Hello, big venom fan here. The reason they say we are venom instead of I am venom is because they are two separate personalities joined together, rather than just Eddie controlling the symbiote, or the symbiote controlling Eddie. They are constantly speaking together and have to agree on the decisions they make while they are together. So even though they appear as one person, they address themselves as we to convey that fact, that they together are venom.
Also significant because what pronoun a symbiote/host pairing uses shows how in sync the pair are (hence "I am Carnage" vs "We are Venom") and (correct me if I'm wrong) the line comes from one of Venom's first villain monologs where he refers to himself as Peter Parker's venom in the comic where they first fought
As someone who used to write character profiles for Marvel's Official Handbooks which involved reading all of a given character's appearances and then summarising their entire history into just a few pages (or sometimes 1 page or less!), I know first hand the amount of time and effort that's involved in researching a character for an informational piece!
An Alpha Flight season is a must have! Guardian as the season pass card! Northstar, Aurora, Puck, and Shaman as the other new cards for the month! And then a Snowbird variant for Snowguard and a "classic" Sasquatch variant for Sasquatch! It's a season that writes itself!
100% agree, Alex's way of saying things like "We got some... Gameplay" or "whats notable is" on top of all the awesome card nicknames is such a unique type of comedy thats just right up my alley 😂
Mailbag | 2 ways to improve spotlight caches are: Allow players to pin spotlight weeks.(This makes obtaining new cards less stressful) Replace the random series 4/5 card with predetermined card. (This makes more series 4/5 cards available)
Fun fact: In the movies uncle Ben (Aunt May for Tom's Spider-Man) is always the one to say "With great power comes great responsibility" but actually uncle Ben never told that to Peter ever. Peter himself said that line in the comics talking to himself when he first became Spider-Man.
@Skyhigh91100 no not really if you think about it there's literally no reason for uncle Ben to say that to Peter in his dying breath. Uncle Ben has no idea that Peter is spider-man or even that he has powers so that's the equivalent of Bruce's parents saying "another day another dollar" it doesn't make sense. I get that it's teaching spider-man that he has to use his powers for good but again he literally doesn't know what's going on with Peter so him saying that is pointless as to Peter telling himself that now that he has powers and he could easily kill someone.
For move, Heimdall needs a reinvention because its too predictable for a top end card. It should either be a 5 cost. Or change the text, cards move away from this location. Drop it left, cards move right, drop it left move right, drop it mid split the difference.
Mailbox: Marvel Snap should add the feature to mail you the physical card (no stats because you know balance/nerf reasons) of what you buy. Buying a 30 dollar digital Sora card Vs. 40 dollar and includes physical would also increase sales. Price of course I hope wouldn't be crazy but just an example. Heck maybe even add an autograph tier.
Question for the mailbag: What do you think of buffing High Evo by expanding the number of No Ability cards he evolves? Broodlings, squirrel's, Sinister clones, and maybe even Mysterio's illusions? Or the Monster Island monster?
I like Squirrels as a flavour win after Guardians 3. I think I'd be against the Mysterio clones just because it doesn't really make sense, and Mysterio is already such a great card it doesn't need more love.
Mailbag: Another thing you say a lot that you didnt mention is you saying, "noo the humantity!! ". I find that line hilarious, and i use this in snap and IRL.
Ive waited a week for your review, collector tokens at the ready. It was nice to hear Cozy admit he was off the mark but I do think all his points were bang on. People tech for the newest card and move is the most difficult archetype. There's also Scream coming out which will make move irrelevant again. I think I will save my collector tokens for something else.
Yeah I think this is the weakest we'll ever see Madame Web. People are doing really strong stuff with her in at least 3 archetypes already with everyone ready to counter her, and people new to move lowering her stats. She didn't break the meta/game, but she's a fantastic card.
Alex, you almost had it. Topher Grace - who played Eric Forman on That 70s Show - played Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3 (3007). He was Venom opposite Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man.
I didn't use the living tribunal build, just my own home brew. Made it from 75 on ladder to infinite in three days. Also a Thor beta ray lockjaw deck that was.surpisingly successful.
