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) cards can be purchased directly with Collector’s Tokens that can also be used to buy Series 4 or 5 Snap Packs that are cheaper but dole out random cards from certain pools.>How can I increase my CL faster?Upgrade every card you get to green rarity (frame break) ASAP.

If anyone is having trouble with that 40+ Power win mission, I recommend using that Agent Venom & Spider-Man Noir deck. It’s not super popular so it has a higher chance of scamming big point wins against the unprepared who forgot how tall it can get and are thus likelier to stick around.
Was the Weapon X challenge not showing for this week? I didn't notice it on mobile but on pc I now see it but its at 0 despite using him during the event which worked week 1Reposting cause new thread
>>2129028I think it's a new mission? I remember getting the Weapon X mission during Arena so I think it's just another mission with him?
>>2129028It's showing up on mobile for me
I didn't play this event at all.
>>2129126>>2129696What I meant was I saw the first mission during the first week but I didn't see the second one or even the weapon h missions until after arena ended and its at 0 for me despite using him during arena. It makes me think SD delayed the second mission until after arena was over.
>>2129799um, based?
>>2129799I had 35xp earned at the end. Just not interested at all in working my ass off for progressively shittier rewards.
>>2129825Possibly, they are very petty and probably hated that you could complete it without owning the card
>>2129799You didn't miss much besides the wade wilson card which isn't that great anyways.
>>2129799Fair enough. After the change to glory / charms not counting as experience the modes are just annoying grinds.
What's the diagnosis
NEW MARIA HILL VARIANT DROPPED LET'S GO
>>2131583What's a good border/split for this?
>>2131600
>>2131606Maybe this?
Distressed blue with blue embers is subtle but looks good imo
>>2131608I like this one. The crackle, frame, and background all matching is pretty good
>>2131894Thanks I'll go for that one then.
Pulled Chamber recently. What are some decks for him? Something with Victoria maybe?
>>2132921Yeah. I stole this from somebody here but it's fun.
Maverick, replacing ironheart, will be fun in my noir deck.
post your maverick deckbetter not be surferslop
>>2134203I mean he's the perfect Surfer card.
Alliance Reward. Pretty terrible ngl
Nice, Jean won.
https://snap.fan/news/december-2025-patch/Headpool Gold bundle in February.
>>2134203This is fun
Neat.
>>2134648This looks like a skip season. Maybe Magus could be interesting depending. Do we know what's coming in January?
>>2132938Thanks. Been messing around a bit with a list of my own and I knew I had forgotten some picks.
Is anyone else crashing all the time after the patch
Cool and good
>>2135952Not me. But I've been playing pretty much exclusively on mobile for the last few weeks since trading in for a new phone and the game runs really smooth. Seems to be a pc issue.
>OTA tomorrow then no OTA for a monthhope you like whatever meta they force
>>2134849I found that same interaction. I think it's intentional because of the way his text is worded. Honestly he seems kinda busted lol, really glad I picked him up
>>2135999So it's fucked and they know it's fucked and that's that? Awesome.
>>2136204YeahIt did get better for me after some games but it's messed up they didn't even give people a heads up or anything
>not even 10k views after a daygrimAlso>no verification needed>no valid captchafuck off
>>2136449personally i'm sick of the limited time modes and the thought of a new one to worry about does not bring me any joy. it was better when they did one every 2 months, 2 per season feels awful.
>>2136449>>2136589they're going to burn out half of the already dwindling playerbase if they keep this upthere is no way a new player, spending or not, can keep up with these barrage of modes, new cards and new cosmetics being shoved down their throatswe are desperate for new blood but we don't have anything to offer to them, the precon decks for new players isn't nearly enough
>>2136593sigh, probably true. hopefully the new mode is at least fun. I enjoy sanctum, and custom grand arena was fun, they just need to cut the frequency down for fucks sake.and even though there will always be annoying bullshit in the game, I do think the balance is pretty solid overall right now, so that's nice.
>>2136449This new mode looks kind of shit. The best part of the game is bizarre pairings of cards working together. Forcing these canon teams sucks.
Holy fuck the new update makes the game completely unplayable on PC. Game crashed three damn times in one game.
>>2135952Crashing most games and ridiculous amounts of slowdown, even on menus. Might be my phone being ~7 years old, but it's never been close to this bad before, only started within the past few weeks.
>>2136693It's fucked on mobile too? I thought this was supposed to just be a PC issue.
>>2136730Every chance it's just a me thing since it tends to be on and off, but what I've been getting sounds pretty similar to what I'm hearing from PC players
>>2137000It's probably just you ngl. The game isn't very optimized but newer phones still run the game great. I'm not surprised yours struggles with it
Straight up lying, holy shit.
Bots are such partypoopers..
>>2137328many such cases, they're pretending the bots that snap you on turn 6 and make any play that wins them the game regardless of how retarded it is don't exist
>>2137334I really hate this specific type of bot. Where they're programmed to lose but also programmed to disrupt you and not let your combo go off. It's so annoying, if you're going to lose either way then let me do the cool thing first.
Damn

>>2138475HE is back
How do we fix Jean Grey?
