Followed you from Cozy’s channel. So glad I got into the game when I did, but can’t wait to see what they do upgrading the Spotlight Cache. Currently at 2188 after 3.25 months of play. I do think they should have given everyone who had passed 4 Spotlights already the 4 behind it or something like that.
It's not yolked, Alex lol. It's yoked like the thing you put on an animal to help pull a plow. I would guess it comes from that, like it looks like you have been pulling a plow because you're so ripped.
Just wanted to say thanks Alex for turning me on to the best deck; Sera Surfer. I went from low omega to infinite overnight and it's still performing well many ranks in. Rogue, killmonger, and shadow wreck. I love the control with invisible woman.
Nice to see Valkyrie getting some recognition 😊 I have her in almost all of my decks, she isn't a card I play every game but is wins a location against anything that isn't ongoing. Valk can kick the but of move, shuri, destroy, on reveal, discard,... The cherry on top of the cake is that Artgerm variant, the best in the game imo
I recently started playing a list after seeing a cool card interaction over on Drewberry's channel. Patriot Suaron Iron Lad Silver Surfer. If patriot gets Sauron'd while i. Your deck you could get a second chance for the buff with Iron Patriot if you are good at top decking 😁
I've been playing an Ongoing list that just keeps finding ways to win in Conquest. It has answers for a lot of the meta decks rn and it gives you the option of going tall and wide. Without further ado, I present Howong the Duck: Howard the Duck: First of all, Howard lovers rejoice! Team Cozy all the way! He synergies well with Iron Lad and provides a cheap target for Spectrum. With a Wong and Mystique high roll you can even get him up to a 1/10 which is nuts. Luke Cage: Pretty much just a High Evo tech but also nice to have with all the negative locations. Cheap Spectrum target. Zabu: With Darkhawk, Wong, Rockslide, and Iron Lad in the deck, no explanation necessary. Cheap Spectrum target. Mystique: Nice to play after Wong or Darkhawk. Strong if you play her after Iron Man. Super duper nuts if Iron Lad copies Iron Man on turn 3. Then you play Mystique Turn 4, Iron Man turn 5 and hit them all with Spectrum turn 6. Wave: She serves two purposes. Nice tech card against Bounce but also this deck is pretty expensive and sometimes you draw nothing but 4, 5, and 6 cost cards. Wave lets you cheat out Iron Man on turn 4 so that you can make up ground on turn 5. Darkhawk: Self explanatory. Another strong Iron Lad target. Wong: Wong is my baby. He's always been my favorite card in the game. In this deck he can get you out of jams with Doctor Doom alone. If you can get enough Ongoing cards down he's killer with Spectrum. Rock Slide: Self explanatory. Not the worst Iron Lad target. Iron Lad: The engine of the whole deck. He unlocks the overwhelming stats. Iron Man: Any way I can squeeze Iron Man into a deck, I'm doing it, baby. Doctor Doom: Perfect to get around Spider-Man and Storm. Spectrum: Also perfect for getting around Spider-Man and Professor X. A lot of times you can leave Zabu and Howard in one lane and have a sudden burst of power there at the end of the game. Overall, super strong deck that provides a lot of different ways to win and is fun to play. I'd say the biggest counter is probably Magneto because so many of the key pieces are 3 and 4 cost but if you learn how to fill out your lanes you can protect against him. Highly encourage you guys checking it out!
I made it to infinite in May, June and July playing variations of a homebrew deck that utilizes zero series 4 or 5 cards and that I later found out you posted a video about back in April, so I thought you might appreciate this. The core cards in my take on the deck have been these since May: Zero Armor Invisible Woman Luke Cage Attuma Typhoid Mary Captain Marvel Then I fill it out with some sort of synergistic package consisting of five of the following cards: Ebony Maw Titania Lizard Zabu Killmonger Maximus Shang-Chi Enchantress Sauron
Yoke is the word for the thing that attaches horses or cattle to the front of a carriage or plow, hence animals that are “yoked” are incredibly strong and capable of pulling a large amount of weight, which I imagine is where the term came from. Could be wrong tho
Hiya, recent subscriber and watcher of your half of the podcast. Enjoyed it, wanted to mention that I've been subcribed to Cozy and watching the Snapchat for many weeks now, and didn't realise your part of the podcast was all new content. The way it's spoken about and phrased made me think it was the same, but had some bonus moments in it so I never bothered until recently. Which is then what made me subscribe. I imagine I'm not the only one and just wanted to give a heads up, and hope your section can get more love ♡
Yoked is reference to an actual yoke, which links two components together and is typically very dense and resilient. It’s first usage was describing the muscle between traps and delts pulling it all together into one, like a yoke. The look is only achieved through physical output, so being yoked meant you had put in consistent physical work.