Alex its not just a thought. Copycat is a huge nerf. Anytime their deck is mixed you will not know if they got that card. (read the last sentence is Alex's ending voice.)
My favorite Madame Web list so far has the typical move scalers/activators, but then I added some spice with a Ravonna Renslayer package including Iron Man, Mystique, and Sage. Shit can get bonkers when you copy Madame Web with Mystique, or move a bunch of cards around and play Iron man and Mystique on turn 6, or move your move cards into one lane and drop Iron Man and Sage into the other lane for a big power bomb.
Mailbag: do you think that they will ever bring back old America Chavez? I just don’t see her staying as the one cost she is right now, especially with Araña coming out who is just so much better.
Rouge has been coming in clutch for me against Madame Web and Wong plays. That Mystique after Wong then White Tiger play can be brutal... but shutting it down feels so good😈
I think Madame Web still has a lot potential (outside of move as it's doing what War Machine does), but the OTA (what is OTA anyway?) to Agatha and War Machine has been huge. How can we get them to make QoL improvements? Outside of more deck space and a filing system, I really want 2 simple features: 1) Wrap-a-round deck selection. 2) Locking custom decks from "Equip to all".
I was with Alex that the best card of the month would be Silver Sable. My initial season ranking was: 1.Silver Sable 2.Araña 3.Scarlet Spider 4.Madame Web 5.Symbiote Spiderman. I never saw Madame Web as a 5 star card. But shes good and more fun than I expected. Decks that aren't totally move oriented but carry a small move package have been very competitive to me. I also like it in Spectrum decks. Good card overall and good for a collection. Its weird but i like that none of these cards landed cracked. All three are solid 4 stars for me. Sable staple in bounce and a premium 1 drop. Madame and Symbiote unique and fun.
Move is more on the "big-brain deck" side of Snap. It requires a lotta forethought, planning, and experience. It's definitely not for people who want simple and straightforward ABC lines. It's also one of the most difficult decks to predict. For example: your opponent trying to guess whether you will play Heimdall on turn 6 or not can completely mess with their head. Madame Web definitely took Move to another level, and I can't wait to see what Arana brings also.
Glad you said we should have an alpha flight season! I totally was saying this the other day. Honestly there’s a ton of characters they use like starjammers or x-caliber.
Folks are having a hard time rating Madame Web because for some reason they keep insisting in looking at this card as if it's primarily a move card, yes, it's indispensable in move, but I'd say Madame Web is primarily about optimizing location control, you can move cards around throughout the game to your benefit like they're chess pieces, you can adapt your strategy by simply changing the location of certain cards, you can keep your opponent guessing, etc.
🤣🤣🤣 Cozy- The old ones had the best Mary Jane. Alex- the one from that 70’s show? 😅 Cozy- 😮🫨😂😂😭 no, she was never in that. Alex- Haha am I supposed to know all this stuff or is it okay i don’t know what’s going on. 😊😅 Cozy- No No no no, your good except your not. LOOOOOL 33:00 that part killed me.
I think a 5 star card should be a card that you want to include in almost every deck it might not fit in every deck, but you can make an argument for it to be included. I hit infinite just earlier today, and I barely even saw Madame Web, and she just came out. The fact that she only fits in the move makes her niche and stuck to the move archetype. I think she probably needs to be 2/3 so she can fit in other control strategies better. I also feel like people are sleeping on silver sable she's cracked.
Mailbag. Seeing that the new cosmetic borders cost 1k tokens and a duplicate spotlight cache card gives you 1k tokens. Not to mention 5k ultimate variants that are no different from regular variants, is it time for SD to revamp tokens and that whole part of the system. Spotlights are meant to be the primary way to acquire cards but it feels like tokens are kinda just pushed to the side. You can’t justify spending 1k on a cosmetic when that same currency can get you a card like Ravonna for 3k tokens. Would love to hear your guys thoughts
My main problem with madame web is that I rarely draw her on curve. Most times I don't draw her at all or get her on turn 6. It just seems to happen more with her than with other cards.
waited till the end of week then decided to go for Madame Web. I just felt i would regret passing when she is an irreplacable card in a future dominant move deck. Spent one key, got her. rare marvel snap rng dub.
