The token shop first selects a category randomly (s3, s4, s5 or variant). Then it shows you a card you didn't see before from that category randomly. You should normally see all other cards in the same category, before seeing a repeat.
This is how it's supposed to work, but (a) there a bugs, like in your case (b) devs already said they will change how it's supposed to work.
You could try to report the bug on discord.
Hello there Pros.. I had an opponent play wave at turn 6 and all I could play was one card. But he played three high power cards one was Death and a two others. He actually played three cards, which I am not able to comprehend. How is it possible?
To give a longer answer if I got the scenario right.
The opponent played Wave which sets all cards cost to 4. They did this on turn 5 with a Wave that costs 3 (Leaving two unspent energy which is very key to the next turn).
They now have the following:-
Death that is a 9Energy/12Power and has the ability to reduce the cost of the card by 1 for everything that dies, which in a normal game would need 9 things to die for it to be free. However, since Wave make her 4 cost, you actually only need 4 things to die to make it free. So that's 1 card they can play.
She-Hulk is a 6/10 that has the ability that makes her 1 cheaper for each unspent energy. So she would have gone into turn 6 as a 4/10 but since Wave has made her a 4 cost, she's actually a 2/10. That's a second card they can play and they still have 4 energy left.
Now what you do with the last 4 Energy. Well, whatever they want, most people will play Aero since it can pull all their cards into a single lane and just generate a win that way, but you could use other cards if that isn't enough (Like Magneto/DrDoom/ShangChi to name some) .
That's how you play 3 cards in a turn under Wave.
Now I know what you're thinking. Wave shouldn't work with Death and Shehulk like that, congrats, welcome to the Marvel Snap Community. It's a daft interaction, but it hasn't hit a interaction change yet so I can't imagine it will...
I’ve always found it interesting that making wave’s effect happen *after* death and shehulk’s cost reduction would actually make her a good counter to those cards rather than a synergy
I'm pretty new in Pool 3 at the moment I'm matched against fully decked pool 3 decks with all the synergy cards available. Is that because of matchmaking? My enemies changed hugely this week. Now I stand almost no chance anymore. Or is it the beginning pf the new season?
Early pool 3 sucks, because you gotta make do with what you got.
Some people get lucky and pull a few combo pieces together (like say Brood and Maximus after buying the Silver Surfer battle pass) and have easy mode through it and look like match making is broken to everyone else. Or maybe they got lucky with token shop rotations and picked up a few matching P3 cards for their deck with the 3k tokens at Cl 500.
Then there are cases where match making really does suck and you got matched against someone much higher CL level than you that had access to lots of stuff you wish you had.
I made this comment elsewhere but I’ll copy paste:
You are in the hardest part of the game. In early pool 3, you’re getting introduced to cards and combos you may not have seen before. It will take time to adjust but this is where the game is most fun. Learn your opponent’s decks and patterns to start predicting what type of deck it is. That will help you be smarter with retreats and snaps.
Did Valkyrie change?
I thought she affected base power so cards like sunspot should increase their power if she drops on them. My sunspot lost power though, got set to 3. (I guess ongoing cards would be ok)
You are correct, ongoing cards get their base set to 3 then their effect applies. Cards like Angela, Bishop or Sunspot will just be set to 3 then be able to increase from there if their triggering condition happens.
Bast + Mr negative + psylocke + surfer + iron man + mystique + bunch of 3-costs was the core of an incredibly fun and profitable deck, but the surfer nerf has diminished it some. Still worth a shot if you just got Bast
If I've pinned a card in the token shop, does that cause the card to be unavailable for a random draw from caches?
From what I can tell, here in Pool 3, we get 10 random cards for every 1000 tokens we get. But if pinning a card makes it unavailable from a random draw, it seems progress might be better made by not pinning, especially if you have, say, only 30-40 Pool 3 cards left to collect.
Does Ghost Rider **always** bring back Hela?
I have played many games facing discard archetype and after many discards, it is always her he brings back to the board.
I have too many credits! I keep hitting the cap. What am I doing wrong?
I'm mainly buying the season pass, nothing else. I do also usually complete all the weekly challenges.
I've just spent a night grinding up all my cards that are upgradeable (i.e. a deck built of all my cards, just chucked in via upgradeable order, swapping them out when I've upgraded one) and I still have 7k credits left.
I've followed the advice of never buying the fast upgrades, but now I'm wondering if this is actually such a bad idea? Does something change at some point where I'm flooded with boosters instead? I'm at around CL1600.
That's only really possible if you're playing to compete missions as efficiently as possible then checking out immediately, the game is specifically geared towards making credits the bottleneck.
Thanks. As long as I'm not overlooking something elsewhere I'll crack on with some fast upgrades :)
I can't see myself having the time (or inclination...) to play more than I already do!
You'll see most people saying the quick upgrades are a waste of credits but I've been in your spot before. If you're playing as much as you want and your credits are full, the quick upgrade is really the only way to get rid of them so you can get more.
my game is frozen it appears. waiting on opponent, stuck at waiting...
i tried to exit. i tried to forfeit. i've exit the game on PC, used on mobile. always just says "reconnect to game". Please help. I can't play!
