He worked ok in my 'gotta know what they're gonna do so I can counter their turn 5' deck if I didn't draw daredevil in time but he's more just add for flavor than anything else

Kang so far has only been a real mainstay in one version of my Galactus deck, but I ultimately just cut him for Nebula. He was real good for "Yeah of course I definitely obviously have the answer haha turn 6 snap" for opponent retreats. I think he can fit into any deck that has an obvious dangerous turn (Galactus, Wong), and you're missing even more optimal cards to fill his role. Maybe you don't have Spider Man or Doc Ock or Knull. Maybe you don't have Mystique to double up on Wong. Until those cards come by, Kang can be there to scam some wins. Be very careful of playing him in a deck that also runs Cosmo though....  First game in and I'm convinced Shadow King is good.

Kang is good for snap metagaming to get extra cubes, that's it. It's rarely going to give you an actual advantage that will end up winning you a close game, but it will confirm when you can snap/retreat with little to no risk, and it will let you bluff a snap to try and force a retreat, then rewind and not commit to the snap.

I had a little fun putting Yondu and Wolverine into my Destroyer deck, once those two go down a lot of people retreat immediately. Not really sustainable in the long term but it's a kick

Let’s brainstorm some feasible nerfs to Galactus, because I just dunno how they nerf him without making the card a doughnut. If he only blows up one location, that’s p useless. Lowering his power does nothing cuz hes rarely played on T6. I could see them hitting maybe Doc Ock? So that he only pulls 2-3 cards? I also desperately wish for Galactus nerfs but I just don’t see how it comes about.

The only reasonable nerf for Galactus is a ground-up rework. I would make him a 6/0 destroy a location and drop the "only card here" requirement, I think that would have reasonable destroy synergy and still work well with his established kit

if they do nerf it I think it'd be making destroying locations not actually destroy the cards at those locations, removing the nimrod/wolverine/knull/death synergies that make winning the location galactus is at braindead easy

1/1 starts in your hand can only be played on turn 1, all locations become ruins. I've wanted a card like this so I can play the closest thing I can to no items final destination mode where the locations can't hurt me anymore Snazzy Frocks fucked around with this message at 18:19 on May 20, 2023 |

The problems that I see with Galactus are all Knull. Galactus + Death is good but 14 power is beatable even without a silver bullet for Galactus decks, you can go over the top. You could make Galactus 6/10 and lose 1 power for each card destroyed this game, which would allow better counterplay. You could make Galactus de-ramp you and reset your energy to 1 after he triggers so you can play a little bit on future turns but not keep ramping out big stuff. This especially would let you use cheap or free cards to play behind him which would take setup on early turns.

It also kinda ruins the big cool splashy effect of blowing up the locations. If you just Prof X'd them and set the power to zero it wouldn't feel like a big deal to play Galactus, it's just another lane control effect.

The only nerf that really makes sense for Galactus is that he's completely removed from the game and everybody with him is given 6000 tokens.

I bet he gets changed to 6/6 or 8: If this is the only card at this location, destroy this location. Makes more sense thematically, and now they have to win two lanes instead of just one. Still powers Knull.

Also gives you a chance to try and out power them in the other lane to beat the tiebreaker? Still uses Doc Ock, Spiderman, Goblin BS. Doesn’t purely benefit from Electro ramp, still benefits from Wave ramp. Of course, instead they’ll just start taking shots at Knull, Doc Ock, Hobgoblin, Spiderman instead of the actual problem card.

My Galactus change would probably be to give him the Leech treatment and change it from an on reveal to an end of game effect. Kills Spider-Man and Death+Knull bullshit dead, leaves existing T6 Galactus curves alone, turns ramping him out early into a mindgame where you can try to get your opponent to overcommit to the lane only to drop something else there yourself at the last second. Maybe make it specifically "end of turn 6" rather than "end of game" if you want to open up the possibility for some galaxy brain Magik plays.

Had a great game where I Leadered their Magneto, moving their Lockjaw, which then threw his Magneto back in the deck and replacing it with a Juggernaut, winning me the game. I would have lost if I hadn't gone back in since his lockjaw would have been just enough points to win that location

Slowpoke! posted:Don’t nerf Galactus till I’m done climbing with him. Just hit 98, and I’ve never gotten this high before Can’t believe how easy it was to climb from 60 to Infinite this season. I never made it past 88 before. The new changes probably make Galactus a smoother climb since 1-2 cubes per game is more meaningful with levels being 7 cubes now.

High Evolutionary is going to open up a brand new deck archetype. Howard is meh. Living Tribunal is definitely a wait and see. In a game where the goal is to win 2 out of 3 lanes it may be counterproductive to spread your power across all 3.
