Rn my favourite way of playing Snap is taking Arishem into Proving Grounds and having a no stakes battle. It's even more fun now, since everyone is playing Arishem so the games are super chaotic and unexpected!
Hope Summers gives you a great curve. Turn 2 Hope, Turn 3 Nick Fury, Turn 4 play a 6-drop. Turn 5 & 6 play big guys. It's scary what you can do with a little Hope.
the way the game mechanics work makes blink awesome because it appears to never send you the random card from arishem . I'm also loving toward the duck to give an idea of random stuff is coming your way
Whether or not this card becomes competitive in the traditional sense, this has been an absolute home run of a release. It was easily the most anticipated card all year, and they exceeded expectations for fun factor. Even losing games, it's still enjoyable.
Just lost a gold ticket to Arishem. They drew just enough synergy cards to be dangerous and it turns out every card in the game getting played a turn early makes every card good. Didn't lose more than 2-3 cubes at a time and still only took 3 cubes off them because if they ever curve out it's impossible to keep up with. They were running Blob, Mockingbird, Dino, Darkhawk, Mystique, Nick Fury, Quinjet, Coulson and if they drew 2-3 of those they basically guaranteed 1-2 lanes on their own. Nick Fury is low key extremely strong when you can play 2 of the cards it generates. All that to say Arishem may legitimately be a competitive archetype because guaranteed +1 energy is insanely strong.
I'm actually loving the unpredictability with the card, funny enough pretty often I draw a random card that ends up winning me games lol I love this card
Only thing I’m sad about is that when he shuffles- cards will not become split versions or upgraded board. I wish it would work like Loky or Thanos. I wann to play beautiful cards 😢
High Evo Arishem is performing quite well for me in upper infinite. I didn't go the She-Hulk route, I went the Cyclops Abomination route with Mockingbird and Quinjet, and with Mobius. Floating energy to grow Hulk and trigger Cyclops has swung some big games my way.
I was about to quit snap for the second time but glad I stayed for this card complete game changer! Doubt I’ll play any other decks for a while it’s so much fun
I actually did quit for the second time, due to the constant slot machine spotlight system and no keys to get Arishem now. Knew I would be just salty every time I seen that card, so it was time to bow out.
I went full deck size and combined with Thanos. Filling the entire board is no problem. You always have a 6/10 Thanos you can play on turn 5, or 4 if you can discount him with a stone. Synergy with Mockingbird is also amazing.
No Okoye? I like her in this list. Was fortunate to be able to play her turn one at least a couple times. In one match I had two Okoyes (one generated by Arishem). Thanks for the vid, the match with Cozy was so much fun to watch on both sides.
Obviously I've lost some, but Arishem is fun and the extra energy for free is so good! He works well in pretty much any deck, and I even had some wins placing him with Agatha (Agashem as I call it) and Galactus. He's not a guaranteed win, but he definitely helps with the extra energy. Plus I got to play with cards I don't own, like Sersi!
Got Arishem in one key, I was worried id not get him with 3 keys but I guess second dinner is nice to me because it’s soon to be my birthday! Now let’s go see Alex and Cozy videos for the best look s or videos on Arshem.
I got lucky and got Arishem on my first Spotlight key cash in. I like the variety every game. Playing destory one game, then move, then control... big variety is nice. Even if I'm not winning a ton yet.
Finally called it quits with this game. Spent the entire past week, and a continuous 5 hours straight last night, trying to climb ranks to reach 90. Never got higher than rank 86. Over a year playing this game and have never reached rank 90. Meanwhile my brother cruises to Infinite almost every season. I try the so called "best decks to climb" from content creators, even play the same decks my brother uses. Nothing has helped. I'm also tired that when I reach out for help I get condescending or unconstructive comments, especially when I try to point out how often the RNG works against me. I realize I'm venting a bit, but I do want to end on how much I've appreciated your content during my Marvel Snap journey. I may not play the game anymore, but I still plan to stay subbed and keep liking your videos. Keep snapping, Alex!
Saw the awesome battle between you and Cozy. It’s ok Alex we all cannot win them all brother. Still I would have reacted the same way that you did on the move that Cozy did to you. Wow😮
I think he's a Big Bad since all Big Bads have such glorious animations, with the exception of High Evo. (he still has his small opening animation and the special card background energy VFX though so yeah)
I have played against so many people with arishem and that play style is too strong....this is insane. I don't even know how to prepare or counter the randomness. He's going to be nerfed or tweaked cause this is wildly strong So far doesn't make me want to play since I don't have arishem yet. Like no matter what deck I use I'm just getting countered randomly. Glad I got to infinite early cause this isn't fun I'm just going to be doing the daily missions and that's it
No. Not because the card isn't good but you should always aim for 4 keys if you want a guarantee, otherwise save tokens (even though we get so little lately). You're banking off a 25% where the other 75% is a loss. Unless you really want those variants hold off till it comes back around.
I barely even care if it's good right now. It's fun as hell. The degenerate shit I have pulled with this card today has been hilarious. Sometimes you get a dud hand or bad locations but honestly it's a blast. I have also beaten Darkhawk with it (and lost, it's about 50% for me right now).
It's a super fun card but if you don't have blob or some of the other series 5 cars that help with the shell DO NOT EXPECT TO CLIMB. you will get killed on snaps when the randomness is at an all time high
BUFF NEEDED: I drew the watcher on my first draw of the game in Arishem. COULD NOT SEE OTHER LOCATIONS. Why!? It should just work I get the nuances of why but it should just work. In HIGH EVO Arishem adds other cards high evo cards to the deck WITHOUT high evo effects His power should be high. Very much like high evo at the moment 7 energy for 7 power? Any other weird interactions?? Thoughts!?
@@AlexanderCoccia I put thanos high evo and arishem in my deck and the order of which show up in my deck first is random everytime. ALSO FUN DECK BTW! 😅
I only had one key and gambled for him and got a duplicate, feels bad. I might be able to get one more key and try again, usually I wouldn't gamble but I feel like he's worth it.
Hey, my past self from Twitch, I’m saying hello 👋🏻 back. I’m going to roll for Arishem, though I know You were reluctant to do so. Let’s hope for one key 🤞🏻
The thing about Darkhawk. You don’t get him down behind a Cosmo on turn 5 you’re likely dead. And if you do? Congrats on 2 cubes. Over 70% of my games have been against Ari so far
Got unlucky and whiffed on the 3 keys I had so now I am getting tilted getting wrecked by arishem over and over where my opponent gets the god rngs exact cards they need in every situation even in one game where I black widowed then 3 times
i cant say im having fun cause im having the worst rng in my games, the random cards from arishem have been so bad like i keep getting bucky barnes but no card to destroy it and playing okoye, phastos, quinjet, and sera is not OP at all, i keep coming up short on the last turn sigh
Bro I used one of my keys and got black swan out of the random card slot, I already own her so she got turned into tokens 🤦🏻♂️. Like at least give me her variant if you gotta give me something black swan related.
The reason this is an amazing card is because your opponent will never be able to know what you are playing and they won’t have many counters(other than Shang Chi) for your cards.

