I swapped Blob for Shocker because I was basically never happy to play Shocker and this gives more options for the final two turns.

Also people have gotten wise to Magik and I've seen more Legion in the last day than the previous month.

Also, a question, a lot of people post images of their decks, screen shotted from the app. Why is that a popular way to share a deck vs. the 'share deck' code that is easily generated/copy pasted to create the deck? It feels like taking a screenshot and uploading it is way more work!

Unless you literally just want to show off your variants/splits I guess.

Because I play on my phone and post on my actual computer, so transferring deck codes is a bigger pain. Anyhoo, Shenaut is the best HE list. Here is the core,



The last three slots can be any of,

Leech
Nebula
Cosmo
Shocker
Jeff
Armor

Of those, I think Leech, Nebula, Cosmo, and Shocker are the best choices.

I use the untapped.gg tracker and it makes screenshots for me on their website. Doesn't use my variants though.

Not sure if it's worth putting Quinjet in there when it would only affect cards created by Moongirl.

Played a few rounds with it but I'm still in the 60's from season reset and it's like 80% bots so hard to judge its effectiveness. But in those rounds, I only played MG twice, I'd often feel like Caiera was a better T4 drop if I didn't/couldn't play her T3.

Why Nimrod? He's a pretty marginal card.

Mainly because it seems fun to kill him a bunch but also I have a lot of the best S4-5 cards already. For 3k tokens I could instead get Legion, Master Mold, Mobius or Modok (plus some really worthless cards like Martyr). I passed on Legion when he was in the spotlight.

I don't think he's up in spotlights anytime soon either

This deck put in work for me on ladder today. The key is that you want priority. I try for Nebula + Storm right with Echo + Ms. Marvel middle. Between Ms. Marvel, Jeff, and Vision you should be able to win the Storm lane. Echo will stop opposing Ms. Marvels. I swear that card is invisible. So many people drop Professor X or Iron man or Sera on the Echo lane. With the Storm lane locked down Alioth usually wins another lane or you can go wide with Dr. Doom. Silk is a possible wild card. Sometime she helped by getting into the Storm lane but just as often she clogged something up. I would consider Shadow King or Lizard as a swap.

I don't know that I would call move decks toddler level. They're actually incredibly hard to play well and are one of the strongest things you can do in pool 2. That being said, they get outclassed and outscaled very quickly by mid pool 3.

e: Did you open Caiera? Play Blue Marvel Ka-zoo. I think it would be seriously strong at your CL. Unplayable without the Caiera protection though.

I didnt even think of that, doh! And yeah I'm only CL797 atm, have Caiera, Loki, Iron Lad, Sebastian Shaw out of series 5.

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.
I’d be fine with not 8-cubing in proving grounds if it was generally understood that you concede to the first match winner. But some bastards want to drag it out, so you need that double snap and exchange of fistbump emotes just to confirm that two sane people are playing.

Hopefully one day SD will get smart and just make proving grounds a one match deal without the energy system.

I'm a drag it outer. I like to use PG to test out decks in the wild and sometimes you want to try it a few times against one deck. Yknow, in case you draw bad or get owned by Sakaar or whatever. See how it plays in a variety of situations, but in a controlled way.

Sometimes I'm in a :evilbuddy: mood and just wanna unleash a troll deck but that's completely different.

I just had the most insanely frustrating first match in a gold Conquest. Dude would pull a 1 point retreat on like turn 3 of every game if it was going my way (like turn 3 is going to lock in a win in my lovely Shaw Surfer auto deck). On the fourth game I snapped on turn 1 out of frustration and he ended up winning so then we played 3 more games for 2 points until he finally beat me. I would rather lose in two games than that poo poo.

Same. I actually got to the final game of an infinite conquest last season with this method but just got boned by really bad draws. However I smoked thru a full infinity ticket and like 1800 tokens in like 10 mins.
