No Wave posted: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. Make him also trigger if he's destroyed from deck via Lamentis or Yondu IMO. Doesn't really push the power level it's just an added fun layer of M'Baku ambush flavor

Makes it less consistent and more swingy because if you don't get zabu you'll never dump your hand. Upper bounds are definitely higher though when it hits.

Psylocke into Sandman is almost even worse because you spent 2 turns and 6 energy for 2 power and to stop their later plays, but they still dropped 2 power with zabu and probably 2 more 4 costs before it affects them. The best tech answer is Rogue IMO. Bottom Liner fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Jan 3, 2023 |

I feel like the only way M'Baku is gonna be a good card is if there's ever some kind of reshuffle archetype; basically like discard, but you keep shoving cards back into your deck.

I realize the meta is literally just settling, but Zabu feels really gross. At least unlike Surfer he's marginally worse after turn 3 but not by a lot

If they stick the Zabu you're already behind. From a pure hate perspective I think Sandman is the best option, but I'm more of the opinion that you should just try to beat them out on board instead of countering their plays.

re: Zabu chat: Maybe a deck with a Hood/Viper/Debrii/Absorbing Man/Goblins/Hazmat/Luke Cage/Odin thing going on to choke their board? .... tangentially related, has anyone tried playing Absorbing Man after a Green/Hobgoblin? Does he leap to the other side of the board?

I think Rogue is on a different level from the others because you can use the effect yourself and there are a number of other matchups she instawins. You still need to drag her around in the bad matchups but some decks can handle that.

This is why I'm not going to upgrade unless a core mission requires it. Getting the rare card now that I'm above 500 just feels bad. I'm just going to upgrade everything at the end of the season.

Any time I pull one out from one of the random location card draws it fucks everything up. There are a few lists with her that hit infinite. They mostly revolve around using Wave to play her on 5 and then another big 6 to lock down another location. \/ if she automated the end turn and everything that would rule.

Well hopefully they would have some cards in hand that they were hoping to drop for a big T6 that now they can't (like Enchantress and Shang Chi to swing a few locations). But this brings to mind another issue with Zabu, since he's only 3 cost it's hard to see him coming. If someone's setting up a Sera and/or Surfer deck you see it coming and can prep to Leech or Cosmo or whatever. Zabu is out early and I don't think the early game looks much different from other greedy decks

Yeah it's not literally steadily "every 4" but you can imagine them in sets of 4, and one in each set is an avatar/title/variant, one is gold/credits, one is collector's tokens, and one is a new card. The order can be shuffled around for each set. When you're at that point they never give boosters anymore. Once you have all the Series 3 cards you no longer are guaranteed new cards, but in their place you'll get extra tokens. goferchan fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Jan 4, 2023 |

There are five Series 3 cards that you should buy if given the opportunity: Aero, Sera, Leader, Magneto and Death. If you have all five of those then buy a card every time you have 1000 tokens to speed up how fast you start getting 400 from Reserves, but otherwise hold out.

I made the mistake of buying Super Skrull when the token shop first opened with all 6000 of my credits. But he does a lot of work in a Negative Zabu deck. Rogue steals Zabu’s power? Skrull gets to copy it back. Oh and now I can use your Sera power too.

I’ve never played Poker. I wonder if someone snapping turn 1 elicits the same emotional response as someone going all in on the first hand. I don’t lose eight cubes often but when I do it’s because of the aforementioned scenario.

If Hulk is the "baseline" power for a 6-drop, you can consider Magneto's effect costed as if it's "neutral" but in reality anything that moves your opponents' cards around is probably good just because you can plan for it and they can't

It's incredibly satisfying to retreat from an opponent because you got none of the cards you needed re-matched with them and get a starting hand that's EXACTLY what you need to absolutely win. Running some Zabu and got none of my hitters by turn 4 (no Zabu, no Spidey, No Sera) and my "best" in hand card was Rescue by turn 4. No way to even compete so I retreat. Rematched with the same opponent. My opening hand was Zabu, Spidey, Moon Girl. I waited until after the third location revealed and was the one that gives you +5 energy and they actually snapped first. Bet they thought they were hot poo poo being able to drop both Green Goblin and Hobgoblin on Turn 3. Wiped that smile off their face when their daredevil saw 2 Spideys blocking the only two competitive lanes. Easiest 4 cubes all day.

Not really because every game of snap happens in a vacuum. It's kind of the best and worst part of the game, because retreating early and often is the correct way to climb the ranks but it's not strategic or rewarding in the way that poker is. Bluffing isn't much of a thing either, since most of your retreats come from very assured counters/locations/bad draws or just flat out losing the math.
