I sadly can't trust this review since it's just an HONEST review and not a BRUTALLY HONEST review Edit: I like how some people thought I was serious. I'm just glad Alex found it funny.
He feels so good in surfer, and makes the deck more consistent when you cant hit the brood->surfer playline. He can genuinely hold down a lane on his own in a way that surfer is lacking
As someone who has literally never played Sera Surfer... i did the autodeck fill on Shaw and have really enjoyed it - as you say, reliable, strong, does what a season pass card should I also like that it does work with daken too so you can run nova, killmonger, daken for that extra little boost :D
Alex you're the best Marvel snap creator !!! I really enjoy watching your videos bc you're so natural and always honest about cards and everything. and yes I remember that you mentioned in a video that season pass premium variant should exist, so grateful that you speak as a player and try your best to push the max benefits for the players bc you're a great snap player after all and you know exactly what players needs from the game to keep it fun and worth playing👍👍🤩
Now we need emotes in the season pass too, instead of the useless boosters. Not but seriously, no one is excited about the boosters. I'd rather have less levels to the season pass instead of having boosters as fillers, basically. Also, who's opening collector's reserves??? Keep up the great content Alex!
Thanks again for doing all the testing day 1 of the pass! Always great to hang in Twitch chat and see how the new card plays out. (Also 100% feel honored ta get shouted out for the thumb title in the vid description ^-^).
I have 10 pool 3 cards left for my collection. And Surfer is still missing 😭 collection level 3,879. But, I’ll be avidly looking for Surfer as my free pool 3 card this season lol
SURFER SEASON WAS MY FAVORITE TIME IN SNAP OMG😭 I remember hitting 140+ with surfer haha good times, it’s stupid nice highest I’ve gotten him so far is 21 with Muir island 😮💨
I’ve been playing a pool 1/pool 2 deck with Shaw with America, Forge, Okoye and Nakia and I’ve gone from 33 to 73. It’s been so much fun. He acts basically as my 6 cost of the deck 😂. It also helps that there’s been a bunch of locations to boosts his ability too
Shaw feels a little weak IMO. Idk if that's because he needs more supporting buff cards, he is in fact undertuned, he is too easily countered by Shadow King OR because we've become so accustomed to cards like Elsa, Loki, Ms. Marvel and new cards like WWBN, Annihilus etc recently that Shaw feels underwhelming but is actually quite balanced. Still, he is one of those cards that can only get better and better with every buff card added.
@@HyuchaKyrie And I can slap WWBN into any deck, no need to draft around him, run alongside another package within a shell with 2-3 other win conditions, see better results and not have him be a sitting duck to Shang-Chi and Shadow King as he moves around. Likewise I can throw two cards, Annihilus and Sentry, into any deck and Sentry becomes a 4/20. So... Yeah. 3/12 or 3/15 after buffing him with 3-4 cards inside a decklist designed to do that, on balance, seems weak to me.
@@HyuchaKyrie You could nerf WWBN right down to 3/0. He'd still see similar Power to Shaw, still fit in most decklists and still be better at dodging Shadow King and Shang-Chi. All you did was make him move one more time to make the difference. There are not only more On Reveal cards than there are cards that buff Power, but they're not as niche (so WWBN has more synergy) and they tend to be cheaper in Energy cost too. All this completely besides the point. There are previous season pass cards and recent new releases that overshadow Shaw. Shaw could be balanced, those cards could be broken. That would make Shaw comparatively weaker.
I thought Daken would be good, but it's just so hard to set everything up in order to double his power in my experience. You can't just have Daken, you need discard or destroy cards and you have to draw them, have the energy for them, etc. But Shaw seems really nice with essentially double buffs! Luckily I haven't gone against Shang-Chi which could easily destroy him at high power but so far he's been so good!
I absolutely hope that he isn't as dominating as the last three season pass cards were (Elsa, Loki and Ms Marvel), even if he is the highlight of the month. It's of course important that pass buyers get something for their money but another broken card would just suck for f2p players
It's weird that they wouldn't offer a surfer bundle in the shop with this card's release. I don't have surfer yet and I don't feel like Shaw really fits in any other archetype. I really feel like Second Dinner should offer bundles of cards that really enable that season's season pass card at the start of the season. Like a $15 bundle with 2-3 cards that work well with that season's card. For this season, a surfer and brood bundle would have been nice for those of us that aren't all the way through pool 3 yet.
I've been playing snap today and my America Chavez has been 6 9 still. I got Shaw from the pass and Jeff from the spotlight so everything else worked but the card changes didn't go through until I manually updated the app in the appstore. Any idea what would have caused this or what would have happened had I not searched for the update?
The card changes were part of the patch, so your app had to be updated before you saw the changes. If you chose not to update, you would have just been matched with the other players who haven't updated yet.
@@jk12324 That actually makes me feel a lot better. I am so used to Duel Links announcing a change and then implementing it 2-3 weeks later. I didn't realize the change was supposed to have happened already until I clicked the video and saw the updated version. I felt so bad thinking I had accidentally been cheating all day
running surfer shaw (btw I had surfer, hit the auto include for the last 3 options, automatically gave me Sera lol) AND werewolf forge chavez etc. It's so much fun
Is say so far if he is a card that only works with silver surfer then he is pretty limited. He seems a good add-on to silver surfer. The question is what else can he fit with.
@@Grimmfairytailhe's not wrong look at elsa bloodstone dude. Great season pass card only to be fucking changed 3 times within a month. But yeah let's keep werewolf by night as a CONSTANT 3-13 3-18 worth of fucking power
Love the look of the card from the Xmen Animated Series! Still bummed they havent roped in Dark Phoenix after the Hellfire Clubs dabblings with her in the series! They should have Windguard and Leland for the season. Sorry im a big fan of the series!
That means you haven't updated the game yet. You don't have any of the changes and if you play you'll only play against bots or others that haven't updated yet but eventually the game will force you to update to play
Screw second dinner for nerfing, modok, dracula, Apocalypse, mobius because of Chaves nerf. Else bloodstone nerfed and daken. Disgusting. Done with this game.
Thank you for the information, but I think you might have forgotten that even paying for a season pass you don't get all the cards from that season. For instance I don't own two of the cards you are showing. I paid for seasons since it started. Just think about that when you show off decks. Great job reporting.
I think its safe to say the autofill isnt..very good lol. I put in Patriot, to see what kind of patriot deck it made. Not only was it a bad deck, it didnt add a single card that has no text LOL. Also it was obsessed with putting Apocalypse into a destroy deck.

