FFS I just wasted a spotlight cache on Modok... The accidental spotlight tap protection can't come soon enough.

Like, getting him for the first time? Or a variant? He's a good card to have.

Got him for the first time. I don't mind having him as a card but I was in no hurry to get him. Would prefer to use spotlights on cards I do want.

Haha, when did they add a fastforward feature when the animations last too long?

I trigger it with a Deadpool Zola combine on the flood the lane with copies card. With carnage and deathlok in the other lanes. I have no idea what happened, but I ended up with 1 card in each lane and a handful of 48 power Deadpools.

Only thing I have left to get this season is the awful wolverine variant but I'm not really that motivated to bother

I'm going to get the wolverine variant but I'm probably going to keep using my pixel wolverine just because I never see anyone else use it.

modok is a good card... i would've have loved to get any card instead of this shitnebula variant. it's awful as sandwolf has noted. let us at least pick among some cards / choices for one of the spotlights jesus this system is bad.

I'm missing these S4 cards:

Mirage
MODOK
Snowguard
Spider-man 2099
Stegron

just hit 3100 tokens, should I spring for MODOK or wait for future S4 releases?

MODOK is the best of those but none of them are great

Unless you really play discard a lot he�s not a must-buy

Mirage is really good but you can live without her. MODOK is mandatory if you're playing discard. The other 3 are meh at best. In your shoes I'd probably save up for Mobius or Ravonna.

Unless you really, really, really want to play discard, don't.

Wait and get it when it's in another spotlight.

at the rate they're recycling cards in the spotlights, it'll likely come back pretty soon (tm).

appreciate the replies. I'm not huge on discard so I'll hold off on MODOK for now.

I had to filter out a list of >1 cost, <=1 power cards and to my surprise there are 26, and 9 more unreleased / cannot include in decks.

Wish there was a way to block cards from ever being upgraded. I will never upgrade a stupid pixel variant. Unless I�m building a troll deck with nothing but pixels.

You�re shooting yourself in the foot if you don�t at least upgrade every grey card once.

You just don't click the sequence of buttons required to upgrade a card, I think

My first conquest match after asking had it and I immediately made the wrong conclusion.

I think I'm the only person on the planet that doesn't mind pixels. I don't like ALL of them, but I'll use any variant over the base card. Some of them aren't bad. Cyclops is solid, Yondu is good, but Silver Surfer is my favorite.

Hello fellow pixel person! I'm the same. I like most of the pixel variants, some of them are even among my favorite variants overall. There's bad apples for sure, and I wish they'd try a little harder with the animations, some of the animated ones are just terrible, and others are just plain terrible overall. (Agent Coulson, looking at you.) Abomination looks like the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Black Panther and Yondu are awesome.

Black Panther is a good one too, but I got his baby version and it's too good not to use.

Yeah individual pixels are fine or even good � if they were all consistent like they were from the same fictional video game I�d probably have no qualms at all even if some of the individual quality was lower.

Have 5 energy on turn 3 because of the Altar of Death hot location. Drop Sera. X-Mansion triggers at end of turn and gives me Mystique first, which copies Sera. Guess what card my opponent gets? Enchantress. Yeah ok, I�m done for today.

Always assume X Mansion will screw you over. I feel like I�ve gotten MODOK out of there at least half a dozen times.
