It doesn't have time. Galactus/Destroyer is the best variant anyway. I've wrecked so many people with the plan B of Shuri Nimrod Destroyer, and a lot more haven't expected a turn 6 Shuri + Death.

Nope. Surfer in the same lane went off without a hitch and won me the game. I've seen it in two games now, once in my favour and one against.

Can anyone help me understand why Absorbing Man didn't copy Hazmat's On Reveal? The only other thing I did on T6 was move Hood out of Plunder Castle



e: oh right, I had already copied Polaris with him and then Beasted him back and replayed him. The error msg he shouted out must have No Space to Move!

Both Hazmat and Absorbing Man were on T6

Did you play anything after Hazmat on turn 5? AB copies the last card played, not the last On Reveal played. Same goes for Mystique.

Oh, neat, good to keep in mind AB (and I assume Mystique as well) keeps their copied ability when bounced. I'm sure there's some kind of shenanigans to be had there

It's a bit unintuitive but afaict for Absorbing Man, Mystique, and Rogue, their new ability overwrites their original ability text, which is also why they can't say, double steal an Ongoing effect. If you Wong then Rogue, Rogue will steal one Ongoing, and then stop, because their new current text says whatever thing is she stole rather than her original On Reveal, steal an Ongoing yes I memorised this the hard way why doyouask

So if you use any of the three, bounce them back, their current card has the ability they copied rather than their original text, with everything that implies. I assume Iron Lad is the same but I haven't gotten around to buying him yet (but I might, am at 11800 tokens but was hoping for High Evilutionary)

I recently learned that playing Hulkbuster on somebody makes them count as "the last card you played" for purposes of Mystique, Absorbing Man, and Taskmaster and I've been trying to brew something that takes advantage of those interactions. It also occured to me that Venom is functionally kinda similar to Hulkbuster

It makes Hulk Buster great in move decks. Put down Multiple Man, Torch or Vulture, then play Iron Fist followed by Hulkbuster on them and they get real strong

I wanted to play with my new Doctor Doom variant and this deck took me from 92->95 this evening, it's a Bynx deck slightly modified (- Sentinel, + Cosmo) since Sentinel didn't do that much and Cosmo wrecks a bunch of decks

I think I'm going to try taking this to infinite instead of Hela this season



This deck is what got me to infinite and I'd highly recommend it. Still love Hela combo stuff, but everyone's running stuff that jacks it up right now.

I actually broke through to infinite off of someone who was playing IW/MODOK/Hela like I have, although they were running a list with Howard the Duck and Adam Warlock. That guy snapped on turn 4 and emoted "Snap?" a bunch after I snapped back on 6. That deck is hosed if you drop a Cosmo on them turn 6 and I telegraphed the hell out of it, but I'm glad he didn't see it coming.

Given that Central Park and Savage Land seem to be permanent Hot Locations when I play Galactus, it's not the least sensible concern.

Managed to make it to infinite with Galactus. Probably the most fun deck and im going to cry when/if they change him. The card that i hated to most to see was Zabu. God gently caress that idiot bastard cat.

Also got a season 4 card, Negasonic, and decided to check what pool 3 cards im missing in the 14 before completion and its all the cool poo poo like patriot, mystic bast, lockjaw, and leader.

# To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.

Here is the stereo like instruction set he posted with it. I love this deck because you really can autopilot it.

Opening tips.

1. ⁠Snap turn 1 if you get Lockjaw, Dracula and Wasp in your hand because you definitely won the game.
2. ⁠Snap turn 1 if you get Lockjaw and Wasp on your hand because you probably won the game.
3. ⁠Always retreat if they snap and you don’t have Lockjaw or Dracula and it’s turn 4. Also always retreat if you don’t have lockjaw or Dracula and it’s turn 4.
4. ⁠Always calculate what cards are in your deck on turn 6 before you play a card in lockjaw. Sometimes it’s better to play a card in a different lane if you have Wasp + Quicksilver in there.
5. ⁠Play Magneto turn 4 if they play wave and you think they know where Galactus is coming down or Leech into that lane. But if you don’t have 1 of those two cards, retreat on a turn 4 wave if they snap.

————————————————————————————— Turn by turn break down —————————————————————————————

Turn 1. ————

1. ⁠If opening hand has Lockjaw + Wasp and or Dracula, snap and play Quicksilver in A. The first lane if it’s not something bad or B. A random lane.
2. ⁠If opening hand has Lockjaw but no Wasp hold Quicksilver and move to turn 2
3. ⁠If opening hand does not have Lockjaw, play Quicksilver in A. The first lane if it’s not something bad or B. A random lane.

