Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
Can I get some input on these decks? I swap between them based on what mood I'm in. I'm sure there's something I can do to improve them that I'm just blind to or don't have the cards to cover.

Move-based deck (would love the Vulture but don't have him)


"Ongoing ability" deck



Also, can someone break down a Jubilee deck? I just pulled her, she seems necessary for a lot of weird decks that I can 8-9/10 cards build.

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.

Speaking of cards that need to eat poo poo. Leader should really be 0 power for how absurd it is.

Cloak?

America Chavez is an option since it increases the chance of drawing your movement cards before turn 6.

Don't have Cloak either unfortunately.. Who would you suggest swapping out for America? I do have her. Also, if I DO find Cloak, where would he go?

Wolf, JJ, Morph, Blue Marvel and Spider-Woman are all good cards but not necessary in most movement decks so they can be swapped out as and when you get more movement cards.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

The Forge > Multiple Man > Hulk Buster combo is really awkward to setup, but can do some crazy work. Especially if you've got Strange for turn 5 and Heimdal for 6.

Note that if you Iron Fist before the Hulk Buster, you'll punt the affected target.

Oh yeah, that's true, things to boost Multiple Man are good. So Okoye and maybe Nakia.

My move deck (that I haven't used in a while) was:

Iron Fist
Nightcrawler

Kraven
Multiple Man
Cloak
Doctor Strange
Vulture
Hulkbuster

Which is why I'm mostly playing Dracjaw at the moment. It's a little bit casino sometimes, but it gives no fucks about Leech and minimal fucks about Leader.

just officially earned 1000 tokens today, only spending $ on the season pass...so it took about 2 and a half weeks (without a full pool 3 collection). actually not as bad as i thought it would be. electro is tempting me but i think i need to hold out for patriot or lockjaw

also, i know it's old news now but the leech/leader deck was definitely what i was looking for this season for climbing, it took me from 70->80 so i'm finally out of the doldrums. i don't have thor so I subbed in wolfsbane for a while but then decided ironheart was better, idk though. for those who don't follow youtube or whatever it's this:

sunspot
scorpion
armor
lizard
thor (or wolfsbane or ironheart)
maximus
shang-chi (or enchantress - i switched to this to counter patriot/zoo which kept crushing me)
white queen
leech
aero
leader
magneto

play sunspot if you got it, protect it with armor, prioritize scorpion as a 2 drop unless you think killmonger is coming, then just get board advantage and drop leader where appropriate. always prefer leader to magneto. aero and magneto lead to some amazing scenarios where you keep yoinking stuff away from wong. white queen is key for seeing if it's the kind of deck you need to leech or whether you can just win on board strength.

Maximus in quite a lot of decks. Next card to get nerfed like Angela was?

This is why I don't like cards getting nerfed too quickly. It leads to other cards getting nerfed too and in the end everything sucks and everybody is unhappy their cards got shafted.

i mean, the downside seems kind of nuts in a game that is as short on +draw cards as Snap (if you play it, your opponent sees all but one of their cards)...but when your deck's gameplan is to wipe out all the opponent's special abilities, the fewer cards they can topdeck, the better...

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.

Just got this one too. It was stupid.

If you think the angela nerf was wrong or premature idk I do not really agree. I also do not see maximus as replacing angela in any way shape or form.

It fucks over some decks though, like Discard which wants an empty hand on T6 for Dracula*, or Strong Guy though he's not widely used

* I just opened Helicarrier and I have no idea who this is for, filling your hand with random stuff is the opposite of what Discard wants to do in this game. Then I learned it's Pool 4, lol. Great luck,

It is wild though, like Adam warlock is a 2/0 that might get you a draw if you can hold the lane. And that’s the only way you can draw from your deck in the whole game! Maximus gives your opponent two free pulls guaranteed.

I mean Discard isn't even that popular, and the real strategy is to play it turn 6 so your opponent doesn't benefit from the draw. Maximus also has the advantage that Silver Surfer is popular, and he fits that archetype.

2 Energy and 3 Energy are a pretty big difference. I think Angela isn't seeing play in decks because a lot of the Newer Cooler Cards require a lot more top-end. She-Hulk, Galactus decks, Silver Surfer etc. all have a very hard time getting her to 6. She's good with Bast I believe.

Idea to make Super Skrull an actual usable card: Change his ability to "On Reveal: Triggers all enemy On Reveal effects, but on your side." Still makes him slightly niche but better than the wet fart he is now.

You gotta accept him for what he is. A card that lowers your winrate but leads to occasional dramatic 8 cube blowouts.

It's not really clear how important draw is. It has the huge benefit of increasing the likelihood of drawing key combo pieces but most people can't play that many cards (drawing a second 6 energy card gives you options but not more power). Most people don't end the game with an empty hand as-is.

Maximus also benefits from Cosmo, certain zones (Lamentis or the one that shuffles at the end of turn 3). And the card draw is irrelevant on 6 which means you can put down 10 power + a powerful utility on 6 (Maximus + Killmonger for example). In early game, especially with a control deck that wants to shut down on-reveal, move cards around etc, Maximus lets you pull ahead on priority.

It's an extremely powerful effect. Without the stats, I'd have a much harder time controlling the board.

I got so sick of seeing them I started running Maximus specifically as a counter to Dracula.

That said, the actual optimal built for it seems to involve all of Ghost Rider, Hela, Dracula, Lockjaw and Hellcow. Which is to say, people who played in Beta get to run it, the bastards.

I've been doing well with Jubilee the last few days. I think this is the deck with the most likes on Marvel Snap Zone and there's a big explanation there. The basics are: do nothing for the first 3 turns other than maybe play Sunspot. If you have Jubilee to play turn 4 you can snap. Turn 5 Dino or skip. If you played turn 5 then Odin Jubilee on 6 to fire her off again (usually overkill) or play another big card and collect your cubes. I have SheHulk so skipping turn 5 let's me drop Dino+SheHulk on 6 for a big surprise. I feel like any of the 5 energy cards could be changed out.

Generally I try to dominate the two lanes my opponent is least focused on. Don't be afraid to retreat if your setup isn't coming together or the locations are bad.

There are about a dozen series 4/5 cards put together and you'll be seeing three of them every day once pool 3 is done. And it'll be at least a month until you can afford a series 5.

You have 1100 tokens and you need 6000 for her. Unless you drop a ton of money it'll take months to get those.

I wouldn't bother. She'll come back around before you get to 6K.
