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.

Any beginner tips?
>>29448091) This is a good primer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpurtyrW4Zc)2) Do not spend tokens on Series 3 cards as you will get them all for free by just going up the Collection track3) Do not spend tokens for Series 4 and 5 cards right now as, Provided you log in every day for the next few days, you will receive two ready-to-play (if not necessarily meta) decks with Series 4 and 5 cards, as well as Gorr the God butcher, as log-in rewards. These free decks will give you Cassandra Nova, Ravonna Renslayer, Loki, Victoria Hand, and Valentina for free along with a number of Series 3 cards4) Infinite is a meme, though getting to at least Galactic will get you 500 Gold each season5) Do not spend Gold on Boosters or Credits. Gold is best spent on unlocking the premium reward tracks of limited time game modes if you don't think you can get the reward card for free or on Series 4/5 Gold Bundles, and on Variants6) In the event of both players having the same amount of locations under their control, the game will determine the winner based on who has the most power. If the power and location control are equal, it will result in a tie7) Tying in a Limited Time Game Mode counts as a loss for both players8) Log in on the web store every day for a free 100 credits if you feel like
>In the event of both players having the same amount of locations under their control, the game will determine the winner based on who has the most powerShould change this tie breaks are determined by who's winning by a wider margin because this wording always have people scratching their heads when it comes to bar with no name. I know a nothing burger overall but I see it brought up consistently with new players.
Play eternal card game instead.>campaign>PvE gauntlet mode>multiplayer casual or ranked>draft against AI or other players>monthly draft tournament>incredibly generous f2p model>pinnacle of digital-only CCGs>ex-Magic devs
>>2945351Does it have Carol Danvers in it
>>2945351Had a good time with Eternal like 10 years ago
>>2944809Understand who play first by checking the name of you or your opponent, if your name glows then you are gonna act first and viceversa, some cards benefit from being played first or second.You don't have to learn now, just give it a peek every once in a while
>>2945351>>2945410I thought I never played it before but it turns out I did boot it up like 10 years ago, I'll give it another shot
BREAKING NEWS!!!THANOS FF IS THE BEST CARD IN THE GAME
>>2945351I miss LoR so bad bros. I'd be playing that 100% if it was still actively supported.
Everyone is getting the rewards for the fumbled event
>>2945410I'm surprised it's been going on for so long.>>2945825I miss uh... what was it called? Hex? One of the first PvE-like card games but you could still play against other people.
>>2945902This is probably the best way they could have handled this fuck up of theirs. Though I have to wonder what the hell happened for it to fall apart like this.
white widow should be a 1-dropno other adjustments just a buff
>>2945351I'm so tired of magiclikes.
Its not as cool or flavorful but TFF needs to work like that draft / S6 does... the six shot stones are fixed to 6 cards in your deck at game start. You have to play them at quickdraw speed or you dont get it. He can keep the cool abilities and his base power like this but its infinitely more balanced no?
>>2947441>but its infinitely more balanced no?this would only really hurt thanos decks that generate or draw extra cards, he would still be a staple in every other type of deck he's in like HV or Aurora for example They need to adjust the numbers on him
>>2947441>>2947488Reasonable nerfs:1) starts with no shots2) Soul Stone afflicts a little rather than destroys, which would fix how Thanos FF lets a player not have to put so much tech into their decks (ex. He can snipe Wong, Iron Man, Cerebro, and more as he is now).3) Space Stone doesn’t give powerPushing it:Both of the aboveKill it:Number 1 and 3, and all the shots are colorless so neither player knows what he’ll fire once he’s playedReality Shot just changes the location he’s on
Looks like they made a bunch of changes to character mastery in the patch but I have a hard time understanding what I'm reading
>>2948249Don't worry about it kitten
>>2948255ok yay
Nuoh my god
New player, what does Fogwell's Gym do? If I play a card there that boosts, will it double the bosot or something?
>>2948275It doubles the boosters you're rewarded with after the game is doneNo way to interact with it
>>2948275It doubles the boosters both players receive at the end of the gameSo in a normal game that goes to turn 6, you would receive 12 boosters, if Fogwell appears in the game, you get 24 boostersThis stacks if Fogwell is duplicated through effects like Legion
Alright I don't understand where these "unowned god splits" ended up after claiming them from my mailboxThey don't seem to be in the list of splits or unlocked effects
updated datamine for next month season
>>2948316also first datamine for november season
>>2948279>>2948280Oh I see. So gameplay wise as you play its basically just a bare spot?
>>2948326Yeah it doesn't do anything in game
https://marvelsnap.com/patch-notes-september-15-2026/
Alright shit's bugged, just another Marvel Snap tuesday
>>2948316Would I get cancelled or banned for putting a chain border on vamp Killmonger?
>>2948269>>2948337Can I still log in or would that automatically claim the bugged rewards?
Who the FUCK is this
>>2948530You have to claim them manually in the inbox, but it probably doesn't matter, they're likely gonna fix this later
>>2948057>Soul Stone afflicts a little rather than destroysHonestly I'm baffled they didn't do that instead. Just letting him destroy was definitely Second Dinner insisting he he amazing at release.
>>2948316Zombie Black Cat still the card I'm most interested in. Vampire Killmonger is cool from a skills deck theme too.
>>2948319What a weird looking season. Mechanichally I mean.
>>2948577>Ms. MarvelI am going to take a shot in the dark and say it's Ms. Marvel.
>>2948319man they love repeat characters and public domain characters. when actual unused marvel characters getting cards is so fucking rare now.
>>2948577>>2948774
>>2948337Did it get fixed yet?
>>2949037Funny joke
>>2948838lel
>>2948316this season is looking kinda just ok>>2948319this one looks better
>>2945902
>>2948337>>2949041It's fixed now.
