Would you like to play a game?



I feel like of the cards this month, the best two (besides Nebula) are going to be Iron Lad and HE. The others seem OK but not amazing.

Was Prof. X always an Ongoing? I know Enchantress didn't use to effect him.

Also just found out that Doc Ock can't pull cards into a flooded lane

here come the planes
i think living tribunal is going to have some solid decks around its unique effect, especially with cards like knull and shuri going around that can really stack power in one location

that said, i think getting HE is the choice to make, followed by, like, jeff

Neither of those sound correct. For the second one, are you sure the other player wasn't just out of cards in their hand? (Guessing there's a Sinister London involved here, which would make that reasonably likely imo.)

My opponent was the one playing Doc Ock and he Zola'd it into the flooded lane. I definitely had cards in my hand, the second Doc Ock even succeeded in pulling them out.

I was asking about Prof. X cause I got taken by suprise when he didn't work on Isle of Silence. The Enchantress interaction comes from back when I was playing S1/S2 and I thought I was so clever for slipping Enchantress in on the same turn my opponent played Xavier, only for nothing to happen. Though that was months ago at this point

I think Enchantress can only hit him if Prof. X reveals first. I've only had this happen once.

To be fair, they've been aware that they were making too many restrictive locations for a long time so they stopped making new ones months ago, but it takes quite a while to get the new locations into the game.

We're just now starting to see the effect of their new direction I think.

If I can only get one: Howard, High Evolutionary, or Living Tribunal? (I have Galactus and Thanos already)

If I could get only one, I'd wait until Living Tribunal is out and see how he does, but then I'd probably get High Evo because I suspect that to be the much better card out of those three.

Howard just isn't worth 6k, and living tribunal seems pretty bad.
I'd wait to see how good HE looks after a few days out in the wild then get him because he's not rotating down anytime soon.

I'd enjoy more deck building challenges. Kinda liked the "use star lord" one. I don't really care about rank and enjoy playing different decks.

:yeah:

Also I'd feel pretty bad as an artist if my sick variant got put behind just absolutely dogshit levels-of-value bundles that disincentivize the majority of the player base from getting to use and enjoy them. Card games and comics both are pretty much catnip for collectors and the more and more they continue to release only exclusive versions of a bunch of poo poo the more obnoxious it gets. Like I don't personally care for most Venomized variants but I know people who want them all, and well, pay your 5000 gold or get out of the way I guess.

Played against someone who dropped Galactus turn 6 on Luke's Bar. This is the only reason I'm tempted by Galactus, to do that.

I do this sometimes. I was losing badly one match and my opponent snapped early so I dropped t5 Galactus on Death's Domain

We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

I had heard there was a limit on the amount of boosters you can earn on a day, but had forgotten about it until I reached it earlier today. Completely drained my phone battery while farming boosters and vitamin D in the backyard. I was running Thanos + other cards with no theme or synergy. Lost me about 10 levels (don't really care anyway), but I can finally upgrade some cards all the way to infinite that I hadn't touched since last year (and probably never will again).

I'd argue Mystique and Ultron are both potentially worse outcomes depending on board state.
