If I hadn't been a coward I could even have claimed I got there off an Ego game, but I was 4 cubes out dangit can you blame me for my weakness in not snapping?

Congrats! What does a Tempo deck look like?

Mierenneuker: Apr 28, 2010; We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I don't play Snap on the toilet, but I did just put this together there as a sort of variant deck-building challenge (don't worry, I washed my hands!)

And I had it for a while, but I had no idea this Electro variant is a Chibi instead of a Baby: https://snap.fan/cards/Electro/Electro_05/

Davedave24: Mar 11, 2004; Lacking in love

I just got enough Dan Hipp variants to make a whole deck, and it is just the worst deck

Kazar with one 1-drop! Apocalypse with no discard! Onslaught can boost... Medusa, I guess? Goose is there purely to trip myself up.

Did they ever confirm if Token Tuesday's are going to be a forever recurring thing? And if yes, how does The Tokens bundle compare to it? Sitting on almost 6.5k tokens so I can grab bundle and hit 6k right now, but not sure if that's better value than just holding out for Token Tuesdays if it's ongoing

That art nice tho

We went over this a few pages back. The Tokens bundle is worse VFM than any Token Tuesday except the smallest, so unless you want the variant or really want to maximise tokens don't bother.

We don't know if TTs will be forever, but for now we have no reason to think that they're not. They've been popular enough that SD have recurred them past their initial period, and usually they will only do that with something they plan to keep.

Battle recap is cool this season!

https://www.marvelsnap.com/battlerecap/s11

I only played cosmo 125 times, way below what I thought! Devil dino in 361 games, which is about what I was expecting. I snap 18% of games and retreat 22% of games, which is less than I'd thought it would be.

whats this tempo deck?

Also yea dinohawk is awesome. One of the decks I finally learned to play yesterday since it worked with the poo poo location. Stormed one end with Hawk, and just outscore patriot in the other playable lane

I think it's the same as if you played a weenie deck in MTG. Tons of little guys with all sorts of ways to pump them.

Edit: Oh, another article suggests the concept is playing all cards with power higher than cost instead of relying on combos.

I'll hang up and wait for the answer.

I thought tempo was just the strong synergyless on-curve cards like iceman scorpion lizard polaris with some top end. The kinds of decks that used to run leader, then aero, now idk.

Just because I'm relatively new to the game, I looked up the literal character named Tempo to see if she had a card.

New Leaf: Jul 24, 2013; Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?

I've apparently upgraded Steampunk Bishop 12 times, which is likely true. It's a rad card and works in a lot of my decks.

Also, I've apparently won on Sacred Timeline in 73% of my games, so its my lucky spot.

Id like to see the percentage of likelihood that certain zones appear because I'm pretty sure places like ego bwnn and the peak are lower than most

# ? Apr 27, 2023 18:17

No Wave: Sep 18, 2005; HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!

Ego and worldship are the two that are confirmed to be super rare. There are also common and uncommon locations (I recall hearing that attilan is unfortunately common, bar sin is uncommon) but I dont think there's public info around more granular designations than that. I rarely see peak as well so there may well be.

GigaPeon: Apr 29, 2003; Go, man, go!

I just found out about this Battle Recap and these stats don't look right. Apparently i played Nimrod 428 times despite not owning him and Wolverine 666 times, which is a very large number and I don't even currently play Destroy.

I had the same S10 numbers when I manually entered the URL so I can confirm the S10 stats are broken. My S11 stats looked good even if others' didnt.

Allegedly around 3pm EST, but I think that�s operating on a presumption that the �every week OTA updates� are starting this month and not next.

April 27th - OTA Balance Updates
Welcome to the new world of regular balance updates using OTA! OTA stands for �Over-the-Air,� which means we can change the game without a big download. We�re making four changes today to freshen up the game balance, let�s dive right in:

Shanna
[Old] 4/2 � On Reveal: Add a random 1-Cost card to each location.
[New] 4/4 � On Reveal: Add a random 1-Cost card to each location.
Shanna has fallen a bit flat since release. Even during the height of Zabu�s might, she was a low-performing 4-Cost card and we�d like to give her a better chance to shine. This buff is simple, but highlights that Shanna wasn�t being appropriately compensated for needing four available slots to hit her ceiling. In general, cards and decks that fill many slots early are safer to make strong, since there�s plenty of game left to react or retreat and their ability to gain cubes is impeded. This is especially true in Shanna�s case, where the randomness and the existence of cards like Killmonger makes her a bit riskier. Hopefully this additional Power is enough.

Lizard
[Old] 2/5 � Ongoing: -3 Power if your opponent has 4 cards here.
[New] 2/5 � Ongoing: -4 Power if your opponent has 4 cards here.
When one card becomes a clear outlier on play rate because it�s playable in a huge number of decks, that�s something we flag and keep an eye on. That doesn�t mean we always take action�it�s important for us to keep in mind that the Series structure can serve to make cards appear overplayed when they�re actually just widely available. However, when we have a clear top card for the Cost and can slice a little bit of strength away from it without necessarily dethroning it, that�s largely a solid change for us to make. So that�s what�s happening here, with arguably the softest nerf we�ve ever made.

Sandman
[Old] 5/5 � Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn.
[New] 5/3 � Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn.
Since Sandman�s change from 4/1 to 5/5, we�ve seen him become a foundational piece of an Electro-based strategy that slows down the opponent and makes his effect feel asymmetrical by contesting multiple lanes with Dr. Doom or just some heavy hitters. That�s certainly the deck we expected to see, but it�s become more popular than we�d like. This tap on the main man makes him a less competitive source of Power, giving added edge to players committing cards early and making the endgame choices of each player more likely to ultimately determine the outcome of the game.

Enchantress
[Old] 4/4 � On Reveal: Remove the abilities from all Ongoing cards at this location.
[New] 4/6 � On Reveal: Remove the abilities from all Ongoing cards at this location.
It�s been particularly telling to us that in a world where Armor, Patriot, Darkhawk, Devil Dinosaur, Sandman, Blue Marvel, and even Knull are major players that Enchantress is a poor performer on both popularity and actual winning. There are mitigating factors, of course�Energy curves, priority battles, and so forth. But ultimately, she�s not functioning as a solid counter for Ongoing cards, especially the symmetrical ones that Rogue can�t interact with. Hopefully, this change lets her contest locations in addition to neutralizing major Power problems like Darkhawk or reclaiming a big turn 6 from an early Sandman.

Sandwolf: Jan 23, 2007; i'll be harpo

Think maybe they should have made Lizard a 2/4 -> 2/2 rather than a 2/5 -> 2/1. That Enchantress buff is loving nuts though.

# ? Apr 27, 2023 19:44

flatluigi: Apr 23, 2008; here come the planes

nah, i think lizard wouldn't get played if he was base 2/4

def excited to put enchantress back in decks, though, I have a killer variant for her

Lizard I don't get necessarily because he's already a loser against a full lane so it fundamentally changes nothing except for perception