>>2950317It most certainly isn't, I still don't have mineMaybe you just didn't get the bug
Alliance Reward
>>2947281Great variant I bought it too
bwos, my season pass reward track is bugged af. I can keep collecting 200 credits from L37 reward over and over.i think i've done it like 5 times bc at first i was just confused and thought i was wrong and it was graphical bug.am i getting banned lol? i haven't spent this shadow credits on anything yet so maybe it still is a bug that will fix if/when i try to spend but my credit count def keeps going up. if this is widespread they surely have to rollback? the red alerts just never go away and it let's my claim it each time. can't decide if i should just full send and get 20k credits and spend them all asap or what
>>2952163Ehh up to you I guess. They can put you in credit debt.
>>2952167>credit debt.I know some mobile games have done that when an error lets a player get bonus currency but has Snap done that yet? It's usually something that really pisses off the player base.
>>2952352I know it happened with gold in the past.
>>2952358>>2952352There was a poster here who did a gold exploit a few years ago and ended up with like -7800 gold lmao
>>2952163It's possible it's just a visual thing and the gold will go away once you reset the game, but if not it's better not to spend it, as other people have mentioned they could detect it and put you into negative gold. They probably won't ban you but it would be very annoying.If it doesn't go away you can contact support and have it removed.
>Cubes collected from Limited Time Game Modes after rank cap of 90 will fall back to 8 wild boostersWhat the fuck. What the hell is even the point then?
>>2953717For those in the 80s and below to help them reach Galactic?
>>2953867Im 88 rn i don't mind a free 90 while i play. This is a nice change
I have 60 unowned s4 cards. The event ends before i get a free valentina+loki. So there is a 1/30 chance i get one of them via LTGM s4 pack. Fucking bullshit timing.
>>2952037torn pantyhose
Jesus earning the currency in team clash is a slog. I don't even play to win now just finish missions.
>>2954446>I don't even play to win now just finish missions.samepeople playing thanos ff and scorpion bnd in the LTGM also doesn't help
>>2954446That's always how Team Clash has been. It sucks.
Weird bug put Killmonger back in my hand after he'd been played but the game still considered him on the board so I couldn't play him again, but then the game got confused and I couldn't play any cards at all and had to retreat.
Does anyone F2P here actually got to the end of this LTGM's reward track without spending gold? Like in previous times this launched? im like a little short of 1k xp.
>>2955865Yeah you just have to do all the missions before they reset. SD got a LOT of shit like a year or two ago when they had an LTM that was like mathematically almost impossible to complete and they wanted you to grind for the final reward.Since then they've shifted and made every LTM's reward track fully completable as F2P as long as you don't miss too many missions.
>>2955601When that kind of thing happens I usually find closing the app and opening again helps reset things. Though sometimes it also skips your turn if you take too long to renter, so you got to act fast.
Venom variant code HHM2026
>>2956044Thanks. There's actually a lot of codes that still work. I completely missed thede Spectrum, Swordmaster, America Chavez and Blade variants.We should maybe include this in the OP https://snapcomplete.com/tools/codes
>>2956164>you have reached the coupon limitgaaayyyy
>>2956329nvm looks like those are ones I already claimed.
>>2956164i redeemed the hispanic Death variant but it won't give it to me. i get the coupon limit message too but all the others have worked once i go in-game
>>2956524Might just be inactive now idk
Why the fuck did they have to add bots that BM emote spam you? it's honestly more annoying thna just thinking about some sad sack who gets all of his joy in life from boomer snaps.
>>2958324No clue. I assume it was supposed to make the bots seem more human? To make it harder to tell who is a bot and who isn't. But it's still stupid. If they're trying to make bot play more tolerable I'd perfer they make it so bots cant retreat rather than spend time making them emote.
I fucking LOVE Enchantress!
Is this good pace for f2p? haven't missed any missions.
>>2958672probably? we still have days to go
we know emote spamming is dev-approved
Is it better to go custom for Team Fight or with the set deck? As I wanna go move but if I'm doing move I want Kraven. Especially if everyone else is doing move.
>>2959097I usually go custom. Even if I primarily stick with cards in the Team for mission completion sake, sometimes one or two additions can do a lot.
>>2959113Yeah to me a move deck doesn't feel right without Kraven, Vulture or the Heimdall final turn. Its working well, especially against other Move decks as they also boost Kraven. X-Men seems to be the favorite though?
>>2958934
>>2959427X-Men has always been my favorite at least. The stupid energy stuff it does is a lot of fun. But this mode is structured so that you really need to stick to the teams the missions ask you to since completing the missions are the best way to guarantee completing the rewards track on time.
>>2959097Depends on the deck but usually yes. Thunderbolt is BEGGING for Annihilus but default X-Men is pretty complete for example
I'm glad they added more one custom card slots but I wish you could randomize between them.
>>2959510The emote we really needed.
a move bot was spammig hello at me so i muted it
bots already have rogue 2. they really don't want them to have any tells.
>>2961168ok
the the jubilee into infinaut bots are fistbumping when you retreat. ugh
>>2954446>>2954845Unfortunately, for Team-based (Play a Match with or Play Cards from) missions, they no longer register between turns 4-6, so you have to play games to completion for them to count.
Team Clash PMV. Actually quite nice
>enemy LDS always destroys my highest power card>my LDS always destroys their lowest power card
Stupid nigger fucking game. How long can one single card rape every fucking gamemode?
yeah the paypigs crutching TFF + Jane + Venus type shit really need to be fucking shown the rope
the first day of team clash was fine but now it is all venus and thanos again
>>2962619It's not my fault the Avengers deck is DOG SHIT
>>2962159Don't you want to wait until all the event shop rotations are done in case a variant you want shows up?