Venom references he and his host (brock mostly) as "we" because he and his host are two beings with a symbiotic relationship.... Now Carnage says "I" because he and Cassidy are bonded as one, they have the closet bond than any other symbiote and host, because Carnage (or the symbiote) merged with Cassidy completely through his blood.. so there is no separating he and the symbiote they are one......
I been a move player almost since I started playing the game. The problem with move is and always has been locations. Too many of them fuck you over. Not to mention White Widow is immensely popular. All it can take sometimes is one or 2 cards on your side that you don't want and your gameplan starts to fall apart. Nocturne doesn't fix the location problem necessarily, cause there are so many bad locations that even if she switches the location, the odds are very high the next location is ass too. And she doesn't help push the shell along. You want to be moving cards and her 3 cost takes away from you moving cards. With that said, Madame Web herself isn't bad, not nearly as bad as the stats say at least. I know Alex loves his stats. But we also always got to keep in mind every new card is auto hard countered by the community that first week. People make it their mission to hard counter the new card. And because everyone is testing the card it's going to have bad stats cause it hasn't been figured out yet. Ajax was the exact same way his launch week. His stats were ass and people thought he was terrible. I bet more than a few people wish they didn't pass on him given how strong some of his decks are currently.
MAILBAG: Card design idea..... I had the idea looking at Psylocke and thinking how her in-game ability doesn't match her character at all, but it doesn't have to be her. "On Reveal: Afflict all enemy cards here with -1 power until the end of next turn." A temporary affliction card--priority stealer, it's should be a cheaper card with lower power--and also something that helps get out cards like a HE Abom... but isn't a permanent debuff to affect endgame power or things like Ajax.
Been waiting all week for this video because I couldn't decide if she was worth the keys. I don't like move, but she's being used in a lot more than just that.
Mailbag: What is your favourite variant artwork in the game? My top 3: #1 Luchador Red Guardian, #2 Baby Morbius, #3 Sergio Devila Kraven. Just gorgeous (and very different) pieces of art.
Hey love the videos! Watch every week! So glad I found it and have been able to binge! Not sure if I can comment a question for the mailbag here or not but ill do both! Do you think Daredevil needs a little love in the next OTA? I feel for his ability he is severely underused and doesn't work in the current meta. I propose maybe add "you can move this card to any location your opp moves a card next turn and maybe give him a +2 if he moves? or even a +2 if he doesn't. Think it would add a nice little canon element with Kingpin functions as well as the growing move meta? Love to hear your guys thoughts!
saying that the discard resurgence is due ENTIRELY to the alliance missions is pretty silly. Apoc got buffed back up, Moon Knight got a targeted effect which gave the deck some much needed disruption/tech.
Not one for the mailbag, but I’d enjoy a season pass card tier list. Would be a good one to do every 6/12 months as they (inevitably) get buffed or nerfed.
You should do Archtype decks. Not just the MVP but the most played and/or highest victory/cube. Maybe even a "lesser" version that those of us who are still grinding through would play. p.s. "remiss". No T.
Mailbag: Since starting to play this awesome game a little over a year ago I was curious to know your thoughts on a variant trading system for players. I have a million variants that I don't use but my friend finds some of them awesome (shout-out to that one friend for being the only person on the planet who loves collecting pixel variants) to be able to trade with friends is something that I would love to see in the game.
MAILBAG: High Evo rule change: He shouldn't have to only affect No Ability cards. He should just change the text of any card they decide would be interesting to have as an Evo card. Aero, for example. She sees little play (as of now), but is still a unique effect they want in the game... Aero stays Aero, but in an Evo deck, Aero could be different. Would give basically infinite range of what they could do.... and allow other No Ability cards to be touched up, not trapped in Evo forever..... like my boy Cyclops.
