IMPORTANT ADDITION:
One thing about the venomized variant for copycat and the variants that release one day after the new cards in spotlights: It doesnt matter when you pick up copycat from spotlights within the week, you always get the variant in the shop with the next shop reset after you open the card :) Got Ajax yesterday and his venomized variant is in the shop for me today.
So my strategy is always to at least wait a few days before i get the card to see what kind of decks the card performs well in and if i like that playstyle.
I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to add the deck links. I understand why some people think you should remove them, and I'm probably selfish for wanting them to stay. But I DO watch every video through, like it, and I comment pretty often. I can't always copy down all the decks I want while listening, and going to an episode and finding the deck I wanted to try is super convenient. Thanks again for putting your listeners first, I appreciate it.
For spotlights, I have moved to only opening when I am guaranteed at least 2 chances of a new card being rolled. I have been f2p forever and it just makes the most sense even if FOMO chews me up lol
Long live f2p!!! ❤
Same here. Will only get one card guaranteed for 4 caches so I pass.
They should release one card less per season so that f2p at least has a chance to catch up a little bit with all the new stuff.
I’m all set to buy Copycat for tokens. This means I can skip all the rest of this month and next to save up for September, when not only do the new cards look more interesting, but there’s a couple of weeks where I can get more than one.
(I’m still debating; I MAY cache in the last week of this month to get Hope Summers and Proxima Midnight.)
This is how to do it! Getting 2 or more chances of a new card saves keys. The random card might even net you a new card if you are lucky. The new cards get rereleased after 6 months so save up.
@@trysilv7185they are trying that with this season. The last week is all repeats and Cassandra Nova is free to all if you play the event.
I definitely try to open when I can get multiple cards. I’m in new territory currently, because all of August has only cards I already have (except of course the new ones), so I’m actually buying Copycat with tokens so I can save up for September, when all the new cards look interesting, there’s more older cards I don’t have, and I’m going to try to open as much as possible.
It’s tough to wait! I normally go if I have at least 3 (preferably 4) caches and I want the new card. Alas, it usually takes at least three!
My approach is I try to plan ahead a bit on which cards I'm interested in (since my keys and tokens are quite limited as f2p), and then I wait until your Friday video to see how the card is shaping up with some actual play behind it.
ALSO: In my experience, the fancy new variant for whatever a week's new card is comes to your shop the day after you acquire the card, not specifically on Wednesday - e.g. if I open the new card on Friday, the variant will be in my shop Saturday. So you don't miss out on the variant by waiting to open!
Thanks for the video and decks! My strategy for spotlights is normally saving keys, but i use them when there's more than 1 card that i really need, i used to open the next day of release without success with 1 or 2 keys, but now i wait until friday with 3 or 4 keys saved. Have a nice day! 😊
I always wait until Friday, the recommendations from this channel makes the process much better to decide whether to open or not
Few weeks back I got US Agent and been running him with Mill. If I play him on Curve with Gladiator on turn 3, Gladiator destroys other popular cards like Mockingbird, Alioth and Red Hulk.... I've shared the combo with a few good players and servers, didn't really pick up, but now when people will be giving Mill another go with Copycat, I might finally see it in the wild
For spotlight I generally go off if I like the play design if the card and I wait til Friday to get the most info before getting
For spotlights I always rank all the cards of the season based on my style of play, unique abilities, and longevity. If I feel like the card will improve my main decks, I'll open the first day, but if not, I'll wait until Sunday. Copycat checks all the boxes for me, so I'm getting her day 1 for sure.
My strategy is to look at datamines and decide in advance which cards I will target. I look at my Tokens and Keys and decide how I will likely make the purchase. On the day it drops, I get it as soon as I can. For cards I don’t target, I wait until Friday to see how it is doing and if it is one of those cards that MAY be good a month from now, I might spend on it. For instance, Ajax was a card I was going to skip but decided he might be something that might be good next month so I spent a key and got it (I was lucky to spend only one key). I am only missing 5 cards.
awesome video to learn more about copy cat and where top players see this card working with! :D
I hope you enjoyed your vacation. Looking forward to Mondays content. Copycat looks like a great card
Like others, my strategy for the spotlights is looking ahead at datamines then I get them day of. It's why I came back to the game recently after leaving earlier this year. Saw the September move cards but only had one cache. Waiting until Friday is much smarter then pulling day one but so far the only full regret is Selene. Didn't help that I got her AGAIN immediately the next week out of the random slot against ridiculous odds. Nerfs with no refunds and dupe protection consisting of 1000 tokens are bigger problems than cards turning out poorly.
