Wong fucks. I played pretty much that deck to my first few pool 3 infinites, though I'm sure it feels worse with New Chavez. Odin makes that deck go crazy and gives you a little extra juice if Wong gets silenced or you don't draw Doom. You could probably swap him in for WQ or Armor since you don't really need to worry about anything getting destroyed.

yep

the +2 is still usually much less bad for you than whatever text they had in a deck playing Patriot (or conversely doesn't compensate for Doom/Ultron getting blanked)

Back to Infinite. Gonna be very sad when the Loki nerf hits next week. He's the only deck I enjoy playing into all the boring, linear, big-idiot decks that make up, like, 50% of the meta.

Wow, his Misty whiffed pretty hard. One middle and one more on the right woulda won it. He should probably retire the that pitcher variant.

He should probably retire the that pitcher variant.

They played Misty turn 2, and the only way for them to win after playing Debrii on 3 was for Misty to hit the left lane exactly twice and the middle lane once on turns 4,5 and 6. Any other variation doesn't win so it was a pretty big ask.

Edit: actually after thinking about it the odds are very slightly in their favour after turn 3 but Misty hit the right lane after turn 4 so they really should have figured they'd lost already.

Yeah, it's a bad stay from him since he's banking on a 1/3 middle hit and two 1/3 right hits. I don't know the math but I think it's single digits. Shoulda got out for 2 cubes. I just wanted to make the pitcher joke.

Edit: wait, he had two hits land right. Why the gently caress did he stay at all? The game was deterministically over on Turn 4/5 unless he somehow tricked himself into thinking you couldn't beat 14 power right.

Anyone else feel Skaar is one of the worst monthly cards yet? Very boring, you can build around it but it's better off Blob foods. At best I've made a deck to hit a 10+ power card on turn 3, 4, 5, so it cost zero on turn 6. Even then I'm like, this is just a weird/bad version of Shehulk.

Feels similar to Shaw, useful but narrow. Honestly, I'm fine with that. After the streak of Loki, Elsa, and Ms. Marvel respectively tearing up the meta I'm okay with having a few season pass cards that're more medium.

Don't worry, we'll probably be back to busted Season Pass cards next month, with Black Swan (2/3 On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, your 1-Cost cards cost 0). I'd be shocked if someone doesn't find a way to break her.

Some weird Caiera flood or bounce deck. Swan on 2, Nico/Hood/Beast on 3, do it again on 4 with Falcon. Could probably get some juice on Angela/Collector, too. Basically, it's the same weird meta shift since Hit Monkey.

Hell, Black Swan could make Hit Monkey great again. Which means Alioth will rise again.

He seems pretty decent. He and shuri both synergize with the fat but downside units so he can maybe fit in there.

I just played this deck:



Did not realize that Shocker was a -1 COST, I thought it was -1 Power, as in it was somehow making your hand worse!

Did Shocker on Hulk, into Moon Girl, then Quinn Jet ( With the location that yields +1 energy when winning ) and holy crap, the swing in power! This deck is awesome once you stop and read the cards to understand the cards!

You'll have to make a couple substitutions, but since you have Beast, Human Torch, and Caiera you should check out Jeff Hoogland's YouTube video from a day or two ago. It's a Human Torch bounce deck that allows you to make big stupid numbers and looks pretty fun to play. I was thinking about trying it out this weekend. I think Falcon comes before pool 3 anyway? Ignore this if you don't have him yet.

e: if you're specifically looking for Loki decks, you're missing some of the hand filling engine that makes him work. I'm specifically thinking of Snowguard and Agent Coulson.

I remember playing a lot of Spectrum Destroyer in early pool 3 (I think Destroyer was literally my first series 3 card haha).
Since you have Loki you can do the Series 2 Dino/collector deck with him, feels a bit tepid without other series 3 ways to fill your hand tho.
Caiera + Falcon + Beast could make a solid enough zoo bounce deck with Bishop/Angela as the payoffs. Forge/Hawkeye/Rocket can actually get pretty big with 2-3 plays.

Personally I love bounce so that'd be my first try.

I'm having a blast with this deck, but I guess I'll have to modify it when Kingpin changes to stay on brand.

Edit: Maybe replace Polaris/Kingpin/Magneto with Black Bolt/Stature/Alioth? I don't have Alioth - yet.

E: Of course once I play it not while pooping, and on my computer I get trounced by destroy with bad draws that I REALLY should have retreated from.

I run a similar deck but I swapped Quinjet and Shocker for Shang-Chi and Infinuat.

Shocker is helpful but I feel like I still need Shang-Chi for going up against inevitable Wave-Blob-Taskmaster combo. A Mobius could also help, or a Cosmo if you have priority and can guess the lane Blob or TM is going into, but I still always prefer Shang. Yeah, Armor, Cosmo, and Caeira block him, but not everyone manages to get those out.

Edit: Also Hulk naming his son Skaar is like me having a son and naming him Erth.

Best solution is probably take your winningest deck, find the least essential card, replace it with Skaar, and hope you don't gotta play him.

MODOK is only in discard decks. If you run a lot of discard then go for it, otherwise I would hold off.
