Is Ghost Rider a worthwhile pull with tokens? I only have 1100 so not like I'm going to be able to afford something expensive soon.

what s3 cards are you missing? this tier list is reasonable, it has ghost rider as a b tier right next to debrii which is fair imo

Buying random cards with tokens won't do anything except make you token poor. Figure out the cards you need for the decks you want to play and buy those.

Uhh I'm missing more than I have from the look of that list. Also, is Dazzler really meant to be unobtainable? Because I totally have her..

Dazzler's the new Pool 5 card. She's hard to get now but in 2 months she should be in pool 3.

just tried the second list, its very stupid but you definitely get a max-strength dino and a pretty good mystique at the end, also the carrier dropping like groot and bucky barnes in my hand was pretty funny

update, i took opponent's darkhawk with cable, then played it on 4, then dino on 5, then mystique + sif on 6 (discarding helicarrier) to give dino and mystique +6 each and win the game. this deck rules.

I wonder if it will be possible to make a decent deck that is all characters on a team, like I don't think there are 12 SHIELD or Guardians characters but it's pretty close. You could probably do 12 all mutants.

If it makes you feel better, my first reserve after they launched the Pool 4/5 initial cards was Super Skrull who seemed incredibly OP at the time but....has seen like zero usage once I realized I really don't want to steal a lot of ongoing effects.

Been a while since I played Sera/Surfer deck and switched to it, feels good to play again. Also a turn 6 play of a 3 cost on reveal followed by Surfer and then dropping Cosmo on the same location with priority is a hella good play, especially if you're pinned into one or two lanes. Just stopped an Ironheart to Tiger to Odin play with it.

Sometimes when you play a deck too long it begins to feel bad because you know it so well and spend too much time overthinking things.

No. If you hit 61 and drop to 59, you will start the next season at 20. 20-30 is all bots though, I dropped to 20 this month and got back to 60 easily enough.

I think they really missed an opportunity here for good design and themeing with teams like that having built in synergy or at least a consistent theme like they did with the Guardians gimmick. Xmen, Avengers, Sinister 6, there are countless teams they could build around. It could make for good easy to get into decks for casual players and more interesting deck building by having similar effects across the power and cost scale.

Shield has a common gimmick too, but yeah there should be more

Avengers and X-Men are probably too big though since like 90% of the Marvel Universe has been in one or the other or both of those groups

Lol this was my first Series 4 as well. I actually get some mileage out of it recently with a Hela deck, it can be nice to keep my hand from running empty and run some extra interference to prevent Hela from being discarded. Very circumstantial but eh.

I hope they make a big shield payoff card someday like put into play X number of cards that didn't start in your deck or something.

Too bad Moongirl is the real benefactor if they ever do something like that.

Gonna try that Darkhawk/Dino/Helicarrier deck after work. I love grab bag cards with a deck that can use them plus other wincons.

With the introduction to Battle Mode tomorrow, I wonder how long it'll be before we start to see a competitive scene for Snap.

Onslaught's Citadel is the featured location Feb 5 - 6. I plan to bust out my Super Skrull for that. Gotta make that mistake of 6000 tokens count for something.

I would bet it goes the Hearthstone way of "bring 3 decks, matches are best of 3" or something. Sideboarding would be incredibly one note with Cosmo and Enchantress being 100% picks.

Matches being a best of 3/race to 10 cubes is inherently way more interesting than the default best of 1 mode though. That should be the format for competitive ranked and B01 should be no-stakes casual (but still let you progress quests and such).

For some reason looking at this deck made me realize what a good 1 cost card Ant Man is for Surfer decks. Toss him and Brood out on T4 and then come T6 it's an easy 20 lane.

Cap is better because he isn't vulnerable to Elektra or Warmonger and benefits from Surfer's buff.

I had a dream last night that they changed Leader to a 5/0 'Copy the last card your opponent played'. An anti-Taskmaster, if you will. I'm awake now but I still think it might work.

I usually run Punisher rather than Cap in my Surfer deck. I feel like it makes people question what the hell I'm doing. My 1 cost in the deck right now is Iceman so It's not like I'm giving up much to replace him.

These kind of charts don't make any sense to me. Half of them are a measure of how strong the archetype they fit into is and there are also random goodstuff ones in there. Yondu and Zero are not "good in any deck", that's an insane assertion (but it's what the tier list says).

Is the measure like, how much does your winrate improve if you draw this on the correct turn in its archetype? I guess it kind of works that way.

Yeah. For the past like week or two I've been playing almost solidly Control Sera and switching to another deck and playing against it feels incredibly powerful because I know pretty much what cards they're looking for, as well as when and where they're gonna look to put things.