Hi, welcome back! for spotlights, i usually look at datamines and plan in advance wich cards i'll target, save keys, wait for last minute changes (on target cards or synergizing cards), if any then reassess cards values and make decision
I usually wait till Monday to decide if I open caches unless I know for sure the card is gonna be good. Your videos and some other creators videos help me make that decision.
I typically hold off on opening caches until Sunday, unless I'm quite confident the card is going to be strong. Your videos also help inform that decision-making process for me.
My strategy is to always stay collection-complete so I always open on the first day. If I don't mind the spotlight variants I'll use keys, but if I don't like the spotlight variants I'll usually go straight to using tokens to get the card directly.
I usually plan in advance what spotlights i will open. It depends on the new card and if it has 2 other cards that i need.
For exemple, I already have the 2 old cards so I wait until the end of the week to open or not. If I need one of the 2 old cards or/and the new one i open immediatly.
I don't open for series 4 cards, I just spend tokens on em. I'm almost series 4 complete ( not all cards but all the relevant ones) so I will save tokens for new cards from now on.
[Sorry if my english burns your eyes lol]
My general strategy for spotlights is to plan a few weeks in advance which to skip and which to potentially cache in. If I'm missing 1 or both of the other cards and they fit into a archetype I play then I'll likely cache. I usually cache the first day available instead of waiting since I like to immediately test out the new card(s)
I like to plan in advance which spotlight caches I will open. For example, now I think that August's spotlight caches don't look interesting (except for Marvel Boy, though it was expectedly nerfed). But September, on the contrary, looks fresh, the dawn of the movement decks will come. Sometimes plans change, as happened with Arishem (I wanted to take Ajax, but when I realized that Arishem was funny enough, and Ajax, in turn, looked too weak, I decided to break my plan). Also after the unsuccessful hasty opening of spotlight caches with Valentina, War Machine and some other cards, I decided it was better to open new cards later after collecting data.
when the cards come to the spotlights I will wait for either 2 cards I dint have like this one for copycat and cull so I can get potentially 2 new cards but other wise I wait till they come around or if there is a variant that I really want like the tribunal and legion from the sage week. so I will be using my keys to get copycat and maybe cull I'll have to see what comes first.
I have 12k tokens , CL 6K , should I buy her with tokens? I did regret passing on nocturne but im not sure if i should pull the trigger on copycat. Im at 0 keys saving for the next 6 weeks. What should I do??
I like Nocturne more than copycat but it'd hard to be sure this early.
My strategy with spotlights:
I plan ahead using Marvel Snapzone's Spotlight Cache Planner. Knowing which cards are coming determine what spotlights I might want to spend my keys on. I understand that the datamined spotlights may change, but I got to take that risk.
When a spotlight with a card that I want arrives, I always wait until monday to open, so that I can see what decks the new card goes into and it's approximated meta relevancy. If I like the archetype and the opinions that I see here and in a few other channels sounds good to me, then I open.
Also, only open if I have at least 4 keys.
Right now, I'm sitting at 13 keys, might open for Copycat and then wait because probably I will open in every week next month, depends on how lucky I get.
I always open when I feel that the card is great/almost broken and goes in decks that I enjoy playing (did that with Thena and Red Hulk), usually waiting till Friday if I'm not 100% convinced or don't have 10+ keys (got Namora, Nocturne, White Widow this way).
My spotlight strategy is : 1) Review datamines, watch content from folks like the great Snap Judgements team and determine my favorite targets for coming months. Do appropriate hoarding of keys to ensure I have 4 keys for the targets. (If not possible, debate internally over which favorite to remove). 2) From there, if I have enough to spare, will pull for any card that looks good and/or FUN, provided I will still have keys for the favorites identified in step 1. 3) If a card looks fun, but I'm not sure, usually wait until Friday to get a chance to see what it looks like in action. 4) when cards look equally compelling, I err on the side of caches where there is another card I don't have own featured. For purpose of planning, I always assume it will take max number of pulls to get my targeted card. then it feels good if RNG rolls in my favor, and I get to adjust my numbers and target more cards! Needless to say, I spend way too much time debating what to do!
