Had you destroyed more than one card?

(See also: Hela won't bring back more than's in the discard pile)

Shouldn't matter. PF is played on London, resurrects Human Torch in this case. London triggers and copies the PF with HT included to the next location. This is how every other card in the game like this works, but not Phoenix Force for some reason.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.

Best use I can think of is Human Torch if he gets Killmongered
I played against a deck that went Torch into Carnage into Phoenix Force. And I beat it handily, because yes, that’s a very nice 100+ power card, what’s your plan for the other two lanes.

At least at first acquaintance, I can’t see any use for the Phoenix. Move and Destroy are very different archetypes that don’t mesh together, and you have to actively avoid using the strengths of either one, all in the service of an extremely brittle combo where your best case scenario is winning one lane.

I’ve been trying it in a deck with Zola to handle that exact issue but I think the real problem is it’s not exactly a build around card.

I just got my rear end handed to me by this: Torch, Carnage, Phoenix Force, Cloak, Hulkbuster, Taskmaster - they got lucky with both Sakaar and Strange Academy but T6 I was looking at this:

Wishing I could go back in time and buy the hitmonkey season for all this move deck wankery but instead I'm struggling to keep my head over water against these HE decks. I've got him pinned so it's only a matter of time and luckily i FINALLY have Luke (only like 3 cards away from S3 complete) so I guess between Thor and Zero I'd probably get more out of Thor/Jane/Jaw/Hazmat (no thanos) but having Zero does enable big numbers from Maw/Sauron/mary/zabu/red skull shenanigans with Zola optionals. I'm leaning towards Zero for consistency, any hot takes?

What if I told you cod is no longer a fish :coolfish:
Phoenix Force will bring back a card that was destroyed by Yondu and locations that destroy cards. I've been using it in my Orka deck more as a revive card to counter things that destroy my cards. Deck is not based around Phoenix Force, it's just a card that does its thing.

Just wait. Chances are low, but maybe, just maybe, we can figure out which reserves are going to turn into caches and you can get the best of both systems.

Hoogland a streamer that does slot of economy analysis says to save for the new spotlight caches

It's probably a bit more nuanced than that though, since this will be the last time you can actually get tokens in bulk from the track.

That makes me wonder if it's best to open every 9 caches I have now, and skip the presumed 10th one in the hopes that they don't gently caress it up and they do retroactively turn to spotlight 🤔

I'll probably hold as this feels like a thing that will launch riddled with bugs.

Also my initial read after trying the Destroy/move decks is they suck. PF probably has a home albeit an underwhelming one in decks that want a second vision for redundancy. Why PF over captian marvel will probably be the main question in deck building.

I've been opening them just because gold/tokens are gonna be worse to get later. Heck, my last cache was 400 tokens

I had a nice surprise, got a mystery variant from a cache and a second variant from rank and neither of them were pixel! ..both were the kid/baby versions of characters, depending on how you feel about them, but it was Thanos and Captain Marvel so I'm pretty happy with those pulls.

This game is infuriating sometimes. I have "the" HE JaneJaw deck and about 40% of games my opening hand is every 5-6 cost in the deck. Then I don't have an opening play until turn 4, which is a Jubilee who predictably pulls Wasp from the deck because why the gently caress wouldn't she..

Yeah I have Wave too just for bounce decks. I don't want to use her too early, she's a T5 play. I guess I might be using a variant of the main deck but my point stands, it really does feel like 9 games out of 10 I start with Infininaut & Friends in my hand.

I might make that change but I have such a rad Jubilee variant.. :( I had America for so long but someone here convinced me to make the Infininaut change. I couldn't get past 90 last season though so maybe that's all the difference.

I can confirm if someone plays Yondu against you, PF can bring back the Yondu’d card.
