I am just a few cards into Pool 2 and just pulled in order Storm, Infinaut, Shang Chi, and Killmonger. Time to scroll back through thread and see what cool stuff I can make now

I'm currently down to my last card of Pool 2, second to last was the Ebony Maw, the card I'm waiting on, Killmonger.

You only won the left lane. You lost the right lane. You tied the middle. You won the game because 64-13 is a bigger win than 19-18

It's the total power, not the lanes that were won/lost that are compared.

64+15+18=97
Vs.
13+15+19=47

I just got to pool three, just got Killmonger and every match I am getting plowed under. Looks like my old friend Dino is doing me dirty.

What is your Armin Zola deck that you're using if you don't mind?

Also, what is the strategy for Zola? I've been using Black Panther/Spider-Woman with Zola, but to guarantee that I had Zola hit the target, I'm left with only a 6 drop 0 power at one location?! That doesn't seem right.

I saw this as well when it launched and was super confused. I didn't think the art was anything stunning, and I was thinking why the hell would I buy a variant of a meh card instead of getting something like She-Hulk?

I had Knull (sp?) in my shop, so I pinned them, but I'm sitting there thinking it's going to be ~6k tokens, and I have 600. -_-

So I'm just coming back to the game now, after a long hiatus post launch. I'm at level 3,077 so I am not 'new' but rather back and don't know the meta at all.

From what I gathered, updating my Death deck slightly seems to have 'fixed' it. Removing Red Hood helped Knull a LOT!

quote:

(1) Deadpool
(1) Nova
(1) Yondu
(2) Bucky Barnes
(2) Carnage
(2) Wolverine
(3) Killmonger
(3) Venom
(3) Deathlok
(4) Shang-Chi
(6) Knull
(8) Death

Anyone have any other suggestions for switching out? I want to get X-23, and have close to the number of tokens needed for a new Series 5, but I've been messing around the last day or two and I'm not that lucky. Unless it was a newer card and I'll be waiting a while for it to come back around post-season pass?

X-23 is coming up in a Spotlight Cache in a few weeks if you don’t mind waiting. It’ll save you the tokens.

So does this mean that I should be trying to upgrade my level to the Spotlight cache ASAP, then stop upgrading until the cache updates, and crack it then???

The whole spotlight cache is actually new to me. When I quit the Token system was JUST implemented, yet I have ~5k.

That poster was talking about saving four caches for the x-23 availability in November, but they didn't know there was also a window this coming week.

Well drat, didn't know the spotlight chest generates on open, not on unlock. Games like hearthstone and wow do the opposite if I recall.

I only unlocked one spotlight since playing again, hopefully I have another soon!!

Oof course on the reset I get X-23 in my token shop. As I'm at only 5.2k I pin her, then go and open my one spotlight cache.

Can someone explain how America Chavez being on the bottom of your deck is a nerf? You're still getting it on turn 6, you know that you're not drawing her until she can be played, so you get your other stuff first still?

Unless there is just another nerf incoming that I am missing? Her being on the bottom of the deck seems irrelevant, but I guess I more just don't understand why that is even being changed.

Aside, I played a lot near the launch, and just now got back into the game. I had no idea that there were different Infinity Split effect options! I had thought it was just a progression system where you first got the rainbow foil ( The only effect I think I've seen on my splits? ), then the like orbiting comet, etc.

I thought I had previously split like 3 times and then couldn't split anymore once I had gotten it to Infinity. Was this a change in the months following release?

Now really, this could just be me being bad, up until this past season, the top level I would get to was early ~20's. This past season I finally broke into mid 40's and I was pleased as punch.

Generally, if a card is a 'when' ("When you play a card here, swap it out" - Lockjaw / "When you fill a lane" - Elsa), it's not an ongoing.

When it's a "while" or a continuously updated calculation ("while this is in a lane, other cards there have +1" - Captain America / "Has +2 power for every card in your hand" - Devil Dino), it's an Ongoing.

We have On Reveal, and Ongoing, not having one for a triggered ability seems like a mistake.

I believe there was a site where you could see the top meta decks and load in your collection in order to see what decks you had access to and such? I've been looking around Google and not finding anything that stood out like HSReplay did for Hearthstone for showing the current Meta and recommendations :(

Mostly I just see aggregates of every random person on the internets current lovely deck.

From what I've seen, apparently a destruction deck isn't considered very good, but it's served me pretty well the latter half of last season, and I'm doing well'ish this time.

For the first time I got to Gold in Conquest and was doing well until I got blown out by someone with ridiculous luck on his combo. He did mostly nothing, and I forget the combo enabler, but it was dropping Modok on Turn 6, and having Hela revealed after (Was it a Magik turn 7)?, but he just revived all his big hitters, Infinaut and the others that are just ridiculous cards you can't play multiple of generally.

He beat me once being cocky for 8, then I whittled him down to 3 cubes, and finally he won with another luck draw to get that combo and I had nothing I could do in response. :(

you may have been hit with the invisible woman modok hela play - invisible woman stops cards from revealing until the end of the game, so you can tuck a modok behind her without worrying about modok discarding hela, then tuck hela in after modok. if you do that, then when the game ends both cards will resolve in sequence and let you dump your hand and revive it without risking hela

This is exactly it. Across 6 games, he got it twice.

I feel like I need to update my old as poo poo go-to decks. I have a Devil Dino deck that was made like... 2 months after release? I'm noticing a lot of people recently making GBS threads on Aero, and I noticed she wasn't as cool as I remembered, so I gotta replace her out I guess.

Is Devil Dino really a deck anymore? I haven't really seen it on my climb using Destruction ( Which while it can definitely get screwed, is a ton of fun ). I just today removed Hulk Buster for Luke Cage as I have been frustrated by all these decks that are running the unlock abilities dude ( High something ), and the stuff like Hazmat/absorbing man/odin combo which really poo poo in my cereal.

Hulk buster while amazing if I can get it to hit Deadpool, is not as consistent as just using Forge, especially when it's a turn 1 play now!

E: Checked out Untapped.gg and apparently I have all the pieces for Shuri/Sauron. Guess I'll be looking up some YouTube videos on how the deck plays. Outside the obvious Sauron, Shuri into RedSkull I guess...

For those upset about the discord credit card requirement, take a look at privacy.com; you can generate a one time use credit card with a $1 spending limit and won’t have to worry about cancelling the subscription later.

Honestly worth it even if you don’t care about the variant. $15 worth of gold for $5 is one of the best deals they’ve ever done.

Both of these are amazing points. I bought the bundle for the title, love destroy, so the Deadpool boosters was a good boon. I completely discounted the gold as being included, but yeah, I should have seen that.

Trying to keep at 4 caches for Dec. 1 for that sweet sweet Jeff though.

On the topic of gently caress it, just bought the battle pass even though I'm not super into Ms. Marvel because I get annoyed with gaining levels and not being able to claim the rewards.

I mean, you joke, but that's without any support. Shaw with support like Nico, and Forge will increase his stat line significantly. WWBN needs a deck of on reveals, and if you don't have any destroy effects, you can fill lanes and not have him able to move rather quickly.
