Great video guys love your thoughts on kang. Just wanted to mention that people sleep on bast in galactus decks. Turn 1 bast turn 2 Adam warlock for consistent Galactus pull knull works with bast shang shi spider man wolverine alot of key pieces in galactus deck have no negative impact on them death being the exception. She's not needed if your win condition is knull shangshi Spiderman style.
I don't know much about Kang, but as for Sentry, they should just change the card. Keep all the power and energy stats the same. Except for Void. Change the way he plays to: "On Reveal: After playing this card a +8 void is added to the other player's hand" that would play so much more fun. He's honestly just too confusing and obtuse to add to any deck at this point.
I say it again: I LOVE these 2 together! The Snap Chat is so relaxing to watch/listen to on both channels. Its informative, you gain alot of knowledge, fun & exiting. Keep up the good work. This is the community pillar/standard imo!
Great video guys. Side note if you could snap :D your fingers and get rid of one card in the game which one would it be? Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on that question. Have a good day.
I think a good change would be that instead of Featuring locations on the weekends, Featuring cards. So at the beginning of each week, a new card is released. Let everyone have access to that card for free on Saturday and Sunday. Featured Card is the new card. Let's players see if they like it. Will get more play to find bugs, etc. And if you like it, pin it. If not, dont.
@@shinobi7mm right? “Oh, okay, can’t play there, it’s okay, I’ll work around-… can only play 6 cost characters? What kind of-… Your first card can’t be played here?? Dammit Snap!” 😅
Great idea on a series 6 for the top cards to sit in and series 5 for general new releases. One thing I hope is that the people behind snap can be quicker to improve the game from influencers and players ideas and much quicker balance changes.
I don't mind Kang interacting with your opponent's snaps (like letting you see why your opponent snapped) but it seems like it should not let you bluff snap the turn you play him risk free. Maybe they change him to not reset snaps all together, or maybe his on reveal says if you didn't snap this turn.
Kang definitely should not let the user to revert their snap, however it should revert the opponents. How Kang is currently, He’s definitely OP. I gained 20 ranks to Infinite by just slotting him into my ramp deck. Like the guys said, you will get countless 1 and 2 cube games. However, there’s also a visual glitch that can cheap out potential 4-8 cube wins. If you snap during the Kang animation (the button is still intractable despite you not seeing it), the opponent usually can’t see you have snapped. So they will think they are only in for 2 cubes rather than 4 (since there is a visual glitch for Kang and reverted snaps). Anyways here’s the deck for anyone interested. Sun Spot, Invisible Woman, Daredevil, Electro, Wave, Sandman, Captain Marvel, Aero, Professor X, Kang, Doom, Odin. Ideally do not play Wave unless absolutely necessary to get Sand Man out. I’ve actually ended up retreating most times Wave is played. Play Captain Marvel behind Invisible Woman since almost no one suspects any lane to be given an additional 6 power later on. Everything else is standard. If the opponent snaps on T5, I’ll play Kang to see what they think is a winning play, to decide if I want to leave or not. If they don’t, then snap on and play Kang T6. Everything else is typical Electro Ramp. Try to get Sandman out on T4. If you can’t, don’t be scared to retreat if they snap. Its 1 cube, don’t worry. And whatever you do, do not get baited into destroying your Electro with locations that will do that. You never need to play more than one card a turn, so keep the extra 2 power on the board (unless board space will be very limited). This also is great to trick your opponent into thinking you are suffering a very big negative (especially if your lower ranked, higher ranks will have a pretty good idea what you’re playing. Some substitutes if you want: Leader or Magneto in for Professor X, You can swap Wave for Ebony Maw or Lizard. That will leave you with only Electro to get Sandman out early, but again through my experience, Wave almost always helps the opponent more than it did for me.
My current favorite place for Kang is in my Valkyrie control deck. I pulled out Mojo and slotted in Kang in his place, and he does really well to make sure your turn 6 Valkyrie play will go as expected.
27:10 Mbaku is a 1 drop. He very decent in thanos and cebro 2. He’s far better than dazzler, ghost, etc. While not the most optimal he’s still fits far better within these decks. And this isn’t just my opinion but also kmbest opinion
How's he better than ghost? I have to retreat so many times just because I have priority. Mbaku needs the stars to line up to get value. There's only a 25% chance he will jump, then a 33% chance he'll jump to the location you want and a 33% chance he'll actually make a difference.
lol NOTE: The monster behind "Kingpin" is Shadow King. He famously possesses the Pin. Also, read up on Nimrod. He's basically an OP mutant nullifier sentinel.
I agree with both of you - we need to have ONLY the cards that are never dropping down in series 5 or create a new category for them. a Legendary Series or something - they can even name it something fun and more creative.
I think Shadow King needs a fix. There is almost nothing that he does that Shang-Chi doesn't, and Shang-Chi counters so much more. Personally I think his effect should be "Ongoing: cards in this lane have power equal to their base power (this effect overrides any other ongoing effects)" then we have a counter to Dracula, Patriot, and way more things that Shang doesn't hit.