>>2963066>1000 currency vs 900 currency nah I am good.
>>2963066I probably should have, I'm trying to collect all Selene variants and one of the ones I don't have appeared in the shop.But also there was no way to know that would happen so idk
>>2963152>>2963066Actually that really bothered me so I just bought the premium pass. It's 800 gold and this variant is 1200, so it's still a discount on a variant I wanted anyways. Not a bad deal with all the extra boost you get from the pass anyways
>>2963162What is Selene used best for? I'm guessing some sort of Green/Hobgoblin deck because that means she basically makes those cards even more powerful and her depowering becomes effectively empowering for them? Or just a general depowering deck? Or both?
>>2963178She's not a very good card.She pretty much only for junk decks where you try to flood the opponent's board with stuff.But I just like Selene so I want all her variants.
>>2963209Yeah I might give her a shot because why not. She's been sitting there. I'm thinking Green Goblin/Hobgoblin/Hood/Viper, something like that?Also you'd think her card would have something to do with bringing back other destroyed cards or hordeing because isn't the thing she's most known for that big Necrosha event where she brought back the dead?
>>2963235Pretty much yeah. Also Hood and Annihilus.And yeah Selene is weird. She's one of those cards that was rumored to be getting reworked a while ago and it just hasn't happened yet. So SD knows she's a bit weak and she'll probably get something eventually
I cannot fucking wait until horde season two.
feels good to rape a paynigger
got this from team clash. am i cooked?
>>2963162Just as well. You can't get the actual good Superior Iron Man card back from the free pass or hitting infinite.
>>2965711She's pretty bad but at least it's clearing space in your pool
>>2965711if you play her fairly like a traditional move enabler she feels pretty clunky being a 4-drop you need to play before turn 6 and allbut she has a hidden mode where against low ceiling points deck you can bluff using her ability and completely messing up your opponent's expectations at the end of the game, she has won me a couple of games in the past that way when she was randomly generated onto the board
>>2965711this is a terrible card. how is this not 4/8?
>>2965711BRUHHHHHH You are cooked AF! no I don't know how you are cooked but dam you are COOKED!
>>2965711She's fine. Not exceptional but she has uses in move and a few more. Either way, it's good to get cards like these out of the way so you can get other ones later so it's good to pick it up.
>>2968303>She's fine. Not exceptional but she has usesJust like my dick
Which team fight deck are you most and least successful on? For meMost Successful:>Spider-ManLeast Successful:>For some reason Brotherhood. Is it just not good?
>>2971634Thunderbolts most successful Avengers least successful because it's DOG SHIT
>>2971634I rarely lose when I play Guardians, the deck just does a lot of points consistently thanks to ThanosFF and Venus.Avengers is probably my least played deck, so probably that.
>>2971634I don't have the fucked up version enabler for any but X-MenX-Men w/ Lady is most successful least successful is Avengers for sure.
So what do we actually think about Entropic Havok? He combos with Luna and Jim Hammond but that seems to be it
>>2971884>ThanosFF and VenusI mean, it honestly doesn't matter too much what team you're playing when you've got those two. Fractured Frontier Thanos specifically.
>>2972452He's likely going to end up like Lady Bullseye. A card that isn't great in usual ladder play but is going to be fucking annoying in any limited modes since most of those give extra energy.
>>2971634brotherhood is easily the best default deck. they give you all the cards needed to win lanes early and all the payoffs for winning those lanes. shaw is often like a 3/20. one of the best plays you can make is team mystique on horsman wolverine to get an easy second trigger.nothing is especially missing from it unlike default spider-verse which really wants kraven and thuderbolts which really wants annihilus.
at least playing thanosslop in guardians is in the spirit of the mode. fuck everyone playing thanosslop in every team.
and of course there's people playing movie scorpion in there too
>>2972452I wouldn't say he combos with Luna per say since they are both 3 cost which means that extra energy on turn 4 is for all intents and purposes wasted majority of the time.
>>2972452he would be good if he was a 2-cost so you can curve into Luna, as it stands he's just a dogshit card that's going to get banned in any game mode worth a damn and in 90% of cases you'd rather run the lady sandman (who is also banned in any game mode where her effect is worth a damn)Because of the existence of Luna Snow, Entropic Havoc is a binary card where it's either the best combo to be playing or utterly unplayable dogshit and there is no in between unless you change Luna
I actually love this X-Men deck with Entropic Havok and Lady Bullseye now.
>>2974159if you ever put scorpion in there i hate you
>>2974194He feels unnecessary desu, he's not an X-Men so that's another non-X-Men to not help you get the energy boost. Maybe in a standard ladder deck.
>>2973088That's still massively faggy. That card should be banned from these limited modes.
How is new Carnage?
>>2975796i have seen a few people doign scorpion slop in the xmen deck because magik counts as xmen for the mode and it's the best magik deck.
>>2976550Looks like a better Fan Fei. Solid argument for her to be changed to a three cost.
>>2976550really damn good, I think he might get adjusted to a 3/3 at some point in the future, his utility is already really high, there's no reason why he should be a 3/10 on top of that
>>2976634>Solid argument for her to be changed to a three cost.Honestly, I hope they turn her into a 2/2, it's not like we don't have other 2-drops that can move a card multiple times, making her cheap would do wonders to reduce the awkwardness of activate.
>>2977041>turn her into a 2/2Really. At this point the card powerlevel is to the point a four cost activate mover is not worth it. Hell, Fan Fei wasn't worth it even at release when Madame Web was already around. Even if Madame Web kept breaking the game half the time. Fan Fei could use the help. And now would curve well with the new Carnage.
