Snap every game because the cubes don’t mean anything yet and the rewards for climbing ranked are paltry garbage. Now if they started rewarding tokens based on rank at the end of the season or something…

Man, I bet that dude was so excited getting Onslaught out there first. Give him out there first means you stand a good chance of also being able to play Ultron on T6 for absolute win. I would bet they snapped either right when that happened or a turn or two after.

He deserves this for going with the full greed Onslaught Patriot list. It's sick landing those triple-stacked On Going effects, but you've got a real glass jaw against any good tech card. More balanced lists can play their Patriot, Marvel, and Mystique across different locations to safeguard against the various disruptions.

Lmao I love the siren call of an all in play, but legit, if he slams the mystique somewhere else with patriot buff he gas a good chance of still winning (all the silenced cards would start getting the mystique-patriot buff). Too greedy, gamer. Hell, you're even telegraphing a deck that often runs enchantress or shang chi with zabu!! They deserve the loss

This was a very telegraphed play from yesterday's Luke Bar period. My opponent got wiped at Hala on turn 4 with a 1 point difference.  It was obvious that only Ultron was they only reason for them to keep going. They were very confident I didn't run Cosmo, because I got 8 cubes from it.

Looking back it looks like he actually played the Mystique on turn 3 attempting to copy Onslaught? Which didn't do anything because Onslaught wasn't "played". So he was already loving up honestly

Occasionally you can drop destroyer thanks to zero or cosmo consequence free. And still wind up with just infinaut for Dracula. Sometimes you do end up with the choice of playing one or two low cost cards or drop destroyer and hope drac wins the 1/2 or 1/3 chance to discard infinaut.

I mean with She Hulk you don't have to worry about the buff that Red Skull gives to your opponent's cards, and you can also play her as early as T4 if you skipped T3.

Push El Burrito posted:Does the "stop at 590 and build up credits" advice still apply? I'm bumping up against that soon. I started around the same time as you, but I'm CL 686 now. I was just entering Series 3 at the start of last week and I've managed to climb from Rank 20 to 40. Maybe I've gotten lucky with matches? There's definitely more Hela and Doom decks than before, and plenty of games that should have been a lock that I got bodied in the last round, but it's still fun and I'm still winning. I guess it depends on whether you're happy not seeing more cards as you play. the_american_dream posted:Question for you and other Drac-Zoo friends. Are you frequently skipping turn 5 or is that typically only when you miss Drac? Having a lot of success climbing since I started actually playing this deck right but im finding myself playing Red Skull (without Zero, dont have him yet) moreso than Infinaut and that cannot be correct The only time I skip turn 5 is if I don't already have Dracula, and at least half of those times I draw him on 6 but can't dump my hand. I think the correct play is to withdraw on 6 if you don't draw Dracula. This deck is very similar to the Strong Guy Zoo deck, and I found Jessica Jones gave me better results than Kazar. I'm thinking the same thing is probably true with Dracula. Kazar realistically only gives about a 4-8 spread over several lanes while Strong Guy can give a 4-10 in 1 lane if you manage to dump your hand and is Shang Chi proof since the discard won't happen until the end of the turn. Jessica Jones is basically the same and more consistent. I might drop Cosmo for Storm too.

The bots in this game can be such a bitch sometimes. Just had one on turn 4, in a tinkers workshop (or whatever it's called, gives +1 power that turn) drop a scarlet witch and only that on turn 4, despite it not being a hazard location. I happened to play 3 cards there that turn. They had priority and it changed to deaths domain and killed all my cards. Cheating bots suck.

They always get to see which actions you'll take and they get to know the outcome of any RNG effect, from card draws to area re-rolls. Walla posted:I just lost a game because I dropped Cosmo on Wong. I would have probably won otherwise. It's okay, everyone has killed themselves with Cosmo at least once.

I use Typhoid Mary (with Zero) in my version. She-Hulk would be strictly better but I'll never see her. Even without Zero, Mary can be a winning drop on 6 because you can mostly math her out to be advantageous. Zero is only there for Destroyer/Mary, as I don't have Red either.

He's still bullshit, though. Every answer to him requires considerably more thought and preparation than just slamming the swollen green idiot on 6.

Just found out that Leader also copies card strength after On Reveal effects. Played Wolfbane onto three cards (7), and then Surfer to get him to 10. Opponent played Leader, copied the 10 strength card and then applied the on reveal effect again and then surfer on top for a total of 17. Seems especially bullshit that you can not only copy all your opponents cards but actually end up with stronger versions of them.

I still think the best fix for Leader is to make him create plain copies instead of copying the buffs too.

Bottom Liner posted:Play anything that doesn't rely on big 6 drops while behind on board state. I got Leader recently, and let me tell you. It’s 100% this. I lost plenty as Leader was not a free win button at all. I had to be winning in two lanes for Leader not to be a gamble. You can see it coming sort of by the cards they play. If you see a Maximus that’s one early clue a Leader might be in the works. Another thing is, as a leader player, you need to win two lanes going into turn six; the leader will usually get played into an emptyish or losing third lane to seal the deal on the other lanes. You can Cosmo that third lane pre-emptively and gently caress them over. If you fill your opponent's board with Debrii that’ll jack them up too. If your deck wins by dropping big bodies on turn 6, then you need to accept that you’ll lose to leader unless you altered your gameplan early enough. This is another aspect that’s unfortunate of not having certain cards. If you have the card and play it for a while you learn how it loses.

Dracula is great against Leader since it copies him before the discard takes effect. Source: I just trounced a Leader deck by playing Dracula on T6. Mine discarded Infinaut and his discarded Maximus.

I just had a game where I managed to Cosmo the entire board because it had the "duplicate card to another spot" node and the "you draw from your opponent's deck" node. My mad cackle when I drew it on turn 4 was something to behold I'm sure.
