She swaps the costs of all the cards still in your deck, so a 6 cost card could become a 0 cost and the 0 cost becomes 6 cost etc.

Hipp Klaw came up in my shop. Bought him to add to my album, complete my Buy 10 track, get 2000 tokens and get Bandleader Wong as my bonus free card. And I had zero variants for either of those guys. Man, even when it’s not actually tied to anything, the start of the season always feels so much better.

wyoak posted:swaps - like Zola becomes a 0/6 (like peak or negative)? Or does it move the costs around, so if I've got Zola and Wasp, Zola becomes a 0 cost and Wasp becomes a 6 cost? Swaps costs, not costs and power. So Zola becomes 0 and Wasp becomes 6. But it only applies to cards that started in your deck, so nothing happens to Infinity Stones or Mjolnir/Storm Breaker.

It sure seems like they are quietly getting rid of both Series 4 cards and gold bundles

Pixie in 1 So far she seems like Mr. Negative in that you need to draw a lucky order of cards for her to be effective. Most games she's sitting comfortably at the bottom of my deck while my hand fills up with 6-costs.

Or does it move the costs around, so if I've got Zola and Wasp, Zola becomes a 0 cost and Wasp becomes a 6 cost? it's important to note Pixie shuffles, NOT swaps. she does not choose pairs of cards and exchange costs between them. she takes all the costs on all the cards in your deck that began there, randomizes them, then assigns each card in deck a cost from that list.

I'm not ready to consider her, like, Martyr tier or anything but I still don't really understand what Pixie's best use case is.

I think it’s just another way of doing the whole “variance your deck” thing like Negative or Lockjaw just in a different way. I don’t think she’s a particularly strong card. But she’s definitely cool + interesting.

I played 10 games with Pixie and lost all but two of them, one of which was to a bot. And that was with multiple dream starts of Pixie on 2 into Mobius on 3. Similar to Mr Negative she's got a cool effect but is inconsistent. Unlike Mr Negative she doesn't have the support of Zabu/Ravonna/Psylocke to either get the effect earlier or mitigate not getting it at all.

Apparently she can swap the cost of cards... back onto the same cards. Unless people are just unlucky and it's swapping a 1-cost with a 1-cost. Was thinking she would be fun with Thor/BRB but hammers don't start in your deck. Some kind of High Evo - Hope deck might work? Play into Hope on 4, float energy on 5, play Shenaut on 6. Less reliance on Magik/Leech combo. Edit: Haha, nope - Magneto stayed at 6-cost despite being the only one. Concurred fucked around with this message at 23:38 on Mar 5, 2024 |

she shuffles the costs, not swaps. the costs are put into a bucket and reassigned randomly back to the cards in the deck, which does in fact mean that the high cost cards can stay high and the lower stay low

Definitely had Pixie shuffle cards with themselves. One match was like she wasn't even played. Still fun in a high evo style deck. Anyone having success with Hope Summers?

flatluigi posted:she shuffles the costs, not swaps. the costs are put into a bucket and reassigned randomly back to the cards in the deck, which does in fact mean that the high cost cards can stay high and the lower stay low A card getting its own cost back isn't even a rare occurrence - if my math is correct if you play Pixie on 2 with 7 cards in your deck, the chance at least one of them gets its own cost back is greater than %60 (note that this *is not* saying that if there's only one 6-cost card in there it's a %60 chance it stays 6 - that chance is *much much* smaller). If you play Pixie when there are only 2 cards in your deck it's 50-50 whether they switch or not. That's how shuffling anything works.

Pixie and Negative would be so much better if they also hit your hand. But maybe that would be too crazy?

If Pixie hit your deck *and* your hand I think she'd be worth it. Negative would be 100% busted though lol e: Few things fill me with life quite like getting The Peak with Mr N in hand

My Second Re-Reg posted:
Oh yes, this keeps many salty bad negative runs from making me delete my favorite decks. You just gotta avoid snapping right away because your opponent knows what's about to happen. More testing with pixie. Seems fine for big decks, but not a major enabler like Negative. More so sometimes she high rolls the same way you can high roll with Moon Girl and She Hulk?

I'm late series 3 and got 7 new cards today, and no idea which one to try first (well, probably not Spider-Man 2099 which is the one I got off a regular progression Reserve).

Well, I have about 60 percent of Series 4+5 cards so the fourth spotlight is more likely to give me a duplicate than not, but this time it was a hit (Phoenix Force).

yeah last time it happened was when they did series drops, I didn't have 4 of the garbage cards + buying echo for 3k tokens when she dropped and picking up the regular battle pass/release cards I got like 6 cards in a week and I felt loving alive

Either they had too many good bundles in the past, the Spotlight system is too generous, folks have too many Tokens stockpiled, or something cause it really seems like they're trying to shave gold and credits off players' stacks wherever they can get away with it.

None of the above. When Nuverse announced closure Second Dinner went out and got $100m of venture capital investment. We are now paying that back.

With all the hype people had for Pixie, and getting burned on Supergiant not being the hype train it was going for either, I'll wait for a killer pixie deck before I start blowing my 4 keys. If anything, I'm holding out for War Machine, because I cannot fathom him NOT being a staple.

War Machine seems like the only ‘must have’ Mockingbird will be decent but not essential. Cannonball seems like he will mostly suck. Arguably Hope may be the best card this month if War Machine doesn’t work out as well as we think