>team clash is overYAAAAAAAAY
What if Scorp BND was a 6/10 but he could only affect the front-row? Luke Cage would be a perfect counter for the combo version of the deck but you could still afford to play it in midrange afflict
>>2978838I don't think he should double the negative power. That doubling scales so stupidly. I wouldn't mind if he kept the entire board wide effect but make him be like Diamondback where he only gives an extra -2 to afflicted cards.
>>2978992literally just give him the same text change as wong and onslaught
>>2979115Or that. It's fucked that he came out not long after all the other doublers and double locations were reworked.
>>2979115That's not how it works, multiple scorpions is working the same way multiple iron man works.If something is afflicted by -1, the first scorpion sees it and turns into -2, the second scorpion sees -2 and turns into -4 and so on.He needs a text change, not a backend one.
>>2979243i literally said text change. onslaught's text used to say doubled, now it says an additional time. with that text then he wouldn't scale exponentionally.
>>2979115he needs a text change similar to how "permanent power" became "boosted" - we just need "afflicted" to be a keyword in that sense and for BNDScorp to say "Double all afflictions"
>>2979730We have stolen power as a new thing coming next season that cards check so it should be easy enough for them to have set in stone afflictions as well be trackable.
Another for the Selene collection
Anti-Polar Magneto with Captain Marvel is actually really fucking annoying. Not enough people are talking about how good he is. He just plays two powerful cards for "free" like Captain Marvel and Speed or some shit alongside being a 6/9. He's absurdly strong and at the very least could use a power nerf.
>>2976634Holy shit yeah he's just a way better Fan Fei. Why would they do that to her? She's already terrible now there's legitimately no reason to play her
This is a great deal if you don't own Spider-Man Noir
>>2981642I don't think he's that strong in practice, he dies to stardust and there's a limited range of decks that can fully make use of his effect, I've rarely been surprised when someone played him on the last turn
>>2982076Nah he's already very good and he's only going to get strong as time goes on.
>>2982222>he's only going to get strong as time goes on.I think that's a fair point but I don't think he deserves a nerf right now for the reasons I previously mentioned, but I would reconsider in a world where the meta is different
>>2982255I just think he could be a 6/6 or 6/7 and still be strong. I don't think he needs to have that statline
>>2982028What decks even use Spider-Man Noir?
>>2981690Honestly no clue. Considering she only has one variant, a really fucking good variant at least, I bet they don't see her as someone they can sell so they just gave any buffs or reworks she could have gotten and made new Carnage with those instead. It's Carnage so they for sure have a bunch they can sell and incentivize with him.
>>2982444Goofy ones that aren't real
>>2983870Well I guess he's still a Series 5 for 2000 tokens, hard to beat that value since I don't own him.
Which one bros? I'm kinda leaning towards red fire.
>>2983998There's also black matte but I thought it looked a little dull
>>2983998Red matte
>>2984327You're right that looks the best
>have a cool ass looking card>it's unplayableMAKE HIM A 2/4 YOU COWARDSALMOST NO DECKS FLOATS ENERGY ANYMORE
Of course I don't get Mystique. The one variant I actually would have wanted.
>>2985466hehehehehe. You can still buy it for 1,2k gold max if you really really want it, it gets cheaper if you have more currency
>>2982444Also wondering this. He seems really specific? But I dont know what for?
Thoughts on Entropic Havok? I think he's pretty good given all the bonus energy locations we have these days.
>>2986144He's gonna be giga busted in LTMs. In regular ranked though I'm not so sure, he'd be way better as a 2 drop.
X-Men felt like the best deck by far
>>2986144He's another card that should be completely fucking banned form any limited modes.
Which cool decks use this?
>>2986831Big body decks like Sauron
Spider-Man Noir going crazy for me in HV
>>2986141He cheats out a card + buffs it. He's like a more complicated Jubilee with a potentially bigger upside but that's often not worth it over just running Jubilee.
Entropic Havok doesn't take an opponent's energy in HV, for some reason I thought that energy countered as extra energy
KWAB
>>2988899Same.
>>2982028This is a variant too good to pass up. Even if I've never bothered playing him in anything.
finally i can play c5 for a little bit
>>2990095I mean he's so weak he could get buffed or reworked, who knows
>>2990330True. But it also feels like we've been saying that since Noir was released.
>>2990330>>2990531He's been reworked once already
Every single deck is ThanosWhat were they thinking bro
>>2991005It is fucking insane. Not even in the damn limited modes can you avoid cowboy Thanos. The fucker is just everywhere.
Test
>>2991005Money
>>2991005>What were they thinking broI can respect the intent of wanting to design a 5-drop you actually want to pay 5 energy for on turn 5 and have it feel good on its own (and not because it's a tech card)the problem obviously is that now there's only 1 good 5-drop in the game so everybody is going to play it in every deck as long as that continues to be the case, they don't want to nerf the only good 5-drop but it seems like they're also no ready to bring the power level of other 5-drops up to speed, which leads us to the current situation
GET FUCKEDI've never fucked anyone harder in this game than this last turn Annihilus lmaooooooooooooo
>>2993534I can get that they wanted to avoid another Infinity Ultron situation where the new mechanically cool five cost card is pretty much unplayable. But they definitely over corrected and made him not just a good five cost but the best card in the game by a long shot.>they're also not ready to bring the power level of other 5-drops up to speed, which leads us to the current situationI sure as fuck hope they don't bring any card up to cowboy Thanos' strength level. He is way too much and it would sure blow to have this be the power goal of cards going forward.
I'm just fucking around doing dumb improbable combo shit in HV. Free entries so who cares
>>2995082Same. It's also the only way I'm doing this week's weekend missions. No fucking way I'm bothering with Superior Iron Man anywhere else.
Holy shit shit, stop popping up this "last chance" payslop 3 days in a row. It's obviously not last chance.
