Is this on iOS or Android? Because on Google's Play Store, the update button appearing can lag hours behind the update being released. I've noticed that you can speed this up by writing "Marvel Snap" in the Play Store search and choosing the app from the search results.

It's not matching you up with people playing 5/5 Sandman, is it? I assume it just matches you with other people who haven't updated until it eventually forces you to update in a day or two, to give a grace period in case one of the various app stores is slow with the patch

Bought the Deadpool bundle, the tokens from it put me over the line to buy the Thanos I've had pinned for a few weeks, then with the credits I opened Quinjet (and Taskmaster). Feels good.

I was going to buy the Deadpool bundle until I saw the leaks for the small gold:token bundles that are practically 1:1. I don't need credits, I don't need variants, I do need tokens.

I'm now playing Lockjaw/Thanos casino and I don't give a poo poo about win rate, its silly as hell. They said they were working on a "cooler" animation for thanos/stones so the new stones intro anim is probably a placeholder, personally, they should have just all 5 cards fly in at once and make it super short. Do some crazy infinity gauntlet animation if all the stones are played out.

It’s Sauron soooo. What can I do with this guy.

I’m thinking it’s basically just a Zero / Typhoid / Red Skull deck with a better kicker, right?

Sauron goes in exactly one deck, Shuri Zero. Luckily, it's one of the best decks in the game right now. Even with Shang Chi being the most popular tech card in this meta, it still stomps. Sauron is a cornerstone of the deck because he opens up wining lines that don't include Shuri.

Used like 75% of my saved up gold to buy that Deadpool bundle. I STILL didn't unlock him through regular progression, so it's nice to slot him into my destroy deck and maybe lok for other opportunities to use him.

It also helped me get to like 2/3 of the way to buying Black Panther from the token shop.

Knowing my luck, using the credits to rank up in CL will get me Deadpool, like, right away, yeah?

That said my Deadpool bundle went well! Got me two cards in that rush, which were Polaris and Juggernaut so Control decks are back* on the menu baybeeeee

3 - Patriot

Maybe aero should be changed to only move the first card played so there's an opportunity for counterplay if you suspect it's coming?

It could have been their first time seeing Patriot Ultron. The only S3 card they have on the board is Mordo, so it's possible.

I match against this deck so often that Enchantress or Killmonger is in literally every deck I play.

Aero should definitely move cards in the order they were played, which would allow for counterplay, instead of randomly choosing which moves first

The rarity of getting that perfect Ultron hand matches with them not just dropping Enchantress or getting a location that screws you is top notch.

Meanwhile I still have no counter for Galactus other than retreating when he's dropped. I can't tell when the opponent is going to play him so I just give him my 1 cube and off I go!

I guess the deck is fun, but it doesn’t work for me. After 8 losses in 10 games I just give up for now. I did not get Psylocke once in my first 2 turns in the first 6 matches game.
And when you finally get a good hand, the opponents plays the nuts lol.

OTOH I went 12-2 with my zoo deck yesterday, so it’s just stupid RNG both ways.

I will try your deck again tomorrow and maybe tech in a Leech.

It really annoys me that they only show 5 stones and not 6. The animation is frustrating and wrong!

My favorite Galactus player was the person who snapped on turn 5 when I had Daredevil in play. He got a cube.

Aero and the Goblins are effective counters. So is Debrii and Viper. Anything that clogs their lanes so Galactus doesn't have an empty one.

Here's a slightly different list. I never toss out Psylocke unless I have Jubilee in hand or it's turn 3 and I don't have Wave or Sif. I should probably drop Hulk/Death for Aero, and Sunspot is kind of a waste here. You could also do the Zola thing, but you'd have to drop the Sif+Ghost Rider combo.

# (3) Wave
# (3) Lady Sif

Had a real galaxy brain moment earlier that I forgot to screenshot.

Opponent played Wave on 4, with two empty lanes. One lane I had Sunspot and Electro, the other spot empty, which I put Devil Dinosaur. Lo and behold, the opponent played Galactus on the Sunspot/Electro lane.

I decided to skip turn 5 mostly because I was afraid they were gonna Hobgoblin and I could only play one card max. Sure enough, they play Hobgoblin. And then I spent a long time calculating about whether my Odin in hand was enough to beat them if they had a Knull. They didn't have Knull (Spider-Woman actually) but I don't think they would've gotten it even if they did because the only units that died were my Devil Dinosaur and Wave.

Good luck!

Not sure if a write up is necessary, but here's some quick notes:

Only Wave on 3 if you haven't drawn Jubilee or Sif by then. Similarly, only Jubilee if you have Psylocke, Wave and Ghost Rider in hand. If you have Electro he would probably be better than either Psylocke or Wave, but I don't have him.

Turn 2 Psylocke is only useful for turn 3 Jubilee. Keep the above rules in mind.

Odin is only really useful for Jubilee. Odin into Wave sounds fun but is usually bad.

Snap if you have Sif, Ghost Rider and a big body on 3. Especially if you have a 5 drop to follow it up with, or Jubilee and Psylocke as well. If you can't play a card before turn 4 you probably should just retreat.

I just started playing with this deck so the above are mostly just suggestions. I wouldn't say it's a particularly strong deck, but it's a lot of fun and the good combos pop off at least 50% of the time.

Debrii is the closest you can get to a hard counter for Galactus. She lands as early as T3, and can solo-lock two lanes. A good Galactus player is going to retreat a lot of the time before even showing their hand.

Yeah, sometimes the dice will absolutely not roll your way, and you'll face a conga line of zoo decks getting mojo world, and a dozen perfect cosmo's placed to ruin your day.

The only secret in regards to a ramp deck is that Psylocke is just poor man's Electro, and she's actually best played as a 3 drop, so you can hopefully do play curve of 5 drop-5 drop-6 drop. Before RNG factors, my approximations are that the average 5 drop is worth ~8 points on the board, and the average 4 drop is worth ~6 points, so you're trying to eke out more value where you can. 6-drops are wild, I think the floor for good value is ~15 points, so the difference between 5-5-6 and 5-6-6 is ~8 points. So hitting electro into the big curve is the nuts, Psylocke or jubilee into a cheated out curve is good, and hitting none of the three means throwing your cards in the air and hoping for the best. It's also why I consider psylocke a tech card, since she's a dead draw if you hit electro, and something like Scarlet Witch to kill a bad featured location can mean the outvalue gameplan is much more likely to work.

Take this rule of thumb, compare it to the points you think the other deck will put out, and you're guaranteed* big wins and big cubes.
*big wins and big cubes not guaranteed

A good Galactus player has a win con that's not Galactus, but I think there aren't a lot of those.