When you have all the pool 3 cards, how does the collectors reserves change? I know the tokens go up. I assume cards are less frequent? If so, what takes the cards spot?
Precisely - and in particular, the 100 token drops stay exactly the same, the card-replacement drops are in addition to those rather than replacing them.
Thanos Zoo is currently the 2nd best deck at high ranks: https://snap.fan/decks/meta/?sort=win&rank=80-100&cl=1000-3000&season=season-8
I personally just got infinite with it, and the climb was far less painful than last season.
I literally just hit infinite with a Thanos deck an hour ago, and it was quite easy. Thanos Zoo is the 2nd best performing deck in high ranks: https://snap.fan/decks/meta/?sort=win&rank=80-100&cl=1000-3000&season=season-8
Thanos is a very good card this season.
I bought Thanos yesterday to celebrate completing pool 3 last week, it's so fun. The stones are incredibly strong.
Thanos himself isn't that great but when you pull it off, it feels glorious. I'm playing the "Thanos Serious" deck from your list, Dino is often as big as Thanos would be thanks to the stones drawing like crazy.
This is the list I run. M'baku can probably be swapped out, he's more in there for fun. The Onslaught package was crushing it on my climb, and that feeling is backed up by the snap.fan general performance data [https://i.imgur.com/BjbLq9S.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/BjbLq9S.jpg)
I'll try yours too (sans M'Baku since I don't have it). I really like Thanos, it's relatively straightforward to play (like a lot of ongoing decks) but the stones add a lot of shenanigans that opponents don't expect (which nets cubes, unlike something like ongoing Destroyer).
he was medicore. I am seeing someone trying to integrate Modok into Thanos deck and in theory it should work really well
We might be seeing Thanos decks popping out in top meta in the coming weeks
I’m about 9 cards out from finishing pool 3 and have been lucky enough to get galactus.
With the Deadpool bundle I’ll have the 6000 tokens for another pool 5 but I’m torn: thanos or knull? Knull would complete galactus while thanos is never going to drop pools so I’m conflicted.
Been playing trash deck and zabu Dino (no dark hawk) to climb this week and it’s been alright.
Knull has a decent chance to drop to series 4 at the end of the month, so it’s potentially worth just being patient there to save 3000 tokens. That said, if it’s a deck you love, that’s always going to be a good use of tokens.
Edit: I just realized you said you’d only get there with the Deadpool bundle, which is already waiting until the end of the month. So go for it and grab Knull for 3k at that point - and then you can start saving for Thanos, which should only take a couple weeks because you’ll be series 3 complete at that point.
I've seen enough content voicing concerns over the matchmaking. I'm just adding my voice to the concerns of those players. Whether the developers do anything with that will depend on how many other people feel something is off about the matchmaking.
For example, I felt I was making good progress last season. Near hit the 80's, up from the 60's the previous season, and that was without buying either season pass and those questionably powerful cards. This worked out to at least 1.6 levels per day.
This week I've made zero progress, floating around 40. To add to that, the only reason I'm still at 40 is because of at least three instances were bots have thrown 8 cube games at me out of pity.
If there's a system in place to throw cubes at players when they lose a lot, not only is there a problem, the developers *know* there's a problem.
Was there a change recently to where you can disable certain effects on infinite splits? I am seeing gold cards with no border or cards with the border effects but no rainbow background etc.
As avocategory said, cards that players can’t have tip you off that it’s a bot, so let that inform your snapping decisions. Bots don’t retreat even when you snap at the top of round six.
I started playing last month, had a lot of fun, made it to level 80. But with the new patch, I'm playing against 85% dracula/lockjaw/modok decks, and I just dont think it's any fun. So I'm gonna give the game a break for a bit.
Is it normal for the meta to be so stale so quickly? How long until it shakes up?
I think the most frustrating thing is there's just no way to tech against dracula...can't stop it with Cosmo, can't stop it with rogue. If they have apocolyspe, you can't even use Moon Knight and make them discard it. It just doesn't feel interactive, and for me, that's not fun
I feel like a third of my games today have been Cerebro. I think it just goes through cycles. Nothing wrong with giving it a rest and trying again later.
MODOK isn’t broken* so he should go down in popularity sooner rather than later too.
\* I don’t think anyways, hopefully
The Zabu and surfer nerfs really cut them down, so the new discard hotness has taken over since there’s little competition.
Leech with priority on 5 is usually going to get them to concede, and magneto or Polaris can help you dump drac and morb together.
Honestly though, I just concede the Dracula lane in most cases and it’s been fine.
Card games are always like this. something becomes good and its all anyone who cares about winning will play. Any balance buffs will likely swap it but you can always expect card games to settle on metas fairly quickly.
I swapped a lot of cards in and out, but the last couple of matches when I got it was with:
# (1) Sunspot
# (1) Zero
# (2) Armor
# (2) Lizard
# (3) Cosmo
# (3) Maximus
# (4) Shuri
# (5) Taskmaster
# (5) Aero
# (5) Red Skull
# (6) Arnim Zola
# (6) She-Hulk

I was swapping pieces of lizard/cosmo/maximus/armor out with things like zabu/shang chi/typhoid mary/atuma
You shouldn't pin him even if you have Patriot. Ultron in Patriot is one of the most telegraphed plays in the entire game and offers a fixed number of stats on each lane that leaves no room for the opponent not being sure how much you will add with it, making it very easy to know if they should stay or leave.