Sentry Apologist checking in! I've been finding quite a bit of success playing a Valkyrie, Thanos, Sentry deck! Valkanry...if you will. Valkanry: Hood, Ant-Man, Zero, Mojo, Viper, Cosmo, Maximus, Sentry, Kang (or Wasp), Valkyrie, Red Skull, Thanos. The stones help fill the right lane for Valkyrie and Soul Stone + Ant-Man or Mojo can help swing it further. Cosmo/Zero negate Sentry if you never drew Valk. Space let's you move Sentry. Plus there's a sneaky Viper play. Turn 2: Time Stone. Turn 3: Sentry. Turn 4 Viper + Stoned, Hood, or Mojo. Doesn't even wreck your curve. With this deck, you're not relying on the Viper plays, but it's their if you want it. Plus worst comes to worst, you can always just dump the right lane as a trash lane w/ Void and Hood. One other sneaky play is to fill the right lane with the space stone as your 4th card, so you can Sentry for free, then move something next turn. For anyone curious I wrote a deck guide on snapzone: marvelsnapzone.com/decks/captain-clouds-valkanry/ otherwise deck code: eyJOYW1lIjoiQ2FwdGFpbiBDbG91ZFx1MjAxOXMgVmFsa2FucnkiLCJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiV2FzcCJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiSG9vZCJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiQW50TWFuIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJaZXJvIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJNb2pvIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJWaXBlciJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiQ29zbW8ifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6Ik1heGltdXMifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlNlbnRyeSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiVmFsa3lyaWUifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlJlZFNrdWxsIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJUaGFub3MifV19
I'm PRAYING this becomes an option. I have this Ultron variant that looks INSANE with the Red Border. Then when I super upgraded for the rainbow it really killed the card for me.
A bit late for the new episode but happy to look at it, my fav show, love what u did with the models, i think you can make a border, frames for your facecam and to look better on top with that glow but eh, preferances, love the talk and all, i watched from first episode and now its already 18, hope this game continue and they can adjust the new cards somehow so we can acces or get hiped about them
One thing that I do like about Sentry as somebody who runs him in a variation of a Destroyer deck is that a lot of times you can toss a Bucky right side early in the game, Sentry elsewhere under an armor on 4, or in conjunction with Prof X on 5 and then people rarely have that 13 power swing in mind when Destroyer comes in on 6. Have also won a few cubes with the Prof X right nullifying the Sentry on 6 regardless which can add some solid power late in the event that you didn’t pull Destroyer and want more than Chavez’s 9. Not a great card by any means, but has done some solid work for me this season.
I got a question, a suggestion and a compliment, I’m a triple threat today: 1. I Watch the pod on UA-cam 75% of the time but when it drops while I’m on the go I listen on Apple Podcasts. Whenever I do that I make sure to still come drop likes on both the videos later but it occurred to me today that average watch time is part of the YT algorithm. Is it helpful to pop into each video for 5 seconds, drop a like then leave or is that doing more harm than good? 2. Not necessary for cards everyone knows, but for the audio listeners I’d humbly suggest making sure to read the text when discussing new/upcoming cards. I had to pause and look up Nimrod in the car to follow that discussion today 3. It’s so awesome to watch y’all develop your craft as podcasters. Y’all started in a great place as two talented YT creators and genuinely get better as podcasters every single week. The pace of the podcast, the topics covered and most of all yalls rapport with each other, leaps and bounds dudes. I enjoy this game so much more cause of y’all. See y’all next week
Cozy, I know you reading these. Here's an idea for future topics (reminded me with Orka discussion). There is TOO many disruptive locations. I mean its all fun and games but when you are dicked not only by your draw and opponent but by every other location - it's just not fun. And it wasn't like that 3-4 month ago. We need more "tame" locations or, dare I say it, beneficial locations? And I'm not talking about "Here's a useless 3-drop to clutter your hand"-beneficial, but hey, at least its not "you-cant-play-here-location #7". BTW, possible remedy to Sentry - make him anti-hood in a way. On-Reveal adds 0-cost Void to hand instead. Void Reads "Other cards can't be played until this one is played" (and other cards can be played at the same turn after Void). Voila! Now Sentry has place in discard, destroy, zero, lockjaw decks and anywhere where Cosmo is.
The thing about Kang is that when it comes to reverse psychology, it's a double edged sword. Both the player that has Kang and his opponent will spend like the entire turn trying to guess what the other will do. When it comes to Kang scouting a card like Wong... I don't know one person that doesn't retreat when they don't have an answer to Wong. I guess he can work well with Magik maybe? You scount the opponents 5th turn, he'll probably show his entire strategy, you revert to turn 5, use Magik and now you have 2 more turns to counter his deck. But even then, I'd you have a good game awareness you probably already know your opponent's deck by what he player turn 1-4.
Also unironically super skrull is probably among the best cards in the thanos mirror. So many thanos decks run blue marvel, Dino, quinjet, soul stone at the very least and super skrull can punish that
Kang is a super interesting card. I like the mind games he opens. The thing ist, YOU know what will happen - but your opponent does as well. @Cozy, could you make a video about Stature?
The issue is what is the negative of you playing? What are you showing? I don't understand how it's showing you're hand? Just snap, play kang. see their turn 5 of 6. Where do they get a read on you?
Another great episode, thank you both. M'Baku is the sort of game dev meme that Mozambique was for a long time in Apex Legends (the Moz is not that bad anymore, but they took such an extremely long time before they got that gun up to an adequate level) I love the Token Shop tier list. I only have a couple of cards left that I really want. I am like one card away from being Pool 3 complete. I just skipped Shuri in the shop, although I've been wanting that card for a while (I suspect whe will be nerfed or "looked" at soon). I also skipped on Kang and Galactus. Finally got to pin down Thanos today. I have been saving up my gold, so hopefully I get enough tokens after the next Token Tuesday bundle to buy Thanos.
