Yeah and the answer for them not putting cards due to not having enough variants is odd. Cause every new card does have bundle variants and to that I have to ask, why put them in a bundle instead of on a spotlight cache? Example: the dancing baron zemo variant or basically every zemo variant after his season
I climbed from 85 to infinite in just a few hours with this deck. I had been struggling a bit with the final push, and this list is on another level. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Don’t have Hydra Bob but replaced him with Agony and it’s pretty decent. The high roll ramp with Peni into Galacta on 3 is nice, or putting her on a mover is pretty decent too. Definitely a neat budget replacement.
dang, between Agony, Thena and Zabu, I’m a little unsure which direction to go; Agony seems to be the most consistent to start and then maybe I’ll see if Zabu really helps.
Tip with Penny : You get the +1 energy even if not merged with her Spid3r which is what is worded but still surprised a few coworkers. So Agony on 1 then Penny on 2, let's you Galacta on 3. ( or Wiccan if you go that way )
This is one of the most fun decks I've played since the good old Sera days. And I'm playing a worse version of it since I lack a few cards, but I've still been winning quite a lot of matches, too!
Gwen is back in the shop. I need to wait till either tomorrow, or the 18th to get her though. TBH I want to wait now and see what Doom 2099 does to the meta. Gwenpool decks might get forced out.
None of the random good card piles are required. You just need a critical mass of any number of them to slot in. Having few makes it bad, but you don’t require any specific card.
@@Yagizino she is good, but replaceable. If you have Hope, you really don't need her for the ramp. If you need move cards, tons of those to go around. If you need absorbing cards, we got those plenty
I've been trying to make a Galacta deck with Elsa work. I figured double buffs on good mid range cards like Jeff and Nocturne would be good. Ive had moderate success in top 1000 infinite, but I did lose to this deck specifically, so there's that lol.
I had to unpin Gwen to get Kate. Now just waiting for Gwen to come back around. I did pick up Scarlet Spider in the meantime, however (been such a fun card, I love it) but I'd really like to see Gwenpool soon. I have been playing Namora as another buffer, a long with Galatca, and it's also good (using more of the merge cards, and also scarlet-spidey/shaw, as dudes that can get huge). I can really see the benefit of Gwen right now though, and I'm actually surprised there's no Zabu in this deck? I don't have Hydration Robert, so might slot Zabu. I know you are liking the 1 ramp source, but as I don't have Bob,, It can't be the worst replacement ever, right? I mean I guess we lose that good 1 to drop on 4, which is key to this deck... damn, I wish I had bob. Lol. oh and "W Rizz" in the chat.
I’m not on high infinite but I do stay around top 2000~ and the amount times I fought against this deck is absurd! plus captain marvel as an 8 power move card is nuts
Man I'm in the top 1,000 players right now but I'm like 1000 snap points behind you. The top 100 must play so many games, I feel like I'm playing and winning a lot but getting that many more points is absurd
yeah the gap is very high at the top end. one other thing to consider is a lot of us start higher than you - which is fixable, but more of a long term thing. best advice is just keep grinding and dont think you need to do it all in one month. finish top 1000 one month, then top 750 the next, then 500, etc
@andrewbaker285 You probably need to get better at the game, if you can't reach infinite after 2 years... It's not just about playtime, especially hitting infinite
I have all cards for this deck, but was thinking if Luna can be used for Hope. Meaning you can ramp on 3 also into a 5 power turn 4. Hope on 3 feels always... Weak.
Thena is a fine replacement for Robert here imo. Has been working fine for me, I've also tried a few games of Rocket for last turn and that also felt okay
with SD’s record on announcements/drops etc; there is like, no way one could convince anyone even with resources to buy Bob, because with an announcement already, uh, announced, about a first quarter drop, how can anyone expect to grab a card right now …? Tldr; they really need to tease that drop announcement now, it may even lead to stronger purchase confidence this month 🤷♂️
I went for her but I had 11 keys, it's a little dubious going for her with only 4 keys. There are lots of archetype-defining cards coming out (doom 2099, victoria hand) over the next few weeks so it depends on what you enjoy playing. If you want any of those decks I certainly wouldn't.
She is a strong base line card with super interesting unique text. IMO if you have no specific other build around card you are interested in (Scream, Arishem, Ajax, etc) she is a great pickup.
I leaned into the "playing 4s early is valuable" theme and swapped out Jeff and Hope Summers for Zabu and Luna Snow. With four 4-cost cards in the deck, Zabu felt like a solid inclusion, plus he gives you another chance at Galacta + 1-drop if draws don't quite line up. And since excelerating into our 4 drops is so valuable, I think Luna Snow does a great job at making sure we can do Galacta or Gwen Pool stuff alongside other plays early. Plus, we're already running Red Guardian, so making their Ice Cubes useless can be a great way of one-siding that acceleration!
