With the wild changes going on, should I buy now or unpin and wait for another Series 5 like Galactus?

Oh hey just found this thread for the first time. Zabu seems very strong. I've already ranked from 50 to 65. Spider-Man and Absorbing Man is a killer combo.

Brode tweeted that a balance patch is dropping tomorrow so might not be the best time to spend tokens. Not that I think Bast is eating a nerf or anything but who knows, maybe we'll see some cards drop in series

If Hearthstone balance patches are any indication, they'll nerf the stuff that was strong at the start of December. Leader, She-Hulk, Wave, etc.

Zabu seems unlikely just because the card is so fresh, and also, people paid $10 for it. I'd always expect them to wait until a season ends before nerfing its card.

Leader probably. Galactus definitely (since Bode already said it was on a watch list and not the kind the government keeps).

The double spider-man T5 is such a disgusting combo. As long as you're relatively ahead before the T5 reveal, you're almost guaranteed 2 cubes if you snap. Most people will retreat, some people will try and make something happen.

Yeah, it's a real list. Kazoo has an easy time emptying its hand, so you dump everything except Red Skull/Infinaut and Drac then blast 15/20 Power with a 4-drop.

Deck owns. Got me to 80 for the first time last season and I didn't even have Maximus. You just dump your entire hand and discard something huge. Here are a couple different versions.

This deck got posted here a day or two ago and, at least pre-Zabu, was 100% a Good Deck:

Maybe it's the Kazar-Dracula deck. The point is to dump everything else except Red Skull or Infinaut on the board on turn 6.

Man, the Alex Horley variants they're dropping this season are so loving good. Looks like they've datamined the next bundles and both have variants of his and I really don't want to be a paypig whale to this game but gently caress if those aren't incredible looking cards.

The one complaint I have is that variants for combo cards don't give you a match variant so White Tiger gets a great new card but her spirit tiger doesn't.

Yeah this is the main reason I never drop gold on the cool Hood variants. He usually isn't on the board long enough to enjoy it and the Demon stays the same. :shrug:

Yeah I just picked up the Max Grecke Doom variant last night which is super sweet, but the Doombots are kind of lame.

e: Speaking of cool variants, I just picked up this Alex Ross IW in a cache today and it might be my favorite card in my collection now: https://marvelsnapzone.com/variants/invisible-woman-02/

In the November (?) dev update video, they said this was a thing they want to do eventually (match variants with their tokens).

I am hoping M'Baku gets buffed. Not sure about energy or power, but some on the line of "This card cannot be drawn. At the end of the game he jumps to a lane where you can win." So like a tiny Captain Marvel with added deck thinning.

If they made a card that was "this card cannot be drawn" in any capacity, it would instantly become the most popular card, used in every deck imaginable. I could see a power bump and maybe a little rework of the text tho.

Buffing his body doesnt work because unconditional 1/3s dont exist and flying from hand is legitimately too good even with his current stats. He's honestly a fair card in his current form and you can even use him in cerebro 2 lockjaw, cards that fly out of your deck onto the board should be turbo niche.

I like being polite but I will use that emote aggressively any time I run into somebody running the bullshit tiger. You paid $10 for a Yugioh card, you can handle some sarcastic emotes.

Related: what is the counter to this bullshit? Enchantress/Sandman?

I’ve been getting boned by that Dracula/discard deck, with added zabu fun. it feels like three 20 power drops go down on the last turn lol gently caress this.

I’m sure everyone says the same when I surprise win with a combo they don’t expect but as you go up the levels you certainly see a lot more crazy end of game moves that I’ve got no idea how you can knowingly counter.

Silver surfer and zabu have in the last few hours become the bane of my life.
