That deck really wants Patriot or Zabu/Wong for maximum Rock Sliding. I'm going to try a list with those 3 and see how it goes.

Oooh and hazmat too.



Oh yeah, that'll do.

When you see it, you'll shit yourself.


In most situations you only end up with two rocks on your side so Patriot doesn't really shine. Wong could work, but I kinda like having "all the dudes that use rocks" on my game, even if Rockslide isn't the greatest card. I wish Rockslide was a 3/4 instead of a 4/6.

Lmao I didn't even notice that, Destroyer was my T6 play. I guess they didn't notice too, since they snapped on the final turn even though I would have won by passing no matter where they played their combo

Thanks to whoever mentioned hiding Ebony Maw behind Invisible Woman. Opponent snapped for 8 cubes because he felt pretty confident about using Wave to drop Death and Dock Ock on the right lane for T6.

Unfortunately I had Ebony Maw and Dracula hiding, moving that lane from -1 to 26.


drat I’m stupid. Why did I never think to play Destroyer with Cosmo if I didn’t actually want to destroy the rest of the cards?

Does getting a variant count as a “new” card in collector caches meaning I’ll be waiting longer for an actual new card?

This deck feels like it has potential:



You can mystique wong or patriot, obviously surfer+mystique+wong is the strongest of the win cons but you have backups. Cyclops should probably be maximus but I like running cyclops.

No. There's 4 types of chests, and they can contain:

-card
-cosmetic
-currency
-tokens

Variants are in cosmetic chests, they don't take the place of card chests.

Don't own Absorbing man but it shouldn't. Mystique loses her on reveal ability when she gains an ongoing. It's why she doesn't double up with Wong. A second Mystique would work though (Patriot Moon Girl??)

I got knulled for the first time outta nowhere and was like “what the gently caress is this bullshit!”

Dude got lucky with the +5 energy location so could drop destroyer and then venom’d it. Then boom, over 20point knull on another lane.

Yeah I’ve done Armor and Prof X to protect the other lanes but I never thought about making Destroyer not fire at all. I always think about the card effects in relation to the opponent; making a move deck was eye opening for me in thinking about how your own cards interact but I’m always finding new stuff.

I once armored a guy that was going to blow up like 15 points worth of stats for Knull or Zola via Venom.

I won :smug:

I think the easiest solution to Leader is just only have him copy the cards for the lane he's played in. He's just annoyingly powerful now, and there's no good way to play around him other than happening to run a Destroyer deck at the time or something

I like this solution as it requires the leader player to potentially guess. It can be telegraphed and played around a bit better as well.

I’m not sure if it would be a very good card anymore.

I just got Aero using tokens! And they could have gone further with the nerf.

Also, to even out a rediculous run of card pulls (which balanced out a prolonged terrible run), in exchange for pulling or buying: MR. Negative, Aero, Death, Venom, Patriot (Winter) and Brood in the past week, I just received M'Baku. I almost pinned him in my shop on the totally baseless theory that you can't pulled pinned cards. Am I correct that he still actively loses games, even if his effect goes off, because he jumps into things like Bar With No Name?

Incidentally, Bar With No Name is/was a great real bar in Toronto.

This is kind of the disgusting meta. Really the only way to make cubes off it is to snap before the T5 double spidey reveal otherwise people just retreat (as they absolutely should, gently caress your bullshit (i also use this bullshit sometimes)).

FYI, You can absolutely pull cards that you have currently in the shop. Don't pin something you don't want.
