Jumped back in after not playing since yesterday.. lost/retreated 8 in a row. God drat I suck rear end at this stupid game :sigh:

I get some of the most irritating assholes spamming emotes at me too. Thanks for spamming “I’m losing” and ms marvel at me after lucking out on a win due to your lockjaw magically producing a card to beat me on the last turn, my guy.

Well, I found my solution to gaining ranks again. More Power. I've gained 17 ranks since last night, might get another bump before the reset.

The emotes in this game are toxic as gently caress. I wish there was a global mute feature.

if you're not playing cards like the new one that can add chaff to the opponent's hand, just assume the opponent is going to win that lane and either abandon it entirely or use aero/magneto/etc to pull their other cards over to that lane

It sometimes feels like the entire game revolves around countering certain cards in the opponent's deck. What does your deck do if the opponent is running Dracula? Galactus? Thanos? Aero? Killmonger? Shang-Chi? Unless you're running a top tier deck yourself it feels like you can only securely win if your opponent is making a serious mistake.

Dracula isn’t a problem at loving all, imo. I’ll admit we all have that card that just pisses us off. Leader had me fuming back when it was a card until I finally pulled it and lost a shitload using him. That taught me the card’s flaws.

My biggest problem with Dracula is that MODOK makes him feel super oppressive, especially since MODOK is a paid card right now. Unless you're playing a hand interaction deck - and you're probably not, because that archetype is not good - they're going to get an almost guaranteed 16 power minimum that you can't respond to.

Jesus, hit 85.. never been this high before and 2 weeks to go.

You've only 2 humps to go. You are going to do it!

Dracula is kind of like Wong in that he's a massive telegraph but stopping him requires manipulating last turn priority with shang chi vs just playing one of many tech cards to rid yourself of wong. The fact that he's so telegraphed but largely untouchable other than by other meta combos and/or with tier 4 cards means that unless you can put out lane +16 he's basically something you have to play around vs something you can play against, unless you get lucky by having shang chi in your hand, losing t6 priority and not needing more than 2-3 energy to win another lane.

Shang won’t hit Drac if that’s what you’re implying. His ability happens at the end of the game. Priority doesn’t matter. Similar to invisible woman. That’s why some folks find him so tilting.

Huh, apparently I got out of pool 3 back on the 15th, with Magik as my last one.

I've been playing with the snap.pro overlay and it's really useful to be able to see exactly what decks are doing well for you, and what aren't.

I built a magneto/devil dinosaur one that has a 65% win rate in 43 games, seems pretty decent! +38 cubes, averaging 0.88cube/game right now. Climbing is slow but progress seems pretty steady.

I love getting Leech’ed because it’s a total mindfuck but you still usually have ways to squeeze out a win, you just have to let the shock go and come up with a completely new plan in 90 seconds. I think it’s a very well designed card. The only problems with it are it consistently getting ramped/casinoed out early by some top tier decks.

Gotta love it when people rope you on 6 and snap with the Thanos emoji. Especially when you snap back and win and they just leave. Not even a fist bump.

In other news, Surfer is fun to play again. It sometimes amazes me how cards that were toxic as gently caress a couple of months ago are now just good cards.

You're joking right? The Sunspot nerfs are Elektra, Killmonger and Shang Chi. He's the last card that's a problem.

It's been one of the most played cards ever since the game launched. I don't think having a "universal one drop" is a good thing for the game. I support the game having more strong, but restrictive, 1-cost cards like Human Torch and Zero instead.

I don't know what you'd do with Sunspot to make it less good. Make it a 2 drop? Or just make it so it only gains power if you don't play a card during the turn?

I agree it's too strong in general. Even if I try as hard as possible to make a deck that spends all of its energy every turn Sunspot is still a good card in it.

But it's waaaay too strong with She Hulk on top of all that.

Sunspot's fine. I think the highest power he can get to is 21, and that's if you play him T1 and then zero other cards for the rest of the game. There are several common ways for opponents to neutralize him.

He's pool 2 and I think it's good for new players to have early access to useful, versatile cards.
