I'd be curious to know what kind of state Snap was in during it's beta run. I participated in two of Dual Force's beta tests, well I tried to. The first one was so bad they just had to cancel it outright because the client/server communication just didn't work. The 2nd one it mostly worked, but it was still laggy as hell. For a card game! I never really felt like I was having fun with the actual gameplay during that test. I'm not sure if it was the mechanics, the bugs, the large deck size (Snap has really spoiled me).

Despite it's frustrations, Snap's gameplay is really great (and fast). Dual Force felt the complete opposite.

I started playing Snap at the tail end of the first season, June or July 2022, and it was pretty much fully formed by then. It was feature complete, everything worked, and there were probably fewer major bugs than have been introduced since it went live. They kept it in beta another 4-5 months anyway. It was night and day compared with DCDF.

PTCGL sucks.

Basically, imagine if they took the Daily Mission / Collection Ladder mechanics from snap, but with each box being card packs instead. Pokémon TCG card sets are massive, and while they do have Hearthstone-style card crafting, they have no option to decompose cards to get new crafting currency; instead, duplicates give you more crafting currency.

The only other way to get more cards than the amount you get by playing each day is by buying (physical) Pokémon card packs and feeding the codes inside those packs into the game, which gives you a pack of cards in the game. There is no trading system (the old PTCGO online card game had a trade center, which was horribly cutthroat, but it did exist).

But hey, it's on mobile now!

Any week where you get four new cards is a good week, even if most of them are series 4.

Man, I just absolutely cannot find a deck to try and climb with. I was at 99 a couple of days ago and now I'm down to 88. I've cycled through a bunch of decks and just keep getting shithoused by random bullets (Surprise galactus, enchantress/chi that perfectly gently caress up whatever deck I'm playing) over and over and over. I've played card games for over 20 years and I fully recognize when I'm tilting, but that's not even the case this time. It's been a supremely frustrating couple of days, I really need to find a list that doesn't keep getting hosed.

Anyone have any suggestions? Devil dino ongoing, mold decks, ramp lists, etc. have all completely failed me.

Loki. Check the KM Bests video below for a build guide with gameplay. It’s one of the harder deck pilot but it’s been at or near the top of the meta for months now. Always a reliable way to hit infinite.

This is accurate. They also said that credits would be higher than the original mine, which was 7000. I'm guessing 3k tokens 10k credits, but we'll see.

My Shaw deck was unstoppable for the first 2 weeks and now it's dead in the water, and they nerfed all my other good decks. Blob/Hela is the only thing I'm having any luck with, I took Red Skull out and put Taskmaster in so I at least have a couple other ways to win

Shaw is a fun card and I don't think he's bad or anything, but I also don't think he's a cornerstone of a top tier deck. Definitely a step down from the last few season pass cards. Which, honestly, is probably a good thing because they keep nerfing those anyway after the fact which is bullshit.

Putting Taskmaster in helped a lot, but it's still a win or lose deck. If I get IW-Modok-Hela I'll win, if I can get Blob-Tasky (either with him behind IW or with ramp cards) I win, if I get bad draws and can't pull either I may as well retreat. When I do win I'm regularly pulling 8 cubes though

For me this kind of description makes it a Conquest deck, where you can take a few retreats and still not be worse off because you win big 1/4 times or something. For ladder consistency and simplicity are key.
