War machine’s deck encourage you to play infnaut and ebony maw. The problem is in a world where you don’t draw war machine those cards are literally unplayable. Now the shift to storm gaming might be a thing ( storm legion war machine might honestly be a broken combo . But storm decks don’t usually have trouble winning storm lane. It’s the other lanes that are a problem
@@paulakroy2635this isn’t a problem in the slightest, Shuri decks have been doing this forever, and they need you to draw a one of for it to be playable. Deck was top tier for ever.

@@paulakroy2635War Machine was already insanely powerful and won me the most games more than any other deck. You have powerful 1 cost cards, Storm, Blink, etc. You can lockdown locations, switch out cards for your more powerful ones, etc.
This is going to spawn a new archetype, the unplayable being playable. I can already see this being a level of annoying as the share Sauron era was. But letting it cook for now is going to be enjoyable

I don't think that Sandman is dead,you can still play Sandman turn 5 into Ultron turn 6. And opponent can't play 2 cards like Kitty + Darkhawk, only Darkhawk in a lot of games. It is still strong.
He'll be good with lower cost decks like Havok/Thena, which still play well; Devil Dino, Darkhawk, SS, and Toxic decks helping prevent big cards to come down the line on t6
@@impkiller5932 I was thinking about Silver Surfer decks too. They love playing either 2 3's or 3 2's with Sera, and with Sandman, that ain't gonna happen.
I am officially taking a break from this game for a few months and don’t know if I will be back. I am sick and tired of just getting a new card and it getting nerfed the next day. Need a new system.
Well I took a break for 2 months and tried to come back recently and its been extremely tough to try and catch up with all the cards currently. If you do come back good luck man its ridiculous.
I mean. Going from a Top 1% Card to a top 2% card is hardly a problem. If you just bought Sandman (unlikely since he's series 3 if I recall correctly), then that would be a valid complaint. This one is not as 1 power on a REAAAAAALLLLLLYYY good card that's good in 100+ decks is not going to change your life.
That War Machine change. Jeez SD, did you have to piss on Professor X's lifeless corpse like that? He's already completely dead, especially with this season.
Love these videos that go over OTA changes. A lot of other channels just run into gameplay with the new changes leaving me confused. Good to have a source reviewing this information.
I've been using an Amazing Spider-Man themed move deck with Silver Sable, Ghost-Spider, Silk, Kraven, Madame Web, Spider-Man, Vulture, Symbiote Spider-Man, Miles Morales, Doc Oc (Superior Variant), Spider-Woman, Spider-Man 2099. It's been SO fun! I used to have Spider-Ham in it before Madame Web came out and that was also fun and effective.
Nice, I'm running a similar deck, I think Arana will be very good to work with 2099 and Scarlet Spider will be very good with Arana and Symbiote. I'm running Late Bishop for the Grapple Arrow and overall versatility
Oh no, the Mockingbird one hurts. As a 10 cost she worked with Skaar, could be drawn from the location that gives you a 10 power card, etc. I did actually like her as a 6 cost for the benefits rather than a 5, but I guess it makes sense 😞
While I do think these changes are all pretty decent with the exception of Agatha (which I think only makes the card atomically better at the cost of taking away part of what made her special) there are quite a few cards that are just as deserving or more deserving of reworks than them such as America Chavez, Colossus, Kang, Howard, Giganto, Phastos, Adam Warlock, Crystal, Okoye, Nakia, and Sword Master to name a few
Can at least u creators hold these devs somewhat accountable? I didn't even pull for Mockingbird and i'm mad, 2 days after the card left spotlight cache it's already getting reverted... They buffed it few weeks before it came back to spotlight caches, the moment it left spotlight caches it's getting reverted? Really now? And no one is gonna call this blatant shit out? It's not rought, it's straight up shameless, i was second guessing if i should keep opening caches until i get mockingbird bcs i was thinking of making the Skaar deck with 10 power cards, thank god i didn't...
it's really frustrating to be chasing a meta-defining card like mockingbird only to watch it slowly get nerfed over time until you finally get it in the most recent spotlight...to nerf it again. Super glad my hype for using my spotlight keys was unfounded. After 2-3 nerfs it should automatically be dropped to series 4 to reflect the decrease in quality. Never got to play peak Mockingbird and now I never will.
unless you play skaar i think it's a good change, it does suck that it stays untouched for its spotlight week... war machine might do the same... but don't let it get you down, it's still fantastic and newly shang chi proof (:
@@Alex-zi1nb lol if it didn't change how good she was why would second douches have made the change in the first place? she's a 6/9, awful. not even as good as she was as a 5/9.
