Kang is borderline impossible to balance with that effect. He's either going to be basically worthless (the current status quo) or completely broken beyond imagination.

Maybe make it so on the replay turn you get to draw an extra card to replace your Kang in hand, but snaps don’t get reset.

I think replacing your Kang with a draw would be one of the things that totally breaks him

I lost 2 spots trying a theory but if you drop Kang in Deep Space, Quake it so it's not there anymore, then Zola him out, the screen goes crazy and then both copies disappear.

is dinohawk just dead? lost like 15 ranks lately with this exact deck

would be nice if i could ever touch infinite but i'm probably gonna drop below 50 at this rate

I’ve been cycling through a bunch of decks in infinite (also Hela, Galactus, Sandman Ramp, Patriot, High Evolutionary with Black Widow/Beast), but I broke into 116 off of pretty much exactly this one (- Lad, + Maria Hill) after it got me there in the first place.

I’ve made it up to 119, my only real motivation is tricking out variants and completing pool 3.

A minor buff would be to make Kang cost the current turn number, so you can play him whenever you want.

After I hit infinite I changed my handle to “Not Playing Galactus” with the season pass Wolverine avatar and played Galactus. There was one guy who instantly conceded before the animation went off when I played it against him and when I matched up against him the next day he conceded immediately lol

Wong makes it happen twice, Odin just makes On Reveals happen again. He'll send a goblin back though, if that's what you mean

Right, thanks. My brain calculated Odin as two On Reveals I guess. I love Hobgoblin but I'd rather he stayed on the enemy side.

6/0. When played, it doubles On Reveals that are there, then flies to the other side of the board, then flies back. :haw:

The only change Galactus might need is like, an opening animation showing that he’s in the deck. And then maybe buff him to a 6/6 or something to compensate

Still to good of a buff. He would be a deck thinner on any turn but turn 1.

The first part would even be on-theme.

I hit one earlier that only works on Rickety Bridge apparently, it was like Galactus buried in a Destroy deck. Galactus on 5, Bucky on 6 so he outlives anything you have there.

Looking up what Deadpool does makes me think Resurrection Man Mr. Immortal would be a fitting card for this game. And then that led me to think it would be awesome to have some more comedy team cards like from GLA or Nextwave.

Oh, nice. I'm assuming for good reasons they wouldn't do Big Bertha. I guess maybe that's it, actually. Doorman is extremely similar to Cloak so he's not really a compelling addition except maybe a more limited version of Cloak and with lower cost and power, and obviously Squirrel Girl is already in the game.

Decided to roll Iron Patriot, and this is somehow the first time I've ended up with real big numbers; before I've only seen them in screenshots. Honestly kind of shocked they didn't leave after I Skrull'd their Wong-Leader'd Onslaught.

Someone made a bunch of GLA joke cards and Doorman was "if played in the middle allows cards to move from one side to the other".

This game desperately needs some sort of booster exchange system. I have over a thousand for multiple characters and no credits to spend on them. Some I have just how I want them aesthetically and won't use any more. It's ridiculous how many things give you boosters once you get past 50 for the season.. Let me exchange them for some other currency, I'd even take a really poo poo exchange rate.

Eh the boosters are just the filler. It's kind of annoying to have so many for the pool 1/2 cards I used getting started and more annoying not to have any for new cards I want to upgrade, but I guess that's life.

that booster magnet they talked about would be welcome at least because even with their changes I'm still getting tons of boosters for cards in my deck where I have way more than I need while I just want another 15 or whatever to boost up whichever card I haven't used much but is now in a netdeck i stole. and then i have to hope for another 40 or 50 to boost them again.

No Wave
Sep 18, 2005

HA! HA! NICE! WHAT A TOOL!
The booster magnet is in the game. Play with a card you dont have enough boosters to upgrade further and its 2x more likely to get boosters. IE purple border iron man when you have 20 boosters. Red border when you have 30 boosters. Grey border when you have 1 booster. etc. Its long-term meaningful but pretty subtle game to game.

That would be cool.

Doorman probably wouldn't be appropriate for this but it'd be interesting if there was ever a card that allowed movement to loop around. As in, go off-screen and come back on the other side. Or effects to loop around.

Spider-Verse would have been the perfect opportunity to bring in The Spot for that, actually.

Yeah, at this point, turn 1 Yondu alone is such a dead giveaway that I actually wonder if you could get more mileage out of Galactus by playing random cards Turn 1/2 so that he is actually a surprise.

I never liked Yondu in Galactus for exactly that reason. Korg (poo poo up their deck a bit), Hood (for the 1/6 drop at the end), or Zero (esp if you're playing the Destroyer Galactus version) all seem like reasonable alternatives that don't provide as much of a heads up.

Korg also makes them think you're playing Darkhawk/Doomwave, it's a good misdirect.

Yondu is a great 1 drop because they think you're playing destroy/Galactus and it gives you info/tells you both they don't have their combo. I run him in my Zola/Odin ramp and it's incredibly effective.

While Yondu is obvious, he does provide one extra card for Death and Knull, which can be a big help since you’re usually not playing much on turns 1-2 anyway.

Congrats! I bought Jeff instead of Iron Lad. I don’t regret it because Jeff really helped with my control deck but Iron Lad looks so strong in so many decks.