My spotlight strategy varies. It's usually based around how many cards I need that week and then how good the spotlight card is. For example if the spotlight is an absolutely must have like Arishem, I'll get it, otherwise I usually try to wait for a week that I need at least 2 cards.
Typically for spotlight caches, I prioritize a minimum of 2 new cards. Especially works out if the new card that week, looks good. Which is also the reason I tend to wait until later in the week.
2 things for me with spotlights. First, I almost never open unless I have 4 keys or will have 4 keys by the end of the week. Second, when I open depends on the card - Arishem I opened day 1 because he looked cool and I didn't care about the strength. I also opened Proxima day one as discard is one of my favorite decks. Namora I waited on to see how she would fare. Since I was 6 cards from collection complete when the spotlight system started, we're only really within the last month or so getting to the point where cards I don't have are coming to the spotlights and, of those, I really haven't seen any must haves, so I don't know going forward what my multiple card strategy will be.
My strategy is to get all the cards I don’t own and as a newer player I need all of them this upcoming week so I’m planning on opening for them all. Copy cat being great is just a plus
Got tokens at the ready for copycat, but waiting for the weekend to decide. Gotta save keys for Marvel Boy, Blob, Loki and Pixie, which are all coming to caches right after eachother.
My spotlight approach is usually to skip unless there are two or more cards I don't have and want (including the new one). But occasionally a dope variant will tip the scales, too
About spotlight caches - I usually always wait. I am now at a point that aside from season pass, I don't spend $ anymore. If it's a card I really want, I'll go for it, but a lot of the time I already own one or two of the other cards. This week I'm going for it, because copycat seems cool, and I have been playing a bit more Thanos lately, and don't have cull obsidian, so there are 2 new cards and that variant of thanos wouldn't be bad to get either, since I have a few keys saved up.
I have multiple strategies depending on the existing cards and whether I'm missing them. But I do generally wait until Friday to see what is being thought about the new cards. But, the new cards are risky, they will buff them quickly like Hydro Bob and USAgent or nerf them like Red Hulk. As you say, SD'smgoal is for all new cards to be good. And they mostly are indeed good cards. So I generally focus on the existing cards unless the new card seems especially good such as Arishem or Thena.
My strategy is to open for cards you don’t have missing like 2 don’t open for vari cause they will always release something way better even tho noting better then a hippy lol but always try to get more for your key so if the spotlight has two cards go for it if not leave it if you don’t want those two cards also when you need tokens I open 4 but open 4 on one where you missing two cards cause some times you might pull 3 cards for your collection ‼️
Copycat is going to be cracked in Mill
I open on fridays mostly unless I need more then the new card of the week, if I want multiple things then I just open day 1 because I don't really need to know if the new card is good or bad. But I have most cards and variants so It's rare that I get good value from spotlights.
Venomized variants are my resources killer. so proud of my only album complete "chomp"
Welcome back! My strategy on spotlight caches is to wait for ones where I miss/need 2+ cards. In that case, I usually don't wait and open directly.
Next week for instance, Copycat is a card I want, and I miss Cull so I will open directly. If I get Copycat first w/o Cull, I will not open the rest I think, since Cull is replaceable. If not, I will open till I get her.
Otherwise, when only one card interests me, I wait thanks to you for Friday or even Monday to get to know if I will open, or buy it with tokens even. For instance recently, I bought Arishem with tokens.
I am F2P and have currently 15k tokens and 25 keys.
Oh my, she doesn’t reveal after all eh..? May be hard to wait until Friday; that’s like getting Red Hulk without the player seeing the trigger 🤯 (or so it feels).
Methinks getting copycat as soon as possible to fully surprise people may have its benefits 👌
If I’m really psyched for a card I will pull right away. Most weeks I wait to see what the take on the card is from the community or what types of decks the new card is going in. Then I make that decision. Occasionally if I’m missing 2 cards from the Spotlights I’ll toss a key just to see what hits.
