It pulls a random enemy card from any location? That seems a lot weaker.

I’ve been using him all day, he abducts a card from the lane you play him in and takes it with him when he moves. He can take face down cards. It’s cracked. I ruined a Hela Tribunal player’s day by stealing invisible woman on turn 5.

Looks like the new pay to win ratio is 1.25 credits for 1.00 gold on the upgrade screen. I don't know what the daily limit is because I ain't buying that.

That's not new, you could always buy credits for gold at a 5:4 ratio in the store and this just cuts out the middleman. The change is that a booster is now valued at 5 credits, as you have to pay 4 gold per missing booster as well.

Ultimately, though, it's the exact same as pushing you towards Fast Upgrades to waste your new account credit bonanza - they want you to waste a precious and limited resource so that you'll spend more to catch up.

I mean who actually cares about being able to pay gold for card upgrades?

It doesn’t affect gameplay in any meaningful way and is the accepted “good example of MTX.”

It’s definitely quasi pay-to-win. You can get away with not paying money and you’ll be fine though, but only after slogging through most of the S3 cards. The new cards have not been broken, meta-defining since Silver Surfer/Zabu

Deck I’ve been having fun with in general, and especially with today’s hot location. Phoenix is definitely not required, I’ve run anything from Cosmo to Sunspot in that slot depending on the meta I’m seeing, PF is just in there because of the weekend mission.

Your ideal game is Magic-Shuri-Nimrod and then you have lots of options for turns 6/7 depending on what you’re playing into. (You’re never playing before turn 3 in this, and often not before 4.)

If you play Spider-Man onto Angela onto Kamar-Taj, and if he lands back where he started on his second swing, he'll trigger Angela twice. I dunno how to utilize that information.

I guess there are people who have tons of gold that they don't want to spend on variants because they have all the variants they want so it just builds up, so giving them the ability to spend that on upgrades makes sense.

But thats real steep though. I can't remember last time i spent any gold, not since i realized I had 9k and decided to go on a buying spree of variants.

I like watching Spider-Man swing himself into the Danger Room and die but the card he dragged over doesn't get blown up.

Its possible, I was playing my HE deck and playing Misty knight and wasp on Cloaning Vats only gave me a Misty Knight in my hand, no Wasp. I also had Cyclops only triggering 2 of 3 turns when he was on the field with energy.

after how some of these other cards were released *cough cough* jean grey *cough cough* that doesn't surprise me. i also saw a bot move cards from big house into strange academy without using a cloak, stones, etc. before watching them get eaten by carnage and then moved right back into the same big house location as well.

I have a wishlist of variants a mile long (Hipp Ronan, baby Nightcrawler, pixel Lizard, pixel Shocker, numerous Zolas, Peach Thor, etc.), but the shop is always full of garbage. I seem to have a different Knull there every day.

There's some good lockdown decks with Prof X, Claw, and such that aim to make it seem like they are misplaying or behind on lanes and then Spectrum is one way to pull out a final turn win.

I already have a pretty cool looking Knull, the Kim Jacinto one.

I do like how Knull looks in game, in Future Fight he just looks like a guy with pale skin and white hair, so basically Matt Smith in House of the Dragon, but here he actually looks like some kind of creepy monster, which is more fitting. I have not read any comics involving him so I'm not sure how he's meant to be drawn.

You know, i always get annoyed by people who do some cheap, easy win combo at the end an want to fist bump. No, that is not for when you play shang-chi and killmonger in turn 6 and clear almost my whole board, or when dracula discards the infinaut at the end of the game. That is not GG.

Seems alright, but it's a pretty simple card, with both discard and destruction already having competing 3-cost stuff. It's not bad, but it's not gonna blow up the meta from the looks of it.

He's interesting. I don't know if he's good or bad yet because I don't play much destroy. I tried him in a discard shell and he was ok, and I tried him in Surfer and he was meh. The problem I kept running into is that if you bump his stats at all he just becomes Shang-Chi fodder. I kept running into Sera decks and he just kept getting popped in the mouth.

He’s 3/8 after his shard gets destroyed/discarded, not 9 power.

Yes. Which is why if you bump his stats at all then he hits 9 power.

I immediately started using a shuri/kitty deck when I saw the hot location. Had a few games where kitty easily got over 100 power. Was getting tons of 4 cube wins.

Switched over to the Sauron deck you posted which was also great fun.

I didn't reach infinite since my play time was limited, but I easily cruised from around 74 to 93.

heimdall weirdly feels stronger outside of a move shell than in one - whenever i see someone drop kraven, multiple man etc i know to stick prof x in mid or legion the fisk tower that happened to flip over or whatever to shut it off completely but in an otherwise unrelated shell that turn 6 swerve really comes out of nowhere. galactus i think is more frustrating because it feels like they are playing a completely different game to you, heimdall you are at least still competing on 3 lanes. that said my most recent galactus win i couldnt even be mad at - turn 5 they played psylocke, then turn 6 they played a 1 drop to disable morags effect and then galactus under morag for an easy win lol
