A deck is 12 card singleton. Players play 6 simultaneous turns to 3 lanes. Winning 2 lanes wins the match. Matches are played for ladder ranks (cosmic cubes) and players can SNAP once per match to double the stakes (max 8 cubes).>What is a card series?Cards unlock in a random order, but specific cards are unlocked within specific collection level (CL) ranges: Series 1 cards (CL 18-214), Series 2 (222-474), and Series 3 (474+). Series 4 (Rare) and 5 (Super Rare) drop through a 'Spotlight Cache' starting at CL500: https://marvelsnapzone.com/spotlight-caches-details-drop-rates-and-card-acquisition-changes>How can I increase my CL faster?Upgrade every card you get to green rarity (frame break) ASAP.

>>487791752WHAT DECKS ARE YOU GUYS USING, TRIBUNAL SUCKS
>MFW still winning with arishem against cassandra and darkhawk
>>487792312Literally any deck, they're pity bots and will autolose to you.
>>487792570You still want to make them stay in by tricking them into thinking they're winning 2 lanes, which is why people have been suggesting Tribunal
>>487791752can confirm it works, just hit the 15m for cass using this method and tribunal>ravonna renslayer>mystique>magik>wave>jubilee>super skrull>iron lad>iron man>blue marvel>sera>onslaught>the living tribunalI played in 1 lane until the second to the last turn never fielding tlt or iman, the best method was myst'ing onslaught or sera to keep from gaining prio and then just finishing the combo for the casserole on the final turn
>>487792570>>487792705then what's a good tribunal deck? I have almost every card in the game
>>487791752FUUUUUUUUUUUCK Y-OU RFAGGOTS ETHIS SHIT DOEZnT; DUKCING WORKD IKILL YOURELFS IHATE THIHS FUCKIGN GAME I HATE SCCOND DINNERI HATE REDDIT GOD FFUCKNIG FADNTREASH FUCKING GAMETRTASASH FUCKING EVENT FUCK EVERHYRTHBINFIBE LOST SO MANY BUBS TO WHAT I THOUGHT WERE BOTS BUT ACTUALLY WERENT THIS GAME IS FUCKING RIGGERD
>>487792705then just use the AnnihiluSersi list from last thread and don't play them until 6 >>487518018
>>487793668
fuck yall
>>487793861kill yourselvessi am so fucking mad
>>487793876thats a good pity abusing deck
y/n?
>>487794338what is that pity abusing deck
>>487794338what is pity abuse? does it work in lower plate like you pity 9x in lowest then highest for 10th game?
>>487794871After retreating 9 times in a row the game always gives you a 'pity bot' which is coded to throw the game so you go all in on it and come out with more than you lost for all the retreats
>>487795523so i just need to retreat 9 times in a row during turn 1
>>487795769yea that seems to be the strat
>>487791752So can you retreat in cereal 9 times in a row, and then switch it to your highest plate for the 10th game?
>>487794507On one hand: It looks goodOn the other: it’s Iron Man. He looks pretty good with anything. So if you have an alternative, they might need the border more.
>>487795769The reason it works in diners is you dont lose your overall bubs, so eventually you will reach the higher tier plates then eventually 500mil
can bots play arishem?
>>487798157no they cannot
Uh...
>>487798405i thought so, doing the pity thing my 10th AND 11th game were vs Arishem players so i retreated because i didn't trust it.
Twitch drop variant.Not bad for a baby variant but im not going to use it lmao
>>487792979>>487791752So are you guys doing this on kebab or ice cream?
>>487799330you do it at the highest plate that you can reasonably do it at; you need to keep in mind the base cost times 9 is how much you lose so if you don't even have enough bubs to play that plate a 10th time then it's moot, and not to mention that you also want to have the bubs to be able to get maximum value from both you and the bot snapping
>hoogland wongoddamit of course it had to be bots
>>487798540Yeah it's not every 9th game for me, it's very 10th or 11th so far
>>487799902*not every 10th game for me, it's every 11th or 12th
>>487799592elaborate
>>487799330Doing on the highest table as long as you can tank the 9 or 10 losses for the big payout I was doing it on cherry pie (250k per loss, every every bot win gives me about 4mil)
>MFW both of us played copycat on the final turn and both had stolen each others shang
there are now some absolute faggots pretending to be bots
>>487801282You have 3-4 turns to gauge out the bots anyway, no need to rush
>>4878019943 turns, retreat by 4, and a pity bot will not snap within that timeframe either
nobody plays, they just try to one up the new game mode, abuse the hot locs, one up the current metai think the core game is decent but you don't get to actually play it much
>>487803320because this game mode is complete fucking ass. its just a long grind during one of the worst metas the game has ever had
Love abusing this shit, thank you REDDIT!