>>2139016-1 costshe comes down too late to matter in most games
Someone did the math, and if you do all the missions and win/lose enough to get 280 points on your own, then you should be able to get both new cards:https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/s/xqGdW86hSi
I kinda like team clash ngl
>>2139129is there a best deck yet? I only had time to play a few games with the avengers preconstructed deck
>>2139136Not sure. Vanilla Avengers seems strong, but the spiders is probably the best if you modify it.
>>2139136Definitely a lot more experimenting to do, but I feel like Spiderverse will probably wind up being the best since you can just make it a generic move deck that gets extra energy once in a while. It's nice that the missions want you playing all of them though, so you won't be running into the same top one or two decks over and over
>>2139166Spiders might be the worse without mod though
>>2139129honestly, it's more fun than I expected. the missions requiring you to play the each of the decks is nice.
Now this is a fun card.
Give me a deck for the event. The bots are draining my tickets for the purpose of simply stalling my progress.
>>2139016Make her a five cost. She deserves to be unplayable.
>>2139470Spiders, but just put in the good move cards
hehe
Best card of the year.Gonna get nerfed to like a 3/2 -5.
>gold pass 1200They must think its funny. At this point just remove the pass.
>manage to get 2 infusions>kid omega air walker>air walker dies to location and pulls an infusion and resses himself>kid destroys him and walker pulls himself back again with the second infusion
I'm 29k..
I thought fastball was 4cost, thus fairly balanced.Lol..
Vanilla Thunderbolts seems pretty good. A very straight forward deck
Game crashing multiple times per gamePlease pay us more money for less rewards though
>>2139470I like this.
>>2140523Have they fixed the PC issues yet or is it going to be fucked until January?
>>2140523yeah the game is legit unplayable lmao
Team Clash PMV
Team Clash got a balance update. Not sure what everyone's experience has been but I haven't seem thunderbolts that often despite SD claiming its the best deck. While its good they're trying to not have a grand arena problem again I do feel like maybe they could have waited another day (surely they don't have enough epic data like they tend to claim). Also Armor seems weird in a deck with wolverine.
>>2140979Anti-Venom is still bugged for spider team.
>>2140979Weird that with Avengers they'd nerf far and away the weakest card in the deck and then one that's solid in most matches but a liability to the point of being unplayable against Guardians
>>2140979I clocked that Thunderbolts was strong. It's extremely easy to play.
>>2138475Cable didn't need a buff, he was perfectly balanced.
>>2141306He got a nerf.Now he's a big loss when you hit him with misery.
Yeah that feels about right
Sokovia 4 games in a fucking row taking out key cards?Fucking go kill yourself, sd.
>>2140979thunderbolts were rly good against clueless precon rollersavengers are the best overall even after nerfs. also the most powerfull tribe poolx-men are the weakest by far due to the worst core cardsguardians are ok but the tribe pool is mehspiderverse is good and versatile but requires brainpower to compete with avengers
>>2141791X-Men can be strong but it requires you to draw your engine cards (hope/prof x/jean) without whom the deck falls apart.
Login PMV. Pretty trash
Just so you guys know mystique does not work with team clash cyclops. She'll copy his ongoing but won't actually gain power. 0 testing for what should be obvious synergy for the deck. Even worse when you consider the mode got updated
>>2142263copying cyclops does work, it just can't be the last turn of the game because it only seems to "update" when you get energy, ie at the start of a turn
>>2142286Yeah I looked into it and saw that its actually working correctly and its just written poorly. SD says xmen is bad but then does shit like this to make cards worse than they should be.
Triple Mr.Fantastic deckVery powerful
I am probably gonna buy the pass this time around, this mode got old real fast after people started playing clog and a LOT of tech cards
>>2142938SD is pretty stupid for not anticipating that clog would be good when they purposely made cards that benefit you when you're losing
>>2142938It's likely worth it just for the card you'll get. Just to get it out of the card pool for later pulls. With enough points left over to maybe get a variant. It is bizarre how minimal the ban list was this time around.
They finally fixed infusion.
>>2143303Have they fixed this for Dormamu too? I know he used to get fucked if Wolverine or X-23 rolled back to the same location.
>>2142938I bought it because this holiday week is a bit busy and I just don't have the time to knuckle down full f2p like I did for the last couple of events.
>14-15 fucking cheating bots in a row all 1 cube retreats>finally gives me a retarded bot>retreats t6 even though it's winning 1 location t6So fucking boring.
Glenn was the one who put armor in the xmen deck lol. At that point just put caeira instead as sunspot protection without hurting wolverine. Its not like there's only xmen cards in the deck (Jim).
>>2143590glenn fucked me at my local mcdonalds (i didn't cum), nice guy.
>>2143590what a civilian world it is where elektra is MVP of the mode
>>2143884Really makes me wish they'd just show the data. It often feels like they're playing a completely different game to reach these decisions.
2nd PMV from team clashHappy with this one
gambit + wild child is a legit compact combo holy shit
Hand is still too strong
>>2143964child cares about something of yours being destroyed though? like yeah its good but you still need a destroy enabler to make him a 2/9
>>2144226Misery + hood
Yay, not sure how useful this will be but hey it's a free card.
>>2144106yup>>2144226my bad I've only been playing him in the x-men deck where wolverine destroys himself, you're right, he needs more support
>>2145334Cute.
Finally Ego wins me a game instead of fucking me
aurora seems pretty busted in thanos decks
>>2146498She's a namora card. They're desperate to make her popular, probably some movie in the making.
