Basically cheesed it with HE Lockdown for a few levels and crawled my way up on retreats. No shame. Ham was a late addition over Sunspot, decided knocking out a card was better than a few power in a location for the purposes of finishing the climb. The deck will forever carry the new card back.



Heck yeah, congrats!

And also thank you for posting the deck. I made it to 94 a few days ago and was getting a little tired of playing Bounce. Switched back to HE Lockdown, updating my deck to the version you posted, and also hit Infinite with it.

And yeah, always happy to help with a fun build. Even though it's not entirely original, some of the more popular builds don't necessarily work for everyone.

Congoontulations, and same. I really slow rolled this season and played almost nothing but ShuriRod on ladder outside of a very few games for missions that I didn’t feel like going to conquest for. Something about calculating where and how much of Nimrod’s power will end up on T6 seems to fly by a lot of opponents. When I started playing this deck a lot last season I pretty much never saw it but I’ve seen a lot of mirrors/near mirrors lately which is almost the only thing Knull is in the deck for; usually Shuri->Nimrod->Carnage/Venom is the pure win condition with an ideal Nova:Bucky/Wolverine drop in the first three turns. Destroyer and Zola don’t do a lot but are there as a side hustle with Electro sometimes when it’s all you’ve got to go with.

I appreciate this post because Lockdown never occurred to me.

Been literally waffling 93 to 88 and back SEVEN TIMES now using Sera Control, Phoenix Nimrod, and a few other things. Can’t crack 93.

Took this damage control method here and stop trying to win and starting bullying people out of games for 2-4 cubes each. Sitting at 95 now.

It's gross. Knull has already been out for six months. He should have been in P3 two months ago. Despite monkey business keeping him out of that pool, a huge chunk of the player base has him because he's a good card and has been P4 for a long time. Putting him in spotlights, repeatedly, when he's already such a dead draw is player hostile in a way that's become the norm since May.

The most that can be said of it is that Knull fits with August's destroy theme.

I opened my Knull this week. I haven't played him, but he's certainly been around a lot lately and my Spider-Ham has been doing work.

i think the problem with working out where the other person's nimrod(s) will end up is you cant really. unless you have already seen them drop carnage, venom and deathlok already they can absolutely alley-oop a copy back into the original lane. i have also been running invisible woman to hide killmonger behind for kitty pride/nebula/sunspot surprises and you can use her as a reservoir to hold an extra destroy for nimrod as well, if you draw them all but not shuri

Yes I believe so. In addition to that, in Proving Grounds and Silver they also match based on your collection level. If there's collection level matchmaking in Gold and Infinite it's very loose.

they are worse than the older token tuesdays - given how scarce gold is now, i wouldn't grab it. instead, wait for one of those big gold bundles similar to the black panther one to get a better bang for your buck. the problem is, they seem to be getting rarer; don't think there's another good bundle datamined yet for the same value?

There's a visual bug. People were remarking on it last week. Don't worry though, there's been an official statement that progress will never reset until the bar is full. So if it does, report a bug.

The new Conquest "event" (if you can call it that) is fine, no major complaints, it's free medals for what I was going to do anyway.

BUT...visually, tapping into that "news" event is terrible because the back arrow is at the TOP of the screen. All other screens, I can navigate via the BOTTOM of the screen. Like...other "News" items on the main screen have a little red 'X' at the bottom.

My cynical assumption is that this event was very recently conceived as a band aid and there was no time to make it an actual part of the game.

It doesn't have a PC client at all - the Steam version is just the Android client running in a shell. Hints suggest that the native PC client with widescreen support is coming next month.

If it's just emulating the Android client then it's weird that it can't do things like display the news or inbox tabs. I'm not a software developer though so maybe there's a good reason.

More or less same for me, wanted iron lad and got him third cache, decided to get echo as my last pull.
Somehow I got three cards and a variant and don't feel great about it.
It's amazing that they thought this was a good direction to go in, because at least for me it's not very good

Yeah I got pretty lucky there, pulled master mold which I was planning on trying to get when his spotlight came up down the road.
I'm happy about getting master mold, but it feels also like I lost access to the new card that will be coming out the week he is in the spotlight. So a mixed bag of feelings on that one

Mirage is going to be straight to series 4, so that might be a good week to skip and use tokens anyway. Unless you're still looking to pull Thanos that is.

Emulation unfortunately shares a realm with 'modifying the client' which most would consider cheating, hacking, etc.

Its heavily discouraged to the point of 'sabotage' depending on ur viewpoint

Feel like I got lucky on this spotlight cache as well with the mystery card. I didn't have Iron Lad or Kang, and the first cache I opened gave me Living Tribunal. While maybe not a great card right now, at least it was one I didn't have, and it meant I got 4 new cards out of this week's spotlights.
