Knowing that I've got two more absolute dud cards in my pool when I'm still trying to get Polaris is pain.

Would making Dracula an ongoing effect be a good change to him? I don't really think Drac is OP or in serious need of a nerf like the Shuri-Thanos situation but he seems a bit strong right now. But I acknowledge I am bitter and praying I get a Drac every time I open a cache.

I think they need a new word for what mtg calls “triggered abilities” like lockjaw or drac or sunspot, and then a card that shuts those down somehow.

Barring that, please make Dracula’s ability ongoing

Edit: making dracula do his thing turn 6 and not after the game so he’s Shang-chi-able would also work

This might be veering a tad off topic, but has anybody gotten untapped.gg's app to work under Wine in Linux? The game itself runs great in Proton I just can't stand missing out on seeing discards any more

I'd prefer if she pulls the first card your opponent plays only. That way it doesn't completely screw you if your last turn is multiple cards.

So just shoot her in the head and remove her from the game, like Leader. Your solution makes Wasp the best Aero counter in the game.

The key to beating Dracula is easy, just Turn 5 Kingpin. Turn 6 Magneto. Bing bong so easy.

Also I have none of the pool 5 cards about to drop so yay! I get to finally open cards again in caches instead of just tokens!

I was just reading that Polygon article a few minutes ago. For context Kingpin married Typhoid Mary so he could get into the mutant paradise island the X-Men made or something. I'm not a deep Marvel fan so I was mostly "Hey, I know who Typhoid Mary is now!"

i'm not super into marvel but i had a pandemic-induced binge of all the MCU movies a while back & watched noted non-MCU tv shows agents of shield + legion

playing snap has been a journey of finding out who various characters in the movies and tv shows are actually established legacy characters

I also ended up watching all of the MCU due to the badgering of a (now former) friend but having non-MCU characters in Snap, or at least the characters looking the way they do in the comics, is very pleasant. And they have the X-Men here! I know them! Not having Wolverine in the MCU is like DC not putting Batman in any of their movies

The last time I read comics was during House of M and Civil War, and I only really followed the major storylines. I'm not sure who half of the characters are.

As a 90's kid, I am deeply upset at the lack of New Warriors characters. Where's Speedball and Night Thrasher?

My Typhoid Mary story is that before Snap the only place I had seen her was in a mixed group of villains in JLA/Avengers so I spent over a decade thinking she was a DC character

His idea was to beat the meta, but to him the meta was not Shuri or Thanos decks, it was the most played card in the format, Aero.

So he brought a deck that used Moongirl to double up one cost cards (and She-Hulk) to fill enough lanes that he could always beat Aero plays.

Makes sense. Aero, moreso than Galactus or Thanos or Knull or Shuri, feels like it's really hard to counter. Since she can be played on 5, and she's so disruptive, there's board states where no other card but her could give you the win, and they seem to be frequent. She's the card I'm waiting to pop up in the shop, because I feel like just slotting her into a variety of my decks would increase the winrate on them by a very substantial percentage. It really hurts not having that card.

That story ends with them losing because beating Aero still loses to Shuri and Thanos. Aero is not a win con without a top tier deck around her.

Aero is really really strong. But if you play zoo style decks then she's not that great, and no one was calling for her to be nerfed before Shuri entered Pool 4.

Marvel Unlimited is an excellent subscription service btw. I wish there was a playlist feature but they do a great job of curating events to be able to read a lot of them in order and they have a lot of complete runs of a lot of stuff in it and it's a great way to get back into the Marvel universe.

On top of that, it's the only place you can read about the adventures of the best loving character and probably the most OP upcoming card. JEFF!

Aero is a win con if your game plan is win two lanes going into turn 6 them aero your losing lane. That's more disruptable than people let on (by cosmo or lane fill). I do find that game plan a little stale at this point and it's going to get more stale so I support balance changes eventually. But we'll need more answers to wave -> she hulk+death+1 first. Or I just end up forced to run sandman in all my decks I guess.

Yes. It's an on reveal, so the first Aero moves all unflipped cards to her location, if there's room, and then the second Aero activates.

I came in at the tail end of the Surfer season so I never saw a lot of Leader. But when the current meta relies on dropping most of its power on turn 6, it's extremely easy to play Aero with priority. The easiest way to play around Aero is to play strong cards on every turn. If you're ahead on 2 or 3 lanes on turn 5, Aero is much less disruptive. But that fails against Shuri, and the easiest way to counter Shuri is to play Shuri. It's all a bit poo poo.