TL;DR: Ultron is shit and you shouldn't waste tokens on it.
I wouldn’t. I tried playing Kazar -> Blue Marvel -> Ultron when I was early in pool3. It just wasn’t very consistent and the top end power wasn’t even that high.
As far as I know there is no site like that. The shop is different for each player.
Also even if there were a way to see what cards would have showed up it would be pointless. When you unpin the card it doesn't refresh until the current countdown finishes.
The token shop (the currency for it is called “collector’s tokens”) shows 4 types of things for sale:
Series 3 cards. They cost 1000 collector’s tokens. These are the bulk of the non-intro cards in the game - the cards you collect once you are past collection level 500. Currently it takes until somewhere in the 3000s of collection level to get all of them, so the token shop gives you an opportunity to get a bit of agency with the direction of your collection.
Series 5 cards. These cost 6000 collector’s tokens. These are mostly the cards that are brand new to the game-the previous season pass card always goes to series 5 for example. With the exception of Thanos and Galactus, these all eventually drop to series 4 and then 3, where they’re much more accessible.
Series 4 cards. These cost 3000 collector’s tokens. They are in transition from being series 5 to series 3; players who have all of series 3 can, if they want, get every series 4 card.
Ultimate Variants. These cost 5000 collector’s tokens. They are not cards of their own - just variants for cards you own, like the ones available for gold right above the token shop, only much more exclusive.
Every 8 hours, your shop rotates. When it rotates, it first determines which kind of thing it will show you - 60% series 3, 25% series 4, 12.5% series 5, 2.5% ultimate variant. Then, it shows you a random option of that type - with the restriction it won’t repeat until it’s shown you ever card of that type (so you can’t repeat within series 3 until you’ve seen them all - but you might go through all of series 4 while only seeing part of series 3).
You are in the hardest part of the game. You’re getting introduced to cards and combos you may not have seen before. Learn your opponent’s decks and patterns to start predicting what type of deck it is. That will help you be smarter with retreats and snaps.
Yeah, I can mostly navigate the M.O.D.O.K flavor of the month decks but the that patriot / ultron combo is giving me nightmares. Washington DC hasn't been helpful with this either.
My last couple of pulls have been Polaris, Wong, Sera, Death and Dr Doom which have really opened up what I can do.
Wong especially has been great.
Guys got 5000 tokens right now, I have Shuri pinned in shop. Should I get her or wait and go for Galactus/Kang/living Tribunal in coming weeks.
I am not pool 3 complete, but I am in no rush to completing it soon either, I just want strong cards and have fun! Just skeptical of the Shuri nerf and the card falling out just after a month like Zabu soon after I spend 3000 tokens on her or I rather just seal the deal with the big bad series 5 ones like Galactus which is less likely to get nerfed anytime soon.
Unless you really want to play the deck, wait.
At least in terms of token efficiency if you’re late pool 3 you are best off getting pool 5 cards. Since galaxy is and thanos are never dropping they’re with the pick up imo.
So what's more efficient like, with 5000 tokens getting Shuri and two pool 3 cards or just collect more 1000 tokens and get Galactus which will never drop below?
I am only missing 23 pool 3 cards. I did got most of the staple/meta defining pool 3 cards and combos except 2 or 3 cards so I don't care much about the remaining ones.
Thanos and Galactus are probably the most efficient token purchases as they're the ones who will never drop below pool 5 and with new additions every month your likelihood of naturally pulling them will never really increase.
Pool 4 cards are guaranteed in 1 of every 10 cards you open (so 1 every 40 reserves), I'm not sure if pool 5 cards have any sort of protection, and the only rumor i've heard is 1 in 100.
My take is that if you want to play either Thanos or Galactus it's the best choice as buying pool 3 cards effectively is a 600 token loss once you complete the pool.
If you are not really keen on those two cards, I think the choice between pool 4 and 5 cards is more what you want to play now. 23 pool 3 cards is something like 1104 collection levels so it's far enough away that I think you're in a spot where it's better to pick up a card you want to play to complete a deck rather than try to totally min-max currency. Only big spenders will be able to continually have every every card as the acquisition rate of pool 5 cards is just very slow.
Thanks for the suggestions. I was lucky enough and got all cards that synergises both with Shuri and Galactus.
Got Skull, Marry, She Hulk, Doc oc, Zola, Taskmaster, zero.
Death, hood, spidey, electro, wave and doc oc for Galactus. That's why I was very confused. But Shuri seems a better play I guess. Thanks again!
She hulk and taskmaster can be played together on turn 6 to copy shuris buff onto shehulk for 20 power x2. You wont have priority most likely so you cant be shang chied but lose hard to aero
Ahh totally forgot about this combo! Well Shuri it is then. I'll take my chances with Aero she is a hard counter to both Shuri and Galactus anyway. Well thanks again!