For the F2P destroy deck if you don’t have Knull I recommend Taskmaster if you have him. With the reduced cost of death you can get some really nice turn 6 plays that can dodge Shang Chi because it’s two lanes
Sera Control has been and still continues to be my F2P workhorse, even without Hit Monkey. I replaced Sentinel with Invisible Woman to get a slight edge against bounce and some other decks by putting the appropriate counter cards underneath to force myself to strike at the right time without priority concerns. Hope to one day get hit monkey through a cache opening spree. I got Silver Surfer randomly through my Collector's Reserves recently, so I'm looking at trying out that archetype soon. Sadly, I'm missing some of the fun cards I see you playing with such as Juggernaut, Maximus, and Brood, so I might consider starting to work on that with my upcoming monthly free picks.
My number one favorite surprise card is Orka, you’d be amazed how often I drop Mr Fantastic in the middle, Prof X or Spider-Man in one lane to win, and then drop Orka in my empty lane and put up 18 points out of nowhere. It seems as if no one is ever expecting him. It’s the best.
If you really want to go into crazy loco land, giving Spectrum an Ongoing ability to go along with her On Reveal could be interesting. It would make the Mystique change fit more and it means you could chain it more effectively by doing things like Magik on 5 > Spectrum on 6 > Mystique and Absorbing Man on 7. Crazy, yes, but it's one lever they could pull.
Worth mentioning that Super Skrull also doesn’t express the animations of its target cards like Wong or Armor. Often causing your opponent to whiff a Shun Chi or goblin to his lane.
Just got into Marvel Snap. It’s really fun until I hit the higher ranks and everyone has insane cards. I’m trying to catch up but I don’t even have kitty pride. What I like about the game is that I don’t need all the best cards to get far. I hit rank 85 on just pool 3 cards and a couple series 4. Great video and thank you!
Spectrum just needs a power buff to 8 power to match Odin. Changing her to a +3 power is too much because you have ongoing cards at 1/2 cost that would just be way too high value.
I use spectrum with wong and it buffs my other ongoing cards (antman, luke cage, cpt america, lizard, etc...) quite nicely. Probably not the optimal play but I'm still rather new to the game.
It’s not that bad to make you wanna quit is it?? A game like clash royale took me many months until I decided to quit and one bad system is making everyone wanna quit marvel snap?!?!
6/2 spectrum with plus 3 could also be kinda cracked in a zabu negative style build as well. Darkhawk, ironman, mystique (when she copies) could all be very cheap and then you throw down a 2/6 spectrum that gives plus three to your cheap ongoings.
Clog needs some more cards for sure. I run against them all the time, and they rarely are able to disrupt me and put out more power at the end of the game. Maybe there needs to be an Armor equivalent that prevents cards from being bounced as well. Maybe make rocks unable to be destroyed.
I agree so hard with Alex about ShangChi. How do people not expect it or am I just paranoid? I never play into Gama Lab because I just expect my Hulks to get Shang Chi'd and my opponents Knull to go up
I actually got to Infinite this season with Discard. Went from 73 to 92 with Mr. Negative and then made the rest of the climb with a standard discard deck. I swapped Sunspot for Spider Ham and Hellcow for Iron Lad. I dont use storm
As a mostly-FTP player (buying the season pass only) I just got to infinite for the first time this season, primarily playing a Silver Surfer list that I tweaked based on looking at your meta deck guides Alex, so thanks for all the help you provide 🫡
Shadow King is a surprise....... it's a surprise when people try to use it on my Dino or darkhawk and I end up winning that lane anyway. Crazy how many people have tried to play it on my ongoing cards
I am playing since 2 moths, CL 1500, bought recent 2 season pass. Never missed a daily mission, min maxing gold tokens and spotlight. I missing at least 2 (important) card from every deck you showed... Deck1:Mary, Red Skull Deck2: Sera, Kitty Mysterio, Sera Deck3: Patriot, Iron lad Deck4: Venom, Knull Deck5: Zabu, Quinjet Deck6:Silver surfer, Deck u mentioned: Hawk, Hight Evo I dont think I am doing anything wrong, maxing out conquest shop as well. Altho since the patch I am opened 1 new card from my last 10 CL chest... others was 4 title 2 variant, and credits? How long do you think a new player need to stick around to build even1 deck before quitting, when in every gold conquest getting shited on and you obviously see you cold have won if you would have that key piece. It would be great if we could hand pick at least 1 starter deck. 1 deck where I have everything and can grind my whole collection with, without feel like my skill wont matter when my deck just dont work to their fullest.
