When I have cosmo in hand and snap my opponent's T4 wong my opponents stay in 85% of the time. I would too if I were them probably.

I really wish featured locations were featured for less time. Altar was fun for a day or so but like… this one requires such gimmicky decks. Countering it as soon as the location is revealed can be inconsistent. Enough!

If you snapped my wong you'd better believe I'd come after you and kick your rear end.

And this is probably the least disruptive of the upcoming set.

Jan. 18- 20, Rickety Bridge: After each turn, if there is more than one card here, destroy them.
Jan. 25 -27, Collapsed Mine: Fill this location with Rocks. Skip a turn to destroy your Rocks.
Feb. 1-3, Plunder Castle: Only cards that cost 6 can be played here.

Max is replaceable. He can be meta but I prefer polaris in non-leech decks cause giving my oppoment their surfer is so bad and polaris can do amazing things at weird times. Granted you may also not own polaris.

Polaris is tricky, she drops early enough that I never see her coming. Aero I at least have in the back of my mind going into T5.

But it ramps agnostically. Most decks can make use of that extra energy.

Skipping an entire turn to clear a location is not something most decks want to do.

Edit: think how annoying Galactus will be when the location it lands on is full of rocks on your side.

Altar is a really cool location to have in the pool but a really bad featured one because it’s easy to abuse in a variety of ways with Death, Deadpool, Leech, Galactus, etc.

As I understand it if you and your opponent have a card on bridge they both die. So yeah you can play bucky there T6 and its great but it's not ramping out galactus.

I think snapping at T4 wong is likely far more likely to net you 1 cube than hurt you ever, whether you have disruption or not.

Speaking of people not spotting the Odin lane.



I'm currently at rank 80 and this happens more often than it should. Lane with Wolfsbane dropped solo on turn 3. Surfer on turn 5. LETS SEND HOBGOB THERE ON 6!

tbf I think hardly anyone runs Odin in Surfer lists because it’s generally worse than 2-3 3 drops on 6, although I guess seeing Surfer on 5 is a bit of a tell

Yeah, it's not optimal by any stretch, but it's outside the meta enough to work.

Even if it does show up, in the majority of those games it's gonna be Turn 1 or 2 which is an easy skip all things considered.

I run Odin in my Sera Surfer Magik Hazmat deck because you can drop any of the 3s (now 2) plus Odin (now 5) on t7. It's the best case scenario of course. Wong - Hazmat - t6 Odin is enough to win most matches though if you can get Cage down earlier. Lots of "ifs" here, but it seems to work more often than I'd otherwise think it should.

No, it's if there's more than one card there. If you have two cards there, they both die.

So if you somehow lock down the other lanes, Wolverine would rule the bridge?

Yes - but if you and your opponent each have one card they'll both die correct? The wording is different from Atlantis for example.

Leech is the best! He's just so happy to see you, every time. Look!

I'm sure you'll love it, it features your favourite card...

And it was specifically made for this featured location, so after today it will be pretty bad since there's like 4 cards in there that will be much worse without it.

Just hit my opponenet with the most hilarious reversal of fortune. Altar reveals turn 1, I pass and they drop Deadpool on it. Turn 2 I slam Scarlet Witch down because gently caress that noise, but they have priority and drop Deadpool again, and also Sabretooth. Scarlet Witch flips and turns Altar of Death into... The Peak. :v:

They should buff all of the "opponent played a card here" cards. And not a Buff/nerf like they gave Drax, just a straight +1 power to the On Reveal for every single one. As a 2/5 on his upside Star-Lord would be almost decent. Still not Lizard good, but not quite as DoA.

Lol that's what star lord is, he just misses more than lizard gets turned off and scorpion is broken. Rocket and gams are basically playable. The issue imo is that 2/3/4 cost cards its too hard to tell where your opponent is playing (I won't count drax being played in low spender zabu decks thats a special situation)

Drax is playable, but only because Zabu exists.
