I'm really surprised you guys didn't bring up Dracula when talking about red guardian cuz I feel like that's going to be the biggest play for this card on turn 6
can you imagine having alex as your teacher? goodmorning students , take a seat we are going to jump straight into the lesson this morning we dont have any time to waste... so what did everyone think of red hulk? no no , dont tell me , write that on paper , 5 paragraphs and im going to be keeping an eye out for punctuation so dont be lazy guys
This story resonates with me so well. I played with one guy Dota for quite a while, never knew where he even came from. And suddenly recognise his voice at the local store, a really remarkable meet.
I think one big one missed in the Red Guardian discussion is it's an amazing counter to Dracula, and much more flexible to throw in more decks than Deathstrike. I kinda foresee him being picked up by a lot of people for that reason alone. Edit: Ok, it was mentioned, but it seems like the selling point of the card with how popular discard is atm so I guess I thought it'd be pointed out a little more lol, my bad.
I have met some friends (and a girlfriend) from games I have played in the past and I can tell you that it is a surreal experience. What most don't realize before that type of interaction is that you know the person, you know them better than most because of the time and the conversations that you have had up until the meeting. Nothing changes outside of the physical meet up and being able to share more than conversation (which you know will be good already), maybe some food and drinks or a party event or a show - whatever it could be. These are some of the people that I have come to call my best buds even if we dont see each other all the time, glad y'all got to experience it! Before I had that experience I never knew how awesome it could be!
Honestly U.S Agent is my pick for my favorite this month, I love Man-Thing and so this is just a win for me. White Widow seems amazing with my man Cannonball however, so I might have to pick her up. Titania plus White Widow and just take Titania back on last turn seems really good, also setting up a Cannonball play. Drac players better watch out for Red Guardian as well, I can’t wait.
NGL, you guys had me going with the April Fools joke. My heart sank, and I was SO VERY SAD. I'd be angry, but I felt SO GOOD after it was revealed that all is forgiven. ;-)
What people are missing about USAgent is that he’s basically a 2/6 if you play him into a lane with a 4/5/6 cost card. More if there are multiple cards. That isn’t bad, really
I gotta think Red Hulk gets nerfed quickly. Maybe their internal testing says otherwise, but it seems like it's going to be constantly 19 power or higher.
Cozy, for the throat: Singer’s Saving Grace. I did DragonCon here in Atlanta for years, around Day 4 my voice would start to go and that rescued me every time. The taste is like being slapped but it Works.
I'm excited for Baron! I've already been messing around with a fun Mill-Loki deck! Can't wait!... Love the content and SO glad that was an April fools joke! 😅
Quick power breakdown for Red Hulk if your opponent floats energy every turn for those who need it: t0: 11 (starting) t1: 15 t2: 19 t3: 23 t4: 27 t5: 31 t6: 35 t7: 39 (if there is a t7)
Alright, I'm normally pretty good about catching the April Fools jokes today but for whatever reason, you actually got me. Bravo, guys, I truly was sad for a moment!
I like that red guardian hits all cards, not just ongoing like enchantress, it seems like more and more cards are just getting static effects and not being ongoing effects when it feels like they can could have been ongoing. things like elsa or hope summers
Mailbag question: what do you think of future card something to the effect of: On Reveal: If you play your next ongoing card at this location, add/give its ability to your opponent's next card played. This would open up a new Sauron win condition for bad ongoing cards (Red skull, Typhoid/Electro/etc) in addition to Caeira teching against destroy players and LOTS of other options (adding blue marvel to be able to shang 9 power cards maybe?). VERY interesting dynamic.
Honestly you guys need to keep this partnership going even beyond this game. So cool. Live in Boston and would have def go to an event next time you are in town.
I am most excited about White Widow and Red Guardian. I feel like Red Hulk's gonna have to be one I spend caches on though, because it doesn't seem like he can miss and fits into pretty much anything.
