i'm liking this deck a lot, though i feel i'm not getting a lot of use out of angela. any suggestions for a substitute? i'm only a few cards into pool 3 and none of them seem particularly like a good 1-1 addition (adam warlock, drax, goose, human torch, maximus, nick fury, quake, and wong, plus season pass black panther and miles morales). shang chi seems like a good idea, though off-curve also looking for a good suggestion of a destroy deck since that's one of the season missions right now (and maybe just a good pointer to where to look up some solid decks in general)

is Klaw a trap? i get got by him a surprising amount of times on ladder and i think he'd be a reasonable pick to sub into my deck i posted upthread. mostly just thinking about play patterns of getting people in unexpected ways + trying to work around play patterns involving locations i can't play or move cards to. might just be a 'i need more cards from pool 3' situation and i should just evaluate my future pulls

on the plus side it gives incentive to run things other than the one deck you really care about, but on the other marvel snap seems to really like getting in the way of playing the one deck you really care about

gameplans that telegraph what you're doing are tough to be really successful in this game because either the opponent has the counterplay to make it unsuccessful or they don't and just retreat before you go off with it. I don't think that makes those decks bad, just that you're rarely going to pop off with the deck in the way it has potential to do so & being unpredictable or misleading instead is likely a better choice

Megazver posted:Got my first Pool 4 - Maria Hill. Is she, like, good for anything? I can't think of anything exciting off-hand. there's an archetype built around cards like the collector who really care about cards that didn't start in your deck. agent 13, cable, moon girl, etc. i don't think it really pops off unless you have the quinjet to discount them all, but it's worth keeping an eye on edit: here's an example that looks fun, from here

Memnaelar posted:She Hulk in my shop but not sure she's worth all 3k of my tokens when my deck is so crap. Maybe better to save them for 3 wave 3 cards for the options? i think she's a no-brainer to pick up, and a lot of cards that synergize well with her are in the first two pools

it is pretty neat how the meta changes as you go up pools, and I miss that a bit. if you have an all pool 1 or 1+2 deck it should put you back in that matchmaking pool imo

warpath is one of the cards that makes your opponent have to think a bit about whether or not you're bluffing, and i put a decent amount of stock into any card like that given how central the snap mechanic is

Tender Bender posted:I've started just playing cards wherever I feel like even before locations reveal, if it makes sense given the cards in my hand. I retreat at 1 cube often enough that I feel like it's worth it to start setting up my board state for a solid win, enough to risk the chance that site 2 or 3 gently caress me over and I lose a cube. it's a gamble, but i feel like it depends on your deck and how well they can recover from revealing a 'cards can't be played' or similar location (i.e. do you have any cards that can generate cards at that location, or can move to it)

WarpedLichen posted:I kinda quit this game because snapping and surrendering are such a big part of the climb but most of the fun is seeing degenerate stuff happen. snap earlier. if you snap on t5 and your opponent has to gamble between losing one cube because they believe you when you snapped vs thinking you're an idiot and lose 4, they're gonna pick 1.

No Wave posted:It does. i know you've soured immensely on the game in the few months since you've started playing but you really don't have to push it that hard onto other people. i didn't do any CL shenanigans or other fuckery and am at 1186 CL and i've been having a pretty fun and smooth time, even despite having fairly unlucky pool openings. i mainly just try to approach it like i approach other multiplayer games (especially card games) where if i know i'm tilting out i take a break, and i try not to grind too hard after i've finished my open missions so that i don't burn myself out + i advise other people to play similarly

rydiafan posted:It is an absolute fact that the game protects you from the general pool of high CL gamers until you hit CL600, and after you got CL600 the gloves are off. the thing i'm arguing against is the fear of getting ultrastomped by people with all the cards, here. it's a transition point but it's not one that's unbeatable or something to fear, and intentionally limiting your progression is just going to feel worse in the long run IMO. just play the game and learn how to ride out matches and feel out the snap/retreat mechanics and you'll be fine

Ubersandwich posted:I'm getting frustrated with the game especially today*, but I've also come to realize that some of that is the nature of "collectable" PvP card gaming. You are going to come up against people who have better decks and you WILL lose to them unless you are specifically built to beat them or they get a very lovely draw. This style of game is not fair by design, I think that's been the case since first edition of Magic: The Gathering. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I normally don't play the collectable variety of card games for this reason. usually the 'my deck is in a bad matchup' issue in competitive card games is solved by things like sideboards (letting you alter your deck slightly to improve the situation) and playing in best of 3 matches (smoothing out the effect of variance a bit) this game feels like it's designed around individual matches not mattering much and emphasizing retreating out of matchups you feel like you won't win, which is a bit hard to get used to coming from MTG but is a lot more suited to mobile play. I did feel like it also takes a lot away from actual strategizing during gameplay while I was starting out, but with a larger cardpool available to me now that I'm in pool 3+ and more deck knowledge I'm feeling a bit better about that side of the game. still definitely booting up arena to get my fill of more complex gameplay, but I don't think I'm taking this off my phone anytime soon

Tender Bender posted:I agree the emphasis on retreating helps with this but it's hurt by the algorithm trying to put you in mirror matches. The result is you're more likely to be playing "My Deck Archetype plus the cool cards I don't have". Want to try Discard? You're going to be face stomped by Ghostrider Hela until you unpack those cards. And so on. tbqh i feel like that's not as much of an issue as people conjecture it is, but i have pretty strong opinions on people being pattern-seeking in games with variance and seeing signals in the noise, as well as anecdotally i don't see many mirror matches myself across a variety of decks (mainly an infinaut and a patriot one here). i don't doubt there's some sort of deck strength matchmaking that makes mirror matches a bit more likely than they would otherwise show up, but i also know people remember "interesting" games a lot more than they remember the dozen other games that ran "normally" as a rule if you play on PC there's a tracker from https://marvelsnap.pro/ that, among other things, lets you see your archived run of matches and lets you poke at the data to try to confirm/debunk things you've been thinking about how you've been playing and the opponents you're facing. i wish the replays were better, but their data is getting there

Oasx posted:Are there any sites with guides for individual cards? i'm not familiar with any of the other sites, but i do know you can look up a card on snap pro and see what decks people run it in usually your answer is going to be 'the card isn't very good,' but with mary specifically it looks like people run it with cards that either remove the downside (zero, enchantress) and other cards that have removable downsides (red skull, lizard). she also has decent synergy with the hot location currently, since when the symbiote melts everyone together it takes the power while getting rid of the downside

goferchan posted:For sure, although it's a little clunky making her work with Infininaut specifically. You have to play a T4 Psylocke and then float all 6 energy on T5 in order to play them both on T6, and at that point you've basically skipped two turns which can make it really hard to win without a very big Sunspot yeah, i meant it more as inspiration. in early pools i had a moon girl/dino deck that had a destroy package for the early game, and if i picked up she-hulk i'd consider that and maybe death to get some good cheap duplication going

Studio posted:So let's say you're using Sunspot, Scarlet Witch, and She Hulk. i think you're hung up on the effect 'using the unused energy,' which i don't think is an inherently incorrect way to think about the ability but leads to the problem you're having conceptually. i'd reframe it as 'you ended your turn with X mana unspent' and both sunspot and she hulk are just looking at that X for their respective abilities

things i've just found out: if you click the four pane button in the bottom left here in the first image you can set what variant you want in a deck by default by clicking the header above the one you like better. great if you (like me) spend a lot of time editing variants when importing a new deck to try. it even prompts you to replace all the cards in your decks with the new variant when you change favorites
