You're right, but I saw someone running beast in a move deck today which got mileage out of what there is. They hit their combo and man, it was pretty good. Iron fist middle, human torch played right, bounces to middle. Hulk buster gets dropped middle. Beast scoops it all up. T6 drops Iron Fist, with vulture right getting bumped to mid, Dr. Strange left pulling a now beefed up Vulture left. And then the rest of the free cards wherever it hurt most. Also means he didn't have priority.

I don't have Beast so I'm trying Falcon. It's a bit more specific, but it might work out?

Yea doc ock only works if the cards didn’t still get their on reveals. Or bar sinister

I tried him as a Wong counter once. Didn’t go well!


Minority I’m sure but I really think a good change is any card not PLAYED should lose it’s on reveal

Ongoing is fine.

Maybe? Beast reduces the cost of things he picks up, so those 1s become free drops.

I don't think Ultron is a super-high priority buy for an early pool 3 player, Patriot is good enough without it. Better to look for cards that open up other archetypes so you don't get bored playing one deck.

Ultron is crazy good for Patriot. Mystique too. And Wasp, she's the best and I love her <3

I wouldn't recommend buying any of them though, just because I don't recommend buying any pool 3 card.

I have won more games than I want to admit running a game like this when Dark Dimension reveals. T1 pass. T2 pass. T3 snap and patriot on Dark. T4 Mystique on Dark. T6 Blue Marvel on Dark. T6 Ultron on Dark.

The amount of people who just don't pick up on what's going on is staggering.

With the news that some cards will not cascade I've switched it up to saving tokens. Previously I was buying key pool 3 cards but now I think saving them is the smartest play because you're prob never going to get some of the big bads w/o the shop.

I've been playing a version this deck for most of this season and have been having a lot of success with it. It's also a lot of fun to play.

I don't have Mysterio either, and at first I was using Domino but she didn't seem to be adding much and I was worried about her making it harder to draw Sara.

I subbed in Star Lord instead, and I've found he fits into the deck really well. I save him until Turn 6 after dropping Sara, and it's usually a lot easier to guess where the opponent will be dropping a card that turn making him a 1/5 while buffing up Bishop and/or Angela.

After playing an Ultron deck to knock out the season pass missions I decided to go a little zany with a deck. I am trying to make a deck that really messes with your opponent's hand while still giving you bonuses for doing so. I've just played about six games in a row and won five of them, so I'm having fun even if I know it's probably not that good.

I realized after the fact I basically built a Hela deck without the Hela, but it still works in its own weird way. Mainly trying to discard the opponent's cards and use Lady Sif into Ghost Rider to cheat out a big card early. If you don't draw any of the big cards early you have a decent chance of discarding Black Cat which works in a pinch. The new card Stature that is eventually coming would work great in this deck with Moon Knight and Black Bolt buffing her. (Stature is a 5/7 that costs 1 if your opponent discarded anything this game.)

Every set of 4 boxes will be either a card, credit, tokens, or cosmetics. So in a set of 8 boxes you could open a card on box 1 and 8 or on box 4 and 5, for instance.

After I read this I checked the shop to see if she was in there so I could grab it right away. No dice. I'm still missing about half of the Series 3 cards. But drat, you could Black Widow into Lady Sif(who discards Odin), then Ghost Rider into Odin and just fill their whole hand. That's the dream.

I'd never even thought about using Beast until this post, now I've slotted it into my movement deck and it's pretty fuckin gross. It really helps make Cloak/Torch into some straight busted poo poo

That's unlucky. You must have got tokens in box 1 of the block you were in and box 4 of the next block.

Re: M'Baku - KMBest just got the most legendary M'Baku ever when he won two lanes with it. It won the lane it landed in, and being removed from the deck shrank his opponent's Darkhawk to break a tie in another.

Free fist is sweet but man does an extra Cloak make a crazy amount of difference. I've also twice now hit a cloak on 5 with New York as one of the locations, and having full movement to 2 different spaces is some impossible mental math for most opponents, I've done some *very* confusing things haha

Movement is great when you can wrap your head around it. I do wish there was a way to move units to the right other than Cloak or New York/Bifrost.

Also Beast is great for Angela/Bishop or any character whose stats increase since they keep those increases after going back into your hand. A 1/8 Angela that you can continue to buff is powerful.

I've built my own version of this deck, and I have titled it, "I'm Losing!"

Extra rule: At the start of turn 6, emote "I'm Losing!" whatever the circumstances.

Occasionally it's even true.

This has been true from the start of the token shop, it’s just very rare. It’s a 2.5% chance for the shop to show you an “Ultimate Variant” on any given rotation assuming you are not S3 complete.
