There are 2 advantages to spending gold on rerolling missions vs buying credits
1) You get season pass xp for completion. If you paid for the season pass, this can be huge since it gets you closer on those rewards. If you didn't it gets you closer to the dummy boxes which might contain gold or credits
2) You can reroll as many times as you want to spend gold on whereas you can only buy the 150 credits 3 times in a day.

Yeah, EV of a season cache (converting gold rewards to credits) is 45 credits, and paying gold for new missions gives you 75 points out of 1000, which averages out to a little over 3 extra credits. So closer to 2% better.

There is a reroll limit of 3 per day but I believe you can "bank" up to 10 total over multiple days.

Playing cosmo after they've venom'd the lane is a little late. Do you mean snapping after you've psychically cosmo'd the venom play? Because if I've played venom my follow up is taskmaster in one of the other lanes. (Plus maybe a large deadpool and a free sabertooth)

Arnim Zola is another friend of venom, cosmo can stop that at least.

He's not bad but he needs to be a critical centerpiece to your deck and you'll retreat a lot if you don't get him on 4 (earlier if you're cheating energy).

I got the Strong Guy King of Hell variant and getting an awesome variant for a card that won't see play doesn't feel as empty as getting a pixel card, but boy, it's a weird feeling.

I've been playing a variation of this deck and it's not amazing, but kinda fun to get some use out of Strong Guy.

I don't have Darkhawk, so I've been slotting some other 4-drops in (Crossbones, Drax).

Zabu is just not cool. Opponents snap on T2 over and over and its correct to do so because for the next 3 turns they have 29 energy and you have 15. This is gonna be rough once the better versions get popular.

An observation, probably because I dont have him, but there seems to be extremely little downside to playing Maximus now

Eh nvm its confirmation bias theres still discard decks out there that rely on drac

If you don't have Debrii, Mysterio also works, just not as well. Dunno for The Hood, maybe try Elektra to get the extra destroy value? Not sure anything quite replaces the demon, though.

Not much of a problem for a long time because the most powerful decks run multiple pool 5 cards (Shuri and Absorb man) which like <0.1% of players have.

Yes, especially since you don't have the Moon Girl synergy where you get two copies of the Demon. Sabretooth is 0 cost when destroyed but feels rather awkward at the initial 3 energy cost, since you won't go T3 Sabretooth > T4 Moon Girl unless you have a location like Death's Domain or Vormir. Maybe consider Wolverine?

There's also Deadpool, but he's a pool 3 card that shines more in the aforementioned Big Venom/Taskmaster/Zola package.

Yeah, late to the discussion but the "spend gold only on mission rerolls" advice is from before they started releasing bundles you could buy with gold. Right now, rerolls are still good and might be worth it for you, but it's more of a question to think about than just "spend only on rerolls"

I think Absorbing Man is Series 4, not that it makes much difference.

I’ve been stuck in the mid-60s for the past few days, my Negative Surfer deck is treading water. Currently contemplating going back to Sera Surfer. Right now I’ve actually been recouping my losses with a high variance Hela discard deck, but that doesn’t feel sustainable…

Shame I seem to be missing many of the Series 3 cards that work well with Zabu.

Huh, I've been playing since mid November I think? I should probably have a better idea of what's going on.

I think I'll just hold on to the gold if the credits are a bad deal. I don't need any more missions, so I'll see if something else crops up. Thanks!

Thoughts on this weirdo Zabu-Cage deck? I was running pure Luke Cage beforehand and all I had to swap was Green Goblin at 3 and Leader at 6 (who wasn't even really a dedicated add). Deck plays weird, it's good to have separation of concerns if Luke gets busted by Rogue or Enchantress, but wondering if there's a way to squeeze a bit better performance out of it. I used to run Black Widow but took her out for giving my opponents free plays when Morag was featured.



E: Swapped in Korg for Iceman, I think that fits a bit better

Saw Ego, snapped, my misty knight got placed on space throne, quicksilver in another lane for my opponent, second play would have been a surfer for me with no 3 on the board, so looks like I'm hosed.

Opponent retreats. I get two cubes and manage to complete the "win location with only 1 card" objective.

Thanks Ego!

If you see him and don't insta-snap, why are you even playing.
