My team got swept out of the playoffs, and all I got was this avatar and red text

I need to be more ballsy about snapping in the first conquest game if I'm in a strong position

Gold conquest, game 3 - I was extremely cocky playing a dracula discard deck and 8 cube snapped against a leech infinaut deck with Limbo and Sinister London up, before I forgot Leech'd apoc doesn't regenerate.

Managed to win the next 5 in a row

I always turn 1 snap in Conquest because I want it over as soon as possible. I was actually enjoying this season and then I needed 25 more points to get the psylocke variant, so of course I had to go through a 7 round gauntlet against a Kang user in proving grounds. Finally got my first Conquest variant, though.

You’d be surprised how many eight cubers people will give you in conquest even if they have no path to victory. Ladder is way tighter most of the time.

the worst is getting better at snapping in conquest as the season goes on. and then as the month rolls over, just tanking your rank on the normal climb since it's a completely different mentality and type of risk assessment.

i've lost count on the number of times i've lost because i get turn one snapped on the ranked climb and i'm like ehhh, it's two cubes i think my hand is ok to stay in.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
For the first time ever I started playing Cerebro, specifically C5, and it's a lot more fun than I gave it credit.

Unfortunately I don't have Silk, and I instead swapped it out with Omega Red, which I mean, not the ideal replacement, but it works OK with Ms. Marvel for the most part.

Don't worry about not having Silk, I'm not sold on her for C5. Omega Red seems like a fine substitute to me. I mean even if he doesn't go online it's another 7 power who cares?

I agree that I think Silk is the most replaceable in C5. Titania has a similar problem but is cheaper and doesn’t turn off MsMarv as easily

Yeah, Silk is great for location filling if you end up with Sanctum or Death's Domain or the like, but Dr. Doom can do the same without her.

It's another Ego or District X. Always count on the RNG screwing you and helping your opponent. I'm sure it'll be fine in regular distribution, but a full day of it is going to suck.

Ego and District X can't simply be Switched/Rhinod/Reality Stoned/Nicod/Magiked so they're not really the same. (Ego can of course do that to himself, if he so chooses.)

the new location is hilarious and has lost me some games in incredible ways

but yeah the frequency of any hot/featured location is annoying, but at least with this one you can't really build a deck around it

"You don't understand his pain. Everywhere he goes he sees women working, wearing pants, speaking in gatherings, voting. Surely they will burn in the white hot flames of Hell"
Think I've got a positive w/l ratio on ego because I trust the heart of the cards and immediately snap.

.... Leading to a one cube win when they bail.

Only played a few games with it but already learned some useful things:

It WILL transform Prof X. His lockdown doesn't extend to protecting him.

If you play Absorbing Man after a card is transformed (or a 4-cost card you played on Tarnax turns into Absorbing Man) he copies the On Reveal of the NEW card that it was changed into, if it has one. I haven't seen/experimented with Mystique, but I assume the same with her (she'll copy the new card's Ongoing, if any.)

Cards CAN turn into non-starting/created cards like Rock or Widow's Bite.

Good for Loki, since he just plays random cards anyway.

Edit: I'm gonna be sad when they nerf Loki. He's such a fun deck. Always so much to do, and so many choices to make. Plans and play patterns change multiple times in a single game.

Lol, yeah I only discovered it because I played Black Widow, and my opponent played Widow's Bite on Tarnax ands it changed into...a Widow's Bite. Before that, all other 0-cost cards I saw placed there turned into Wasp or Yellowjacket.

So while I have not SEEN a 1-cost card turn into a Rock yet, it stands to reason that if a ) cost card can turn into Widow's Bite, than a 1-cost could turn into a Rock, yeah? (I also wonder if they could turn into the -2 power Ninja, or 1-power Raptor?)

My favorite game today was a guy playing Dr. Doom on Tarnax, then getting Destroyer.

I snapped for the hell of it, and for some reason they stayed. They banked on being able to take another lane, but there was 0 chance for him. Thx for the 4 cubes though!

Yeah I probably won't. Down to 3 keys after burning 7 on the Annihilus spotlight last week. I'm missing Martyr and 2099 but they're both garbage and also S4.

You really don't need either of those cards. 2099 sucks and Martyr is actually worse than him somehow

Ben Brode responded to a question about Nuverse's issues on the official Snap discord with this-

quote:

HELLO FRIENDS

Marvel Snap is going nowhere. Kind of like the Blob. We are immovable! Or at least, we only move in the direction we want to move... Which is FORWARD! Definitely a lot up in the air right now, and we'd be super sad to hear if our friends at Nuverse are negatively impacted, BUT none if it will affect our ability to make Marvel Snap maximally awesome.

Loki definitely rules to play but also definitely needs a nerf of some kind (or MMM getting back into the meta a bit more)

The more I think about it, the more I want to play with a card as bad as Martyr to see if I can get her to work.

But I know I'm gonna get the lovely 2099 or bullshit 4th option.
