Triskelion poo-poo platter wins again. Left lane was originally the favored location, so I dropped the "gifted" Bast there. Turn 7 Shang Chi cleaned out the throne for me and I squeaked out the win.

I love the idea of goon battlemode events. I've tried a few theme decks with some success in the thread: All Infinity every card must be at "Infinity" level. Same Cost every card in the deck must have the same energy cost Agatha must include Agatha, cannot include any cards that Discard. Going to see what I can make for an All Pixel deck so that we can all find a way to enjoy our terrible cache rewards. Someone posted an inspirational one yesterday, I think. The dream is Draft League (didn't generate enough interest, and honestly would be tough to pull off without some tinkering) and/or Ban Mode where somehow the thread maintains a list of banned cards (weekly poll?). Scrap Dragon posted:This sounds like an excellent idea for a Goon tourney. Agatha only, no discard, no ramp, final destination. It crossed my mind. I'm up to play a few more here before giving a Snap event another go. I've done one Agatha Duel so far and I feel like it's probably just over the line between "zany in a fun way" and "unfun dogshit in a sometimes zany way". Walla posted:I'd be down for a tournament, but I think we'd have to bracket it by cl to be fair. Or Pool 2 and below only. Tourneys imply scheduling, which is an impossibly tall order. .. but also battle mode codes expire in like ~15 minutes so a sort of loosey goosey open format arranged entirely on the fly, on the forums alone, would be pretty challenging, too. .. and just lol at restricting deck construction for an Agatha Deck out of "fairness" (beyond cards that outright invalidate her). Agatha is whale-proof.

Back in the day I did a hearthstone thing that was basically just people agreeing to play games in a kind of round robin format, and working out the scheduling themselves and reporting the results back in the thread as the games got played. The top 4 went into a playoff. I’d be down to do something like that again, either with draft or some kind of restrictions on the decks. Or no restrictions, whatever.

So apparently the new location will set Thanos to 2 even if you have 2 power stones out and all other stones played. No like, 2 plus the 10s, just 2. That was a hard lesson

Alright so throwing out ShuriKangs like a ninja is paying off (No, I don't know why they stayed on. Probably because they snapped first and thought there's no way but uh. It's okay to retreat after you snap, even if it's 4 cubes at that point)

That was a hard lesson Huh I guess the "wherever he is" modifies his base power and doesn't just add 10 to his base power. I assume if you played Thanos there first somehow and then triggered the Power Stone you'd get the boost. If Thanos is destroyed and someone has a Knull out and you play all the stones, does Knull get 10 power btw?

That's what I'm assuming happened, though Power Stone is an ongoing so it shouldn't work like that. And yeah Knull will get whatever the current power is, for stuff like Thanos or Xandar

Modifies the base power.

Thanos when all the stones have been played is really weird because if you have the power stone out, you can see the new power level in your hand before you even play him so it's like it sets his base power to whatever +10. Because of this I can see quantum realm dropping him back to 2. I've been seeing a lot of Bro 2 decks today (makes sense) and the soul stone has been doing some great work against it. Just absolutely nothing in the decks to make that not a problem. Had cloning vats earlier to make it even more annoying for them by dropping 2 in one lane and 1 in another to make all three lanes unable to be fully activated.

So I think Thanos Zoo is actually number one, and I think the biggest problem is that Quinjet is a 1 mana "all your infinity stones, which are hugely useful, are now free." My fix would be to make it so that the stones start in your deck, and don't have that bonkers efficiency. For Shuri, I think there's some changes there that could be interesting? "The next card you play has their power increased by their energy cost". Some neat combos available there ala forge that aren't just "play a big guy"

I think it's a confusing because you get used to On Reveals taking precedence over location effects (e.g. playing Storm into Death's Domain) but the doubling itself works differently. If Shuri said "Give the next card you play: on reveal: double this card's power" then Green Goblin would double to -6, then change to +2.

It came in as a -2X. That's the only reason why I think there's a problem. Either it enters as a -3 and finishes as a 4, or it enters as a -6 and finishes as a 2. It cannot enter as -6 and finish as a 4 without working differently to Valkyrie.

If you want to climb the ranks 2 cubes at a time, Galactus/Knull is a pro choice.

Quantom Realm specifically changes the base power of a card, so any effects that modify power still work "normally". If you play a card that's been Scorpion'd, it'd be at 1 power after the effects of the location triggers. So in the goblin example, the base power becomes two after it flies over, but it still has the Shuri effect applied, making it four power.

Make Leech a 3/3 and have him just remove the ability from the next card played like a reverse zero and it basically fixes the Thanos meta by allowing counter decks like Hazmat to play against it. Thanos becoming a 6/11 had no effect on the actual power level of the deck, it's always been Leech completely borking turn 6 counterplay, which was also a big issue during the Leader meta.

I don't think turn 5 3 power leech is a problem. It's ramped out turn 4 leech and lockjaw leech that's a problem (and the problem with thanos in general is his interaction with lockjaw). If leech only went off on turn 5 like daredevil it would fix a lot of the problems I see with him, but ofc then you couldn't cosmo him.
