Super-Skrull popped up in my token shop, so I spent all of my 6000 tokens on him. I have no idea of what to play around him though.

Ongoings seem really inconsistent w/r/t movement. Is it Ebony Maw who if he moves, his aura remains where you played him?

I am the Wong Lover, one of us can only lie, and one can only tell the truth.

That said I wouldn’t spend tokens on any wave 3 cards, personally. You’ll unlock them sooner or later, better to save for the bigger stuff imo

On the other hand, those 6000 ones will likely become 3000 in time, and the 3000s will make their way down to 1000. Other than She Hulk, I'm not sure any Series4/5 are worth getting now ahead of working to complete your Series 3. Completing Series 3 comes with the bonus of getting more tokens as your continue up the track (I think we're talking a couple months for most people though).

The various fan sites have all of the data mined variants listed if you want to see what's current/future-ly available. Here's Hulk for example: https://snap.fan/cards/Hulk/

Taco Smart Hulk is pretty great (and not yet available).

Rogue is in my token shop right now. After lucking into Sera and Psylocke earlier in my caches, I'd be a fool not to buy her, right? 1000 for her feels pretty nice.

I bought her for my Sera Surfer deck and it's been great (yes I'm awful at knowing when to snap).

I think Sandman is pretty good in an Armin Zola deck, especially in a multi-card turn 6 like we seem to be in. Sandman t4, Dino/Panther t5, Zola t6.

Also the Zola/Panther/Dino deck I used most of last season is still letting me climb without too much issue. The only changes I made to the one discussed here was taking out Hulk and Spider-Woman to add Killmonger (get rid of those drat squirrels and raptors) and Sandman.

If there was an option to pay to not see a Patriot deck against me ever again I’d strongly consider it

Since they're probably playing Blue Marvel on t5 so they can Ultron/Doom on t6, it's usually easy to know where to play your Enchantress/Rogue.

canyonero
Aug 3, 2006
I just assume every Patriot user is going to put Mystique down next to him the next turn (t4 if things are going well for their draw), so Enchantress gets double value if you don't have priority. It seems like most zoo type decks tend to have priority since they have some power everywhere early.

^ I think it works to complain about a card here and get it in your shop or next cache. So I also hate leader (and Wong and Debrii and Juggernaut and Ultron).

I blew my only tokens so far on she hulk, and I haven’t been disappointed.

Finally crested 80s with my bad surfer list, Rogue is doing a surprising amount of work against Dino & zoo today and people keep snapping into like Sera > Rogue/Wolfsbane/Surfer on Sinister London. Still missing all of the other good pool 3 3s for a real list though.

Sitting on 6k+ credits at this point, I think I might be done farming at this CL.

What's your Surfer list? Without Juggernaut and Debrii, I feel like I'm at a big disadvantage. I did pull Rogue though.

I think I've mentioned this before, but if you're running certain ad block apps (NextDNS for example), some of the inbox rewards, news, etc won't appear 100% of the time.

This thread and the subreddit are a lot more negative about the state of the game than how I feel. I see Leader now and then, but not very often. I don't mind the progression mechanic, even though I'm missing a lot of the series 3 cards and spent almost all of my tokens on Super-Skrull right when the store launched (big yikes). I go on bad runs and get annoyed, but I think it's helpful to relate this game to Texas Hold 'Em tournaments. There have been lots of poker nights where I spend hours folding to bad cards and getting pissed when the 2-7 off suit I folded would have been a full house, but whatever.

Anyway, I love Hazmat, Luke Cage, and Wong (Hazmat got yeeted by Aero and killed by Fisk Tower, but not until she did her thing 8 or 16 times? I'm bad at math.

I’ve seen Ego three times and I’m CL 2050. He plays awful but I’m 3-0 there (2 games we both immediately snapped, the 3rd I snapped and my opponent waited until t6 to retreat, the coward.

Unrelated, the best feeling in this game is Rogue stealing a critical Ongoing from an opponent to get you the win. On the other hand, sometimes she steals Armor.

