Are you at a lower collection level? If so I'd say don't use it today or tomorrow. Generally you want to wait until you have 4 keys and a week that has multiple cards you need.

That being said starting Tuesday, the new set has two very good cards and one potentially really good card. It might be worth it to spend that key trying to get High Evo, it's a deck defining card.

I was S3 complete and had a few nice S4 and S5s when I stopped playing, just as High Evo was coming out.

Be careful what you wish for, I've burned a lot of gold this month on Hipp variants for cards I'll never use

Well, now another Luchador variant has appeared in my shop (Warpath), so I just spent a chunk of the gold I was trying to save for my Hipp album. C’est La vie. Maybe one day they’ll do a lucha album.

Going the full five for the spiffy avatar is very long odds, even with the best deck and perfect play. If you manage a 65% win rate, which is quite high, you still only have a ~7-8% chance of winning five Conquest matches in a row.

Nice, I also got it for the first time this season. I honestly don't think conquest is for me, feels like it goes on forever and my attention starts to drift.

I had someone snap back in the first match and lost 8 cubes. They went on to play out the next round for some dang reason. I don't know why they would want to win 4 in a row just for a silver ticket. Absolute lunatics out here.

Is it? The meta is already mostly idiot big-guy decks, and both the upcoming cards slot into those kinds of lists.

Is the conversion rate better to just use your tickets for the base entry rewards into silver/gold/infinite and then concede? I feel like they are, in most cases.

In case you didn’t know, you can start a conquest run, hit the question mark, then choose Forfeit. Faster than going into a match to concede.

It's been outclassed at the upper levels of the meta now, but Destroyer used to be a top tier build around card. You want Prof X, Armor, and Cosmo to protect your own things from being blown up. Notice how those are all ongoing cards? Fill the rest of the deck with other ongoing cards like Ant-Man and Warpath, and then top that part of the deck off with Spectrum. It's been a year+, but this build was tier 1 for a while and is pretty fun to play. You could throw the Rogue in there too to steal other peoples' ongoing effects.

This has gotten me to 5 cubes from Infinite in the non-conquest mode, thank you :shobon:

Awesome! Sometimes it's good to revisit the old decks to see how they stack up in the new metas or just the lower collection levels.

Ongoing Destroyer has never fallen off because none of its key cards have been nerfed, except for Destroyer losing 1 power. It's like Shuri in that respect, except Destroyer is easier to build because it only requires 1 Pool 3 card. And it only gets better as you get stronger ongoing cards, like Ms. Marvel.

It's bad against Loki, but he isn't that common right now, and the fact that decks like this are running Shang and Enchantress is a pretty strong indictment of the meta.

I'm pretty sure you should just get the medals instead, if anything, you would only get the conversion for the medals you get from conceding anyway most likely.

While it's not helping other people, this did save me like 10 minutes, you're a saint.

Got to exactly 1,000 medals which turned into 165 Apocalypse boosters. I skipped the MODOK season pass though so I've always felt like my discard isn't as powerful as it should be.

Shangchantress used to be a control staple pair, not surprising it’s come back with the meta decks heavily featuring big power and/or stacked ongoings.

They “convert” to a small pile of boosters for a card you never use.

The vast majority of people at your CLs aren't making it to infinite. This means you get thrown into the deep end of the pool when it comes to matchmaking. The natural downside of the change to infinite matchmaking a few months ago I guess. I feel for you, but from a purely selfish perspective I'm really glad I don't see bots anymore so I'm glad they made the change.

I mean it's neat that it doesn't really matter points wise, I like that ranked rewards don't need you to keep that rank until the end if the season, and I've seen crazy rear end decks but they all horrify me.
