Dan Hipp has almost no bad variants. His artstyle suits the colorful goofiness of the Marvel brand very well.

What is the optimal way to spend gold? I have been buying missions with it, but now I’m getting closer to pool 3 completion should I buy bundles/tokens instead?

Is the token tuesday bundle worth it?

Token Tuesday of late has been a non-optimal way of getting tokens. Better to save gold and hold it for the every-other-month or so bundle that has a great gold to tokens ratio.

You shouldn’t be spending gold at all if your goal is to use it to get S4/5 cards. Unfortunately you should be sitting on it for uncomfortably long periods of time. If you do want to spend gold, daily missions are the best bang for your buck.

I pulled Spiderman 2099 this week, but I'm genuinely not sure what to do with him.

they need to redo him, he's pretty dookie at the moment. maybe something like play him on x location, and he takes two random cards from the opponent on the other two locations and smashes them together, blowing them both up. keeps the move theme with the other spider cards, still gets a lovely rng factor, and he'd be used a lot more.

How do I set what my default deck is on Snap (PC if that makes a difference)? I feel like every time I log in it's a different deck, so my first game of the day is almost always an early retreat. I tried shuffling the decks around in order, or logging out with specific decks highlighted....

This is a known issue both on PC and mobile. For some reason, on launch the game defaults to selecting the deck in one specific slot - I think it's slot 7. Nobody knows why. Just keep an eye on it.

I think I'm a doctor, but that doesn't make me a doctor. This fancy avatar does.
Apparently the new location (Yashida base) is either not working as intended/has bugs or it's another weird card/location interaction that has to do with their complete lack of REAL "key words".

The wording is
"At the end of the game, destroy the last card to get here."

Not "Played", which has a (more or less) solid definition. Not moved...not added.
"to get."

If I were to play Magento on T6, he flips, then pulls in one of your cards, who do you think qualifies as the "last to get here" and will get destroyed?
It's Magneto. Because his "On Reveal" is still resolving, so he doesn't officially "get there' until the moves he does are complete, so he is considered the last to get there, not the card he moved.

Ok, next scenario. I have priority, and I play a Nimrod there WANTING it to get destroyed, and you play a Doctor Doom on another location, who then adds a Doom Bot but after I played Nimrod, but you didn't PLAY him, he was added?
The Doom Bot dies. My Nimrod is totally resolved before the Doom Bot gets there, so it is the last.

Third scenario:
I play Brood as the last card there, you play nothing. Does the initial Brood get destroyed, or the second Broodling that was created?
Second Broodling.


And then there's scenarios I'm not sure of, like I Killmonger on T6 in Yashida, but you (or even I) have an X-23 that dies and regenerates there...is she the last one to get there, or is it my Killmonger? Haven't run into that yet.

Edit: Although I'll say regardless of how it functions, it is HILARIOUS to play Legion on it on T6/7.

I played Nimrod on a non-Yashida lane T5, killed it T6 and then it died again at the end of the game because it "got" to Yashida last. In that instance at least it seemed to work as advertised.

(Can't remember who had priority or if my opponent even played there T6)

In the X-23 scenario, if she regenerates onto Yashida as the last card to arrive she will then be destroyed and regenerate elsewhere. But I had her regenerate there on T5 and opponent played nothing there T6, so I'm not sure if that holds true on T6 in your Killmonger example.

Oh neat, and yeah I do remember seeing other people play those Killmonger and Collector variants.

I don't think I've seen that Viper one, and that seems to be it for the "B+W+one other color" versions from that artist.

And I've seen/own several more from that artist, but I was hoping there were more cards I actively play in that one-color style.

You haven’t seen the Viper one because that’s Mantis, not Viper.

I saw the green and assumed Viper, but either way don't think I've seen it. Still looks cool.

So I guess in the case of Polaris, Aero, or Magneto... it would still work the say it does now? Because everything I'm seeing on the subreddit is that "the card isn't officially THERE until it's 100% done it's On Reveal ability" so the cards they move are DURING their On-Reveal, then they finish and are finally "at" Yashida, and they arrive after the cards the moved, so get blown up?

Edit: V V V yeah, after the change to Cable from "bottom card in the deck" to "next card in the deck," she's a 1 energy but much less reliable version of him. V V V

I assume this is like many similar games where bundles and season pass cosmetics never become available ever again right? There's quite a few cards where the best/only good variant is a bundle or season pass one. Really wish I'd started playing the game a month earlier at least, the Collector and Nebula variants were pretty sweet and while Star Lord isn't great, I've always loved that costume from the first run of the revamped Guardians of the Galaxy as well.

The exception is that they have been re-releasing Beta variants as $9.99 bundles for people who really want the look. But those are one time only and I can't remember whether we've run out.

So while they certainly aren't going to let us know that re-releases are coming to stoke the FOMO purchasing, it's likely that at some point when the player base is bigger again, they'll revisit old variants.

This order of operations really sucks. It'd be a fun zone to screw with your opponent if it killed whatever visually arrives there last