>>2995082Yeah I made a deck for High Voltage and its just a bunch of high cost cards basically ramp without the ramp up.
High Voltage Variant Rewards. Very spidery. Didn’t know Sims had any variants besides the musician one.
Twitch drops
>>2998411Thanks for the heads up.
First 5 wins of this format. Not sure i like the new rules. Vision is MVP of this deck, and i think he's the best card overall for the new rules.
"they must had nerfed boost, right?"
>>2998654Tragically, I never got to play the 1/5 Black Panther. I either failed to draw him or Kraglin ate him.
>>2998765Boost is still busted lads
>>2998654>Not sure i like the new rules.I like them so far, Sanctum forces people to think about 2 turns ahead so even when they luck out on crazy augments, they still can get punished by poor positioning.
Did they fuck up the buckets for synergizing with your initial starter deck?
reddit is having a melty over sanctum draft kek
Could have been worse
>>2996544I got these. Pregnant happy with these. Although I thought I already had this Swarm but whatever
>>2999326*Pretty happy with theseHow the fuck did that autocorrect to pregnant wtf.
>>2996544There are better Storm, but this one I got isn't so bad. I'm glad they're still doing the variants daily reward for this.
>>2999615When was Storm a white lady?
>>2999326Nah, moondragon is the one with the pregnant happy variant. Someone post it.I won a run with a scream starter which I think would have been impossible in old draft. Got a fucking firelord variant.
>>2998411Thank you. Got this as the PMV. Not bad and it gave album progress, but I suppose not having tickets as cube rush rewards or twitch drops this go around will give us a better idea of how tight Draft’s economy will be moving forward.
>>2999326>Pregnant happy
>>3000096Wtf that's a real variant?
>>3000108Yep, it's real and is in the game.
>>2998654Idk how I feel about Sanctum rules in this mode. It feels very mish mashy and not very well conceived. Because in regular Sanctum you can at least play for points when you know you're guaranteed to lose because you still have to rank up. But there's no ranks in this mode so if you're going to lose then there's no point in continuing to play. It feels like move is quite strong right now but I've only played like 5 or 6 runs. Anyways this was my daily win bonus and I like it a lot.
>>3000096How’d this happen? I thought she was a lesbian.
I'm going to miss this regenerating Agent 13. On-reveals with regenerate is so fun.
>>3000769Feels weird seeing my fave variants in Draft without their custom borders and effects.
sanctum rules are bad because it favors boring decks when the cards you get are random and the appeal of the mode is supposed to be synergies and it makes it even more random when you get the busted synergies. it also favors the sweaty bots with their techslop decks that always curve out perfectly.Annd though i don't like giving him credit Jeff Hoogland is right that the real issue is they messed up the chance to pull specific synergies. you are far more likely to just get random shit that has nothing to do with your starter and especially makes destroy starters unplayable. the rng was already kinda feels-bad and they made it worse.
>>3001313So I (>>2998798) wasn't crazy? Most my runs the first bucket of cards and no synergy whatsoever with what picked and everything after that seems to favor that instead.
>>3001389jeff is the number 1 shill. if he's admitting to feeling it then everyone is.
>>3000491also why are the secondary lanes worth so much more than OG sanctum? was it not 1-3-1 originally? in draft it's like 3-4-3? 2-4-2? idk i only played a bit yesterday. i feel like they fuck around with the sanctum scoring every time. wasn't the high voltage sanctum first to 14? that was genuinely the worst mode they've ever ran.
When they said random they really meant random. I didn't think Champion skills would be created as well.
Pet mansion overwrites tauntHoly fuck fuck this game
>>3001588>was it not 1-3-1 originallyIt's that at the start of turn three and then grows as the game goes on.
Out of ticketsWent>1 win>1win>4 wins>1 win>2 wins>2 wins>4 wins>3 wins>3 winsYeah, I keep getting screwed by buckets and locationsfJust last match I had someone have strange supreme with central park and then the location that copies last card draw which was thier SS and of course they had a card that SQ
of fucking course my best starter and the best starter in the data is thanos FF. they really can't stop themselves from bending the game to favor that fucker.
unreal
sometimes you just rape someone so badly it's not even funny,, I hope this was a bot
>>3002293I don't know why the fuck they added him to the card pool for draft.
I dont think draft sanctum works well
>>3002968It does not, idk why they decided to blend the two modes when people already dont love sanctum
it's worse than normal sanctum because the other 2 locations are worth too much making comebacks next to impossible.
New autism code just dropped
>>3000000
>>3000749Being a lesbian doesn't mean your uterus stops working.
>>3002968>>3003013>>3003147It makes a lot of the draft categories completely fucking useless too.
Ongoing has felt amazing this time around. The best runs I've had so far have been with ongoing.
>>3002410Hoog doesn’t even play Ranked anymore. He just does Conquest all the time unless there’s an event.
Daily draft reward
Also Alliance Reward. I like this one, not the best She-Hulk variant but not bad at all.
>>3004538I’m surprised they never made a Zendaya variant of Mary Jane considering all the Tessa Valkyrie ones.
How many Kazars do you want?
>>3004890She is MJ not Mary Jane.
>>3004307statistically ongoing was one of the best decks in old draft and now it is statistically one of the worst. one problem is a lot of the starter having cards too expensive for the early game so jameson starters are clearly the best and the fact that ongoign generally has low power in tthe early game and really ramps up at the end,
>>3004890because unlike MJ marvel comics introduced not one but two unrelated tessa look-alike valkyries.
Anyone else having an issue with twitch drops just not progressing at all?
Finally, my first 5 win. Took me a respawn token too.
>>3005864Thanos is cracked in this ruleset. You always have curve/tempo, good draw and a huge body on t5
>>3005864i know the mode sucks but it's really taken you that long?