My usual strategy is to target the spotlight cache with at least 2 good or 1 good and 1 decent card that I don’t have, and for that I m willing to spend 4 keys to have a shot at the random one as well to get a new card maybe. I usually never go for spotlight just to unlock ONLY the new card. I have saved up some tokens for those instances!
My strategy for opening spotlight caches is that if m missing 2 cards (eg.i didn't have ajax& brb I opened for both)
Back in the day i used to even open for variants like zabu and dh but from now on I'll only be opening if m missing 2 or more cards and i do wait till Friday to see if the card is good or not and welcome back 🎉😊🎉
My spotlight strategy is to look at future spotlights and wait. I need Blob and want to buy him with tokens but it's better to wait until he is in the spotlight even though he might not be relevant by the time that week comes around. He'll eventually be good again.
When I have all but the newest card, I have passed on some new cards (such as Ajax) so that when it comes back around it will be in a cache alongside a new card.
Usually my plan to open spotlights is opening immediatly. BUT I just open caches when I want 2 or more cards, or one variant in specific (like the last living tribunal variant). When I just want one card, I don't risk it
my general strategy is I wait either way and then see if I think the card is unique and fun. generally speaking the balance patches encourage me to just buy the stuff I like and pray for OTA in the worst case scenarios. Text is rarely outright swapped, so if the unique is irreplaceable it feels like a good bet to think they'll try to make it viable via otas. Hercules/black knight/sersi type cards are almost always insta buys, more generic stuff i'll wait until cool decks are being made for them and then crack under pressure by friday.
Some say Copycat is cracked but we ll see together 😅.
Personally, i realized that those variants they put in the spotlight caches are 6k tokens variants. So if you already have 2/3 of the cards in the weekly spotlight, it s almost always a skip. It s always better to save for the future
Definitely I like to hold at least 2 keys for when card that matches archetype/returning cards I missed on. New cards tend to hook me more and then I save tokens for shop rotation.
I plan ahead what spotlight caches I'm going to open, usually I prioritise core series 5 cards that I don't have over new cards
Hey everyone! Just commenting so the algo boosts the channel. Thanks glazer for all the amazing content!!! ❤
I open spotlight cashes when I am missing 2 or all 3 cards, for f2p I think thats the best option to get the most out of your resources, on top of that, we never know what gets buffed/nerfed, so I am fine getting Ajax & Beta Ray, however for Copycat I will go with my tokens as I have Thanos & Cull, it’s simple as that and it worked out very well for me so far
Thanks for the decks! As keys (and tokens) are like gold dust, I have to plan ahead to see which cards in a month I actually want and save for them. If it costs 4 keys to get them I'd still say that's ok as that's the card you wanted anyway.
I’m F2P, and I usually look at spotlight data mines to give an idea what cards I want to target. If it’s a target card week, I usually open right away. If its one I’m on the fence about I usually wait for Friday to see how it preforms before I open.
For spotlights, I look at the datamines at the beginning of the month and what the content creators have to say about the new cards to see where and when I definitely should have at least 4 keys, especially if there is a chance to get 2 cars that I don't own. Right now, I have 7-8 keys, and I become stressed when I have less than 3 and there's cards that look very cool. But usually I only take cards that have a very good chance of becoming meta. All the cards are series 5, but not all of them are worth 6000 tokens or a couple of keys. It's not bulletproof, because I missed a bunch of very cool cards that way (Corvus Glaive, Prozima Midnight, Nocturne, US Agent) and got War Machine, Pixie.
I almost always wait until Friday to see if the new card is worth getting unless it completely broken like Red Hulk that way I have plenty of time to complete the weekend missions
I usually know already if I will pull or not, days before the card releases, so I get it the first day or not at all. I base it on my current resources, my first impression of the card when it was first leaked and the creators verdict on it.
I tend to open on Fridays unless there are two cards I need/want. I do a lot of planning and research at the beginning of the month.
I'm so behind on cards I try to open if the two other cards are both used in common decks, and hope I either get the new card if it's good or luck out and just get the two I need. These next few weeks are stacked so choosing is going to be pretty hard.
I plan for spotlight caches way in advance tempered by the decks I play, how good/useful the card is (*not* if it is Meta), and if I have at least 3 keys because the 4th key (if necessary) is around the corner.