@Alex-zi1nb this is a real issue in the game though, doesn't matter how little or big the change is. People finally, FINALLY obtain a meta or "good" and it gets nerfed. They really need a system that refunds currency or something when cards grt nerfed. Like hearthstone.
@@gingerail4605 i think the Dev try to make Sandman less hate by players, took one example, if usually Sera Surfer had 3 Cards for turn 6 (Surf, Monger, Sebastian) now after patch can play 2 cards instead of just 1 card block by Sandman
Speaking about the moon girl buff made me think of old zabu, I used to play a black knight deck with quinjet, zabu and moongirl, turn 6 would always be crazy with 2 3/20 ebony blades that couldn't be destroyed
Every card I buy gets nerfed a week or two later. Lol. Or in the case of Loki re-worked to a state that isn't fun to play. I liked Loki how he was before the 3/5 change. Warmachine is going to become a 4/5 for sure though. 4/7 with the ability to play anywhere and play on turn 5 and still drop a T6 20 power Infinaut is going to be a problem. He enables too much and himself has a strong statline. But for those who have him, enjoy him.
i just got mockingbird on both accounts. i don’t have him, but skaar forms what is quite possibly one of my favorite deck archetypes ever. and no, i’m not even mad about the mockingbird change lol i mean if you care so much she’s still VERY playable in skaar and now you don’t need like caiera or anything and you’re not as rushed to play her super-early
@@GhonzhalezEcho only works if she’s already down and they play on her. Sure you might be able to sneak her on 4 if you have priority and guess correctly.
As a newer player with limited keys needing mockingbird the week after the cache is a literally SD spitting in my face. You could’ve done this prior easily no issue. I only opened sable for mocking bird and they knew that would be the case for many. I never would’ve opened sable and water 4 keys if I wasn’t pushing for mockingbird. I do not care if it’s a minor nerf. They know what they’re doing and they absolutely railroad their loyal customers. Only played a couple months may quit now. This company is greedy.
I never thought War Machine was bad. He turns Goose, Storm, and Infinaut into location winners and packs a decent punch at 7 power. Now he can get 2 turns of benefit and open up turn 5 plays. This is huge.
@@h445it's literally a buff, 10+ power card is always shang chi target, if by shangchi'd your mockingbird lane wins me the game, why not. With 9 power, your mockingbird will save 100%. You need to play mockingbird early before your opp play mobius
I don't get this take - The amount of games I lose by 1 power in a lane is not zero, but it's so vanishingly small I can't even remember the last time it happened. Maybe a week ago? Maybe more? This is not a problem my dude. Man (or woman) up and take the nerf like you've got the spine to handle it.
9:49 I really do think it's just to combat those bots... In Proving Grounds easily 50% of the time it's a 1 cost Agatha bot, and 35% it's macro that retreats on turn three just for the boosters
I immediately go towards the Black Knight deck when thinking about the War Machine change. I really think something is there with that along with the buff to Ghost Rider. Big deck potential
@@amcc8188 the meta when war machine came out had a Black Knight deck already around using Giganto and Infinaut. These just became better and a lot thought War Machine would be work in the deck but then it flopped
Thank you for the fast update Alex, you're the best. Also at this point SD should just put Ghost Rider and Moon Girl as 3 costs with the amount of power creep the game has it could be good for them
Holy hell that WM change! I've loved him in my cope Jean deck. I wanted to grab Madame web for that 2 slot piece but as I want Scarlet Spidey and the White Widow variant more I only had 2 to spare. Used 2, got 1k tokens and the Silk variant (the one variant I didnt want) so figured eh I'll just grab Madame in a future cache. But then this WM change? I don't really know if I need Madame as much. It would still be nice but considering my GreySandMachine deck also uses Goose this is going to be super nice. I can slot Cosmo in now too and shift some cards to more ongoing like Klaw.
