Youremother posted:I am playing a lot and getting plenty of boosters, it's credits that are the bottleneck for me. I get like what, 300 creds a day from dailies? Most of my cards are at rare level and it takes eight CL to get a new card, so I get a new card every two days or so where I'm at and that's only going to slow down the closer I get to Pool 3. it's 500 (3x 50 from normal missions + 3x 100 from hard missions + 50 free credits from store) minimum, which equates to 10 CL (a bit more once you factor-in the discounted uncommon upgrades, but 50/lvl is what you can count on) plus more from weeklies/if you spend gold to get extra missions it definitely slows down quite a bit once you get to pool 3+ (and progression won't necessarily be steady on a day-to-day basis depending on how levels/boosters/etc. are falling out) but overall you'll make steady progress if you keep playing, and the nature of the game makes each acquisition significant (though obviously you're a lot happier when you pull a deck-defining card vs. something like Quake) LGD fucked around with this message at 21:31 on Feb 21, 2023 |

Snazzy Frocks posted:pool 1 and 2 are good primers but ultimately gets very stale very quickly. what bothers me is i have barely a scratch into the s3 list and if i were to hit 600 then im going to definitely be out gunned if not completely out skilled as well. i'm still trying to sort out these decks im seeing now and where matchmaking has stuck me in these unprecedented times but i can be certain ive never ever seen the portraits these guys have so they been around a while I mean there is matchmaking MMR so even if they've been around for a while you've probably got a reasonable shot skill-wise that won't stop you from occasionally getting blown the gently caress out, but that happens to those people too (most of whom also aren't anywhere near having a complete collection/etc.), and while your odds of making infinite or w/e may suffer for a while, pools 1-2 do give you the tools to do reasonably well even if you have abominable initial luck with your pool 3 pulls (which you may not) imo the main thing is to adjust your outlook a bit, focusing more or learning archetypes/play patterns and snap/retreat timing rather than just trying to grind cubes I mean I'm only mid 800s so take that all with a grain of salt, but I really haven't found the transition too painful/scary at all LGD fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Feb 21, 2023 |

Youremother posted:Finally hit 500 afaik the one card archetypes are usually pretty decent picks even if they're not at their best- i.e. Sera and Destroyer (to be clear: Ongoing Destroyer is weak right now but still okish and basically complete with pool 1-2 cards [with only a few marginal upgrades in pool 3] which makes it a tempting pickup early) after that I'd look for cards played across multiple good decks (Mystique, She-Hulk), archetype-defining cards that are a bit less self-contained/need more pool 3 support (Patriot, Cerebro, Electro, Dracula, Death, Wave, Mister Negative, Lockjaw, etc.), and complementary pieces for things you already have (i.e. if you have Patriot then you're much happier to open Ultron/Dr. Doom and vice versa, and that Red Skull you have looks much better if you happen to snag a Shuri, which in turn makes a card like Taskmaster go from "meh" to "must have" [but not worth going out of your way to get before Shuri]) e: I think this video is a pretty fair take e2: oh and I guess I should point out that Thanos (as another eternal pool 5) is worthy of consideration in the same way (and with the same important "he's stupid expensive and wants pool 3+ support, so probably don't actually pin him unless you've got a big 'ol stockpile of tokens or some of those cards already" caveats) as Galactus since he's the basis of the current Best Deck LGD fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Mar 1, 2023 |

Card games, shooter games, racing games, you name it, I've seen people accuse the bots of hacking. Sure, it happens some times, but most of the time it's just plain bad luck. my understanding is that it's not really an accusation so much as an openly acknowledged fact in Snap - there are multiple types/levels of bots and while the lower level ones play randomly and do stuff that even a very poor human player wouldn't, the toughest ones do absolutely "see" the unrevealed cards you've put down and make their own plays in response to them, so if you try to bluff those bots or do a 50/50 play you'll loose 100 times out of 100 (conversely they're not actually strategic "thinkers" and are still pulling cards out of actual decks Second Dinner put together for them, so if you can put them in a situation where you're winning 2 lanes regardless of what they play they'll default to winning the other lane as hard as possible, and if you get good at exploiting them you can farm the bots up to ridiculously high Infinite Levels) Artelier posted:Does this advice include Shuri because I have her pinned and I just crossed over 3k with Token Tuesday and I can't decide if I should pull the trigger or hold on and hope, iunno, Thanos or Galactus (or maybe Kang) comes into my shop. imo, definitely get Shuri if you want to enjoy her while she's busted- she'll get downgraded eventually, but will probably be nerfed well before then and you should have all the other cards to build Shuri Zero which is one of the best decks in the format LGD fucked around with this message at 02:29 on Mar 1, 2023 |