>>3005887Yes, I just had a complete run of bad luck. And the first day I was drunk and got tilted really easily.
They really need to go back to the original SS scoring. Playing from behind/comebacks are nearly impossible.
>>3005908>comebacks are nearly impossibleJust snap.
Easy 5 on daily reset, last game went really close because i didn't draw my stick, still pulled through
>>3006629Snap and lose anyways? ok. You got it dude.
>>3006709>double stick. Wow man good for you
>>3006733Ikr? Literally half of the deck is dead weight (angela, herbie, ironheart, okoye). Carried by4 cards KEK.Im not gonna act like i didn't deserve this, i was losing to some crazy bullshit yesterday, this deck doesnt even come close to what my opponents were playing
I think what's not working for me for this version of draft compared to the other is that I feel like I can't experiment and I'm more restricted. In old draft and some other modes, I'd often experiment around with different wacky card combos to see what does and doesn't work for that mode, and I just feel like I can't do that because some cards or card types simply don't work. While with old draft, it was about being handed the cards you're given, and dealing with it and trying to work around its limitations, or exploit its advantages. With sanctum draft it's just, its limitations are its limitations, you can't spend time experimenting because you have to be constantly capturing places for points so you're not left behind. This also makes Ramp pretty useless to select IMO because you simply can't waste time doing the set up to play the big cards or you'll be on 2 points and they'll be on 15 by the time you're ready.And then add onto the fact you have two lives and can only revive once. You just can't waste time having losses experimenting.
Daily draft reward. Pretty nice.
>>3006798I really wish Doc Strange wasn't tied to the move archetype. It doesn't make sense since every other magic based card has nothing to do with move and he sees zero play anyway
>>3006800It does make sense desu, since the mcu he is known as portals which is moving people from one place to another.
>>3006757>this version of draft compared to the other is that I feel like I can't experiment and I'm more restrictedThe other draft was way worse. Last time you had to get the best possible combination of augments and cards possible or you'd get fucked, no doubt about it. And no room for anything else. Now it's not so harsh. And you can jump around which location to prioritize per turn so you can pick your battles easier this time around.
>>3006819Yeah and somehow every incarnation of the character has to focus on portals even though he has a million different spells
>>3006798I wish they'd let you choose non-frame break version of cards as an option in custom cards. These comic cover cards always get royally screwed by frame breaks.
>>3006829Yeah this is probably the most requested custom card feature. SD is just really lazy though
>>3006828In UMVC3 he didn't have any portals at all, but he did have a teleport tbf
>>3006858Because that game came out before the movie
>>3006862Man I really liked UMVC3. It was probably the last bit of media that had that old marvel feel before everything got MCUinized.
>>3006858Wow man, the game that came out before the movies made Strange feel like Strange?
>>3006916That game came out after the MCU was already a thing
>>3006925>UMVC3 came out in 2011>MCU Dr Strange movie came out in 2016
>>3006926That's not what you said. You want be rude and snarky for some reason. Well I want no part of it. Have a nice day
>>3006931>I got btfo > I don't want to participate anymoreGOOD DAY SIR!
>>3006800His Team Clash version also sucks.
I'm thinking easy 5-0
>>3007224It's so stupid that Juggernaut isn't banned lmao
>>3007224>no spiderman with the multiple man effectngmi
Twitch Drop PMV
>>3006757Don’t forget that charms/points don’t add EXP or currency, so unlike regular Sanctum, you don’t progress at all if you lose or if you get more charms/points beyond 18.
>>3008365This is the really baffling part. I don't get why they would go for this when you can't even strategically lose like in Sanctum to progress. In this version you're better off just retreating if you fall behind too much since you're just not getting ANYTHING for staying and losing.
>>3008434Thats a lot of retreating too, as it's pretty obvious who's gonna win by turn 3 or so. Comebacks are very difficult in this mode. When the points increase to 4+ it's just an obvious winner because they just start storming ahead.
What does EXTREMELY random mean?
>>3010542it means it can also generate non-collectable spells, like Merlin's spells or Clea's spell or the ones from Grand Arena champions
>>3010618Well idk how good she is but I bought her because that sounds fun. I did put her in Horde and got a crazy high roll with her giving me a 0 cost Hunger which was cool
>>3010655Yes it turns out 0 cost skills are really great with Zombie SW even if they are shit skills.
>>3006709Another easy 5 after reset. This time with unique silver surfer starter.

>>3011232Awesome, they weren't done with their stupid ass unwarranted Blink nerfs
>>3011232>The Ancient One: Tao Mandala goes from 2 energy to 3 energyThe faggots just couldn't hit Scorpion and let it be. They just keep fucking nerfing around him. What the fuck. The Thanos nerf is some pussy shit too.
>>3011232>swaps a card that costs the same or more>costs the sameDoes this help anything? Like her ceiling is now lower but this means you can swap out six costs for other six costs. Surely that opens some avenue up.
>>3011232Image for better view
>>3011439It's a nerf for sure. There's no instance where you want to use blink when you want to pull another 3/4 drop from the one you just swapped out.
>>3011378you now remember how long it took for them to properly address shuri.
>>3011507Oh it's totally designed as a nerf. I'm not denying that. I'm just wondering if maybe now there's some new avenues here. For cases where you ramp out a six cost early you can also then swap out that six cost for another. Something like Doom or Arnim Zola first, then swap him out into an Infinaut or whatever. Galactus.