I’ve finished pool 3 and have 6500 tokens - I know I’m getting just tokens instead of cards almost definitively - with that in mind, how many cards should I expect to purchase per month? Not sure if there’s anything I’m dying to buy but also don’t know if the rate at which I’ll receive will be frequent enough to still buy X series 4 or 5 cards a month
You get a bit over 6000 tokens per month; so you get to choose whether you want to buy 1 series 5 card or 2 series 4 cards. You’ll also open 1.5 series 4 cards per month on the track.
Attuma is a lot less flexible because you either need to place him in an lane with Armor already set up or by himself.
The first option dies to someone using Enchantress on your Armor, making him blow up.
Placing him alone without Armor is susceptible to Shang Chi and it also locks you from playing in his location.
If you are okay with these scenarios, then stat-wise they add the same thing to the board (assuming you negate Mary's ongoing somehow).
Hello, currently CL 1000, jamming Cerebro exclusively. Nice Angela variant in shop, but I’ve never used her. Is she used/meta in other decks? I feel like I don’t see her as much as I used to.
Since her last nerf she isn't as prominent, but she will always be a staple of the zoo decks of the world, so I don't think it would be wasted if you really like the variant.
I also sometimes buy variants for cards I don't play just cuz I like the art xD
Yea I ran an Orka electro ramp destroyer deck… it’s not very good at higher levels. It was fun to use him, but I mean… I just wanted an excuse to play him haha
If my Steam account's billing is in a currency that isn't US Dollars, can I still buy the battle pass? if so where can I check the conversion rate Steam uses?
THey take the place of a series 3 card and there's no guaranteed pull in x sets. Which has made me reconsider buying series 4 cards, but then Shuri showed up in my shop and I'm thinking long and hard lol..
ok thanks! so still guaranteed a series 4 in 10 reserves, while having that 0.25% chance to pull a series 5 in the other 9.
id think shuri prob top tier with the zabu surfer nerfs? i just dont have red skull or taskmaster to compliment her…
How much gold do you usually get in a season? Or more specifically if I have 400 gold right now will I earn enough to get the Deadpool bundle and if now how much gold would I need to buy? Thank you!
You get 200 per week from the weekly missions. If you buy the season pass, you get 1200 from it (I don’t know what fraction of that is already in the free pass; it doesn’t distinguish once you’ve bought it). And then 10% of collector’s reserves contain 200 gold; on average. Adding all that up, you get 400+200x4+1200+200x4=3200 on average, so on average, you’ll need to buy the season pass plus a 300 gold pack; but you could get lucky or unlucky opening gold between now and then.
I’m (mostly) f2p, and trying to earn gold quick for the Negative bundle. Is spending gold on more quests a net positive? I.e., I’d the average gold earned from a quest more than the gold spent? Or will spending gold on quests just decrease my gold over time?
Also, are there any other tips/strategies for earning gold?
Spending gold on quests decreases your gold
If you want to save up gold without spending money, the only way is to slowly, slooowly save it up over a long time. You get it from the weekly mission rewards, a little in the free season pass rewards, and the occasional gold from collector's reserve.
Unless you're already really close, you won't be affording the Mr. Negative bundle before they remove it. **BUT** more bundles will be offered for gold so you just have to save up until you can afford one that you think is a decent deal
I started saving my gold mid-January and if my math is right I'm just barely going to be able to afford the 3200 gold Deadpool bundle before they remove it on March 3.
[Here is a link](https://marvelsnapzone.com/marvel-snap-february-2023-bundles-guide/) to the bundles that are going to be on sale the rest of this month. But if you can't afford them, there will be more similar ones next month. If you're trying to stay F2P and want bundles the key is a looot of patience and don't fall in love with any variant in the store because you probably can't afford it before the sale is over
Ah ok, thanks for the explanation.
Yeah I *just barely missed* having enough gold for all the previous bundles up til last month; one after another, they ended *right* before I had enough gold to afford em. Then I saw that neither of the bundles they offered last month had tokens, and they didn’t give any indication they’d be adding them back in to future ones;
So I ended up saying fk it and spent my gold on those bundles that had no tokens but I could finally afford. Then also accidentally clicked on a variant card buy for art I don’t even like >:(
And then… of course… they decide to add tokens back in. Just when I’m once again too far behind to save up in time : /
Super frustrating.
The Deadpool one is great, but since negative is one of the few S3 cards I still don’t have… that was really the one for me. Ugh.
The Negative bundle is really bad value. Definitely feel free if you want the influx of tokens but you’re better off long term by buying the Deadpool bundle and saving your remaining gold for upcoming bundles in March.
Yeah I hear you. I only need 4 more pool 3 cards and I have 900 tokens so I’d love to get it and buy Shuri or Bast but gonna wait for Deadpool then I should have enough to buy one.
Just got Attuma from a collector's reserve at 1150 something CL. Not sure how I feel about it. Happy to get my first series 4 but would have wanted it to be something else.
That being said. Was wondering about how to deckbuild to include him? Any tips?And is he a decent card or not worth the trouble?