Jedit posted:If you play Valkyrie in a lane with a Shuri boosted card, the card is set to 3 power, not to 6. So why does Shuri's ability persist after Quantum Realm goes to work? It's exactly the same effect. because it is in fact being handled similarly, and is applied as part of/at the end of the On Reveal process? green/hogoblin comes in as a -X and then has On Reveal effects happen -> it crosses the table, the location triggers and sets its power to 2, then Shuri happens and it sets the power to 4 it's definitely potentially confusing (and they could do a better job making it explicit what order things will occur in without having to just know), but that outcome makes sense and there's nothing "persisting"

Sandwolf posted:If they play Leech on T5 they’re destroying their momentum to kneecap your T6. Leech as is, is fine, imo, and good for the health of the game. Leech being cheated out for 0 energy is highly degenerate though, I agree with that. yeah - I sort of wonder if adding an "if played from your hand" rider to his On Reveal would be enough to fix the issue, since it keeps him viable as a fair tech card and still lets you get him out before t5 via Electro/Wave/etc., but with a much higher opportunity cost + potentially telegraphing the play that and either making the stones count as starting in the deck or adding a "minimum 1" rider to Quinjet would probably do some decent work in toning down Thanos

I'm also at like only 100 tokens so I need some fast. the token tuesdays have always been good thus far and what you should be looking for in terms of gold->token conversion, as it's been (X+50 gold) -> (X tokens + some boosters), for a conversion ratio in the upper 80%'s to mid 90%'s, whereas a lot of historically "good" bundles were more in the 70's (though then you need to account for credits and how much you value variants and blah blah blah) as noted the upcoming special offer is better overall when you take credits (and maybe the variant) into account, but still not quite as good at pure gold->token conversion (700->600 instead of 650->600), so getting either or both is a very reasonable use of your gold

Angela is a flex spot, and the 5 drops could probably be changed with others. I'm thinking of trying it with Carnage and She Hulk. Maybe. Everyone else is pretty essential to the deck, especially Debrii. they're worth trying, but I think those probably are the best 5 drops for a clutter deck like that - Spider Woman is an effective 12 power vs. a lane with 4 opposing cards (which you can pretty much guarantee) so its hard to get much more space and energy efficient, and Aero is considered the best card in the game for a reason

Yeah Debrii is pretty core to those Junk/Patriot lists and is definitely a good pull - also worth noting her use as a tech card vs. Galactus (which has tools to solve it ofc, but that's because they need tools against Debrii and she can still gently caress them up something fierce depending on the timing)

Jedit posted:The people doing the talking are whiners who play Shuri decks. nah, they're both tech cards whose power level means they deserve to be looked at on an ongoing basis, and Shuri decks in particular both run Aero and frankly are less affected by Leech than a lot of other decks (it blows out some of the taskmaster plays but other times you just drop your big idiots and its fine) kind of different cases though, since Aero is just high general power level in nearly any deck and isn't necessarily bad for the game, while Leech is currently at-issue because of a specific interaction with other cards in a particular archetype that heavily reduce the (normally significant) opportunity cost of running it/playing it + that letting it serve as proactive engine protection I don't think most people want to gut either, but it's hard not to miss Aero's standalone strength/applicability, or that a fair 5 energy leech is a pretty different prospect than a 0-1 energy leech accompanied by simultaneous board development

