I found a bug where the retreat button is disabled on certain turns, or totally during a match on the IOS client [never had this issue on steam]. Sent the videos to Second Dinner so we'll see what happens. It feels really bad to not being able to retreat on T5/T6 when the other player cubes. Had it happen 6 times last night.

Did you snap when the Retreat button was only disabled on certain turns? Because you can't retreat on the turn you snapped unless you're snapped back.

I didn't snap on those turns. The opponent snapped, and I couldn't. I first I thought it was magik interaction or wave use but nope.

I brought receipts, I got multiple mp4's and images of it happening, including games with no snapping. Got a report made just got to wait for the team to come back from vacation next week.

Sunspot seems like good value for my gold, are there any upcoming datamined ones? I'm sitting on like 7k gold

Sunspot is barely worse value than the Apocalypse bundle was; it is definitely worth the gold if you're spendin' the bars. It translates to about 200CL or so all at once from the credits.

Also Hottie Sunspottie is the best variant out of all the bundles so far, so bonus.

Someone did that math on that bundle, and it turns out to be slightly worse credits per gold than reloading on Dailies at 120 a pop. However, you also get the 2000 Collecter's Tokens, which're the most valuable currency in the game. It's likely that the big gold bundles with Collecter's Tokens will be the best things to spend on whenever they come around.

Yeah, absolutely: it's the collectors tokens that push it over the top. Any bundle without collectors tokens is something something that drake meme everyone used until they realized he was a creep.

is the sera/angela bundle so much worse because you can buy it directly with $, as opposed to the sunspot bundle, which you either had to buy two $40 gold purchases or one $100 gold purchase?

You get a reasonable amount of gold handed to you, it’s entirely possible to buy the Sunspot bundle without having spent a dime, whereas you have no choice but to use real money if, for some reason, you wanted the other bundle

The credits you get are at least about the same value as if you used the—relatively inefficient—credit buy option in the store. The bundles that really suck are the ones like the Spider-man one that just ended, where you're basically just paying for the cosmetic.

Really they could fix a lot of these bundles if they gave you the base card along with the variant, and some amount of credits/gold/boosters/whatever if you already have the base card. They'd still be crazy whaletown, but the idea of buying Sera to finally have the card and then Sera pulling out of my boxes on my next unlock is peak Feels Bad. I'm already waiting for the worthless Nick Fury unlock to waste my time now.

It's 2006. I am taking 276 yeti furs from the goodies hoard.
Lol just finished a game where I played Zola last turn and my opponent played a 0-cost Leader from The Raft followed by Odin. Literally had 2 minutes of Zolas copying other Zolas and Leaders which would then play more Zolas which would destroy the others and make room for new cards until it finally ended up in a configuration with all spaces full. Very funny poo poo.

Guy used Leader on Kamar Taj but I'd used Zola and he had Deathlok there. It took about 2 minutes to resolve everything but also wiped him out nearly entirely.
Nothing is more satisfying in this game than Leader players blowing themselves up

Looking for some Ultron ideas. I have patriot and mystique, but hate the way most Ultron decks feel like a bad version of Zoo when you don't draw both patriot and Ultron (and probably need one other buff on top of that). Anything with an alternate win condition? Electro ramp with patriot/Ultron or something?

So far the meta versions of the deck just feel like even more feast or famine and needs aggressive retreat play even more than usual. You can sneak out a good bit of 4s but feel equally likely to lose 8 when they have any number of answers to your heavily telegraphed play.

You can run Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Onslaught to pad out the buffs if you don't draw Patriot. Kazar is a bit iffy as it relies almost entirely on using Ultron, but it's a 4/4 body if nothing else. Plus, more targets for mystique

Yeah that's what I meant by worse zoo without the combo draws. The games relying on that backup vs other higher meta decks I see in the 65 range are almost always a loss if we go to 6 so I'm looking to build something different around it.

At 330 right now. Of all the cards said I have... Bishop.

I got to rank 48 and ever since it seems like I've only won maybe 10% of the games I've played. Down to 43 now and everyone seems to just be hard countering any decks I try. But I'm still grinding, baby.

I'm almost the same CL and also got to rank 48/49 pretty easily, then repeatedly failed to progress to 50. I wonder if there's a matchmaking breakpoint around there.

I don't know if it's accurate, but I've heard that 50+ is all one pool, including infinite ranked players. I certainly saw a lot more pool 4 and 5 cards once I hit 50.

I was able to get to 70 last night. That's where I was last season so I'm SOMEWHAT progressing.

I'm just waiting here with my Darkhawk, Shuri, and Absorbing Man for Zabu to show up to make some busted rear end decks and run rampant before they nerf Zabu because I cannot imagine how it got past R&D at that state.

Got some anime waifus, unlocked a bunch of cards.

Immediately plugged the friendly neighbourhood arachnid into my Galactus deck and I can report that it's as pleasingly oppressive as it should be.

b) play hundreds of free cards getting thousands of points

If you can't cheat him out with psylocke you want magick to get more value out of him. Sera also pairs well. Even dropping him on 4 can get you some cheeky wins though, as 5 and 6 are already fleshed out turns in a surfer deck so any freebies you draw are the icing on the cake. The deck can win without drawing Negative with surfer/brood/wolf/bishop, and Dino/Mystique is another combo for 5/6 if you don't get Surfer. Opponents tend to snap aggressively when you only have 1 card down going into 4, but you can also escape safely 99% of the time because you can see the math on 6 ahead of time and there's not much disruption you're worried about. It's a surprisingly consistent mid power deck that will beat most decks that don't draw their big stuff, and it has a huge power swing when things align that generally targets all 3 locations (most other decks don't).

This is what I do
