Hercules getting a meaningful buff right before he comes back is nice to see.
Now are we forgetting about another 4/6 card? Please buff White Queen so I can play my sweet sweet variant.
Now she and Miles can be the C6 foundation ...
The Angela change feel fine at first glance. She's only worse after 4+ cards played in her lane, and let's be real, a 2/8 or 2/10 is pretty ridiculous.
Yeah its pretty elegent how if you simply fill up her lane without using any tricks her power is the same as pre-nerf
Even as a vanilla, she is still fine for a 2 cost lol, she has scaling with no downside basically
@@ValentinoNickoI wouldn't say that. The safe stat for a 2 cost is around 4 power. But really, if you play just 1 card on top of it, it is already at the expected power. Overall, it seemed like a buff to Angela when you buy her late, but a nerf when you play her on curve
@@rhadjantorres2909 2/3 is vanilla stats (Shocker).
2/2 is for card with utility (Beast, Daredevil, Forge, Goose, Grandmaster, Hazmat, Mirage, Mr. Sinister, Okoye, Psylocke, Scorpion, Shadow King, Master Mold, White Widow).
2/3 is given to card with utility but considered by SD to weak to be given 2/2 stats (Armor, Baron Mordo, Cable, Colossus, Dr. Strange, Falcon, Hulk Buster, Invis. Woman, Jeff, Quake, Ravonna, Scarlet Witch, Swarm, Sentinel, Valentina, Zabu, Multiple Man, US Agent).
Card can go further from 2/3, with limitation and / or downside, or considered a weak archetype (Mysterio, Lizard, Silk, Collen Wing, Cloak, Maximus).
Card that can scale with their respective limitation and is < 2/3 (Carnage, Mojo, Star Lord, Collector, Wolverine, Kraven, Medusa, Dazzler, Bucky Barnes, Dagger, Havok, Morbius).
Card with vanilla 2/3 stats and can scale, Angela. (I would also count Thena because her effect is very easy to use, but at least start at understats).
I don't know how you consider 2/4 is the safe stats when we literally only have 3 cards with that stats.
@@rhadjantorres2909 We only have 3 cards that have 2/4 stats, how would you call that safe stats.
2/3 is vanilla (Shocker).
2/2 for cards with utility (Beast, Daredevil, Forge, Goose, Grandmaster, Hazmat, Mold, Mirage, Sinister, Okoye, Psylocke, Scorpion, Shadow King, White Widow).
2/3 are given to cards with utility but considered weak if it is understats ( Armor, Baron Mordo, Cable, Colossus, Dr. Strange, Domino, Falcon, Hulk Buster, Invis. Woman, Jeff, Multi. Man, Quake, Ravonna, Scarlet Witch, Sentinel, Swarm, US Agent, Valentina, Zabu).
Cards with > 2/3 stats, usually with limitation and / or downside (Cloak, Collen Wing, Mysterio, Lizard, Silk, Maximus).
Cards with scaling ability and understats from as it is (Dagger, Havok, Morbius, Bucky Barnes, Carnage, Dazzler, Kraven, Medusa, Mojo, Star Lord, Collector).
Card with vanilla 2/3 stats with scaling ability, Angela. (I would like to include Thena as her effect is so easy to use, but at least she start as understats).
Sorta feels notable that the glut of 4 cost cards getting a buff or change seems to be inline with Zabu never getting re-addressed since it was nerfed. I don't expect we will ever see his old ongoing ability added, although I would like to see something to bring him back to game a little.
@@nickisaac8671 saw someone suggest "activate: next turn, your 4-cost cards cost 1 less." So you get to play him on curve and activate his ability at any point during the game.
@@foggyinc724 The reason Zabu was great was because it let you play two 4-costs on T6. The change you mentioned does nothing to address that.
@@silvsilvsilv Yes it does. Spoiler warning, but activate is a new mechanic that has been datamined. Once a card with an "activate" ability is in play, you can choose when its ability triggers. So with that suggested textbox you could play him early and activate his ability on turn 5
@@silvsilvsilvYou don't understand the Activate mechanic
@@electron4865 I understand what "activate" does. I'm saying with that ability he'd be like 90% as problematic as he was pre-nerf. Zabu's strenght wasn't that he let you play a 4-cost on T3, it's that he let you play two 4-costs on T6.
