Cool variant! And with Zabu/Surfer nerfed and Shuri intact, that's going to be a very useful card if you've got her.

this is the water
I only recently got into discard decks despite having a lot of the pieces early on, I know people go(or did) crazy about hell cow and ghost rider while they were just collecting virtual dust for me. But I dunno, when MODOK got datamined people were saying it's only use would be in meme Hela decks. And maybe it is a meme deck, but it's pretty easy to know when to snap/retreat, and if you are snapping a lot of the time you can do it by turn 4 so you don't scare off the opponent. Early days and all, and I have no desire to use a deck tracker, but I'm thinking I can climb pretty high with it.

I like the battle mode ideas at the end of this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VmlLGajF1VA

And I am inspired.

Would anyone be interested in an absurd 10 player DRAFT league where we each draft one card, for 16 rounds, and then run through a tournament with whatever deck we are able to cobble together? You'd have a 4 card "bench" to sub cards in, and there'd be some interesting completely unfair and silly draft day shenanigans with pool 3+ cards where you have to consider its intrinsic value vs. how many other people are likely to have access to it.

Can vouch, this is very fun!

I wasn't in a hurry to theorycraft MODOK fun before but now that I've put a deck together and seen early results, I'm suddenly exploring all kinds of stupid ideas. Morbius Wong MODOK Swarm + Collector while Zabu is still pre-nerf... I've been running Hood + Quinjet alongside Moongirl for double 0-cost Demons, as well as what she does with Swarm and Wolvie for when MODOK lands...If only I had Dracula for Apoc fun, too, man, but I uh already named 12 cards in this post

--just got destroyed by a MODOK + Hela (I don't have her neither) behind an Invisible Woman... This card has some solid combo potential

Don't think I'll buy it myself but I theorycrafted Invisible Woman -> Wave -> Hela behind Invisible Woman -> MODOK - topdeck.

Is the combo reliable? Absolutely not. But if I had MODOK, would I try it all the time? Yes

EDIT: Is there an analysis of this month's bundles somewhere to see if it's worth it? The Deadpool one looks like good value, but this Mr. Negative one...I dunno. I think maybe the tokens are worth it but it's still steep.

For the cetaceans among us, Snap Zone doesn't use the smartest method of determining dollar equivalent prices. They say that 8k gold is $114, but if you go through the Nuverse store, set location to Philippines and buy the biggest bundle it will "only" cost you $95. Still not worth it for a poor variant, less than the gold value in credits and half an S5 card, though.

Yeah, a straight conversion of gold to credits is 8000g for 10000c. The bundle is 8000g and gives you 6000c. You really have to judge for yourself if the rest of the bundle is worth those extra 4000 credits for you. The 3000 tokens to buy Shuri perhaps?

(It gets too tricky for me to calculate what the extra value would be of the season pass XP if you use all that gold into 2 extra missions.)

They also datamined another bundle featuring a great looking Mystique variant, but since it comes with credits and gold it will very likely be cash only (no price yet).

Thanks for that tip, I used to buy the season pass which goes for 12 eurobucks on steam like a dumbass when apparently I could've gotten it for 8 fiddy. Will definitely use that in the future instead. Maybe shell out for the birthpool pack, I dunno, because 85€ is still too steep to justify buying for just 6000 creds, 3000 collector tokens and a variant.

Lane 1: 3 unimportant cards and Ebony Maw, Location unimportant.
Lane 2: 3 unimportant cards, Location is Manhattan.

On the turn Manhattan is active, why the gently caress can't I play something on Lane 1 if I move Ebony Maw to Lane 2? He still counts as being in Lane 1 while simultaneously no longer being there, in the turn order, or is the game order dictating that the move and the play happen at the EXACT same time? This is stupid, by this logic even without Ebony Maw the above scenario should STILL block you from playing in the freed-up space on the turn you move because, according to this, at the same moment you move a card out the lane STILL has 4 cards and you can't play cards into full lanes, right?!

here come the planes
moves happen before cards get played once a turn happens, and before then all card effects stay active. it's a little annoying that you can't do a play of 'new card in loc B, move ebony maw from loc A to loc B, new card in loc A' but not resolving moves first does some immediate much weirder things to several mechanics, not the least of which is cards that add cards to other locations

If you'd played your cards in Lane 2 before moving Maw you would have been fine. Was there a reason why you couldn't?

???? How can I move Maw to 2 if I've already used up the one slot remaining there? The cards I mentioned as "unimportant" are already in both lanes before the turn.

The winning move was moving Maw to 2 and playing a card from hand in 1. Playing a card directly on 2 and keeping Maw in 1 lost the game.

The game already accounts for sequencing in the resolution process, which is why when you play like 4 cards in a turn but don't lock it in and want to redo you have to pull them back to hand in the inverse order you played them.

If the game already gives a poo poo and pays lipservice to sequencing I don't understand why my scenario played out the way it did. I mean, no, I get it now and your explanation helped, but this still comes across as really stupid in this particular scenario.

.: Wait maybe I didn't explain myself well: Location 1 was full at the start of the turn Manhattan becomes active, 3 cards + Maw. Location 2 had three cards and was Manhattan. I figured I SHOULD be able to move Maw to Manhattan and play a card in the slot Maw frees up. But NOPE, even though the game cares about sequencing Maw is in a quantum state of being physically in Manhattan (since LOOK, once I drag him over I can't play any more cards there! there are FOUR CARDS IN MANHATTAN) while STILL blocking Location 1 with his effect.

I mean, I kinda get it but at the same time this seems really stupid to me.
