HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
I want to deckbuild with rock. But it also seems unwise to put a (terrible) unique playable card in a 1-day bundle. So idk. Definitely not buying it if theres no rock card though.

I'm like 99% sure they came out a couple weeks ago saying it wasn't a Rock Card but rather a silly rock pfp.

I swear I saw a pixel rock variant somewhere but that might have been a fan mockup. Give us token variants already! Make Squirrel Girl playable!

I've just got Shuri with my tokens, but am only 775, so lack Taskmaster/Red Skull to get the true BS up and running.

I've built a deck to try and see what its like without them, using Spiderwoman/Abomination/She-Hulk/Arnim Zola.

I'm not sure whether to go for her without the supporting cards, or whether to keep using my Warpath/Ongoing deck that I stole of the net, which I'm having success with atm anyway. (I'm ~rank 55 for reference)

Vision is a great target for her. Then a Hulk or other big body on 6.

500 credits cost about $6.00, so it really depends on how much you value credits right now.

They said it's specifically 1/20th of the Pro bundle for people who felt bad about not being able to get the same value for credits as that bundle offered.

Obviously we cant see their data from today, but I'd be curious how many small spenders splurge on bundles prices like this.

I have to imagine these bundles are explicitly for whales or dumbass dolphins. I can’t imagine someone who’s afraid to spend $100 on the Pro Bundle sees this bundle with 95% of its poo poo taken out for $5 and goes “What a deal!!”

Garbage iap bundles are there to make you think the other ones are a good deal. The fact that the Jubilee one was seen as a great deal shows it works. This game gives extremely little per dollar spent by any metric when compared to other games.

I'm a small spender. I happily spent money on the new player bundle, the Jubilee bundle and the Mystique bundle because I liked the cosmetics. Like I said earlier, there were other bundles I would have happily bought if I could have afforded them at the time.

Credits are poo poo. I would rather use my 1,100 free gold to buy credits than to pay for them outright. But maybe this bundle is selling like crazy. I hope not.

Hmm, now I'm wondering if I could play Galactus on the "wrong lane" T5 and then Zola him T6. I guess it'd wind up being a 50/50 shot but still

I'm playing the 3rd deck from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6a5c-AEz2Y&t=273s

and enjoying it very much. ideally you ignore 1 lane entirely and prof X another + armor/destroyer the third.

teasing the third lane with a lizard or something else till destroyer takes them out works real well.

Theoretically the goal is to win 2 lanes and any effort spent on a third lane is wasted anyway. He's fine but not super good since he is exactly strong enough to get owned by Shang-Chi, inflexible, and there's plenty of good cards or location rng that can just turn off his ability.

Does it feel like Galactus decks are everywhere all of a sudden? I feel like half the games I've played the last couple days have started with Wolverine going into Electro, and we all know what comes next!

I know people have complained about it in the past, but it really is an unfun card and it makes the game leading up to it feel pointless. It feels like it would make way more sense to have him nuke the location it's played on, rather than the other two.

It makes the game very boring. Its always going to be a few moves. Throw down spiderman on turn 5 if it was played turn 4, or throw down knull and death, or some high card while throwing out cosmo.

Galactus is so bad design wise. They really need to change the effect to be end of turn at least. For example I could guess my opponent is about to drop Galactus so I play Debrii, but I don't have priority so my card on the Galactus turn doesn't flip and I've effectively skipped an entire turn doing nothing.

So I finally got 6000 credits tokens. Have Kang already, so I have questions about Galactus or Thanos:
Thanos - How viable are his decks right now? Feel like he dropped off the face of the earth, meaning it really was probably Quinjet that enabled him. He seems kinda fun, if maybe a little weak.
Galactus - He seems quite strong in the current meta. I already have all the pieces for the standard Galactus deck including Knull, so I guess this is the one I'm leaning towards (even if the playstyle seems a bit rote/repetitive). But I want to know, how are the Nimrod variants? That looks fun to do and setup, but not sure how feasible it actually is. I don't have the Season Pass yet but I got a week to decide.

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

Stop retreating on Turn 5, dammit. I need 2 more 4 card lane wins. Also, gently caress Galactus, Darkhawk gets a reprieve because I Shang Chi'd his rear end.

This thread is beneath my talent, but I....shall elevate it.


I'm pretty sure this is the dirtiest playline I've ever been a part of.

T2, Jubilee from Bugle. Ok, not terrible, maybe play it on 4 I have some good hits.
T3, Coulson to raft. Gets Bones and Prof X.
T4 starts: Westview Transforms into Peak. Suddenly I have inverted X and Jubilee. I snap. I slam them both into raft to get the free 6 cost. Jubilee pulls dino, Prof stops them from rotating rock and jubilee and their jubilee activating. Free 6 cost is Destroyer(!!!!!)
T5: Mystique, Destroyer, Inverted Doom to seal mid. Cackle like the evil son of a bitch I am.
T6: Opponent ropes before retreating.

I want to play more tonight, but I know I can only ruin my mood after this game.

I dont care if the tuesday bundle isnt technically worth it. It helped me get Darkhawk and now I've been cruising. Unfortunately I am having surgery tomorrow and I dont know when I'll be able to play again. I dont have a phone thats good enough to run the game, and I am spending 2 nights in the hospital after and dont know when I'll be able to climb stairs again and my computer is up here. Hopefully I can play some by friday.