>>3011232Cool Carol buff
>>3011232>Thanos FF: Doesn't start with a loaded shot anymoreI know this isn't good enough but I like it, one of my biggest problems with him it's not that he's too powerful, it's that he goes into every fucking deck, this should increase the delta of power between decks built around him and decks that just slap him on without a second thought>Domino: 2/4 -> 2/3really unfortunate change because she's pretty unique at what she does, would've much rather seen other midrange slop card nerfed >Jane Foster FF: 3/4 -> 3/3this is unironically how the card should've been released, now we can judge if she's too good or not, and I'm leaning towards yes >Blink: 5/7 -> 5/8 // Now swaps a card that costs the same or moreRIP consistency in blink decks lol>The Ancient One: Tao Mandala goes from 2 energy to 3 energysame thing with domino, it sucks that unique cards have to pay the price for the evils of new broken cards>Zombie Captain Marvel: 4/5 -> 4/6>Bucky Barnes: Winter Soldier is now a 2/8 from a 2/7fantomex chads eating good this OTA>Tombstone: 2/4 -> 2/5love me some tombstone buffs>Kluh: 5/10 -> 5/11love me some kluh buffs but they could have gone to 5/12 honestly, the card needs help>Kate Bishop: Basic Arrow now gets +4 instead of +3clog getting deleted made me forgot she exists lol
>>3011232>Thanos's problems - too much power (he's a 5/8 while Sera is a 5/5? Sera can't even reduce costs to 0 or grow in power or the other 3 fuckin effects Thanos gets?) and some shots are more powerful than others (destroy, clone, and cost reducer are standouts but power is good for skaar decks, move is good mindgames, draw a card I mean its okay)>SD: "actually we've decided to not touch his power or his shot effects and just take away his starting shot">"also we're nerfing domino's power"
>>3012692This song and dance is obnoxious. They've done this multiple times in the past. It's like they never learn.
>>3012692The fact that none of the shots got hit is just baffling. Like the very least they could have hit the one that destroys and have it just afflict a minus four or something. Their reasoning is ridiculous too. And that they keep hitting cards around the actual problem cards just fucking pure faggotry.
Finally reach the goddamn 4 win I get hit by this fucking absurd combo.Props to the guy but it does feel fucking sour that you can't do shit about it
>>3010846Another easy 5 with move this time.
How was i supposed to win against this?
>>3013016Another 5. Wiccan starter is crazy good
>>30133075 with ramp starter. for fuck sakes i just wanted to spend my 11'th ticket so i don't lose it on reset.

>>3015014>deadpool's dinernooooooooooooooI hate that
>>3014466>>3014462Pretty good. Do Kang's variants show up properly? I remember when he got reworked it would only use the same 4 variants he generated.
>>3013265Even without Knull, Nimrod or Death, Destroy can somehow still succeed. Somehow. Some way. This didn’t even have Deadpool until Match 4.
>>3015225I think it guarantees that one of the variants will be the one you pick for him, but the others are random
Daily Win bonus. Pretty nice but already have other good Firehair variants.
>>3015510I just raped someone who had the same exact variants for cards with my multiple man, was that you? The match where the right location was swapping cards from deck and the left one was destroying with a 25% chance? Thanks for 5 wins anon
Easy 5 with Doctor Rape. Literally broken
I love the fact that daily win is a Premium Mystery. Draft might be a bit RNGfest but at least its rewards are good.(Also, Vamp're Enchantress got me acting)
>>3016905Im on a roll today
>>3016905got a x-23 with savage, bp5/8 buffed to 11 and then dorammu with fucking tagin as last cardeasiest 5 games win but goddamn only suffering after 10 game loss streak
>>3017153>easiest 5 games win but goddamn only suffering after 10 game loss streakSometimes the game just gives you a freebie it seems. I just had a similar run with this deck but the ones before were rough as fuck.
Finally, my second 5 win.
>>3017023>(Also, Vamp're Enchantress got me acting)look at her hands, she is literally doing the 6/7 meme lmao
>>3017544>palms up is the 67 memeJFC
Cute
this probably won't be useful info for most people, but if you're f2p, you can try to draft the boost archtype and get superior ironman in your deck so you can complete the gold quest without having him in your collectiontook me about 10 drafts to see him for the first time, then another 8 to get him a second time but I was able to do it
>>3019090Oh nice thanks for the tip
>>3018292That is a fun variant for her.
The actual worse thing about this Sanctum draft is the fact you can TIE. And it doesn't count as a win or a loss, just a meaningless waste of time game. At least in Sanctum a tie meant you still progressed, in this it doesn't mean shit.
Somehow managed to get 5 wins with the WORST deck i've ever drafted. Yes, double may, no way to move dagger, hydra stomper was a later addition but i won all games without ever drawing him. How? I dont fucking know

HOLY
>>3021665no one would ever get 5 wins without godlike luck if they didn't also put loser bots in this version of the mode.
Daily draft win reward. I like it.
>>3022206This was my first ever variant so I have attachment to it
>>3022404Shockingly I had no Kazaar variants other than Dan Hipp wtf. I've been playing since launch and somehow didn't get another variant for him until now
This is the most broken card I've drafted so far. A 0/6 that gives +6 to the top card of the deck? Holy fuck she could hit anything and it was huge value

Its always fun to play this against a venom/carnage destroy deck

I'm so stupid, I picked this because the variant made me think it was rocket and groot.
Daily Draft Reward. This one isn't so bad, it is Kinnaird so it has that ugly coloring he does though.
less than 2 hours until I get to play with superior ironman
Just in time.
>>3030242Also I forgot I bought Scarlet Witch QoC. Got that done too with this crazy fucking high roll holy shit. 8 cuber too.
>choose ramp>only get ramp cards and no cards to ramp into
If you have more than one Vamp Killmonger in play each one steals 2 power with just 1 spearSeems very exploitable with Frigga
Cool a new boardThey should sell those
>>3030633Cool. I had hoped he'd work like that. Always enjoyed little interactions like that. Similar with multiple zombie hordes.