———— Turn 2. ————

1. ⁠Play Domino in same lane as Quicksilver to get 5 power in that lane, or, play her in the same lane as Nebula if she was played on turn 1 to mitigate the opposing players power there.

———— Turn 3. ————

1. ⁠If you have Lockjaw and Wasp, play them in an empty lane and snap if you have Dracula, Leech or Doom.
2. ⁠If you have Lockjaw but no Wasp, play him in an empty lane and end turn. Do not snap as you don’t know how the game will play out at this point, but stay in if the opponent snaps as you still have a good chance of winning.
3. ⁠If you don’t have Lockjaw, A. Stay in but be Rea to retreat if you don’t have a good hand, B. Retreat if the opposing player snaps and you don’t have Dracula.

———— Turn 4. ————

1. ⁠Play Dracula and snap if, A. You already have Lockjaw in the game and played Wasp this turn or last turn. B. You have 2 of these, Giganto, Magnito or Infinaught in hand.
2. ⁠Play Dracula and wait, but retreat if you don’t have a good hand and your opponent snaps.
3. ⁠Play Lockjaw if you don’t have Dracula. (Wasp as well if you have her.)
4. ⁠Retreat if you don’t have Dracula and Lockjaw is not in your hand to play or on the field.

———— Turn 5. ————

1. ⁠Play Leech into Quicksilver/Domino lane and Wasp into Lockjaw.
2. ⁠Play Captain Marvel into empty lane or Quicksilver/Domino lane and Wasp into Lockjaw.
3. ⁠Play Wasp into Lockjaw and Dracula into an empty lane.
4. ⁠Retreat.

———— Turn 6. ————

Look at the board. You will have a high chance of winning if any 3 of these things has happened.

1. ⁠You have leeched the opponent.
2. ⁠You have Captain Marvel out.
3. ⁠Dracula is out.
4. ⁠You have Doom ready to play into Lockjaw.
5. ⁠You have Quick silver and Domino in a lane with Leech or by themselves.
6. ⁠You have wasp in hand to play into Lockjaw and Doom to play somewhere as well.
7. ⁠You only have good cards left in your deck. (For example, Doom, Giganto, Magneto, infinaught, Captain Marvel.)

Here is how the turn should play.

1. ⁠Play Wasp into Lockjaw and Doom there as well. Or just one of them if thats all you have.
2. ⁠Play Wasp into Lockjaw and Giganto right if you have Infinaught in your hand.
3. ⁠Play Wasp into Lockjaw and Magneto into the Quicksilver/Domino lane to pull Darkhawk or other cards over.
4. ⁠Play Doom into Lockjaw and hope Wasp doesn’t come out lol.
5. ⁠Retreat if you don’t have any good plays.

Most of my wins ended with 10-13 power in left lane (Quicksilver, Domino, Leech, Doombot) 14-25 power in middle/right lane (Dracula + Doombot) 18-38 power in middle/right lane (Lockjaw + Chavez, Infinaught, Doom, Captain Marvel, Giganto or Magnito, and sometimes Wasp or Quicksilver if you get a bad pull but that was rare.)

This usually beats Darkhawk/Black Bolt because A. Leech got them B. The power is too big for them even after Shang do to Dracula plus a 13 power left lane do to them not calculating Quicksilver + Domino being a threat. C. Dracula, Captain Marvel and Doom all hit the right RNG.

This is not every single scenario and sometimes even with a good hand and smart plays you lose, but I was able to go from 84 to 100 in one day with this deck. It works, just learn when to snap and when to retreat.

I hope you enjoyed this deck and this guid! :)

Finally it's just a good deck into the featured today.

Ohh I subbed Wave in over Leech and never looked back.

I'm honestly even excited to lose with Galactus. The perspective of the player is the only viewpoint I don't accurately have for how bad this card is and once I can start scamming one cubes I'll be able to complain about how not only is Galactus is a bad card, it's not even a good bad card

O this was so delicious

There had been a pair of 20+ Power Venoms in Sinister London and Milano. I had the energy for T6 Skrull + Shang thanks to the pair of Electros I Destroyered.

Let me just say though, the one time I want to face Galactus decks they are nowhere to be found. I just want to let a Galactus activate and then take their cubes. Sniping them with Prof X has become so regular it's lost a touch of its shimmer.

What the gently caress. The first game I played was against a High Evolutionary deck and I'm not sure what you're even supposed to do about it. Cyclops, Misty, Thing, and Wasp were just draining power from everyone on my side, then they Moon Girl and dropped 2 Abominations on my side plus a pile of other stuff on 6. Evolutionary doesn't even have to be out for things to activate. What's even the counter?? I'm totally lost against this thing..
