Are the cards with the Lisa Frank "foil" background the ones you get after maxing a card?

At first yeah, but then as you max rank those ones you'll get different effects. Mostly variations on that but cooler stuff like gold or black and white if you're lucky

My brother got a match against someone with the same avatar and one letter difference in their name.

He was very happy there's a Spider-Man pointing emote.

If me and another person play the same card on the same turn and they don't use that emote, I get very upset

Man skipping turn 3 to play the 0 cost Infinaut I got from filling the raft is pretty broken

Into pool 2, CL 330something, rolling with a discard aggro?

Ant-Man
Korg
Nightcrawler
Blade
Angela
Swarm
Wolverine
Bishop
Lady Sif
Swordmaster
Apocalypse
America Chavez

I know I'm waiting on Iceman to replace Korg I think, any other changes?

I’d get rid of Nightcrawler instead of Korg. Kurt’s only really useful with Kraven, Korg can mess someone up royally, especially if Kamar Taj pops up

I kind of like what they’ve been doing with the events so far. They give you some other stuff to do but don’t require a whole lot of you and you get a prize just for participating.
The venom vs carnage one will be a pixel variant card for whichever won and will probably show up next week

Ah, thanks. Am I correct that other than cosmetics/resources, the Miles Morales card is the only actual card reward that will be unavailable when the Symbiote Season ends?

Yeah season passes have so far had one new card and then 3 variants that are tied to them, everything else is available to everyone

I really don't like the other variants in the season pass, but like playing a move deck. Is Miles super critical to have?

Not really no. Like, he’s nice to have, and would pair well with Nightcrawler in another deck, but he’s not a clutch card or anything

What does your deck look like? I've been trying to get a Discard Apocalypse deck semi-workable since pool 1 and it constantly feels so uneven. After many tweaks, so far this is what I'm up to:


code:
# (1) Rocket Raccoon
# (1) Blade
# (2) Morbius
# (2) Angela
# (2) Scarlet Witch
# (2) Wolverine
# (3) Morph
# (3) Lady Sif
# (3) Sword Master

Mine is

code:

Blade
Sif
Swordmaster
Morbius
Nova
Bucky
Sabretooth
Venom
Deathlok
Angel
Magik
Apocalypse

It's just graphics for the card itself, but it increases your collection level which is how you earn new cards

With the new machine world location I’m not coming up with anything much beyond using niche decks (destruction, move, etc) where a lot of cards the opponent gets will be of limited use unless they’re trying to use the same niche (in which case their cards will help you too)

My plan is to leave it empty and then drop Apocalypse there on turn 6

I feel like if you run killmonger you shouldnt run any one drops besides nova. And if you arent running any other 1 drops you might as well run devil dino. And if you run devil dino might as well run sentinel. And then because you need a lot of 2 costs you should probably run lizard and also mr sinister because you're running nova. This is how pool 2 deckbuilding is feelin to me atm.

Nova and Hood

It’s a good time. My primary deck is all one cost cards, +ka zar+blue marvel+ultron. Also Bishop and Falcon but they require more specific things to happen to work well. A poorly timed Killmonger will completely gently caress me but most of the time I win just through overwhelming force as long as I get those big cards

Yep, I just learned I hit pool 2 by running into Killmonger. I had been having fun with a 1 cost Kaza Onslaught Zoo deck until then, haha.

Is there a good counter to Killmonger, or is a deck reliant on 1 cost just not viable once you reach pool 2? At 3 energy he's a small enough body that I don't see if you can anticipate where he's gonna land for Cosmo shenanigans.

Armor and Falcon are pretty much the only defenses

I just hit pool 3, my first card was Gambit. I can't imagine he's good, but that is 10/10 flavor. (he throws away one of your cards and destroys an opponent hero)

I once had an opponent set up Wong/Onslaught/Mystique on Kamar-Taj and then they dropped Gambit in there on turn 6 and completely wiped me off the board

Been trying out a Destroyer deck and it's fun but seems really RNG dependent

# (1) Angel
# (1) Nova
# (1) Zero
# (1) Ebony Maw
# (2) Bucky Barnes
# (2) Armor
# (2) Colossus
# (2) Wolverine
# (4) Dracula
# (4) Typhoid Mary
# (5) Professor X
# (6) Destroyer

My main Strat is to get all the destroyable cards into one lane, anything I want in another with either Armor or Xavier, and then drop Destroyer in the third. Dracula and Zero+Mary are mostly there as backups. Feels like I'm missing a piece though

Wolverine only goes on the board if he's destroyed from your hand, and Yondu only hits stuff in your deck.

Maybe someone who was in the beta can provide more detail, but AFAIK they tested an event that was basically like a gacha lootbox and people extremely hated it. They removed that event, pledged to never do it again, and that they would not be adding any additional monetization mechanisms to the game from here.

Yeah it was spending gold on loot boxes with a new card and a couple higher pool ones in it but mostly you just got credits. It was extremely unpopular, got reversed after like a week and they refunded anything anyone had spent and gave us all the new cards for free (Jane Foster)

I just finished collecting Pool 2. Haven't broken the seal on P3 yet. Is it really as scary/crappy of a grind as I've been hearing? Should I hang out here a while or just rip the bandaid off?

Also, Baseball Bucky is in the shop for me. Does he get a Baseball Winter Soldier with it? It doesn't show one behind him like it does in the collections screen, so I'm guessing no, but would like to be proven wrong.

Emotes suck. I seem to be in the minority but just give me text chat. Ban anyone who is a bigot. Disable chat for anyone who is just an rear end in a top hat. Ohhhhh does that mean you might have to hire mods for your abusive addictive cellphone f2p game? Oh dear we wouldn't want that. Anyone who doesn't like chat can disable it can even be disabled by default if you prefer. Alternatively give me auto mute.

Matches are like five minutes and turns don't take more than a few seconds, who has time to pull up a menu and type stuff out, and the expect the other person to read it? As is is fine, though they could use some different canned responses
