I sort of wish they totally redesigned Surfer. I never understood how his card translates to his comic (cosmic) powers. In the back of my head, I sort of remember he could bestow a little of the power cosmic to others maybe?

Oh hey cool, beaten by 3 cards, two of which I have never seen played at my super low CL and rank. Don't even know how I would counter this if I didn't have Cosmo ready to go.

Time to get the drop on some Surfer and Zabu decks.

I mean, you have a bunch of pool 3 cards in your deck and Panther was a season pass card. Wong/Panther/Odin or Zola combos used to be really popular, seems to have dropped off for some reason. Maybe will come back in the new Zabu/Surfer-less meta.

Wong is probably the easiest threat to out, but if left alone has the highest damage potential. He's the only card whose lane folds to Enchantress, Rogue, Cosmo, Juggernaut, and Aero all in one (did I miss any there?).

Actually just realized I took out Falcon and some 1-drops earlier today. I should replace Armor in this version, not sure with what. Hulkbuster?

vv I restarted my client and it changed.

Really? My Zabu and Surfer still appear the same as before, and by the number of inked out Zabu/Darkhawk and Negative Surfer lists I’m running into right now with the absolute nuts game after game, theirs are unchanged too.

Goose, as long as it isn't a Surfer or Gambit setup. They get their turn 5 play before Goose activates, but that isn't the end of the world.

Alternatively a turn 5 goblin, Viper or Debrii will stop their Odin from finishing an Ironheart, Tiger, Wong lane. Could probably get Titania there too.

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

Well, that was a satisfying match. They snap, fist bump when Mystique copies Devil Dino...Then my cards fire off, including Tie-Die Hob Goblin and Misty Knight. Winning on a 1 drop is very satisfying.



Edit: Beast is in the deck because I just got him and was grinding points.

Helicarrier and Collector are real MVPs of MODOK decks I'm finding. If you can get carrier in hand and collector on the board, you can do serious numbers.

Honestly, after trying her, Mystique is underperforming. Like, if I get her on turn 3 with Morbius on turn 2, or my 6-drops have taken a powder and I have to do them together on turn 5, it works, but... otherwise, it falls flat.

^^You monster!

Last season I made it to 96 with a Zabu/Surfer/Negative deck. I wasn't winning more matches but I was able to put out ridiculous power on turn 6 with Wong, meaning I won way more 8 cube matches. Now Zabu feels more in-line with the other cards and I'll go back to grinding.

You counter this by retreating.

I have all of pool 3, but I haven't been running a lot of decks that have a counter to Wong, and even less that have the priority to use that counter effectively.

The only times in the last month and a half that Wong has beaten me, were if they pulled some Zabu and/or Negative poo poo that drops everything on turn 6. If they play it earlier I'm outta there.

You counter this by teching in Cosmo or Shang. Shang is more versatile, since you can use him whether or not you have priority. Professor X can also shut this down if you have priority.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not having a good time to play Morbin Time and Mystique after each other as well as everything else I need to make Morb big. Honestly I'm running Lockjaw instead and it feels better.

This thread is beneath my talent, but I....shall elevate it.
I'm not entirely convinced 2-2 Zabu is bad. Like, oh no you can't Spiderman AbsMan anymore what a crime, how terrible that interaction is removed for the most part

I'm going to assume Zabu will slot right into something like Sera Control and feel just fine. Seems like being able to Shang Chi, Enchantress, other 2 drop t6 might be really good.
