    I'd still prefer if Magik said "On reveal, of it's not turn 6, change this location to Limbo". That way you could at least play her on turn 6, even without the effect.

    I think that frequent balance changes ( every month) is ABSOLUTELY necessary in a game with such a limited card pool. Especially when 95% of players don’t have access to pool 4/5 cards. Every new card released outside of the BP does almost nothing to shake the meta up because of this.

      Initial Beta Nova, Carnage, Devil Dino, moon girl was absolutely insane. turn 6 with double devil dino or the flexability with everyone being in pools 1-2 and only some 3 was a really fun meta even zoo worked because so many people didn't own killmonger at the time.

    I've only been playing since global release, but I'd heard rumors of some of these oppressive decks, in particular the "Nova - Moon Girl" meta. However, my big takeaway is that the balance team knows what they are doing -- lowering the power of cards while still keeping them playable (in most cases) is a tough balancing act! I have high hopes they will continue to thread that needle for the current problem cards, Galactus and Leader.

  • @Bleech606

    Here's a good one you forgot, Jeff: Jubilee used to pull the top card of your deck. The way Chavez interacts with your deck and draws meant it nearly always pulled Chavez. When it was changed to a random card a lot of people complained it would be unplayable. Well, here we are.
    It's the same every change. Some people have no imagination.

  • @JustABrokenToy
    @JustABrokenToy Рік тому

    Thanks for the history lesson! I can see how some of the cards appeared to be balanced by relative standards, but the powerful synergies break parity. For example Swordmaster at 3/6 discard 1 vs old Hellcow at 2/6 discard 2. Seems like a reasonable tradeoff until the "downside" becomes an upside.
    Looking forward to some balance changes, Dekkster mentioned changing the Broodlings to be 2-cost and I think that's an elegant nerf to Silver Surfer without breaking Patriot or Cerebro synergies. As someone who hasn't bought season passes, I hope 2nd Dinner isn't too hesitant to nerf cards like Zabu and Surfer.

      It was actually a 4 / 4 card, not bad for such an impactful ability, then it got changed to a 4 / 1 and then the current statline. The -1 fits it thematically indeed and you can still flip it with the Peak location or Bast it up to 3 in your hand.

    Jeff, I have a question: are you pronouncing Modok incorrectly a meme (kinda like Bynx calling Magneto Magento) or just a mistake? I have seen a bunch of videos of yours mentioning him and it's always called "Mo-DECK" when the correct pronunciation is "Mo-DOCK".
    Modok's name is an acronym that means [M]ental [O]rganism [D]esigned [O]nly for [K]illing, so there's no [E] in there.
    Just thought to let you know.

    Great video. I have been playing since beta and got to experience those decks.
    The vast majority of nerfs have been great. I do think that cards like Magik suffer because it's hard to find a middle ground. She went from the GOAT that also dumpstered another problematic card to being fairly niche.
    It will be interesting to see what they do with Zabu. I think Surfer can be nerfed just fine. But the brokenness of Zabu is why its played.

  • @bootmanmstz

    with what you're saying about Magik, do you think we'll see the same thing with Kang since that's basically his ability to rewind the play after seeing it?

    • @DuckDoolittle
      @DuckDoolittle Рік тому

      Not likely, since Kang restarts the turn. Part of what made Magik so strong was that she locked in your opponent’s plays, giving you perfect information about where their power will be deployed. Kang will create a lot of 50/50 situations since the opponent is free to redeploy their power to different lanes rather than being committed to where they initially played out

    Nakia needs something to make her more playable. If she gave every card in my hand +1 I would be more willing to play her in a deck that needs that extra boost of power like Deadpool or even Human Torch decks. Of course Bast would still be the better option for those decks.