>>2146498>>2146502they are cluelessat this point they just gonna throw random shit and watch what sticks with the remaining playerbaseclash was the best ltgm they made in years, yet they fucked it up with outlandish glenn comments and retarded hotfixes w/o any actual support now, when players accumulated enough valuable statsthis game is doomed and I desperately search for good replacement
Is zombie galacti bugged with affliction locations? I buffed him with jocasta+maverick yet he landed into necrosha as 5-3 and didn't have any buffs in the buff list
Aurora worth a buy or nah?
>>2147825she's strong but extremely telegraphedI bought her coz in a couple of days every fag will play some fotw deck with her
Took me like 14 retreats to get her off. Meh.
>>2148275So I imagine she's situational at best then? Wasn't really considering picking her up but I was curious since she's going to be in the pool eventually.
What's Aurora's deal? Is she an elf?
>>2149380Mutie
Why the FUCK is this guy playing Galactus? Legit feels like a fucking bot. Nothing until turn 4, then Shuri > Black Panther > Galactud
>>2149464I know there's a wacky deck that uses shenanigans like Shuri/Symbiote SM into Fallen One to get a bunch of energy and go >Galactus>Fastball Special>Adamantium Infusionon the last turn to get you
>>2149464some shuri nimrod decks use unexpected galactussy too
>>2149464Well it caught you didn't it? The trick works. Sometimes. I've seen some of these before though they would usually do more to try and sell the scheme. Like trying to bluff with Warpath or Wong and some other buffs. Or just load up on Nimrod like the other guys said. There was a little theory crafting too after Hellion came out too. I'm guessing he is also packing the usual Arnim Zola as well as a back up plan.
>fight against xmen >feast>star brand craterI don't know how people can argue against the game being rigged when events make it even more obvious.
>make a homebrew>30+ games of retreating because everything fucks me over
Merry Christmas /snap/!
Get fucked nerd
Sex
>>2150611Merry Christmas
>>2149928I know that feel too wellit's funny, deckbuilding is more enjoyable than actually playing the game almost always
freedom at last
Rugpulling shit left and right with the surferbait galactus deck.
>>2153135Post it
>Won a Gold Conquest game against an Annihilus deck with this
>>2153962based
>>2153704
>>2151853How do you farm these events now, when the progress bar was tied to the currency it was ok but now it's insane the amount of farming you have to do to complete it.
>>2155253He bought the pass, which typically unlocks 50% of the track without even playing the game mode.
>>2155275It doesn't even unlock that much anymore. Not since they made the change to experience that fucked the whole mode. Now it's about a tenth at most.
Fucked up how this variant came out when i didn't have Jennifer Kale, and then i bought her like two days after and she never showed up and has never been in my shop ever. I really want to buy it, fuck you SD
>>2157531they should call these NETFLIX variants
I miss the pegging weirdo and green goblin guy.
>>2159049hope maria hill enthusiast and cpt marvel enjoyer are still with us
>>2159128I'm still here. I post everyday, I just crop my name out of my screenshots most of the time.Here's Eson/Valentina fucking me over
>>2155253I really liked playing x-men so that made the grind easier
>>2159267Fucked up to put this over Christmas where I was busy as shit and couldn't play at all
>>2159267I went in thinking X-Men was the weakest deck, then I realized basically no one ran location changers so I could play Magik without fear then vomit out 50 power turn 7 with Warlock
This was a fun mode. I hope some of these card design ideas in this mode make it into the rest of the game proper. Or they finally get rid of conquest and replace it with a rotating selection with Team Clash as an option.
>>2159420Unironically a good idea. I'd probably actually play this over conquest.
Which cool decks use Elixir?
>>2159745Zola Panther if you either ramp into Panther and Zola with Luna Snow or use Magik.He can go into Firehair decks too.He'd be better as an activate which is weird to say but true.
>>2159745loooool
Anone else trying out Fantomex? Doesn't seem amazing but I've been having fun with him. Gambit feels even higher risk slightly worse reward since he can hit afflicted enemies, just barely squeaked through this after he hit their -5 Ravonna
>>2160015He seems too involved for a not amazing ability.I'll wait and see. Hopefully we get a Lady Fantomex variant too
>>2160015only brew I had some decent resultson paper he is good rate but his deck comes out a bit subpar if they give him smth like -4 to any card on lane or extra 2 power mby I'll keep trying coz deck gimmick is actually fun
>>2160532>-4 to any card on laneBut then he's a worse Danger
He's so needy, but at least it's a full package now.
Confirmed that getting borders in alliance 3 weeks in a row was on purpose. Apparently the devs will go into detail about this after vacation is over. People need to really push back not just on this but also the fact they purposely pushed out an update where they KNEW the game was crashing way more just to go on vacation. Imagine actually supporting a game like this where they purposely make things worse before disappearing. Its even more scummy since less people would notice these things due to the holidays taking attention which was probably second dinners intention to get away with it.
>>2159898>>2159936Did I cook hereI tried V.Hand and Zola stuff but this one felt the best
>>2161118I've for sure interacted less with the alliance stuff over this. I don't give a single fuck about mystery borders.
>>2161210Not sure what Maria is doing here, but I see the idea with the rest of it. Just doesn't seem to put out that much power.
