This is the answer. Stop thinking in analog, think digital. There is a new card that is the "merged" version of both Hulkbuster and whatever it merged with.

Related question: Hulkbuster, Cerebro, Helicarrier, and Quinjet are the only collectible* card that are not a character. (They're a suit and a vehicle, respectively) What other not-characters are ripe for inclusion?

Obvious first choice answer is the Spider-Mobile, but I think the Fantasticar, X-Jet, and the Ultimate Nullifier are ripe for inclusion.

* Non-collectible includes things like the Infinity Stones and Mjolnir. Am I missing any from the collectible list?

I quite like it. Not 110€ like it though.

I already have two collector arts that I'd rather use (dan hipp and Ivan shavrin) even if I was in a position to spend a hundred bucks on this game

Dan Hipp Bast! Not bad for a free variant. When Ben Brode was on stream with Bynx earlier this week he said that Luke Cage was underrated. I was hoping for a buff. This is a good start.

He was also adamant that Bynx use the Hello! emote to start every game. If you get a Hello! maybe it’s Ben.

I don’t think it’s “an” artist. The Chibis and the Pixels are all created by “G-Angle” which I have to imagine is some small art design studio that they contracted out with. I think they purposefully were put in there as a “floor” for variants. Even the best Pixel variants (Odin, Killmonger, Hellcow) all have even better variants. Basically a booby prize so when you get a good variant it feels a bit better.

They were made by https://www.g-angle.com

Pretty sure that's not just an individual artist, seems like they were just produced in batch for the cheapest price possible.

Regardless, most of them are just bad.

If I drop red skull then taskmaster then Zola the taskmaster, will tm keep his power (tm, the last card played is dead), copy red skull again, or copy Zola?

When you Zola the Taskmaster, the last fully played card will be Taskmaster. Since TM is cloned and his ability was a 'set', TM should keep his power, but then since the original TM was destroyed, the copy should whiff.

So you end up with two Taskmasters of the same size.

Alternatively, they look alright when they’re on the board, but when you look at them closely they’re abominable.

you can set https://marvelsnapzone.com/variants/ to just pixels and i think on average they're fine? and there's even a few of them i'd rather have than the base versions, like killmonger

i do think the most common ones are just garbo and that colors how people feel in general

From what I've heard from streamers who were playing during beta, the pixel variants were prized because you could only get them through collection level. So they were kind of a flex of how deep you were in the pool. They started to be despised when they showed up on ladder and in the season pass and store.

Also I decided to log in today and the season reset put me at rank 10? I'm pretty sure I was in the 50's before I stopped playing last month. It honestly might be enough to let me play again as the climb through the 30's and 40's is pretty chill and about as close to a casual mode as the game gets.

If i am instantly snapping when you drop Wong it's because I have Cosmo in-hand and priority. I mean I guess I could be bluffing but just...why?

Got Pixel Death

Been slowly climbing back up with same deck I hit infinite with. Getting buffs to Enchantress and Luke is cool. Nerf to Lizard hasn't really been an issue.

Scarlet Witch has given me some ridic luck the last couple of days, like turning a location into Necrosha after I have Luke out, or into Kamar Taj when my opponent played Hobgoblin. Also, Killmonger is doing some heavyy lifting, especially against Nebula and Rocket.

I will sometimes drop Wong himself as a bluff! Haha!

Granted my game is already going pretty badly if I’m doing that.

I got sports Quicksilver; I’d rather have a pixel of an actual usable card honestly.

Pretty sure Zola becomes the last played card once the TM gets destroyed and you end up with 2 0 power TMs.

Nope. Zola isn't the last played card until his On Reveal completes. Same as how if you play Jubilee and it pulls Taskmaster, Taskmaster will copy whatever you played before Jubilee.

Yeah, Luke was already a huge staple for me (and I've got residual fondness for him being my first series 4 card when 4 and 5 initially launched) so even a little bump is appreciated; I might try him in C2 now as well.