>>487803740i know it's assand like most of their decisions it skews the base game towards retardation even more
aren't the redditors right that if too many people are bot abusing that it becomes impossible to climb with?
>>487805346click the retreat button as soon as you can before the starting animations even finish to have the competitive retreating edge, I've never been out-retreated doing it this way
>>487805346>>487805570if you're on pc just spam the esc key
BRUH everyone is doing it at the second highest table LMAOM
I hope diner stays hanging out in cereal tier and trying out random decks is peak comfy
>>487806347it's so fucking fun to bully the early tables with the cassandra avatar turn1snapping all the arishem players, I fucking love diner
>Pity bot is winning two lanes.>Moves its Vision so it is now losing two lanes.>Retreats.Fuck you, you cheeky prick. Give me my bubs.
>got 500m bubs and spent 30 mins giving them all awayNow i can sleep. Mode was fun overall, High stakes games sure did get the heart pumping
Bros, now that I'm done with Deadpool's Diner it feels like a massive weight has been lifted off of my body. You have no idea how good it feels.
>>487808972come donate to me in the 20k plate in like 45 minutes thanks.
Remember the shills defending SD with their lives for the past two weeks trying to say how the meta was actually fine? Why are they so quiet now?
>>487807615>>487808972I’m still stuck at 10.8 mill and just lost all my bubs. Why does 15 mill still seem so far away? I feel putrid at the thought of trying again in several hours.
>>487809113before and after doc ock leech were put in the most common deck. simple
>>487809245they were both being used in top infinite a day after Arishems release but the shitters never fucking listen.
>>487808972can confirm, I just hit 15m just now getting her and it feels like I'm falling in reverse
My local meta was 90% Thena/Cassandra/Darkhawk lists on the higher tables. I don't think Arishem can really keep up against those numbers unless you get lucky
I ran out of bubs retreating, not a single bot, tried in my second highest bracket.
>>487809906I barely see Arishem anymore after slotting Cass in
>>487791752Worked for me, thanks.
>95mil bubs abusing the bots
Some FAGGOT using a hope avatar retreated and it reset my retreats, then i couldn't afford to get to 10 again fuck
>>487810948Yea I've had quite a few games where people just instant retreated on me since it seems word is getting around about the bots
In case people have a hard time identifying the pity bots:>Avatar, usually a base card avatar of the base series1/2/3 card, never a season pass or an infinity avatar>Faggots make try to bait you with robot guy avatar, stay away>Sometimes title, sometimes no>Names are in English >Card backs are the default Marvel ones, never any season pass one>Their deck will ALWAYS be the base series1/2/3 cards since they're the pity bots, never a series4/5 especially newer ones>They might spawn one of those cards via a location, a stealer card like cable or one of the pity deck types are the devil dino/shield one>I know this to be 100% true because I loki with copycat, it's always the base set of old cardsThe cheating bots might have the good cards, these bots don'tThen they do the usual bot shit>Snap on 4 if ahead>Retreat if behind INSTANT retreat if they are behind in 2 or more lanes at the start of t6True to stack a location, winnning it then play a big card like blob/infinaut to secure a lane
>>487812516Also use a tracker if you're on pc, easier to track how many games you've retreated and see cardbacks instantly (if you miss the load screen) and bots tend to have a quick queue
I think the bundle coming out in 2 days will be the best way to spend gold along with the token Tuesdays
>Want to donate all my bubs to regen while sleeping>Everybody is retreating turn 1
>>487813518kebabs is when it starts to feel like a grind. start with a 'hello' into a 'I'm losing' and just use cards you want boosters for or weak cards to fill up lanes so they feel safer
>Second dinner when they see everyone is donating bubs and cutting into their profits
I love USAgent so much. Nobody ever expects him, and he wins me so many games.