Move is only going to be S-tier when they take the walls off the board down and you can move cards on the far left to go to far right and the far right goes to the left ( think of pacman )
Mailbag Question: With the changes to 3 costs (Luke cage, Elsa) awhile back I noticed that cards like these get board wide effects. And majority of 2 costs have single lane effects. Would it be time to bring Cosmo down to a 2/3?
Sorry about the personal questions. But Alex, what do you teach at school again? And do you enjoy it? And Cozy, what did you before full time content creating?
Really cooling on the game,as I'm in a horrible slump. I think another problem is that I get new cards and....meh. I like to get the season pass, because I want the game to make money, but lately i just f'ing LOSE. Not cubes, but man it sucks to retreat while some kid emotes to piss me off. maybe I should just mute everybody.... I also hate when my cards are attacked. I hate clog and toxic. i hate loki and all locations that make me play cards other than those i put in my deck. i want to play my deck, NOT someone elses.
The reason they emote you is not that they are kids, they are trying to make you angry so you would do mistakes like wrong plays, early concede and etc. don't give up!
As someone who loves Move and has been waiting forever for Move to be viable, I say respectfully fuck off to the idea of nerfing Dagger, Human Torch, and Vulture so that Madame Web can get a buff in non Move decks 😂 In fact-and I swear I’m not being facetious here-but I don’t think we actually have enough (both in terms of quantity and flavor) cards that take advantage of the Move mechanic. I’m still waiting for a Nova style card that buffs all other cards when moved or maybe an Ongoing card similar to Ajax that scales up every time a card is moved. Once we get some more cards like that I’d be open to nerfing the three scalable cards Move currently has.
Mailbag: Imagine Second Dinner made you another for-sure MVP for your favorite archetype. In order to get this new card in the game, you have to delete one of your favorite cards from the entire game. Just like Thanos or Hawkeye losing someone they love for the Soul Stone, what card would you delete from the game?
You know you can move a Void with Madame Web? Or a curved out US Agent? Just some thoughts I’d put out there. The obvious thing isn’t always the best win rate choice
Try not to let the keyboard warriors get to you Alex. I tune in for your educated opinion and don't expect you to be right every time. Snap is a complicated game that is constantly changing. I appreciate you sticking to your guns and being a man of integrity 👍
I'd love to play her in a Black Panther + Zola deck with Shuri. Even tho she a key piece in move deck, she does need a more consistent ways to support her in move, maybe Arana could fix that. Unfortunately for me, I neither have Black Panther nor the key to open for Arana next week, LoL
Honestly I don't know if it's because second dinner hates move or scared of move being popular just because they always seem to release move cards with shit stats then buffs them a week or two later. It's been like that for a year now
Or just give him the stature rules. If anything moves in the game -- or make it opponent based, or just your side... however is best --- he keeps the 1 cost til the end, just like Stature. This way he can go in any deck just as long as you have like... Jeff. or Nocturne. or Madame Web.
All Move player “Look at my 200 point Torch/Vulture/Dagger.” Say Hello to Killmonger shadow king and Shang. All move is cope. Small move packages with other things is just better
MAILBAG: Do either of you have a good singing voice? You both have nice voices when I listen to the podcast so I was wondering how well you might be able to sing
Wow, I havent played Snap in like idk, a year or something and I came across this video. Is Snap still going strong? And is it still fun? I am curious, because I stopped around the time of Galactus and Thanos having been added. Which is probably too long ago for you to remember when exactly that was. But is the game so much different that if I join again I would be completely lost? Or can old cards like Zabu still hang?
Sorry you receive flack, Alex. You both do a great job at evaluating new cards. I wouldn't worry if your off. Who cares what people think, I'm sure they're not 100% either. Also, Miles would be good if it stayed 1 cost like Stature, and not just 1 cost for 1 round.
Mailbag question: What would you guys consider the most perfectly designed cards? Meaning you don’t see them getting nerfed or buffed, while staying relevant
Mailbag: I’m not sure if it’s been asked or not but do you guys have a favourite comic book storyline you’d recommend? For me it would be the original superior Spider-Man and beta ray bill godhunter
It's very funny that your ongoing MVP was mystique, which is technically an on reveal card, and your on reveal MVP was Wong which is an ongoing card
So true LOL
Got em
It is a reveal card that is also every ongoing card in your deck..
