I think the interaction in this case makes sense but I agree that others don't. IMO there should be a word other than "play" for cards pulled from deck or hand, because a lot of the time they don't satisfy "play" requirements or triggers. It doesn't even really work if you say "cards Jubilee summons don't get bounced from Luke's Bar because she's playing them, not you" because then you have stuff like Goose that says "Nobody can play cards that cost 4, 5, or 6" and that should include Jubilee :colbert:

edit: actually nevermind, the lack of Aero interaction is bullshit, because I am 100% sure that if you have priority and Juggernaut an opponent's card into Death's Domain or Luke's Bar it will be destroyed or get bounced. I get that Aero doesn't need a buff but you're right, it's inconsistent

Yeah, the Aero thing I'm okay with in a vacuum, it's the inconsistency that's annoying. Like I've learned from stuff like Bishop that cards aren't "played" until they're Revealed, so if I tried Aero here and lost a game because the interaction worked differently than the game had previously taught, I'd be pretty pissed.

Patriot decks are good here, Wong decks can be, destruction decks in some cases (get lucky with Wolverine, or have Yondu plink away), there are a lot of viable options and people need to quit being babies about the featured locations. This is a deck building game, if your deck isn't working build a new one

The one exception to this is Mysterio, who triggers Bishop 3 times. which functionally makes sense, because otherwise a bunch of cards and locations could give away which ones are illusions. I think it's also the only card that uses the formatting "As you play this..."

How in the hell did this person play Moon girl in Luke's bar? It was just flat out played there turn 4 and not bounced back.

This lost me the game, and appears to be a bug, unless I'm missing some incredibly obtuse mechanic.

Moon Girl can’t go back to hand if player is holding 7 cards after the duplicate.

It’s seems weird that it works that way rather than being destroyed, but that’s just the difference between this and hearthstone I guess

Also I lost 8 cubes to a Nick Fury pulling this trick off, couldn’t even be mad

Annoying decks are annoying but not always that effective at winning, but it did keep me from snapping.

ngl I almost feel like there should be a "This effect will not occur if the target player already has a Widow's Bite in their hand" condition on her, but that would also take away some of her utility for cards like Ronan (with the ever-popular Ronan the Accuser meta).

edit: Maybe a "You can only play this card once every other turn"?

Yeah I think that's just one of those things you come into the game assuming it works the same way as HS, but it's not like the implementation there inherently makes more sense

I... don't think so, actually? It ended up being a Dino deck, and I'm pretty sure the only card they played on Machineworld before turn 6 was the big guy himself. Figure if they already had their key cards they decided it was better to leave them in hand to buff him up rather than clog up their side of the board.

Opponent got Angela on Luke's Bar, played two cards on there after, and for some reason it didn't add to her power. Weird.

Meanwhile, I had two cards in my deck. Opponent flips first, played Jubilee on a node where he had buffed Gamora and was playing Hulk. 50/50 shot to pull Shang Chi.

I pulled Sunspot. Fuckin game.

Also, I'm thinking about dropping 1400 gold on Cosmo and Dino and will have probably done it by the time you read this.

Devil Dino definitely has the most consistently good variants. Is there a bad one? I think even the Pixel one is passable, which is saying something for that particular line of variants.

I play Elektra on X-Mansion where my opponent plays Patriot. Elektra destroys the Squirrel that is buffed by Patriot. Then the X-Mansion gives my opponent Viper and the Patriot goes to my side. Immediate retreat

How did my opponent play Black Bolt on turn 3?

There was no energy gain location, or cost reducing card played.



Turn 1 Luke's Bar flipped neither of us played. Turn 2, The Hub flips and I get.my Black Bolt.

I played Forge on Luke's, flipped first, and they played Witch to transform it to Shadowland.

Turn 3 Hellfire Club flips, I play Zabu, and they somehow played Black Bolt, destroying an Angela I had in my hand.

We're always hiring!

I know it's not the most broken combo or anything particularly special, but I do like throwing Yondu at Luke's Bar, especially when I have a turn where I don't have much else to play, so I'm at least making progress on lowering Death's cost and hopefully culling out a key card from the opponent's deck.

I do like the Turn 1 retreats because I managed to take out their Patriot.