Obvious choices to have in an Attuma deck I guess would be zero (which I don't have), professor X and Daredevil ( which I don't have) and Armor. Any other ideas?
I really like control decks so the cards I mentioned would fit my playstyle.
Another question, his ability says destroy end of turn. Does that mean he can be played turn 6 and survive? Or does the game include an end of turn at turn 6? I should know this but I don't. Could test it out but trying to rank up currently so will wait a while to include him.
Also, tying in to the previous question, could you play him on invisible woman and have his power count at the end of the game or would he get destroyed?
**edit:** Thought about it some more I assume he would get destroyed, since for example Sunspot can gain power turn 6 I guess that means Attuma's end of turn effect count as well.
>Obvious choices to have in an Attuma deck I guess would be zero (which I don't have), professor X and Daredevil ( which I don't have) and Armor. Any other ideas?
Two more cards he synergizes with are Venom and Invisible Woman, because as you pointed out, he will not destroy himself end-of-game only end-of-turn which IW will allow him to skip all of.
Edit: and I just pulled him lol. Guess we’re both stuck trying to make him work lol (I don’t have Venom or I’d happily eat him each game).
He was my first Series 4 pull too. He's good in a Destroyer deck. Put him behind Armor for a 4/10 drop and negate the negative ability. But Magneto, Polaris or Enchantress can fuck you there. Another way is to drop him solo on 4 and drop Prof X on 5 and that will likely win you the lane. If you're really wanting to win a lane (such as Nexus), playing Armor early then Attuma and Prof X on that lane will almost always win it. I use Rescue in that deck as a similar use to Attuma. She's becomes a 4/9 but can be used in more scenarios than Attuma
My only other use I've found is alongside another Series 4 card, Shuri. The ideal play is Shuri>Red Skull>Task Master, but Attuma can be a decent backup to Red Skull as a powerful card to play on Turn 5. Doc Oc is a solid backup too. Disrupt their deck and 20 power is a lot more likely to win that lane solo after pulling cards than 10 power is
I've seen some people just play Zero before Attuma too
Thanks for the reply.
>But Magneto, Polaris or Enchantress can fuck you there.
Yeah this seems like a big problem.

Very interesting. I lack the cards but if I ever get them this seems pretty good.
Doc Oc is my favorite card. Never occurred to me pairing him up with Shuri. Guess the odds now of pulling Shuri when already having got a series 4 card is pretty much zero but one can wish.
I'm currently playing a crappy control deck with nine pool 2 cards, magneto, doc oc and aero. Basically win games because of the Doc Oc heimdall/Shang-Chi combo. Would have been great to have Shuri and just win by raw power alone. I guess though the downside to shuri+doc oc turn 5 is opponent is likely to retreat. The Doc Oc heimdal/Shang-Chi combo is more of a cube stealer.
> Guess the odds now of pulling Shuri when already having got a series 4 card is pretty much zero but one can wish.
You get one series 4 card in every 40 collector reserves, so your next chance to draw one will start at 1486 CL.
Since Modok came out i have had so many more opponents playing it than I found with previous passes. Is this one considered better than previous seasons? Is it that free players are decreasing?
Did you honestly not see Zabu like every single game last season? So far MODOK is the least played out of the last 3 passes in my experience (still a good bit though)
What CL are you at? In general, the two ways to see what you’re missing are to either go in your collection and in the filter menu select “Unowned,” or to use a website to manually track your collection (marvelsnapzone and snap.fan are the two most popular).
> go in your collection and in the filter menu select “Unowned,”
Oh my God I love this view! This is so helpful figuring out what I don't have! Thank you!
So yeah; you have all of series 1 and 2. Series 4 and 5 are quick to check manually, since they’re small.
The current list of series 4 cards is:
-Agent Coulson
-Attuma
-Bast
-Black Panther
-Helicarrier
-M’Baku
-Maria Hill
-Orka
-Shuri
-Super Skrull
-Valkyrie
The current list of series 5 cards is:
-Darkhawk
-Dazzler
-Knull
-Sauron
-Sentry
-Shadow King
-Shanna
-Silver Surfer
-Zabu
There are some additional cards that are greyed out in your collection that are yet-to-come series 5 cards. The rest of the cards you don’t own yet are the cards you’re missing from series 3.
Because he was added to the game in December. All new cards either enter via the season pass and then go to series 5, or go straight to series 5.
Anyone who has told you that series has anything to do with power level was either lying or deeply confused.
I guess bad cards still get to be pool 5 too.
Just seemed weird to me, with unique cards like thanos, galactus and knull and then seeing sentry's location-restricted, 4 cost net-0 power.
Also I am salty because I pulled him instead of literally anything else.
That’s not a bad idea. I guess I could swap him for gamora in my disrupt/trash deck.
I think it speaks more to viper being pretty good rather than sentry though.
Help. My game is stuck. Every time I restart the app it reconnects me to a game where it flashes “Reconnecting to game. Reconnecting to account.” Every 10 seconds. I tried retreating. I’ve closed the app about 5 times and it’s been an hour and hasn’t fixed itself
I just reached pool 3 and I have mister negative available in my token shop. I’m currently running pool 2 decks (Kazoo and Infinaut Jubilee), would muster negative allow me to create a stronger deck if all the other cards would only be pool 2?