"Shang-Chi shouldn't be a surprise." Yeah...I took that mentality too far and turn 6 snapped someone who would have gotten blown out by Shang-Chi and they stayed in. The only reason they didn't lose 8 cubes of that Conquest match was the fact that...I was bluffing it. But that moment made me think of how often I don't snap because I feel like my opponent would just instantly leave, and I'd rather win more by slow playing the Shang that they might be willing to stay in for. It was such an obvious card after I dropped Sera on turn 5, that I just don't know how any smart player would just call down an 8-cuber in that situation instead of retreating for 2.
One deck archetype that could use some love is traditional Kazoo. They really need something to deal with all the powercreep and how overused Killmonger is
That would probably be too good but that would work perfect if they changed Fisk Tower to turn 6 only. Would make Rhino even more irrelevant than he already is, but he could use a rework imo
The location control would be too much, but with that said, I have no idea why Kingpin doesn't just do what Fisk tower does. I do not think he would be broken if he could destroy any card that moved on his territory at any turn.
atlast after so many comments of me mentioning how almost all meta decks have some sort of season pass card we finally got a discussion about f2p decks..
Fyi alex im free to play i only buy the season pass and i own every card except the last 8 new cards and some i passed on like snow guy or what ever that card does but i do not have iron lad or what ever but i have spider ham i have jeff i have spiderman 2099 i have most cards not all but most and im gappy with whats going on but not happy about the new season caches but ill take what i can get love ya alex also cozy love ya ur both my absolute favorite youtubers atm congradz on 37 eps
Thank you so much for defending Discard from the Spider-Ham menace! I hope Cozy is right that the new tools will boost it up (I'm saving ALL my spotlights for next month) but he's dead wrong that the deck is playable right now, at least on Conquest the prevalence of Ham which always hits Apoc, MODOK, or Drac makes it absolutely unplayable. In general I'm starting to find my biggest issue with this game is Second Dinner's incredibly casual attitude towards matchups that are decided before the game starts. It's okay on ladder so long as there's some variety because you can just retreat and snap on a better matchup later. But conquest exacerbates the issue so bad, variety in the mode is kneecapped by the fact that you need to win every matchup for 5 games straight. It's impossible to build any off-meta deck that can handle a Spider-Ham one game, then Cosmo, then Shang Chi, etc. They need to let you change out a single card in between individual conquest games so there's more to the mode than "don't queue into your bad matchups"
I want to try making a deck where Mr. Sinister is the boss of the deck just cause he's my favorite character in marvel. I was actually thinking of a Shuri list with Me. Sinister would work well.
I've been playing for months and put money into season passes and bundles, I'm still missing a card from each of your free to play decks 😅 Completing pool 3 is a pain, I'm all the way to 3079 on the progress track but still missing pool 3 cards.
I’m not trying to start arguments or disapprove of this feature being bad because it certainly needs improvements. Actually let me start with the improvements they should make. They need to add more tokens to the normal caches again and the same goes for gold They should remove the random series 4 or 5 card from the spotlight cache (this prevents players from getting bad variants they don’t want from getting a card they already had) Now with the random series 4 or 5 card gone that saves 33.3% for everything else. They should keep the new card and instead of other cards they should add special variants for series 1 and 2 cards or even series 3 cards. This would be better because that would mean that most players already have these cards and get get special variants from them. Unless you guys are fine with other free cards being in there Spotlight caches can introduce the new card (33.3%), 500 gold (33.3%), or 1000 tokens (33.3%) if you guys think that would be better Please give me feedback Now onto what else I have to say. Although I understand that must don’t like this update it shouldn’t be enough to make people want to leave. Remember, we just got an amazing conquest mode in the update prior to this one and they made changes to that because they listen to community feedback. I believe that they will change this feature because like I said they listen to the community. Compared to many other games marvel snap is one of the only games ik where the devs actually care about us. I love this game and I want the best for it but it shouldn’t be enough to make me want to quit the game. That’s just me tho. Please guys help me understand your thoughts instead of arguing
I'd love if they buffed Spectrum but tbh a lot of people undervalue here because they insist on playing Lockjaw Thanos which forces you into a super limited deck and where Spectrum feels terrible.
