The series drop just happened, so it's probably going to be near the end of next season before another drop. As No Wave said, if you don't claim him for free then you're just going to get him in the next Reserve that contains a card. If you're Series 3 complete, that reserve will instead contain tokens. You're spending tokens by not claiming him. The once per season is literally once per season. You won't be able to claim another Series 3 card until the start of next season, once more cards enter Pool 3.

Honestly I assumed I'd have pulled him already because I've been s3 complete forever -- Was he the only card that just got dropped down to 3? I have opened many reserves recently and didn't pull M'Baku yet. (I did just take him from the shop though)

He just dropped with the patch on Monday, along with Orka and Attuma.

I picked up Shuri from the token shop and slapped together a deck, but I don't like playing it. You either draw the cards you need in order (shuri -> skullboi -> taskmaster or shuri -> skip -> shulk + skull with maybe a zero in there if you feel like) or you don't, and the opponent either shang chis or they don't. There's none of the figuring needed with a move deck if you should go heimdall t6 or something else, and none of the delicate balancing act of a cerebro deck.

When it hits you definitely know you have a wincon though whereas with movement I find it hard to know when to decisively snap.

Cerebro 3 with Valkyrie has been my most played deck this season, and it's insanely satisfying to knock Red Skull down to 3 power before Taskmaster or Zola hits. It's probably one of the most fun cards in the game to play, particularly because it's not common enough for people to expect it yet. I very rarely go for 8 cubes, but there's been a few times that she's won them for me.

What's your list? I just drew Valkyrie but I'm not confident enough in any particular deck to experiment.

whatever power the card is at when it dies. so if you eg load up nidvaellir with things to feed to venom the +5s will all get added as well as their base power as well. also if you can zola knull you functionally double the power of the copies because the base one's power is added

I've been tinkering with it a lot this season and I've been having some pretty good success with it. Currently it feels pretty good, but I'm thinking of replacing Spider-Man, as he hasn't been adding as much to the deck as I thought he would. I was using Storm for awhile too, and replaced her with Scarlet Witch, but I think I might go back to Storm even though she's not 3 power. This deck is obviously very location dependent and I've lost more than one game due to Scarlet Witch switching a bad location to another bad location.

I can't say that it's been shooting me to Infinite, because I've been spending most of this season just playing around with new decks and having fun instead of trying to climb, but it does feel like this is one of the more solid decks that I'm playing right now, even if it can feel a little fragile.

Why not just Rhino? Costs the same as Storm and is 3 power. It doesn't let you lock off a lane but you can't Brood or Sinister so you're not filling a Storm lane anyway.

That's... an excellent question, and you're probably right!

I think I used Scarlet instead of Rhino due to the cost, I had multiple games in a row where I didn't have any plays until 3 which led me to look for a two-drop, but I don't think it was the right call.

Surfer seems playable, I keep running into sera surfer decks that do 20-30 point endgame swings. They're just competing with shuri decks, who do that swing consistently with no planning or effort.

I have both in my deck, as well as more 2 drops. I don't have Bast or Valkyrie so no Wasp for me. Shadow King makes a passable substitute since he can fix being hit by Scorpion. I like having both because I can use 1 to turn off a problem location and then another to turn off Limbo if I think it wins me the game. Multiple Man is just in there as a joke. Also he's good if Bifrost shows up.

My Surfer deck absolutely stomps on Shuri. I have Daredevil and Prof X in there as well as Storm. If you can shut down 2 lanes by turn 5 then Shuri can't do poo poo. It's not the sheer powerhouse as it was pre nerf, but part of that is the insane power creep of Shuri. Still puts out solid numbers. I just won 8 cubes against a Shuri Destroyer list. Satisfying!

How in the world do you pilot a Mr. Negative deck? I try to wrap my head around it but I can't seem to make it work out. Mr. Negative takes so long to come out by the time he can affect your deck your hand is mostly full. I'm mostly playing this because I unlocked Crystal and she's been working pretty well to net me wins when I get the turn 4 Negative -> turn 5 Crystal but otherwise it's a mostly difficult job. Only times I get secure wins is if I can cheat the Negative out early with poo poo like Project Pheonix or Sakaar.

Negative is my favorite deck and most played by a lot.

Crystal is a dead card now. She was playable with Zabu on 3 into Neg + Crystal on 4, but not anymore. You want to ramp into Neg on 3 with Zabu or Psylocke on 2. Ironman + Mystique are your big combo, but Ironheart and Zola are huge plays as well, especially with a Wong down for the Ironheart first. You can fire off +40 power or more if things line up. Jane is a filler slot and mostly Win More card because she's going to be in your hand more often than not, so feel free to swap her with another (Bast is ideal, don't have her yet myself). You can hard drop Negative on 4 and still win thanks to White Tiger/Black Panther -> Zola combo, so don't be afraid to play nothing on the first 3 turns. It's a wildly explosive deck that catches a lot of people off guard. Jubilee is the backup plan if you don't draw Negative. Get something out on 4 with her, then hope for Wong/Tiger or Panther, etc.

Here's what I run currently:



# (2) Psylocke
# (2) Zabu
# (3) Ironheart
# (3) Mystique
# (4) Mister Negative
# (4) Jubilee
# (4) Wong

I'm a little bummed I got into Snap just after the BP season, he would be a pretty decent card.

I haven't bothered paying for the Nimrod season though, just not that great of a card overall imo. I don't think you'll ever see him pop up on interesting netdecks to use like BP does so often.

LGD
Sep 25, 2004

yeah, the reason to get this season pass is the value of the gold/credits you earn (+ variants if you like any)

he's a frustrating card, because he's not actually too far off from viable/good/outright busted if you consider what he'd look like with a power increase or cost reduction, but his need for a significant pre-split buff or multiple splits to even get near to parity with other things you could be doing (i.e. Doom + any halfway decent 5 drop) means it's hard to see him as a player going forward

outside chance he gets buffed down the line ofc, but I'm not sure how likely that is because his scaling really magnifies any changes

I misread the whole after draw thing too, was one of the first cards i got with tokens and yeah. I've seen Destruction decks do lane pump into free t6 zola and or free t6 knull but that still requires hood and deadpool to get enough numbers on the board.

iirc you only get a several hundred more credits over the free version, but something like 900 gold (which is something like $13 if you were buying it directly) and in total works out to like $15 in gold/credit value even if you entirely discount the cosmetics/boosters + card for any given month

my understanding is that if you're at all inclined to spend money on the game (for, say, Token Tuesday purposes) and play it enough to hit level 50 it'll basically always be a reasonable buy