I see the Baron package as generic splash-able stats package that comes online turns 1-3, akin to the Blackbolt Stature package. So I could see Zemo in a Loki shell or a Blackbolt midrange deck. Like how the old Shield Agents + Loki package generated stats easily with a high roll potential. I’m thinking a curve or Yondu/Cable/Baron coupled with the backup plan of Nebula/Zabu/Ms.Marvel and then you fill in your late game as you see fit. Alioth, Dr.Doom, Mobius, Cull obsidian etc
Nah, didn't fool me for a second. :P Looks like one of the best seasons ever imo. Even the sus cards are at least very interesting. Also there's no way White Widow came out as initially seen, that thing was busted as hell.
Zemo out will just make Discard stronger. They putt one of your discard cards it will hurt them more than help Red Hulk will bring back sandman deck and that will help shut down destroy a bit so I'm here for it.
I think Red Guardian is going to be really useful. Think of all the cards that can't be turned off because they're not an ongoing. Collector, Hope Summers, all of the previously mentioned destroy cards.
Red Guardian is the Dracula killer! Its not just ongoing, its text so it helps with Dracula, The Collector, hope summers, ect. Cards with text and no ongoing key word
Red guardian feels like is being undersold online. I get it why, but for example here it was mostly talked as another counter for ongoing. Black knight mentioned slightly. Deadpool too but knull was mentioned more. Red Guardian is not a 5star card, but it has a good potential on being 4star because people are glossing over the fact that red guardian is the only card to remove a text on field. It kills/stops dracula, Echo, sunspot, nebula, daredevil, kraven, wolverine, collector, kingpin, bishop, cosmo, elsa bloodstone, high evo cards like cyclops, hope summers, werewolf by night, captain marvel… yes some have other counters already, and others may be niche, but its gotta count for something. Lets see how it does.
Not only annihlus and destroy but also like discard running swarm, zoo, any deck making use of Brood, like there is plenty of ways counter act white widow. The previous version was definitely BEYOND cracked though so she needed the change lol. I also think they made her clog and anti clog because they don't want to make one of the most annoying deck types like hyper good yet she still works in it by a lot. Valentina is the main one I'm looking forward too, I really like random and the like and random with a discount is like YES!
White Widow might go into my pseudo lockdown, galactus deck. The reason being, I like to get my opponent to lock one location, by filling it up (the threat of junk does this, WW will be event better for this) I then lock/win a second with prof (and usually something else to get the numbers up, a demon is usually enough) and then make them play into my alioth on the last location. This card should go directly into this deck, for me.
i think you guys are sleeping on red guardian, he's the most flexible tech card in the game as of now, completely shuts down cards that almost no other card can while mantaining good power curve, and even in scenarios where you cant full counter a card, you can heavily disrupt some others. heres some cards red guardian hard counters/disrupt: dracula morbius miek black knight human torch multiple man phoenix deadpool x23 carnage venom knull sunspot nebula cyclops soul stone hope quinjet zabu iron man mistique mobius ravonna inivisible woman patriot cerebro obviously some are harder than others, like cyclops and hope being kinda high power, but the point is that red guardian can disrupt core cards of all the most popular decks today, in some scenarios only he can do it, in others he can do it better than our current option today. that said, i'm noob and probably wrong too :D
I think using him on Venom probably would be much less effective than the other destroy cards you mentioned, because he's already gotten his power when it's played. But I like your list, because it shows that RG can target multiple cards that currently can only be handled by one specific tech card.
@@Blangadanger you are right, i was tripping when listed venom even in the niche case you disable venom's text before they zola it, its too unreliablle
That was our second take for the April fools, Alex couldn’t help but crack up mid way 😅 #pureheart
I'm really surprised you guys didn't bring up Dracula when talking about red guardian cuz I feel like that's going to be the biggest play for this card on turn 6
Cozy you should bring that level of acting into your next Snap commercial, you had me shook for a second 😅