>>487814240>Next diners they inject in the cheating bots
>>4878142403 redditors fishing for upboats won't change shit, spent like 2 hours going between 10k to 400k and all the tables remain filled with tryhards
>>487815317As more people finish the grind I'm sure they will be happy to donate bubs that they regenerate. It will become more common the closer the event comes to ending
game is nothing but tech cards lmao
>>487816543wtf i love marvel snap now
So the retreats are recorded per table, let's say if you run out of your bank while hitting the second highest table and have to go to the one below it, once you reach back up again the retreats still count previously
>>487813084Buff to spectrum/destroyer when?
>>487820571If destroyer was a completely new card what do you think it would look like? I'd say 6/18 "On Reveal: Destroy your other cards. Gain +2 for each card destroyed.
>>487820873With that ability he should be like a 6/10.
>>487821336It's 2024 anon. A new 6 cost card needs to be 30+ power on release or it's doa.
diner's fucking unplayable if you're above 3k cl but have none of the good decks to play
people weren't kidding about how many people are conceding to get to bots
>>487821432Just retreat for pity bots
>>487821782If you're not quick enough they fuck up your streak too
another arishem nigger plays t2 coulson (not generated) t3 card generated by coulson t4 second card generated by coulson t5 alioth (not generated)t6 chi + rogue (not generated)zero cards generated by arishameI gonna delete this shitits hs all over again fucking faggots spinning the wheel and stealing my cubes only due to RNG
>>487822632stories to tell your 40 year old friends at your LCS
>ranked is 99% zemo decks>diner is 99% people conceding within a second of a game startingwell done second dinner well done
>>487791515At last, a normal OP image. It’s not even gooning for the live action version.
>>487824517I didn't even know there was a live action version.Why is she so cute? Lol she looks adorable while comics Cassandra Nova is an old hag.
>>487824517>>487824778The movie was great, loved it CASS A CUTE!
>>487824778That's because, well... the MCU Cass is in fact, not an old hag.
That two mil table, the grind on that one was insane. Once I had enough to reliably retreat on 10mil going up to 500 was quick as
Snap has the worst community out of any ccg
god i love this game
>>487826791Rude
>>487824778>>487825095Her actress did a good job, but D&W missed an opportunity for a funny bit of stuntcasting for Cassandra seeing as how she's Xavier's twin.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYjGlGXhLUk
>>487827816Damn it's been so long since i've seen split, i completely forgot Anya was itMight rewatch this kino..
>retreat turn 3>retreat turn 2>opponent retreat turn 3>retreat turn 1>opponent retreat turn 2>opponent retreat turn 3>retreat turn 2>retreat turn 1>retreat turn 2Having a lot of fun in the Diner !
>>487831013pure fun, isn't it?
>playing a shitty version of arishem>bar with no name mid>gonna snap and doc ock him there>he moves his jeff there>pull his odin, shadow king, shangchi>perfect>next turn he plays copy cat which copied an arishem created quake from the bottom of my deck>end up tying now on the left due to his nebula growing at least>he plays dark hawk on the right completely raping me>i lose all my bubs for the day
imagine actually playing against real players in deadpool's diner instead of retreating against them on turn 1, I could never lmao
>>487833892You and me both brother..
Im glad we got borders, would've only saved borders for the cards i play all the timenow im just spamming borders on random shit kek
YOoo shiiit ma niggas, patch on july30 this weekARISHEM BORDERS ARE GETTING FIXED!!!!!!!
My opponents kept retreating before I could on turn 1, so I just decided to just let them. It's still progress albeit slow progress.
>>487835180Do you play arishem or thanos? Those lag up the animation, i was beating people to retreating when i just played a random deck with no start up animation for the first 8 games
>>487833892whjats the strategyretreat on low bets then queue up bots in high risk?
>Arishem loki'd his hand at turn 5>motherfucker pull a generated blob at turn 6 and made lose the game I threw 3 rocks and black widod'ed the cunt, how fucking lucky has to get that specific card
>>487826791been that way since alpha. the attention seeking is absurd. there were people playing squirrel girl on turn 1 and conceding to get all the cards, then telling everyone how they are great at the game because their MMR was so low that they never faced humans for months. those people are still in the community and would never admit to this.
