Snap is a thinking idiot's game, which is why I've liked it more than other digital card games.

Just pulled Thanos, but oddly enough I've probably only faced Thanos once. Is Death & Thanos still a viable deck?

Hi.
I finally got Thanos. Woohoo! I made an ongoing deck and played a couple games. I'm not sure I know how to pilot it well.

I know I've seen a deck posted here a couple times. Is there a beginners writeup for it?

Sandman Leader Trip Report:
It's good versus the following decks
Falcon Hit Monkey
Sandman Leader

It's bad versus the following decks:
The Others.

I've mostly seen people playing it in a ramp capacity though, and the little guy decks tend to be too explosive early on. Old Leech Leader might make more sense, but copying a single card has been "~~~ehhhh~~~ okay"

I've been having a pretty good time with Sandman Leader, but mine plays Kang, and I win a good portion of matches by snapping on Turn 6 and playing Kang.

Fun fact: Shuri now follows Jessica Jones and Spider-man rules, in that her ability affects the location itself and not where her card is.

Making Quake the most hilarious anti-Shuri tech available.

Too many Bast and Valk targets. I'd drop Sinister and Brood and add in Sentinel and Wasp if you have her. I'd probably drop Spiderman and Prof X too. Maybe Mysterio for the chance to Bast him. Scarlet Witch or Rhino is decent too. Shadow King is actually decent for C3, especially now that he's 3 cost.

Part of the reason C3 is less consistent is because it's harder to flood the board compared to C2. Sentinel and Wasp help with that, and a couple of 1 cost cards couldn't hurt. Hawkeye is good on curve, Blade or Zero are decent with Zero being better than Blade.

I love C3 but it's mostly a just for fun deck. Cheap cards are the easiest way to make it work.

Mysterio is a decent Bast target since every clone becomes 3 power. You can always Valkyrie the real one too, though it does leave you with 2 dead cards on the board.

Yeah. I think they're affected by scorpion too but that also feels kinda dumb, it doesnt make much sense to me that buffs on the main body carry over to clones (and vice-versa).

So really instead of a card that generates two clones it's just three cards mashed into one where you play two for free

That's why it's so essential for Sera control to crank up Bishop and give you extra Nova targets. Think of it as three 0 power cards where you choose one to get +4 at the end of the game

Yeah the big Mysterio aha-moment is when you realize it ’plays’ its clones, unlike Squirrel Girl and Doom which ’add’ its clones. This means it triggers Angela, Bishop, is 6 power for Hit Monkey, etc. It also means it cant add copies to Sanctum Sanctorum, Vault on T6 etc.

I dont think anyone is confused by that part... clones keeping buffs is confusing cause it's such a flavor fail for a card they put so much mechanical work into.

I got that part quickly enough, it's just unintuitive to me to say that instead of Mysterio being a 2/4 that plays a 2/0 on the other zones, he's actually a 2/4 and two 2/0s crammed into one card in your hand and is affected by poo poo like bast and scorpion

The actual point of Mysterio is that you can't tell which one is the clone, so the only thing that makes sense is if you have all three cards affected by in-hand buffs and debuffs. Unless we're suggesting that Mysterio gains and loses all of his in-hand power at the end of the game.

This is done to make the clones indistinguishable from the real one via in game inspection.

The intuitive thing is to have all clones zero when they're played and the real mysterio keeps his hand buffs but hidden the same way he keeps his base power but hidden. The real mysterio is the card in your hand and only one of the clones is the real mysterio.

Does Bast work on Brood or Sinister? I don't have her but I've seen a number of streamers playing with her for a while. She's probably the most broken card no one talks about. She fits into a ton of different lists, and on a high roll she can play for 20 or more total power.

She does. It's why I'm loathe to take them out of my C3 deck