Hot take, Iron Man isn't just a top surprise card, I think he is a Top 10 card in the game. With Bast alone it skyrockets him or with Mr Negative if you get his Negative version it is a guaranteed win. I have been winning a lot lately with Mr Negative and Iron man is the main reason.
Bout to carve on some Opal while I watch the rest, but I just wanted to get in a comment. The worst part about the Spotlight Cache is that most players will only get 1 of the spotlight caches a cycle. Hence new players get rewarded and existing players get punished cuz they can't expect not to get the new card or the one they want first. Like how you got Jean Grey second Cozy and I got Knull first which I already had. So now I won't get the other two since no way am I grinding out the next one or paying money for this crap system. I have bought every season so far though, paying players like us deserve more!!! They should guarantee the first card be the new card for players who own both of the others. Rewarding dedication......then they take away affordable token Tuesday / dropped token rewards to 50 a pop....etc etc etc. Further screwing your average player. Spotlight caches again punish existing dedicated players like us and reward new players whom haven't put in the work we have!!!! Speaking as a Infinite 7k CL player myself thanks to you and Snapster.....
Sera is an overrated play in Surfer. You give up the entire turn 5 from playing another 3 drop to play one extra on turn 6 for zero net gain but 4 power that can’t be boosted by Surfer. Instead you could play a 3 drop from the toolkit with another 2 drop which there’s plenty that fit in great.
Rip me. I dont have sera, surfer, venom, silver surfer or high evo, zabu, quinjet, Nick fury, redskull or typhoid so I can't play any of these decks LOL
The push up bra comment is comment of the year. I say you two need to have a snap competition where the loser has to do some kind of physical activity. That would be solid

What makes Rogue so bad is that her card animation swoops in and goes back to her side. You really feel violated lol
Really loving how comfortable you guys are with each other now that you can start each show with casual banter beforehand.
Followed you from Cozy’s channel. So glad I got into the game when I did, but can’t wait to see what they do upgrading the Spotlight Cache. Currently at 2188 after 3.25 months of play. I do think they should have given everyone who had passed 4 Spotlights already the 4 behind it or something like that.
19:34 that's actually partly where "Nic Cage" comes from, it's a stage name.
When I'm busy and can't keep up with every vid these are always the best way to catch-up on the world of snap
the bromance is the best thing about this pod 😂
It's not yolked, Alex lol. It's yoked like the thing you put on an animal to help pull a plow. I would guess it comes from that, like it looks like you have been pulling a plow because you're so ripped.
Beat me to it.
Just wanted to say thanks Alex for turning me on to the best deck; Sera Surfer.
I went from low omega to infinite overnight and it's still performing well many ranks in.
Rogue, killmonger, and shadow wreck. I love the control with invisible woman.
Nice to see Valkyrie getting some recognition 😊
I have her in almost all of my decks, she isn't a card I play every game but is wins a location against anything that isn't ongoing.
Valk can kick the but of move, shuri, destroy, on reveal, discard,...
The cherry on top of the cake is that Artgerm variant, the best in the game imo
I recently started playing a list after seeing a cool card interaction over on Drewberry's channel. Patriot Suaron Iron Lad Silver Surfer. If patriot gets Sauron'd while i. Your deck you could get a second chance for the buff with Iron Patriot if you are good at top decking 😁
I've been playing an Ongoing list that just keeps finding ways to win in Conquest. It has answers for a lot of the meta decks rn and it gives you the option of going tall and wide. Without further ado, I present Howong the Duck:
Howard the Duck: First of all, Howard lovers rejoice! Team Cozy all the way! He synergies well with Iron Lad and provides a cheap target for Spectrum. With a Wong and Mystique high roll you can even get him up to a 1/10 which is nuts.
