As someone who has been coping with zoo thanos deck even before marvel boy the mind stone change is such a huge win. I think goose should always be in thanos deck, the space stone thanos or mockingbird in goose lane is just too good imo
Thanos decks should be fun but unfortunately he’s just so weak. It’s instructive that Alex here didn’t get close to playing all 6 stones in a game, and didn’t actively play Thanos on turn 5 or 6 at all. Mockingbird and Spectrum did all the heavy lifting. Thanos needs more buffing!
I agree. I love the direction he is going but it's still incomplete. If someone plays a Spider-ham turn 1 or a location that restricts the amount of cards you can play you're fucked. I tried turning Thanos into a 0/10 pig with Mobius but it's so inconsistent.
Thanos clogging your opening hand still feels bad. If they want the deck to be about actually playing the Thanos card, an idea I had is if they take away the start in hand thing and make the space stone draw Thanos, which would make sense thematically since it can make him appear through a portal
yeah but the reason they implemented that was because people were ignoring thanos and just using the stones yes, people still do that, but i think it’s a good idea to always have thanos as an alternate win condition. not only that, but the stones have been redesigned around having thanos from the beginning, so those would have to be reverted if they were to remove the start in hand thing
Mindstone helps but his building will always be awkward if they keep ongoing attached to one cost cards. That takes up a lot of space and is killmonger bait. An idea I’ve seen floating around is to give Thanos the gauntlet to protect the stones/merge, and also having each stone give him +1 or 2 per stone played. He’s still not quite there but getting closer. Also he needs to change places in hand randomly so he’s not instantly boned by spider ham
you should just buy cards if they seem like a play style you like, not based on strength. they have a consistent pattern of buffing every bad card and nerfing every good card
Alex your probably not gonna see this, but I have a solution for Angel. Keep it a 2/3 where if the card is destroyed or discarded it will change to Archangel, +2 power flying to a losing location from the hand or deck. He would actually see play with those stats in ability in both destroy and discard. Really love your Archangel idea and wanted to expand on it! Happy Snapping!
@@AlexanderCoccia For the content! He'd be kinda like a mini Proxima but that can be played in Destroy! It's weird to me he's literally unplayable in discard when he's a horseman of apocalypse in the comics
Hey Alex, I've seen a brew floating around: using Loki + Marvel Boy + Thanos + Beast. In theory, the stones could help you draw the cheap Loki cards faster. I'd love to see your thoughts on this. The concept is exciting, but I think in practice you run out of playable room before you can really pop off.
I want to try that Howard deck so bad. RNG doesn't want me to be happy. I have the keys for Lad. But I am 4.9K CL and no Howard yet. And he's been S3 for a while now. Knowing my luck he'll be the last S3 card I get. I really hope the next OTA removes the stipulation that Thanos has to be in your opening hand. Then we can really enjoy Thanos' return.
Alex said at the start of the video " Thanos is good again, and he's most currently back " but then every deck he show he say not consistent and not powerful enough...🤦♂
Loved the video Alex, got me playing Thanos again. I think Copy Cat is bugged though. I just had my Thanos Copy Catted. Not sure how that works but Thanos is fun.
WhT about a combo Thanos Bounce deck. Would allow you to replay the stones for draw and let you swap out slots in the lane with potentially more powerful cards or even off a Bast play to pump the stones to 3 power before a Spectrum play
I’ve tried this but the problem is your hand gets flogged plus it just doesn’t add enough power. I wish thanos added power to all lanes if all stones were played.
I dunno. I’ve been underwhelmed in my testing. Just regular Gilga Zoo consistently put out more points. Less RNG draws. I lost 1k rank fooling around with Thanos. MB feels awkward to play
I was so happy you called out the Lockjaw revert (other creators have not been) and the first deck showcased was Thanos Ongoing (always been my favorite Thanos deck)...but then you said "irregardless" and that's my #1, grammar trigger pet peeve and I vomited. Thanks, Alex. Thanks.
I wish I could play Thanos but he just won’t work for me. I find myself, a lot more than I should, going into T3 and still haven’t drawn a stone. Or just drawing the entire top end of the deck right off the rip. Thanos loves to brick for me when I run him. I just don’t get it. I have tried almost every version (zoo, on-going, etc) and it’s just that way in most games. It’s maddening.
This is the Thanos deck with consistency and high winrate, 47-5 W-L (1) Ant Man (1) Nebula (1) Nico Minoru (2) Beast (2) Psylocke (3) Cassandra Nova (3) Marvel Boy (3) Hope Summers (4) Cull Obsidian (6) Red Hulk (6) Sasquatch (6) Thanos
Rush stones, tech beast/Mind = free 6 stones, don't play thanos everytime, sasquatch cull and Hulk are the backups winning lane Always keep the power stone in you're hand, if enemy killmonger you're fine because this deck can rely ok stones but he actually wins without them
@@dytron7712 Not a big fan of mockingbird in this deck so i rely on Cull ans Sash but yeah idk what can be the substitute, maybe another 4 with big power to replace Sash. I generaly play him for 4-3 energy cost
Alex , the spectrum Thnos List is Missing Captain America, i am dissappint , Cap in one lane with two ongoing stones plus spectrum on 6 is good points .
Thanos is a card I have never been able to get my head around. Can never figure out what to do with the stones. May give one of these a shot at some point as I'm stuck in 70s at the moment and can't seem to get moving again
Thanos is easiest to try right now because they made the goal to actually play thanos after playing all 6 stones since he becomes 20 power and invulnerable. Stones to draw, and reality stone is situational.
Dw arishem is still good. The chances of you drawing Loki used to be ~19% but with the extra 3 cards that percent only decreases to ~17%, basically the same
@@mydreaminorbit9297no need to buff mobius, if mockingbird and other value discount cards take over the meta, mobius will slowly start getting slotted into tech slots to counter meta
they played around reality stone changing the location. Ironically, if Alex had just played the Ajax + Reality Stone he still beat the Red Hulk barring any major location RNG

