I’ve seen Ego three times and I’m CL 2050. He plays awful but I’m 3-0 there (2 games we both immediately snapped, the 3rd I snapped and my opponent waited until t6 to retreat, the coward.

Unrelated, the best feeling in this game is Rogue stealing a critical Ongoing from an opponent to get you the win. On the other hand, sometimes she steals Armor.

I respectfully disagree. It’s dropping an enchantress on a Wong when you reveal first and they dropped a Mystique on it.

Would you like to play a game?



I would really like to run a decent discard deck, but I have yet to unlock Hela, Ghost Rider, Death, or Dracula yet. Racked up a bunch of credits earlier tonight but my unlocks were like Invisible Woman, Mysterio, Dr Octopus, and maybe one other.

For me, it's having Morph copy an Infinaut and inducing a rage quit.

In a match earlier today, Sakaar was the first location. It pulled a Gambit for them, and my Morph. Who copied Xavier. A first turn rage quit, and I didn't even do anything! Hours later, I'm still giddy about it.

So...is Rogue stealing only one power on the lane that my Wong is in a bug? Or is it working as intended? Or is this some sort of "card can only have one ability at a time" limit?

I HEX YE!!!


Yeah she takes one power only, same with Mystique's copying ability.

I just had a match where me and the other guy just spammed "aaarrggghh!" at each other the whole time, more games need that button

Ego just played the opponent's Kingpin turn 3 and Cloak on Turn 5, then proceeded to attempt to move 4 of my cards into Kingpin's lane on Turn 6. Come on! lol

I hate how it doesn't even try to play properly. I had Ego with several options in hand play Mystique on an empty board, not even on the "+2 power to cards" location. Why.

Because Ego is completely random. So is Agatha, except that she will play herself if possible. (Ego trumps Agatha, though.)

Can someone help me understand WTF happened here?



His turn 4 was Blade (discarding Swarm) and Sword Master (discarding Apoc.)

My turn 4 was White Queen, and somehow she gave me Swarm? Huh?

I think you're misremembering the sequence of events, because middle is still Flooding and not yet Flooded on turn 5, which means Storm was played turn 4.

So Sword Master discards Apoc on turn 3, and Apoc gets shuffled into the deck by Attilan.

So I just got to 590 and I have a movement deck that’s been doing pretty well. How much cred should I have before I upgrade to series 3, and what cards should I be looking out for when I do? Here is my deck:

# (1) Nightcrawler
# (2) Kraven
# (2) Multiple Man
# (2) Cloak

Yeah, gently caress Ultron, there's very little you can do about him.
Maybe I get lucky and the board state is in such a way that hitting him with Aero disrupts something, but more often than not, it's just "lol, you lose.

What're good all star filler cards for decks? I've got a fair few starts of archetypes for move+discard+self destroy that I only have like 6-8 of the pieces for that I want to throw filler into and have something playable.

At least he's usually telegraphed enough that he can be Killmongered. Then it's a battle to make sure they have priority.

Yeah this will give you a cube if you play against me, even with spreading stuff out, all the buffs already are fairly thin, and I don't have Mystique so losing Patriot means it's unlikely I'll pull it out. Goes-second Killmonger also does it, but game's over by then

It's fun when you get the free cube and haven't played a single card



In other news after a seemingly unending card drought Mystique popped up in my shop and I pulled Psylocke making some more decks viable.

It's great because seemingly the only meta deck I could play was deathwave/shulk and it was getting boring, plus the deck gets crushed by leader which everyone was running.

I've been sitting on the Mr Negative deck since surfer came out and it slaps with Psylocke so I'm stoked

Being able to switch between Ultron and onslaught makes it flexible and has frustrated a few late killmonger attempts.

I think I'm gonna switch out Hood though. Maybe Wolfsbane??

Think the game is telling me to take another break, on a losing streak I'm finally having a good match, they drop Wong, I have Enchantress in hand... Except my deck was replaced with random cards, I draw Agatha, who plays Enchantress on an empty location.

My goal for the season was to hit 60. I switched to the Leech/Leader list and I'm at 82 now with a legit chance to hit 90 before the season ends. I wish there was a speech emote for after a match that said "Unironically, I know and I'm sorry. I also hope they nerf Leader." Although it is fun when the other person plays Leader too and I still win.

An Ultron that will beat you is pretty easy to predict, they’ve got patriot and probably Mystique on the board and a couple of empty-ish lanes

If you’ve got priority Enchantress (preferably already on the board), Aero, or Cosmo (or yeah Rogue forgot about her) can win the game, and if you don’t Killmonger can too, or you retreat

Patriot decks have given me the most trouble so far when playing Leader. My deck is missing some key pieces, but I don't think anything on my wishlist would help. Ultron isn't even required in a lot of situations. Patriot/Mystique not interacting with anything on the Leader side is nice, but honestly, I think Debrii is the best tool that deck has. Cludging up 3/12 slots with often useless rocks is huge against most decks.
