It is very funny, if ultimately pointless, to play a goblin to a lane the opponent has dropped Wong on, in case there's an Odin coming. Also just a good play in general, since clogging up the lane has a pretty decent chance of disrupting whatever combo they were building towards.

I'm gonna have to take a break from this game. I really do enjoy the mechanics, the animations, the artwork, etc. However, I cannot justify dropping money on this game for just the chance that maybe I'll get the cards I need for a competitive deck. For the same investment of money and time, I can just buy a battle pass or some draft tokens in MTG Arena and hit the mythic ladder within the month consistently. All that being said, if Second Dinner ever does implement a crafting system for cards, I will come back in a heartbeat.

I'm nearly there after today. Dropped from 46 to 38, could not get any single one of my decks to land. Every play I tried is instantly countered and snapped. Took the full day to "win 15 matches" and I'm almost always beaten by cards I don't have. This just isn't fun.

Throne location means it's time for goblin, debrii, and polaris to gently caress




Titania can't be stolen on throne and can make them think they won't get hit by Debrii later, T6 Wong/Haz/Cage combo, goblin/Debrii/Polaris to clog their Throne.

Daily Offer alternate art cards for gold are the payday checking of Snap! Just save your gold for Token bundles. You'll eventually unlock a few non-pixel alts via the ladder and the season pass track anyways.

And then when you get an alt you like, for a deck you actually play, just dump all your credits into that alt to hit the discount 1st upgrade over and over and over.

(I buy the monthly passes which probably net a decent amount of gold so ignore me if you're pure f2p. This post is intended for entertainment purposes and should not be construed as financial advice.)

Nightcrawler's a great idea. If you aren't sure if you even want to contest the throne, Titania is also very good because she can't swap or Ebony Maw is good too. If you're gonna go either route, play into the void on 3 if Throne hasn't shown up, there's a good chance you're right.

Seeing a lot of Killmonger again now too and my Cerebro2 has a couple 1 costs that are vulnerable like iron fist and nightcrawler..

Also interesting interaction on Bar Sinister - We both played morbius on it before it was revealed, and when it was revealed I played rogue who stole morbius' power, but interestingly all her clones had it too. I guess because she smooched him first then got cloned, but I was not expecting it even though it makes perfect sense now that I think about it.

Anyway I modok'd turn 5 and had a massive lane from that :haw:

Why is everyone fist-bumping me every time I win? Its happened no joke 6 times in a row (1 was a thumbs up but same diff)

It would actually be brilliant if the game detected toxicity/good sportsmanship and then threw in a little one-sided indication of "GG" when you win...

But I choose to believe My Reputation Precedes Me.

C3 can't go super wide reliably; you get 6-7 bodies + cerebro + mystique if you don't play any tech cards and your curve is great. You can just play C3 on a low curve and try to eke out extra bodies with Swarm, Multiple Man+Iron Fist, I've even tried Quinjet just for Sentinel. Then if you can't go wide enough, you go home. I would argue that this is a worse C2: less reliable, not much upside, you do get a bit of control but probably not so much that it wins more overall.

The alternative is to have 1 or 2 cards you only play when you're in a matchup that you need to go tall in. Best of all if it helps interfere with your opponent's plan, or is resilient to things that disrupt your main idea. That's what Professor X/Destroyer are for. Often they're dead cards and sometimes they interfere with your ability to put down bodies. But they give you a win condition in some games when you wouldn't really have one if all you had were 2 and 3 drop bodies + cerebro + mystique.

I mostly played Iron Man as an alternative win condition. I think he's the best option without buying series 4 cards, but Destroyer C3 is a unique and surprising deck that I remember fondly.

It was also made for an earlier meta; Sera Surfer could beat C3 in 3 lanes, but with X, Cosmo, and Destroyer you could pin them down and stand a chance. Also, turn 3 Wave into Leech/Leader/Death was a nasty mixup and Destroyer left you in a decent or even hilarious position afterwards. Now it's much less common and almost entirely lacks the comedic potential. So it is probably even worse than I remember.

Bluntly, this is way out of touch with what C3 looks like now with Bast and Valkyrie. Example list:



It has gamewinning strong control effects with Valkyrie and access to both Shang and Cosmo, the number of bodies is solid between the cheap fodder and Bast and Valkyrie making the Cerebro/Mystique pieces join in on their own buffs, and then Bast-ed Adam Warlock and potentially Magik allow for more consistency in hitting Cerebro.

I've decided to make peace with the emote system and give out a lot of fistbumps, especially when I am on the receiving end of an rear end beating.

I have noticed very little emote spam and a lot more people doing a fist-bump after a loss. On the rare occasion I get the dreaded Ms Marvel thumbs up, I just give it right back in a "Thumbs up to you, too, bro!" and move on to the next game.

Been playing Patriot tonight and have not seen a single Enchantress. I've been lining poo poo up in one lane saying, "Want to ruin my game? Lay that green lady right here!" and I just keep trucking along moonwalking my way to Patriot, Blue Marvel/Kazar, Onslaught/Ultron. I have Scarlet Witch in the deck because gently caress that Throne.

Pixels of Light.


So I had, previously, a greedy Wave/Jubilee deck vaguely similar to Sean's.

I decided to add Arnim Zola to it, and Shuri since I pulled her. It's great, though I ended up cutting Electro because I really really want to do the 4 (Shuri) - 5 (big drop) - 6 (bigger drop) curve, and then the ramp is wasted.

But things really took off once I put in Daredevil... and Doctor Octopus.

I don't know how that card suddenly got good, but it looks like everybody is playing combo decks these days.

If you want some fun, try it out. 20 power Doc Ock is pretty good. :haw:

Enter your name pilot!

There is something going on behind the scenes. I switched from my discard deck to my patriot deck, and after playing a bunch this afternoon I saw maybe 2 or 3 patriot players. But once I started playing the patriot deck I ran into about 4 other patriot players in about 9 games. So I end up going back to discard and the majority of the people I play are some sort of discard.

Also the game didnt think I had suffered enough after knocking me from 62 down to 56 so it gave me Viper and a title from reserves.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Here is a turn of events that I didn't expect, even tho it is another case of cards go before location. I play Lockjaw on the location that turns into a copy of another on board at the end of turn 4. It became Vormir (destroy the first card played there). I play Jubilee on the final turn. She summons a card from my deck and then in some order she got both destroyed AND replaced.

That won me the game and gave me one heck of a smile on my face.

I'm gonna assume the image was datamined a while ago but the text was recently reworked. I'd like to think Second Dinner is smart enough to realize that if they have Krakoa doing turn 6 it's gonna make people very mad since that's the last turn of the game. At least with turn 5, you have another turn to recover.

Now that they added the "Game Modes" feature that currently only refers to Friendly Battles I wish that's where featured/hot location mode was so that the rest of us could play the normal game. Win-win as people who like the gimmick can find eachother and its double consent.
