Even after I odin’d that lane it pulled the same 2 again so I had 4 prof x’s sitting in my hand ffs. WQ copies the highest cost in hand - they would have had Prof X in hand, no 6's in hand and likely no other 5's.

It's hand, not deck, and it's their highest cost. so if they only have one 5-drop it will always be that 5-drop. Also cards like Wave gently caress with it (and probably Zabu?)

It's current cost, so yes. If you had a spare energy the previous turn an opponent's White Queen will take Infinaut over She-Hulk.

I'm playing WQ in my CL599 Devil Dino deck. In games where you don't Moon Girl > Dino > Dino, and you often don't end up playing the card she pulls- 4/6 and knowing your opp has Odin/Heimdall/Spectrum basically let's you solve Turn 6. She was also just in every deck I made at low CL.

Yeah, the information is far more value than the card most of the time. Right now I’m playing a deck with Lady Sif, Ghost Rider, & Dracula and it would be an upgrade if she just showed me the card.

I do think that the current card acquisition method is a pretty steep barrier to a competitive scene, unfortunately. I’m still interested in seeing what sort of format develops once battle mode is released.

Minor detail, but I like that since Spider-verse powder blue ballet shoes appear to have become Spider-Gwen's canon footwear. That was such a nice little character touch.

Shadow King has been in the game files forever as a 6/4 "destroy all cards with 2 or less power" and now he's been officially announced as a 4/3 "set all cards here to their original base power". Quite a few of those data-mined cards have existed since beta and who knows if they'll ever release in their current form.

We have a whole forum here that would be more than happy to help with recommendations for people looking to get back into comics but it really comes down to what you like in your reading. Marvel Unlimited is insanely good value if you're actually interested in reading books again but I also understand that it's hard to figure out where to start and the organization is not set up as much for "Discover" as it is for "I know what I want to read." Also, follow creators not characters. You can barely go wrong with books from Jon Hickman, he writes incredible over arching sweeping epics. He's currently in charge of the X books and did House and Power of X. Also check out Immortal Iron Fist and Hawkeye from Matt Fraction. Both are very self contained and great starts for people wanting to know more about both characters. A lot of character details as well as Pizza Dog from the recent Hawkeye show were aped from this run. Another creator to look for is Kieran Gillen. Does great smart work. His run on Journey Into Mystery (which brought us Kid Loki) is so loving good. He also did an incredible Darth Vader run. I could go on for a while but again, there's a recommendations thread pinned in BSS that's worth posting to if you're interested in getting back into things and looking for "what's good."

I'm not good enough for describe it but there's something about the way they're written that really grates me. I think it's something about the combination of the pseudo-dialogue with the keyword heavy exposition. Like here:  I checked out those X-Men recs and at first glance they do seem better though, will give them a try!

Lots of public libraries in the US have good omnibus/graphic novel collections too - make sure you check out your local one. Also, https://snap.fan/ (and the other sites I'm sure) has an app that can track your Snap card collection. You can then go and see which Pool 3 cards you're still missing. I'm down to just 15 after playing since launch (October 18) and have probably only missed a handful of dailies. I've paid for the 3 season passes (real money), the Apocalypse bundle (too much real money) and the Sunspot bundle (gold). Just posting this in case anyone in a similar spot is wondering how long it'll take them to reach 100% pool 3. The only "deck defining" one I'm still missing is Cerebro, but I'm also missing some important ones like Red Skull, both Thors, and Ultron.

New Leaf posted:Think of it less like Magic and more like the cartoon version of Yu-Gi-Oh where you have to believe in the heart of the cards and sometimes weird poo poo works out because of shenanigans. What do I use gold for? I've been saving it up in case I can buy anything that matters with it, but it looks like it's just variants of cards I already have and credits. So should I just buy credits with it then? Or do cards I don't have sometimes show up that I can buy with it? edit: Oh, answered in the OP. quote:Buying Credits with Gold is a waste of money, the maximum Credits you can purchase in a day is capped so you can't whale too hard and as you've seen with the Collection Level reward tracks above you actually get less for your dollar spent as you go higher, spending money on Gold to buy Credits is for the dumbest of whales only. Gold you get from the season pass is best spent rolling new extra daily missions as completing those also feeds back into more season pass experience. Okay, I guess I'll do that then. I don't know if I want to play much more than I am though.
