Is there an effective counter to Dracula/Infinaut/Ghost Rider/Death decks? They're all the rage right now and I don't have any of those cards

Yeah, when you say it will be in the next patch I am expecting tweets or Discord screenshots from somebody on the dev team. Otherwise it's just speculation and hearsay.

They're all the rage right now and I don't have any of those cards Winning the other two lanes usually works. Tongue in cheek aside, Moon Knight and Maximus are both fair counters to Dracula. MK takes away the card he was holding, and Maximus adds cards to reduce the chance of Dracula hitting the Infinaut. The other, slightly more complex counter to Dracula is Invisible Woman. If you put her and Shang-Chi in his Dracula lane, Shang will reveal after Dracula discards.

I've been trying Hela decks with Invisible Woman and they feel extremely fragile and draw-dependant, as well as extremely easily counterable in a great variety of ways, including Enchantress, Cosmo or Rogue. I thought I'd enjoy the discard deck archetype but it doesn't feel consistent at all.

I've been playing the last couple days and found that instead of only going for "safe" discards behind Invisible Woman, it can help to just clench your butt and let the discards fly. Drop that Blade T1 etc, and accept that sometimes you're gonna have to quickly bail and lose a cube.

I climbed the 50's in one evening with Hela Discard sort of by accident. Just playing games not really looking at rank. The big thing was how poorly people played snaps. I mean I'm dropping invisible woman, I'm discarding cards left and right... What do people think is going to happen on turn 6?! I'm sure at higher levels it's less effective because the opponent will just bail if you've got the nuts but it works a treat at lower tiers.

Any good Agatha decks going around? I gave her a try now that I have Ghost Rider and it just feels bad? There's so many other ways to cheat out stats, that the chance to drop a 14 point body doesn't seem worth having your deck play itself like a loving idiot for 3-6 turns

A good Agatha deck is one run after hitting Infinite.

The basics of any Agatha deck are basically "create a ramp discard deck to get rid of her as quickly as possible and then play the game"

They're all the rage right now and I don't have any of those cards I’ve been running this the last few days in the high 90s (made it to 99.1 this morning before falling back to 98.0  my thoughts for how I lose:1) you probably won’t see a lot of games played out against this deck if I don’t draw zabu. If it’s t5 and Zabu’s not in the board, consider snapping. Hopefully you will have a bunch more power on the board than me since I basically do nothing until t3 (or t4 if I miss zabu) 2) if you have a game where drac is on the board, zabu is on the board, and you’ve seen sif discard infinaut or death, consider retreating. This is basically a high roll for me. You can try to play cosmo if you have priority to block my ghost rider, or play aero on t6 to make me fill my lane so ghost rider won’t work. If I have priority of course you can play Shang chi where you think ghost rider is going. 3) I lost most to aero loving with my jubilee or ghost rider, enchantress or rogue wiping my zabu, or decks like ultron/patriot that pumps power across all three lanes without good Shang chi targets. 4) sometimes you’ll just win a coin flip on drac and win. It’s rare that I have one card left in hand and know exactly what I’m getting.

Orka is probably second worst card in game behind baron mordo. Just a weak card that doesnt work with any of the ongoing payoffs.

I think the Leech is what saves me from turn six Surfer Shenanigans. I’ve gotten a lot of single cubes from folks who practically skip the first four turns and drop Sera on the fifth. Maximum on 4 and Leech on 5 is dastardly.

People keep mentioning using Invisible Woman to protect Hela from being discarded but I don't get how it works (I don't have Invisible Woman so I can't try). Invisible Woman stops a card from being revealed until the end of game, I get how that stops the discard and sets up the On Reveal, but how do you play Hela early on that row?

Because the discards dont happen until after you've played hela. IW -> sword master -> hell cow -> Hela all on the same lane.

You don't play Hela early, you play it into the Invisible lane on turn 6. Then at end of game, when things go off in played order, the discards go off first and Hela goes off last.

 End of Turn 4, I have one open space in the right lane, opponent has two. We both Hobgoblin on T5. My Hobgoblin goes over, theirs does NOT. I think this is because pre-flip, there were no open slots on my side? Surprised me they got stuck with both Hobgoblins and retreated.

You don’t even need to play hela in the IW lane at all if you don’t want to or can’t. Actually I don’t remember now and I’m phone posting, maybe you do need to. Kaddish fucked around with this message at 18:27 on Jan 26, 2023 |

First location reveals....Fisk Tower. Opponent plays Dagger there on turn 2. I'm thinking, ok, let's see where this goes. Second location is Xandar and third location is Mirror dimension which on turn 4 turns into....Fisk Tower. Dude's played Vulture and Doctor Strange at this point. Hell yeah I'm gonna snap. No way this is gonna go all 6 turns but if it is, I'm gonna get me 4. Dude's been playing standard move cards including Kraven in Fisk Tower 1 and I just don't see what they're thinking. Turn 6 they play...Heimdall. Their entire board is loving destroyed in the move. I'm honestly a little dumbfounded at this. I really want to know what they thought would happen.

Fisk tower and kingpin are my two favourite things and people always seem to forget or not realize the danger they are in. Kingpin on a T4 with wave on T5 and aero + free death on T6 where she yanks cards for kingpin to smash is my favourite play of all time.

By the way, I'm salty as gently caress at the company right now. I don't know if anybody recalls my little saga of not being able to play for the first 10 days of January, but in compensation they gave everybody affected a mighty 500 Gold. That's it. 500 gold. Less than $10 in the store. I didn't get any daily rewards, no daily credits, no daily quests, nothing of the sort for TEN FULL DAYS. Plus we were unable to get the Sunspot bundle if we wanted to, our store didn't update for weeks so we couldn't have bought any variants or anything from the collectors set. 500 Gold. And to top it all off, there wasn't even anything officially announced, they're suddenly claiming on Discord after enough of us asked about it that they gave it to us back on January 13th but they didn't decide to tell anybody that they gave it to us on January 13th until over a week later, so as far as I know it's just bullshit just shut us up and we never actually got anything because it was all bundled with whatever cashes we hadn't open previously, so there's absolutely no way for any of us to verify whether or not we got the 500 gold that they're saying we got.

New Leaf posted:Are you implying that they generally consider the consequences of their actions? Hah, fair point. The thing is, without Death, I think the Destroy locations would be much more interesting, but the way it is why would you not pass up a better synergy for an already strong deck? Also, that sucks. I read a state of the game they gave recently, and they were asked about your particular issue, and their response did seem pretty... underwhelming. Just a "we fixed it, email us" without directly addressing how disruptive it was.

Absolutely my favorite move with the new location is if they don't clear it out to Armor it next turn and let it sit there. Sometimes people try to make it work by dropping Ironheart which just makes this even more chef's kiss because turn 6 is Enchantress my Armor then Killmonger as the last card. 8 cubes from someone who thought it was way more important to Iceman my Sentinel than clear out their rocks. They backed themselves into a corner by adding Ebony Maw on top of the Iceman forcing them to have to play Ironheart on the Superflow turn 4. They still thought it was worthwhile to snap back after I dropped Sera turn 4. I just don't get some people's logic in this game.

It sucks to have to jump through hoops like that but sometimes companies will give more to people who bother to write out a bit more of how they were impacted. They're just hoping most people will forget about it and keep playing/giving them money.

The last month or so of Snap is really feeling like an excellent argument for not spending any more money on Snap, and this featured location is an exclamation point. gently caress me for not having Death I guess. At least I'm only down the cost of a couple battle passes.
