I would guess this works if you use an android emulator too? Lotta work for $2 at that point I guess.

As an Agatha enjoyer I have to say do not apply the Ego rule to her. It will cost you many many cubes.

Do run Morph though! The randomness keeps Agatha bot games interesting. Sometimes you glance over at the iPad to see a turn three Infinaut or DOOM.

What kind of Agatha deck are you running? I want to run one but I'm not sure what to use.

Right now I’m mostly using her to autopilot dailies on my alt account. I threw together a pretty standard Kazoo list with Agatha at the top. Folds to Killmonger, but steals the occasional win. Knocks out dailies pretty quick without losing too many cubes.

I also have a Lockjaw/Jubilee/Wave list that’s similarly mediocre but fun. Sometimes you luck into Jubilee in the Lockjaw lane and cough up 30+ power worth of cards.

The best list looks to be the Ghost Rider/Hela one, but I don’t have those on my main or alt.

My Ego post was not a complaint, more astonishment at the fact it made the perfect worst play possible. Losing 1 cube is something I consider a win.

I had Shuri into Vision on Shuri's Lab into Taskmaster on Shuri's Lab last night. 28 power Vision, 56 power Taskmaster. I'm very glad Shuri was the only Series 4/5 card I got so far, she's very good.

Id love to have the card — I need to finish Pool 3 first though. I had her in my Token Shop and even pinned her and then thought better of it.

Did they change it so that generated cards aren't white bordered? I'm pretty sure that's your Agatha, and Agent 13 gave her Sunspot.

There's no way that Weirdworld would let you draw the opponent's Agatha...right?

Cards generated by locations are white bordered. Cards generated by other cards are bordered by the parent card's level. In this case, Agent 13 is green bordered so Agatha is too.

I say this as someone who's used Agent 13 a lot.

4 kills means a naked T5 wave will let you play she hulk + death + 1 (and you only really can lose to leader). 2 or 3 kills means you can she-hulk+1 or death+1. 0 to 1 kill means you can only she hulk+1. I havent seen debrii in this deck in ages but it used to be an option.

Ok but at this level I have yet to see anyone play a Mystique or Patriot or Ultron unless we get randomized decks. So I just stick to being an rear end in a top hat with Enchantress.

I'm the rear end in a top hat putting out Klaw on turn 5 and Blue Marvel on turn 6.

Also played a single game today at lunch. I cleared 2 dailies, went up the next tier of weekly challenges and went up to level 45 in the season. I went from CL 341 to 368 from that 1 match. Now I have Sandman, Killmonger and Warpath. :getin:

So I’m at CL497, I know I get my last Pool 2 card at the next level but I’m curious what other parts of the game change? I know you have a 1-in-whatever chance of getting Pool 3 cards from the caches and you start getting the tokens (is that per level? Per game? Also only from the caches?) but is that it?

I know it is not optimal but playing Black Widow on Bar Sinister remains one of the funniest things I can do in this game. It really messes people up. I’m not sure why. I’m 2 for 2 with that play even though you are conceding the Bar Sinister Lane entirely.

Your first couple pool 3 cards are directly given to you, not from caches. For the next ~100CL you'll mostly be matched with people who only have pool 2 cards, or who maybe have a couple pool 3 cards. Past that it's open season for number of series 3 cards.

For the caches I'm not sure that they have changed them other than adding tokens - those are a 25% rate for 100 tokens, but the same 1-in-4 system that they use for Reserves is different for Caches, so you're not guaranteed to have exactly a 25% rate the way you are later. Supposedly the caches bad luck protection is on the sixth cache which will force a card; once you hit 1000+ it goes to 7 due to how the reserves are generated. Until you get to 1000 each cache should have a roughly 50% chance to have a new card.

This was such a stupid win. Concentrated everything in the middle until after turn 4 when the locations switched. After that it was all over.

Also every card I played was mine. Cable drew Hulk but he's kind of useless.

Edit: Actually, Cable drew Mister Fantastic or Ant Man. I can't remember since both are in this deck.

Also, here's a life tip:

If you get the location that gives a 9 power monster and your opponent donates it to you with Viper, do not play your other larger cards at that location.

Stupid question, is the counterplay for leader to be ahead going into turn 6 or turn 5 if they’ve ramped?

The theory being that Leader punishes you for dropping your hand in a single turn.

I’m trying to think about how I can counterplay against it. The first step is identifying they’re playing leader. However, there aren’t a lot of tells apart from them leaving spots open in lanes.

The best counterplays are to be running a Destroyer deck, or something like Patriot/Kazoo where you’re going to wind up dumping a bunch of useless stuff on him. Otherwise yeah, if you suspect that’s what he’s going to do, being ahead and just not taking a turn is pretty funny

And if the parent card is split, the generated card has the same split effects.

Thanks for the advice on Leader, goons.

I made it to Diamond using a modified version of my Quake deck. I’m not convinced it’s a useful card without Morag. With the right locations, it’s very disruptive.

Proud of the progress considering Silver is where I landed last season.

I put Bucky and Carnage down on it once, which gave me 3 Winter Soldiers and an 8 power Carnage when all was said and done.

Not spectacular, but it won me the location and racked up some kills for my Death card.

I liked when Bar Sinister was a featured location because it was a game of chicken. You could queue up a big combo but they might shut you down with Green Goblin. But if you went early with a 2 or 3, they could end up with their side full of GG or maybe they could play their own big combo.
