Just got hit by an absolutely wild Galactus setup in the proving grounds that caught me totally off guard the first time: Wong -> Cloak into whichever lane I dumped power into early + Forge into Wong's lane -> 11 power Galactus that forces me into a coinflip situation. They played Zabu too, so presumably they also had Shuri in the deck as another potential playline, albeit more predictable.

I don’t think they’re gonna get more creative/rewarding so they can basically be ignored per player. token as in representation of a fact, not like the currency

I'd fully resigned myself to being locked out of the Spider-Ham mission, but I just got him out of a Cache. That was a quick four wins!

If it were just play 15 games that would at least be doable, but 15 wins is asking a lot, especially since so many people work weekends

Conquest needs a few tweaks. 1) Sideboard between matches. 2) 8 cube max - not 10. Thoughts?

C2 is finally a competitive deck by the untapped stats at least. I'm torn as C2 is one of my favorite decks, but now my old degenerate self is happy they made red skull a card again too. It probably doesn't matter because Shuri is a fair deck right now so he probably wont see much play.

I agree that game is fundamentally built to not have sideboards as the decks are only 12 cards, and this would make the Conquest mode worse. It would also probably make some decks completely insane. The way to get a better skill expression from snap competition is a multiple deck selection and banning system or multiple match system. Neither of which is appropriate for Conquest per say but that's ok in my opinion.

I can't believe how well I've done with that movement deck. I'd barely touched Conquest before today really and cleared a Silver ticket and very nearly cleared a Gold. I still think it takes too drat long but its nice to be able to try decks without losing your main rank.

Against the same opponent, you'd have to wonder if they were going to switch decks or not and whether you should as well. Go with what works? Keep the element of surprise? Pick a counter for what you think they'll go with?

I like the idea of making double snapping the full HP. 10 HP is an odd number for betting 1,2,4, or 8 anyways

honestly just make it so you can snap for more then the max hp. It loving sucks losing 8 cubes then having to win 5 in a row to come back.

I love Proving Grounds. Signed up just to grind out my quests. Ended up T'Challa-ing two lanes for, like, 130 and 260 respectively and then conceded after the first round. I imagine my opponent was a bit surprised.

To be honest it turns out the Lockjaw change a couple months back was actually a buff! Now you can cycle Wasp AND play your Hulk/other big card and have it stick around.

I tried Vipering a 4 turn Kitty Pryde over to the enemy on turn 5, before Weirdworld swapped our hands, but I forgot that the card returns to hand after the location goes off. Totally doable on Turn 4, though!

i just took sunspot out of the deck i was already using for ghost spider to get these 15 wins done but its actually been kind of fun! sometimes its functionally 2 energy for 5 power (use her to pull nebula out of the lane you originally put her in, dodging their first play which would normally stall nebula's growth) but i just had one where i yanked nebula blind into lane 3 which ended up being worldship, along with evolved cyclops and prof x in hand to really shut the game out e: just pulled nebula out of the way of an elektra lol quite stretched out fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Jun 26, 2023 |

Yeah, I get it, you Hazmatted my team to puddles of goo, can we move this along please?

Man, do I ever hate whatever you call the HE/JaneJaw mashup deck (not all of them are full JaneJaw, maybe just Jaw). Mostly because I have all the cards but just cannot get it to ever work for me. Oh, they played Lockjaw and Wasp? Guess I'm getting hit for -2 (because I'll never draw my Luke Cage) and they'll bring their Hulk or Dracula (who will always discard a 9+ power card). Oh, they Storm-ed a location and then did Jubilee T4? Yup, pulling in a big boy (or maybe like just Cyclops that whittles my guys down every turn.) When I play the deck, Lockjaw or Jubilee will pull in HE himself, like...40% of the time, I swear. One time, I sent Wasp onto Lockjaw, she pulled in Jubilee who then pulled...Wasp back. And they had Luke Cage out, so didn't even at least get a potential -4 to their power. I have better luck just playing straight up Destroy decks, honestly...and they're more fun! The worst part lately is getting my Death or Knull pig'd. Oh, and speaking of, you better believe when I Pig something, it's Infinaut or Giganto, essentially buffing it...or maybe it's just a Hulk but it's T2 or T3 so he already got a buff. I'm wondering if they are going to go back to NOT showing what an Ongoing buffed card's power is in your hand anymore? Because of this Pig nonsense, as said, an HE Hulk can get bufffed and the pig is the new power, because the Puig takes the power currently shown in the hand (likewise, if you get a Death Pig'd later, the pig has her reduced cost as well.) I haven't seen a Knull get Pig's after he's started gainign power, but I imagine he works like HE Hulk does? But then there's poor Morbius. For some reason, he doesn't show his Ongoing power in-hand like Knull or HE Hulk does. Or they "fix" him (never understood why he doesn't show it in hand if Knull does?) so he can get Puig's but still have some power? (though what kind of hand do you have if a 2-cost if the one to get Pig'd? IDK, but if there was ever a hand that COULD get to that state, it's a Discard deck.,

The Hulk/Knull thing is a bug. I would expect it to get fixed in the next patch. They have Hulk and Knull show their power in hand because it's hard to keep track of otherwise, but however they coded it messes with Ham.

Juggernaut, Stegron, Magneto on 6, Echo soon, Cosmo, Enchantress, Rogue — Wong is definitely a most hated card, but his effect is also so strong that he needs to be counter able with some kind of regularity. I think making him act like Lockjaw or Shuri (no ongoing, or painting the location itself) wouldn’t be a bad idea because it would only kill Rogue, Enchantress, and Echo as counters.

DrBouvenstein posted:What's the third? Rogue. And yeah being an ongoing that enables on reveals makes you vulnerable to both counters with no way to protect Wong. His effect is so strong though that i don't really mind the counters. Invis woman is pretty good protection.
