Doc Ock is really good against certain types of deck and in certain types of deck. Turn 3 Electro, turn 4 Doc Ock empties your hand, turn 5 KNEEL BEFORE GALACTUS has won more than a few games.

That’s a brutal list of uncollected cards. I don’t think anyone should be playing a deck without death right now.

Now I’m just missing electro, Thor and quake. And the non winter variant of patriot, it’s gonna feel real bad when I pull that.

That's brutal. The worst part is that they'll probably nerf (fix) Leader just when you get him too. I'm also in that club.

And the "have winter patriot, now anxious about a future wasted pull" one too. Jealous that you managed to leave quake to the end though. Pulling her last to exit Pool 3 is probably the only good way to do that.

Let's get drunk and kiss each other all night.
Is it possible to max out the boosters for a card, like you’ve got all the variants maxed out. Do they just stop giving boosters for that or does it keep piling up pointlessly?

That would take a hell of a long time though unless someone just hoarded all credits for upgrading one card.

You continue to accumulate boosters for that card. During beta, when there were fewer split variations, a few players maxed out their agatha.

Earlier this morning I had two people in a row drop Shang-Chi on T6. One of those I won and the other I lost. I just find it odd that this is becoming a thing all of a sudden, or maybe it’s bots

The other day I opened Destroyer and tried to put together a Spectrum Destroyer deck, but I wasn't really happy with it. Part of the problem was that I was trying to make Mojo work in it, and he really does not. So last night I decided to try and make a deck that he does work in, and here's what I came up with:

# (1) Ant Man
# (1) Squirrel Girl
# (2) Angela
# (2) Black Widow
# (2) Daredevil
# (2) Mojo
# (2) Cloak
# (3) Green Goblin
# (3) Debrii
# (5) Hobgoblin
# (5) Blue Marvel
# (5) Aero

This deck is rude as gently caress, but it's actually really fun to pilot, and surprisingly flexible. You kind of just lose to destroy decks most of the time, which is especially a problem right now, but otherwise I've been getting some solid results with it.

Someone tried to do this against me earlier, except Scarlet Witch turned it into Hala. It was incredibly funny.

Doom Wong is fun when it works



Nothing crazy I just liked it. I lost/retreated on something like 8 games in a row last night so I'm just happy I won one finally. I think I need to stop building so many decks and hunker down on one or two and really learn them.

I basically only drop Shang chi t6 unless I think leech is coming, if you drop it earlier they can adjust their plan or retreat.

I'm not at a point where I care as much, but I powered through 63 and have just been getting curbstomped today.. Not sure what the problem is but I'm just having terrible RNG with my decks, I'll get to round 5 and realize I have nothing noteworthy fielded and wonder what I've done the whole game.

a huge part of the game is just dealing with variance, whether that's from your draws or the locations you hit. see if there's things about your deck construction that can make your gameplan a bit more resilient to bad draws, and never forget that knowing when to retreat from a match isn't giving up but is instead just as much of a thing to get good at while playing

Exactly. Like if T1 they get an infinaut dropped on their side and you get an antman, just leave. Especially if they snap. Don’t stick around for 4 draws hoping you get a Shang chi (and have to spend 4 energy wiping out something they got for free). That’s an extreme example but if they get a huge break or are clearly hitting their draws, just leave as soon as you have to put in more cubes.

The thing that really absolutely unnerves me about featured locations is 9 times out of 10, it's a location that sucks poo poo and would be fine if it showed up once in a while but in 40% of games it's just exhausting to deal with, especially for 2 days. I literally have gotten to the point where I do my dailies on wednesday and thursday and don't really play much else.

It doesn't help that every loving time, without fail, when I try and have a deck going for the location, it repeatedly just gets absolutely curb stomped by every element of rng or opponent play possible.

Also gently caress this location, it's bad and Ben Brode should feel bad for introducing it to us. It feels like it ALWAYS shows up as location 3 which is just the absolute worst location for it to be in.

They really do need to have a month or two of somewhat relatively neutral locations. Or up the likelihood that Ruins shows up as a natural location.

While I can't say I'm a fan of the recent round of locations, all new locations are Featured when they're introduced to the game. It's done so that nobody can get blindsided by a brand new location.

I suppose most of my annoyance is the new locations all seem "fun" on paper in reality kinda suck. The "only 6 cost cards can be played here" one coming up also sucks badly so I can't wait to get upset about that location probably next week.

The "Only 6s can be played here" place is going to be great because people can't Storm, Rhino, Scarlett Witch, or Magik it.

It's worded as "cost 6", so you can't play She-Hulk (or Death) on it unless she's actually at 6 energy.
