been running leader all day and getting crushed by patriot, surfer and mr negative decks, down to 94...are people actually winning with him in the high ranks? Missing dracula/patriot/brood/mr negative is really crushing me right now, I feel like they're all I see

And/Or Shang-Chi. The amount of times a well-timed Cosmo has given me 4 or 8 cubes are well worth the time he's at worst a 3/3. Shang-Chi too, I once sniped a Dino on turn 6 before Arnim deleted him, it was magical.

Pre-CL600, I've just been using t6 drop decks and destroy decks with control options to just hoover up cubes all day. First time I reach 90. Every other pre-600 deck is just way too predictable: On Going, Move, Infinauts, Dinos, all of them are way to easy to know when they hit their win conditions and are retreat magnets. Best thing is that if I use my destroy control deck, I can hundred percent bait dino decks when they do their obvious Moon Girl into t5 dino.

Hit your rank goals for this season then level. No cushion will get you a big percentage of pool 3 so it doesnt really matter how much you save and is up to you.

I went to infinite then leveled and spent a few weeks kissing that sweet rank 100 floor.

It'll be easier for sure if you're below 600.

The credit cap is 10k, which is 200 CL worth. In the 200 CL from 598-798 I got 12 cards, it's not a ton. Early pool 3 is kind of annoying no matter what, unless you get some extremely lucky pulls you won't have enough to fill out various archetypes. Just gotta wait for that slow drip.

It has a whole lot of filler because I'm only CL200ish still, I'd swap out all the 3 drops with better cards. Namor was also filler but has won me a bunch of games by himself.

Just stuffing cards into your hand mostly. It's not perfect but any game I get Collector on 2 or 3, Moongirl on 4 and DD on 5+6 has been a total blowout

Snapping on turn 6 when you’re well ahead but don’t draw your payoff card is a great way to convince your opponent to retreat.

The decks Leader preys on were suppressing a whole other set of decks. “Don’t do anything meaningful and then with the final turn when they can’t interact” is also not a great play pattern.

I think it’s likely to get nerfed because it is super unfun to lose to your own cards and Leader fits into so many decks as a single card solution to the big stats combo decks. Leader makes it a 5 turn game since the final turn is a foregone conclusion. I hope they find a better solution. But until they do, there are lots of options for beating Leader.

Devil Dino comes down on 5 while they are playing a 3 power card. Silver Surfer if you play surfer on 5. Discard decks if you have Dracula. Any number of “good stuff” mid range decks that are ahead coming out of 5. Cerebero if you have it. Zoo if you get your boosters down by 5.

I am doing fine with a control deck that grabs initiative and holds it so the final turn doesn’t matter so much.

I'm sure there's better ways to do it, but it's versatile and has some great highs with Rogue hijacking opposing Wongs.

I skip Namor unless there's a good location for him.
I like this, but I had to switch Sinister out for Scarlet Witch, since the former wasn't really doing much of anything.

I'm having a surprising amount of luck climbing in pool 2 with Strong Guy, of all people. I don't think people expect to see him actually used properly, and when I can drop an Iron Man and Blade in turn 6 to clear my hand, the board shifts a ton and they never expected that lonely strong guy to suddenly kill the devil dino

Hela just needs company. I run 5-6 6 drops in my Hela Lockjaw deck and still take 50/50 shots on turn 1 sometimes when I run Blade. It makes the decision to bail on an early snap so much easier.

But I also like early indicators since I'm comfortable plodding along at a .28 cube average per game. This is 342 games with my Hela deck, ranks 40ish to 64:

I bought her (LOL) and ran her in Hela Lockjaw for a bit since she's 2 Lockjaw treats while also only being 1 sub-optimal Lockjaw poop in the deck.

I have since removed her since even Lockjaw fodder needs to contribute on reveal, and putting a Gast in my hand is NOT contributing.

Vormir’s literal text is bugged. If your opponent plays on it, their card is destroyed and the text turns black, much like other Locations that have spent their ability. Except if you then play a card on it later, it will then trigger and destroy it.

may or may not have lost because of testing whether the text or ability is bugged.

Yep. It takes 5-10 seconds to resolve the first card being destroyed. Bucky in particular takes awhile to respawn as Winter Soldier, but in general any card takes awhile. Really annoying.

Up 34 cubes tonight with this in mid 60 ranks. Not an ideal fit with the current location but Jubilee plays well with it and Hela/Dr. Doom can always squeeze stats into hard to reach places if you choose to just ignore it.

Helicarrier has been fun sometimes but probably isn't much better than the Magneto I ran before.

If I had Dracula I would definitely include him.
