I'm going to guess here that Jeff doesn't have to obey Jean. It wouldn't make sense to make her the singular exception.

I'm also going to predict that Jean will be bugged as poo poo. There's no way they will have tested her enough.


And a gameplay report: quite difficult to rank up this season. My old favourite Moon Girl + She-Hulk deck didn't seem to work, neither did Bounce. I was able to get High Evo Control to 90 today, but it was a slog. Maybe I'll try a Phoenix deck tomorrow for the rest. Phoenix has been winning against me all day so maybe it's just good?
I swept from 70 to Infinite in the first day with Patriot/Ultron and threw in Shadow King as tech, it was pretty breezy. Ended up swapping Cyclops and Shocker for Mr Sinister and Onslaught; I'd include Iron Patriot if I had him.

First game, turn 1 kitty pryde into quantum tunnel hoping for sera, it hits.
Turn 2, sentinel into quantum tunnel hoping for bishop, enchantress comes out and knocks out sera.

Next game, opponent plays turn scarlet witch turn 4 and hits TVA before either of us have set up, they win by 1 point

What a game

Couldn't move phoenix force on turn seven after it copied hulk buster, actually two phoenix forces from whatever the location is that makes a copy of a played card. I'm not sure if this is a hulk buster thing or a turn seven thing though

So every once in a while I'll have a match where the opponent has Daredevil out, I snap turn 5... and then they stay in and make an obviously losing play, only to retreat on 6. I've never understood why, but I think I figured it out: There's probably people out there that don't know you can tap on the facedown cards Daredevil shows you to see what they are.

Neither, it's a Phoenix Force thing. As I've said before and will no doubt need to say again: gaining the ability to move is part of Phoenix Force's OR and comes after the creation of a copy is triggered. So if you copy PF as it comes into play with Sinister London or Bar Sinister, only the original will be able to move.

No. Its OR is "merge with a previously destroyed card and that card gains the ability to move". Thus, no merge, no move.

I guess, the original was also unable to move though

How were you supposed to know that though? His power activates and you see the locations on the board where cards are going, I thought that was the whole point. Nothing tells you "Hey you can tap on these to flip them!" Why would you ever try that?

Edit: I've been trying to see this for myself and in 4 games I haven't gotten DD once..

I played beta and dropped it, then picked it up again in the Fall. To be fair, I have 1 deck that even uses Daredevil, its not like he's been staring me in the face for months.

Whoa. I didn't realize that credits capped out at 10k. Of the cards I use regularly and have variants for I'm simply fine with where they're at visually.

I was already going to ask today if there was any reason to spend/not spend now--but now I have to a bit, I guess. I haven't really been paying attention to Snap's upcoming updates.

Are you seeing that or did you read about it? I've surpassed 10k after they changed the safety net rules earlier this year. It was a former rule to cap at 10k to prevent people from staying in p2 for so long

That's what I was wondering. I wasn't sure if it was a "spend them all while you can" week or "save them for next week" week.

Just to be clear, hje can also see face down cards (like that location where cards aren't revealed), not just the cards that were dropped on that specific turn.

Daredevil is basically Perfect Knowledge Turn 5 and I love him for it

Hi.
I didn’t know that either until it happened by accident after like a week. I didn’t have Uatu at the time. I thought being to see where they played could be a nice advantage by itself.

You have to admit, there are a lot of things about this game that are not spelled out. That can be okay if the concept is clear enough in some other way. Or if there were some “clear enough” rules you could refer to about basic concepts like the ordering of “play” and “reveal” or end of turn stuff so you could make a reasonable guess. But a lot of times, you just need to play it or try things to figure out WTF happens. I mean it’s fine, but it shouldn’t be that way, IMO.