Please, to anyone who’s reading this, do not spend 3k tokens on Ghost! Right now I would argue that Shuri is the only card worth paying 3k. Maybe a case could be made for a few others, like Knull or Sauron, but only if you’re building a specific deck that needs them and you really want the card. Everything else can wait until they are in Series 3 where you can get them for 1k or free. Tokens are way too precious to be paying a premium, especially on GHOST 😂
I was really hyped the other day 'cause I got a series 4 drop from a cache. It lasted all of half a second as I realised the card was M'Baku |: Also, my first unlock when moving into Pool 3 was Orka. I think Snap hates me xD
I spent 6k on Stature and absolutely love her. Especially with Sokovia showing up all the time now I definitely feel like there’s tons of games where a card gets discarded. She’s really fun when you get to moon girl and have multiple Statures and turn 6 drop 2 of her plus a She-Hulk. Definitely no reason to buy any of these cards besides the permanent Series 5 for 6k, but she’s definitely worth 3k.
Had my best moments with Mbaku, opponent spam emoting when they think they have won and boom here he comes for the clutch win, happened at least a handful of times and it’s the best feeling. Deserves his own tier 😂
The only glaring issue with Kang that needs to be immediately addressed is the reversal of snaps. If you snap and play Kang, it should not be reversed after the turn. The amount of free cubes people are getting is probably pretty crazy. I dont have him, but I can see how its an issue.
I look forward to the Kitty-Beast combo. Once Beast reduces her cost to zero, she'd be an automatic play and return on every turn (with the updated stats, not the ones shown in the preview here).
I think you should do another ranking video, similar to your ranking of all the pool 3 cards, except with all the Pool 4 & 5 cards. I think it'll be interesting.
For Sauron, he’s great in Shuri lists because he’s a redundancy in case you don’t draw Shuri. Red Skull into a lane with 4 cards on the opponent side is a 5/7. But if you Sauron him he’s still a 5/15. I got him from a reserve and I’m super happy with him. The biggest problem is with Shang-Chi being so prevalent you aren’t able to consistently protect your big cards with Cosmo or Armor.
Cosmo and armor lost their ability with Sharon is the biggest down side. But for my is the aero becomes the perfect card. With typhoon Mary and red kill leading 2 lane, more often than not you'll have priority, aero will save you from the shangchi.
@@kenji0403 u mean 'leader is back and no one expects it'? he played like 4 matches and only once was leader skill ever used, how is that enough sample size to say leader is good?leader still sucks in the long run
Kitty Pride activates Collector just like Beast does, she's a huge boost to Bounce decks. I could see some crazy combos, like solo boosting Angela. I'm excited for Nimrod, I could see him going off in a Deadpool-Venom destroy shell, with Zola or Knull as the endgame.
I hate to be that guy crying for nerfs on release but I hope a future adjustment gives the card a restriction : Restart your turn with 1 less Energy, or restart your turn but you can only play 1 card next turn.
I have Kang pinned but now I’m not so sure. I have galactus but as Thor would say, “Bring me Thanos!” Thinking of unpinning kang and hoping for the mad titan
Yea, it all depends on what ur looking for... Thanos as a whole is s more "powerful" card that has its own atchtype..archetype... where as Kang is a "Tech" card that can fit in just about any deck... Ibgot Kang first since uts more fun to me, but both are solid...
Kitty Pride is a improved night crawler, goes back to hand play it again anywhere you want, you can do it every turn, or your can keep the 1 energy for something else. You can also think of it as a 1/0 psylock that you can use the energy at which ever turn you want instead of only for next turn. I'll say she's worth at least 3k
She can't be played into unreachable locations and requires extra energy to move so I'd say they'e equal. But she's nuts with the location that doubles power on play, it's like playing deadpool into DD.
Shuri should be listed as "Worth it at 6k" doesn't matter that she doesn't cost 6k anymore she is still worth that much haha. Also i'm 100% on board with the "Series 6" idea (i actually just watched Jeff Hoogland's breakdown and suggested exactly this in the comments haha)
Just a heads-up that as someone who hasn't seen kang played yet I don't know what it means that snapping is risk free. I would've appreciated a little more explanation on that regard. However awesome work as always guys.
When you play kang it rewinds to the start of the turn, so if you snapped that turn it will go back to you having not snapped, so you can try to scare your opponent into retreating by snapping but if they don’t retreat it still gets reset anyways so there was no commitment on your part
Kate Pryde wedding dress is iconic. She ghosted right out of there before she almost married the wrong Rasputin sibling. Gambit and Rogue stole the wedding after that. Funniest variant.
Kang is the perfect card for my play style. I like having options in deck and Kang gives me more information to finish the game. I went from barely reaching rank 60 to approaching rank 90.
I think Sentry is just a response card to Cosmo, that's in a best case scenario for now. Cool art and idea but it just doesn't work unless viper gets cheaper.
An easy to get deck which gets me a decent cube rate that no one seems to use: wasp, squirrel-girl, mysterio, sinister, mojo, bishop, patriot, mystique, dazzler, blue marvel, doom, onslaught.
Great snap chat episode, keep up the great work! Do you think that second dinner will adjust the season pass unlocks after level 50? After level 50 in the season pass shouldn't give you anything less than unlocks prior to level 50. Like no 50 credits or 10 boosters, it's so discouraging getting those multiple times in a row.
Galactus is worth the tokens. He was the first token buy I made when the shop opened and I use that deck all the time. He's a "get right" deck for me. I'll try other decks when I get bored but I always come back to G. He's a bit one note like Destroyer. But he's an easy deck to pilot to the point where you know by turn 4 if you need to retreat or not and at that token price, not many people have him so he's generally a surprise on the board.
People see galactus coming a mile out. I piloted a galactus deck to inifinte last season This season people see it coming a mile out I don't know how anyone is having success with me other than the occasional 2 cube retreat
@@Skrewdbylife I do most of the retreating with my G deck cuz of crappy pulls or bad locations. I don’t win every game. No deck does, but if I play for an hour or so, I’ve gained ranks and not lost them. And most wins with most decks are 1 and 2 cube wins. You just don’t get the all in pushes very often.