I think Alex might have overlooked the "(max 6)" note on Sandman's revised ability, given how he spoke of Sandman/Ultron in the past tense. The nerf doesn't impact how the Sandman deck plays out at all, all it does it make Turn 6 a little less oppressive on the opponent (but I still wouldn't want to be playing Bounce into it).
If Agatha is still acting every other turn, then it doesn't sound like it triggers the timeout to force retreat. If anyone faces an Agatha farmer after this they'll be waiting an entire turn duration now which makes the issue worse
-War machine is finally the card he always should have been! Siiiiick! -Sandman might even be better in an arishem deck now. -yup the mocking bird nerf a week after i finally get her is obnoxious. Still a useful card though. -Aero is still a hottie and still not a good card -ghost rider probably still not making it into the best discard deck by is slightly better in hela -Agatha is now worth considering in a few decks. Not meta but twice as good ws she was
I have a bad feeling this Sandman change is going to make some pixie Mobius deck very strong and then we’ll be in a Mobius meta again Also a nice buff for Black Knight Skaar Decks. I used to run a Black Knight Hela deck with Black Cat as a consistent third discard if I don’t have my Blade or Sif. BK decks always lacked that third discard effect which made them consistent, now that you can low roll 10 power and get Skaar down to 4 more often I can see it being a rogue deck.
Surprised that Cozy didn’t mention how much better Agatha Arishem decks will be. Been able to consistently having a high power turn 5 is nothing to scuff at.
Wait what?! They're buffing War Machine when he was already amazing?! War Machine is my favorite card that has won me the most games with his literal game-breaking ability, so making it ongoing is even better! War Machine is my main card so I love seeing him get more attention and hope more give him a chance!😁❤️
Sandman nerfs suck. Make it an ongoing or something at like a 3-4 cost or don't nerf him at all. He's a good card to punish decks that like to play a lot of cheap cards late and is very predictable, so low cube rates.
It is still punishing decks that love to play many cards. Like they can play only 2 cards that cost 2 energy or they can play 3 energy card and 1 energy card. That's all.
Damn... how crazy it is that Sandman got so many changes ... buff and nerf... I wonder if he has the most buff and nerf of any card... hopefully this is the last change
Moon Birl hasn't been the same since the cap to hand size? Maybe allow her to uncap hand size? Would make more sense lore-wise for her to enable Devil Dino's true potential. Also, would allow newer F2P players a competitive edge climbing into Rank against the higher cl players if only marginally.
After sooo many games with Black Cat, there were maybe 2 games in which I could use it properly. I almost always pulled out her in the first 3 rounds, which is very frustrating. I don’t think that 1 power is the change that would needed. 😂😂😂 Maybe “Always draw on turn 4. If this is in your hand after the turn, discard it.” And of course with less power. I don’t really understand why they didn’t do it earlier. And the fact, that they give 10-10 power, to a 4 and a 5 cost card, while they change a 6 cost card to 9 is just funny. 😂 Very good game, one of my favorites, but they don’t really try to improve it sensibly. And not only in terms of gameplay, but also in the menu, there should be a lot of changes in terms of flexibility.
If you Aren't playing black Cat With Ghost Rider you're doing it wrong. I have her in a Ghost Rider, Black Knight, Moon Knight, Stature deck. If Cat drops herself when I've played Black night , I get a 4-9 card for free. Either way I can GR her back for 4-14 turn. That's SUPER strong. If I've black bolted or moon Knighted the enemy, I can drop 4-14 in one lane, and 1-7, plus possibly another 1-3 in other lanes 24 power slam on turn 6 is nothing to scoff at, and dropping 14 on curve is also pretty slick. 4-12 was good, 4-14 is good enough I'm going back to that deck to ride the wave for a bit. (also it's amazing for death-related locations).