No Wave posted:One of the devs was doing some twitter Q&A today. He said Thanos had one bad matchup, some sera killmonger thing (48% matchup). Shuri had one bad matchup, Thanos (46%). So then they nerf Thanos and not shuri? He also said their internal experts on Shuri were confident that 12 power red skull would be going too far. I just dont rly understand it seems like alien talk to me. Sandwolf posted:It feels like they’re, for some reason, willing to die on the ship of “Shuri is fine and does not need a nerf” and I am flabbergasted by it. There wasn’t a single buff in this round of balance updates. They just did sensible nerds to big issues and then LEFT SHURI DECKS ALONE? what? like half of the changes here were directly aimed at Shuri decks Shuri isn't running a crazy value engine or shutting down your opponents game plan, it was just an accumulation of some of the strongest cards in the game + had the potential to just create too much power for other decks to beat with its good hands, so all these changes chip away at it by making it less consistent/more prone to opposing interaction/less overwhelming in the amount of power generated generating a lot of power is something other decks do well, just not as well, you don't necessarily need drastic changes to bring Shuri down to a range where other things can compete these things also work in combination - i.e. the Red Skull change doesn't really nerf it in isolation, but that's fine, Shuri->Red Skull for effective 22 power (24 with shuri) to likely win a single lane isn't actually that unreasonable (compare to stuff you can do with Dracula, Devil Dinosaur/Mystique, etc.), where it gets broken is with Taskmaster who then adds +30 power to a different lane, this cuts that line down by 4 power and makes it more vulnerable to disruption (via shang, aeroing the red skull into fisk tower, etc.), which significantly increases the chances other decks can compete this is exacerbated by the she-hulk and aero changes also cut down on the decks' power with less ideal hands (and with cards that had been identified as being a bit strong even in other circumstances) all of this might very well not be enough (I think it is likely shuri zero is still a top deck), but it's clearly an effort at reigning the dominant decks in without destroying them - I think it's reasonable to let the meta fall out a bit before crying that the nerfs weren't sufficient e: I am excited for High Evolutionary, strength aside it'll be fun to have something else to do with the vanilla cards beyond Patriot, especially some of the ones that don't usually see play even there LGD fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Mar 21, 2023 |

Zodack posted:Now, instead of having to beat 30+ power in two lanes, you need to beat 26ish+ power in two lanes. Bravo *one lane, and that's with their ideal nut hand, their other draws are also a bit weaker and Aero no longer does nearly as much to bail them out of different scenarios (while new Aero played in opposition remains almost as good as it was) that's still a tall order and you often won't beat that without your own deck having a similarly good draw, but that's true of other archetypes as well (Wong or Galactus when you don't have appropriate disruption for example) and that might actually be fine when you're looking at things on the level of match wins - reduced consistency and slightly reduced power can go a long way towards bringing 60-40 and 55-45 matches back towards 50-50 PlasticAutomaton posted:It's almost like the real problem with the deck is the 4 drop that can give up to it's very possible that is the case, but again that's actually not as exceptional as is being suggested - that all of that quite literally applies to Dracula as well, who often adds quite a bit more than 13 power and is far harder for most decks to interact with than Shuri is, and from a design perspective she doesn't have many buttons to push that don't effectively make her a new card or remove her from the game the big difference between the two is that Dracula really wants to be in a discard shell and can't take advantage of the same sorts of cloning effects, whereas Shuri lends herself more to goodstuff archetypes and imposes few restrictions on deckbuilding (basically just wanting big dudes + cloning effects) - that's why I think the initial approach of trimming around the edges is a reasonable one, because (with the exception of Red Skull) the cards being hit were all already on the border through their own merits (that's also why I won't be surprised if she does eat a nerf even if these changes successfully reign in the deck + targeting Shuri herself was also a reasonable approach, because the flexibility and power of the effect make it likely she'll be a recurring problem)

Quetzadilla posted:Hm shuri just showed up in my token shop which i should probably insta-buy but also I have barely any P3+ cards. having gotten her early and then taken forever to open either Taskmaster or Aero I can assure you that she's quite good even in non-ideal decks, if you've got appropriately beefy boys/supporting elements in your limited p3 selection (i.e. I had Taskmaster/She-Hulk and used Zola over TM) of course if you don't have any of that then yeah, maybe wait, but she's now only really in competition with S4 and S5 cards, so the opportunity cost in terms of "what decks can I play now/soon?" is actually much lower than when you had to weigh deploying tokens to target S3 cards - the choice is really her vs. saving for the perma S5 cards as they're the archetype defining ones, with a few role-players as a secondary consideration if you happen to have their supporting elements already (i.e. Surfer, Darkhawk, Knull if you already have Galactus, etc.)

I think the design philosophy behind her is more toxic for the game than anything else I've seen so far. what "design philosophy" is that exactly? it's a card that buffs your next play, that's pretty darned innocuous from a design philosophy standpoint, the argument is really about whether the value she provides is too much vs. the meta, but since nearly everyone agrees she'd be bad at 5 energy it seems pretty obvious to me that it's about the numbers rather than abstract principles

yeah, the reason to get this season pass is the value of the gold/credits you earn (+ variants if you like any) he's a frustrating card, because he's not actually too far off from viable/good/outright busted if you consider what he'd look like with a power increase or cost reduction, but his need for a significant pre-split buff or multiple splits to even get near to parity with other things you could be doing (i.e. Doom + any halfway decent 5 drop) means it's hard to see him as a player going forward outside chance he gets buffed down the line ofc, but I'm not sure how likely that is because his scaling really magnifies any changes