My spotlight strat is to only open when I have at least 4 keys. Crossing my fingers and hoping i still high roll lol. I use RezSnappers planning graphic to plan out ahead of time so I know I am guaranteed to get the cards I really want.
For this spotlight, I'll be opening right off. I don't have Cull and the Thanos variant is great, so this is a net win regardless of how it pans out. I'll only be stuck if I find myself in the situation that I was in last week when I opened the two cards I didn't have and then had the random card and the sweet Darkhawk variant I wanted. Ultimately didn't pull since I have some good ones and keys are hard to come by. But for most weeks I don't have 2 cards, it's a pull week for me without pause.
My strategy for spotlights is that if i dont have at least 2 of the cards in the cache and they're relavant cards, i will open immediately. But if im not sure about a card (usually the newly released card), then i will wait for the comments from top players from your videos. I should be opening for the copy cat week as i dont have cull and Copycat, but I'm interested in the September cards and the marvel boy week. So ill wait and see how good copy cat is and i might just use tokens for her.
The DeraJN's data statistics are actually from Willow, his editor and former content creator for SNAP.
I only open spotlight cashes for strong cards and for archetypes that i like to play . For example i font like discard so i didn't open for the discard cards even thought were good. That way i am totally free to play but i have almos all the cards i wanted and still have enough resources for new cards
I decide before the card releases and get it on day 1 if I want it. That vacation was too short!
My spotlight strategy is typically opening for the new cards as I'm close to collection complete (I was at one point).
Without the week off I've had to strategise further, which has had me plan when I spend 6K and skip (not very often) or recently I just full skipped to save keys on Bob.
Overall this has become tougher because previously I could get two skips weeks, one where there was no new card and the week with a series 4 as, shocker, saving 3K tokens is much easier than 6K and the 4th option in spotlights felt like they helped there.
I'm gutted this week as I probably should have passed on Ajax as well, as I'm not close enough to 6K to buy Copycat and I may at best have 2 keys for Tuesday :(
At least Cassandra week should help me for Young Avengers season.
I am a F2P player. My method for spotlights, is to try open 1 new spotlight on Day 1 (after watching review from few content creators) and maybe try 1 more spotlight, it's quite rare that I will use 4 spotlights. If it's a card that doesn't interest me, I will just skip it. I usually save my tokens for must get cards previously like Blink, Hope Summers and currently locked Sage in the shop
I usually wait for content creators comments on the new card. That plus if the additional cards are something I need for my decks.
I moved to only opening for a card when I can get multiple new cards UNLESS it’s a card that I’m very excited for either because it’s powerful (sage) or just looks fun (arishem) I opened those day 1. If not I’ll just wait and if it’s a bad week overall well then I just get to save more keys.
As a f2p, I plan ahead based on the spotlight schedule, only pull if at least two cards I don’t have, and wait until Friday based on content creator’s review.
Further, to be efficient with my limited resources, I’m completely agnostic to variants - don’t spend anything variants.
Btw - will do a final review of Ajax via collecting comments from all of the top players? I like that part of your review.
Most cards I wait to open to see what all creators are saying about the card. Generally I get some cards that just seem to be good like cannonball and mockingbird but mostly I get cards that I will have fun with. I got hercules and sersi because I knew I would have fun playing them. It mainly has to seem fun and in my playstyle or the best card in the game
If a spotlight has 2 cards that I don't have, I'm usually opening. I tend to plan way in advance, cause I'm always without keys, and I only like to open having the 4 keys. And I only wait till friday if I'm really not sure about the card. thanks as always
Much like everyone else - I only open if there is more than 1 card needed OR if you know it's gonna be a key piece, even then I would likely just use tokens. I would love to open for spotlights but it just never feels worth it (will forever be missing the Jeff Hipp) 😭 SO likely just tokens for CopyCat
i usually plan ahead on spotlights , like i already decide which week i open for july and august.
unless sth changed from SD.
I typically open spotlights immediately. I plan pretty far in advance with the help of data mines. Cards that I’m on the fence about, I end up skipping 90% of the time.
My strategy usually has more to do with getting maximum value out of the cards, meaning if I’m missing two or more of the cache cards I’m usually opening unless the new card is HORRIBLE lol
Now I always wait until the weekend missions, because I often did wrong choice on which card to pick (as a F2P player), so i wait for you and other content creator to judge the new cards. Once I used to open immediately, but i was missing many more cards...