Agatha is a little interesting, odd turns are actually specifically useful, the dream being you storm where ever she played turn 2, pro x a lane you are winning on 5, and she can only play herself in one lane 🤣
I hate when I see the dev notes and they always say they wanted to reduce a cards cost but it would be too good. How about go with it and see if it’s actually true, I’d love to see a 3 cost moon girl and war machine for control meta to actually come back and shake things up
I wonder how good new Sandman will be in a Pixie Mobius deck... Outside of Mobius and maybe Arishem synergy, though, I don't see any great way to run this card
Buffing Ghost Rider really just seems out of touch with the game. It's never been a bad card and it doesn't need more power. It only moves out of the meta when the meta doesn't favor cheating out huge dudes. Also hate when they delete cards like with Sandman.
Idk if it will be GOOD, per sé, but having agency over turn 3 is ridiculously important with the current style of decks that try to use Agatha "seriously" idk how many times i have ben looking at wave sif and corvus, then the hub pops up and gives me a havok and Agatha says ":o perfect!!!"
Funny, that War Machine OTA was exactly the change I was thinking was needed when thinking what is the best way to nerf Sandman. Don't touch Sandman, just make War Machine Ongoing
Just got to the actual Sandman nerf - man that is going to kill that card. They should have left his stats, change the test to the new text, but only for your opponent.
Ooof it was just “leaked”; almost had a heart attack thinking I missed something earlier today 😅 How I just wonder when War Machine and Ajax will make it back into spotlights 👌
I'm a little worried that lockdown will flourish with Warmachine. They hit Sandman and Prof X for the reason they were not fun to play against. Now, we'll see Storm > Warmachine > Legion...not fun. Very odd decision IMO Aero still isn't good. If Juggernaut can move an unlimited number of unrevealed cards, it would be nice to see it move one.
Sandman idea; 4/7 On Reveal: Add 2 "Sand" to your hand. Sand 2/0 Activate: Send this card to your opponents side of this location and Destroy a random card there.
War machine seems busted, I'm kind of sad to see it as it probably means he's up for a nerf in the future ): I'd honestly have preferred to just have him stay where he is, as they'll probably overcorrect later on. I wish he'd just have become activate ):
WOW! Thank God I Pinned War Machine. Still lacking 3100 tokens to be able to purchase it, may take me another 2 or 3 months, given the rate I receive tokens 😅

Holy hell that WM change! I've loved him in my cope Jean deck. I wanted to grab Madame web for that 2 slot piece but as I want Scarlet Spidey and the White Widow variant more I only had 2 to spare. Used 2, got 1k tokens and the Silk variant (the one variant I didnt want) so figured eh I'll just grab Madame in a future cache.
But then this WM change? I don't really know if I need Madame as much. It would still be nice but considering my GreySandMachine deck also uses Goose this is going to be super nice. I can slot Cosmo in now too and shift some cards to more ongoing like Klaw.
Hopefully the new Agatha TV show isn't a flop lol
Thanks for the video and the information. An interesting OTA that will likely change a few things.
I'd love to see the Agatha change to EGO as well.
I think Alex might have overlooked the "(max 6)" note on Sandman's revised ability, given how he spoke of Sandman/Ultron in the past tense. The nerf doesn't impact how the Sandman deck plays out at all, all it does it make Turn 6 a little less oppressive on the opponent (but I still wouldn't want to be playing Bounce into it).
If Agatha is still acting every other turn, then it doesn't sound like it triggers the timeout to force retreat. If anyone faces an Agatha farmer after this they'll be waiting an entire turn duration now which makes the issue worse
-War machine is finally the card he always should have been! Siiiiick!
-Sandman might even be better in an arishem deck now.
-yup the mocking bird nerf a week after i finally get her is obnoxious. Still a useful card though.
-Aero is still a hottie and still not a good card
-ghost rider probably still not making it into the best discard deck by is slightly better in hela
-Agatha is now worth considering in a few decks. Not meta but twice as good ws she was
Guess I need to be on the lookout for War Machine in the token shop now.
I think if this is going to be sandman's new effect. I think it should only effect the opponent, be an ongoing and should be the the opposite to sera.
I have a bad feeling this Sandman change is going to make some pixie Mobius deck very strong and then we’ll be in a Mobius meta again
Also a nice buff for Black Knight Skaar Decks. I used to run a Black Knight Hela deck with Black Cat as a consistent third discard if I don’t have my Blade or Sif. BK decks always lacked that third discard effect which made them consistent, now that you can low roll 10 power and get Skaar down to 4 more often I can see it being a rogue deck.
