Negative Decks are the one deck type I avoid. Not that I cannot navigate it, but either Mr. Negative never shows up on time or the best cards for Mr. Negative are already in my hand. I have the worst luck with it.

Typically it's Mr negative is plan a and bast is plan b and you do the best you can. In a world with Alioth and mmm you aren't going to be very happy very often though

Is the forge 'nerf' not a substantial buff to the degenerate kitty bounce decks? Also for stuff like beast/falcon

wyoak posted:Alioth nerf seems substantial, Jeff ties him and he loses to Captain Marvel, Silk, and Doombots, and if you’ve got prio Colossus ties and Armor + basically anything wins It's better than nothing, but most people play Alioth with priority. The card could be a 6/0 and would still be massively overtuned, similar to how Galactus was when he was a 6/2 before his current stipulation was added. But that's standard for Second Dinner, and people will complain about the card for the next 3 or 4 months until it reaches its final form.

Also, someone help me. These youtubers are making me consider spending tokens on Man Thing, and I only have just enough. The only other S4 card I'm even mildly interested in is Master Mold, and I don't know if it's worth it for me to hoard for an S5.

Luke only works if you draw him, and half of High Evo's poo poo is getting power cranked up for not soaking all your energy anyway. I'm sick of losing to Xavier in one lane because I don't own Jeff and a 20 power Hulk in the other, or to all my cards being useless because Luke didn't draw.

Rule of thumb: Save your tokens for cards you really, really, really, really want. Spending a spotlight to gamble on a card you think is fun is good, because your approach to this game should be to have fun. If a spotlight has Ravonna and you plan to play a lot of decks that will use her, or/and you like the character, go hog wild. Don't get a card because you heard it's meta or you think you're supposed to unless you're that kind of player, I guess. Disclaimer: Always get Jeff if you don't have him, he loving rules

It's not worth it. I only target cards that look fun for me. I bought Loki because he's another bit of consistency for Agatha, and I really enjoy memeing with Agatha. Man Thing looks fun, but I'm just not sure how much I would enjoy using him. Unlike Ghost Spider who fits into at least 3 decks, and I have another I want to build for her.

The only reason I have 3,000 is because I bought the last 2 Token Tuesday's. But now I'm out of gold. Spotlights are a very large part of why I quit this game for 4 months.

If it was up to me, I would handle series drops as follows. All season pass cards should eventually drop to Series 3. Let's say, three months after their release. They are obviously designed to be more impactful than the average new weekly card releases, and this would give a fair access to them to all players. No other cards would drop to Series 3. All new cards should be released to Series 5. In return, older Series 5 cards would eventually be dropped to Series 4 with few exceptions like the big bads. This should be done in a way that Series 4 and 5 always have an approximately equal number of cards between them.

Okay, here's an edge case that annoyed me. If the opponent plays Shuri, then you Alioth their next card on the Shuri lane, it's as if they never played a card that was Shuri'd. And thus, on the followingturn, the opponent's card there still gets double points. Man, I calculated everything perfectly too, and assuming the Shuri doubling didn't happen, would have won by 1 on the middle and by 6 on the right.

I have the She Hulk, Dr. Doom and Professor X Midnight Sun's variants in my shop and the new feature to be able to preview upgrades is not making it easy to resist these cards. I'm sitting on over 11k gold as I tend to never buy variants and save up gold in between / for larger bundles. They might get me on some of these, though.

I bought the Galactus one because I didnt have a variant for him yet and the Midnight Suns one is so good. Was tempted by Doom also but I think I'll try get the Hellfire Gala one for him instead. I also opened Dan Hipp Black Widow on the day she got buffed, big sign to play Junk decks!

You could still feature Series 4 and 5 in Spotlights, and it would feel much better to just randomly roll a Stature or Knull or whatever.

Joink posted:The card was played, I get what your saying but revealed and played are two different things and the text for Shuri should actually be changed to "If you reveal your next card at this location, double its Power." The problem is that "played" means "added from hand with energy and revealed", Alioth specifically has to have extra text to make it clear it also works on unrevealed cards. Leader should technically have that same text, because I bet if through Raft chicanery you played Leader and Alioth in the same turn you would first copy their played, unrevealed card and then destroy it. It's clumsy language though and should have specific terms like Placed vs. Played to make exactly this kind of poo poo with Shuri more obvious.
