I managed to climb to 70 this morning, which equals last season for me. Last time it was Surfer and Zabu and this time it was move decks, C2 and Daredevil Control. The strongest card in any of my decks is Aero and Magneto. Shuri, Red Skull, Thanos and Galactus don't exist for me so I'm pretty happy with where I landed. Let's go!

I don't pay against Galactus very often but it's fun when this happens This was a fun one as well. He was really trying to work out how to play it with a late Killmonger but alas

Snazzy Frocks posted:In fact I just really hate cards that have no counter play like Dracula and lockjaw with just text that does stuff regardless Dracula is countered plenty. All you have to do is gently caress with the opponent's hand. Moon Knight and Dr. Octopus are the first two examples that come to mind. Or flood their deck/board with poo poo so that they're drawing Rocks instead of Infinauts and can't offload their small cards. DrOgreface posted:People used to play T6 Maximus as a Drac counter too. poo poo, yeah, forgot about that one. And I know Iceman can legit wreck my Infinaut deck sometimes, throws off the whole tempo if he blasts the right card. the_steve fucked around with this message at 16:32 on Mar 5, 2023 |

The only real issue with countering Dracula is how many of the counters are exclusive to Pool 3. Korg and Iceman are the only ones you'll have when you first enter Pool 3, and I'm still missing Rockslide, Doc Ock and Debrii.

We need a card that 'steals' the buffs from a lane or a card. It could possibly kill Devil Dino, but Enchantress existing doesn't kill patriot. Also have Taskmaster take the value of the last card in its state at the time of placing Taskmaster. Right now Shuri->Skull->Taskmaster is 60 points on the board, no questions. I know you can Aero->Shang Chi, but I'm not sure that building a deck to specifically counter a certain deck (or just build that loving deck yourself) in order not to get curb stomped for a day once you get your MMR up a little is the mark of a good card game. I normally don't play collectable style card games, so this may be just how things are and just need to get used to it or move on. Seeing the same handful of cards game after game in a game that has hundreds of cards is wearing on me. Again, this could just be 'how things are' in the world of CCGs.

Granted, Rogue is random, so if you have two Ongoings in the same lane, she may grab the wrong one. And Skrull is what? Pool 4 now? So not everyone is gonna have him, and he doesn't steal effects, he just copies them all good or bad.

the_steve posted:Rogue and Super Skrull? I'm thinking more "Take the bonus power from one card and give to another". More of a way to gently caress with "On Reveal" bonuses after they have happened. Considering how much this game loves to have players' mess with each other's cards I imagine we'll see a card like that in the future.

Daredevil is probably the easiest to use because it gives you a big advantage on turn 5. Control decks are my favorite too.

It's why I'm saving up for Kang. I had a great control deck going with Daredevil where the idea was to win a lane and be tied or ahead on another, then drop Leader. Then they nerfed Leader.

Daredevil is probably the easiest to use because it gives you a big advantage on turn 5. Current tech cards I'm running are scarlet witch, armor, shang chi, and enchantress. Tossing in Killmonger + nova as another tech + some points. Sentinels + Bishop + Mysterio for more points. Add to that Angela, Sera, Lizard for points and utility. Maybe I'll swap out Angela and Lizard for Aero and Shuri? Or drop the Sentinals/Bishop/Mysterio for something else. Like the idea of Gambit but seems too random. Cosmo might work. Or some of the Goblins to eat up opponent slots. And if I can work Daredevil in, that'd be great. So potentially: Nova, Daredevil, Armor, Scarlet Witch, Green Goblin, Cosmo, Killmonger, Shuri, Shang Chi, Enchantress, Sera, Aero I'm uncertain about Cosmo because I'd have difficulties targeting him other than on Wong/Lockjaw and I need slots for On Reveals myself. Maybe toss in a She-Hulk instead? Any suggestions are welcome. I have all of S3 except for Maria Hill and Mojo. S4s are Attuma, BP, M'Baku, Shuri, and Surfer. S5 is Zabu.

Sandwolf posted:If you play a Goblin on bar sinister I hope you get hit by a loving bus. It’s not even the troll, it’s just such a cool location that allows for cool interactions and wow ahaha you did it! You did some really loving lame bullshit that makes the game just miserable. Future Galactus players. For like a week or 2 I was playing decks with viper in it, mainly because of all the green goblins I was encountering. So I liked to throw her into bar sinister when it shows up. Leaves you with 3 open spots, and the opponent only 1. I was sick for most of the last week so I couldnt play much. But last night I hit my biggest accomplishment of the season by hitting rank 68. It only took me 90% of the season but I finally got past that stupid hurdle. I was far more happy and excited for that than I was a hour and a half later when I hit 70. Was hoping to maybe try and squeeze out a climb to 80 before the new season, but after a couple of big losses I decided I'd rather just park at 70.4 and not risk dropping back to the 60s. My token shop has given me all the biggies in the last couple of days, Thanos, Kang, Galactus. I've not bothered to lock any of them in. By the time I have enough tokens to get any of them, they will be out of the meta most likely.

Sentinels + Bishop + Mysterio for more points. Add to that Angela, Sera, Lizard for points and utility. So the list you posted is basically a Sera Miracle deck, but there's some weird stuff in there. Aero is kind of expensive for what that deck wants to do, and Shuri doesn't have any good targets. They could work I guess, but I struggle to see it. Also Daredevil is kind of useless with Sera since you almost always want to play her on 5 so it usually doesn't matter what your opponent is doing. Cards like Mysterio and Bishop are staples of that deck type because that's how you get your value on the board. Right now your best turn 6 is Aero, Scarlet Witch and Armor and that's just not a lot of points. If you want to do a Sera deck, you want a lot of 2 cost cards with Angela and Bishop to anchor 2 lanes and maybe 1 of Killmonger/Cosmo/Maximus. The more 3 and 4 costs the weaker your turn 6, and it's hard to sub out Enchantress and Shang Chi. A Daredevil list wants to control turn 5 to give you a strong turn 6. Things like Hobgoblin, Professor X and Gamora work well. Even Spiderman is good here. A Sera deck wants to be able to react to and counter the opponent's turn 6, while a Daredevil deck wants to lock your opponent out of options going into turn 6. If that makes sense.

I tried out this deck and I gained 10 ranks, from 40 to 50, since you reposted it yesterday. Most people concede on Leech turn 4. I've been getting a better handle when to Sandman, he draws a lot of concessions against decks if you get him out turn 4. Doom and Zola make a turn 5 or 6 Aero not really matter. I was worried about running Electro, but there are a lot of locations that get rid of him. It feels real good to drop him on Oscorp Tower turn 3.

I was having trouble this season until I put this together so thought I’d share. I would say really don’t worry about even getting rid of Electro. Donating him via Oscorp is great because his ongoing can mess with the opponent’s plan, but otherwise he isn’t a hinderance under most circumstances because you’re relying on your big cards and by t4 should have little to no spare energy to play your two 1 cost cards anyway (Excepting Project Pegasus or anything that gives you a lot of energy to maybe play two big cards on one turn). You’re relying on using him or Wave to be able to ideally play a 5-6-6 (Electro) or 6-5-6 (Wave) spread of cards on turns 4-6. If you manage to disable his ongoing then you can slot in Iceman or Sunspot on t6 too, but if you have to destroy destroy him to play Iceman then that is exactly the same power spread as if you just keep Electro on the board in the first place and if you play Sunspot it’s actually worse for you. If you’re in a situation where you have lots of spare energy for one drops on turns 4-6 that’s a sign that you’ve been unlucky with your pulls because you haven’t got any of the big cards you need and should probably retreat.