I know there's a lot of hate for the game at the moment. But as someone who has pretty much all the cards I think the meta is in an amazing place. So many fun ways to play! Move, bounce, kitty, wikkan, negative, surfer, goon knight etc all competitive with a fair bit of variety within each archetype
Red guardian has legit no business being a 3/5, it needs to be a 3/1 base 3/3 counting its effect. The effect it has on brewing when RG is popular is just miserable
I’m not going to say this deck is bad because clearly other people are having a lot of success with it. But boy oh boy I am playing this exact list and getting my ass kicked.
This deck is disgustingly expensive, I’ve been playing for 2 years as a dolphin and missing bob penni and the already 10$ season pass card, I’m done with this game I just can’t AFFORD to play it. Hello marvel rivals.
Can’t say I agree with this deck. Seems to have a bunch of bad matchups and very draw dependent. So yea, theoretically it has the tools to deal with a lot, practically it feels severely lacking. If you don’t draw Galacta the power output is really low and for the tech cards you need to draw the right one for the matchup. To me this deck feels like the worst of both worlds. But then again I went 10 games in a row without seeing Galacta or Peni. Maybe it’s better if you draw the core cards. I‘m switching to something else though.
I think what I want to say: if a deck requires me to draw certain cards at certain turns I expect Mr. Negative levels of output and not „well you lose to half the meta anyway because they go over the top and if you and you didn’t draw Shang Chi“
This deck looks awesome! I can't wait to go try it.... oh wait, I'm missing 3 cards... ... let me just go craft them!... oh wait.... well let me just go open caches to get them.... oh wait.... well let me go buy them.... oh wait....
I wish they would throw Ego in the trash can. I hate that stupid location, I will never Snap when he shows up. He makes the most stupid, uncookinest plays you ever saw when I encounter him and in the 1% of times he actually cooks the opponent is gone real quick so I don’t even get to enjoy the ultra rare Ego cooks for me games. Just delete it already.
@@NinjaToast1026 no, the deck is just ass. It loses to absolutely everything on ladder. It loses to discard, it loses to Arishem, it loses to Surfer. It can't put out enough power against anything without a perfect draw and Peni is frankly fucking useless in it because she doesn't ramp out the 4s early.
@@davidchapman6504She ramps out galacta on 4 with a 1 drop, which is functionally equivalent to playing galacta on 3, since you're getting a boost from galacta on 4 which you otherwise wouldn't get.
@@davidchapman6504after playing the deck i agree the draw has to be perfect in order for it to work has way too much clunky draws when u miss one drops
This is exactly why Hydra Bob should have been nerfed last patch instead of Arishem... And with rocket and groot this deck is going to be the best midrage deck in the game of it isn't already Edit: KM, this is not a jab at you, you have amazing content, this is a jab at SD
SD is dirty leaving hydrabob out of 8 months of spotlights
Also, Gwenpool was never is a cache, Galaacta is actual pay2win pass card. Not to mention Peni who is in a cache with cards who everybody already has.
Yeah and the answer for them not putting cards due to not having enough variants is odd. Cause every new card does have bundle variants and to that I have to ask, why put them in a bundle instead of on a spotlight cache?
Example: the dancing baron zemo variant or basically every zemo variant after his season
Ikr, don't expect the stupid broken cards this month to be put in a cache either because SD wants the power crept cards behind paywalls
U can save 6k tokens in less than 8 months 🤜🤛🏽
@@christiansmith5047Then once he gets it, it may be nerfed soon after and he just wasted 6k
I climbed from 85 to infinite in just a few hours with this deck. I had been struggling a bit with the final push, and this list is on another level. Enjoy it while it lasts.
Don’t have Hydra Bob but replaced him with Agony and it’s pretty decent. The high roll ramp with Peni into Galacta on 3 is nice, or putting her on a mover is pretty decent too. Definitely a neat budget replacement.
Felt that 🤌👾
Good idea! I used rocket but I'll try agony instead
I went with Thena as an additional scaling threat. Working well so far.
I went with Zabu and haven't looked back since. With four 4 drops he gets plenty of value and keeps the consistency when you don't hit the Hope line.
dang, between Agony, Thena and Zabu, I’m a little unsure which direction to go; Agony seems to be the most consistent to start and then maybe I’ll see if Zabu really helps.
These beats are awesome. Each one keeps getting better, then the proper banger kicks in at like 34:21
Tip with Penny : You get the +1 energy even if not merged with her Spid3r which is what is worded but still surprised a few coworkers.
So Agony on 1 then Penny on 2, let's you Galacta on 3. ( or Wiccan if you go that way )
thanks, really enjoying the deck and the new card. Also, loving that Captain Marvel feels playable again thanks to Galacta.
is there a replacement for hydra bob?
This is one of the most fun decks I've played since the good old Sera days. And I'm playing a worse version of it since I lack a few cards, but I've still been winning quite a lot of matches, too!
This deck won me a ton of conquests to farm the rewards, the games were not even close.