>>487836389see: >>487791752>retreat 8 or 9 times (8 works for me)>get a bot: like here>>487812516>farm 500mil bubs
>>487835374Neither.
>go into the lower tables and show off my variant cassHeh...
>>487791752Can I do this on entry for 9 times then beat the bot at max table available?
>>487842290it is tracked per table
>>487842290Nah pity are locked per table, so you would need to bank up the bubs accordingly and retreat on the highest table, or farm up bubs on a table belowcherry pie is 256k per retreat, most i got from a win here was about 8 mil, mostly 4milchimis are 1.28mil per retreat, wins here give you 20mil to like 80mil if the bots snaplast one is is 6.4mil, can give up to like 170mil a wini farmed up with cherry pie until i banked like 20mil where i could consistently hit the chimis table, didn't even really touch the final table because chimis was enough to hit 500mil with a bunch of 40mil wins
>>487842870And every hour at the highest bob mart gives you like 4mil bubs? Just a matter of time until a lot of people get the final variant for cass
>>487813084Damn I want that Legion bundle since I don't have that card
wanna cop a rolex but heard they be fuckin wit people n i aint rilly tryna play dat
>>487837382Always play something other than Black Widow against Arishem if you can help it, if they play Loki on the same turn it's a huge blowout
>>487809245this always happens when they release a broken cardpeople that are shit at deckbuilding believe the card is fine for the first few dayspeople at the top abuse the fuck out of the card in 1-2 days tops
>>487846112>if they play Loki it's a huge blowoutftfy
>>487846881>>487809245>>487809113After he’s nerfed, you’ll have to deal with how Cassandra has juiced up Thena and Surfer even harder. You’ll be begging for Arishem back.
>>487812516what's the robot guy avatar? Ultron?
surely arishem is as balanced as loki, aka they'll never nerf himespecially with cassandra on the uptick, right guys?!
>>487847767Fuck the Thena package. That shit is always the same deck filled with S5 cards and the most recent broken card. I am so tired of non-synergistic top decks that can run any tech cards they want. Hopefully the new move cards make move at least playable.
>>487812928>Also use a tracker if you're on pc, easier to track how many games you've retreated and see cardbacks instantlyIs there a way to see retreats with untapped? I haven't noticed. I tend to miss count because I'm doing things on another screen. Also there is now a race to retreat first I won twice which messed up my bub count.
Does the retreat counter keep track inbetween breaks?I stopped at steak had tee few bubs to do all 9 retreats and played some ladder. While bubs regen.
>>487842870>>487843339How long did the grind take once you unlocked the 600,000 floor?
>>487850894it gets easier once you reach the 40k or 80k ones
>>487850894Probably a few hours, i started at 50mil though, the biggest hurdle was getting to the last bub mart and getting to the second highest plateDEFS didn't help that i played an arishem deck that played the animation every time for the retreats, as soon as i swaped to a non animation deck it went back quick, then swapped back to main deck for the bot match
>>487848806Loki is the problem. Other Arishem lists are too inconsistent. He shouldn't transform your hand, or the discount shouldn't last more than one turn.
>>487855317loki shouldnt give any discount at allmaybe let him give +2 power to transformed cards or something else
>5 retreats in a row from the enemy players>actually gaining bubs Can't complain too much
>>487857046Either they nerf Quinjet or they remove Loki's discounts.You can't have those two effects coexisting in the game.
>>487857046That's also acceptable, they seem to have landed on +2 power being equivalent to a one cost discount, which isn't really true in practice but whatever.
Actually considering using a matte black border on Rockslide
Are there any frames that beat matte black for noir? Those are where I was thinking of using mine.
>>487864676Depends on the card
>>487857367Everybody wins!
Hello. I am very tired, tilted, and a bit glad. Thank you for all the tips and hopium, /snap/. 15 million felt so far last Wednesday, and now that’s it’s here, I can rest a bit. May I please know what a good deck for Cassandra would be? I would like to donate Bubs to most players on lower tables in the near future while also bodying Arishem players as hard as possible. Net decking it might be, however, I’m in a semi-vengeful mood at the moment.
>>487869642try this deck kmbest made
