Yeah, great at getting us into Wawa.

Kingpin's change might be a decent buff, idk. Maybe fits better lore-wise since there's some crossover with the Spiders and Luke Cage ability-wise. Move needs things like this to splash around with and see if they stick.

The tower change annoys me, Legion into Juggy was a fun combo that won't be nearly as fun now

Magneto/Polaris/Juggernaut/Stegron were fun with KP and/or the tower. I guess they still are, but it seems like a change just to make one.

Kingpin was quite bad so some sort of change was probably advisable, and making him a 2 energy tech card with a reasonable body and game long impact isn't the worst way to do that - it's just that he targets what is currently a weak archetype so it's hard to see his play rate really increasing without a significant meta shift that forthcoming cards don't seem likely to provide

the change to Kingpin's Tower is just unnecessary/bad though, that Juggernaut interaction is like the least significant problem this game has with consistency/readability

I've been warming up to the Kingpin change. It can be another Kraven for the move disruption decks.

Would have been more useful a couple of months ago when that one move deck dominated the meta

I don't mean disrupting enemy move decks. I mean using post patch Kingpin as a "2nd Kraven" with cards like Polaris, Spider-man and Aero.

Pulled Caiera in two, getting that dope HE variant on the first. Pretty decent luck pulling spotlights the past couple weeks, hope it can last.

I only have one key, already got HEvo and Nebula. Caiera looks so good but I don't fancy my chances. I'm going to save for WC 24th - I'll have enough keys to get all the cards (Grandmaster, Loki, Hit Monkey) of which I have none.

there are upcoming spotlight cards that move your cards... i presume the nerf was so that they can preserve their predatory bullshit gacha lootboxes and not have multiple cards doa as soon as the week(s) rollover.

Yes

She is going to be a strong tech card in a lot of decks, since it protects both 1 and 6 drops

I got Nebula, Gladiator then Caiera. I think Gladiator is seeing some play now, right?

I don't mind the old comic book art style but that one just looks like a comic cover rather than a character illustration. Managed to dodge it though.

Judging from nothing else besides my opinion before even getting her: yes. Armor on every location for all your killmonger-vulnerable 1-drops and your big 6-drops sounds pretty great, I can't imagine her not being useful.

That said, again: just my opinion without having her.

And Nebula is great too. One of those cards that keeps popping up in decks because she's just good, but you already knew that.

Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
Caiera seems neat but I have Nebula and HE, and man I do not like those odds for a tech card.

ijyt posted:

You just got enough tokens, probably through the Token Tuesday offer, right?

It takes a bit of time for the shop to catch up to that, wait a few hours, maybe force-quit and restart.

I play HE deck so i'm hoping i can fit Caiera in there since it's the 1s and 6s who get blown up. Not sure who i drop though. I currently have Shang and Enchantress as techs. Maybe Shang since i can't really afford to play him on 6 a lot of the time anyway.

Yep. Cards on board with current power of 10 or more discount him in hand. (Can matter if you, e.g., drop Typhoid Mary and knock your Attuma down to 9, failing to discount Skaar and screwing up your T6 plan...)