The Cozy Alex bromance is amazing. Dudes need to appreciate friendship like these two absolute legends ❤ stay blessed brothers ❤
Lol Alex better watch cozy lol love y'all guys😅
Alex’s eye started to twitch before the April fools joke. He’s so pure of heart his face reacted to the lie. ❤
U scared the living breath out of me with the April fools jokes
Yo it's blob from pvzh
Same i was so shocked 😭
Bro I forgot it was April fools. They got my ass
Spoilers
hahahaha
Seeing the boys nerd out about meeting up and new cards. You guys are a treasure in our community.
Love the Agatha interaction with Valentina realization on Cozy's face when Alex says "she plays herself, almost immediately!" Mind blown.
As much as I love the Snap talk I’d totally love a full podcast of Cozy and Alex just talking being best friends 😂
Please, they need to make this happen
Cozy: Under the weather, might be a bit shorter
Video: 53min
Appriciate the work you guys do 🫡
Ngl I forgot it was April, and was shocked for a minute.
Snap chat makes all my Mondays better.

oh my gosh, I was a little sad when I thought you were ending this. I really enjoy this series. thanks to you both.

I think people forget about late game zemo pulling big stats on turn 6.
Alex has that dad and teacher immune system. He’s essentially invincible at this point
“Dad immune system” isn’t a thing. The little germ factories knock me down constantly
Your friendship makes me smile, it‘s so beautiful to hear you talk about each other this excited!! ❤️

This month is insane, every card seems to have good potential. I’m very excited about Red Guardian and Valentina
Dang it! Here in Guam it’s already April 2 so I fell for the announcement! Alex’s facial expression really sold it - Oscar worthy!
It’s so fine Cozy. Just feel better we all appreciate you and Alex
The sweat pouring and complete voice and energy drop at the end! Take some time and get well my friend. We'll be here when you get back!
The fact that there’s no official video yet scares me
Gotta be planning an April fools joke
It’s online now 😊
I just had a favorite podcast end last week, yall can't be playin with my emotions like that! 😂
Gonna have to throw Martyr into all my decks while people are testing Baron Zemo out 😂
Great minds think alike. I wonder why they didn't mention the tech. They didn't mention Pixie either.
Ebony Maw is better and more hilarious 😂
Play into a lane that gives you rocks and baron helps you out by removing the rock in your deck it's really funny
"might be a little shorter"
>see duration
>almost 1 hour
never change Cozy
Saw that coming a mile away lmao.
I never would've guessed that you guys weren't already irl best friends. Your chemistry is so effortless
You guys got me. Was halfway through making a sincere comment about how much I enjoy the content and I'd miss the weekly videos. Bravo 😅

I used to own the toy biz Baron Zemo when I was a kid. Many memories having him as the bad guy in my childhood games 😂
Awww. You guys nerding out about finally meeting each other is so great.
Dudes actually got me with the April Foo's joke. Well done fellas, well done.
NGL, you guys had me going with the April Fools joke. My heart sank, and I was SO VERY SAD. I'd be angry, but I felt SO GOOD after it was revealed that all is forgiven. ;-)
What people are missing about USAgent is that he’s basically a 2/6 if you play him into a lane with a 4/5/6 cost card. More if there are multiple cards. That isn’t bad, really
He totally has a spot in Sera decks, as a better Maximus big drop value card.
It’s good value in a Silver Surfer deck
this has slowly become my favorite pod. season preview vids are always solid
i know the EXACT feeling of meeting a long time online friend for the first time. it's quite special!
I gotta think Red Hulk gets nerfed quickly. Maybe their internal testing says otherwise, but it seems like it's going to be constantly 19 power or higher.
love all both of you guys do for this community❤ two GOATS ‼️🙏🏽
I really enjoy how you guys just start talking about Jimmy John’s and the experience of lettering each other, best part of the podcast for sure
Absorbing Man could be interesting with Baron Zeemo
Add iron lad on that
IL, ZEEMO OUTSIDE LANE , ABS MAN OUTSIDE LANE + GRAND MASTER
Surfer already plays absorbing man AND Zeemo is 3 cost
Its so heartwarming that you guys finnaly met, im so happy about that! 😍
I came here for the new, but the friendship of these two is the best thing coming from snap!

I'm excited for Baron! I've already been messing around with a fun Mill-Loki deck! Can't wait!... Love the content and SO glad that was an April fools joke! 😅
You know, it was a good run while it lasted.
How long does it take the both of you to make the visuals around your cameras? I am always surprised by their quality
I honestly get excited about red gardian. He has a decent statline now, and he brings a way of countering this game has long needed.
Yo, my heart sank with that April fools joke! 😢
Quick power breakdown for Red Hulk if your opponent floats energy every turn for those who need it:
t0: 11 (starting)

t2: 19
t3: 23

Omg. You guys had me going for a sec.... I was like "whaaat, what I am gonna do on mondays now????"
Grandmaster with Zemo, yondu, cable can be really effective.
You guys got me was actually gutted 😂 best bromance on YT 💪🏻
So with baron. Does it "take" that card? Or is it a copy type thing?
You for real got me with that April Fools lol. I was nervous!
Ah, Baron Zemo, another illustrious member of the "someday, something, somehow will make this card a must have", along Grandmaster and Supergiant.
Thanks for the video; I hope you feel better soon.
I falled completely, in Spain "fool's day" is 28th of December 😂
Another great episode. Love these! Feel better soon, Cozy.
Nah, didn't fool me for a second. :P

I was prepared for the April fools joke…totally😂😂😂
Getting got on April Fool's with a SpongeBob 😭
It would be perfect for my morning commute if the snap chat was released 30 mins earlier
Have you tried the audio only version on your favorite podcast app? That usually comes out a little bit sooner.
OMG , U guys had me xd , i was really sad until the April fools xd omg ....."they had us in the first half" meme.
Zemo out will just make Discard stronger. They putt one of your discard cards it will hurt them more than help

April fools ruined my day for a solid 5 seconds there, long live the snap chat
Red Hulk on Corvus Ramp, which has been my favorite deck since Corvus Glaive came out, will be INSANE.
Bruh. Actually got me. Damn, I was like what why?!
Us agent with goose and surfer deck can definitely help boost it
Red Guardian is the Dracula killer! Its not just ongoing, its text so it helps with Dracula, The Collector, hope summers, ect. Cards with text and no ongoing key word
If a recruited card isn’t considered played do the recruited cards still get their on reveal effects?
Here for the persona music (but hey the discussion is still good)
I so appreciate that joke wasn't dragged out
