Isn't it just a visual change? Your Knull and Morbius are going to have the same power they had before once on the board, the difference is only visual, before they're played, if I understand this right.

There is a functional difference: If you Mister Negatived with Knull in your deck before this change, your Knull would get a cost set to the current ongoing value, so if you destroyed 10 power worth of cards and Mister Negatived, your Knull would be 10 cost. With this change, the ongoing effect doesn't start until it hits the table, so Knull will become 0 cost with Mister Negative, no matter how much you've already destroyed.

So it's purely a buff, outside of maybe weird decks built around Mister Negative and Lady Sif or Colleen Wing, but no one runs a deck like that.

Speaking of, I am trying out a really nice balanced deck from the recent Cosy video and I like it, but I was debating putting enchantress in instead of cosmo

Scorpion

So how does the new free S3 card work? By when do I need to claim my free card? By the end of the current season? So in about 2 weeks? And as soon as the new season starts I can pick another S3 card?

That's a buff - it has no impact on the card when played, but makes The Peak / Mr Negative much stronger with the card.

Also yes it's true people will just run She-Hulk / Taskmaster with shuri now instead of Red Skull, however that is 18+18 power instead of 22-30 + 30 power which is a big difference and does hurt winrate, plus it means you can't play Task + a 1-drop like Titania on turn 6. These nerfs are good nerfs because they don't destroy the deck but do hurt its winrate.

As for the Aero nerf i'm not sure if its good or bad for Shuri decks but it is SO loving GOOD for the game because the most frustrating thing with Aero was knowing she is coming but not being able to do jack poo poo about it. Now I can counterplay it with a well-placed 1-cost or whatever, which is much more fun.

If your opponent plays 3, but their last card happens to be on the same lane as Aero, she doesn't move anything.

This is not a nerf, it's a death sentence. She's garbage now.

Marvel Snap Zone says that each one has a different, specific ability:

Evolved Wasp [0/1]: On Reveal: Afflict # random enemy cards here with -# Power.

Evolved Misty Knight [1/2]: When you end a turn with unspent Energy, give another friendly card +# Power.

Evolved Shocker [2/3]: On Reveal: Give the leftmost card in your hand -# Cost.

Evolved Cyclops [3/4]: When you end a turn with unspent Energy, afflict # random enemies here with -# Power.

Evolved The Thing [4/6]: On Reveal: Afflict a random enemy card here with -# Power. Repeat this twice more.

Evolved Abomination [5/9]: Costs # less for each enemy card in play that’s afflicted with negative Power.

Evolved Hulk [6/12]: Ongoing: +# Power for each turn you ended with unspent Energy.

I mean yeah that's what I mean. HE is start of game too so there wouldnt be any reason to run them together.

HE just straight up being a 4/7 is kind of zany too. There arent any other straight up 4/7s!

That looks really neat (and a good excuse to print multiple "no ability" cards).

I'm not usually one to complain about balance changes, but changing Red Skull with the specific reasoning that it had to be done to nerf Shuri just seems way off target. Like, I don't really even mind the change, in a vacuum, but if one card is a problem you can't just go and change every other existing card and have to always think about Shuri when printing new cards. There are other decks out there for Red Skull besides Shuri decks. Just nerf Shuri :cmon:

Question about Jessica Jones. Since her VFX moves with her now, does that mean you can play a card where she was and she will get the boost as long as you don't play a card where she now is? Or did they just make that even less intuitive?

I think with these changes I'll give my Deathwave deck another go, or my Moongirl/Magik/Shehulk, since I don't have to worry about Aero pooling my T6/T7 drops in a single lane.

Besides all that, I observed a funny interaction faced by an unfortunate Thanos player. T3 they drop Lockjaw and 3 stones. Reality Stone changes the location to miniaturized lab. Lockjaw proceeds to suck away each stone and replace them with nothing.

HE is legit just a weird design. His statline is so solid that there's very little cost of running him. I dont really get it, only one or two of the cards he buffs have to be really good then he's super strong if none of them are good what's the point.

Love that the whole archetype is intended to be run with sunspot and she hulk too, those niche cards needed the help.

Eh I mean the Red Skull change isn't even really a nerf. Not for Shuri and not for most other purposes. 15/+2 between and 13/+1, the second's kind of better: in a full opposing lane, it's a 5/9 vs earlier being a 5/7. Even with Shuri it's 30/+2 vs 26/+1, or an effective 22 power vs an effective... 22 power.

Wait high evolutionary is broken. You can just run evolved misty + sunspot to double sunspot. Imagine if they actually balanced the cards that needed to be balanced.

You can't really judge the balance of a card not actually announced and just found through data mining. High Evolutionary isn't out yet, and other cards, like Howard the Duck and Nebula have changed a few times in data mined data.

Yes, I'm judging the datamined version. The entire archetype seems based around floating energy. If they rethink all of that because sunspot+she hulk must not substantively change sure I guess thats a possibility. They just released a terrible patch so yes I'm also salty.