@@Skrewdbylife It doesn't matter if I see it coming when it's broken. If I don't have cosmo or aero for the galactus turn, it's always over. And if you have 2 lanes open it's even harder to counter.
I think M'Baku popping out at the end of the match makes for great clips and laughs, but that's about it. Maybe Lockjaw is the only place to play him. Another great episode!
I can't count the number of games won with Sauron into Mary into Redskull, turn 6 so nice when you can Arero/Taskmaster + Maw, a playable Maw on turn 6 makes quite the difference
I'm interested in all three cards. Kitty Pride with Beast would be a great combo. Make her 0 cost then just continue to move her every round. Also Negasonic synergies well with Nimrod
The fact that The Shadow King does not affects the ongoing cards still amazes me. I still think he should be a full on counter to Cerebro and other Blue Marvels. That is what I have imagined when they have shown him and that is how he should work. All cards back to the original power NO MATTER WHAT.
What do you think, should they make it so that Kang does not fix random effects, so that all random effects would still be random? It would still be lore-accurate as every moment has infinite possibilities and every Timeline diverges. And it would also nerf the card since it is a very unbalanced card right now.
If you see this lol. Orka is good with mister fantastic, klaw, blue marvel, omega red, mystique combo. Sentry is fun if playing green/hobgoblem, then use cards like zero, cosmo, enchantress to play attuma, red skull and some others
Naw man, nimrod for cerebro 5 with deathlok. Best combo for him ;) Also the March update just came out and it shows kitty pride as a 1-0 that adds +2 power.
I see them changing Shuri to something like a 5/3 or maybe 5/4 to stop the crazy turn six Taskmaster plays. Or at least forcing you into a less efficient, more RNG, ramp deck to pull it off with Electro one turn three.
I think an overlooked combo is going to be Negasonic into Nimrod! you can go Negasonic on 3 or 4, Nimrod same lane if your opponent is yet to play there, and final turn you can run something like carnage Venom for some massage power outputs.
Thank you for being honest about this card. Showing pros and cons. I like what Alex said you aren't winning 8 cube games. Mostly 1 or 2 tops. Lots of retreats. Not fun to play on my end. And cozy saying you already know what they will play. Not seeing the high cube rates or consistency.
Kang's free bluff mechanic is like calling all in before river and decide to fold or not without having to pay anything other than small bind after seeing it
He should do more ya he restarts the turn but that doesn't change anything u can just play the same way u first played , first of all remove the on reveal text so that the current Kang lock won't happen which is very toxic and he wouldn't be countered by Cosmo second both player cannot play cards at the location where he was played for that turn his name is Kang the conqueror to me this ability is very fitting like he conquered the lane where he was played
@Zuzu Muzu the current Kang is just dare devil but costly considering his permenent series5 place he has to do something more maybe locking both players from playing the first card at this location for that turn only would be enough
I unlocked sentry when it was still a series 5 card when my CL is around 1400. Then I tried to draw viper from caches in order to collaborate with my sentry. Now my CL is 2600+, and I still haven't have my viper unlocked....
Kang is a card that gets worse the better you get at the game. Being able to predict your opponent’s plays is the main skill in this game and given the consistency of seeing cards you can do it reliable. Kang costs a card to get you information on your opponent, but it was info you could have already gathered without going -1. Kang might help you catch an opponent’s bluff but above 70 there is little to no bluffing.
After overnight testing, Kang is becoming more and more impressive. Especially with control!
Time with tell 😬
Great video guys love your thoughts on kang. Just wanted to mention that people sleep on bast in galactus decks. Turn 1 bast turn 2 Adam warlock for consistent Galactus pull knull works with bast shang shi spider man wolverine alot of key pieces in galactus deck have no negative impact on them death being the exception.

He's honestly just too confusing and obtuse to add to any deck at this point.
The M’Borka tier name is right there, cmon 😂
I feel like sera control would be killer with kang
Snapping and Lockhaw pulls are a really weird fit
Much love Cozy! Thanks for another fun episode, and thank you to everyone who watches, listens, and supports our content!
Have you tried M'Baku with Lockjaw in Cerebro 2?
I say it again: I LOVE these 2 together!

Yeah, this is a phenomenal idea dude!
Yes new locations and not ones that completely destroy the ability to play. I've retreated so many times because of stupid lane combos LOL
@@shinobi7mm right? “Oh, okay, can’t play there, it’s okay, I’ll work around-… can only play 6 cost characters? What kind of-… Your first card can’t be played here?? Dammit Snap!” 😅
I love featured locations! You get to build a deck around it. It’s basically like the location is in your deck
Alex is a teacher, dad and UA-camr and streamers every week and got to infinite as well
As a former SeaWorld employee I wholeheartedly agree with the Orka ranking.
They should Free Willy 😜
Great idea on a series 6 for the top cards to sit in and series 5 for general new releases. One thing I hope is that the people behind snap can be quicker to improve the game from influencers and players ideas and much quicker balance changes.

I love that Cozy watched animated 90's X-Men. And remembered Nimrod being a futuristic Sentinel. Good for you.
I got Sentry in a Cache yesterday :/
My condolences
Good lore knowledge on Nimrod Cozy. In the cartoon he was indestructible and kept reassembling after being destroyed.
Kang definitely should not let the user to revert their snap, however it should revert the opponents.