Luke Cage: Pretty much just a High Evo tech but also nice to have with all the negative locations. Cheap Spectrum target.
Zabu: With Darkhawk, Wong, Rockslide, and Iron Lad in the deck, no explanation necessary. Cheap Spectrum target.
Mystique: Nice to play after Wong or Darkhawk. Strong if you play her after Iron Man. Super duper nuts if Iron Lad copies Iron Man on turn 3. Then you play Mystique Turn 4, Iron Man turn 5 and hit them all with Spectrum turn 6.
Wave: She serves two purposes. Nice tech card against Bounce but also this deck is pretty expensive and sometimes you draw nothing but 4, 5, and 6 cost cards. Wave lets you cheat out Iron Man on turn 4 so that you can make up ground on turn 5.
Darkhawk: Self explanatory. Another strong Iron Lad target.
Wong: Wong is my baby. He's always been my favorite card in the game. In this deck he can get you out of jams with Doctor Doom alone. If you can get enough Ongoing cards down he's killer with Spectrum.
Rock Slide: Self explanatory. Not the worst Iron Lad target.
Iron Lad: The engine of the whole deck. He unlocks the overwhelming stats.
Iron Man: Any way I can squeeze Iron Man into a deck, I'm doing it, baby.
Doctor Doom: Perfect to get around Spider-Man and Storm.
Spectrum: Also perfect for getting around Spider-Man and Professor X. A lot of times you can leave Zabu and Howard in one lane and have a sudden burst of power there at the end of the game.
Overall, super strong deck that provides a lot of different ways to win and is fun to play. I'd say the biggest counter is probably Magneto because so many of the key pieces are 3 and 4 cost but if you learn how to fill out your lanes you can protect against him. Highly encourage you guys checking it out!

Zero
Armor
Invisible Woman
Luke Cage
Attuma
Typhoid Mary
Captain Marvel
Then I fill it out with some sort of synergistic package consisting of five of the following cards:
Ebony Maw
Titania
Lizard
Zabu
Killmonger
Maximus
Shang-Chi
Enchantress
Sauron
Yoke is the word for the thing that attaches horses or cattle to the front of a carriage or plow, hence animals that are “yoked” are incredibly strong and capable of pulling a large amount of weight, which I imagine is where the term came from. Could be wrong tho
The more you know 💫
Not even remotely right lmfao. Bodybuilder eat tons of egg yolks, they’re buff, hence yolked. Jfc

Once again excited to listen to the snap chat x)
49:11 you can see the emotional damage on Cozy's face as he knows he can not prevent the inevitable.
Yoked is reference to an actual yoke, which links two components together and is typically very dense and resilient.

For the F2P destroy deck if you don’t have Knull I recommend Taskmaster if you have him. With the reduced cost of death you can get some really nice turn 6 plays that can dodge Shang Chi because it’s two lanes
Klaw gotta be one of my most hated cards purely because of the amount of times I lost to that card going through pools 1 and 2
Alex, you're an incredible personality.
Sera Control has been and still continues to be my F2P workhorse, even without Hit Monkey. I replaced Sentinel with Invisible Woman to get a slight edge against bounce and some other decks by putting the appropriate counter cards underneath to force myself to strike at the right time without priority concerns. Hope to one day get hit monkey through a cache opening spree.

Crazy, yes, but it's one lever they could pull.
Killmonger and Shang-Chi gotta be my most hated cards in Snap. Can't play zoo and can't go tall, feelsbadman :(
I’m def coming around to Surfer again. But there are so many options. How about your top 5 Surfer decks? Or even just a deck guide to your favorite?
Worth mentioning that Super Skrull also doesn’t express the animations of its target cards like Wong or Armor. Often causing your opponent to whiff a Shun Chi or goblin to his lane.
these kinds of videos are super helpful. Maybe the next iteration you could give some replacement ideas for non core cards.
Just got into Marvel Snap. It’s really fun until I hit the higher ranks and everyone has insane cards. I’m trying to catch up but I don’t even have kitty pride. What I like about the game is that I don’t need all the best cards to get far. I hit rank 85 on just pool 3 cards and a couple series 4. Great video and thank you!
Welcome to Marvel Snap (and the channel)!!
Spectrum definitely needs some ability or cost love because it doesn’t make sense she gives +2 at 6 cost compared to Surfer giving +2 at 3 cost.