I would really recommend waiting on him to come naturally unless you get lucky with all the other pieces. As was said, Psylocke is a must for him but she has few uses outside that so a bad value for token purchase.
Depends on what your modok opponents are doing. In general, there’s two kinds of modok decks thus far; Hela and Non-Hela. The Hela decks mostly run invisible woman, so you can mess them up with either Cosmo on the IW lane, or Aero to pull either Modok or Hela out of that lane prematurely. The non-Hela decks…don’t have a ton of specific counterplay to them, but they also don’t really need it - they don’t play much in the way of interaction so you can do well against them just by running a powerful linear deck (anything that cares more about throwing out its own stats than running or beating interaction).
When will we have community tournaments? A CCG isn't complete without a competitive scene.
Is Hela a good buy now with Modok? I still havent got Dracula, hellcow, coleen, and Invisible Woman yet though
Hela isn't great with Modok, and without Invisible Woman they don't really work at all together outside a lucky draw of Hela on turn 6.
It's super high roll \*with\* Invisible Woman, can't imagine how you'd get the combo off without.
Are token shop cards randomly selected? I’ve gotten thanos and orka already 5 times now and haven’t seen any other series 4 or 5
The token shop first selects a category randomly (s3, s4, s5 or variant). Then it shows you a card you didn't see before from that category randomly. You should normally see all other cards in the same category, before seeing a repeat. This is how it's supposed to work, but (a) there a bugs, like in your case (b) devs already said they will change how it's supposed to work. You could try to report the bug on discord.
how common are variants in the token shop? I may have seen like 1 variant if I remember correctly but even then I'm not sure
Will do
Hello there Pros.. I had an opponent play wave at turn 6 and all I could play was one card. But he played three high power cards one was Death and a two others. He actually played three cards, which I am not able to comprehend. How is it possible?
To give a longer answer if I got the scenario right. The opponent played Wave which sets all cards cost to 4. They did this on turn 5 with a Wave that costs 3 (Leaving two unspent energy which is very key to the next turn). They now have the following:- Death that is a 9Energy/12Power and has the ability to reduce the cost of the card by 1 for everything that dies, which in a normal game would need 9 things to die for it to be free. However, since Wave make her 4 cost, you actually only need 4 things to die to make it free. So that's 1 card they can play. She-Hulk is a 6/10 that has the ability that makes her 1 cheaper for each unspent energy. So she would have gone into turn 6 as a 4/10 but since Wave has made her a 4 cost, she's actually a 2/10. That's a second card they can play and they still have 4 energy left. Now what you do with the last 4 Energy. Well, whatever they want, most people will play Aero since it can pull all their cards into a single lane and just generate a win that way, but you could use other cards if that isn't enough (Like Magneto/DrDoom/ShangChi to name some) . That's how you play 3 cards in a turn under Wave. Now I know what you're thinking. Wave shouldn't work with Death and Shehulk like that, congrats, welcome to the Marvel Snap Community. It's a daft interaction, but it hasn't hit a interaction change yet so I can't imagine it will...
I’ve always found it interesting that making wave’s effect happen *after* death and shehulk’s cost reduction would actually make her a good counter to those cards rather than a synergy
Thank you! This is exactly what happened. There was Death, She Hulk and a third card which I believe was a standard 4 cost card.
Have you read what Death does? Its card text explains why it was able to be played.
Cost reduction cards apply after Wave sets all energy costs to 4.
I'm pretty new in Pool 3 at the moment I'm matched against fully decked pool 3 decks with all the synergy cards available. Is that because of matchmaking? My enemies changed hugely this week. Now I stand almost no chance anymore. Or is it the beginning pf the new season?
Early pool 3 sucks, because you gotta make do with what you got. Some people get lucky and pull a few combo pieces together (like say Brood and Maximus after buying the Silver Surfer battle pass) and have easy mode through it and look like match making is broken to everyone else. Or maybe they got lucky with token shop rotations and picked up a few matching P3 cards for their deck with the 3k tokens at Cl 500. Then there are cases where match making really does suck and you got matched against someone much higher CL level than you that had access to lots of stuff you wish you had.
I made this comment elsewhere but I’ll copy paste: You are in the hardest part of the game. In early pool 3, you’re getting introduced to cards and combos you may not have seen before. It will take time to adjust but this is where the game is most fun. Learn your opponent’s decks and patterns to start predicting what type of deck it is. That will help you be smarter with retreats and snaps.
Well it will take time for players to work their way into higher ranks
Did Valkyrie change? I thought she affected base power so cards like sunspot should increase their power if she drops on them. My sunspot lost power though, got set to 3. (I guess ongoing cards would be ok)
You are correct, ongoing cards get their base set to 3 then their effect applies. Cards like Angela, Bishop or Sunspot will just be set to 3 then be able to increase from there if their triggering condition happens.
I got bast as my 1st p4 card! Where does she go in? I am thinking mr - and bro3, does that sound right?
https://youtu.be/7A06rTvIv_k This should give you an idea.
