Hell yea hahaha did you win?

Yes, I even snapped my opponent back.

Unrelated, in another game I got a weird interaction where it was the final turn and no one could play any cards in any of the lanes (mix of Prof X and location effects). I was already in a losing state so I wanted to retreat but only the End Turn button was active. The retreat button was sort of transparent and I got no response from tapping it. We had both snapped. Felt bad.

You can't retreat on the same turn as you snap, unless the opponent snaps back after you.

One of the issues with this deck is that it's painfully obvious what you're trying to do relatively early but I guess that doesn't matter a lot of the time. Also, it's a little boring to play.

You're 100% right with the former point, but yeah, a lot of the time it doesn't matter. The early gameplan of just dropping Cosmo/Armor in some lanes along with other decent ongoing cards means it's not really consistently ahead or behind, so you can't be guaranteed to snipe it T6 with an Enchantress on the Armor lane. And obviously Enchantress or Shang Chi won't do poo poo if they're playing their Destroyer into a Cosmo lane. I don't think it's OP by any means and if your opponent sees it coming you aren't going to sweep them for cubes, but it's a pretty consistent means of climbing one or two cubes at a time. Also agree that it's boring as hell to play.

I’m at the loss thinking what kind of deck Sauron works in. Maybe I’m missing something ?

3/3 reveal: remove the abilities of all ongoing cards in your hand and deck

Is there a card that makes your opponent play cards you give them apart from widow?

Don’t have the answer to your question.

Red Skull, Ebony Maw, Typhoid Mary, Destroyer, Lizard come to mind as synergy cards.

It's pretty easy money with bad Ongoing effect cards like Red Skull and Typhoid Mary and Ebony Maw. It also has an advantage over Zero because it removes abilities before you play them, so you could for example play Ebony Maw on turn 4+.

Oh yeah Lizard is another good one. But keep in mind Destroyer is not an Ongoing card so this one won't affect it.

You know, I don't think you can. Ebony Maw's text is,

"You can’t play this after turn 3. Ongoing: You can’t play cards here."

Even with Sauron, he's a dead card after Turn 3.

I had a look through the cards and these benefit from having their ongoing removed:

- Lizard
- Electro
- Red Skull
- Typhoid Mary

Ebony Maw too, but getting him out after Sauron and before turn 3 might be problematic.

That's it I think. Doesn't seem very strong but who knows.

I mean it’s sort of like zero in that it’s a little package you put into the deck, not build around it.

If they only had an ongoing, then yes.

Washington D.C. is the same, if you have a bunch of ongoing cards there and your opponent enchants them, the results may not be to their liking.

If I'm reading Sauron correctly and it's consistent, it doesn't remove Ongoing abilities from cards, it removes all abilities from Ongoing cards.

Sauron doesn't remove Ongoings, he removes all of the abilities of cards that have Ongoings. So Electro is just a 3/2 after Sauron, for example, and Ebony Maw is fine to play out the same as if he was Leeched.

I've been guilty of this a few times, but never for more than a round. My steam version doesn't always register when I click End Turn the first time and I don't notice because I've tabbed out to do something else.

Regarding my hate of Darkhawk, I've only lost to the card/seen it twice. I did get gifted him one game via Agent 13, but my opponent was playing a discard deck so he wasn't very useful. For some reason it just annoys me more than if someone drops a Zola on Death/Wu shenanigans or even if a Lockjaw deck does its thing.

Sometimes I want to snap after my opponent locks in their move and it is bad that this is something that rewards annoying gamesmanship

BUT

If one of the titles was "annoying gamesman" I would use it

MODOK looks really narrow in playability compared to the last few seasonal cards. He'll basically only be good in the Dracula/Morb/Apoc list. Anything I'm missing? He'd be great if there were any synergy for Hela, who desperately needs something to help her be more consistent.

Kind of a backup plan as that deck already dumps your hand and then some by the time Invis Woman reveals. But it may allow some more lateral deck building away from the standard discards.

Kinda would prefer they move away from every season card being an archetype-defining monster, so I'm cool with this.

expensive license.

I worked for the mouse on a number of shows and films including marvel stuff and saw the difference between 3rd party and 1st party when it came to licenses.

Ben / Second Dinner isn't in the driver's seat in regards to the Marvel License, Disney has the keys to that SUV, so they probably had to make sacrifices to hit monetization targets which means we'll get a few bullshit bundles like the Pro thing.

If the Jubilee bundle turns out to be accurate I'll probably get that one since it seems reasonable.

That being said if they threw a few thousand tokens in the pro bundle I would have gotten it... maybe.

Sometimes my opponent snaps immediately after a turn, and I’m sitting there thinking, OK, how the hell can they beat a ramped Mr. Negative with a Sera? Then I panic and realize, oh god, they’ve set up a Galactus play. It’s so obvious. I decide to stay in to make them have it.

They play the most milquetoast line I’ve ever seen and get clobbered in two lanes.

They’re big play was a Hobgoblin in a lane I didn’t give a poo poo about. Not sure what was going on there.

I've run into quite a few people who will snap and then drop down this insane play in one lane and win it super hard while losing the other two. Like they stayed on to make a point that if you hadn't played stuff in the other lanes then they would've won.

I had someone snap after playing Psylocke who ramped into....Forge. I had another game tonight where someone snapped T4, played Jessica Jones on T5 and....nothing on T6. People can be very bad at playing this game sometimes.

There are decks where "psylocke and hope you topdeck" is the best move. If you have no other turn 2 plays and are looking for Mr. Negative, for instance.

Ongoing cards at the Isle of Silence will still be buffed by Spectrum.

Ongoing cards that have been Zeroed/Enchantressed will not be buffed by Spectrum.

Ongoing cards that have been buffed by Spectrum will not lose their buff if they are then Enchantressed.

I haven't tested it out, but I think that similarly to point 1 above Absorbing Man will still copy an On Reveal effect if it was suppressed by a surprise Cosmo.