Spectrum just needs a power buff to 8 power to match Odin. Changing her to a +3 power is too much because you have ongoing cards at 1/2 cost that would just be way too high value.
For junk decks, add a 4-6 cost card, that adds power per card added to their side
I use spectrum with wong and it buffs my other ongoing cards (antman, luke cage, cpt america, lizard, etc...) quite nicely. Probably not the optimal play but I'm still rather new to the game.
I always enjoy all of your content you guys! Keep up the amazing job 🎉🎉🎉🎉
New spotlight system makes me want to stop playing but you two always keep me going.
It’s not that bad to make you wanna quit is it?? A game like clash royale took me many months until I decided to quit and one bad system is making everyone wanna quit marvel snap?!?!
Especially since marvel snap actually listens to the community compared to many other games
I'm playing a lot of Destroy now because I was so fed up with coming across it and i LOVE using Arnim Zola on Venom, I feel like it's such a surprise.
Haha I genuinely love Alex's repetition. If Alex was a card he would be a 3 drop
Captain America, dazzler, and Gambit in the surfer deck also works.
6/2 spectrum with plus 3 could also be kinda cracked in a zabu negative style build as well. Darkhawk, ironman, mystique (when she copies) could all be very cheap and then you throw down a 2/6 spectrum that gives plus three to your cheap ongoings.
Thanks a million Alex and Cozy for highlighting and calling out exactly what is wrong with the new system. Huge huge kudos to you guys for that 💪
Shadowking just won me a game against hazmat. It restored my power and allowed surfer to win the game for me!
Clog needs some more cards for sure. I run against them all the time, and they rarely are able to disrupt me and put out more power at the end of the game. Maybe there needs to be an Armor equivalent that prevents cards from being bounced as well. Maybe make rocks unable to be destroyed.
I did Alex's challenge of a drink for every time he said "Silver Surfer" and my gosh is the afterlife beautiful!
I agree so hard with Alex about ShangChi. How do people not expect it or am I just paranoid? I never play into Gama Lab because I just expect my Hulks to get Shang Chi'd and my opponents Knull to go up
I use yondu, scarlet witch, mystique, hela, Wong, onslaught, gambit, white tiger, and ghost rider for one of my decks
Enjoyed this fun episode.
That Valk/Zola combo sounds spicy!
I actually got to Infinite this season with Discard. Went from 73 to 92 with Mr. Negative and then made the rest of the climb with a standard discard deck. I swapped Sunspot for Spider Ham and Hellcow for Iron Lad. I dont use storm
Surfer skull patriot was my deck for a hot minute. So many win conditions
As a mostly-FTP player (buying the season pass only) I just got to infinite for the first time this season, primarily playing a Silver Surfer list that I tweaked based on looking at your meta deck guides Alex, so thanks for all the help you provide 🫡
Took agents of shield with dino and maria from 73-100. Deck is so versatile and fun. Would recommend 👌
Shadow King is a surprise....... it's a surprise when people try to use it on my Dino or darkhawk and I end up winning that lane anyway. Crazy how many people have tried to play it on my ongoing cards
Why is "ALL" capitalized in Valkyrie and not Shadow King??? Hmmmm..
I am playing since 2 moths, CL 1500, bought recent 2 season pass. Never missed a daily mission, min maxing gold tokens and spotlight. I missing at least 2 (important) card from every deck you showed...
Deck1:Mary, Red Skull
Deck2: Sera, Kitty Mysterio, Sera
Deck3: Patriot, Iron lad
Deck4: Venom, Knull
Deck5: Zabu, Quinjet
Deck6:Silver surfer,
Deck u mentioned: Hawk, Hight Evo
I dont think I am doing anything wrong, maxing out conquest shop as well.
Altho since the patch I am opened 1 new card from my last 10 CL chest... others was 4 title 2 variant, and credits?
How long do you think a new player need to stick around to build even1 deck before quitting, when in every gold conquest getting shited on and you obviously see you cold have won if you would have that key piece.
It would be great if we could hand pick at least 1 starter deck. 1 deck where I have everything and can grind my whole collection with, without feel like my skill wont matter when my deck just dont work to their fullest.