Surprised that Cozy didn’t mention how much better Agatha Arishem decks will be. Been able to consistently having a high power turn 5 is nothing to scuff at.
Wait what?! They're buffing War Machine when he was already amazing?! War Machine is my favorite card that has won me the most games with his literal game-breaking ability, so making it ongoing is even better! War Machine is my main card so I love seeing him get more attention and hope more give him a chance!😁❤️
The most surprising this is that WM still has 7 power im sure they'll take away like 3 or 4 power or even increase his cost to stop the zabu plays
Sandman nerfs suck. Make it an ongoing or something at like a 3-4 cost or don't nerf him at all. He's a good card to punish decks that like to play a lot of cheap cards late and is very predictable, so low cube rates.
It is still punishing decks that love to play many cards. Like they can play only 2 cards that cost 2 energy or they can play 3 energy card and 1 energy card. That's all.
@@impkiller5932 so in other words they can still play multiple cards on turn 6 lol.
@@h445 they could play multiple cards before either like war machine or Jeff.
Slightly disappointed there aren't any new activates but I suppose that's for this month's patch.
>break war machine
>change sandman to compensate
>wait where’d storm and legion and professor x go we still have to deal with them
This game is doing the helldivers method. Making everything broken until they eventually nerf it all to the ground. War Machine is finna go dummy
hey, no need to mix the mockingbird salt and the war machine salt
agatha now has interesting synergies with sandman and magik
What an OTA! They just keep getting weirder and weirder and I love it!!
Skaar Deck was so fun, Aero is a new tool
No way they nerf Mockingbird after Ive spent four keys for her 🤣
Out of Shang Chi now
Nerf and kinda a Buff
Sandman is always catching strays. I miss the old Ongoing Sandman/Electro ramp.
When you spoke about the war machine change, I was like now we have an answer to sandman, but then you tell me about the change to sandman...
Sneaky, I didn't even notice that.
Still stops goose though, which is nice. Goose can be annoying.
Damn... how crazy it is that Sandman got so many changes ... buff and nerf... I wonder if he has the most buff and nerf of any card... hopefully this is the last change
Haha! Glad I picked up War Machine after all. I knew a buff would be coming. They said I was crazy...
Appreciate you bro. Agatha has serious potential now!
Mobius M Mobius + Sandman feels like it's going to win a lot of 2 cube retreats
I wonder about them buffing War Machine and nerfing Sandman at the same time.
Not sure how I feel about Aero being susceptible to Shang-Chi. But Agatha is going to be a lot of fun.
regis is gonna cry when he sees the agatha change after how much grief she gave him by playing makkari on turn 3 so many times
Sandman was legit. Got to infinite with a solid Sandy deck. Plus that sand in the face animation is hilarious.
Sandman with Mobius M Mobius *chefs kiss*
Sucks for your opponent.. not you
Moon Birl hasn't been the same since the cap to hand size? Maybe allow her to uncap hand size? Would make more sense lore-wise for her to enable Devil Dino's true potential. Also, would allow newer F2P players a competitive edge climbing into Rank against the higher cl players if only marginally.
Do we know when or if a activate patch is happening
After sooo many games with Black Cat, there were maybe 2 games in which I could use it properly. I almost always pulled out her in the first 3 rounds, which is very frustrating. I don’t think that 1 power is the change that would needed. 😂😂😂
Maybe “Always draw on turn 4. If this is in your hand after the turn, discard it.” And of course with less power. I don’t really understand why they didn’t do it earlier.
And the fact, that they give 10-10 power, to a 4 and a 5 cost card, while they change a 6 cost card to 9 is just funny. 😂
Very good game, one of my favorites, but they don’t really try to improve it sensibly. And not only in terms of gameplay, but also in the menu, there should be a lot of changes in terms of flexibility.
Card that synergizes with itself and solves it's own problem makes no sense.
If you Aren't playing black Cat With Ghost Rider you're doing it wrong.