How Kang is currently, He’s definitely OP. I gained 20 ranks to Infinite by just slotting him into my ramp deck. Like the guys said, you will get countless 1 and 2 cube games. However, there’s also a visual glitch that can cheap out potential 4-8 cube wins. If you snap during the Kang animation (the button is still intractable despite you not seeing it), the opponent usually can’t see you have snapped. So they will think they are only in for 2 cubes rather than 4 (since there is a visual glitch for Kang and reverted snaps).
Anyways here’s the deck for anyone interested.
Sun Spot, Invisible Woman, Daredevil, Electro, Wave, Sandman, Captain Marvel, Aero, Professor X, Kang, Doom, Odin.
Ideally do not play Wave unless absolutely necessary to get Sand Man out. I’ve actually ended up retreating most times Wave is played. Play Captain Marvel behind Invisible Woman since almost no one suspects any lane to be given an additional 6 power later on. Everything else is standard. If the opponent snaps on T5, I’ll play Kang to see what they think is a winning play, to decide if I want to leave or not. If they don’t, then snap on and play Kang T6. Everything else is typical Electro Ramp. Try to get Sandman out on T4. If you can’t, don’t be scared to retreat if they snap. Its 1 cube, don’t worry.
And whatever you do, do not get baited into destroying your Electro with locations that will do that. You never need to play more than one card a turn, so keep the extra 2 power on the board (unless board space will be very limited). This also is great to trick your opponent into thinking you are suffering a very big negative (especially if your lower ranked, higher ranks will have a pretty good idea what you’re playing.
Some substitutes if you want: Leader or Magneto in for Professor X, You can swap Wave for Ebony Maw or Lizard. That will leave you with only Electro to get Sandman out early, but again through my experience, Wave almost always helps the opponent more than it did for me.
Kitty Pryde + Bishop + Collector = Crazy numbers (especially if playing the obvious: bounce deck)
Just want to thank you guys for putting out great content every week. Always look forward to the podcasts every week
My current favorite place for Kang is in my Valkyrie control deck. I pulled out Mojo and slotted in Kang in his place, and he does really well to make sure your turn 6 Valkyrie play will go as expected.
27:10 Mbaku is a 1 drop. He very decent in thanos and cebro 2. He’s far better than dazzler, ghost, etc. While not the most optimal he’s still fits far better within these decks. And this isn’t just my opinion but also kmbest opinion
I’ve been saying M’Baku looks like a C2 trap card for a while now too
How's he better than ghost? I have to retreat so many times just because I have priority. Mbaku needs the stars to line up to get value. There's only a 25% chance he will jump, then a 33% chance he'll jump to the location you want and a 33% chance he'll actually make a difference.
lol NOTE: The monster behind "Kingpin" is Shadow King. He famously possesses the Pin. Also, read up on Nimrod. He's basically an OP mutant nullifier sentinel.
I agree with both of you - we need to have ONLY the cards that are never dropping down in series 5 or create a new category for them. a Legendary Series or something - they can even name it something fun and more creative.
This Snap Chat and Dekster's trivia games are my favorite content from Marvel Snap. Keep up the good work!
I think Shadow King needs a fix. There is almost nothing that he does that Shang-Chi doesn't, and Shang-Chi counters so much more. Personally I think his effect should be "Ongoing: cards in this lane have power equal to their base power (this effect overrides any other ongoing effects)" then we have a counter to Dracula, Patriot, and way more things that Shang doesn't hit.
I am so glad I found you channel, your content is so enjoyable :)!
New Snapchat graphical layout looking sick.
kitty ability should have been to make cards in one line phase-able so attacks from gambit and killmonger would phase through them.
Sentry Apologist checking in! I've been finding quite a bit of success playing a Valkyrie, Thanos, Sentry deck! Valkanry...if you will.
Valkanry: Hood, Ant-Man, Zero, Mojo, Viper, Cosmo, Maximus, Sentry, Kang (or Wasp), Valkyrie, Red Skull, Thanos.
The stones help fill the right lane for Valkyrie and Soul Stone + Ant-Man or Mojo can help swing it further.
Cosmo/Zero negate Sentry if you never drew Valk. Space let's you move Sentry.
Plus there's a sneaky Viper play. Turn 2: Time Stone. Turn 3: Sentry. Turn 4 Viper + Stoned, Hood, or Mojo. Doesn't even wreck your curve.
With this deck, you're not relying on the Viper plays, but it's their if you want it. Plus worst comes to worst, you can always just dump the right lane as a trash lane w/ Void and Hood.
One other sneaky play is to fill the right lane with the space stone as your 4th card, so you can Sentry for free, then move something next turn.
For anyone curious I wrote a deck guide on snapzone: marvelsnapzone.com/decks/captain-clouds-valkanry/

Negasonic is a sneaky counter to some Galactus lines if you're already winning the location
The variants are always bangers. Do you guys think we will ever get the option to use whichever border we like?
I'm PRAYING this becomes an option. I have this Ultron variant that looks INSANE with the Red Border. Then when I super upgraded for the rainbow it really killed the card for me.
im currently geetting every card to blue border so i will have full blue border decks, fun sideproject
I saw on Reddit that the devs confirmed they will do it
@@thebros8157 IK, i hope they let us do that, and i hope they also give us the option to choose if we want an animated glowing border/logo or not
Genuinely, I’m glad I’m not the only person that wants this.
Kitty Pryde will for sure enable Angela and Collector.
A bit late for the new episode but happy to look at it, my fav show, love what u did with the models, i think you can make a border, frames for your facecam and to look better on top with that glow but eh, preferances, love the talk and all, i watched from first episode and now its already 18, hope this game continue and they can adjust the new cards somehow so we can acces or get hiped about them
I always look forward to yalls podcast. Keep up the great work guys!