I could have handled the Angela nerf but so help me god if i start getting farted on again imma lose it😂😂
I was just starting to consider Alioth a non toxic card and even clever to build around.
I have a feeling I'll be hating seeing it again soon.
the nice thing with the Angela nerf is that this makes her better as a later play if you need too, and is better for the first 2 cards played on her and equal at the 3rd (i.e. playing her "honestly" just filling the lane straight) its only at the 4th play on her that she drops in half.
How could they nerf Angela during Pride Month???
I can see why Alioth was buffed, there are a bunch of decks with explosive t6 roaming around, aint nobody wanna lose to a very fair 2/20 Sage (with Ravonna discount), great change imo.
I like the kingpin change. Imo potential for move control
Yeah he always felt too expensive to have down when you need him
It comes just in time for Madame Webb.
I brought back my old silky-smoove deck this season but actually cut kingpin bc he just felt like back-up kraven. This change might get me to put him back in
Might give Aero a chance to find a place in the game.
Kingpin now a 1 cost means elektra can kill him lol interesting flavor
To me the nerf to Angela makes sense, yes I like her and the decks she's in but her power level was too damn high for a 2 cost. Another thing to note is that now it's a lot easier to gain priority with her which can really help in scenarios where you want to avoid Red Guardian or managing to bounce your 1 drops before Killmonger shows up, and as Jeff said now she can contenst Shadow King more easily.
The KP change is cool because now you can make very fun lines of plays with him such as turn 4 KP into SM, Jeggernaut or Polaris, turn 5 KP into Stegron and turn 6 KP into Aero.
The Hercules change will also help KP for sure but I feel like Herc is going to be a lot better in decks such as Phoenix Force and he can clear his lane meaning it's really easy to use him alongside Prof X so your opponent can't move anything there.
Yep. This change makes Angela a lot better against Red Guardian for surem
Saw the thumbnail and literally said "oh no" out loud to myself, it came from my heart
2/3 is a vanilla stats for 2 cost, I still think Angela is strong, just not as strong as before. If Angela "nerfed" to 2/3, I think it is just fair to elevate other 2 cost to be 3 power (Scorpion, Daredevil, Okoye).
imo facing scorpion is a miserable experience but I wouldn’t mind a buff to the other two
This is a very interesting OTA when you think about the spider season coming up.
Gotta love Jeff’s dedication to the game. I stopped playing a while ago but it’s good to see content creators like him are still around supporting the game. Love it.
That base power change to Angela makes her harder to target with Red Guardian, which should be interesting.
I don't like the Angela nerf at all, I understand the logic but I just don't like it when the most efficient way to get power is to just play high base stat stuff. Getting rid of these smaller cards that scale up is a buff to all of the higher powered cards in the game. If they had changed Angela to a 3/0 then maybe it would have been a more meaningful means of preventing her from scaling out of control. Another alternative would be to put a precedent where she can always scale to a certain point.
Ngl a 3/0 would make me drop her instantly. I think you underestimate how important it is for her to fit into your curve
@@dustinhiatt3835 but Ramona puts her in the curve and bounce plus kitty would probably still see use out of a higher cost Angela.
I'm with you on the importance of scaling cards, but I think 3/0 would have been a much bigger nerf than the one they went with. IMO she'd be basically unplayable at 3/0.
Excited for Hercules and Miles. Folks have even more of an incentive to open for Arishem now that Herc is better. Madame Web, Herc, Torch Vulture pinball deck is in my future.
Love the move buffs, especially the Kingpin buff. I love moving my opponents' cards around.
Sad for the Angela nerf but honestly +2 Angela has been marked for death since kitty pryde first entered the game. She got a stay of execution last month but Thena put her right back on the chopping block
Love this patch, going to look forward to brewing up with full move and/or little movers decks
I understand about giving Miles an extra power, but now that's 1 more card removed from C5 =/
Yeah sadly I have to look for a replacement for it Ive looked through my cards and I'm not exactly sure
Just my personal opinion. I wish cards like Alioth they just changed the text to something more interactive or meaning-full rather than just changing stat points to make it more relevant. Considering a lot of decks rely on turn 6 plays I feel personally Alioth just kills a lot of that enjoyment in the game. Not saying it’s necessarily a bad change but for me personally I’m not a fan.