>>2161286If I had something like Silver Sable I would use that instead but I guess I could try swapping out with other 1 drops
Namora is fun
>>2161325Does the deck Include Maria hill
>>2161412It can it's actually not a bad plan. Back when we had pre-nerf Shuri I'd try to make Maria Hill as big as possible. It was fun.
>>2159267The payoff to TC Spider-Man 2099’s quest was so middling both visually and in terms of power, but I still liked going for it for some reason.
>>2161210There's weird destroy builds you might want to try.
Happy New Year /snap/!
>>2162139Fuck you.
>>2162151
>>2162139Yeah!
>>2162139Happy New Year!Hope everyone will abandon this game in 2026 (including me)
This is a dumb deck lol
Login Reward.Weird that I didn't already own Proxima but I'll take it.
Wow Marrow is actually mad annoying holy shit
>>2162700Running her and Fastball Special I've been actively looking forward to seeing Carter
I've never seen a private collection level before
>>2163118I've seen it a few times now. Not sure when they added, but it feels recent.
>>2163118Why would you even need to private your collection level? Why would this ever be an option?
>>2162691Friggin’ clankers.
New shop code.
>>2163851Thanks
>>2163851
>>2163851Good variant on a mid card.
>>2163851didn't work
Jessica Jones3/4+2 each turn you spend not playing on this location.
>>2165253It's case sensitive
>>2165407Thanks!
>>2165898>>2165952Mariaest
>>2165952Some odd coloring on her crotch
>>2166373it's to reflect the massive boost
with some more pack luck I could be (temporarily) f2p complete in another month or so, my token count keeps getting past the minimum necessary to get all the cards that drop into collectors pack after 2 months
>>2167578congrats. I started in the agent venom season and bought every season pass and a gold pass until the f4 first steps one when i decided to go f2p. i'm seasonal s4 complete and sitting at 26 locked s5 cards in those seasonal packs. I haven't purchased a "new" card since surge came out, but i don't really mind. i'm slowly working my way toward being at least seasonally collection complete even if it takes another year. this drive is really the only thing keeping me playing desu.
>>2167739i am mistaken, i meant the collectors packs not the seasonal ones. that's where the shiney new cards go
>Place my cards and end turn>dare to click on a card >game crashes>reconnect>All cards in hand and turn immediately ends>LoseHappens way too often
the game desperately needs draft mode
Remember this hilarious joke
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7TVxuEQ_8git's up
I wanted Marrow fuck
>>2169900I'm just glad it's not a one archetype season
>>2169913FUCK
>>2169900cards I'm interested in this month:>7 energy dragonthats it
>>2169900I wonder what the original plan (it probably wasn’t the D&D one they went with) for the January 2025 skit was before Trump won.
>>2169928>>2169913Deafening Cord isn't bad. These are both something usable. Though it does suck when the game seems to give you only what you don't want.
So this season is going to be kitty and thena, great.
>>2170814everything but merlin/wiggan slopI just cant
StopHe's already dead
>>2170814Well Kitty fucking sucks so you should be happy about that>>2170963Kitty + Wiccan + Merlin, lets go
>>2171295RIP
>>2171295Has he even been doing anything after the shield stopped being a 1 cost and it stopped working with Cull Obsidian? I guess now that means he can vomit out multiple shields at least? Is that any thing? Do we know if he can move each once per turn or is it just move one shield per turn?
>>2171311you'll probably just crash the game
Did they fix the game crashing constantly on mobile yet?
>>2171312Ah another Madam Web situation where you have an instant game crash button. Classic Second Dinner. And knowing them it won't be fixed for several months at best.
>>2171295does this mean he can summon multiple shields with wong or kamar taj?
>>2167578got manspider and zombie giant man in the same pack so I saved at least 2000 tokens, let's fucking go
At least the splash screen looks good
It appears we might be getting extra custom card slots
>>2171372That's nice
>more rehashes of existing characters Reminder we still don't have a proper daredevil season while there's an ongoing show. I can't imagine this somehow brings out more money.
>>2171373Don't speak too soon, the fact they're not available right away probably means we'll have to pay for them
>>2171380Oh come on, don't need to be pessimistic
>ctrl+f on the new patch page>"crash">0 resultsAlright
>>2171379I wouldn't have expected Juggernaut to get a retrain. Especially not before someone like Captain America or The Punisher. Or some variant of cards that are already fine but could have different options like Iron Man. Why Juggernaut? I don't imagine this version of him would have much variant potential so I'm not sure I see where their focus is here.
How much of a difference does this realistically make? Is this the first time they've done this?
>>2171421It is the first time yes
>>2171326Yes
>>2171421Probably a big difference actually. Character mastery was fucked and super hard to get to max level.
>>2171443True. It always seemed like it was near impossible to get mastery stuff through splits without doing a comically stupid amount of splits. While paid variants would sky rocket you there with ease. Maybe this will mitigate that a bit.
>mystery borders againWell alliancs are useless now
>>2171510I remember when they said that they would explain why all the borders once they got back from vacation. Guess they're still on it one fucking week into the new year!
>>2171525Motherfuckers just get a month long vacation. When do they actually fucking work?
>>2171527Is second dinner a secretly Swedish company?
????Custom cards are always at the top of the variant list???????????????????????
>>2171664He's either lying or is stupid
>>2171311>Has he even been doing anything after the shield stopped being a 1 cost and it stopped working with Cull Obsidian?I still used it in my Thanos deck alongside Strange as a way to discount Mockingbird and give Strange another card to merge with. Sad to see it go, honestly.