I only open spotlights if I'm missing at least 2 cards. This has led me to miss out on some really good cards like White Widow, Red Guardian, Mockingbird, Nocturne...which I'm still missing. However, since I'm still able to hit infinite each season I guess it's not that big of a deal?
Always looking for 2 cards in the cache, even if the 2nd is only okay and if i wouldnt continue if i get my number 1 card first. Very hard to justify token purchase or keys for 1 card, but if a card is really appealing, I occasionally spend my saved keys/tokens. In practice, either im so sure i open immediately or im on the fence and pretty much always end up not opening... my regret at missing out usually takes a few weeks to kick in! I can't think of the last time I "wait and see" and ended up opening
Honestly my strategy is to watch videos like this one to see if a card is highly recommended. Then I will check if there's any missing cards in the rest of the spotlight. Have yet to go for a week where only the new card is what I need.
Thanks for all the hard work 🎉
i usually plan ahead on spotlights but sometimes i'll drop 4 keys if i really want a new card and don't get lucky.
My strategy is I buy the new card if it seems fun and/or competitive directly, I don't wait! And if I like the spotlight variants I open caches otherwise I spend token (for Copycat it will be token)
I have been collection complete for a while and I'm scared that if I miss a card and fall behind I will struggle to get back to complete. I always use collection tokens to buy a card once I hit 6000 tokens and when under I use keys.
After Phastos..I will ALWAYS be waiting until Fruday after every new card is released to see how it is used and if it is a meta-breaker or not.
I always open for 1 new card that i think will be interesting and fun to play otherwise if its like a bob card i skip it even if its a new card, i usually skip those kind of cards and save up keys
Did we get the Friday thoughts on Ajax this week?
As a mostly F2P player, my strategy is to use keys selectively for getting cards for archetypes I like, not every good card and never cosmetics. If I'm on the fence, i wait for your final reviews.
As a F2P player, I value each Spotlight Key as 3500 tokens, and I’ll only open spotlight caches when the expected value per key is higher than 3500 tokens.
For example: if I miss all 3 cards this Ajax’s week, the totally value of all spotlight caches is 6000(Ajax)+3000(DH)+6000(BRB)+1000(worst case random) = 16000 tokens, which means the expected value per key is 16000/4 = 4000, so I will open the spotlight caches.
If I got Ajax from my first pull, the remain value in the spotlight caches is 10000 tokens, means the expected value per key is down to 10000/3 = 3333 tokens, which is lower than 3500 tokens so I will stop opening the caches.
My strategy are:
If it looks fun, i get it in day one.
If it is not fun but meta, I'll get it on Friday.
I'm lucky enough to be playing his game before spotlight is a feature. Back then not all the spotlights cards are that close in power level so it is very easy to see which cards are skipable and which are must get. So im able to save up some keys and now I'm in a healthy place to just get fun cards that i desired, (not every week, but close)
Am actually planning on getting copy cat i just hope i get it from first try and save up the other 2 spotlights keys i have
i've been spanked by that discard deck or ones close to it! it's good!
It depends on the card. I usually know if I want a card, so I'll get it on Tuesday. If the card is really questionable, (Hydra Bob) then I wait until Friday.
Very fortunate to be card complete, so I pull until I get the new spotlight card most weeks.
I like to think think I have the self control to save up 4 keys before digging into a spotlight cache. In reality, I am definitely gonna blow all my keys on getting that nico variant.
Always try to tailor my pulls to fit my playstyle. I don't like Discard, so I still don't have Corvus or Proxima.
What about Phastos in the Surfer-Decks instead for example Mockingbird or Gwenpool?
I really dont like phastos
I am collection complete I always try for the new card and I’m usually lucky and open first or second key
Ideally i use spotlight keys if there are 2 cards that i don't have but since i am missing not many cards that rarely happens so if i stack enough keys i may go for a new card plus spotlight variant or just spend tokens on the new card if i really want it
I just throw keys at weeks where I don't have 2 or three of the cards otherwise I shoot with one try if its a card that fits my play style or if its a meta defining or type card. Have been going well until about 3 weeks ago. Those 1000 token caches they should change that. Glad to see spotlight variants in the shop but 2500 gold is too much.