"Tobey Maguire is a freaking national treasure you piece of shit" had me dying lmao
Did Cozy just demonetize Alex's vid with that line?
That Cozy aggression was unexpected. 😂
Casual aggression, DAMN!
If Alex has a catchphrase, it's definitely "cope," "coping," or "copium." Either that or "Loki should be given to new players at the start."
It's definitely "it's a great time to be a Marvel Snap fan" although he sadly hasn't said it in a good long while
“There’s no question “
Hello, big venom fan here. The reason they say we are venom instead of I am venom is because they are two separate personalities joined together, rather than just Eddie controlling the symbiote, or the symbiote controlling Eddie.

I mean they literally say it, but thanks for clarifying

Alex's gentle voice is so nice to listen to,and Cozy's energy is contagious. Such a fun podcast!
Alex! Please never stop saying We've got some _____ gameplay"! It's my favorite line from every video, it always cracks me up!
100% agree, Alex's way of saying things like "We got some... Gameplay" or "whats notable is" on top of all the awesome card nicknames is such a unique type of comedy thats just right up my alley 😂
He also needs to have Hydration Robert in every single deck for the rest of time.

Broodlings, squirrel's, Sinister clones, and maybe even Mysterio's illusions?
Or the Monster Island monster?
I like Squirrels as a flavour win after Guardians 3. I think I'd be against the Mysterio clones just because it doesn't really make sense, and Mysterio is already such a great card it doesn't need more love.
I will, forever, and always love. HYDRATION ROBERT!
Mailbag: Another thing you say a lot that you didnt mention is you saying, "noo the humantity!! ". I find that line hilarious, and i use this in snap and IRL.

Yeah I think this is the weakest we'll ever see Madame Web. People are doing really strong stuff with her in at least 3 archetypes already with everyone ready to counter her, and people new to move lowering her stats.
She didn't break the meta/game, but she's a fantastic card.
Alex, keep saying the gameplay lines!! lol I love it.
Alex, you almost had it. Topher Grace - who played Eric Forman on That 70s Show - played Eddie Brock in Spider-Man 3 (3007). He was Venom opposite Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man.
If you call Abomination Abom, Cozy, then it's going to be super-awkward if A-Bomb ever gets added to Snap! :)
I personally enjoy the “we got some _____ gameplay” catch phrase.
Your're not using Madame Web correctily. I have been using a Regis move deck that includes Living Tribunal, and its cracked.
I didn't use the living tribunal build, just my own home brew. Made it from 75 on ladder to infinite in three days. Also a Thor beta ray lockjaw deck that was.surpisingly successful.
Fun fact: A bomb is another hulk character who is Rick Jones alter ego and can become invisible

back in december when i wasn't series 3 complete, wong and doctor doom were the ones I waited forever to get from the free card of the season
To @Alexander Coccia with Symbiote it means life that is dependent on each other so we is accurate WE ARE VENOM

A temporary affliction card--priority stealer, it's should be a cheaper card with lower power--and also something that helps get out cards like a HE Abom... but isn't a permanent debuff to affect endgame power or things like Ajax.
Gotta give it to Alex. Whilst everyone has orgasming over madam web, Alex called it out and it turns out he was right. You sir, earned my respect 😅
Been waiting all week for this video because I couldn't decide if she was worth the keys. I don't like move, but she's being used in a lot more than just that.
She's mid at best.
She's the first card you'll want to cut in any deck you might add her. Don't do it if you are not a move fan
Yeah I don't like Move so I passed. She has been annoying when I've faced move decks. haven't seen a great use otherwise (yet).
Mailbag: What is your favourite variant artwork in the game? My top 3: #1 Luchador Red Guardian, #2 Baby Morbius, #3 Sergio Devila Kraven. Just gorgeous (and very different) pieces of art.
Hey love the videos! Watch every week! So glad I found it and have been able to binge! Not sure if I can comment a question for the mailbag here or not but ill do both!
