Yeah I can see it more as a Galactus counter than for Mojo. Mojo is going to be a very rare once in a while bonus, not the key to your victory.

If I were so worried about Galactus that I need to play a Goblin, I'd swap Amy Chav out before Bishop. Bishop is frequently more power for less investment.

Kingpin and Magneto are pretty good series 3 cards against move, and Cosmo and Professor X can shut it down hard.

Having Kingpin KO people on T6 with help from Magneto (or a backup like Stegron/Polaris/whatever) is a ton of fun, but part of the challenge is keeping the lane clear so Mags has room to pull people in.

I do pretty well by having Mojo in the same lane, or by parking bait (Lizard, for example) in another. Cards like Elektra/Killmonger/Shang-Chi clear out the riffraff, too.

Edit: A lot of people love Juggernaut as an alternative to Mags, but I don't have one, so

Point of Chavez isn't to ever be played, it's to make your chance of drawing your key cards (Shulk/Moon Girl) higher.

When you get Juggs, try out a typical lane lockdown deck. Storm, Kingpin in the Storm lane, Prof X, Juggernaut. You can also use Cloak. Drop Cloak on 5 and if you have priority you can drop Kingpin on top to kill whatever your opponent moves, or put in Vulture and Dagger for some extra power. Lots of options.

Your killer track.




Went from 50-60 today, which is faster than i usually manage. Used my trusty SeraMonkey deck but swapped out Polaris for Kingpin to head off any Move decks (there were none).

I think most of my opponents were bots? I'm usually pretty bad at spotting them but these were really obvious.

Kitty/Hit Monkey bounce is also quite fun.

Like others, I have had such a different strong start to this season. Usually I seem to flounder for at least the first week but this time I'm already back to the 80s after starting at 58.

It's been a fun start to the season! I feel like I've also faced a lot of very odd decks and I assume bots, based on how they play things (iron fist over and over into the cloning vats on the left, for example). That's helped me win a good number of 8 and 4 cube games which helped my climb back into the 80s.

No you see the devs HAVE to balance the game using rarity, if they don't do this they would have to balance the game using nerfs/buffs instead resulting in a bland game, and that's both harder and less profitable for them, so suggesting they do otherwise is literally stealing food from their plates.

Man, almost like the people upset during the last season drop had a point instead of just being laughably butthurt they didn't get to run Knull in Galactus or whatever other cope people were using to justify the drop not happening being good, actually.

I basically have every card I want. Iron Lad seems useful but I wouldn't immediately slot him in to any of my decks. Even though I have him pinned I might just hold my tokens for now.

I also started at 83. Climbed to 90 yesterday, and finished infinite today with MarvelSnapZone‘s Destroy deck in the hot location.

Usually I take a few weeks for that. Thanks, bug!

It also felt like I saw more bots, and the hot location makes it easier to exploit them. Either some more bugs / changes to matchmaking, or weirdly unpopulated MMR brackets this early in the season…?