I have her in a Ghost Rider, Black Knight, Moon Knight, Stature deck.
If Cat drops herself when I've played Black night , I get a 4-9 card for free. Either way I can GR her back for 4-14 turn. That's SUPER strong.
If I've black bolted or moon Knighted the enemy, I can drop 4-14 in one lane, and 1-7, plus possibly another 1-3 in other lanes 24 power slam on turn 6 is nothing to scoff at, and dropping 14 on curve is also pretty slick.
4-12 was good, 4-14 is good enough I'm going back to that deck to ride the wave for a bit.
(also it's amazing for death-related locations).
When will Zabu become an activate card? I miss playing my Shang-Chi+Ghost Rider/Ebony Blade turn 6
Ugh
..killed sandman
Agatha is a little interesting, odd turns are actually specifically useful, the dream being you storm where ever she played turn 2, pro x a lane you are winning on 5, and she can only play herself in one lane 🤣
War Machine just skyrocketed holy hell.
I hate when I see the dev notes and they always say they wanted to reduce a cards cost but it would be too good. How about go with it and see if it’s actually true, I’d love to see a 3 cost moon girl and war machine for control meta to actually come back and shake things up
I wonder how good new Sandman will be in a Pixie Mobius deck... Outside of Mobius and maybe Arishem synergy, though, I don't see any great way to run this card
Keeping War Machine as a 4/7 is crazy and I'm here for it
Buffing Ghost Rider really just seems out of touch with the game. It's never been a bad card and it doesn't need more power. It only moves out of the meta when the meta doesn't favor cheating out huge dudes.
Also hate when they delete cards like with Sandman.
Idk if it will be GOOD, per sé, but having agency over turn 3 is ridiculously important with the current style of decks that try to use Agatha "seriously" idk how many times i have ben looking at wave sif and corvus, then the hub pops up and gives me a havok and Agatha says ":o perfect!!!"
That war machine buff gonna put psylocke and zabu in decks again
Funny, that War Machine OTA was exactly the change I was thinking was needed when thinking what is the best way to nerf Sandman. Don't touch Sandman, just make War Machine Ongoing
Just got to the actual Sandman nerf - man that is going to kill that card. They should have left his stats, change the test to the new text, but only for your opponent.
As a War Machine believer, this pleases me
Hey Alex, got a question for you!
Why does Agatha's power come from cotton candy? Was she from a carnival?
I have some cool ghost rider variants. Hopefully he's good so i can play them.
Cosmo into War-Machine is crazy ..
Weird the mockingbird nerf reveals right after i spend 4 keys for her😂
Will Kang ever get buffed?
Ooof it was just “leaked”; almost had a heart attack thinking I missed something earlier today 😅
How I just wonder when War Machine and Ajax will make it back into spotlights 👌
What was old aero like? I didn’t play back then and she’s just been so bad I can’t imagine what happened
I'm a little worried that lockdown will flourish with Warmachine. They hit Sandman and Prof X for the reason they were not fun to play against. Now, we'll see Storm > Warmachine > Legion...not fun. Very odd decision IMO
Aero still isn't good. If Juggernaut can move an unlimited number of unrevealed cards, it would be nice to see it move one.
Can sandman be put in a pixie mobius deck?
ah man, i just made a sandman deck... back to the drawing board
Sandman idea;
4/7
On Reveal: Add 2 "Sand" to your hand.
Sand
2/0
Activate: Send this card to your opponents side of this location and Destroy a random card there.
WAR MACHINE IS INSANNNNNNNNE
Shoulda left Sandman alone. He was fine. Bounce, Sera, Negative, etc. needed a hard counter.
You know for sure I'm gonna be playing Agatha now.
What is the nerf to black cat? In the vid it shows nerf
War machine seems busted, I'm kind of sad to see it as it probably means he's up for a nerf in the future ): I'd honestly have preferred to just have him stay where he is, as they'll probably overcorrect later on. I wish he'd just have become activate ):
WOW! Thank God I Pinned War Machine. Still lacking 3100 tokens to be able to purchase it, may take me another 2 or 3 months, given the rate I receive tokens 😅
I just made a civil war deck so the war machine buff is much appreciated