Today has been the first day in about a year that I've kept playing after completing daily missions. So much fun!
Rn my favourite way of playing Snap is taking Arishem into Proving Grounds and having a no stakes battle. It's even more fun now, since everyone is playing Arishem so the games are super chaotic and unexpected!
If only they can take all the bots out of Proving Grounds
Yeah the bots there are hilarious…even worse than the ranked bots
Honestly such a fun card I’ve never seen so many ppl pick up a new card since I’ve started snap, I’ve played 90% arishem decks since it dropped
High Evo's release felt similar
Watched you do this review live for the first time!!
:D!
not only am i having fun i have like a 70% winrate with him lmao, the amount of options you have while being unpredictable its so funnnn
Hope Summers gives you a great curve. Turn 2 Hope, Turn 3 Nick Fury, Turn 4 play a 6-drop. Turn 5 & 6 play big guys. It's scary what you can do with a little Hope.
Never gonna give Hope up 😆
We are always one 'Mbaku from failure, one 'Mbaku from success, aren't we?
Not gonna lie… I’ve been winning a lot with him. Just keep some tech cards in your deck to fight off darkhawk
Alioth, shang, rogue and skrull keep dark hawk at bay. Give me your rocks they will not affect me
That's why I run Blob, great counter to darkhawk, and he will always get up there in power to boot
all i face is this thing i won most against thank goodness
Lol if you ever draw them@@Mdash37
Last game I played was a turn 5 Blob and a turn 6 Abs Man and Mystique. All in different lanes.

I don't have Blob, but Arishem generated one for me!