Cozy has been looking buff lately 💪
is very circunstancial but you can also throw onslaught on power stone to have a super thanos
"Shang-Chi shouldn't be a surprise." Yeah...I took that mentality too far and turn 6 snapped someone who would have gotten blown out by Shang-Chi and they stayed in. The only reason they didn't lose 8 cubes of that Conquest match was the fact that...I was bluffing it.
But that moment made me think of how often I don't snap because I feel like my opponent would just instantly leave, and I'd rather win more by slow playing the Shang that they might be willing to stay in for. It was such an obvious card after I dropped Sera on turn 5, that I just don't know how any smart player would just call down an 8-cuber in that situation instead of retreating for 2.
One deck archetype that could use some love is traditional Kazoo. They really need something to deal with all the powercreep and how overused Killmonger is
What if they changed kingpin to just change the location to fisk tower?
That would probably be too good but that would work perfect if they changed Fisk Tower to turn 6 only. Would make Rhino even more irrelevant than he already is, but he could use a rework imo
The location control would be too much, but with that said, I have no idea why Kingpin doesn't just do what Fisk tower does. I do not think he would be broken if he could destroy any card that moved on his territory at any turn.
He used too and SD thought it was too powerful
atlast after so many comments of me mentioning how almost all meta decks have some sort of season pass card we finally got a discussion about f2p decks..
I'm still waiting to get shuri 😔
Fyi alex im free to play i only buy the season pass and i own every card except the last 8 new cards and some i passed on like snow guy or what ever that card does but i do not have iron lad or what ever but i have spider ham i have jeff i have spiderman 2099 i have most cards not all but most and im gappy with whats going on but not happy about the new season caches but ill take what i can get love ya alex also cozy love ya ur both my absolute favorite youtubers atm congradz on 37 eps
Shadow King is my GOAT right now in Silver Surfer.
Weirdly enough I got high evo instead out of my first cache. I was hoping for knull and definitely didn’t expect evo
Thank you so much for defending Discard from the Spider-Ham menace! I hope Cozy is right that the new tools will boost it up (I'm saving ALL my spotlights for next month) but he's dead wrong that the deck is playable right now, at least on Conquest the prevalence of Ham which always hits Apoc, MODOK, or Drac makes it absolutely unplayable.
In general I'm starting to find my biggest issue with this game is Second Dinner's incredibly casual attitude towards matchups that are decided before the game starts. It's okay on ladder so long as there's some variety because you can just retreat and snap on a better matchup later. But conquest exacerbates the issue so bad, variety in the mode is kneecapped by the fact that you need to win every matchup for 5 games straight. It's impossible to build any off-meta deck that can handle a Spider-Ham one game, then Cosmo, then Shang Chi, etc. They need to let you change out a single card in between individual conquest games so there's more to the mode than "don't queue into your bad matchups"
Try running Infinaut in your discard lists for Dracula and Spider-Ham protection.
Spider-Ham is a menace tho
I want to try making a deck where Mr. Sinister is the boss of the deck just cause he's my favorite character in marvel. I was actually thinking of a Shuri list with Me. Sinister would work well.
I'm collection level 3000+ and i just claimed Taskmaster last week from the free series 3
I've been playing for months and put money into season passes and bundles, I'm still missing a card from each of your free to play decks 😅
Completing pool 3 is a pain, I'm all the way to 3079 on the progress track but still missing pool 3 cards.
I love you guys. Truly. I look forward to this every week.
But how DARE you suggest boosting a Clog meta 😅
The opening conversation 😅😅😅
I love using galactus as a surprise card when I get him on Nick Fury
As a free to play player, surfer decks are not free to play friendly. Surfer is still in series 4 I believe. I still don't have him.
I’m not trying to start arguments or disapprove of this feature being bad because it certainly needs improvements. Actually let me start with the improvements they should make.
