Opened my first collectors reserve today and it was: a title :(. I'm guessing this is a fixed reward for the first cache but it's a real stinker.

It's not fixed, you just have a 1 in 4 chance to get a cosmetic from your first box. You get groups of Cosmetic, Credits/Gold, Tokens and Card, and once you've had one you won't get another until the next group. As you've just hit 1k CL you're actually in a very good position to track what you're due, especially the S4 cards that are guaranteed in one of ten Card boxes.

I bought Galactus first and don’t regret it, but Thanos is the better card for actually winning.

You need quite a few Pool 3/4 cards to play Galactus competently

Yeah Shadow King seems like a good card now after the buff. Before there was litte reason to not just run Shang instead, but now he costs 1 less and is useful also against some weaker cards.

Not from a numbers perspective. Thanos is the better card with more options for playing out of the box.
If you don't have knull already then it's 100% Thanos as well.

In fact I'd go so far as to say the smoothest progression for getting both is Thanos, knull then Galactus.

This gives you the best deck building proggression.

Yessssssss. Not with Kirby but I'll take it.

Now the trick is, do I continue to add borders or keep it white. I'm so torn on doing this with all of my inks.

Congrats! I think inks look better at infinite border than un-upgraded. I leave some at orange/red borders if the logo/flare works well with it but I always want the frame break, animation, and to a lesser extent, the shiny logo.

Not to jinx it but does anyone get ink/gold splits very consistently? Every card I've split five times (all five of them) has an ink or a gold and some have both, the rumored 10% rates for each after the 4th split don't seem accurate.

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

After Thanos and Darkhawk I recently got Galactus, but I pretty much have him collecting dust until I get Knull. I'm still having fun with the other two, so I don't feel the need to mess around without a card that's such a good fit for Galactus.

I have Knull pinned, but I'm going to wait for the new season announcement post to make sure I have 6k in time for High Evolutionary next month. I'm sure I'll earn enough tokens being pool 3 complete, but I'll save the math until then.

Well, since 10% each sums to 20%, it’s not too surprising if you get one of them in 5 splits. You have a 28% chance to have one of them after the 5th split.

By that math I have a .6% chance of hitting either on all four of the cards I split five times, so it's possible I'm just very lucky but I'm curious what others' experience here is. If people here have regularly gone 7 splits without either then I'll just accept it as a highroll.

Nimrod and Wolverine can make a good compliment to Galactus too for turn 6 plays. You can make a deck with the three of them and Destroyer for an alternate win.

It's a highroll for sure, but a really small sample size. When I first started my first 4 eligible splits all rolled as Inked, I just assumed they always did, then my luck evened out. I know its not the case but it does feel like more then 20 % to get a gold or Ink split in general.

I'm primarily asking because I don't know where the 10% number came from. It could have come from people counting their splits before they knew the 4+ rule, the number's been around for a long time. Or some other mechanic who knows. Your odds of hitting four inks in a row on the fourth split is .01% which is within the realm of possibility but it's pretty darn rare.

I was curious so I looked at the cards I've split 4+ times.
Ant-Man: 4 splits, no ink/gold
Apocalypse: 6 splits, 1 ink, 1 gold
Colleen Wing: 5 splits, 1 ink, 1 gold
Cosmo: 4 splits, 1 ink
Dracula: 8 splits, 2 ink and a rainbow krackle but it's on a foil :(
Iceman: 4 splits, 1 ink
Morbius: 6 splits, 1 ink
Storm: 5 splits, 1 ink

Yes, I've played some discard.

Awesome, thanks so much! This is an unbelievably unlikely outcome if 10% is correct, rolling inks on 40% of your eligible splits is so high by comparison. It seems likely that they changed the odds at some point post-release now that there's a larger card pool (and after noticing normal players just weren't getting inks ever).

I am now Pool 3 complete, as I understand it the game’s progression drags at this point. At least there’s a nice Pool 3 drop I can quickly get.

My love for the game has been rekindled with No Wave’s Thanos Ongoing deck. I love Devil Dino so much.

Quinjet is almost wasted there, because it discounts few cards. But one of those cards is HM and you can have ridiculously explosive final turns when it hits.

The deck folds to Sandman but does surprisingly well against Galactus. Goose can ruin their plans outright and planning ahead with Beast to bounce things means you can drop a lot of power on the last turn.

This deck has helped me get better at thinking multiple turns ahead.

Report them. Just using Red Skull isn't enough, obviously, but adding a title like that is offensive and they'll be made to change it.

I agree, though, that Red Skull avatar needs to be removed along with the loving chibi variant.

Got Thanos pinned to max things up a bit when I get the tokens

Here’s my stats for the 4th split of a character (if you view a character in your collection, it shows your splits in order). Out of 23 4th splits, I got ink 7 times and no ink 16 times. Binomial probability says I should have a less than 1% chance of hitting this if it’s only a 10% chance of an ink. So maybe something is going on.

Obviously nobody is going to be banned just for using a Red Skull avatar, but combined with a title or username that has some implications there'll be action taken. There was a shithead in the beta who called his account "ZelenskyMustBe" and used the Death avatar. It took a while, but SD did something about him. And you'll sometimes see someone in the Discord asking why their account has been suspended and being told they had an offensive username/avatar/title combo. So it happens.