Do you think Daredevil needs a little love in the next OTA? I feel for his ability he is severely underused and doesn't work in the current meta. I propose maybe add "you can move this card to any location your opp moves a card next turn and maybe give him a +2 if he moves? or even a +2 if he doesn't. Think it would add a nice little canon element with Kingpin functions as well as the growing move meta? Love to hear your guys thoughts!
I think if they did anything to Daredevil. It be, give him Activate & maybe +1 Power.
saying that the discard resurgence is due ENTIRELY to the alliance missions is pretty silly. Apoc got buffed back up, Moon Knight got a targeted effect which gave the deck some much needed disruption/tech.
lol moon knight and apoc been buffed for a minute tho
Not one for the mailbag, but I’d enjoy a season pass card tier list. Would be a good one to do every 6/12 months as they (inevitably) get buffed or nerfed.
skillmonger, skill obsidian, cope summers, triple m, a-poc and abomb, wonggers are the ones I remember rn 😆
Mailbag : What's your top 3 most proud deck name and your top 3 most "Eh..Could be better" deck name
You should do Archtype decks. Not just the MVP but the most played and/or highest victory/cube. Maybe even a "lesser" version that those of us who are still grinding through would play.
p.s. "remiss". No T.
Mailbag: Since starting to play this awesome game a little over a year ago I was curious to know your thoughts on a variant trading system for players. I have a million variants that I don't use but my friend finds some of them awesome (shout-out to that one friend for being the only person on the planet who loves collecting pixel variants) to be able to trade with friends is something that I would love to see in the game.
MAILBAG: High Evo rule change: He shouldn't have to only affect No Ability cards. He should just change the text of any card they decide would be interesting to have as an Evo card. Aero, for example. She sees little play (as of now), but is still a unique effect they want in the game... Aero stays Aero, but in an Evo deck, Aero could be different. Would give basically infinite range of what they could do.... and allow other No Ability cards to be touched up, not trapped in Evo forever..... like my boy Cyclops.
I agree with Alex. Madame Web should be 2-3 and take a little Power off the triple threat move cards.
Mailbag: Cozy, I’d love to know where you learned to edit all of your videos, and how long it takes you to edit your vids.
Move is only going to be S-tier when they take the walls off the board down and you can move cards on the far left to go to far right and the far right goes to the left ( think of pacman )
Mailbag Question:
With the changes to 3 costs (Luke cage, Elsa) awhile back I noticed that cards like these get board wide effects. And majority of 2 costs have single lane effects. Would it be time to bring Cosmo down to a 2/3?
Sorry about the personal questions. But Alex, what do you teach at school again? And do you enjoy it?
And Cozy, what did you before full time content creating?
Really cooling on the game,as I'm in a horrible slump.
I think another problem is that I get new cards and....meh.
I like to get the season pass, because I want the game to make money, but lately i just f'ing LOSE.
Not cubes, but man it sucks to retreat while some kid emotes to piss me off.
maybe I should just mute everybody....
I also hate when my cards are attacked. I hate clog and toxic. i hate loki and all locations that make me play cards other than those i put in my deck.
i want to play my deck, NOT someone elses.
The reason they emote you is not that they are kids, they are trying to make you angry so you would do mistakes like wrong plays, early concede and etc. don't give up!
Hey Alex and Cozy! What would you think of changing Hit Monkey to an Activate card that reads Activate: +2 Power for each card you played this turn.
As someone who loves Move and has been waiting forever for Move to be viable, I say respectfully fuck off to the idea of nerfing Dagger, Human Torch, and Vulture so that Madame Web can get a buff in non Move decks 😂
In fact-and I swear I’m not being facetious here-but I don’t think we actually have enough (both in terms of quantity and flavor) cards that take advantage of the Move mechanic.
I’m still waiting for a Nova style card that buffs all other cards when moved or maybe an Ongoing card similar to Ajax that scales up every time a card is moved.
Once we get some more cards like that I’d be open to nerfing the three scalable cards Move currently has.
Mailbag: Imagine Second Dinner made you another for-sure MVP for your favorite archetype. In order to get this new card in the game, you have to delete one of your favorite cards from the entire game. Just like Thanos or Hawkeye losing someone they love for the Soul Stone, what card would you delete from the game?