One thing that I do like about Sentry as somebody who runs him in a variation of a Destroyer deck is that a lot of times you can toss a Bucky right side early in the game, Sentry elsewhere under an armor on 4, or in conjunction with Prof X on 5 and then people rarely have that 13 power swing in mind when Destroyer comes in on 6. Have also won a few cubes with the Prof X right nullifying the Sentry on 6 regardless which can add some solid power late in the event that you didn’t pull Destroyer and want more than Chavez’s 9. Not a great card by any means, but has done some solid work for me this season.
Negasonic is a much appreciated tech card against galactus decks. See that lane being left open? electro gets played? drop her in the empty lane
I got a question, a suggestion and a compliment, I’m a triple threat today:
1. I Watch the pod on UA-cam 75% of the time but when it drops while I’m on the go I listen on Apple Podcasts. Whenever I do that I make sure to still come drop likes on both the videos later but it occurred to me today that average watch time is part of the YT algorithm. Is it helpful to pop into each video for 5 seconds, drop a like then leave or is that doing more harm than good?
2. Not necessary for cards everyone knows, but for the audio listeners I’d humbly suggest making sure to read the text when discussing new/upcoming cards. I had to pause and look up Nimrod in the car to follow that discussion today
3. It’s so awesome to watch y’all develop your craft as podcasters. Y’all started in a great place as two talented YT creators and genuinely get better as podcasters every single week. The pace of the podcast, the topics covered and most of all yalls rapport with each other, leaps and bounds dudes. I enjoy this game so much more cause of y’all. See y’all next week
Cozy, I know you reading these. Here's an idea for future topics (reminded me with Orka discussion).
There is TOO many disruptive locations. I mean its all fun and games but when you are dicked not only by your draw and opponent but by every other location - it's just not fun. And it wasn't like that 3-4 month ago. We need more "tame" locations or, dare I say it, beneficial locations? And I'm not talking about "Here's a useless 3-drop to clutter your hand"-beneficial, but hey, at least its not "you-cant-play-here-location #7".
BTW, possible remedy to Sentry - make him anti-hood in a way. On-Reveal adds 0-cost Void to hand instead. Void Reads "Other cards can't be played until this one is played" (and other cards can be played at the same turn after Void). Voila! Now Sentry has place in discard, destroy, zero, lockjaw decks and anywhere where Cosmo is.
The thing about Kang is that when it comes to reverse psychology, it's a double edged sword. Both the player that has Kang and his opponent will spend like the entire turn trying to guess what the other will do.
When it comes to Kang scouting a card like Wong... I don't know one person that doesn't retreat when they don't have an answer to Wong.
I guess he can work well with Magik maybe? You scount the opponents 5th turn, he'll probably show his entire strategy, you revert to turn 5, use Magik and now you have 2 more turns to counter his deck. But even then, I'd you have a good game awareness you probably already know your opponent's deck by what he player turn 1-4.
Also unironically super skrull is probably among the best cards in the thanos mirror. So many thanos decks run blue marvel, Dino, quinjet, soul stone at the very least and super skrull can punish that
Dino is pretty popular lately, surprised to see 0 skrull.
Kang is a super interesting card. I like the mind games he opens. The thing ist, YOU know what will happen - but your opponent does as well. @Cozy, could you make a video about Stature?
He really won't though, because you'll only play Kang and reveal no other info
The issue is what is the negative of you playing? What are you showing? I don't understand how it's showing you're hand? Just snap, play kang. see their turn 5 of 6. Where do they get a read on you?
@@JB-es9un the negative is that they can change their play and you can misled
@@paulakroy2635 unless they have some info cards that knows what cards you have it’s pretty much a high reward card
Kitty Pride + Lockjaw will be interesting.
Alex ripping into one of my favorite comic characters Sentry😭
Another great episode, thank you both.
M'Baku is the sort of game dev meme that Mozambique was for a long time in Apex Legends (the Moz is not that bad anymore, but they took such an extremely long time before they got that gun up to an adequate level)
I love the Token Shop tier list. I only have a couple of cards left that I really want. I am like one card away from being Pool 3 complete. I just skipped Shuri in the shop, although I've been wanting that card for a while (I suspect whe will be nerfed or "looked" at soon). I also skipped on Kang and Galactus. Finally got to pin down Thanos today. I have been saving up my gold, so hopefully I get enough tokens after the next Token Tuesday bundle to buy Thanos.
Nimrod was one of the coolest anti-hero/villains back in the 80s. I recall thinking he was a full on hero when I was a kid. A lone wolf for sure.
Please, to anyone who’s reading this, do not spend 3k tokens on Ghost! Right now I would argue that Shuri is the only card worth paying 3k. Maybe a case could be made for a few others, like Knull or Sauron, but only if you’re building a specific deck that needs them and you really want the card. Everything else can wait until they are in Series 3 where you can get them for 1k or free. Tokens are way too precious to be paying a premium, especially on GHOST 😂
o7
I was really hyped the other day 'cause I got a series 4 drop from a cache. It lasted all of half a second as I realised the card was M'Baku |: Also, my first unlock when moving into Pool 3 was Orka. I think Snap hates me xD
I spent 6k on Stature and absolutely love her. Especially with Sokovia showing up all the time now I definitely feel like there’s tons of games where a card gets discarded. She’s really fun when you get to moon girl and have multiple Statures and turn 6 drop 2 of her plus a She-Hulk. Definitely no reason to buy any of these cards besides the permanent Series 5 for 6k, but she’s definitely worth 3k.
She looks great and I want an excuse to flex my black bolt variant
Had my best moments with Mbaku, opponent spam emoting when they think they have won and boom here he comes for the clutch win, happened at least a handful of times and it’s the best feeling. Deserves his own tier 😂
the one time i got a mbaku jump he jumped on to bar with no name. never played him again
Great episode guys, as usual. Enjoyed the tier list.