They need to add more tokens to the normal caches again and the same goes for gold
They should remove the random series 4 or 5 card from the spotlight cache (this prevents players from getting bad variants they don’t want from getting a card they already had)
Now with the random series 4 or 5 card gone that saves 33.3% for everything else. They should keep the new card and instead of other cards they should add special variants for series 1 and 2 cards or even series 3 cards. This would be better because that would mean that most players already have these cards and get get special variants from them. Unless you guys are fine with other free cards being in there
Spotlight caches can introduce the new card (33.3%), 500 gold (33.3%), or 1000 tokens (33.3%) if you guys think that would be better
Please give me feedback
Now onto what else I have to say. Although I understand that must don’t like this update it shouldn’t be enough to make people want to leave. Remember, we just got an amazing conquest mode in the update prior to this one and they made changes to that because they listen to community feedback. I believe that they will change this feature because like I said they listen to the community. Compared to many other games marvel snap is one of the only games ik where the devs actually care about us. I love this game and I want the best for it but it shouldn’t be enough to make me want to quit the game. That’s just me tho. Please guys help me understand your thoughts instead of arguing
I can verify, people don't do math. I won a few unmathed games recently. It's crazy
On my Infinity game i beat shuri redskull. The same as my first time hitting Infinite..lol
I almost dont wanna say it but i run Galactus in my thanos destroy, he wins by surprise so much
How did you do a section about archetypes that need help not bring up cerebro 😢
Invisible woman & Quake should have definitely be included!
If ur a surfer player maybe try Juggernaut out with kingpin & surfer . It’s surprising on turn 6
Obvs u need to play sera turn 5
A cool thing for clog would be a 6 cost power with even 0 power that give -1 to all enemy cards, than all those Stones and Goblins would have a sense
So just worse Luke cage hazmat
@paulakroy2635 you're rights, what about a ultron like effect were he give cards with -1 power?
The Oscar Mayer weenie☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂
I'd love if they buffed Spectrum but tbh a lot of people undervalue here because they insist on playing Lockjaw Thanos which forces you into a super limited deck and where Spectrum feels terrible.
Doctor Octopus has to be in the Top 10 in my opinion
Hot take, Iron Man isn't just a top surprise card, I think he is a Top 10 card in the game. With Bast alone it skyrockets him or with Mr Negative if you get his Negative version it is a guaranteed win. I have been winning a lot lately with Mr Negative and Iron man is the main reason.
Mr. Negative isn’t a competive deck
@paulakroy2635 The one I run does pretty well for me, it is like a Negative/ Bounce hybrid.
Bout to carve on some Opal while I watch the rest, but I just wanted to get in a comment. The worst part about the Spotlight Cache is that most players will only get 1 of the spotlight caches a cycle. Hence new players get rewarded and existing players get punished cuz they can't expect not to get the new card or the one they want first. Like how you got Jean Grey second Cozy and I got Knull first which I already had. So now I won't get the other two since no way am I grinding out the next one or paying money for this crap system. I have bought every season so far though, paying players like us deserve more!!! They should guarantee the first card be the new card for players who own both of the others. Rewarding dedication......then they take away affordable token Tuesday / dropped token rewards to 50 a pop....etc etc etc. Further screwing your average player. Spotlight caches again punish existing dedicated players like us and reward new players whom haven't put in the work we have!!!! Speaking as a Infinite 7k CL player myself thanks to you and Snapster.....
Wait a minute…does Alex play Surfer decks?
I feel like Strong Guy needs to be revamped like how they did Crystal cuz I loved that character in the show ,but he’s basically unusable
Spider-Ham does feel oppressive .. I don’t get how people hate Leech but love Spiderham😂
I recommend you play "new account" "free to play" and see how the game plays for new players... and make video's on what new players will experience
10:23 I would put Shang chi over saber tooth but ok
I still don’t have most of those cards in the first F2P deck and I’m almost to 970
The new season pass card with moon girl and mordok or destroy could be fun, shame it's available to ftp players
Warpath in a galactus ramp deck
Sera is an overrated play in Surfer. You give up the entire turn 5 from playing another 3 drop to play one extra on turn 6 for zero net gain but 4 power that can’t be boosted by Surfer. Instead you could play a 3 drop from the toolkit with another 2 drop which there’s plenty that fit in great.
Iron man ult variant looks like Iron bird
I also don’t have Sera
We need more deck slots.
It's messed up how they will probably buff Spectrum when the movie comes out 🙃
Like for Nick Fury
Cant believe they didnt mention morph the best card in marvel sbap all those decks would be bettwr with morph
Rip me. I dont have sera, surfer, venom, silver surfer or high evo, zabu, quinjet, Nick fury, redskull or typhoid so I can't play any of these decks LOL
The push up bra comment is comment of the year. I say you two need to have a snap competition where the loser has to do some kind of physical activity. That would be solid
