Help.

Whatever you get will likely be needed if it’s good? That may feel worse knowing you spent real money.

If you’re balling and time is more valuable to you than money then go for it.

Killing Leader is a good shoot, but it's kind of disappointing how inelegant it is.

I think it's pretty funny that a lot of people are pretending like this is their first and only emblematic vision of how they are going to do Nerfs/Buffs. when we've already seen a few stat tweaks and they did even more adjustments during the beta.

If anyone is curious, here's a video of some card change history (ignore the terrible thumbnail). Lots of current staples were quite different during Beta and they are still totally playable and game staples.

Gonna make a brood/ leader deck where you drop Wong in the right lane and copy their turn 7 surfer

Seems like Leader would still be alright? Just gotta play a deck built around him more. Storm left side, Spidey middle on turn 5, Leader middle turn 6. 7 power drop plus whatever they play is a decent turn. You can't just drop him anywhere at any time now and get a win out of nowhere which would happen on occasion with him before.

So with Absorbing Man I've now opened my last pool 3 card. Well, for now.

I wonder what the best strategy is now for opening more reserves. Not open any until right after a drop? Seems kinda boring though.

If you are pool 3 complete, yes. You will guarantee those drops in your next X caches after a drop.

3. 100 collector
4. Hela
5. Death - first form variant
6. Avatar - Giganto
7. Titania
8. 100 collector tokens

15. 400 credit
16. Captain Marvel
17. Agatha - classic variant
18. 100 collector
19. Viper
20. Colleen Wig - variant where she has a cat <3
21. 300 credits
22. Lockjaw
23. 100 collector
24. 300 credit
25. Title - This Matchmaking Sucks

Trip report: would have preferred shuri or bast but skrull seems fun when he hits. Titania could be cool, wanted cage more but interested in trying her.

I got lockjaw! That card has been a pain in my side so happy to try my own version. Still no Magneto :( probably the main meta card I want to slot into my decks. 9 cards left in series 3 so he can't holdout forever

I literally just got Leader the other day and I barely got to try him. And I got Shuri last night before she dropped pool's.

I am thankful for the otherwise lucky pulls but... the timing.

Yeah... but you get a lot more credits than you need to open those reserves.

So I guess the best way is to figure out how many credits you need to guarantee opening the new pool 3 cards after a drop, saving those, and just use the rest to open up reserves. Because those card boxes will then contain tokens.

But there's still the pool 4 card you get every 40 reserves. It would suck getting a card as your pool 4 card right before it dropped to 3.

I’ve been sitting on Mystique because like Abs Man she seems to be a card that fits into any deck w/ good Ongoings? While Abs Man fits into any deck you’d want to double up on On Reveals with?

New Leader just requires setup now. Anything that lets you play him early, and activate him in both the middle lane and the left lane has potential.

Wave + Leader + Beast/Absorbing Man should work well.

How close are you to finishing Pool 3? Because if you are close, you will get Abs man as a matter of course very soon.

Occurs to me that the new Leader is disqualified from Galactus decks. That's a huge deal for those decks which previously could put the opponent in a double bind of accounting for both the possibility that your opponent could play a massive Death+Whatever turn OR they could just play a Leader.

Did galactus decks run leader? I almost always lost to shang chi+death so I never bothered playing T6 out.

I’m still relatively new to the game, and haven’t quite played a full season yet, but man people weren’t kidding when they said that growth comes to a grinding halt with the transition to Reserves. I know they offer a 1/4 chance if a new card but so far that doesn’t seem to be playing out for me that way. I did land Mystique recently so she’s been fun :toot: I’m looking forward to assembling some of the decks without having to include budget substitutions.

I’ve been inching through the 50s for like a week and just can’t seem to crack 60 with my cheapo Blue Kazoo deck or DoubleDino (thanks to the aforementioned Mystique). Any tips for efficient progression (ie, not throwing money away)?

Got through 408CL of reserves and the worst part is actually all the animations around upgrading and opening. It gets old.

Very first pack was Orka, my next card was Dazzler 84CL later. Top-tier cards with great synergy, I'm so lucky to get these series 4 and 5 blessings.

In order to get the buff, you can't play anything at the location she was originally played, even if she moves from there.

The animated effect can be buggy if she moves, but it will still grant the bonus consistently.

Edit: I misread your question, I see you're asking about the location moving, not the card. I think in that case you can't play anything on the original location, but I'm not 100% sure on that.

You cannot play a card in the location she was played in no matter where it moves to. It's an edge case interaction but yes.

The card says "here" but it should read location.

Edit: f,b

To add more content, a new datamined variant is an instant buy when I see it in shop.

Honestly, we'd have to know what S3 cards you have to be any help. Though you're probably just stuck in the 50's anyway.