>>2171679I used it in my Agamotto deck as a free unit to turn into other stuff with Images of Ikonn
>>2171295Now he gets countered by tech niggers running Stardust too doesn't he?
>>2171773Not like he was gonna do anything if you played him after turn 5 anyway
>>2171793True enough. Just thought that maybe he'd have some usability with some goofy Wong setup which would mean playing him later.
>>2171295He's the only thing that got nerfed this patch? Was he really that much of a threat to deserve a nerf now? Is there a card in the coming season that works really well with him or something? Or I guess it's more likely there's a card that would replace him this season.
>>2171947>Is there a card in the coming season that works really well with him or something?Lockheed is a really obvious/important target for Red Guardian that could've been hidden behind the shield 100% of the time without the change. Other than that not really. Lockheed and nu-Shang Chi's rings are the only cards this season that aren't on reveals AFAIK.
>>2171959Weird. That's unlike them to nerf a card to hurt upcoming cards. I would have thought they'd buff them instead to entice people to buy the pass or the card.
>>2171354it looks very queer
>>2171527>>2171531commiefornia
>>2172002Ive lived in California my whole life. I don't get that much time off work.
PRIDE2025 in the webshop
>>2171295We realized that starting with a free card that can give you 2 power every other turn when you find its activator might be strong so we had to stop that, anyways please buy the new card that puts a free card in your starting hand that gives you two power every turn after you find its activator
>>2172013Thanks for the heads up anon.
Got DotM and wingbeat from the same pack, my account is saved!
>>2172183How do you guys always get 2 cards in one pack? I know it's possible but it's NEVER happened for me.
>>2172194It's not just you. I only ever got it once in a seasonal pack. Every other time it's just been a random card and some boosters.
I had nothing to play this on
SDs prebuilts are starting to lose it..
BING BING WAHOOKAPOW SWOOSH BIMBAMBOOM
>age of apocalypse cardsIt's impressive that they find new ways to power creep.
Fucking cunt bots, whoever programmed bots to retreat, at SD, needs to hang.
>>2172395It really is the lamest fucking thing. If there has to be bots at least let them be something you can farm from and get stupid combos off.
This cook smells good.>>2172471I don't think any other game does this.
lol everyone needs to gather at the round table to explain why we keep getting borders. This shit is so disgusting. I can't believe more people aren't speaking up.
>>2173104Griffin once again caught with his pants down, guy never has any idea what the fuck is going on internallyGenuinely terrible at his job
>>2173104Trying to come up with an excuse for fucking us with no lube again.
You used to be able to edit your deck from the deck selection wheel but now you HAVE to go into your collectionThis fucking company man
Did IWFS really need another card that just wins a location alone on turn 6?
>>2173305titties
>>2173305It's weird seeing another double it's power card in the same cost as First Steps Human Torch. I don't really think we needed another. Unless they have plans to hit him in some way.
>>2173305Booba
>>2173305yeah I'm thinking this replaces havok or thena
it seems my funny double dragon brew isnt similar to metadecks with shoulaowhat a good time to climb ranked with a rogue deck
That's an easy buy
>>2171415For sure. If only Cap and Punisher were ever a horseman. I am more surprised the most famous horseman Angel didn't get the rub.
>>2175209Do we know if he's not getting a card? I don't remember most of these horsemen cards being posted about before hand.
>>2175448Why would datmined cards be posted before hand?
Ranked variant.Dog shit
>>2172194marketing
>>2175604No what I mean was i didn't remember seeing the data mine for those. Though I may have missed a week or something.
>>2175209its kinda funny how they already have daken horseman variant in the game
>>2175077Great variant. Shame it's on Agatha though.
ezekiel is more fun than I was expecting, guessing where he's gonna move next while playing surtur skaar is pretty entertaining
why didn't this guy retreat? I snapped on turn 4 but this was the most obvious zola of all time
>>2176222Sometimes I don't snap because I don't think they have Zola.
>>2176222Sometimes people bluff snap. It's risky but it's a strategy. Maybe he thought that was what you were doing?
>>2176069Agatha is good
I have to admit. Current meta might be the best since agent venom release.Too bad they wont gut fucking merlin for good. make this shit like 4-7 give two spells.No, fucking glenn will buff some move cards and make swarm 2-4 or even nerf shulao. COZ DATA you know
Lockheed is annoying
>>2177499To be fair move is bad right now. It can't even compete with ramp for power. Realistically what Glenn will nerf cards like scarlet spider and other decks in the shao deck to avoid nerfing the season pass card until next month.
>>2177684Move is the best it has ever been.
>move is the best it's ever been>3 cost human torch>into the most shadow king heavy the meta has ever been
>>2177499Why would you think Merlin needs to be hit of all things?
