I haven’t really been spending any gold on variants, is the Winter Wonderland bundle (Sunspot and other junk) good value for 6000 gold? Or should I stop being a butthole and start grabbing variants?

yes, it's a decent rate for the credits alone, the 2000 tokens are a big deal, and the rest is gravy.

Alright, got my carefully crafted deck, let's play some Snap. "Replace your deck with 10 random cards." ... well at least it can't get any worse. "Draw 3 cards and destroy your deck." gently caress off.

The collector's tokens are the equivalent of what you'd gain from advancing 960 CLs on the track, so pretty significant-- up to you if that's worth it

I wish the game would stop advertising the Sunspot bundle since it's not on sale anymore. It's not in the store on Android anyway. This line in the sand bundle is tempting, but I don't think I want to spend $20 for Spider Man and Sandman.

I made it to Rank 40 tonight! I've been using the extremely basic support deck I posted earlier. Having multiple 4 and 5 cost cards for multiple win conditions seems to work well.

Yeah I've purchased it already but it still shows up right below the Spider-Man bundle (which is a much worse deal unless you just really like the anime variants)

You can't see the Sunspot bundle until you're CL 500 or higher.

Edit: of, if you're over it just says SOLD, yeah.

I decided to buy it as a season pass player who has been saving up gold. It was well worth the CL boost and it was a lot of fun upgrading card after card after card. Thanks to opening so many caches I also recieved the winter vacation varient of Patriot, Rogue, Rock Slide, and Abomination.

That said, even unlocking a bunch of new cards didn't save me from a bad week and dropping rank from 63 to 55. Seemed like no matter what deck I played my opponents always had answers. I went through something similar at the start of this season too though and eventually turned things around.

I've worked my way back to 57 again and am trying to slow down, think, and pay better attention to how I'm playing.

Losing that many ranks, especially when my decks had solid hands or strong last turn plays only to still lose, has sure made me gun shy about snapping though.

Even with the bundle that is insane luck. There's a 5% chance of opening one every 4 reserves.

You could by spending a chunk of gold to buy credits and accelerate your CL growth. Of course, the bundle itself costs 6,000 gold, which you're unlikely to have unless you've already spent a fair bit.

Just got to lvl 90 for the first time on the back of my Galactus deck. gently caress yeah!

No Death or Knull, the highest power cards are Gamora and Magneto.

I lose slightly more than I win, but I concede quite a lot so I guess the cube loss is limited in games I would've lost anyway. (But I probably don't snap enough too.)

Yeah I don't have Knull but I do run Gamora in place of Knull in my Galactus deck and she helps a ton, but I still have to bail on a bunch of games where the opponent isn't backing down and and I have priority on T6.

2 times I lost to Galactus yesterday I bumped into a version that would like to run Green and Hob goblin in the same lane followed by a T6 Galactus [:doh:]

Had a great game just now:

Turn 5 we both play Galactus in the same lane. After some mutual admiration of our variants (they had the Lifebringer, I have the darkest one), I played Shang Chi and Hulkbuster, because they had priority and I thought that surely someone with such an exquisite taste in Galactus variants would have Death or Knull in hand or something equally big.

Turns out they hadn't (or had rightly assumed I would just kill it), and played a bunch of small cards followed by Venom to turn everything in one big card which got +5 because the location was Atlantis. In the end I had just enough points to win by 1.

With some more mutual fistbumps we bade each other farewell and good luck on our travels.


edit, the game after:

Playing with Sinister London.

I've played Wolverine, Hulkbuster, and Green Goblin. Turn 5 I play Hobgoblin on Sinister London, gambling that they wouldn't want to fill their locations before turn 6. Joke's on me because they played Prof X, locking up 2 locations with them winning by 112 (Mojoworld) and 15 respectively. I emote Deathpool because my gamble didn't pay off.

The one open location has me 8 in front because of Negative Zone and the copied Hobgoblin.

They retreat.

Was getting really tired of leech/Leader decks so grabbed a zoo/dracula deck and added in destroyer. Idea is to attempt to not fall behind at turn 5 and making sure either destroyer or infinaut is left in the hand for dracula.

If not up against leader you can normally play destroyer thanks to zero/cosmo/armor to swing one location and another with Dracula and infinaut.


In this game the opponent leeched my destroyer and infinaut but i kept them in hand so he only leader'd my Kazan in the final turn.

Rest of the deck is a few 1 drops with armor/cosmo for disruption and energy curve.

I already spent all of my gold on upgrades. How do you think I reached 340 since Friday night? ;)

I refuse to spend more than $10 a month on a game, and even that is a lot.

Well, good news is the 10 dollar per month purchase in this game is the best one by a lot. Saving gold for bundles is long term optimal but who knows how long we'll all be interested in the "get dumped on by series 5" game.

It's not perfect and can use a few tweaks, but it's been mostly working for me. Spend the first three turns charging things up, then turn 4 wave, 5 Knull, 6 Zola. When Zola destroys the initial Knull that still counts as "destroy", so the two copies will be double.
I need to figure out some more ways to buff him in those early turns and should probably drop Shang Chi, but it's a fun deck to mess with. Death works well with him too, I have another deck with both of them but this one is more fun to use.

Nah it's better than that. The listed odds would be 5% (of all reserves) but because of the every-4-reserves thing the cosmetic reserve actually has a 40% chance of a variant, 30% chance of a title, and 30% chance of a portrait, since it can't have anything other than one of those. The winter event makes that variant have a 50% chance of being a normal variant of a card you have, and a 50% chance of being a winter variant, so overall it's 1 in 5 cosmetic reserves that'll give you winter variants.

I popped the last $35 I needed for the Sunspot bundle and when I finished upgrading I'd gotten uh, two of the winter variants.

Ahhh ok I thought the cosmetic reserve was a 10% base chance for a variant with a 50% chance to be a winter one, that makes more sense
