Skippy McPants posted:Edit: notably, he not only fills an opposing lane but also clears your lane, which is a big deal. You can do stuff like pop Hoods or Rocks and free up more space on your side even if you can't send anything else over. Yep Debrii + Annihilus is gonna be hilarious. People underestimate the value of lane space.

Sandwolf posted:not tryna be a dick but I heard the exact above back in February. Unsupported deck archetypes who get one strong T5 suddenly become a lot more consistent. TBF discard still wasn't very consistent post-MODOK. It was better, sure, but it wasn't until we saw a steady influx of new cards for the archetype starting with Daken that it really took off.

Yeah, Discord only started really moving in the past couple of months as the slow buffs to its support cards pushed it over into something pretty dang good. The difference with Clutter is that it's already kinda okay, so adding a powerful finisher on an already stable foundation has a lot more potential. MODOK was a powerful finisher in a deck that didn't fire half the time.

When Gladiator pulls a card and doesn't get to smash it, he curses in his silly space language. Huge fan of that

The fact that Annihilus kills anything he can't move is pretty huge. I don't think he's going to be meta defining but I expect to have a lot of fun with him

I needed all three cards this week. Pulled all 3 without the 1000 token whammy.  Now let's see if I can build up 2 more spotlight keys (3 total) to have a decent shot at Annihilus.

A little while ago (the last Ice Age by thread standards), someone said that Gladiator could be compared to the Hearthstone card Dirty Rat. Now, SNAP isn't Hearthstone (thank gently caress), but Dirty Rat was definitely a card with a "why would I play that?" first impression that turned out to be disgustingly effective in certain situations.

I don't know how close a comparison that is. Dirty rat didn't trigger battle cries, where Gladiator does let the on reveal go off. Plus pulling from hand vs pulling from deck is pretty different.

Don't take these early stats into account, because I don't think it's actually this good. Might need another discard effect to more reliably make Strong Guy go off.

I wanted Gladiator cause I like the character first cache, Spider-Man 2099 which I already have. wowza, thanks. next two are mirage and loki who I both don't have might be able to get another key this week. gently caress me I'd be so annoyed if I'd already had loki or mirage

The vibe is about what I expected: decent stats with a chance to lose you in the game. Still shocked they cut him from a 3/8 down to a 3/7 before release.

There's maybe two or three? Giving your opponent an On Reveal they wouldn't have drawn or played otherwise is just so wildly bad.

I don't get why he's not like dirty rat and prevents the on reveal. Or maybe if he kills the other card first, it doesn't go off?

Giving your opponent an On Reveal they wouldn't have drawn or played otherwise is just so wildly bad. Depends on the timing of it. Pulling Carnage or Deathlok onto your opponent's big Venom will kill both of them as well as denying him a Zola split or a Deadpool doubling. Pulling Loki with prio on the turn he plays his Snowguard and Collector is a 20-point swing. I've been messing around with a Gladiator deck that empties your opponent's deck and it's quite viable.

Xguard86 posted:I don't get why he's not like dirty rat and prevents the on reveal. Or maybe if he kills the other card first, it doesn't go off? That'd make him powerful but also really inconsistent since any ability that reveals a card triggers the On Reveal, so he'd be the only thing that worked that way (that I can think of.) I guess you could do something like Hearthstone's Joust, where he looks at the top card of the enemy deck and destroys or plays it, depending on the power balance. But again, that would be a unique ability and is probably more work to implement and not worth the trouble. I think he's just kinda badly designed.

There are plenty of non on-reveal cards that seem like they'd be miserable to pull. Giving your opponent a free Infininaut seems kind of disastrous. How does he interact with the least consistent card in the game, Professor X? Does his own power kill him, or does X's lock down prevent himself from being killed?
