Oh hey just found this thread for the first time. Zabu seems very strong. I've already ranked from 50 to 65. Spider-Man and Absorbing Man is a killer combo.

I keep losing to decks that don't make any sense because I don't see the final play coming. Just lost to pure kazoo whose final turn was... Dracula into Red Skull discard?

Deck owns. Got me to 80 for the first time last season and I didn't even have Maximus. You just dump your entire hand and discard something huge. Here are a couple different versions.

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.

Yeah I just picked up the Max Grecke Doom variant last night which is super sweet, but the Doombots are kind of lame.

e: Speaking of cool variants, I just picked up this Alex Ross IW in a cache today and it might be my favorite card in my collection now: https://marvelsnapzone.com/variants/invisible-woman-02/

If you want to live in a world of pure Zabu hate I think Sandman is probably the way to go. Bonus points if you can Psylocke it out.

I think it's negative points if you can't. They spend their turn 4 vomiting power, you gained 1

This is why I think Rogue and Enchantress are bad options also. If they stick the Zabu you're already behind. From a pure hate perspective I think Sandman is the best option, but I'm more of the opinion that you should just try to beat them out on board instead of countering their plays.

Feeling sort of stuck with my randomly-assembled decks. Where can I go to learn more about the strategy for what I think is still Pool 1 (CL275)?

You are in the land where no one has Killmonger yet, so that means Ka-Zoo is a very solid strategy. As you jump into pool 2, EVERYONE has Killmonger in every deck so zoo becomes a little scarier. Depending on what your early pool 2 cards are, there are some decent movement and discard decks you can build. Early pool 2 is kind of rough though because your decks are very dependent on the few cards you've opened.

My understanding was that MMR was not a factor here, only CL? I know that even at rank ~60 in my 599 camping time, I was seeing heralds of Galactus and such and it's not like I was winning non stop, was a pretty slow climb up to that point (highest was 64).

My understanding was that there is a combination of MMR and CL (and maybe even rank to a smaller extent) that is in charge of matchmaking. I could very well be wrong though.

Pool 3 can definitely be a bitch at first. Even at CL 2400 I'm missing Leader, Psylocke, Electro, Aero, and Death. Try to identify the most powerful cards in your collection and do your best to build around them.

OR just play Spectrum Destroyer because it's mostly pool 1 and 2 anyway and still competes well into pool 3.

Yeah I completely admit I might be biased because Dracula was my very first pool 3 card. I've probably played more Apocalypse discard than anyone sane and just used it to rank from 85-90. If my first two unlocks had been Yellowjacket and Wasp I'd be much saltier. I still prefer this over just being able to buy a collection.

I agree that the feeling after 1,000 is way worse than it is when you first boot up the game. By that time they've got their hooks in you and they know it. As for the second point, the whole game is a glorified loot box. I'd have to see the math on that $250 because I feel like it's only taking into account the whale spending patterns. I spend on the season pass and that's it, so unless you're counting the money value of time, that valuation of a P5 card makes no sense to me.

As a general rule so far, the bundles that give you lots of skins are bad for account progress compared to just buying credits. However, it's your money so if you think something is cool go wild.

The next bundle in the shop is going to be $5 and has 500 credits, 500 gold, and some Jubilee stuff. Seems very good.
The one after that costs 4000 gold and contains a Devil Dino variant with enough credits and boosters to split him twice. Good for account progression. Worth saving gold for IMO.

e: I got mixed up. The DD one comes before the Jubilee one.

Hell Cow is nice but nothing beats Colleen being able to target your Swarm. It's what takes the deck from just ok to actually viable to climb with.

Mystique for Dino shenanigans. Warpath seems bad because you're likely to be playing in all 3 lanes.

If anyone is having difficulty with winning a location with one card, remember that you can concede after turn 3 and still get credit. Just dump cards into one location

Does clash Royale and hearthstone use bots? Never heard of boys until playing this game or I guess I was naive

Don't know about Clash, but Hearthstone has bonus stars up to a certain level (depending on your last season's rank). So you're effectively getting 2-10 "wins" per win at the start of each season.

The specific big cards are really up to collection and taste.

The main thing is Wave lets you go 6-5-6 where Electro enables 5-6-6. You almost never play Psylocke but she can rescue a moment that the other two don’t appear and go ugh-6-6 or 5-5-6.

Doom and Captain Marvel to deal with the various “can’t play here” locations but Vision would be good or even Ultron. Sunspot for if you have to skip a turn.

Thanks, I'll play around with this (no Psylocke or Aero). I kind of like the Viper idea.

If you have Zero and Dracula, you can shove Red Skull and Infinaut into a low cost zoo style deck and it rules. Bonus if you also have She-Hulk.

I don't have zero yet, seems like that'd be the most useful card with red skull.

Interestingly I see very few killmongers anymore. I sometimes play my kazoo deck and I don't even wait til t6 to start droppin 1s because I rarely get hit with a KM.

You could run a list kind of like that without Zero, but it prevents you from dropping Zero-Skull on T6 for 18 power with no drawback.
