Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?
I seriously can't find anything other than mirror matches that they claim aren't a thing. Every time I change a deck I'm playing against the same loving thing.

It's been really bad this weekend because everyone is playing some variation of a Devil Dino or Destroy deck

It's ridiculous I misread a Bro 5 deck recently and first 3 matches were all Bro 5. Never seen one before

I pretty well am tired of the weekend missions for exactly this reason; they cut down on the hot and featured locations because everything boiled down to "play the deck or counter the deck" every time, and this just does the same thing for the entire weekend. I generally prefer playing Snap during the week. I am glad they at least sort of seemed to realized this and have been picking a wildcard like Devil Dino as part of the PC launch so that it's two decks instead of just one.

It's some version of the Move Legion deck which is very popular right now.

The version they talk about on Snap Zone is-

1 Kitty Pryde
2 Angela
2 Kraven
2 Jeff
2 Silk
3 Spider-Man
4 Shang-Chi
4 Captain Marvel
4 Miles Morales
5 Legion
5 Vision
6 America Chavez

Is that the one that's based around Forge-ing (with his new +3 on reveal) a Brood, then next turn Absorbing Man-ing the Brood? Then, ideally, T5 Magik (and , Idk, Armor?) , t6 Patriot and Mystique, and T7 Wong and SS?

Again... perfectly ideal conditions. But yeah, I've played that off and an recently and it's ok... sometimes you don't have AM in time but you can always T7 SS then AM for the same basic effect as Wong and SS.

I like the version that doesn't use Wong or Magik, but yes.

Yeah I use Aero for the same statline and a different kind of "gently caress you" because Aero still surprises a lot of people, but she's not the same at all.

The first level of cards looks listless without 3-D and/or animation imo. I think ink looks best all blue bordered (it's got a nice, cool tone when you do the whole deck up that way) or red bordered if you want the animations and fancy logos too (and the red/black/white Sin City effect).

I don't play anything that doesn't have at least a blue border unless it's a brand brand new card. Usually I try to rock all infinite decks if I can.

For inks, I like to make it match or at least be complementary to the character logo! I have Storm with blue border, Daredevil and Professor X with gold border (both of these can be red but the gold looks nice), getting Spidey to a red one when I have enough boosters, same with infinite for Galactus...

Checking back in on Marvel Snap, just in time to get the Dino Mech avatar. Had a ton of unspent gold, got a few new cards including X-23.

I am a bit surprised that my old decks still mostly work? Is that because I was dropped back into the wood league, or has the meta stayed pretty much the same since the beginning of the year?

Leech is a strong turn 5 when you still got turns 6 and 7 ahead of you. He was a pretty bad turn 5 with just one turn left

It's interesting to see who they've picked as "big bads" so far, with Thanos, Galactus, Kang and High Evolutionary, some of that will have been tapping into some of the hype with Ant Man 3 and Guardians of the Galaxy 3 I assume (High Evo definitely came out with the latter, cause even though I wasn't playing I remember hearing rumblings about him just in gaming news or whatever).

I'm curious what the next one will be though, Loki is the Season pass card for September, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Apocalypse and Ultron are characters I'd think of as "big bads" in the Marvel comics but obviously they've used them already now. Then there's not really any big threats on the horizon in the films that they could lean on either, or just any films in general other than Marvels coming out.

Nearly all of the classic Thunderbolts are missing so I could see Baron Zemo headlining a Thunderbolts thing for a couple months, maybe he'd be the big bad card and then two of the other Thunderbolts would be season pass cards for those respective months, the rest would be distributed like cards are now, spotlight weeklies or tokens. However they'd all come as their villain personas by default but if you have Baron Zemo in the deck then at the start of game you get to pick whether they stay as villains or switch to their heroic personas instead with different effects. So for example you get Baron Zemo and Moonstone and Fixer or Citizen V, Meteorite and Techno if you switch. That feels like it could be a cool enough gimmick to be worth a big bad, make people want him, create a couple new archetypes..... and also be extremely power creepy if they wanna go that route.

A lot of these decks are also running magik to make it a 7 turn game that the other player can't do anything about unless they top deck exactly storm/legion or whatever on 6

Only works if they didn't hold magik til 5 and you don't have prio and don't pick the lane they magiked. I guess they'd have to cheat leech out to magik on 5 tho

Would it be too game-breaking to have some cards change a location into a specific place?

Like, imagine if they created a card for Space Phantom who would, On Reveal, change the location to Deep Space. Or, Moira MacTaggert turned some place into Muir Island. Et cetera. Would the potential combo with Legion be too broken?

They've said they don't like to do that too often because it makes games too samey.