>>2177806the best 2drop in the game by far. extremely versatile and gives you a lot of resources - manacheat/location manipulation/card transformation. It synergises with EVERY midrange deck and also works as a backbone for those decks.Its almost a year since release and NO nerfs at all. even fucking sam wilson was nerfed several times.I can argue post-infinite share of decks with merlin must be dominating and wr with merlin played probably goes to 60+ %/ but glenn only pays attention to data from up to 75 rank
>play points deck that's good against tech>opponents: COMBO COMBO COMBO MY NUMBERS ARE ABSURDLY HIGH YOU EITHER TECH OR LOSE YOU FUCKING NIGGER>play tech deck that's good against combo>opponents: POINTS POINTS POINTS I DON'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR TECH WHY WOULD EVER PUT THOSE SHITTY LOW POINTS CARDS IN YOUR DECK YOU FUCKING RETARD>fucking hate playing combo more than anything elsethis might just be my breaking point
>>2177971It's almost as if the matchmaking is forcing 50/50 winrate and has deckweights and counters.Don't play to win, ever, just bingbing wahoo and do your fun combos.
Well about to get my butt kicked in the tourney that is happening today. Running a move aurora deck just for shits. 50% of the decks in the tourney are the season pass card.
>>2178288I'd have run a juaquin iceman deck with super adaptoid and like SK, bast+AV, ironman. Maybe even spiderpig.
>>2178295First match vs Mr. Negative. I'm toast unless his draw is awful
I won somehow. Thanks to bad draw from my opponent
Completely spaced out and forgot to check in on 3 round so I'm just dropping since that is my second loss. Deck was bad into the shao matchup.
>>2178288There was a tournament today? Well good luck anon
>>2178846At least you tried
Since when does hulk have 14 power?
Finally got two cards out of a pack.Too bad it's fucking Mad Thinker's useless ass.
100% of my opponents today have been shao lao good stuffif they don't nerf him I'm qutting the game, there is LITERALLY no reason to keep playing lmao
>>2179597The power creep in this game is insane lmao
I just noticed the Bazaar is on steam now. But it's $20? Wtf wasn't this free when it was on it's own launcher?
>>2179518He got buffed somewhere back in December. A lot of the old effectless "normal monster" cards have been power crept hard so I guess it was about time he got a buff.
>>2179546Ajax is a pretty big pay off to his strategy so it's good to get him. Getting Mad Thinker means he's out of the pool so that's a plus at least?
>>2179597seems like skill issueshulao midrange often loses to nimrod decks and practically guaranteed lose to zombie galacti/negative/tltthis season really shows how retarded most of the player base is, fucking vhand players cannot count and eat shit/wwbn same/anni decks dont know about prio etc.It feels like I was handicapped for six months and now can play actual points deck instead of random roulette gamba
>still can't randomize between favorite customizations between matches
>>2179986>seems like skill issue>shulao midrange often loses to nimrod decks and practically guaranteed lose to zombie galacti/negative/tltby this logic I demand every nerf to hela be undone since people can just play stardust/cosmo/goose to win against it, if the game is supposed to be play this specific combination of cards or lose, then I want my fucking deck that was abusing this first
>>2177971>finally decided to bite the fucking bullet and play a combo deck>10 matches in without facing a single shao lao deckwords cannot describe how much I hate SD
>>2180079Now try and play a series 1 only deck.
Spider-Man Noir worth a buy?
>>2180455He is a good card in one specific deck. Like a more expensive Agent Venom.
>>2180030sure, I was talking about decks and you try to argue about techshulao is hard countered either by sk or by shangsk was all over the meta of the previous season, so again you're not only deflecting my point but overexaggerating too
>>2180652A lot of what Shao is doing is turn 6 stuff so you are either throwing priority to use SK or doing IW stuff. You really need cards like Super Adaptoid or CGR to get at Scarlet Spider-Man to try and counter the dragon.
>>2180652your argument is>X is ok because you can counter itmy response to that argument is that I want my cards that got nerfed back, since they had counters as well, there is no deflection happening here, you're just unable to justify why some cards had to be nerfed even though they had counters
>>2179986Except they always run Cosmo and Merlin so no Galactus, Nimrod, BP or any Limbo play in generalPeople think Shou Lao is for combo decks, it isn't, it's a midrange that can output combo deck numbers and it's filled with tech
Being f2p this season has been the most miserable game experience since the Surtr seasonI just uninstalled, the sunk cost from 60$ wasted in old season passed kept me playing but enough is enoughI'm in the main alliance, name starts with D, not sure if I'll come back after they gut Scarlet Spider in a few weeks and the dragon after the season ends so feel free to kick me outBye bros it's been fun
Bruh
>>2181081Iron Guardian = Red Lad
>>2181066sure, its shulao problem merlin is the best 2drop in the game for 11 months at this point and singlehandedly cockblocks all magik deckscosmo is extremely uncommon and protects only 1 lane>>2181050your argument was "shulao is broken", if you're based solitaire hela player she had like a month w/o nerfs at her peak, so it's funny you can't take new meta for a week
>>2181081Red boys time. You trying to finish either album?
>>2181346>your argument was "shulao is broken"yes and stating my argument does not refute it, you have to explain by your own logic, why nerfs happen to cards that have counters>she had like a month w/o nerfs at her peak, so it's funny you can't take new meta for a weeknow who's deflecting? you still haven't explained why she had to get nerfed in the first place since the deck had counters
They honestly should change Wong and arim zola. Not because they're broken but because they form an extremely boring play pattern. No one ever does anything interesting with them. Oh wow Wong plus iron heart...or gambit...wow you used zola on a big guy! Its just infinity boring and forces you to rely on tech slop to beat them rather than proper engine cards. Its also probably just annoying from a design perspective to deal with them.