Great breakdown. Thanks.
While I'm sad that Angela is getting hit, on the flip side I also never like it when a certain card is often "best in slot" in most decks and with Angela's synergy with Ravonna she was certainly getting to that stage. As for Alioth, I hate to say this, but I think I'd like to see him a bit more often. His effect is no where near as oppressive as old Alioth was and I think certain players (cough: surfer enjoyers) have been getting a bit too complacent with where they telegraph their turn 6 plays.
I'm cautiously optimistic that the Alioth buff will be OK, but idk. The rest seems really nice to me.
Lmao the supersaiyan hair on alioth
Looking forward to the changes. Glad to see move get some love.
I'm ready to see some brews on move
Spider Man was a nerf to cérebro 5.
As a move enjoyer, this makes me extremely happy. I don't mind the Alioth buff, as I think it's worth at least waiting to see how it affects his overall playrate, but I really dont feel like Angela needed a nerf at all. She is rarely protected in the decks she fits in and is already countered just fine by Shadow King and Shang if she gets out of hand. Her power and effectiveness are very good, but I've never lost to a deck with Angela and thought, "Yes it's Angela thats the problem!"
Aaaaa my C5 Deck lost Miles T-T
Mine too sadly I don't know what to put in it's place either
Sad to see Miles leaving the C5 package, having Nocturbe-Polaris-Spiderman staying on the 5 power line
Well, at least I'm not gonna have to worry about my Angela getting Shanged that often. Not that it happened often but it did happen quite a few times
Welp no more 1 cost Angelas and another ruined deck yay.
Thena should have eaten the nerf not Angela but here we go again with the 6th tweak to Angela.
This pisses me off a bit not gonna lie cuz they just sorta choked on their own words from angela's last ota and it seems they only buffed her to push thena and that fucking sucks.
Would be cool if they would stop gutting the new player power houses but second dinner just wants the money that's why they didn't hit Thena.
Really wish they would use real time data and not preship ota shit based off their old data.
Calling it now they will eat their words again when Angela sees no play at all cuz her play rate was already fading.
Been playing a lot of OG move excited to try this Hercules & I love his dann hipp variant I got few weeks ago then with all the datamines sipdey move in September might be on the rise 👀
Quite bummed about Angela, one of my favourite cards, but I can't deny that a nerf was justified. I really hope she remains playable, though.
god damnit
Reading down the comments and yours made me laugh being simple, understandable and unexplained.
Honestly I'm surprised they also didn't nerf with her. Because that's what I was expecting.
I love all these changes!
Looking Slim
Fury going into my Arishem Loki pile for sure.
The speed of the Angela nerf is impressive. L 👀 king forward to the rapid response team not letting some cards go unchecked for 6 to 18 months.
Welp, c5 is going to miss you spidey
I'm not a fan of the Angela change. My bounce decks tend to include Bast and this blows.
Angela nerf: ... ok, I guess it makes sense
Alioth buff: PLEASE GOD, NO!!
All other changes: great!
I like all the changes here, almost nobody played Alioth anymore so I think It's fair and the angela package has been very oppressive. I though Thena would take a hit too and a power of ravona but oh well :)
But negative was actually not terrible, gonna miss that deck
I knew I shouldn't have passed on the chibi Alioth! 😅
Same
Folded!
Make the cards Fury made to have -1 to their cost
Stegron does be looking lovely 😄
Love Hecules buff, but many cards out there still need help and dev decided to buff Alioth?? if dev want to see him really bad, just make him 5/5.
Alioth has been very solid for me lately against all the surfer running around
Nerfing angela near the end of pride month is crazy
NOOOOO MILES WAS GOOD IN C5 NOOOO
Always a great content.
Ty for the video, Jeff.
