four cards. Shulkie is your backup plan for the times you couldn't kill two, or you just don't draw Death.

It's possible to build a Deathwave that tries to go for 9 kills and use Moon Girl to drop two Deaths and an America Chavez. It involves Squirrel Girl, Killmonger, Debrii, and various other destroy staples. List = (1) Yondu (1) Squirrel Girl (1) The Hood (1) Nova (2) Carnage (2) Bucky Barnes (3) Killmonger (3) Deathlok (3) Debrii (4) Moon Girl (6) America Chavez (9) Death

The degree to which the stars need to line up for you to kill enough card to get Desth to zero and also hold Wave, She Hulk and something else big in time for 5 and 6 makes this dream play unlikely but exciting when it happens. The other plays like She Hulk and something big or She Hulk and Death or Desh and something big are all still perfectly good plays.

Victor Vermis posted:Eh. I hope they never introduce another play mode or make it any easier to gain cards. I spent 10 bux the month before last, so maybe my experience is biased (thought I doubt it- since I've never even used Miles in a deck), but I wish more free to play games took the same approach. The Snap mechanic makes it even easier to duck out of a game for minimal loss (if you care about that) if you can suss out their whale-gorged end-game. And then they get mad and spend more. Huzzah. Okay. I think the card acquisition sucks, especially once the game takes the mask off after the first dozen hours. And my original post was that it sucks to just be constantly running into hot 3 and 4 tier cards that you don't have, while you watch your "Progress to the next card" line slowly fill up and then give you just more credits. You seem to have confused that with a complaint about Ranked mode which wasn't my point.

When I played Clash Royale I was a fan of the draft game modes where you had to create a deck on the fly from a restricted choice of cards as well as the classic deck types where you and your opponent would each be given a random viable deck and allowed to fight it out. I could see something like that being fun here when they introduce friendly battles.

I really need to stop putting Patriot on Klyntar, holy poo poo. By then I've also probably snapped which makes it even worse. (Half of the time I still win with the follow-up Mystique, which is interesting for 2 reasons: Mystique works even if the previous card is gone, and Patriot decks are ridiculous.)

For some odd reason, Agent 13 keeps giving me galactus whenever I play her, but luckily I have got this strategy of putting all my cards into two of the zones and leaving the thrird one empty, which baits the other players and then winning the whole match on turn 6 with an out of the blue galactus. I bet because there would be no reason to have him in my hand otherwise (as I am just playing with my own odd cards that I like how they look rather than any synergy) as to why this keeps working. Strange that Agent 13 keeps handing it to me though.

Banjo Bones posted:Just opened She Hulk. Can she be good in a deck without Death? I have Wave. I'm in the same boat, have She Hulk and Wave but missing Death. I found Wave pretty underwhelming and unnecessary with just She-Hulk - often helping your opponent more than your own gameplan unless you're doing something really disgusting. Running a deck now that aims to go Moon Girl, Skip, 2xShe-Hulk+2x Nova+Carnage. More often it's 2xShe-Hulk+Silver Queen. Most of the rest of the deck is proactive so I can drop cards turns 1-3 to line up Moon Girl and create a board for Nova.

Wave on T5 is really good if you're doing single drops and they're looking to vomit the board to end the game. If you see a bunch of low powered drops (especially 3 drops right now or very little through the first 4 turns, drop Wave.

There's so much teching against T5 wave with all the leeches and leaders and galactussy. Right now I want to have the fattest T5 play possible (and preferably one that's resilient to leech, so not dino) but that honor goes to Zero decks and I don't own zero. I don't have faith in my gamora skills so I'm not sure what other fat T5 options there are.

I guess in this case, Patriot still has his effect, he's just not on the board anymore. Yeah, that sort of makes sense, because her wording is: "If the last card you played has an Ongoing ability, this card gains it." And if he gets enchanted, he no longer has an ongoing ability. It would be different if it was "If the last card you played had an Ongoing ability, this card gains it." But getting turned into a symbiote doesn't mean he's destroyed, otherwise Armor would stop it, which it doesn't. So logically, he's just transformed/merged into a symbiote, losing his ability in the process, which means Mystique shouldn't really work either.

Leech deck loses to “dumbly out good stats through to turn 5”. If you are ahead on board when they invest a full turn on Leech, then all that’s really left is to think about where they’ll put Leader.