Yeah every other 6 cost 10 power cards are so good, and the stones don't feel very good to play most of the time
Thanos clogging your opening hand still feels bad. If they want the deck to be about actually playing the Thanos card, an idea I had is if they take away the start in hand thing and make the space stone draw Thanos, which would make sense thematically since it can make him appear through a portal
And if you already have Thanos in hand it could just draw another card
@@Rkm0504good idea honestly
That's a great idea
@Rkm0504 it still bugs me that he gets pigged even when he can't even destroyed or discarded.

Let's gooo Thanos is back for a week before another round of the most unhinged nerfs ever
Well we'll see if he's REALLY back.
He's not that strong because of the power creep since he was relevant. He is better but lower top tier imo.
Then again I don't have marvel boy......

love the Spectrum list. Nice!

“Who’s playing Nocturne?”
Me because a measly -1 in power doesn’t really hurt it.
Spider-Ham has entered the chat
I have been playing big guys thanos without lockjaw and believe me it is more consistant and less awkward
Alex "whose playing nocturne??!!"
Some of us just got her BEFORE the nerf ALEX
Awsome attempt on establishing a black order deck love to see it needs more MAW tho 😂
It was so bad lmaoooo
14:41 LOOOL. That’s so funny bruh. They lost themselves the game 😅
Let’s go! Thanks for another great video 🎉
what is he using to show the opponent's deck being tracked?
i need help, i cant decide between thanos and arishem. im scared arishem i would get bored playing arishem
Best subs for Iron Lad, Marvel Boy and Howard in the Thanos Ongoing deck?
a different deck
Shangchi, Super Skrull, Cull Obsidan
I don’t have mockingbird so pointless me trying to play any thanos lol love your videos Alex , keep up the good work 👍
They killed ken.... Mockingbird! You bastards!
i don’t feel as bad about getting cull and thanos from that july cache instead of copycat anymore
Is USAgent worth the tokens?

@@AlexanderCoccia apology accepted. Keep being awesome. Stick to real words. 👊
Ahahaha I'll try 🤣
He should be great its thanos man...
Sasquash and Cull still better options then Mockinbird
Agatha still isn’t working in leagues. Last leagues I reached out to support twice and they confirmed she should be getting points. Just a bummer lol
If Gilgamesh gets nerfed i think Thanos Zoo will be the better zoo deck.

Always keep the power stone in you're hand, if enemy killmonger you're fine because this deck can rely ok stones but he actually wins without them
Always 2 stones each location or 2-3-1, think of the space you need everytime to end a location with a big 10 early

Just start playing him. You need experience with him to be good with him
The stones used to be a lot better.

The Stones and thanos are just so weak and boring in what they do now I'm pretty sure regular zoo is always better than thanos zoo.
I love saving tokens for arishem skipping thanos in the token shop then arishem gets nerfed and thanos gets buffed
Dw arishem is still good. The chances of you drawing Loki used to be ~19% but with the extra 3 cards that percent only decreases to ~17%, basically the same
Arishem is still waaaaayyyyy better than Thanos
Mockingbird everywhere its getting real boring
Agreed. Cassandra Nova can take a hike as well. I save shant chi AND shadow king for turn 6 for all dem fawkers

Don't even think Thanos is playable without Mockingbird, tbh
Well shit don't have marvel boy
But for how long is he "back" (playable)? Answer: until the incompetent schizophrenic devs nerf him for the hundredth time. Ridiculous.
