It's time....for the MAIN event!
I'm wondering if Rock Slide has a place in Surfer Decks now, Korg too. Use them as disruption, and fit Darkhawk in there with the rest dedicated to the surfer subtype. Gives Absorbing Man another target if it can't hit Brood or Surfer. Could be strong.

I've seen YouTubers already complaining about this ruining Legion but the only reason I use him is to disrupt my opponent's Limbo. I've gotten SO MANY WINS from that. This changes nothing for me.

I got absolutely loving railed today by a Darkhawk/Mystique/Wong/Rock Slide/Korg/Odin deck

- Darkhawk in one lane, and Mystique in another to copy him
- Third lane with Wong, Korg, Rock Slide, and Odin

I sat there for like an hour eating rocks as Darkhawk and Mystique just ballooned.

Holy poo poo was it brutal. I had a Rogue that tried to take the effect away from one of those lanes, but the other two ran so well it didn't matter.

IIRC

T1: Korg
T2: Zabu
T3: Magik
T4: Darkhawk
T5-6: Mystique, Wong and Rock Slide
T7: Odin

If I managed to get Rogue to nail Zabu early, they'd just retreat.

I think their alternate win condition was to have both Thors which worked well, too

Having been away and coming back, it seems that you don't get new cards anymore. Instead, you get frequent balance changes. Rockslide is brand new! He fits in C3 and Surfer decks now! Captain Marvel is still weird and useless again! C5 can exist!

gently caress new cards, play with these new cards Instead.

I've heard it's better to stop at certain collector levels for a bit so you don't queue into the next tier of decks until you have enough to unlock a bunch fo cards at once. Which level should i stop at in series 2?

That's no longer true. You get kicked into the deep end when you earn enough credits to get you where you could level up into s3 turf.

As a fellow C5 enjoyer, have you tried Forge-Brood-Abs Man yet? I'm wondering how well it works.

I'm thinking:

Forge
Luke Cage
Lizard
Cerebro
Mystique
Brood
Spider-Man
Abs Man
Doom

I'd have to actually look at my collection for the rest. It's a shame they nerfed Nimrod. It was a great combo with Deathlok.

Could also throw in Zabu, so you could forge him and enable Stegron and Abs Man easier. I don't know if its worth using Mystique in C5 simply due to costs, but maybe with Brood/Abs it is because you get so much value from that. Also makes everything weak to Shang-Chi

Gotta get Silk and Medusa in there if you're doing C5.

Have Medusa, of course, but not Silk. I took Cage out for Zabu and threw in Omega Red and Enchantress and Morales. I'm not sold on Mystique, but C5 is so feast or famine anyway.

You don't actually need Mystique in C5 and in fact she can be a detriment because she puts you into Shang range. A couple of lanes with 28 power is more than good enough.

ANIME IS FOR ADULTS
Polaris, Silk, and Spider-Man make it easy to proc Miles in a C5 deck. No reason not to include all of them.

I tried using Forge, Brood and Sinister + Absorbing Man, but if you don’t draw Forge you could end up with a clogged hand and no good plays. It’s nice when it works though.

The cold never bothered me anyway~
Doom nerf being reverted means I will now consider spending money again in the future instead of stubbornly refusing to ever even buy a season pass ever again.

Also, Legion is loving busted, I'm calling it. He needs either a complete rework into like a 3-location Scarlet Witch, or he needs to only affect one other (random) location with the copy maneuver. There is nothing like getting Legion'd out of nowhere turn 6 on a game you were going to win and not being able to do anything to prepare for it at all, and it's happening more and more. He's not as bad as old Aero in that regard but he's not that far off, and much like Aero he requires no investment or synergy to wreak havoc. You just slot him into any deck and he gets work done.

Looks like 2800 gold bundles with mostly summer variants and normal amount of credits for September.

As a youth I prayed, "Give me chastity and continence, but not yet."
There's a lower cost gold bundle at the end of the month that is apparently ok value.



If you buy the Emergency Pirate Outfit bundle for 20 real $ just before that one, you'll get enough gold to buy the smaller one.

Any final opinions on Daken before the season pass changes? I've held off buying it because he doesn't seem like a super effective card, it seems like it takes way too much work to make him a threat.