Edit: I like how some people thought I was serious. I'm just glad Alex found it funny.
Is it Brutal if it's positive?
Do you just want to be told it’s trash?
Stop 😂
Its a combo reliant card that I have yet to lose to. Fun to stomp on the the copy paste season pass decks.
Imagine thinking shaw is bad when it has baseline stats with no downsides
As an avid Surfer player, this card is an absolute blast to play. So much fun boosting him right and left. We need a Kevin Bacon variant ASAP.
I wish.
Ahh yes, from Footloose.
It would be nice to have a spotlight key in the season pass also!
yeah i think there should be bonus rewards past 50, like a key at 75 or something so it's hard to get but rewards those who finish the pass early
Absolutely!!
The nerf to elsa stone is such a slap in the face to everyone that bought that pass
I think in general you should get most cards, because eventually they will fit into a meta deck
He feels so good in surfer, and makes the deck more consistent when you cant hit the brood->surfer playline. He can genuinely hold down a lane on his own in a way that surfer is lacking
honestly i play shaw AND daken (with help from forge, nakia and okoye) since both can go tall in lanes but shaw is clearly better
You were the first thing I thought of when I saw the PMV lol… love the podcast & your channel, thanks for everything!
As someone who has literally never played Sera Surfer... i did the autodeck fill on Shaw and have really enjoyed it - as you say, reliable, strong, does what a season pass card should
I also like that it does work with daken too so you can run nova, killmonger, daken for that extra little boost :D

The people who open collectors reserves are the same people who click on rewards in the collectors track. No reason not to.
I have 20 unique dan hipp variants and only one of them is in the collection list.
does magik 3 wong 4 shaw 5 ironheart surfur 6 odin 7 works?
Thanks again for doing all the testing day 1 of the pass! Always great to hang in Twitch chat and see how the new card plays out. (Also 100% feel honored ta get shouted out for the thumb title in the vid description ^-^).