Every time they try Darkhawk on me, I happen to have an answer. Down to playing Leigon on Isle of Silence. Such a fun card this week!
Not sure if you know this Alex but you can Mystique the Blob or Abs Man the Blob because there’s so many cards
Arishem is AWESOME. I'm having a blast. Not really advancing much on the ladder, but having so much fun.
I'm actually loving the unpredictability with the card, funny enough pretty often I draw a random card that ends up winning me games lol I love this card
Mbaku flying in will never not be funny 😂
Only thing I’m sad about is that when he shuffles- cards will not become split versions or upgraded board. I wish it would work like Loky or Thanos. I wann to play beautiful cards 😢
I've played against SO much Arishem today, this has to be one of the most successful releases ever
I unironically run m’Baku in arishem and the amount of times he’s won me a game I should’ve lost is CRAZY
The day he dropped I faced arishem loki decks in infinity conquest and it was pretty consistent while also being really hard to predict
High Evo Arishem is performing quite well for me in upper infinite. I didn't go the She-Hulk route, I went the Cyclops Abomination route with Mockingbird and Quinjet, and with Mobius. Floating energy to grow Hulk and trigger Cyclops has swung some big games my way.
I agree with most of yourr points sir. But how in the world can you miss Agatha & Arishem deck.
I was surprised when I kept winning game. Gained 100 SP after 30mins.
Arishem is pure playing SNAP for the love of the game.
That final M’Baku would 100% have jumped into Mid against me! Great review Alex
I was about to quit snap for the second time but glad I stayed for this card complete game changer! Doubt I’ll play any other decks for a while it’s so much fun
I actually did quit for the second time, due to the constant slot machine spotlight system and no keys to get Arishem now. Knew I would be just salty every time I seen that card, so it was time to bow out.
First thing I thought of was Agatha Arishem and it actually is working pretty good with the amount of power it can play out
I went full deck size and combined with Thanos. Filling the entire board is no problem. You always have a 6/10 Thanos you can play on turn 5, or 4 if you can discount him with a stone. Synergy with Mockingbird is also amazing.
Had a great winrate and climbed in infinite today. If you are used to Loki he is cracked into everything but darkhawk.
No Okoye? I like her in this list. Was fortunate to be able to play her turn one at least a couple times. In one match I had two Okoyes (one generated by Arishem). Thanks for the vid, the match with Cozy was so much fun to watch on both sides.

Wish the random cards would get his border

I've never had this much fun playing snap. Love arishem.
I got lucky and got Arishem on my first Spotlight key cash in. I like the variety every game. Playing destory one game, then move, then control... big variety is nice. Even if I'm not winning a ton yet.
That Ego game makes me wish there was an ego mode. Trying to make your best deck and let ego do the the best he can. It's always fun and exciting!
It has nothing to do with it but imagine that in the future they will release a card that mixes the text of all the cards in your deck 🤯
I got to infinite with darkhawk thanks to arishem everywhere. Now that im here, i can finally use the arishem I opened haha
I got Arishem in my first buy!!
Great advice, it makes the game really fun 🎉

Damn. Big skill issue, I got to infinite this season with C2 and surfer. Just take a day and go from 80 to infinite
@@TheGingerlie Thank you for demonstrating the “condescending or unconstructive comments” part of my post.
I was really conservative when it came to this card, but i was pleasantly surprised by how much fun i had playing it, especially when paired with loki
Saw the awesome battle between you and Cozy. It’s ok Alex we all cannot win them all brother. Still I would have reacted the same way that you did on the move that Cozy did to you. Wow😮
Is this card a BIG BAD!? We haven’t gotten a big bad in over a year. Be nice if he was considered a big bad.
SD has mentioned they're not doing the big bads anymore (makes sense considering everything is s5 on release now)
@@Mr_Myst13 oh. Thanks. That’s unfortunate I thought that was a neat idea.
I consider anything that is Meta a big bad so maybe lmao
I think he's a Big Bad since all Big Bads have such glorious animations, with the exception of High Evo. (he still has his small opening animation and the special card background energy VFX though so yeah)
Alex hittin that Crown Royal hard with the Kang inclusion
Lmao I got Kang from Arishem and he was dog water and didn’t help at all
First Arishem game I drew daken, Zola, and killmonger and got a 32 power daken
I'm having an insane climb with my deck. Love Arishem because he seems very customizable.
I combined yours and Cozy’s deck… I win a lot lol if you’ve been playing the game a while, it’s pretty easy to formulate a strategy quickly
I have played against so many people with arishem and that play style is too strong....this is insane. I don't even know how to prepare or counter the randomness. He's going to be nerfed or tweaked cause this is wildly strong
So far doesn't make me want to play since I don't have arishem yet. Like no matter what deck I use I'm just getting countered randomly. Glad I got to infinite early cause this isn't fun I'm just going to be doing the daily missions and that's it
I love my Agatha, arishem, thanos deck!!! I've won 7 out of 10 games
that sounds wild
So much fun honestly don't care losing but winning more then...
That's the spirit!
i have no keys🙁should i risk one? i already have hercules and black swan
No. Not because the card isn't good but you should always aim for 4 keys if you want a guarantee, otherwise save tokens (even though we get so little lately). You're banking off a 25% where the other 75% is a loss. Unless you really want those variants hold off till it comes back around.
i need 600 put i’m planning to buy mockingbird with that