The only glaring issue with Kang that needs to be immediately addressed is the reversal of snaps. If you snap and play Kang, it should not be reversed after the turn. The amount of free cubes people are getting is probably pretty crazy. I dont have him, but I can see how its an issue.
If u take the reversal of snaps then he’s just a worse daredevil. Like he’s already a 5/0 only thing he was is the mind game
I look forward to the Kitty-Beast combo. Once Beast reduces her cost to zero, she'd be an automatic play and return on every turn (with the updated stats, not the ones shown in the preview here).
No mentions of Shuri into Nimrod into Zola... The chaos shall ensue. Great video as always fellas!
Kang and the issue with snapping is there in other places too like snapping and wiping limbo. If it's fixed with Kang it needs be fixed elsewhere too.
The 3 cards above the tier list are my three last unlocks aha, I opened shuri then she-hulk I had pinned in the token shop the Aero took its place ^^
I think you should do another ranking video, similar to your ranking of all the pool 3 cards, except with all the Pool 4 & 5 cards. I think it'll be interesting.
41:00: “You could not live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me.”
For Sauron, he’s great in Shuri lists because he’s a redundancy in case you don’t draw Shuri. Red Skull into a lane with 4 cards on the opponent side is a 5/7. But if you Sauron him he’s still a 5/15. I got him from a reserve and I’m super happy with him. The biggest problem is with Shang-Chi being so prevalent you aren’t able to consistently protect your big cards with Cosmo or Armor.
Cosmo and armor lost their ability with Sharon is the biggest down side. But for my is the aero becomes the perfect card. With typhoon Mary and red kill leading 2 lane, more often than not you'll have priority, aero will save you from the shangchi.
@@CasualGamerThrai yeah it’s just redundancy. Draw won’t always be good so it just gives more than 1 option
You'd think Leader would make a little bit of a comeback with Kang out there.
nah leader still sucks
Watch molt
@@kenji0403 u mean 'leader is back and no one expects it'? he played like 4 matches and only once was leader skill ever used, how is that enough sample size to say leader is good?leader still sucks in the long run
Kitty Pride activates Collector just like Beast does, she's a huge boost to Bounce decks. I could see some crazy combos, like solo boosting Angela. I'm excited for Nimrod, I could see him going off in a Deadpool-Venom destroy shell, with Zola or Knull as the endgame.
I hate to be that guy crying for nerfs on release but I hope a future adjustment gives the card a restriction : Restart your turn with 1 less Energy, or restart your turn but you can only play 1 card next turn.
I have Kang pinned but now I’m not so sure. I have galactus but as Thor would say, “Bring me Thanos!” Thinking of unpinning kang and hoping for the mad titan
I’m working on the Mad Titan atm
Yea, it all depends on what ur looking for... Thanos as a whole is s more "powerful" card that has its own atchtype..archetype... where as Kang is a "Tech" card that can fit in just about any deck... Ibgot Kang first since uts more fun to me, but both are solid...
Nimrod is the top of the chain sentinel from the future, that also gained sentience
Kitty Pride is a improved night crawler, goes back to hand play it again anywhere you want, you can do it every turn, or your can keep the 1 energy for something else. You can also think of it as a 1/0 psylock that you can use the energy at which ever turn you want instead of only for next turn. I'll say she's worth at least 3k
She can't be played into unreachable locations and requires extra energy to move so I'd say they'e equal. But she's nuts with the location that doubles power on play, it's like playing deadpool into DD.
I kinda like Orka as a substitute for Destroyer, because obviously this game loves me and i pulled Orka before Destroyer😂
Valk Cerebro won me the most 8 cubes. its insane how you can mess up the opponent.
My favorite weekly Snap episodes. Keep it up, boys! 💪🏼
Shuri should be listed as "Worth it at 6k" doesn't matter that she doesn't cost 6k anymore she is still worth that much haha.
Also i'm 100% on board with the "Series 6" idea (i actually just watched Jeff Hoogland's breakdown and suggested exactly this in the comments haha)
Good chat. Suggestion please make sure you show the card you talk about. I don’t have some of the cards mentioned in the video.
Just a heads-up that as someone who hasn't seen kang played yet I don't know what it means that snapping is risk free. I would've appreciated a little more explanation on that regard. However awesome work as always guys.
When you play kang it rewinds to the start of the turn, so if you snapped that turn it will go back to you having not snapped, so you can try to scare your opponent into retreating by snapping but if they don’t retreat it still gets reset anyways so there was no commitment on your part
@@jtruls ahhh I didn't realize it reset the snap as well. That makes sense and is super interesting to say the least
Bast is amazing. From a cache is easily the most fun 1 drop hands down. And is dirty with Luke Cage fantastic in Patriot and Surfer decks
Love y'alls tier lists. Thanks for all the content.
I think you should wait to pull the big three from collector cache. The excitement is incomparable to get him from the collector token
I'll probably never spend 6K tokens for Kang. It's a shame, though, it looks like a fun card.
Kate Pryde wedding dress is iconic. She ghosted right out of there before she almost married the wrong Rasputin sibling. Gambit and Rogue stole the wedding after that. Funniest variant.
Kang is the perfect card for my play style. I like having options in deck and Kang gives me more information to finish the game. I went from barely reaching rank 60 to approaching rank 90.
I think Sentry is just a response card to Cosmo, that's in a best case scenario for now. Cool art and idea but it just doesn't work unless viper gets cheaper.