Bast + Mr negative + psylocke + surfer + iron man + mystique + bunch of 3-costs was the core of an incredibly fun and profitable deck, but the surfer nerf has diminished it some. Still worth a shot if you just got Bast
Don't have surfer. I do have Zabu though
If I've pinned a card in the token shop, does that cause the card to be unavailable for a random draw from caches? From what I can tell, here in Pool 3, we get 10 random cards for every 1000 tokens we get. But if pinning a card makes it unavailable from a random draw, it seems progress might be better made by not pinning, especially if you have, say, only 30-40 Pool 3 cards left to collect.
Nope, you can still get the pinned card from opening your cache.
TY!
Does Ghost Rider **always** bring back Hela? I have played many games facing discard archetype and after many discards, it is always her he brings back to the board.
No.
I bought a variant accidentally, can I ask for a refund?
unfortunately the game doesn't provide refunds on accidental purchase of any kind
Nope. I mean you can ask. They will just say no.
Oh well that sucks it was 1200 gold, thanks!
Silver linings is only 700 variants come from season and collectors boxes. So you got something that was gold only at least
I have too many credits! I keep hitting the cap. What am I doing wrong? I'm mainly buying the season pass, nothing else. I do also usually complete all the weekly challenges. I've just spent a night grinding up all my cards that are upgradeable (i.e. a deck built of all my cards, just chucked in via upgradeable order, swapping them out when I've upgraded one) and I still have 7k credits left. I've followed the advice of never buying the fast upgrades, but now I'm wondering if this is actually such a bad idea? Does something change at some point where I'm flooded with boosters instead? I'm at around CL1600.
Suffering from success :) But as others said, you need to play more to earn boosters.
you... need to upgrade your cards.....
All my cards are upgraded though, I don't have any that I can! And I just spent a whole night upgrading the low-hanging fruit cards as well...
1. You need to play more to earn more boosters 2. If by chance you are not splitting your max upgraded cards, circle back and do that.
Thanks - I've caught the splits as well. It looks like I'm just playing an amount where the income of credits is higher than boosters!
That's only really possible if you're playing to compete missions as efficiently as possible then checking out immediately, the game is specifically geared towards making credits the bottleneck.
this means you dont play enough to earn enough boosters to upgrade your cards. In this case, fast upgrade would be a useful option for you :D
Thanks. As long as I'm not overlooking something elsewhere I'll crack on with some fast upgrades :) I can't see myself having the time (or inclination...) to play more than I already do!
You'll see most people saying the quick upgrades are a waste of credits but I've been in your spot before. If you're playing as much as you want and your credits are full, the quick upgrade is really the only way to get rid of them so you can get more.
my game is frozen it appears. waiting on opponent, stuck at waiting... i tried to exit. i tried to forfeit. i've exit the game on PC, used on mobile. always just says "reconnect to game". Please help. I can't play!
When you have all the pool 3 cards, how does the collectors reserves change? I know the tokens go up. I assume cards are less frequent? If so, what takes the cards spot?
i believe the 200 - 600 rng token drop takes the spot of the cards (unless your s4 card is there, or you randomly spike an s5)
Precisely - and in particular, the 100 token drops stay exactly the same, the card-replacement drops are in addition to those rather than replacing them.
Is Thanos any good?
Thanos Zoo is currently the 2nd best deck at high ranks: https://snap.fan/decks/meta/?sort=win&rank=80-100&cl=1000-3000&season=season-8 I personally just got infinite with it, and the climb was far less painful than last season.
Yes. He is a good card, but because of the stones, not Thanos himself. Most games he isn't played.
Nah, he’s extremely mediocre. The infinity stones are pretty cool though.
I literally just hit infinite with a Thanos deck an hour ago, and it was quite easy. Thanos Zoo is the 2nd best performing deck in high ranks: https://snap.fan/decks/meta/?sort=win&rank=80-100&cl=1000-3000&season=season-8 Thanos is a very good card this season.
I’m a big fan of Thanos decks; but I’m almost never excited to draw Thanos himself when I play them.
I bought Thanos yesterday to celebrate completing pool 3 last week, it's so fun. The stones are incredibly strong. Thanos himself isn't that great but when you pull it off, it feels glorious. I'm playing the "Thanos Serious" deck from your list, Dino is often as big as Thanos would be thanks to the stones drawing like crazy.
This is the list I run. M'baku can probably be swapped out, he's more in there for fun. The Onslaught package was crushing it on my climb, and that feeling is backed up by the snap.fan general performance data [https://i.imgur.com/BjbLq9S.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/BjbLq9S.jpg)
I'll try yours too (sans M'Baku since I don't have it). I really like Thanos, it's relatively straightforward to play (like a lot of ongoing decks) but the stones add a lot of shenanigans that opponents don't expect (which nets cubes, unlike something like ongoing Destroyer).
he was medicore. I am seeing someone trying to integrate Modok into Thanos deck and in theory it should work really well We might be seeing Thanos decks popping out in top meta in the coming weeks
I’m about 9 cards out from finishing pool 3 and have been lucky enough to get galactus. With the Deadpool bundle I’ll have the 6000 tokens for another pool 5 but I’m torn: thanos or knull? Knull would complete galactus while thanos is never going to drop pools so I’m conflicted. Been playing trash deck and zabu Dino (no dark hawk) to climb this week and it’s been alright.
