I'm struggling to think of what decks Tribunal would work in. I guess he'd be a good last minute surprise, but all the cards that bring in big points tend to be T6 cards themselves. Thanos Ongoing, maybe

Negative ironman/mystique/LT is probably best case

Isn’t Living Tribunal the opposite of off kilter?

Which is why they "buffed" him from 6/4 to 6/6. Just regular Wave, Onslaught, Mystique, Iron Man in one lane is 166 split three ways with Tribunal. Not many decks can get 56 power into two lanes.

LIVE AT MONSTER TRUCK JAM 2KXX



I celebrated the reaching CL 3k by treating myself to the season pass, so now i have nebula and with kitty i thought I'd try and bring sexy Kazaar back. It's really fun and i haven't run into anyone else at this CL/rank doing an actual kazaar deck, but it also lives or dies on titania/maw being in my hand.

The not so pleasant part is that i did get it so i could get the pinned knull i had because this meta is a hard numbers check. If your deck isn't meta to a degree not even tech cards are helping, you can't enchantress or cosmo those effects. Feels a lot harsher than when i was starting out against old zabu/old shuri, mostly because it feels like your only strong choices are roulette/scam decks like hela casino, wong gambit, galactus spider knull.

Feels like lots of decks are just dead in the water. Haven't seen any move decks cause they come up lacking in a lane and are too predictable in which lane it is usually. Cerebro got meta nerfed to uselessness other than c2, and that's more a side effect of cage becoming a meta tech counter. It really is just high evo and the enchantress/cosmo/rogue/skrull counter roulette.

Don't really understand how high evos effect is powerful AND you don't need to play the card to activate it. Why would Patriot then, for 1 less mana for a completely weaker effect, need to be played

Nah, Harry always has fun losing in absurd ways and even more fun with the occasional absurd win. It's why he's the best Snap streamer to watch.

Hey folks, just reinstalled after half a year, and have a question: Was Kitty Pryde a freebie card at some point? I have no idea how I have one, as it's apparently tier 5.

Other than that, game's fun now that I'm so far behind the meta that I'm not chasing. Captain Marvel is still my favourite card.

Kitty Pride was so broken when she released that they took her down within the day iirc. Then they said it would take a month or so to fix. Then maybe two months. Anyway sometime last month they decided eh screw it, we botched that hard, everyone who didn't have Kitty gets Kitty, and also, everyone who bought her gets like 9000 tokens or so in compensationishouldhaveboughther

Quite the reverse - this week's Hot Location is Deep Space, which disables all card text. Mojoworld will be hot on 11th June, but that's hardly conspiracy territory.

Does your opponent have to play Magik for that to work?

Obviously you tinkers workshop out a shocker t1 with wave as your left card, ezpz.

EDIT: this wouldn’t work, t2 wave means no one casts anything turn 2

Didn’t 6/4 tribunal do it at the end of the game and not as an ongoing too?

Saw my first LT and it was a fairly smart idea, Negative-Magik-Dino-Mystoque. That said, it required a real perfect storm of stuff and I still beat him

He could have had dino mystique in two lanes and probably do better

Getting buffed to 6/6 actually made him worse for the one deck archetype it'd thrive in, negative stuff

My initial thought was something like Korg, Zabu, Darkhawk, Mystique, Dino/Gamora, Living Tribunal but even that doesn't seem that good.

After that was some sort of lockdown deck, especially with Storm/Prof X. Make it difficult to fill up a lane or two because they're unplayable...but those cards are so weak it dilutes that LT part of the combo.

Just theorycrafting, not that I own the card.

I would bet they need to buff him to like 6/15 or something to be viable. Makes it more like doom in solo effectiveness

6/11 and excludes himself from the redistribution, maybe?

Apparently LT calculates even while hidden in Dark Dimension, according to Reddit. Another well-tested card.

If I called the shots I’d try making tribunal a 4/6, maybe even like a 1/-5 or something. If you take your big turn off to play a 6/6 you’re gonna have a hard time getting out points, and as an ongoing card letting him come down before turn 6 makes him vulnerable to enchantress or rogue

Got the game earlier this month after some friends talked it up and it's been pretty awesome so far. Toughest part is understanding just what the cards and locations will *actually* do.

Case in point today, I was able to get Leech onto the left and right locations and his power worked to stop Forge but Scarlet Witch still went ahead and did her thing on the location there. Am I missing something obvious?

Yeah so Leech hit at the beginning of the turn before the draw, so the drawn card doesn't get the effect.

He doesn't seem all that great. That deck was just a who-cares deck built out of my least-used cards so I can get some cheap collection levels. Funnily enough its win/loss record seems as good or better as decks I build with actual forethought and strategy! Guess there's something to be said for unpredictability because half the time even I don't know what I'm going to draw since I swap in new cards into it a lot.

Snapped because I finally had Invisible Woman > MODOK > Hela lined up correctly.

Of course they get priority dropping Galactus into the empty lane that was about to be filled with six drops.