>Angela is a core part of my deck
>Angela's getting nerfed due to her powerful interactions with 4+ other cards
>I own none of of those 4+ cards and have no certain way of getting them ;_;
rhino buff when tho
Remember guys Alioth will be a 5 drop with Arishem 👍
This version of Alioth should be 12 power. He's gone from being a big bad, to a big sad.
Noooo, i dont want to get farted on 😭
Also, damn it SD, i just missed the chibbi version to fart on people
I hate to see the Angela nerf. I'd be interested to see their metrics, especially over the last week. Anecdotally my stock Angela/Kitty/Thena deck has struggled a lot against all the surfer decks running rampant right now so I'm curious if this isn’t one of those changes that's coming on the heels of high usage that pushes a card out that was already going to phase out naturally.
"I'd be interested to see their metrics" has big "SD doesn't understand their own data" energy.
I'm fine seeing her nerfed, I swear like 30-40% of games is kitty and Angela.
Gotta disagree here. I spent literally seconds on a thena/angela/kitty deck after buying her in the shop and was winning more easily than any other deck I had. Most of my losses were to other Thena decks lol
Angela was reliably like a 2/10 every game. This nerf is absolutely justified.
Gotta add Alioth to your Kitty Angela deck now to deal with Surfer.
👍
Wong's combos are more of a problem than Odin's triggers. A Zabu Nerf is definitely in order.
Miles was a key part of C5 decks, this is more of a Nerf than a Buff.
Zabu...nerf? Buddy I hate to bring you the news 2 months late
OMG. FIX. KANG. JFC.
Alioth’s power is irrelevant.
Nerfing Angela during Pride, BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Buffing Hercules during Pride, YAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Pride Neutral, I guess. Happy I finished my Infinite Climb AND got my Conquest variant before Alioth creeps back into the meta.
💪🙂🎉
I gave Electro/Blink/Galactus a try earlier this week and man, Alioth definitely did not need this buff. People started forgetting about it, and it was able to rug pull for some unexpected wins.
Angela is kind of the face of the game imho. One of the coolest cards. The nerf kind kills her imho and I strongly believe Angela shouldnt change for the sins of Thena. And I like and own Thena.
Angela is in no way the face of the game. Non comic book readers don't even know who she is (and a significant amount of comic book readers probably don't either). The change also doesn't kill her. If you activate her 5 times she'll still be a 2/8, which is way above rate.
I was having too much fun playing Snap anyway. Nerfing Angela in pride month smh
Hey Jeff, thanks for the breakdown. RIP Angela she will be missed. Are you personally losing weight? I am trying to lose weight myself because of health reasons and trying to feel better. It's been rough so I always want to encourage those who choose to go on the grind of healthy weight lose.
I've gone from 220 to 190 this year so far. Aiming for 170 before 2025. Keep at it, you'll get there as well!
I don't agree, Angela is going to be dead like when they made her gain +1 power the first time.
It’s net neutral if you fill the lane. It’s only a nerf after 4 cards played there.
well from the title, I can tell I will be taking a break from Snap for a while
How could they do this to Angela during Pride month 😢
Any Angela nerf should have waited for July.
Yay alioth buff, I've missed the purple fart
Angela nerf is unwarranted I think. High playrate is a dumb metric for nerfs
Angela nerf is good news
I'm so glad I've stopped playing this game < 3
I haven't even spent any of the 8,000 gold from the Gambit bundle refund, but I'm still getting drawn in by Jeff's vids.
There was NO NEED to nerf Angela, for crying out loud, she has a ton of counters, I can’t believe this
Did you not watch the video? Especially the part where SD literally gave their reasoning for the change?
The only counters are red guardian, sk and Shang. They are not even good counters too as rg has to be used turn 3. And sk and shang are not reliable as you will rarely lose prio against her causing you to still loose the lane.
@@austinchen4177 yeah, there are 3 different counters you already mentioned, also Green Goblin, Polaris, Debree…. I’m sure I’m forgetting others too
@@silvsilvsilvyeah, but I don’t agree. Angela is not a problem, and maybe a beautiful variant given for free on drops also counts for her being played more? There are other cards way more problematic than Angela
@@felipecunha1317kitty Angela is actually one of the biggest counters to clog because you can fill lane with a move card or kitty to prevent the clog
👍