OxMan posted:I tried doc ocking but even dropping a fat shurid 20 to pull a lane usually loses me the game. For every win with ock there are 4 matches where bringing their lane out just won them the game that seems like a very high risk play generally, like obviously you can completely throw off their gameplan and/or create an overcommitment that doesn't leave them with enough resources to compete in other lanes, but he's still effectively giving your opponents a lot of free energy in a game with tight + deterministic resource constraints, and his timing usually means you're snagging some of the highest energy + power per slot cards in your opponent's deck given that, unless you have intel/good guesses about the contents of your opponent's hand telling you otherwise, I think it's highly ambitious to assume you're not going to need more than 5 power per slot to cover what Doc is pulling down into an empty lane

I already have all the pieces for the standard Galactus deck including Knull, so I guess this is the one I'm leaning towards (even if the playstyle seems a bit rote/repetitive). But I want to know, how are the Nimrod variants? That looks fun to do and setup, but not sure how feasible it actually is. I don't have the Season Pass yet but I got a week to decide. my understanding is that Nimrod currently looks like he's very likely to be in whatever the "best" version of the Galactus deck ultimately is, it opens up some alternate lines/let's you win games you might otherwise not, and, by virtue of being Shuri-&-location-boostable/Destroyer-moveable power you can lay down before blowing up the board, it creates some much-needed ambiguity about when/if/where you're dropping Galactus

Assuming you draw her in opening hand, and Quinjet in opening hand or for turn 2? if that change was made for Quinjet's interaction with any forthcoming cards I'd point to Hit Monkey as a more likely culprit but it was probably exactly what they said it was - a nerf to the dominant Thanos deck in a way that kept cards working like you'd expect them to + future proofing a legitimately dangerous mechanic (energy cost reduction) against unintended interactions down the road

novamute posted:So once I get Kang I literally just slot him into every deck I have right? eh, you can, but he likely makes a lot of decks worse on average - he's actually not costless as he only draws you a card if you can play him the turn he is drawn and being down a card can be a significant disadvantage for a lot of decks I think your deck really wants to be able to do something (or avoid specific things) with the information, so Kang is obviously straightforwardly great in something like Galactus where you need to avoid interaction/information can be a premium and you can easily win the game with only a handful of cards (Galactus himself being a massive source of card advantage), but there are a bunch of archetypes where potential card disadvantage/lack of synergy/etc. means running him is likely giving up some win % vs. another option (Zoo, Patriot, likely Discard, etc.) he also takes up a slot, which often isn't a high cost/can be a benefit, but consider a deck like stock Shuri Zero - is the information Kang is getting you going to win you nearly as many games as having the option to Vision/Captain Marvel into closed-off lanes? probably not LGD fucked around with this message at 21:07 on Mar 28, 2023 |

Mons Hubris posted:My best guess for how to nerf Shuri while still keeping her somewhat viable is just putting a cap on how high she can raise the next card to. Double the power of the next card (max 20) or something like that. Otherwise she's just a more expensive Forge. eh, that's an inelegant and non-natural design, plenty of other ways to do things from the outright wrecking encouraged by the more reactionary whiners (i.e. moving to 5 energy without a substantial power buff) to redesigns that either change the nature of the card (i.e. mega-Forge that pairs with Brood/Sinister) or just breaks her synergy with the taskmaster/zola clone effects (i.e. On Reveal: Double the power of your highest power card at this location [maybe paired with an energy cost reduction/etc. based on testing])

the Sunspot nerf is probably deserved in terms of play rate and what he gives you vs. existing 1 drops, the thing that makes the change feel slightly awkward imo is the (currently on-hold) release of a comparable Series 5 card in Kitty Pryde, who accomplishes many of the same things (albeit with different specific synergies)

flatluigi posted:the thing with kitty is that you do have to keep casting her every time to get her buff yeah she's a different card, which is why I said her synergies differ - she's obviously way worse when drawn/played late, doesn't like locked down lanes where sunspot does, really benefits cards that scale with on-play effects like Bishop/Angela, doesn't do Shuri float into She Hulk, etc. but she still fills a similar role in terms of being a high utility and low opportunity cost 1 drop that smooths awkward curves, threatens more power than comparably costed cards, has easy synergy with other good cards, etc. so while it all makes sense and the Sunspot nerf is probably good in a vaccuum, it just feels awkward to have a S2 card getting toned down just as a 6k token psuedo-alternative is released but whatever, decent odds we'll be playing them both in High Evolutionary decks soon enough anyway
