It does, which tbqh is kind of funky, since I don't believe other cards get destroyed when a destroy ability is used and their face down? Weird to see a card that isn't technically played still get destroyed. Card Games :shepicide:

Ok the game hosed up earlier somehow and cost me a win

I had Wolfsbane down on a location with three other cards there, and at the end of the game the card’s power was still stuck at 1

Interesting interaction that just lost me 8 cubes, Wong - Black Panther - Arnim Zola. Even if Zola moves Wong first, the game still fires Zola's effect again, so you end up with two 64 power BPs at each other location (since they double twice again thanks to Wong).

Hard to tell if this is even working as intended given the inconsistencies in some of the mechanics. But it doesn't 'feel' right.

I run this on purpose along with White Tiger and Odin and call it Big Cats.

I've been playing this She-Hulk + Death deck and really enjoying it. Any suggestions to change anything up? Yondu is not my favorite as it can potentially be beneficial for the opponent but it also helps get Death out.

Also are there any good strategies for Wave? In this deck I can use her on turn 5 to mess with opponent combo decks and also allow me to do both She-Hulk and Death on 6. It seems like there's some cases when I would potentially like to Wave turn 3 and Leader turn 4 to catch them playing a big card early. What other big brain plays am I not thinking about?

Replace the Nova with The Hood and you're running the She-Hulk Baero deck from the current tier list.

Nah colossus was face up which is why it was so crazy. I'm guessing the game DOES NOT apply rules from a card when said card is moved before a location/other cards.

I run an interesting variant on the Deathwave list where I have Death and Moon Girl to get two Deaths, and try to go for the full 9 kills in a game. It might be interesting to stick She-Hulk into that (I don't have her).

The list:

(1) The Hood
(1) Squirrel Girl
(1) Nova
(1) Yondy
(2) Bucky Barnes
(2) Carnage
(3) Debrii
(3) Killmonger
(3) Deathlok
(4) Moon Girl
(6) America Chavez
(9) Death

I've nicknamed it 'Death and the Maiden'. It does fall a bit flat if you don't draw Killmonger, but it's fun when it goes off.

That seems buggy! Part of Colossus's Ongoing ability is that he can't be moved. Did something turn off his Ongoing before you played Aero?

If the Aero player has priority they'll move the Colossus before it flips, which is consistent with other interactions -- the ongoing ability isn't active until then

I don't have Luke or Wong, so I've been running Kill/Destroyer Hazmat. Destroyer is just a vacuum cleaner that fixes my awful board state.



Opponent snapped when they played X into a won board. I then cleared out my -1 rock in the sanctum and turned bucky into a useful critter lmao.

After playing for a couple weeks I'm still enjoying the game a lot but my two big negatives so far compare to other CCG/TCGs are:

Knowing that I see 75% of my deck a game and not drawing my key cards is far more tilting than getting mana screwed in magic or not hitting my curve in HS etc

It sucks I can't work towards the decks I wanna play! That Luke Cage - Hazmat deck looks like so much fun, but as I'm CL400 and I'm assuming those are season 4/5 cards I'm literally thousands of levels away of being able to play them, that feels bad!

This is, without a doubt, the most pronounced problem with a game. New players can look at all these cool cards being released but they are beyond unobtainable. When a new set comes out in MTG or Hearthstone, you can go buy a few packs or direct purchase the big hits. In this game, though, there are only two ways to obtain the newest (non-season pass) cards, and they suck;

1. a 0.25% chance to drop from Collectors Caches and Reserves
2. a 12.5 chance to appear in the token shop for 6000 Collectors Tokens

And keep in mind, that's for a chance of a random card out of a pool of ~10. Of course, eventually, these cards will work their way down to Pool 3, but the current timeline for that is five weeks. For a new or casual player, there is currently no viable path to playing the deck they want, and it's a crapshoot if they'll get the cards required for any decent deck, at all.

The game needs a much better system for players to target and acquire their desired cards. At the very least, something like the token shop should offer a rotating selection of three cards rather than one.

It's definitely been the biggest problem with the game for me. I've been playing on and off, but I seriously can't get too into it because my only deck options are some kind of ongoing deck with Spectrum or a reveal deck with Odin. In literally any other card game, by this point I'd get enough packs/dust for a budget version of whatever archetype I want, here my only option is to get hosed I guess. Gotta keep playing with Odin because I keep finding cards like Uatu, or opening a Deathlok and just really wishing I had enough cards to make a destroy deck work.

Tried this with Korg instead of Debrii (don't have) and Deadpool instead of The Hood (same) and climbed a couple of ranks. Lost big time to Turn 6 Shang Chi after I had two 0-cost Deaths in play. Lesson learned - save them till turn 6 rather than let my opponent see card strength early. Obvious in hindsight but keep Shang Chi in mind, if you don't already.

And more to the point, there is no ability to choose what you buy. It's all FoMO rotating shops bullshit. Like, dropping cash on card games is a storied tradition, but at least in others, you can pick your purchase.

Also, question, can bots snap? Cause this really looks like a bot. I guess maybe it could be a human, and he just didn't read the locations.

This isn't always the right move, if you're seeing the Leech Leader deck you might want to get Death out on 5 instead of 6.

Yes, bots snap. From the screenshot, that looks like a bot. They have gold foil and black/white cards with no other effects. For a real player to get those backgrounds, they need to split the card multiple times which would guarantee some other effect.

I think it's usually correct to wait as long as possible since a lot of the decks that run Leech also include Shang-Chi. It has the additional upside of denying information, which is always good.

Not only can bots snap, they will always snap if they are winning two locations on turn 4 or 5.
