Managed to get 80 today on a streak from 76. I had kind of given up but my lovely homebrew dino deck got me there eventually.

I got valk from a cache recently which has cemented my free card for bast, so I'm hoping a c3 ends up being strong because these days as much as I like playing other deck gimmicks, i find myself gravitating more and more towards 2 archetypes because they put up the biggest numbers by the end, and that's zolaing shurid up dudes on wong and discard apocadrac/(and when i get him, galactus/knull) because 25 in every lane doesnt cut it anymore.

Yeah, I ended this season at rank 95 and 71 on the battlepass. Tried to get those last five levels but luck was not on my side. Still can't believe I got to Galactic though, jeez. This time I'm definitely aiming for Infinite for that sweet gold tapedeck back.

First month for me where battle pass isn’t an auto buy. Nebula looks good and strong but the game is becoming a bit of a slog that I’m not sure I want to spend money on. Hopefully I find something that makes it really fun for me again

I think I'm now a full Matchmaking truther. If I play Galactus or Thanos decks it's a brutal climb against good decks. But just yesterday I built a Zabu Darkhawk deck, nothing fancy in it Dark hawk being the only S4 card (I think) and I was just getting matched against just terrible decks played badly.

Tried C5 today and most matches where against Galactus decks. Really loving lame. Switched to a daredevil deck with profX and I don't see any. Match making is really pathetic.

I'm so loving done with Galactus. It's so dull uninspiring and boring to play against. Yes I know its bad cube rate, counterable *blah blah blah* but it just means that unless you're hard teching against it, wave into Galactus = lose 2 cubes and peace out. I like to play games to have fun, and this is just not fun to play against.

Just pointed a guy to the Nuverse shop to get a cheap season pass, and he poo poo his pants because it was going to charge him 499.00.

I get the Galactus hate, but if you know what’s coming, you should not be losing 2 cubes to that list ever. If they Wave on 3 and you can’t counter on 4, just retreat. I know losing isn’t fun, but bailing on turn 3 means you invested 60 seconds of your life in the match so far. It’s ok to leave.

If they snap on 1 before you know they're Galactus you'll lose 2 cubes on the retreat. That's probably what he means.

If you have the cards sera surfer has a really good galactus matchup. Between goose and Cosmo and juggernaut and Polaris if you see the signs and play goose into an empty lane turn 2 you can make every lane ungalactusable by turn 3 quite often

Yea most galactus players correctly snap turn 1 since it’s super obvious what’s coming two turns in and if the opponent doesn’t have the counter it’s peace out if you’re snapping later

So weird how different people get matched up. I don't think I ever saw a turn 1 Galactus snap on my way to 95 last season, CL 5058. I almost always stay in against turn 1 snaps because I'm dumb with my cubes.

T’is, with Hit Monkey this week, Iron Lad next, Howard the Duck after that, High Evo, and lastly Living Tribunal.

Also interesting that this might be the best new collection of cards in a few months. Iron Lad seems like it could be really strong in a lot of decks, Howard seems extremely valuable for planning your turns out, High Evo could maybe be insanely OP on release, and Living Tribunal, which looks weak, but who knows if someone will figure out how to break it insanely quickly with Iron Mans and Omega Reds, Onslaught and whatnot.

Yeah, every card in May is a slammer. And just to rub it in, so are most of the cards in June - Spider-Man 2099 in particular is a loving beating.

You reckon? I thought it’d slot into a Darkhawk deck super well where basically any ability it copies is gonna be pretty strong. Also it’d be risky to run in any deck with goblins.

I also call these things wrong sometimes but I think High Evo might really be stupid OP on release.

Turn 1 Howard the duck

Turn 3 *snap* iron lad the top deck Galactus

Sure it's gonna be rare for that exact play out but it'll happen

Does he copy on reveals too? Pretty easy to make a good deck around him there'll just be some tension between him and bast maybe. Kind of an insane card tbh.

Yeah but I feel like part of Galactus strength is getting you to commit resources to locations that won’t exist, but you might be right that we’ll see T3 Iron Ladactus into T4 Spiderman into T5 Doc Ock and that is horrible.

It’s really easy to come up with 11 cards that make a cohesive deck and are at worst not bad hits off iron lad. Wong with Black Panther and Forge and Mr Sinister, move decks with spider man 2099 or vulture or even heimdall, ongoing decks with iron man and mystique and zabu, Dino decks with moon girl and jubilee and Dino himself, in galactus his worst case is big yondu and his best case is cheaper stronger nimrod…

Sera hazmat decks could probably squeeze evolutionary, abomination, and maybe shocker or thing in there. I don’t think there’s enough cards yet but shocker would go in some hypothetical electroless ramp deck with psylock and cost-reducers one day.

Does anyone else have Negasonic Teenage Warhead yet?

It would be pretty weak if he didn't. His text says that he copies the text of your top card on reveal, so anything but the energy and power gets duplicated.

Goose is my pool 3 card right now. Should I take it? It would feel pretty good in my Sera deck and my C2... I'm really hoping to get Death or maybe Dracula though.