I agree but making it so you can play him right is too restrictive imo
Gl with your 4/8 against 30 power red skull copied by taskmaster.
An easy to get deck which gets me a decent cube rate that no one seems to use:
wasp, squirrel-girl, mysterio, sinister, mojo, bishop, patriot, mystique, dazzler, blue marvel, doom, onslaught.
Great snap chat episode, keep up the great work! Do you think that second dinner will adjust the season pass unlocks after level 50? After level 50 in the season pass shouldn't give you anything less than unlocks prior to level 50. Like no 50 credits or 10 boosters, it's so discouraging getting those multiple times in a row.
This episode is marvelous!!!
Super looking forward to a Master Mold Ronin deck
Kang is so interesting! I can’t wait to unlock him. I have him pinned in my shop right now.
Galactus is worth the tokens. He was the first token buy I made when the shop opened and I use that deck all the time. He's a "get right" deck for me. I'll try other decks when I get bored but I always come back to G. He's a bit one note like Destroyer. But he's an easy deck to pilot to the point where you know by turn 4 if you need to retreat or not and at that token price, not many people have him so he's generally a surprise on the board.
People see galactus coming a mile out. I piloted a galactus deck to inifinte last season
This season people see it coming a mile out
I don't know how anyone is having success with me other than the occasional 2 cube retreat
@@Skrewdbylife I do most of the retreating with my G deck cuz of crappy pulls or bad locations. I don’t win every game. No deck does, but if I play for an hour or so, I’ve gained ranks and not lost them. And most wins with most decks are 1 and 2 cube wins. You just don’t get the all in pushes very often.
@@Skrewdbylife It doesn't matter if I see it coming when it's broken. If I don't have cosmo or aero for the galactus turn, it's always over. And if you have 2 lanes open it's even harder to counter.
I think M'Baku popping out at the end of the match makes for great clips and laughs, but that's about it. Maybe Lockjaw is the only place to play him. Another great episode!
I can't count the number of games won with Sauron into Mary into Redskull, turn 6 so nice when you can Arero/Taskmaster + Maw, a playable Maw on turn 6 makes quite the difference
I'm interested in all three cards. Kitty Pride with Beast would be a great combo. Make her 0 cost then just continue to move her every round. Also Negasonic synergies well with Nimrod
The fact that The Shadow King does not affects the ongoing cards still amazes me. I still think he should be a full on counter to Cerebro and other Blue Marvels. That is what I have imagined when they have shown him and that is how he should work. All cards back to the original power NO MATTER WHAT.
What do you think, should they make it so that Kang does not fix random effects, so that all random effects would still be random? It would still be lore-accurate as every moment has infinite possibilities and every Timeline diverges. And it would also nerf the card since it is a very unbalanced card right now.
100%!
If you see this lol. Orka is good with mister fantastic, klaw, blue marvel, omega red, mystique combo.
Sentry is fun if playing green/hobgoblem, then use cards like zero, cosmo, enchantress to play attuma, red skull and some others
Naw man, nimrod for cerebro 5 with deathlok. Best combo for him ;)
Also the March update just came out and it shows kitty pride as a 1-0 that adds +2 power.
I could actually play shadow king today with that new location. They play sunspot. I play ongoing effects and shadow king
I have been playing your blue devil deck and I got to say when I get Shanna from Colson absolutely clutch turn 6 play
Another Snap Chat. You love to see it!
I see them changing Shuri to something like a 5/3 or maybe 5/4 to stop the crazy turn six Taskmaster plays. Or at least forcing you into a less efficient, more RNG, ramp deck to pull it off with Electro one turn three.
My last 3 collection level unlocks….orka then m’baku, and just yesterday……..shanna
Oooo Kitty Pryde, bounce decks about to get crazy LOL Falcon and Beast will see a lot more play. I already got wheels turning LOL
I think an overlooked combo is going to be Negasonic into Nimrod! you can go Negasonic on 3 or 4, Nimrod same lane if your opponent is yet to play there, and final turn you can run something like carnage Venom for some massage power outputs.
Can you destroy the destroyed nimrod?
I am always looking forward to the SnapChat Lets goooo
Thank you for being honest about this card. Showing pros and cons. I like what Alex said you aren't winning 8 cube games. Mostly 1 or 2 tops. Lots of retreats. Not fun to play on my end. And cozy saying you already know what they will play. Not seeing the high cube rates or consistency.
Kitty pride can work somewhere near angela and colletor for a scaling deck, might use bishop as well
Kang's free bluff mechanic is like calling all in before river and decide to fold or not without having to pay anything other than small bind after seeing it
He should do more ya he restarts the turn but that doesn't change anything u can just play the same way u first played , first of all remove the on reveal text so that the current Kang lock won't happen which is very toxic and he wouldn't be countered by Cosmo second both player cannot play cards at the location where he was played for that turn his name is Kang the conqueror to me this ability is very fitting like he conquered the lane where he was played
@Zuzu Muzu the current Kang is just dare devil but costly considering his permenent series5 place he has to do something more maybe locking both players from playing the first card at this location for that turn only would be enough
I unlocked sentry when it was still a series 5 card when my CL is around 1400. Then I tried to draw viper from caches in order to collaborate with my sentry. Now my CL is 2600+, and I still haven't have my viper unlocked....
I feel like the free snap bluff is what makes him, each of the big bads need to be good. I like the whole free snap aspect personally.
Kang is a card that gets worse the better you get at the game. Being able to predict your opponent’s plays is the main skill in this game and given the consistency of seeing cards you can do it reliable. Kang costs a card to get you information on your opponent, but it was info you could have already gathered without going -1. Kang might help you catch an opponent’s bluff but above 70 there is little to no bluffing.