>>2181465I can't wait to Wave-Fin Fang Foom-Zola guys!
>>2181457she hadn't counters before stardust introduction
>>2181673no bro she had counters bro you just had to goose a lane and then correctly predict the 50/50 on where they play her bro she had counters bro
Aurora is so awkward. Multiple shields was far more potent.
>>2181700I dont know where this is going. You make no sense. Only butthurt
>>2181673yes she did, I played a deck with goose, cosmo and alioth to counter her but she got nerfed anyway
>>2182051>Dude if you just play a 1 in 3 shell game with cosmo/alioth that requires you to have priority against a deck that has premium power on everything then you can totally counter hela!Fuck off. That shit was always bullshit cope and you fucking know it jackass.
high voltage could not have shown up in a better time, I'm not touching this shitty dragon meta for an entire week
Dragon lord is gonna be fun with ab-man, gm and ssurfer.
Man, forgot how horrendous this event was. 1 game and I just straight up bought the card with gold.Lame animation.
This deck is a wild ride, so much fun when things pop off.>electro>blink pulling dragon lord which pulls hulkling odin which pulls galactus>blink blink which pulls infinaut
I feared evil gooner left us. But it seems he just found out ramp stuff
That's an achievement to tick off.>>2182848Ramp is on a whole new level with dragon lord.I am consistently pulling out 50+ power and it's absolutely hilarious to see the AI manipulating the game to make me lose. I haven't laughed this much in over a year playing this game.
>>2182879Also, lockjaw swapping to himself bugged the game and made jubilee pull a copy of herself(it was not a visual bug).
>discard bot has discarded apocalypse 8 times by turn 3 just to even come close to my potential power
Highly recommended.
>>2182729>Lame animationHonestly this is the one I have the biggest problem with. They've been fucking up other things but the animations had at least been pretty decent so far. This one is just bizarrely simple.
>yeah so alliances aren't popular >we want to rework them but don't have the time and power at the moment (they don't want to give better rewards)>we don't believe better rewards are a solution (they don't want to do anything good>so we'll actually nerf them (fuck you)>we'll just give out those rewards in different ways (they won't and already didn't)I truly hope from the deepest parts of my soul that everyone who works at second dinner kills themselves. Go fuck yourself if you actually put in effort collecting bounties because other people didn't lmao!
>claims the Christmas rewards were where the alliance rewards went>this means they technically did nothing for Christmas LAUNCH YOURSELVES INTO THE SUN
>>2183620If they don't feel like increasing rewards would increase engagement, fine.But that doesn't explain why they would decrease them.If you want to lower those rewards to increase them elsewhere, that's also fine.But that "elsewhere" does not currently exist in the game so the end result is that you're just making the game worse to play now.
>mystery borders againGo FUCK yourself.
>>2183635>>2183620This is so stupid and doesn't even make sense.>We want the rewards to be out into more players hands>So let's fuck over the players who were committed to alliances so they don't get anythingHow does that work exactly? Seems like you're just putting them into less players hands than anything.
>Portal pull Wave and Giganto aren't event exclusiveGood, even more reason to ignore them and just grab the packs
>>2183635and they wonder why the game is losing revenue
More borders yipeeeee
>>2183840It's baffling how they don't realize what they're doing fucks the game experience. This level of incompetence has to be intentional.
>>2183620>we realize that reducing the rewards in turn reduces engagement>and we've stated that we're reducing the rewards BECAUSE engagement is low>>>yeah we don't care. eat shit and die, people who care about us maintaining any architecture we've established. also conquest still exists.
>>2184142>also conquest still existsThis is still a massive mystery. Why the fuck does this mode still exist wasting space and why the fuck is it still the only way to get infinity profile borders?
>>2183620Things they could do to "improve alliance participation rate">on first login after a new conquest week starts, prompt players to get some missions>assign some default, easy missions at the start of each week ("play cards" or "draw cards")Things they have done:>reduced rewards for the people actually participating and further discouraging the "unengaged" playerbaseJust fucking once I'd like to see a dev team that doesn't actively shit itself
>>2184012There's a theory going around that the marvel license is too expensive for them to renew and they want to kill the game so they can move on to their own original IP.But if that's true then who the fuck would ever want to play anything from SD again after seeing them fumble a game that made $200 million in its first year.
https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1qb55m9/high_voltage_progress_and_rewards_math/In case you were wondering shop prices are massively inflated making pass pretty garbage since it doesn't give you much
Put that on this game's tombstone
>>2184222Yeah I've heard that idea before but I have trouble entirely buying it. Having access to the license for Marvel is still massive. It's an easy buy in that a lot of other games wouldn't have. No other game they'd make have such a big natural buy in like Marvel would. Unless maybe it's some big name anime shit. So much so I don't imagine why they wouldn't try to make the most of that license and riding it as hard as they can for as long as they can. Intentionally killing the game to make another just feels like ruining a pair of expensive boots someone bought you and then demanding they buy you another pair. Like why the fuck would anyone buy into that after they after they saw you ruin the first? But few other things explain this level of intentionally shit planning. Shame too because the gameplay is still good mechanically, but they're fucking it every chance they have.
>>2183620>>2183635lmao you faggots are still playing this game and probably buying passes.
>>2184532I haven't bought a pass since Galacta I think
Nice vfx.
>>2184632But nothing when combining..Another card for aurora I guess.
