I'm not sure what is meaner. That Leech took away the abilities from Heimdall, Frost and Captain America or that I still managed to win by proccing Ant Man on turn 6.

Bottom Liner posted: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). Thank you ill give this a shot. I didnt realize until you mentioned it but I dont have magik and that would help tremendously but good to see your version doesnt have her

Finally got there... I spent all month failing with surfer decks and leech ramp decks but then I switched to a good deck and it was smooth.  The Red Skull is a troll slot it can be anything (it should probably be nightcrawler or leader). The two best cards in the game are Aero and Cosmo with priority. EDIT: Just saw the new avatar! Funnily enough I got the last one from complaining about Yogg Saron so much back in 2017.

Trying to run surfer without brood (I am 200 tokens away from getting it in the shop!) and doing somewhat ok with this 3 heavy deck Brood would be really nice tho, probably swap out killmonger.

I couldn't find many wins that way though. Magicka is such a double edged sword I waffled on her too. A lot of the popular decks right now felt like they got more out of a 7 than I did, but that's probably because I'm running Dino.

Welp, ran into a lane bug on the X-Mansion where two of my cards Kraven & Daredevil didn't trigger. I got Black Panther on turn 3 and dropped Dino turn 6 and both activated, I even had the Kraven eyes animation but he didn't trigger. I won anyways thanks to Professor X, but still annoying.

Hot location is the Gamma one again though, so guess I'm switching back to Patriot Also gently caress off with this  I was kind of kidding before but honestly there should be a maximum amount of Pixel Variants available at a time

I had a similar variant shop yesterday. 4 pixel variants and 2 others (neither any good). It's frustrating because the shop only rotates once a day.

Sure feels good when your opponent uses Morph turn 2 and it turns into Ultron voiding both their empty lanes.

Gamma lab is so lame. Throw down a bunch of 1 cards and pray the other guy doesn’t whip out a shang chi, bleh! Not a fan. I should really put shang chi in more decks for a bit

I just usually try to hold a Cosmo or Armor and play it on turn 4 to protect my thick, green boys. Also using arnim zola to move one in the other two lanes is a nice touch too.

It seems like variants share progress towards card effects? I already had a hologram on default Storm, and when I hit infinite on her hero variant, it immediately got both the hologram and a particle effect.

Tender Bender posted:It seems like variants share progress towards card effects?

It also counts total splits, so if you've split the base card twice already your first split on a variant can be Inkify.

My Dino deck has been doing work because of this dumb gamma thing for some reason. Also helps that I dropped Onslaught and went with America. Seems I get Dino fairy consistently now. Also, what the gently caress, Ego?  I managed to win because he dropped a 1/2 in the middle for me and Iron Man for the other guy. He played Colossus on the left for the other dude like 3 times and it just kept returning to his hand.

No Wave posted:Finally got there... I spent all month failing with surfer decks and leech ramp decks but then I switched to a good deck and it was smooth.  Me too! With a similar deck to boot. It's amazing how strong a lot of the pool 1 and 2 cards are. I played a lot of patriot this season and this deck got me from 90-100  Leader I barely played and when I did I usually lost. At higher ranks people are either playing around him or retreating if they think you've got him. I cut him for Shang Chi today for the gamma labs and didn't miss him. Quinjet isn't necessary but it can be nice with moongirl, white queen and sentinel for extra power. People would killmonger it and snap and then lose because they thought it was essential to the deck and it isn't. The only pool 3 card I think is pretty essential is Aero. Time to make some dumb lockjaw decks now and go donate cubes to people. KongGeorgeVII fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Jan 1, 2023 |

She’s one of the best control pieces in the game. The ability to decide where your opponent’s cards land during a crucial turn is huge. Both for power swings and for messing with combos. Edit: like, “oh, you wanted to Zola that Black Panther on 6? So sorry. Four cubes please.” Obviously she works best in lists that care about keeping ahold of priority.

Yeah, basically that. You can move all of their cards off Wong, move Destroyer off Cosmo, make them play everything on turn 6 in the one lane they were already winning etc. She is just super flexible and has pretty great stats considering how strong her ability is. I might even consider swapping the Leader for Magneto in that deck for extra disruption with great stats. There were definitely times I lost games and then realised if instead of whatever I played, if I had played Aero I had a guaranteed win. she takes some finessing but once you get there she is pure gold.

I also don't get why people who have the "Herald of Galactus" title ever retreat? Like why does getting a higher rank than 100 matter at all? Once there is a leaderboard then sure, but no one can see it past your title so who gives a gently caress? While climbing so many people with the title would retreat when I snapped instead of riding it out and donating some cubes. I've just spent the last hour snapping turn 1 and encouraging my opponent to snap as much as possible through the emote system. Then I pretty much only play lockjaw so I can guarantee M'Baku gets to jump out at the end for fun. Then against other infinites I play a real game with a roulette lockjaw. It baffles me that so many people in infinite are rolling with top tier meta decks and retreating/snapping as if it loving matters at all. e: loving hell you just can't help some people.

Options like Polaris or Magneto will only move cards if they're already flipped, but Aero gives zero fucks. Dropping her on Fisk Tower and watching it obliterate their 5-drop without me ever knowing which of their sick plays just got blowed up is a true delight.

No Wave posted:She answers pretty much every card in the game. By default Dino lists are usually built to have a strong early curve and then are winning two locations going into turn 6. Then you just aero into your losing lane and win 90% of the time. But she does a ton of deck/matchup specific stuff, you can move galactuses and white tigers and arnim zolas into the wrong place. You can't beat Deathwave without being able to Aero their three cards into a single losing lane which is why I agree she's critical for the list to climb. Oh, opponent is snapping after T5 wave? Would be a shame if they ended up dumping 31 power into a single lane…

 Well, that’s a thing that just happened. My Scarlet Witch turned the right location into Project Pegasus (9 energy), Mirror Dimension copied it (for 14), and then Superflow added one more for good measure.

So I followed the thread's advice and bought the Sunspot pack. Spending all those credits I earned a bunch of new cards, including Juggernaut (who I've wanted forever for my control deck) and Rogue (winter variant and didn't have her already). Got the winter variants for Patriot and Abomination too. Also got Zero and Attuma so I'm trying to make some Big Guy Zero deck work. It's fun times over here.

Juggernaut rules, and this is a great featured location for him. Also I am not a big fan of most of the "baby" variants but his is great, one of my favs

Also I finally got Mysterio, way down near the bottom of the barrel of remaining S3 cards. I was surprised looking through popular decks that he's not really being run anywhere right now though -- I wouldn't have thought the 1 power nerf hurt him that much, I guess he just doesn't jive with anything else in the meta currently?
