There's no way you encounter so many available players at all hours. I'm more suspicious of the "players" who make perfect plays every single turn of the match. The bots that don't even pretend to be subtle about it.

There has to be a faster way to grind.. am I missing something or do you just stop grinding when everything runs out and there are no more missions?

There's still grind past dailies but it's a much longer scale. You can grind the season pass (even if you didn't pay) because the season caches have a chance of credits. You can also grind out ladder levels as long as you haven't hit 90 since that's where the credit/gold rewards stop.

Seems like it's basically always +EV to instafold when Zabu comes down if you aren't also running him. Sure, sometimes you can outplay, and it's satisfying as hell when you do, but not often enough to be worth staying in for. Pretty disappointing that they'd release a card like this so early in the game's life, it doesn't augur well for future game balance.

It immediately warps the balance of any 4 drop in the future the same way that Mr Neg warps any high cost low power card. I think Zabu will probably end up being a 4 cost so you at least have to psylocke into dropping him on 3.

That just makes him a bad Sera that doesn’t let you play an extra 4 drop until 6. A deck that goes all-in on Zabu 4 cost feels very powerful when it goes off but is extremely limited when it doesn’t. There are a lot of locations that gently caress up Zabu’s plan beyond the fragility of not drawing him in time. So the deck building challenge is going to be deciding how few 4 costs you can get away with to have a decent early game and be robust to drawing Zabu late. I’m still missing a bunch of (formerly unplayable) 4 cards & Psylocke so I can’t say with full confidence but after a bunch of playing, Zabu feels kind of fragile/draw dependent. I’m wondering if he’s best understood as a package enabler, like Carnage/Bucky/Hood/Mysterio. Like maybe Zabu goes into a Sera disruption deck that wanted to play a bunch of 4 cost anyway or into Dino that wanted Moongirl anyway.

Most successful Zabu deck for me has been with Hazmat/Luke Cage. Zabu is really just for a cheap Wong and Moon girl but the deck doesn't need the 4 drops to win.

doingitwrong posted:l, Zabu feels kind of fragile/draw dependent. This is most decks given the nature of the game. And unlike a lot of them, he’s played earlier and benefits you before they can counter even if they have the counter in hand. The greater issue though is that he warps the power level of every future 4 cost card because every one of them has to be considered as a combo drop on 4 and as a trio drop on 6. Resource cheating is always a very powerful effect in card games and this is an insane one, easily as good as sera, and we know how much she makes possible already.

BoldFace posted: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. Just wanted to say I've been running this with Attuma instead of Cosmo and I've been feasting on Zabu. Thanks!

Got to 70 this morning playing a nonZabu pure control deck I stole from the snap discord (top line of aero, prof x, gamora and leader) in absolutely the most satisfying possible way: playing prof x on a clearly telegraphed galactus play (wave, snap, one empty lane) with my nightcrawler already in the lane. 2 points, thanks pal.

I never noticed myself playing against a significant number of bots but since the new season and rank reset they are undisputedly like over 50% of my games (with the dead giveaways like "impossible" card cosmetic upgrades) -- and these aren't the Deep Blue genius cheater bots either, they're full-on stupid ones that basically play like they're being controlled by Agatha. Not complaining because I am rocketing up the ranks, but it's weird, I didn't have this happen at all with the last couple rank resets.

I had the same experience though have had a drop off since I got to about 67-68 — where are you seeing them? I’ve seen some chatter of folks saying ranking up has been easier this season than last.

My bot rate seems to be 50% "playing as bad as Agatha or Ego" where yeah, they make the dumbest moves (I've seen Ironheart played with no other cards on the field...) and easily could have won and 50% "wrecks my poo poo." Then there are the matches where I'm not sure if it's a bot that, IDK, influences the deck/randomness? But ones where things like Jubilee ALWAYS pulls the best card it could (like Odin when they have Iron Heart and White Tiger in that lane...and the Tiger will ALWAYS go to the lane it needs to, somehow.) I swear, when I use Jubilee or Lockjaw they always pull the least useful card in that scenario. Or a Zabu deck that ALWAYS plays him on turn 3, whereas I'm running like a 70% rate of having to retreat with my Zabu because I don't have him by turn 4...first time I payed for a season pass, might be my last cause I'm not making good progress, here! I'm also mad that nearly every good meta-deck I've seen, I'm missing, like, one card from still. Don't have Wave, or Psylocke to get other cards out early...don't have Dracula for the decks revolving around him, don't have Wong yet (got him pinned in the token shop, at least) don't have Magneto to make good use of Kingpin, etc... but that's just the nature of a FTP card game, so eh.

i haven't played a ton since reset (basically just doing missions + a handful of games to test Zabu) but I haven't run into a "whoa" Zabu deck yet (whereas Surfer was doing well everywhere right away). I did see the dual Spidey which is pretty scary but the rest of their draw must have sucked because they retreated on 6 (I had a big lead in one of those lanes and the open lane) I'm sure as more people play and get Zabu and I climb it'll get worse

Maybe it's part of the deck being inconsistent so I'm only seeing the times they don't draw. Sidenote.. having more fun with the Dracula/Red Skull/Infinaut deck, and Dracula is a funny as hell counter to Leader. Just won 8 cubes because a guy was confident I couldn't come back, he copied my Dracula, his ended at 3 power to my 20.

Trying something different by going for a rock lock deck. I've been having fun so far but it's highly drop dependant: Carnage and Viper are there for clean up, Angela and Wolfsbane are there to give me some cheap power on the board, then you have a disruption package of Korg, Rock Slide, Green Goblin, Hobgoblin, Scorpion, Debrii and Hood (which I can send over with Viper even if my opponent Armors it). Gamora is there to get 12 + 6 power on the board on the last turn once my opponent starts to get limited placement choices. The only part that I don't really like is Hob: he can be good but he's unreliable and I don't have DD to make him reliable. Any suggestions for a replacement? Maybe just America Chavez to draw better?

Hazmat has been only OK, you don't really need luke cage but you really want them to have +4 cards on their side to make it impactful and that doesn't happen too often.
