Does she really help much in a Negative deck?

I think both Galactus and alioth should do their effects at end of turn

I think Galactus is great where he is, it's when paired with Alioth that things are awful. Changing Ali to "always reveals last" would make that combo much easier to go against.

I only saw Galactus on a game where I was given a bunch of 6 cost units. Following that up with a 44 power Knull was the second funniest thing I have accomplished in my short stint with this game.

Just check the datamined bundles and see if buying the good variant will compromise any of those buys

If they ever nerf Silver Surfer to 3/1, Ravonna will instantly become a broken card.

They hinted at this in a team answer earlier, but I still think that just makes her a cheap + worse Sera.

I'm winning with Ravonna right now but I think it's more due to the fact that I'm playing C3 than the power level of the card. Iron Man Mystique on 6 is incredibly sweet though.

At 2 energy she still affects fewer cards than zabu and without the turn 3 curve working as well. They can definitely afford to give her that much

I managed to pull Ravonna almost right away after she went up, but I haven't messed with her yet. I'm hoping she gets a quick buff as I really want to like her. I'm only a couple ranks from Infinite and will probably start messing around with her when I cross the line.

Ravonna would be really really good at 2/3, main problems with her being 3/3 is you’re losing tempo plus there’s a bunch of 3 costs that are very good to get out on 3, and cost reduction is always more powerful the earlier you can get it out

Do the buff second dinner

Some of them actually look decent. The problem is that there is no cohesive style whatsoever and generally the animations are pretty bad.

i've never upgraded a pixel variant to the point where it gets animations and kind of forgot that it was a thing that art would have to do

Some of the pixels look decent at regular card size and just look bad in the full size preview, but on the whole they're pretty lame compared to both other variants and to other pixel art.

I picked up Hipp Scarlet Witch. The others in my shop I already have solid variants for, but its nice to see Hipp getting the recognition he deserves.

It was probably discussed a long time ago, but I was watching Teen Titans Go! the other day and realized that Dan Hipp is the Art Director on that show and it all makes sense now.

Extremely funny fact: if you have a full lane opposite their Jean Grey, and a way to move a card out of that lane during turn setup, you can play a card in another lane first and THEN move the card. (If you try to move then play, it'll block you, you have to play while your Jean lane is blocked and then move.)

Opponent was not expecting that.

I give up, game.. you have beaten me. I have lived long enough to see myself become the villain. But surely this must be a sign.



I made it to 93 only to get beaten down to 84 over the course of the last week or so. Nothing I try works. I have run through every top meta deck and have lost multiple games in a row over the past several days. I said I would never do this. But at this point, I don't see that I have any other choice. Forgive me everyone.

Wait I thought Galactus/Alioth ramp was extremely good right now? Like if they get their Galactus off on turn 4/5 and I don't take priority, it's an auto-retreat

I've played countless decks that rely on me getting a specific card to get things rolling - Shuri, Collector, Modok, Patriot, something like that - and in so many games you never find that one card you need. I've played 7 Galactus games this morning and he's been in my starting hand EVERY SINGLE TIME. No wonder you clowns have no problem getting the combo to work, he magically appears in your hand no matter what.

Knull Death decks make it more likely to have a big Turn 6, or if they don’t show up, hopefully you’ve powered up Deadpool via Forge/Hulk Buster. And with some luck with X23 and locations, maybe you get to play all of them.
