22:56 I don't think that's a conspiracy theory though. In one of the QnA, Glenn Jones did mentioned that they tweaked location occurrence based on currently reigning meta to tempered the meta down.
I will always watch a Lockdown video. It's my favorite archetype... but that being said, even if Alioth works I feel like there are way better turn 6 options. So far I think I still prefer the Orka/Destroyer shell because it can be difficult to overcome the power that is protected by Armor and Cosmo. Cosmo prevents Taskmaster (sometimes Shuri) and lets you play Destroy on that lane, Armor protects against Shang Chi and allows you to Attuma. Alioth kind of can get screwed by Cosmo. I'm sure no doubt, as seen in this video, you can get some crazy denial plays out of Alioth. But I feel like there will be a lot of games where you won't get much use out of Alioths ability because of your own Cosmo lane, and a 6/5 statline is not very good for the purpose of trying to secure a second lane. Definitely seems like a fun card, but I probably wouldn't go broke trying to procure Alioth. Unless you are a fan of Galactus maybe lol.
@ninaisnoob I'm trying this deck and I took your advice and dropped electro for Jessica. It has already paid off! Won a storm lane with an iron lad Jessica copy! I won the game with Alioth, but they didn't angry face my alioth, they angry faced my iron lad!!
Personally really enjoying Alioth - sucks when it hits you against a galactus deck but tbf they've just galactus'd you anyway so likely you were already in a poor position I don't think it requires a change its just everyone is playing it day 1 - I slotted it into Silk and it feels nice when you need to secure a lane but just as often being only 5 power I also find myself not playing it because it can't turn the tide of multiple losing locations. Feels similar to playing around a turn 6 Shang chi or Doctor Doom, just gotta get used to it being in some decks call where they're playing it
My favorite archetype is lockdown and I'm so happy to finally have Jeff and Alioth in my collection! Reached infinite with them this season. My deck has a lot of similar cards but I don't use ramp, my main play on turn 6 is Alioth but I also have Doctor Doom to help Storm even more.
And i'm still playing this 7 turn Living Tribunal based deck and it still works against...everything with the exceptions of some players using brain and Enchantress.
Lol, I have only now mentioned your nickname, I am not in this video, but I have played against you :) I guess that was my first time playing against content creator.
yeah alioth is the biggest joke in snap history "spiderman is so broken it ruins the game, so lets rework him" "lets add alioth who does the same thing as the card that was so broken we had to rework it"
@@ninaisnoob Honestly I don't know. I think I may just need a break. I've been playing every day since January. When the meta is full of Galactus/Lane Control decks absuing Alioth... it's just not fun. Alioth is such a broken card in these decks. If it didn't destroy unrevealed cards then it'd at least be tolerable. But losing all agency just ruins it for me. I just played for about an hour to do my dailies. I did all of them within 10 minutes except for one. Needed 4 match wins. Seems easy right? Nope. Took me the rest of the hour to get the last 2 wins. Between RNG, horrific match ups, opponents knowing exactly what lane to play their frigging Cosmo, and dealing with Galactus/Lane Control decks abusing Alioth, ugh... It's just been a rough night. Ok, enough rambling. Thanks for all that you do Nina :D
That's the only thing that makes him any good. If you scream nerf 2 days after every card comes out, in a game where every card in your limited deck matters, we will be left with a bunch of trash cards, and the doom Shang chi show. Let the meta shape, there's plenty of ways to get power, counter, shutdown. Be creative, cards are going to come out OP more often then not, because people are spending real money to acquire them. If the new cards feel bad, the player base feels bad.
@@renanmakiseDoesn’t matter if he’s balanced. Ham was balanced. It’s just if enough people complain, they will nerf the card. Doesn’t matter if it’s truly balanced or not.
This game in now broken ,…and all what you content creators do for the game is to praise it The game is now pay to win … no new content, just new cards to break the game
I want to see a lockdown tournament where you need to have at least the core lockdown characters and watch Nina compete. It’d be fun
I was today years old when I found out Jeff’s “nothing stops you” also bypasses electro’s effect

but with professor X and storm and cosmo, alioth is a guaranteed win almost anytime you play it on turn 6..
Greetings everyone is sunspot the best replacement for nebula if you don't have her? Same question for a replacement for iron lad?
Any replace for iron land and nebula?
This seems like a more fun way to use Alioth than Galactus
I just got Alioth and tested the deck. I´s insane, thanks!
I swapped electro for the new shadow king and this deck is absolutely tearing it up right now.
oh definitely.... i also feel the same... it does seem like the locations are very much linked to our cards... and sometimes even matchups as well...
@ninaisnoob I'm trying this deck and I took your advice and dropped electro for Jessica. It has already paid off! Won a storm lane with an iron lad Jessica copy! I won the game with Alioth, but they didn't angry face my alioth, they angry faced my iron lad!!
Can you figure out how to display your decks so we can see them?

