Did they remove the boost for when you get to the next rank in sets of 10? I hit 80 but just stayed there. Just in case if I forgot or something I looked at the main screen and it unlocked the season rank award for 80.

I feel like getting past a rank gate (60/70/etc) used to be a brick wall but lately it's been a bot happy to snap on T5 with a 1-2 pt lead.

Legion fuckery is almost always hilarious.

Once had an opponent play a T5 Legion on Luke's Bar while I was playing Destroy. Carnage & Venom wiped out all my cards and promptly yeeted themselves back into my hand.

I had this happen to me in Conquest, then a couple games later in the same match I randomly generated a Legion and turned every location into Luke's Bar on the last turn to mess them up. Sweet revenge.

Opponent just played Hobgoblin onto a lane I had Wong in, and it just stayed there. Shouldn't Wong have sent it back? They :Ms Marveled: as they did it, and I ended up losing the match.

Nah it only works that way when you’re the one dropping Hobgoblin on Wong.

I’ve gotten rare use out of that when peak shows up and I had a goblin in hand.

Further, it says "your On Reveal cards" and the Hobgoblin wasn't yours. Imo "cards you play here" would clear that up better.

She's a good pickup at any time, but if you're playing destroy right now, and everyone else is playing destroy right now, she's gonna be pretty dang good to have. She was one of the very last pool 3 cards I got and it was very annoying.

I was pretty happy to get her and Venom in subsequent caches relatively early in the Season 3 unlock process. You guys weren't kidding about it slowing down pretty hard btw, I'm still getting new cards but it is few and far between.

I opened one spotlight cache this week so far cause I just got to the third one stockpiled and figured I'll probably be most of the way toward earning another before the week is out. If I hadn't done that I think I'd have gotten one new card in the last 7 days.

I'll probably skip next week and earn another then have 4 for X-23/Nebula and Silk week. If I open up those first two first then I won't use anymore and be happy with that.

I posted this picture back when DeathWave with Aero and Leader was THE meta deck. I had also randomly pulled a Sauron when he was a pool 5 but didn't have any of the pieces to make the deck work. Sometimes pool 3 screws you hard.



Time heals all wounds though and now I have most of the cards.

I can't win with anything but Thanos destroy right now but when I win I win big. They somehow never see the Knull into Arnim Zola line coming.

try something like this:



goal is the same, cheat out prof x turn four, if not, use iron lad to try to cheat out a five drop on turn four. vision replaces spiderman on turn five, letting you move eight power anywhere you want to help win another location.

if you have prof x and iron lad on four into vision, you can move the iron lad vision to the location you plan on prof x'ing turn five and that usually will get you that location regardless. can swap out other tech cards as needed, depending on what you're facing.

Between his changes, Spider-man’s nerf, and my sweet new Spotlight variant I finally feel okay about playing the planet eating motherfucker, so I rode Galactus and Kitty-Hot-Location to infinite this month. Too bad it’s a lame card back this time around.

I’m only sad that my second to infinite game was me dropping Goblin and then Galactus into space throne instead of it being my final game to infinite, because that would’ve been the most appropriate.

I usually post decks that are either fun/quick path to infinite or fun/goofy as hell. IDK what this is but I've been having a great time with it recently.




I swapped in Marvel for Groot after the change, and Rogue for Enchantress (more econimical). I haven't had much time to play this week but I'm mid-80s and having fun. I'm trying to keep exactly the same deck up until inf but I may put Legion in somewhere (edit: nvm, this deck relies on small cards and limited plays--it won't work). In my writeup I should have mentioned: never use Rocket or Starlord in early turns as guesses--they're much better when it's predictable like on a Jean or Nebula lane.

Only have Zabu Ink but I think it was a mix of luck (got it apparently at a very low rate) and also I just threw Zabu in pretty much any deck for a while

Yeah, same, of course like anyone I have a destroy and discard deck but they are both missing key cards and have met with middling success, so I rarely play them these days.

Yeah I know I spread mine out, I have one ink and its America Chavez with her fist out, which is rad. I prefer getting them to max and letting the animated background do its thing, or color coordinating the outside with the character. The gold and ink kind of takes away from the picture to me and only works for some of them.

Just watch out the card upgrade only counts once for the quests regardless of how high you push it in one shot

Venom. Carnage if you're in a pinch and need to pump up your Wolverine.

I've found Moon Girl is the deck's secondary win condition, or enabler. Often times, getting a big venom out and Zola'ing him is the main win con - or Knull/Zola - or all three.