You know you can move a Void with Madame Web? Or a curved out US Agent? Just some thoughts I’d put out there. The obvious thing isn’t always the best win rate choice
I expect Madame Web to become a 2cost-3power,but she may be much better with Aranya
Try not to let the keyboard warriors get to you Alex. I tune in for your educated opinion and don't expect you to be right every time. Snap is a complicated game that is constantly changing. I appreciate you sticking to your guns and being a man of integrity 👍
Move needs another card that gains something when moving, not just more movers !!
Thanks for the video, and I'm sorry that you were catching flak from some fans about your opinions.
Thanks Alex
I'd love to play her in a Black Panther + Zola deck with Shuri. Even tho she a key piece in move deck, she does need a more consistent ways to support her in move, maybe Arana could fix that. Unfortunately for me, I neither have Black Panther nor the key to open for Arana next week, LoL
Best on reveal card: wong 😂
Best ongoing: Mystique 😂
Honestly I don't know if it's because second dinner hates move or scared of move being popular just because they always seem to release move cards with shit stats then buffs them a week or two later. It's been like that for a year now
Tobey Maguire lives in my heart
Lucky have get madame web from spotlight, and it seems useful to put it on my ongoing deck
Mail bag: Should all album cards be brought directly from the album freeing up space?
Stature turns into a 1 cost whenever your opponent discards. Miles is only last turn. Make him a 0 Cost instead of 1.
Or just give him the stature rules. If anything moves in the game -- or make it opponent based, or just your side... however is best --- he keeps the 1 cost til the end, just like Stature. This way he can go in any deck just as long as you have like... Jeff. or Nocturne. or Madame Web.
Think Alex broke Cozy’s brain 32:00
All Move player “Look at my 200 point Torch/Vulture/Dagger.” Say Hello to Killmonger shadow king and Shang. All move is cope. Small move packages with other things is just better
MAILBAG: Do either of you have a good singing voice? You both have nice voices when I listen to the podcast so I was wondering how well you might be able to sing
“Not at all. They have red hair.” LMAO
Wow, I havent played Snap in like idk, a year or something and I came across this video. Is Snap still going strong? And is it still fun? I am curious, because I stopped around the time of Galactus and Thanos having been added.
Which is probably too long ago for you to remember when exactly that was. But is the game so much different that if I join again I would be completely lost? Or can old cards like Zabu still hang?
Sorry you receive flack, Alex. You both do a great job at evaluating new cards. I wouldn't worry if your off. Who cares what people think, I'm sure they're not 100% either.
Also, Miles would be good if it stayed 1 cost like Stature, and not just 1 cost for 1 round.
Mailbag question: What would you guys consider the most perfectly designed cards? Meaning you don’t see them getting nerfed or buffed, while staying relevant
Clicking the card and hitting the big Activate button is the ONLY way I use Activate. Too inconsistent long holding.
Mailbag: I’m not sure if it’s been asked or not but do you guys have a favourite comic book storyline you’d recommend?
For me it would be the original superior Spider-Man and beta ray bill godhunter
Wasted 2 keys trying to get her! Saving my tokens as well
Cozy might not have a saying he does a lot, but I will tell you what he always does = the finger to the upper lip when thinking intensely
Right on time!
How did you guys get into Marvel as a whole, and has the game increased your enjoyment of it?
Mail bag: do you or cozy play snapple? Its a mix of worlde and guessing the marvel snap card for the day.
Mailbag question: If you could be a superhero, what would your power(s) be and what would your Marvel Snap's card mechanic look like?
Snap chat: we need a cosmo jam t shirt
Wait, you can hold the card to activate? I always clicked and pressed the button, didn't know that there was an other way
Mailbag: what’s your favourite plug and play card that you think of whenever you make a deck, regardless of archetype.
Alex don’t let what other people say about a card game pivot you and make you uncomfortable you know what you’re talking about
Does cozy not know there’s a search bar that helps find cards a lot faster 😂😂