Now we're gaming.
Also potent.But lol cerebro.
>>2184661Lin Lie ends up a Cerebro 2 piece. What a unexpected development.
>>2184667Yeah when I first saw the card, I didn't pay attention to the swords cost and power, thinking it was like captains shield.Sparky and cap wilson should be changed to do a similar combo for cerebro.
>>2184532I have never given them money.
I'm actually seeing people defend shou by saying Negative outputs more power so shou is fine. Negative needs to be drawn early to do anything while shou can be drawn turn 6 (75% to have drawn him by that point) and still pop off while if you draw Negative late you fucking kill yourself. Like yeah if you play some Wong combo deck with magick you'll out muscle every deck in the game but no wong deck is actually top tier, why is that? Oh its because we don't judge decks by max output when the stars align but rather by actual practicality. I swear snap players are the dumbest mother fuckers ever. Its like whiplash hearing discussion in other card games and then going to the mouth breathing nonsense from a snaptard.
That was fun.
>>2184737God that Noir looks fantastic.
>>2180008>>2184763One of my favorite variants. Wanted ink and black crackle, but red turned out great.
double hipp from hv shop blegh
>>2184728its not like you need both shu and scarlet spider/maverick to get the nuts
Mhm.
I face like 17 bots and 1 player in the course of a few minutes.I face the same player over and over and it's a guaranteed loss because it's his turn to win.This is how I can tell why. (lost 9 power in hand too)
>>2184292I bought the pass because I wanted the free series 4 card as fast as possible so I can stop playing the game mode, I think it was worth it for me
playing rescue at 3/5 in high voltage feels like one of the better 3s in the game actually.
yay
So what are we playing in HV?
>use a colorist other than kinnaird>quality of card art is instantly improved
>>2185623They did that with some of the new cards this season and its hilarious how everyone been saying how good they look. I'm glad respect is being put on mello now.
Counting to one is really hard
>>2185487every card has had its moments except for helion but I don't know what to replace him with
>>2186087Jubilee or Zemo
The ressurect archetype is my second most played after bounce, and I have no idea why hunger is put into it with autobuild..
Oh my god I just realized that the 1cost doesn't need to be played at his location..
>>2186711yeah I'm thinking he's Angela powercreep
>>2186795Definitely.When I thought he had to have the card played on his location, it was ok, balanced but tad too strong. He's definitely getting nerfed to that text, maybe even 3cost.

>>2186960Wow, it's absolutely nothing.
>>2186960incredible
>>2186960Clea buff. Let's fucking go. Even if it's fucking nothing all around.
>>2187421Since they buffed Clea we should all get Flames of the Faltines in our hands...haha.......lol....................
shou lao needed to go to 5/6 at least... gotta make 10 bucks i guess
>>2187444That's happening After he's available to everyone
>>2187444and he should not count spells
got marrow from the HV seasonal series 4 pack and I think it ended up being a good outcome deafning chord would've been a lot more useful but since I'm f2p I can just wait another 2 weeks to get it, it also means that next month I'll have every single weapon X card which is neat since usually series 5 and series 4 collectors packs are desynced by 1 month
>>2187773Marrow is secretly really fucking good.
Jfc.
>>2187905She is surprisingly good. Got my opponent's Marrow a few times from Daily Bugle and she more than pulled her weight. Hoping to pick her up soon from packs or if she ever shows up in my shop.
>>2188227New Havoc buff flash bangs the opponent.
>>2188227Kind of reminds me of when Blob used to keep the combined split effects of the cards he ate. Wish they had an option to keep some of those layered effects.
lol that's a rough overdrive effect
THIS META IS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSFUCK SHOU LAO AND FUCK COMBO DECKS
I only buy variants that makes the character white.
PIECE OF FUCKING SHIT ASS GAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTOP BEING PROGRAMMED TO RUIN THE FUCKING FUN
>>2189930We love our black queens around here pal
>>2190032Every day I more and more miss old Rhino. Being able to just completely shut down a faggy location at any point was so useful.
>>2190097danger isn't black
>want to have some fun with my various homebrews>15-17 games of 1cube retreats because I get countered or bots/players get perfect locations and it's a guaranteed loss>swap to my deck that gets wins easily>get into a position where I can actually snap with confidence >i play dragon lord left t4>bot plays morph mid which hits my blink>blink then swaps the bots white queen with its leader>leader copies my dragon lord left>the bots dragon lord pulls my copied grandmaster >grandmaster hits the copied dragon lord>copied dragon lord pulls my copied heimdall midThe revelation of how advanced the bots can manipulate your deck actually made me tear up. Didn't matter that I still won. It's so fucking scummy.
Lin Lie is such a bad card that has a lot of power but it not worth the effort.
is there a way to build surtur skaar to not instalose against shou lao?
>>2190759Put super adaptoid in your deck.
>>2190769anything else? I can make space for another tech card
>>2190781Cosmo if you have room for another 3 cost
>>2190790thank you
>>2190251She has dreads, she is spiritually black.
>still cant web sling and madame web
>>2191607Madame Web is always going to be just short of breaking the game it seems and it looks like they'll never fix that.
Never been so close to quitting the game holy shit
>>2192190this game is strange lol, on the contrary i have been having so much fun this season, i even completed the event pass, new cards are broken but absolutely bonkers