Reached infinite with them this season.

As a lockdon enjoyer I'm very pleased with Alioth. Love my purple cloud boi
Hey :) What is ur decktracker addon?
why no doctor doom?
What would you sub Iron Lad with?
Dude, that deck is awesome, gonna try it out tonight.
Great content as always! Nice hat :)
Happy Nina is what we like to see
yep you're right. all decks I faced tonight were Alioth or Galactus decks mostly T_T so annoying
Love this deck!
I can honestly say I almost uninstalled. I was so close to hitting infinite but went on a straight losing streak dropping from 98 down to 82.
Ouf that must have hurt 😅 I stopped playing a while ago because it had been 2+months I only faced netdecks, always the same ones too..
💀
I really like the music in this one, honestly the biggest complaint I have about snap is that the music is so mid
Cool video, you made me into this and that I'm am quite drunk at the moment and going to work tomorrow as well😂
I wonder if you'll understand this comment when you're sober lol
If a card makes people want to uninstall the game...is it really a good card? The Wong Gambit Odin in the same lane had the same effect lol
And i'm still playing this 7 turn Living Tribunal based deck and it still works against...everything with the exceptions of some players using brain and Enchantress.
with how popular snowguard is magik is a bit risky
@@ninaisnoob Not only, yesterday my whole big 7 turn play was simply ruined by Scarlet Witch in limbo, so yeah...that happened sometimes XD
I hit infinite this season using HE/Alioth lockdown. Pretty effective.
I'd like to know your win percentage with this deck. If the draw isn't perfect it fails spectacularly.
Lol, I have only now mentioned your nickname, I am not in this video, but I have played against you :) I guess that was my first time playing against content creator.
Is your name “lockdown = noob”? 🤣
@@ninaisnoob no, but I’ve also played against this guy 😂
Problem with lockdown deck is: high win rate but low cube gain
I NEED WAAAAAAAVVVE! Why wont the card acquisition give her to me?!
It's funny that I can defeat this Alioth deck with GhostRider+Blackcat 😊
yeah alioth is the biggest joke in snap history
"spiderman is so broken it ruins the game, so lets rework him"
"lets add alioth who does the same thing as the card that was so broken we had to rework it"
Happy!! 😊😊
Solid deck. But very similar deck with galactus is stronger
This deck is so good
Remember if you see a first name, and white and green cards, it’s a bot
It seems a mistake to run a lockdown deck with wave and yet no goose
Hate Alioth, just makes Galactus even worse.
Galactus one love ❤
lockdownking
my god the forehead is shiiiney
You're not joking. With this garbage and other crap going on in game, I'm ready to quit. It's just not fun anymore.
What would make you keep playing the game? 🥺

@@hollowvoices1268 it’s okay to take a break from the game if you feel burnt out! Hopefully you don’t give up on it completely
Just hit infinite with alioth/galactic ramp
Ew.
@@jamesbarton6107 to be fair I've had him forever and never used till now
@@kalenadams6985 lmao. All good man. I feel you. I did the same when I got galactus. And I’m not at all salty that I opened 2 caches and no Alioth.
@@jamesbarton6107 would it make you feel better knowing I got him 1st case 😅
such a gleeful laugh...
I predict Alioth going to get nerfed to not hit unrevealed.
Nah way to big of a nerf just drop his power to like 2 or 3 if your gonna nerf him which he doesn’t need
That's the only thing that makes him any good.

Alioth is balanced, no change required
@@renanmakiseDoesn’t matter if he’s balanced. Ham was balanced. It’s just if enough people complain, they will nerf the card. Doesn’t matter if it’s truly balanced or not.
@@YUKIISFUNham ruining your biggest card for just 1 cost was not exactly the definition of balanced ahahah
im ngl i hate decks like this im disliking lmaoo
Booo
This game in now broken ,…and all what you content creators do for the game is to praise it
The game is now pay to win … no new content, just new cards to break the game
I think you dropped your pacifier
I watch this and feel sad because I got Howard the duck out of my one cache😢
