There’s a decent amount of Hazmat running around, and locations like Necrosha and Negative Zone screw zoo harder than most other decks. I don’t know if that’s enough to make Luke optimal, but there are reasons to run him.

Yeah,this. I put him in when Fisk Tower was the hot location and he was so good I left him in. I usually didn't have room to play every card anyway so in games where he wasn't good I just played other stuff.

It's also Bast insurance for Shanna lol.

They really need to take Hela behind the shed and shoot her. Just completely unfun. It was annoying to have 50% of matches in infinite be Thanos, but at least you can tech your deck to beat that one.

Hmm, does it make you feel better to know SD thinks it’s fine within its metrics ? Because it is not among the “strongest decks” it is fine :)

It's funny because I would honestly rather go back to a 10% Galactus meta, and that deck was weaker than either Thanos or Hela

e: actually after typing out and reading that sentence back to myself, it becomes clear that I should just play Galactus

hela is tough bc when it goes off it's almost unbeatable but every other time you just don't draw hela or discard her immediately, and I could believe that in the long run the deck whiffs more than it wins. doesn't make being on the other side of a hela win any more fun though

Oh yeah, I've played it before and you're lucky to go off 50% of the time. But when 7 or 8 out of every 10 matches are against that deck, it starts going off a whole lot.

I think the thing is Hela is totally uninteractive unless you nail the Cosmo on last turn which, isn’t realistic. So yes, when playing maybe it only goes off 50%, but if you’re on ladder and keep hitting that person hitting that 50% poo poo feels awful because there is literally nothing you can do.

Hela would probably work better as something like "Revive 3 random discarded cards" or "create 4 powered zombies equal to how many cards were discarded"
I play Hela a lot because it wins a lot, but it's not very fun

If you've ever thought about buying a premium mystery variant with 'high probability' of certain album cards, someone submitted a ticket after only getting 1 such card after buying 14 variants.

Tech response:

We've looked into it, and the variants you've opened from PMV seem to be within the normal range. For more details, feel free to check out the related info we've shared on our official website. Thanks a bunch for your support!

... what the gently caress.

this is what the published rates are:

quote:

This Featured Mystery Variant contains all eligible unowned Rare and Super-rare variants, excluding Pixel variants. It also includes the currently-featured variants at a higher rate.

Every 12 Featured Mystery Variants opened reward the following (not in this order):

6 Rare Variants
3 Super-rare Variants
3 Featured Variants

Additionally:

If there are no eligible Featured Variants to reward, any Featured Variant pull instead awards an eligible, unowned Rare or Super-Rare Variant.
If there are no eligible Rare Variants to reward, any rare pull instead awards an eligible, unowned Rare Avatar.
If there are no eligible Super-rare Variants to reward, any Super-rare pull instead awards an eligible, unowned Super-rare Avatar.
If there are no eligible Avatars to award, any Avatar pull instead rewards 310 Boosters.

if the ticket they submitted is accurate then either these rates are wrong or the person is misreporting only getting 1 out of 14

What does “featured variant” mean? Just like if there’s a shop takeover or new card or whatever? I don’t see anything that indicates guaranteed album cards. I’m guessing it’s just projection by that person.

I think the counter doesn't reset between features so you could hit a 1 out of 14 inside the two sets of 12.

sometimes the premium variant in the shop has an icon on it that specifically marks it as having a higher chance of rolling a card in a particular album

Sometimes the mystery variant will have something featured, usually a takeover or when a new album is out, but sometimes randomly.
It'll have the little icon

Even 3 in 12 kind of sucks if they advertise it as 'featured'. Then again, I didn't think people were buying this poo poo by the dozen.

Theoretically, the longest you could go without a featured variant is 18 pulls:

[ F F F 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ] [ 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 F F F ]

Though you'd have to be pretty unlucky.

My Twitch rewards variant was Hipp Multiple Man. Decent enough, not that I ever really play a move or even Phoenix deck.

My Season Pass premium variant reward is a kick rear end Angel card...who will see even less play because I've never played Angel after my first week:

Pixel Helicarrier from Twitch which is actually not a bad variant and I think I'll use it if I ever put Helicarrier in a deck.
