They knew what they were getting into when they put themselves in Disney's pocket. The lesson they take from this is not to be less greedy, but to be more subtle with their schemes.

I wonder if Marvel is forcing their hand and making them put the game out sooner than the team planned.

I'd really like if they added some way of buying cards outside of your current pool with gold. Maybe make the offered cards random and limit purchases to three per week.

Why does cyclops exist and is there a chance they make him playable?

I feel like every other card is somewhat playable except for him

It's always possible that future cards can make vanilla decks (decks with many effectless cards) more viable.

They're also adding a new free currency called Collector Tokens that can used to buy randomly appearing cards from the shop. I assume the cards can be outside of your current pool, so even new players can get their hands on some pool 3 cards without grinding. Devs have also said that after collector tokens are added, they will start adding a new card to the game every week, which means that pool 3 is going to start growing pretty significantly.

I think it would be cool if they considered adding more voice lines to some of the rarer variants. Could help sales too.

I really hope they add a draft mode that can be played by paying gold. Would allow new players try more cards sooner and give a better alternative to refreshing missions with gold.

Does stalling even make any difference? I thought the matchmaking tries to match similar CL players with each other, so even if you're early pool 2, it's not going to match you with someone who has almost finished pool 2.

Am I the only one who thinks that the pixel variants look really ugly? I don't have anything against pixel art in general, but these seem particularly low effort.

What are the limits in constructing a deck?" I tried to fiddle around with it and got one of those warning/error signs but no explanation as to what the error was with my desk construction.

I think it is bugged somehow. I've had the warning symbol go away just by exiting and re-entering the deck edit screen.

One UI thing I'd like to have is when I hover a card above the board, the game should hilight all the targets/affected cards. For example, hovering Kazar would hilight all my 1-cost cards, and hovering Enchantress would hilight all the enemy cards with an Ongoing effect.

I just hope they're not too stingy with it. A f2p player should be able to craft at least a single card every week.

Turn 1 infinaut is pretty good if you have one. Might as well run shang chi to counter similar moves by your opponent.

BoldFace
Feb 28, 2011
The problem with additional card draw is that with such small decks, it would become too easy to get your combo pieces. That's why they more often opt for "draw a card from your opponent's deck" or "get a random card" kind of effects.

There's a lot of weird inconsistencies in this game. Like Kraven can get buffed even if no one moves to his spot due to a full location.

I think Kraven gets buffed even if someone on the opponent's side moves to his location.

I don't think there is a clear boundary between pools like many seem to think. Late pool 2 players can get matched against early pool 3 players.

One thing to note about pool 3 is that the collection level rewards will improve in a future update. Currently, Collector Caches have 20% chance of dropping boosters which, frankly, are worthless. They will be replaced with Collector Tokens which can be used to buy new cards from the shop. It might be better to hoard your credits now close to the 5k cap and only advance your CL after the update happens.

What are some good decks that use Jubilee, seems like you need something top-heavy and able to endure RNG.

Getting out of pool 2 has been an absolute slog. Finally did it and my first pool 3 card is...rhino :negative:

Also finally got up to CL40 after going nowhere in the 30s all weekend. Between seriously bad rng (seriously had more than half my kazoo games ruined by drawing all my 4+ cards first and never getting ebony maw until t4) or bad locations (had a game that was straight death's domain -> negative zone -> sewer system) or bullshit plays by opponents (everyone else had at least 2 pool 3 cards to my...none) or enemies retreating the second I snapped (had one opponent retreat before the Killmonger animation even finished), it was a really bad weekend.

Rhino is a pool 2 card, so don't despair yet.

Are there any other themes? I can't think of any beyond the GOTG cards I guess all the Iron Man type cards/locations buff power levels, but that's just three cards. You've got the two goblins who fly over and subtract power I guess?

There are other Wakanda cards that are meant to buff cards in your hand like Black Panther.

I'm not seeing any support for Black Panther. Is he really worth it for just 8 power at 5 energy?

So it's best right now to not redeem any CLvL rewards until the update drops, correct?

I'd say it's another case of pointless minmaxing like trying to stay in pool 1/2 longer than necessary. Whatever you choose to do, one or two months from now the difference will be negligible.

I think we're finally starting to see what the real business model of this game is. It's not about selling cosmetics. It's about selling priority access to the newest cards which will gradually become cheaper to obtain as time passes.

The first two pool 3 cards are guaranteed drops, not caches. There's not really any reason to not collect them right away.

Aren't variants also important for progressing collection levels, especially if a variant of a card you use a lot any way?

No. All cards with gray borders can be thought to be worth 25 credits. As far as progression goes, spending 700 gold for 25 credits is not a great deal.

Nothing big but I hate balance changes that are just tinkering around for no reason like the Angela one. "She's not overpowered, we just see people use her a lot so we're nerfing her just because."

Reserves aren't supposed to contain boosters anymore, right? I just opened one after the update and lo and behold, 20 Beast boosters. Bug?

If there was a cache or reserve you could have opened prior to the update but chose not to, it can still contain boosters and cannot contain series 4/5 cards. All future caches/reserves you unlock by increasing your CL will not have boosters.

I've heard many good things about the Lockjaw-Dracula discard deck, so if that doggo shows up in your store, don't hesitate to pick it up. Lockjaw is one of the few archetype defining cards, so it's good to have in general.
