I didn’t. T3 Electro, T4 Deathlok, T5 Alioth and then Zola on 6

If anyone hasn't figured out how to dominate with Elsa yet - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abH0HhlHcv4

She's stupid powerful.

I've been seeing a ton of Elsa and it's shocking how many points that deck can put on the board. Angela + Elsa on the board plus Kitty is just a lot of points per turn.

She's a 2/8 with minimal support and can quite easily become a 2/OMG with good deck building planning.

I like her because she changes the way you evaluate board space, which changes the game, but she should clearly give a smaller buff or be smaller herself.

She's ridiculously broken. She'd maybe be too strong if she only affected her own location, thats how out of control her current state is.

So what counters Elsa? Loki and Sandman ramp? Maybe Hela Tribunal? The fact she's not ongoing is atrocious, but it at least is in line with SD's p2w philosophy.

Yeah it’s pretty insane

I also keep running into scenarios where my opponent ends up with two of them on the board somehow, whether by location or whatever, and at that point you might as well just retreat

Sandman, Shadow King (but only for one lane), maybe Valkyrie in the other lane? There are limited options.

Time to break out Shadow C3. Or maybe brew a Shadow King & Abs Man combo deck.

Invisible Woman w/Absorbing Man + Killmonger/Shadow King/Shang Chi are killers for Elsa just absolutely demolishing two lanes of Angela/Kitty/Bishop etc. at the end of the game.

I’ve also been finding early played Loki’s rough as well, especially if they get my Luke Cage.

Huh, I’ve been using a decent amount of Bludstun in a bounce deck and she seems a good part card. What’s the deck where she’s going rampant like y’all are saying?

The new main menu has some whistling or something going on. I've been playing on PC with the music volume at like 10% while doing other things and it took me ENTIRELY too long to figure out where that whistling was coming from.. I didn't know if I had a ghost or if my neighbor took up a new hobby.

I have 2 different decks with absurdly low loss rates and I can't decide which I like more, bounce or a more traditional board-filling Forge/Brood/Abs Man build..

Forge/brood/abs man with Elsa just feels unstoppable when it draws well, it's totally ridiculous, I've even been dodging Alioth because if you are using taskmaster on a buffed vision they have no idea which lane you will be playing in

Sometimes I do this when I have a 'win games with a snap' quest, sometimes it makes an opponent retreat earlier.

The poker equivalent to raising pre-flop. They either have their combo in hand already, are bluffing, are doing the Win X Games with a Snap mission, doing Proving Grounds, or loving around.

Once I started playing for ranks my opponents went from cube piñatas to devilishly cunning with their snaps.

So there's a Beast variant where he's got horns and is shooting some green lightning from his hands. All I know about Beast came from the 90s X-men show and Dr. Frasier Crane. What happened to Beast?

I should mention I have read a few Marvel titles but grew up a DC fan. I'm a big MCU fan and am familiar with characters but don't know all the lore - and know even less about the X-Men.

They've done a lot of weird stuff with him since he's been around since day 1 where he was just a big guy on all fours

He's evolved, devolved, cloned, time travelled, basically every plot contrivance you can think of in comics

The horned variant of beast is generally time displaced and insane + mad as hell

What determines whether a card is Ongoing or not? Like why is Elsa Bloodstone not Ongoing since it's a continuous effect she has?

Seems like stat gains are not ongoing unless they are (devil dinosaur). I think they are worried about mystique being broken.

it's ongoing if SD wants the ability to be affected by cards affecting ongoing abilities.

It's not continuous, it's triggered when something happens.

Perhaps. But it's not as simple as putting "ongoing" before it, her ability would have to be rewritten.

Generally, if a card is a 'when' ("When you play a card here, swap it out" - Lockjaw / "When you fill a lane" - Elsa), it's not an ongoing.

When it's a "while" or a continuously updated calculation ("while this is in a lane, other cards there have +1" - Captain America / "Has +2 power for every card in your hand" - Devil Dino), it's an Ongoing.

We have On Reveal, and Ongoing, not having one for a triggered ability seems like a mistake.