Yeah, gently caress Ultron, there's very little you can do about him.
Maybe I get lucky and the board state is in such a way that hitting him with Aero disrupts something, but more often than not, it's just "lol, you lose.

They need to revise their "policy" of cramming every new location into nearly every game for 2 days when it's a location that makes cards hard to even play.

I think it's healthy and helps develop new (micro) metas. You can play a low cost deck for a couple days to better compete on Morag. Or don't! Who cares. Rank barely matters. Complete those missions and move on for a day.

Somewhat unrelated, the complaints about a single match being unfair (bad locations, Agatha, Ego being bad at Snap) completely weird me out. You're encouraged to retreat in this game. Do it a lot, like you would in poker. If you played more than 50% of your hands to completion in poker you'd lose all your chips so fast.

Finally got there... I spent all month failing with surfer decks and leech ramp decks but then I switched to a good deck and it was smooth.




The Red Skull is a troll slot it can be anything (it should probably be nightcrawler or leader). The two best cards in the game are Aero and Cosmo with priority.


EDIT: Just saw the new avatar! Funnily enough I got the last one from complaining about Yogg Saron so much back in 2017.

Any suggestion for a Maria Hill replacement? I get she feeds Dino more cards, and 2/3 isn't bad for curve either.

The one complaint I have is that variants for combo cards don't give you a match variant so White Tiger gets a great new card but her spirit tiger doesn't.

I made the mistake of buying Super Skrull when the token shop first opened with all 6000 of my credits.

But he does a lot of work in a Negative Zabu deck. Rogue steals Zabu’s power? Skrull gets to copy it back. Oh and now I can use your Sera power too.

Just fyi for anyone else considering doing this: do it. Stop at 590. After that the game doesn’t give a gently caress. I’m immediately going up against folks with all variant decks that are maxed out, cards I don’t even have a prayer of getting for months (Darkhawk). Just loving stupid. Why don’t they have this on a sliding scale. It’s very frustrating.

The matchmaking is dumb, but it seems to use your recent record (or cube gain/loss?) and ranking. So if you're in the 90s, that's factoring in. Rank barely matters. Find fun ways to lose like Wong-Mystique-Hazmat-Odin when you forget you didn't drop Luke Cage this match.

Lots of public libraries in the US have good omnibus/graphic novel collections too - make sure you check out your local one.

Also, https://snap.fan/ (and the other sites I'm sure) has an app that can track your Snap card collection. You can then go and see which Pool 3 cards you're still missing. I'm down to just 15 after playing since launch (October 18) and have probably only missed a handful of dailies. I've paid for the 3 season passes (real money), the Apocalypse bundle (too much real money) and the Sunspot bundle (gold). Just posting this in case anyone in a similar spot is wondering how long it'll take them to reach 100% pool 3.

The only "deck defining" one I'm still missing is Cerebro, but I'm also missing some important ones like Red Skull, both Thors, and Ultron.

The Pro Bundle not having an expiration timer is the only thing that annoys me about it. It's going to be there forever. The Primal Masterpiece bundle variants are pretty nice looking, but I'll save my gold for a bundle with tokens. Maybe with the patch we'll see some data mining about upcoming bundles.

tbf I think hardly anyone runs Odin in Surfer lists because it’s generally worse than 2-3 3 drops on 6, although I guess seeing Surfer on 5 is a bit of a tell

I run Odin in my Sera Surfer Magik Hazmat deck because you can drop any of the 3s (now 2) plus Odin (now 5) on t7. It's the best case scenario of course. Wong - Hazmat - t6 Odin is enough to win most matches though if you can get Cage down earlier. Lots of "ifs" here, but it seems to work more often than I'd otherwise think it should.

Don't worry about the combo that you can't stop. If you see Wong and you don't have an answer, Retreat. Also you won't win every match. You won't win 50% in all likelihood. Stop trying to win every game and you'll get less annoyed, rage-y, or whatever causes people to want to throw their phone at the wall over a card game with cool pictures. Snap well and earn cubes when you can, bail when you can't.