Thanx for the premium variant Alex , it really feels like you and brother Cozy have direct connection with the Snap Gods.
ask for more lets be greedy

weak? dude
surf + nova and dude goes into 3/12 and that to u is weak?
@@HyuchaKyrie And I can slap WWBN into any deck, no need to draft around him, run alongside another package within a shell with 2-3 other win conditions, see better results and not have him be a sitting duck to Shang-Chi and Shadow King as he moves around.

@@Blackjax137 Wolfie won't last much the cars ain't good the card is broken so he will be fixed

@@Blackjax137 3-0 when moving +1 power. Bam card dead
Elsa got the same treatment
Recommendation to slide in then slip on the cool new shades for the intro 😎
I thought Daken would be good, but it's just so hard to set everything up in order to double his power in my experience. You can't just have Daken, you need discard or destroy cards and you have to draw them, have the energy for them, etc. But Shaw seems really nice with essentially double buffs! Luckily I haven't gone against Shang-Chi which could easily destroy him at high power but so far he's been so good!
The slide in the intro gets me every time.
I absolutely hope that he isn't as dominating as the last three season pass cards were (Elsa, Loki and Ms Marvel), even if he is the highlight of the month.
It's of course important that pass buyers get something for their money but another broken card would just suck for f2p players
Yeah he's nowhere near broken so we are all good.
Rip chaves. Hope she still finds her place in the meta
Bounce deck. Or Seb Shaw
I was thinking: Why not change quicksilver to “ongoing: you a always play first”? Will make the card useful and it’s make sense with he.
It's weird that they wouldn't offer a surfer bundle in the shop with this card's release. I don't have surfer yet and I don't feel like Shaw really fits in any other archetype.

Really curious what level 55 of the season pass contains... that is a new addition as well.

