Putting Zabu to 2 clears up some awkward crowding that it felt on turn 3 at the expense of less explosive power/blowouts that the previous Zabu offered.

In all seriousness though, I just started messing with a MODOK Swarm discard deck and it's fun as hell. After the initial learning curve I'm on a winning streak with it.

So, I bought Thanos from the shop the other day and then promptly forgot about him because I was at work and got busy.

I'm trying to do a Lockjaw Zoo sort of thing with him. So far, it's been mixed results. Basically, if it works, it works, and if it doesn't, then I have a bunch of stones on the field and not much power to show for it.

So far the biggest downsides have been not getting Lockjaw onto the field to cycle stones/losing the Lockjaw roulette when he summons Wasp, and my opponent retreating before turn 6 because the deck was hitting just right and they saw which way the wind was going to blow.

Man, I can't believe the number of Pool 3 cards I still don't have, despite being CL 2030 and playing since mid November.

I'm missing, from what I can tell:
Adam Warlock
Black Bolt
Captain Marvel
Crystal
Dagger
Daredevil
Deadpool
Debri
Doctor Doom
Falcon
Gambit
Juggernaut
Magneto
Moon Knight
Polaris
Psylocke
Omega Red
Quake
Ronan
Thor


Pool 4 all I've got is She-Hulk and Titania. Really want to get Luke Cage to try out a Wong/Hazmat/Typhoid Mary type of deck.
Pool 5 is about the same, just have Valkyrie and Silver Surfer, though I guess Valkyrie is pool 4 now, and Surfer I only have because of the Season Pass. Got BP pinned in the token shop, at least.

I play a bunch of Thanos, I don't like too many small cards with Lockjaw because Thanos is already adding 6 1-1s to your deck, you don't really want to be swapping those with a 2-1 or a 0-1 for example.

This is currently my Thanos lockjaw deck if you want to see what works for me.

Well yeah, I'm just trying to think of how to make it more consistent. I've seen a few that forgo Kazar and try to go harder on the Lockjaw angle, but I feel like he's helpful as an extra win con, or to supplement one

I ranked up from 70-85 with thanos lockjaw over the last couple of days. my thoughts are:

(1) dump wasp with extreme prejudice. you don't need it, the stones are your lockjaw fuel.
(2) black widow doesn't seem to fit your deck and is a brutal lockjaw hit, would also dump that and run armor to protect quinjet or your lockjaw lane against shang
(3) i like vision as a lockjaw hit you can move out and create more space for more lockjaw targets
(4) i like aero as an alternate win condition. ditto magneto. both are also good lockjaw hits. i run those over okoye and ka-zar (i don't like having lots of stones on my board end of game so kazar isn't really great for me)
(5) so I run: sunspot, quinjet, armor, lockjaw, blue marvel, vision, aero, thanos, chavez, she-hulk, magneto, infinaut

sometimes it definitely bonks and you dont draw a stone.

sometimes you get t5 retreats when your lockjaw pulls infinaut or whatever. If I have quinjet on the board and i'm going to drop lockjaw + muiltiple stones (especially mind stone) I always snap first - if your stones are in hand almost all your lockjaw pulls are going to be good

It’s simple math that you don’t finish P3 until like CL 3300 depending on token usage. That said, your pulls at 2000 have been really good and your missing list isn’t bad at all.

It should be 4 per month long term. Same rate at which cards are added to the game (1 per week).

Series 5 cards are a 1 in 400 chance out of reserves. They basically don't exist outside of the Token shop. You aren't even on the wrong side of the opening odds until CL 4,800.

Edit: or maybe 5,300 since I don't know if S5 cards are valid for the sub-500 progression caches. Looks like they are. That's nice?

Probably gonna drop Mystique from this soon, the only thing really worth copying here is Klaw. Double Sera if you can cheat her out on 4 is fun, but it requires a lot of things to go right and tbh you might just be better off playing something that's actually contributing power instead.

I'm also finding that Shang Chi doesn't do much a lot of the time? Unlike most Sera control decks I tend to have priority going into 6 more often than not.

I've been running so many Lockjaw decks recently. Just absolutely dumb casino bullshit in my dumb casino game.

Got MODOK? Throw him in a Lockjaw deck.
Got Thanos? Throw him in a Lockjaw deck.
Got Jane Foster and Thor? That's just begging for a Lockjaw deck.
Zabu? You know that's gonna be a Lockjaw deck.

The constant cycling of poo poo just absolutely throws people off.

Just won 2 separate games by running Thanos Lockjaw and playing the space stone + 2 other stones on him then moving him to another lane and doing that poo poo all over again.

The only counter to the goodest boy is the other goodest boy Cosmo. Even the goodest friend Goose can't stop him since you're just using small poo poo as tokens.

I don't always win but I do have fun.

That makes sense. I just hardly ever play Enchantress/Cosmo/Rogue unless I'm doing something control-y. Most decks I worry about doing my thing rather than react to what the opponent is doing, which may be why I suuuuuuuck.
