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)?

It’s all throwing money away but in order of efficiency, the welcome bundle, jubilee/lunar new year bundle/and the season pass are all reasonably good deals. Zabu is going to get tweaked next week but you’d still get a full week with him and there are other good rewards on the season pass track. With regard to your deck a mystique/moon girl/dino deck sounds like a pretty reasonable one. Sticking with a deck and working on when to retreat (probably more than you are) and when to snap (ditto) will give you the biggest returns

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.


Yeah, same (but reverse of what you want to do) with Rescue, though with her the animation effect is pretty apparent that it stays with the location she was originally played at.

1 in 4 is accurate but they can be 7 boxes away from one another because they’re in pools of 4.

It's not a 1/4 chance, it's a guarantee.

Every group of 4 reserves has 1 each of these:

-card
-credits
-tokens
-cosmetic

The first group of reserves starts with 1006, 1018, 1030, 1042. It will contain 1 card. The next is 1054, 1066, 1078, 1090. Again, 1 card.

And so on.

Obviously if your first card is in 1006 and the second in 1090, it may seem that you're getting less than 1/4, but in the end you still opened 8 reserves and got 2 cards.

(But yes, progress does slow tremendously.)

In more positive discussion, at the end of last week I decided to try climbing again versus just using completely goofy decks for fun. I started at about 29 and am up to 66 as of this writing. I'll see how far I can go with one week left.

Hypothetically can't he bounce around multiple times? Plus he can get kicked to areas that are otherwise inaccessible like Sanctum if you're lucky. (Unless they changed all that in the patch)

I'd like to point out that the dev buzz we're getting is not dissimilar to what we got back during Hearthstone's early days, and if the same leads who came over to do Snap still hold to the same principles as back then all we'll get is very irregular nerfs that annihilate cards and no buffs ever. Either a card is left to poison the meta for an insane length of time or action is taken that renders it nigh-on unplayable, no in-between.

I will ofc be happy to be wrong on this.

His secret buff is that you forget he's still in your opponent's hand.

Got a math question:
I know they messed about with how Onslaught and Mystique's doubling ongoing effects work. As I understood it, effects would be additive, and not multiplicative. I thought I understood the change, but my math skills are failing me.
Shouldn't Blue Marvel having his +1 quadrupled twice grant everyone +8 power? 2x2x1+2x2x1 = 8 (originally it would have been 4x4x1)? Why is it +6? The only way I get to 6 is if his +1 gets doubled to +2 (that would be the base effect of Onslaught/Mystique's doubling), and then he gets a +4 because one of the others got doubled (somehow it doesn't care that Mystique and Onslaught are doubling each other)?

Zodack
Aug 3, 2014
Blue Marvel gives +1 base.
Mystique doubles (+2), and changes Onslaught to quadruple (+4)

That's probably the +6 math. Each applies individually.

E: oh right, Onslaught on Mystique. I guess they don't interact together like you guess

Re: the 1 in 4 caches having a card, what I have been doing is just wait until you have 2200 credits to upgrade and crack caches. That way I always get 1 card. Each cache takes 600 credits worth of upgrades, you get 4x50 credits along the CL path. You can start at 2100 if you have 4 greys to upgrade. Guarantee a new card every ~3 days.

Have to be at the beginning of a group of 4, which starts here

And I'm pretty sure the first group of 40 (for pool 4 cards) also starts at 1006. And then 1486, 1966, 2446, 2926, 3406, ...

Would you like to play a game?



Looking at the future release cards, to me the best ones appear to be Stature, Nimrod, maybe Snowguard? Not sure how that ability will work. Master Mold seems like it pairs well with Darkhawk (although most people don't have that card yet), and Silk/Ghost-Spider I have no idea. I don't really play move decks often.

I assumed using Polaris to pull someone over to the bridge would trigger it. It killed Bucky and someone else who was there but then stopped with 2 cards left. I understand that they didn't originate there but shouldn't the location keep killing them since there's more than 1 card there?

Vibranium can't be destroyed, and I'm assuming Winter Solider was created by Bucky dying at the end of Turn 6, so it exists outside the location checking state? Similar to how Attuma under Invisible Woman can't die after Turn 6 because the game is over.

Yeah, nothing about Mystiques ability requires a card to still be on the board. Alive or dead, Iron Man was still "the last card you played". Though, "has" does kind of imply present tense, so I get you.