BUFF NEEDED: I drew the watcher on my first draw of the game in Arishem. COULD NOT SEE OTHER LOCATIONS. Why!? It should just work I get the nuances of why but it should just work.
In HIGH EVO Arishem adds other cards high evo cards to the deck WITHOUT high evo effects
His power should be high. Very much like high evo at the moment 7 energy for 7 power?
Any other weird interactions?? Thoughts!?
He was added after the start of the game :(
@@AlexanderCoccia still… why not just let it work lol.
I agree. And the interaction with the High Evo draw order is very weird
@@AlexanderCoccia I put thanos high evo and arishem in my deck and the order of which show up in my deck first is random everytime. ALSO FUN DECK BTW! 😅
Quinjet and phastos help with the random cards
I only had one key and gambled for him and got a duplicate, feels bad. I might be able to get one more key and try again, usually I wouldn't gamble but I feel like he's worth it.
Hey, my past self from Twitch, I’m saying hello 👋🏻 back. I’m going to roll for Arishem, though I know You were reluctant to do so. Let’s hope for one key 🤞🏻
surprised no one has said it yet but Arishem + Havok
Havok is brocken with arishem atm
The thing about Darkhawk. You don’t get him down behind a Cosmo on turn 5 you’re likely dead. And if you do? Congrats on 2 cubes. Over 70% of my games have been against Ari so far
Darkhawk players are dogshit. I love beating trash hawk players. Always keep enchantress and Shang Chi in deck after update.
Ari?
29:36. No we couldn't lost, M'Baku couldn't jump mid. Imagine you're SD, you have problematic card, and you rework it to make it worse? xD
Sadly I'm striking out trying to get him, I'm 2 keys down and still no arishem. Might need to just wait and spend tokens on him
lmao Alex changed his mind about Quinjet real quick
I’m having so much FUN with Snap again!!!
Our man Alex reviewed a years best card
Mbaku jump scare.. he's always watching.
Im glad this hit for everyone though, enjoy your fun ❤
This card is so damn fun. I actually don't mind losing 8 cubes to mirrors because the games are so close.
I remembered my galactus days. Insanely powerfull card. Play him until it gets nerf
I try to always have an extra 6k tokens and Arishem is EXACTLY kind of card I do that for
Arishem, basically Shadowverse Dragoncraft on the damn FIRST TURN
Got unlucky and whiffed on the 3 keys I had so now I am getting tilted getting wrecked by arishem over and over where my opponent gets the god rngs exact cards they need in every situation even in one game where I black widowed then 3 times
He's amazing playing infinite conquest you just can't counter him
Wish me luck I have one spotlight key I used one before got the random 4or 5 I hope I get him
Thanks for the video and the decks.
Definitely a fun card, albeit one I'm probably not good enough at the game to play well. ;)
Love when arishem gives me the thumb
it seems like all the best versions of arishem are with loki, is there any good replacement for him?
Bro, you don't have to play Loki. It's an Arishem deck, just use another good card. It's fine
@@outphase78 everyone I see that is doing good with the deck is playing Loki.
cosmo darkhawk mystyq armor. one deck to rule them all.
This card is cracked. I hope it doesn’t get majorly nerfed…
Rolled a spotlight cache but got a 1000 tokens instead ? My question is spending 6000 worth it on Arshem?
definetly
Got to infinite with Arishem & Phastos! Arishem is definitely competitive!
i cant say im having fun cause im having the worst rng in my games, the random cards from arishem have been so bad like i keep getting bucky barnes but no card to destroy it and playing okoye, phastos, quinjet, and sera is not OP at all, i keep coming up short on the last turn sigh
Same bro. I’ve had some horrible card generation…. Not to mention the mirror matches always have better cards lol
I don't have the keys but I have 6k tokens... Would you get arisham over something I don't have like sage or nocturne?
You want fun or competitive decks? There is your answer
Save it
Just won Infinity Conquest with Arishem all the way; does that count as competitive?
The jury is out lol
Havok is brocken with arishem atm
I would get him but i have no keys
Bro I used one of my keys and got black swan out of the random card slot, I already own her so she got turned into tokens 🤦🏻♂️. Like at least give me her variant if you gotta give me something black swan related.
I hope he doesnt get nerfed
The reason this is an amazing card is because your opponent will never be able to know what you are playing and they won’t have many counters(other than Shang Chi) for your cards.
Some one make a meme deck with arishem,thanos ,Thor and beta ray bill it would be the largest deck in the game 😭
Arishem destroy is BUSTED, been cooking me alll afternoon
Spend 6000 or try with 3 keys? Wyd?
But.. what about M’baku and Uatu? 😂
He looks so fun but gonna skip i want thanos and galactus so bad and have for a few month and there leakes for next spotlights
LOL, that jubilee into moon knight is exactly why I’m saving my currency. To valuable to waste on a care that’s Gunna be so feast or famine
i only have when im winning, im not having fun with arishem
Arishem = new game mode
Not susceptible to Darkhawk if Arishem gives you Darkhawk....
