It helps tremendously to translate the costs from gold to real money. They want either $9 or $12 per variant. You really wanna drop :10bux: on a jpg?

sure, if they're giving me a buck or two every couple of days from the weekly quests then i'll cash in on a shiny .gif since it's not like i can cash gold out either

I went ahead into pool 3 and finally got over my ranking hump from the past few days to clear rank 70 running my own zoo/swarm (the playstyle, not the nazi made of bees) number and have run into maybe two or three Killmongers and only one that actually made a difference in the past 24 hours. It's very easy to get people to prematurely smash down a few 1-drops thinking they're cutting out the footholds when actually the entire ladder is still in my hand.

Also Nova+Carnage is just gross on Cloning Vats. I love it.

This deck loving rules dude

This is extremely close to a control deck I've been doing work with for the last week through pool 2/early 3. I ended up dropping Carnage for Scorpion after a while (Nova getting anything off of Skillmonger is just a nice bonus now and aagain), and I run Shang Chi and Emma Frost over Star-Lord and Groot, with Hulk as a finisher over Professor X; it's a lot of answers to a lot of problems and you'll usually know if they work by the time you're really snappin' off. But I love the Guardians theming narrowing down their drop locations by doubling up storm/prof and I might try out this style of the deck in full.

Also the best thing about running Agatha is that she literally won't allow any other card in your deck to get boosters at the end of the game.

I don't think I can do much with Debrii until I get Patriot at least, or with Electro until I get Zero (but I'm open to suggestions for pool 2 decks + those cards), and Black Cat seems unplayable (but same), but Daredevil seems like a top tier pull.

Debrii is definitely a solid add to standard Kazoo decks if you enjoy playing them/can avoid Killmonger saying goodbye to your little friends, since she's a more solid body than Squirrel Girl and throws in some clog-your-opponent lanes fun too.

Best deck is still kazoo, you just have to accept you auto lose to killmonger

slam down squirrel girl and snap smugly on turn one or two, emote a thumbs up maybe

then when they hubristically reply with killmonger immediately on turn 3, punish them by spamming out the rest of your stuff

Yeah the only downside of Mysterio is if you throw him in a deck with no benefit from the extras, you gain the benefit of ~mind games~ but also clutter up your own board with crap. If you're not going to flood every location anyway it's not much of a downside.

Daily Mission refreshes give you exactly the same amount of Gold per Credit cost as just buying Credits, but also gives you Season Pass XP; so if you have the pass, buy missions. If you don't, it doesn't matter.

Had Valkyrie in my shop immediately after the update. Easy come, easy go, tokens.

And then opened Luke Cage on my first cache.

Been having a lot of fun with a toxic deck now.

Scrap Dragon posted:

Oh neat, it looks like a lot of the variants now tell you which artist drew them now.

Anyway, I've got Luke in the shop and his ability seems... not that great? Are there a bunch of Series 4 cards that reduce power or is this just for people who really hate Spider-Woman?

Running Luke, Hazmat, and Typhoid Mary can let you get up to some stuff. I'm doing that along with Blue Marvel and Debrii and have pulled off some bullshit; drop Typhoid Mary anywhere when Monster Island spawns to dodge and use up the Shang-Chi. Use Debrii + Hazmat to throw -1 Rocks onto Sanctum Santorum or an Iron Man square. It could definitely use some more power-downs for perfect synergy and the deck I'm using doesn't feel complete by a long shot as I continue to tweak it, but people aren't expecting a lot of the stuff you can do with it at the moment. Having most of your board dinged down only to drop Blue Marvel and Luke back to back can be a surprising board-wide power swing.

Importantly, Luke works exactly like Colossus; your cards can't have their power reduced from any source. Lizard now has no downside. Scorpion does nothing to your deck. Any of the negative zone / sewer locations are free bingo. He's much better than he seems on paper, but he does still feel like ne needs a bit more support to be more than niche. Luckily it's a very fun niche.

I'm guessing the next bundle won't be $100, that was the really expensive one they put out first to make the $60 one look like a great deal.

The next bundles are in fact 5000 and 6000 gold according to datamines, with three more that are "cost unknown" and so presumably just paid with regular money.

I worded that poorly; Aero doesn't grab priority by herself: she's just a card that excels when you have priority. So you want to be dropping big numbers early, then using her to mess up their late game plays.

Locations can also not play cards.

Except for Vormir which will play your card and destroy it if you send it to your opponent’s side.

I am a very consistent game.
