I found US Agent to fit nicely into my spectrum deck. Works well with goose, forcing opponents big cards to the Agent lane. Definitely not a must have card,

Did they stop doing the pool drops or something? I quit last year once the spotlight system released and iron lad is still pool 5.

Patch out. Alioth eats a badly needed rework, but man they took Zabu out back and shot him. Alioth [Old] 6/2 – On Reveal: Destroy all unrevealed enemy cards here. [New] 6/8 – On Reveal: Remove the text from all unrevealed enemy cards here. Zabu [Old] 2/2 – Ongoing: Your 4-Cost cards cost 1 less. (minimum 1) [New] 2/3 – On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, your 4-Cost cards cost 1 less. Sandman [Old] 5/4 – Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn. [New] 5/7 – On Reveal: Players can only play 1 card next turn. Lady Deathstrike [Old] 5/4 – On Reveal: Destroy each card here with less Power than this. [New] 5/7 – On Reveal: Destroy each card here with 3 or less Power. Strong Guy [Old] 3/3 – Ongoing: If your hand is empty, +6 Power. [New] 3/3 – Ongoing: +6 Power if your hand has one or fewer cards.

Well, there goes every single deck that I use again. Not sure what the goal is with Alioth there, seems like he's just a powerful enchantress now unless he also reverts stuff like nebula and red Hulk back to the original Power which I don't imagine he does

Honestly feels like he's not worth the deck space with such a narrow window of success. Dead card.

i'm glad alioth is dead though, piece of poo poo mechanic - would have been fine if he announced himself turn 1 so you at least don't get surprised (and so I can retreat and hopefully match against a fun deck instead)

It also seems like the changes to custom cards isn't working? I still only have access to splits I earned with a particular variant, not ANY variant for that card. Unless I'm reading the patch notes wrong about the changes to custom cards.

important notes from nikumatic-land: peach momoko album drops on 6/17 along with 8 new peach momoko variants that go in said album; peach momoko thanos variant is the card reward. if you want a head start you'll need silver surfer, jubilee, doctor strange, and knull (kabuki, not sadboy) from peach, all others releasing on 6/17. there is a new undated magik variant so the drop of the r1c0 variant on 5/17 will not be my end of the time with the game this has been an update on the most important datamines from the patch, thank you

incoherent posted:yeah, agreed on the alioth. I can't just wipe big bad powers off the board anymore or neuter wong plays anymore. Timing of Alioth's change is weird since Alioth hasn't felt like a big deal in months? but it's definitely interesting and probably what they should have done originally Zabu getting murdered feels like a pretty big change, but Zabu as he was meant they had to be SO careful with 4 costs so probably good in the long run

The Zabu change is absolute horseshit. He wasn’t even that prevalent in the meta, but that just neuters a bunch of fun decks. And Alioth hasn’t been prevalent in forever and is now completely useless. That’s not enough power to make up for his insanely narrow use case. No idea what the gently caress they were thinking with either of those.

It feels like they are throwing darts at a dartboard when making these changes Although the dumbest one is the Adam Warlock one. As a 2 cost he wasn’t used that much, but they made him a 5 cost which absolutely makes him useless. Why would it matter if you had an extra draw going into T6? If you really want that, Crystal will do it for 3 cost.

Zabu was definitely S-tier but had a broad appeal across a bunch of different deck types. It wasn’t like HE or OG Alioth or Thanos or whatever where their presence in the game felt oppressive. He just opened things up. Now the use case is way too narrow for his body. He’s harder to play on curve and if you’re saving him for a big turn six, you really need to build a deck to make sure you aren’t wasting those other 3 points of cost on 5 to even make the turn 6 worthwhile.

Zabu has been omnipresent for over a year now. The Alioth change means that there is no real way to majorly damage decks dumping priority. The side effect of this is that there would have been a Tier 0 Sera deck within 48 hours of the patch. The Zabu change might prevent that and honestly the kitty cat has needed to be brought down a peg or two for quite a while now. e: also I agree with the Alioth change. gently caress that card and I wish I lived in the same world as those of you that said you never see him. That fucker has been a nightmare since release.

Honestly all the changes make sense. Alioth loving blows and was Leader levels of "be winning on turn 5 or lose the game" Taking the text off keeps the utilty of shutting off combo pieces while making it so you don't just flat out auto win by being ahead on 5. Zabu is everywhere and this is explicitly a test nerf to see how the meta shakes up without him. Sandman was way too good for a tech card and Corvus ramp made him a problem.

Red posted:https://twitter.com/bootmanmstz/status/1778140809042468934 I could see myself picking up a few specific avatars now and again, just because there are certain variants that are best-in-class for me or on characters I really love but I'll never in a thousand years randomly pull them from the caches. Sometimes I wanna rep a certain variant that I also like a lot but is second best to the variant I'll actually use on a card. I liked the change where you get the spotlight avatar any time you pull the variant for that reason since I'll occasionally pull keys on a week where I already have a variant I like better and end up with what would've been otherwise an entirely useless variant pull. Card backs and new borders and stuff are gonna fill the store down the line too.
