Well, shit.
Having vastly more success climbing with Kazoo than Devil Dino at rank 70-ish (CL 1300). It's acutally kind of amazing how much power you can dump on the board in turn 6 and people are almost never expecting it. It's great against Leader and even Leech since most of your 1-drops are just bodies really. Just make sure you don't get turn priority going into turn 6 so they can drop a Killmonger after you've jizzed 1-drops everwhere.

Here's the deck if anyon'e curious, but it's pretty standard. I tinkered with Ultron but he's not actually that great, it's not hard to fill the board T6 without him and you end up with more options.

code:
# (1) The Hood
# (1) Ant Man
# (1) Squirrel Girl
# (1) Sunspot
# (1) Iceman
# (1) Nightcrawler
# (1) Blade
# (2) Angela

I have been using a similar deck but with Ultron and for the most part it has been working. Opponents are not really expecting me to flood the board on T6 with Ultron bots that are being powered up by Ka-Zar and Blue Marvel

God drat I just keep getting rolled, I cannot figure out why I’m doing so bad. Went from 50 to 41 since yesterday. I had to take the game off my phone because I started to get really pissed off, time to take a break.

I'm honestly surprised by how many people are thrown off by this; they'll put down a Killmonger to knock off my Sunspot or Iceman that I put down early, only to be left standing there like Vincent Vega when drones fly in at (hopefully) 3 power.

I've only had one person in the last week or so throw a Killmonger at me on T6 to stop my plan

Otherwise like you said it's usually earlier in the match

One out of every 4 reserves is a cosmetic (title, avatar, or variant). Wish they'd mix it up with some card backs at least, that's the one thing I always wish I had more of.

The game is just like that sometimes. Every opponent is going to have an answer for you. You're going to have the perfect card that gets hit by Iceman right before you were going to play it. If you get your ideal combo and drop 30 points in two lanes the opponent is going to get THEIR perfect combo that still beats you.

When you get really tilted you're going to make sloppy mistakes and burn through cubes because surely you're not gonna have ANOTHER game where the opponent drops their perfect combo on turn 6 (they will). Definitely the right move to just take a break.

My favorite one of these 'sometimes lady luck just fucks you' moments lately was facing a Move deck that managed to draw a second Heimdall from The Raft. After they dropped one on T5 (had the -1 cost location as well) I thought I was safe to snap, but noooooooope.

Anyone know if the Cache/Reserves are predetermined when you reach the level or it's randomly chosen once you decide to open it? The event almost make me feel to hold onto reserves or leveling up for events like this.

Determined when you reach them. You can hoard credits if you want, but there's a limit (10k now I believe?)

So I have been (un)lucky and have received both Maria Hill and Agent Coulson over the course of the past few weeks via caches. Now that Nick Fury is coming out I’ve decided that the universe is trying to tell me something, so I’ve decided to make an Agents of Shield deck. What do you guys think? I am using mystique instead of taskmaster to copy Devil Dinosaur, but I have access to Taskmaster as well.

Yea I’ve lost by playing killmonger early enough that I just play him no earlier than turn 5 if I don’t have correct priority turn 6. Especially since ultron is never expected

Brood's not even that useful without Surfer, otherwise just grab all the non powered cards you can. Mystique, Onslaught, or Blue Marvel also help

I was lucky enough to open Shuri. Ramping into 4 with Psylocke then playing Shuri/Mary or Mary/Enchantress feels pretty great. I was thinking of throwing in Wong too, but that seems pretty greedy.

Also, multiple man not being able to go back to the "can't place cards here on 3,4,5" location is bullshit, he clearly never left!!

After a slump, dropping 10 ranks im rising back up steadily.

People running Wong decks too often snap when they play him.

This game I had 2 Aeros and priority and just pulled anything away:



This game he used scarlet witch and changed it to Klyntar, changing his Wong into a symbiote. Not sure why he didnt retreat:



Where Wong is really scary is in a Negative deck where they can play a combo in one turn.

It's based on play order. Oldest-played cards are moved first.

This is also how Heimdall works.

I'm not 100% about the math, but refreshing missions seems to be the best use of gold for earning credits.