I don’t know how this nonsense managed to go 5-0 and against 2 optimized boost decks, especially after I was forced to get Clone Queen of Chaos (it was either her or Clone Ross or Clone Kate). The tension made it a blur, which is like the antithesis to how Arishem is supposed to be a fun casual deck now.
>>3030633Correct. Why would you think otherwise?
>>3031962I didn't think otherwise, I'm just pointing it out for people who might not have considered it
Do you guys think Jack Flag is worth buying? I always like using him in LTMs, but I don't see him on ladder much.

i am one series 5 pack away from being collection complete, been playing since day one although i did stop playing for a few months the first year, i am quite happy with snap, sure the season pass is a must but it's a fair deal
Super last minute draft win, I was busy all day yesterday and today I was getting super dog shit draft picks.
>>3034531Leave him alone. He's clearly new. >>3034544What about season 5 packs?
>>3034544It only gets easier from here anon. Once you're collection complete it become easy to stock up on extra tokens passively and always have enough for each week's card and then some.
>>3034664not sure what you mean, i got all cards in the game>>3034881yeah i mean i have 30k tokens stocked up and i spent 35k over the years on ultimate variants, i had tons of luck during the keys era
wtf I love Colossus now.
queen of chaos should probably be a 3/3 it's kinda tiresome having to play mobious in every deck to counter her
>>3036432Maybe stop being a dickhead trying to counter a card that literally generates garbage most of the time
>>3036444>most of the timeit only generates garbage when I play itwhen my opponent plays it they only get skills that cost 4+the ben brode special
>>3036432You genuinely sound like such a pathetic little faggot lol
only destroy feels rewarding to draft. boost is brain off big numbers go brrrrr & move gets borderline worse as you go deeper, i just want to play vulture on T1 and win free thx.ongoing is such dogshit, goliath needs to count Rally, Apex and 2nd from Amplify as additional ongoing counts and maybe sometimes you'd feel like you were keeping pace.>>3035613did this guy play 5 bots?
Easiest 5 win of my life.
Draft feels so much more rigged this time. Sometimes the game just decides you should lose 6 runs in a row with dog shit locations, bad draft picks and clairvoyant bot opponents
>>3038741>get a "good enough" draft deck started>offered 3 dogshit cards all with superstar for 9th pick>10th pick is also dogshit but at least it doesn't fuck you up more>first opponent pulls out some shit like mentor maverick into mentor stick>second opponent pulls out bishop with the venus augment
I've gotten so many Peni variants as LTM rewards.
>>3038741>Draft feels so much more rigged this timeDraft is draft. It's just as fucked as it was the first time.
>>3039552Nah. I had a fighting chance in the last one. This one you either get fuck or fuck them. There is no in-between. I legit have more 0 loss games than 5 win games.That also may be due to different mmr on mobile and PC (if that is true). Original draft I cleaned up.
>>3038741>Nice ongoing deck, how about some ongoing effects disabled>Oh you wanna do a boost deck? How about a move card? how about another move card? No boosts for you! Awww sick of the move cards? How about a destroy card?
>>3039552Nah, I think it's a combination of something getting changed under the hood and also Sanctum kind of inherently fucking you way harder when you get bad locations. But I've legitimately lost like 6 runs in a row when that just wasn't happening last draft.
>>3040127One thing they've definitely changed is more inconsistent category cards. At the start, if you chose boost, 99% of the card options were boost. Now it's far more all over the place.
>>3041140There’s a hidden “mix” mechanic where if you pick a card that’s of another archetype, it will increase the likelihood of augments and cards from that other archetype showing up in subsequent selection opportunities.
Holy shit get rid of cheater bots in draft.
Love me fastball special
>Choose ramp>Hey want a move card that gains power when it moves, except none of them move themselves or move another card?>Alright, I guess I have no choice>No other move card pops up>Just stuck with Vulture sitting on its ass doing nothing in my ramp deckThanks.

shadow king is so good in this meta I'm running grandmaster just so I can do it twice at the end of the game
There is another Golden Gauntlet qualifier today. I think the last one before the finals. I signed up. Wish me luck. From the stats they released there will be a lot of cowboy thanos and zombies decks
>>3046264Good luck. I fucking hate this meta otherwise I might have signed up
Twitch drops are live btw. But it's just draft tickets and respawn tokens

I have not won a draft run in 2 days.
9 draft runs lost in a row. They've completely rigged this game mode holy fuck
Do draft stats have a limit? It says I only have 4 5 wins but I swear I have maybe 2 more.
>>3047053Looks like there is a limit. This >>3005864 was my first 4 win and doesn't show up in my stats.
>>30470625*
Why did I only get 2 draft options
>>3049214I once got like 5
How do my opponents get these perfect decks with all these bullshit powerful cards like doubled Starlord and Thing First Steps with a buff already on it?Meanwhile I get the worst fucking augments like superstar or that one that destroys another card.Holy fuck this mode is so fucking RIGGED
>>3051648I forgot to mention the Professor which just so happened to be played the turn I would have won with Mr Sinister. God damn I hate SD
Anyways I've lost 11 tickets in a row.
>>3051710Hope you find them
>>3051648It's completely random. Sometimes you get the perfect pulls and augments, and sometimes you get a mess of incompatible shit with augments you have to skip every time.
>>3052592It definitely feels more inconsistent to last draft. Last draft your deck was at least viable. This time around its the most random hodgepodge of shit.
Got 5 wins every day and a total of ~30k bits with a 65% winrate overall. I didn't like this iteration of draft, it allowed decks like move and control to shine but it limited deck building to pure tempo decks and low-curve slop. 0 comeback mechanics if you lost your first 3 turns.
One last draft win before it's over. I like this variant.
