There’s a new pixel Debrii in my shop. The size of the “pixels” aren’t uniform across all elements in the piece. That is such a massive pet peeve of mine; it breaks the most basic principle of pixel art!

Never compromise, not even in the face of Armageddon.
I’ve managed to consistently beat that Corvus/Sandman deck twice in ladder and in a Gold conquest match with this stupid Agatha deck that CozySnap posted yesterday on YouTube.

Took me from Silver to an infinity ticket and from 97-100 this afternoon. This is the first time I’ve ever used Agatha and it’s hilarious. I pretty much just snap when I see Corvus in my hand before turn 4.

E: Shitposts aside, I think regular Lockjaw is cool, as he specifically affects one lane. I suspect your complaint with Hela Lockjaw is specifically with Hela.

I was being sarcastic but lots of this thread is just people asking for nerfs to like a half dozen cards at a time

It's the same perplexing misunderstanding of art genres that leads to the ink treatments just being a desaturated version of the color art which makes it look washed out.

So I can't test this extensively for obvious reasons, but it APPEARS that if you priority Quake a closed miniature lab onto a lane that has lockjaw on the same turn that they drop cards there, their cards reveal, vanish, but nothing cheats out of their deck because of minilab.

Here's the kicker: I think the cards they revealed DON'T go back into their deck. They just... never existed? Their deck count doesn't reflect 2 more cards in it if you tap their name, destroyed is still 0, discarded is still 0.

If by some miracle this situation happens to someone else I'd love to see the result.

Something similar happens if you Reality Stone into a Lockjaw and it changes into Space Throne or the like, but I've never thought to check if the cards are actually going back into the deck. I just assumed that they were.

They become delayed and can't return to the play area until the upkeep phase two turns later. Then they can return to any location in Arkham.

Except in comics, that's DC, so they never return.

Another interesting edge case; if you don't have 2 cards in your hand, Corvus won't give you the extra power

Not an edge case. Corvus's ability reads "discard two cards to gain 1 max power". It's not two separate abilities, it's a cost and if you can't pay it you don't get the benefit.

He didn't used to. His original power didn't need any cards in your hand to work. Horribly broken.

So now you need, like, Apocalypse or Swarm is in your hand to fully destroy your opponent's cards on the ol' Wong-Mystique combo.

I am probably more excited for Proxima than I should be. Before I became a full time Loki Stan, there was a time when I was a discard main player. Been kicking around a couple ideas, but I don't know if either are going to put up the points required to be competitive. I do think that Dracula and Collector go in different decks, and that's one of the big differences between the two. We are finally getting to the point though where there's a critical mass of stuff that's actually good to discard. Alex Coccia mentioned Moon Girl / She Hulk / Proxima / MODOK on the Snap Chat, and I'm kind of interested in tinkering with that too.

Drac - Apoc


Collector - Helicarrier


e: Now the main question is, do I burn some keys even though the variants this week are poo poo? Or do I burn some of my 20k tokens because series 4 drops seem to have disappeared? Leaning towards tokens even though keys are easier to replace.

I'm thinking that I may just tokens this week and save my keys. Next week with Pixie I think is a skip. Then a week later Mockingbird/Ms Marvel/Man-Thing I will probably use my keys, because the variants are much better.

Cannonball week is a skip and War Machine is probably also a skip. Red Hulk week looks good.

if War Machine allows you to play

Infinaut without skipping a turn
Maw after turn 3
Cull without a 1
Sentry right

etc

he's a must have.

War Machine makes everything a Jeff. Jeff can ignore effects that prevent him being played including if you've previously played a card under Sandman, so I can only assume that WM will allow Infinaut to be played if you played a card last turn.

Double post, but I've just been reminded that Twitch drops begin today two hours before the reset (so in roughly 4.5 hours) and run until March 5th. Same deal as last time - boosters for 2 hours viewed, 350 credits for 4 hours and a Mystery Variant for 6 hours.

Other things are trying to stop Jeff. Jeff has never tried to stop himself from being played.

It will depend on what he effects exactly. Leech lets you play Infinaut if you’ve played something else the turn before, but you can’t put him on Deep Space in that case, because his restriction kicks in first. I’m assuming WM will act on the cards themselves

I feel like it will still require that all the rules that allow it leave your hand must be followed.

rules to playing a card-
rule 1: have enough energy to play the card
rule 2: not breaking any self restrictions to playing the card
rule 3: not breaking any external restrictions to playing the card
rule 4: have somewhere valid to place the card

rules 1 and 2 mean it cant even leave the hand
rules 3 and 4 it left the hand and is looking for a home but is potentially stopped from going any further

rule 2 is essentially a cost to play the card

Leech isn't relevant to the conversation because he turns everything into just stats for cost

"Identity Crisis" Murderer Wild Guess #333:Prince "Lady Killer Charming "Well, I AM the Adversa"



Here's an edge case I found a couple of weeks ago:
Thanos was still in my deck, and I played all the infinity stones, so he got the +10 power boost as the Power Stone does specify "(wherever he is)". I then played Blob, who ate Thanos but Thanos only counted for 10 power. Flipping through the cards behind Blob, Thanos did have the boosted 20 power, but Blob only counted him for 10. Has this been addressed, and I missed it? I took a couple of months off, and was only slowly getting back into the game when Blob dropped, so maybe this has been brought up before, but it just didn't behave how I expected.

No external stuff counts until the cards are in your hand, same reason that Yondu hitting Wolverine doesn't put him in the board