Gwen is back in the shop. I need to wait till either tomorrow, or the 18th to get her though. TBH I want to wait now and see what Doom 2099 does to the meta. Gwenpool decks might get forced out.
Peni is gonna be the next annoying ass series 5 card that is requires for most top card pile decks
Nah she’s not that good trust i got her wish i would’ve saved my keys

Hydro Bob + Red Guardian + 10 other cards = KMBest deck of the week 😂
good cards are good
You want him to lie and not put the cards in or what, and make an inferior deck
Miss those days when km only showcased Loki decks every week :(
@@waiting4gIory absolutely. Was just observing, not criticizing
@@mrazable7922 nostalgic at this point. I'm sure we will get another Loki deck soon. Probably with Bob and Red Guardian 😂
Favorite deck of the season - curses for the extra spotlight on it :)

@KMBestInASnap is it not a hard reset each month? The game gives that impression. I didn't realize previous progress carried over
I have played every day for 2 years now and never got near infinite. To be top 1000 must require hours of playtime a day? Top 100 double that?
@andrewbaker285 You probably need to get better at the game, if you can't reach infinite after 2 years... It's not just about playtime, especially hitting infinite
i've watched it so many times and i still think i think i need a SD dev to explain to me what happened with that Lady Deathstrike during the Ego game
I have all cards for this deck, but was thinking if Luna can be used for Hope. Meaning you can ramp on 3 also into a 5 power turn 4. Hope on 3 feels always... Weak.
I took Captain Marvel out for Nocturne and I haven't lost yet. Negative decks are still absolutely everywhere and the Limbo destruction is invaluable.
Some kind of location control is always the 13th card I want in a deck too, and this is probably the best substitution
Another hydra bobby deck, what a surprise
would you choose to get wiccan or bob with tokens?. Unpinned Arishem due to OTA.
i think my answer may change next week - need to see what doom 2099 does
Replacment for Gwenpool and Red Guardian? Can we swap it with Phastos and Cosmo/Echo/Enchantress? Any suggestions please
Literally the only deck I played against in the last hour…
Which should I get first using 6k token? Wiccan or niko minor?
wiccan, nico is not a priority in any deck
What do I replace Peni Parker with since this stupid acquisition system hates giving me new cards?
Just won a gold conquest with this deck and then hopped on UA-cam and this was the first video, ha ha. Great minds think alike, and so do we!
Thena is a fine replacement for Robert here imo. Has been working fine for me, I've also tried a few games of Rocket for last turn and that also felt okay
Nightcrawler is probably also fine!
so, who is the best replacement for hydra bob, he will probably be back in spotlights in like 3 months at least...
Nico Minoru, at least she is often a 1/4.
Which is what Hydra Bob will become, once enough players get him.
Actually Agony
Is Gwenpool replacable in this deck by any chance? Maybe something Klaw or Sera..?
I've been playing this deck and got me to infinite
i’ve found nebula as a good replacement for bob even tho she’s significantly worse if you draw her last turn
with SD’s record on announcements/drops etc; there is like, no way one could convince anyone even with resources to buy Bob, because with an announcement already, uh, announced, about a first quarter drop, how can anyone expect to grab a card right now …?
Tldr; they really need to tease that drop announcement now, it may even lead to stronger purchase confidence this month 🤷♂️
As a Raptors fan I did not appreciate being haunted with a Lebronto sign off...😢
I'm just bummed SD left out Peni Parker's middle initial - since her middle name is "Sarah"
RIP to this deck....creator curse activated
Is Gwenpool worth the tokens?
Not really
I'm tempted to say yes, but she may be in the Q1 series drop...
dont have hydra bob... see you next video!
All I'm missing is penni but I got 2 days to decide, u guys think I should go for it i have 4 keys

im a big fan of her but worried her decks fall apart in the face of doom 2099
She is a strong base line card with super interesting unique text. IMO if you have no specific other build around card you are interested in (Scream, Arishem, Ajax, etc) she is a great pickup.
Tried this deck and got steam rolled :( every penni deck I’ve played has felt so bad goon knight by far has been the best deck for me
Nocturne is a good replacement for Jeff
I leaned into the "playing 4s early is valuable" theme and swapped out Jeff and Hope Summers for Zabu and Luna Snow.
With four 4-cost cards in the deck, Zabu felt like a solid inclusion, plus he gives you another chance at Galacta + 1-drop if draws don't quite line up.

January ota: 4/4 Galacta and cap marvel
1/1 torch. No Bob in caches before ROOT and Iron Patriot is going to make people rightfully enraged tbh
Why does it feel like all the new top decks are just series 5 good stuff slop with no strategy except stack good effects
Red guardian has legit no business being a 3/5, it needs to be a 3/1 base 3/3 counting its effect. The effect it has on brewing when RG is popular is just miserable
Honestly I wouldn't feel bad about it, one of the main reason why I run him anyway atm is because I hate Dracula and Morbius in discard rn
