How important are cards like Mobius and Snowguard to Loki decks? I'm wondering if it's worth saving up for that week or waiting for the Jeff week since he's such a versatile card. Nico looks fun, but I only have two spotlight caches, so I'd rather wait for a high impact card.

I'm wondering if it's worth saving up for that week or waiting for the Jeff week since he's such a versatile card. i think snowguard is quite good in a loki deck... esp. now that nico is out. one cost card that gives you two extra cards to loki, and also is a very cheap activator for nico as well. still early days on nico testing but she seems to be received pretty positively... def. some rng there but also a lot of good value (drawing cards, powering up other cards, creating a second copy of a card, etc." if you can i'd be grabbing her. i expect her to stick around for a bit.

FlamingLiberal posted:Snowguard isn’t that important. Mobius is, because if your opponent plays Mobius then you lose the discount from Loki In that scenario though, having your own Mobius would not re-enable the discount from Loki. Once they have a Mobius on the board, your discount is gone unless you Enchantress or Rogue their Mobius.

DrBouvenstein posted:Is Man-Thing worth 3000 Tokens? I've got like 3500 and I'm guessing there aren't going to be very many new cards released that are actually at Series 4? It's just not worth it to try and save up 6000 tokens, easier/quicker to save up the Spotlight Caches. Yeah, it depends on your collection though. If you're close to being series 4 complete, I'd just buy these cards to do that. If you're not, it depends on what else you could get. But yeah, I wouldn't save up tokens for s5 cards.

Protip: playing Odin on Nico will cause her spell to retrigger on Odin rather than the next card you play, presumably because Odin is not "finished" "playing" until the retriggers complete.

obi_ant posted:Can someone explain to me top deck and bottom deck? I thought it was all random. I should probably know this considering I’m like almost ranked 90… Your deck gets randomized, but the game still simulates a virtual deck with a specific order. They did this, as opposed to just keeping all cards in a set and drawing one at random each time, so they could have effects that specifically target top and/or bottom cards. It's also notable that effects that add cards to your deck generally also shuffle your deck, so cards that started at the bottom (i.e. Chavez) don't necessarily stay there.

Sandwolf posted:No because about 90% of decks run Luke Cage rn, they also run Mobius so no cheating out Aboms with it. It’s an incredibly cool card but this meta basically stifles anything that’s cool in exchange for 6 tech cards, Elsa, and Kitty Pryde Eh. I’ve been making good use of it - with the prevalence of Elsa/Kitty decks that want to have a ton of low drops on board, it can do a lot of damage. I don’t see Luke that often, really. (Just make sure to run Rogue or Enchantress to turn off their LC if they have one.)

Yep, On Reveals always resolves before a card counts as Played, even if they were triggered after "playing" the card. They really ought to rename their Played conditional, as it doesn't align intuitively with game mechanics. Something more like MTGs Enter The Battlefield but maybe less wordy.

If you play a Hulkbuster on card copy Nico she'll drop a 1/7 Nico in your hand that starts cycling again. Same with Phoenix Force on a destroyed card copy Nico. On a related note: lmao

Hobo Clown posted:I think "top deck" just means the card on the top of your draw deck (i.e. the next card you would have pulled) and "bottom deck" means the opposite. It's still random-ish since the top could be any card in your deck (except Chavez). uXs posted:Your deck gets randomized, but the game still simulates a virtual deck with a specific order. Got it, I was asking because I was wondering what is the importance / significance of "After you play a card here this turn, destroy the top card of your opponent’s deck.".

CJ posted:I have 5 spotlight caches now. What should i spend them on in the coming weeks? The only 4/5 cars i have are Mobius, HE, Negasonic and Kang. In terms of 'essential' S4/5 cards, Alioth and Knull coming up week after next are good but NTW features again, so a bit risky because you've already got her. Gladiator/Mirage/Loki on Nov 15 could be good too, as is Jeff in early December. If you don't have Kitty I'd cash in this week because Nico is turning out to be both good and fun, and you'll probably save up another couple of caches before you want to cash in again. Alternatively, wait for the next season patch and see what gets datamined.

Next week is Wearwolf, Silk, and Ghost Spider. Alioth, Knull is the week after. As for which weeks to pop the caches, Jeff did a recent video about that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l0lUG2jNZA&t=385s He focuses on general power level rather than unlocking specific decks or cards, but it is worth noting that he rates next week as the second-best cache pool out of the current run. I tend to agree with him. All the cards next week are pretty good, and they play into a similar theme (movement). I think it's worth opening next week unless you hate movement decks or are looking for a specific S4/5 card. In other news, Nico rules. 49 power from a 1-drop is a bit over rate.

Those are the worst traps in the game. It's temping to use that option early because you have fewer boosters, but very soon you'll have more boosters than you know what to do with, and credits are always scarce. Honestly, I'd advise watching some videos on the game economy before buying anything in the shop. Value sings wilding depending on a range of factors.

But it seems like it doesn't really matter if all the cards are randomized. But not in the case of Chavez. It used to be the case that Chavez didn't start at the bottom of your deck but was just randomized with the others, but then her ability was: "You always draw this card on turn 6, and not before." So, when she was shuffled in somewhere near the top of your deck, after a few turns she would actually be at the top and then stay there until turn 6. Which means that cards like Cable or Jubilee, that draw the top card of the deck, had a huge chance of drawing her. Or, if Howard had been a thing then (I don't think he was released before they changed Chavez), he would've been (even more) useless because he would show Chavez half the time. So yeah, most of the time it doesn't matter. But sometimes it does. Edit: Is there a way to look up previous versions of cards? Sometimes I like to know what a card used to be. uXs fucked around with this message at 11:39 on Oct 26, 2023 |

You'd think one of the database sites would have a patch history listed on the card pages, but nope. As an aside, I'd really like it if they nerfed or changed Chavez somehow. No idea what they could do, but she ends up in too many generically good decks due to her thinning power.

Making Chavez less popular is not difficult. You simply make her narrower by adding some extra condition like that she needs to be the only 6-energy card in your starting deck to work.

Whether she's used the way the devs want or not, if you remove her deck thinning ability she's practically useless. She would have to have some overwhelming ability to make people actually want to play her. You'll just see more Magik and Crystal instead for a similar effect.

I agree she'd be useless but I think she was designed to be training wheels where you'd always have a turn 6 play in the tutorial phase. That said if they do anything to curb her deck thinning it will be to change her to be drawn turn 6 if you haven't already done so. And probably a buff to like 11/12 power

I guess the question would be 'is the state of the game better if Chavez is dumpstered' while ignoring the state of the card itself. You have to accept she'll be unplayable outside of pool 1 if she functions similarly without the deck thin