liked for the title, nice work Alex.
He can win on Muir island all by himself tbh. Faced one and he was 20 power after the end including other buffs
Loving Shaw! Hulk Buster works really well, new America Chavez is pretty good, and Nova+Killmonger with Daken as a backup!
Auto deck making the exact deck that I was designing in my head🧐
awesome content alex! Keep it up!
Appreciate it!
So so glad for the addition of a Premium Mystery variant in the season pass!
RIP America Chavez
Kudos on the variant upgrade to the pass rewards!!
did they fixed the shop? cant changed my currency
I remember you saying it about the Premium variant.
Where was the South Park “and it’s gone” for human torch
So Shaw is gonna be nerfed later on? Got it.
Is say so far if he is a card that only works with silver surfer then he is pretty limited. He seems a good add-on to silver surfer. The question is what else can he fit with.
Anyone know why my Chavez is still the 6-9 version not mad about it but still
The auto deck with Shaw is great with a little tweaking. Shaw by night with surfer makes huge numbers
Premimum variant added to season pass... Alex confirmed working for Second Dinner
LMAO
Did you see the wolverine meme someone posted on Reddit with you holding a picture of Chavez?
ahahaha no! I haven't seen it, where do I find it!?
I absolutely love this card but it depends on your style of play, personally it’s a must
Liked the video for the fact that you called White Queen, Emma Frost.
3 mana 10+power card - we really need your honest review
My heart hurts for what happen to that Human Torch💔
I'm not really interested in buying a new card that's just going to be gutted into trash in a month.
?
@@Grimmfairytailhe's not wrong look at elsa bloodstone dude. Great season pass card only to be fucking changed 3 times within a month. But yeah let's keep werewolf by night as a CONSTANT 3-13 3-18 worth of fucking power
Is it just me who has a golden cachen in one of the past lvl 50 season pass caches?
Thanks for the video and the decks.
My pleasure!
Shaw! my favorite comic book character.
Love the look of the card from the Xmen Animated Series! Still bummed they havent roped in Dark Phoenix after the Hellfire Clubs dabblings with her in the series! They should have Windguard and Leland for the season. Sorry im a big fan of the series!
Is it me or does Forge not work with Sebastian Shaw, he doesn’t get the extra buff
I've noticed that the location will show the correct power, but the card doesn't sometimes
silver surfer feels nasty good right now. Sebastion is a fine replacement for brood, add ironheart!
gladiator is fun. embrace the chaos!
Alex putting on a brave face after the brutal murder of his favourite, America Chavez.
that second game was BRUTAL LOL
Idk if this the same for others,but my America Chavez is still the old one lol! It hasn’t been nerfed so to speak..
That means you haven't updated the game yet. You don't have any of the changes and if you play you'll only play against bots or others that haven't updated yet but eventually the game will force you to update to play
Bro my forge into shaw only gets shaw the forge +2 but his ability doesn't kick in. Am I the only one? The fuck is this
I really hate that i draw okoye with my shaw all the time or i draw okoye and shaw is at the bottom of my deck.
i love him so much, its so much fun to play
my chavis is still “start a bottom of my deck” hasn’t changed yet 🧐
It will don't worry. Have fun with chaves while you can before you literally never use her again because she's fucking useless now
That Phoenix though... RIP
You don't have Howard? I did not see that coming.
Sorry...I'll see me self out
Elsa replacement?
I think we are too hard on Gladiator as a card. And I'm disappointed I didn't get him in his week. *shrug*
Anyone landed Shaw on Muir Island yet?
All mystery should b prem in pass and rework PUNISHER again
Lol you just forgot American Chavez got nerfed and expected her on turn 6.

Gets nerved for sure 😅 but atm rly fun to play.
Shaw is super hot. We are talking walking into Sun hot. He is min always 12 power end of game.
Screw second dinner for nerfing, modok, dracula, Apocalypse, mobius because of Chaves nerf. Else bloodstone nerfed and daken. Disgusting. Done with this game.
Shaw or nah?
Shaw the best season pass card ever.
Stop the cap
@@seth5847 Without being busted. 💯
11:23 you were so sincere with your "that actually hurt to watch". Then you ruined it with the game show "failure" fanfare haha
Yet another card I'll pay for that SD will completely ruin with a nerf in 2 weeks which essentially flushes my money down the drain.
Sebastian is a Shaw thing
It's time to get Howard the duck 🦆🦆
Shaw or naw? 🤣 revolutionary title
HAHA. Now you probably embarrassed for not having the Duck.

For instance I don't own two of the cards you are showing. I paid for seasons since it started. Just think about that when you show off decks. Great job reporting.
hey, if Loki can make it...anyone can 😂
Just like every season pass card, comes out strong to get the bucks, then nerfed to death. Look at what they just did to Bloodstone! Save your money.
I think its safe to say the autofill isnt..very good lol.
I put in Patriot, to see what kind of patriot deck it made. Not only was it a bad deck, it didnt add a single card that has no text LOL.
Also it was obsessed with putting Apocalypse into a destroy deck.
When alex's description doesn't match his video
fixed lmao
So he's good? Nerf next month incoming :)))
They will nerf Sebastian , might as well not buy it and just get out of a casch
kinda shame when cards come in this strong, just means they are gna get battered down the line, rip elsa
Bro he is ridiculous
Just know this card will 100% be nerfed. Maybe 1 month, maybe 2 bits it’s way too strong for 3 cost.
Shadow King ruins your day.
My man!
Are some of your reviews not honest?
meh there other decks put out more power dont waste your money
Why does anyone listen to a guy that doesnt even have the GOATed Howard the Duck.
Skillmonger? There is no skill to play that BROKEN card!
Should I trust the guy that makes the worst predictions and changes his mind a month later? 🤔
NOPE