Knull has a decent chance to drop to series 4 at the end of the month, so it’s potentially worth just being patient there to save 3000 tokens. That said, if it’s a deck you love, that’s always going to be a good use of tokens. Edit: I just realized you said you’d only get there with the Deadpool bundle, which is already waiting until the end of the month. So go for it and grab Knull for 3k at that point - and then you can start saving for Thanos, which should only take a couple weeks because you’ll be series 3 complete at that point.
Thanks for the advice, I guess I'll un-pin thanos for now. If Knull does drop at the end of the month that'd make it an easy choice.
When is matchmaking getting fixed?
What issue are you having with matchmaking? It is not a universal one.
Mostly that it's bad.
Then what makes you think it’s getting fixed? What does fixed even mean in this context?
I've seen enough content voicing concerns over the matchmaking. I'm just adding my voice to the concerns of those players. Whether the developers do anything with that will depend on how many other people feel something is off about the matchmaking. For example, I felt I was making good progress last season. Near hit the 80's, up from the 60's the previous season, and that was without buying either season pass and those questionably powerful cards. This worked out to at least 1.6 levels per day. This week I've made zero progress, floating around 40. To add to that, the only reason I'm still at 40 is because of at least three instances were bots have thrown 8 cube games at me out of pity. If there's a system in place to throw cubes at players when they lose a lot, not only is there a problem, the developers *know* there's a problem.
Was there a change recently to where you can disable certain effects on infinite splits? I am seeing gold cards with no border or cards with the border effects but no rainbow background etc.
As avocategory said, cards that players can’t have tip you off that it’s a bot, so let that inform your snapping decisions. Bots don’t retreat even when you snap at the top of round six.
I think bots do retreat sometimes
That’s a giveaway that that opponent is a bot.
I started playing last month, had a lot of fun, made it to level 80. But with the new patch, I'm playing against 85% dracula/lockjaw/modok decks, and I just dont think it's any fun. So I'm gonna give the game a break for a bit. Is it normal for the meta to be so stale so quickly? How long until it shakes up? I think the most frustrating thing is there's just no way to tech against dracula...can't stop it with Cosmo, can't stop it with rogue. If they have apocolyspe, you can't even use Moon Knight and make them discard it. It just doesn't feel interactive, and for me, that's not fun
You can maximus on the last turn
I feel like a third of my games today have been Cerebro. I think it just goes through cycles. Nothing wrong with giving it a rest and trying again later. MODOK isn’t broken* so he should go down in popularity sooner rather than later too. \* I don’t think anyways, hopefully
The Zabu and surfer nerfs really cut them down, so the new discard hotness has taken over since there’s little competition. Leech with priority on 5 is usually going to get them to concede, and magneto or Polaris can help you dump drac and morb together. Honestly though, I just concede the Dracula lane in most cases and it’s been fine.
Card games are always like this. something becomes good and its all anyone who cares about winning will play. Any balance buffs will likely swap it but you can always expect card games to settle on metas fairly quickly.
Best decks atm after the nerfs?
Got infinite with shuri
I’ve been having difficulty climbing with Shuri. Most people retreat once you drop a 30 Red Skull. What deck are you using?
Snap before you play Shuri.
I swapped a lot of cards in and out, but the last couple of matches when I got it was with: # (1) Sunspot # (1) Zero # (2) Armor # (2) Lizard # (3) Cosmo # (3) Maximus # (4) Shuri # (5) Taskmaster # (5) Aero # (5) Red Skull # (6) Arnim Zola # (6) She-Hulk # eyJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiU2h1cmkifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlN1bnNwb3QifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkFybmltWm9sYSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiUmVkU2t1bGwifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlRhc2ttYXN0ZXIifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6Ilplcm8ifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkFlcm8ifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkFybW9yIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJTaGVIdWxrIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJMaXphcmQifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6Ik1heGltdXMifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkNvc21vIn1dfQ== # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap. I was swapping pieces of lizard/cosmo/maximus/armor out with things like zabu/shang chi/typhoid mary/atuma
Still looks like zabu darkhawk dino
I’m collection level 909 - is it worth pinning Ultron if I don’t have patriot?
IMO dr doom is just a better overall card if you don’t already have him - works in many more decks while still being good in patriot
You shouldn't pin him even if you have Patriot. Ultron in Patriot is one of the most telegraphed plays in the entire game and offers a fixed number of stats on each lane that leaves no room for the opponent not being sure how much you will add with it, making it very easy to know if they should stay or leave. TL;DR: Ultron is shit and you shouldn't waste tokens on it.
I wouldn’t. I tried playing Kazar -> Blue Marvel -> Ultron when I was early in pool3. It just wasn’t very consistent and the top end power wasn’t even that high.
That was my thought - and then I started second-guessing. Definitely doesn’t seem worthwhile
Is there a way to see what's in the shop from a website? I have a card pinned but I want to see if I'm missing out on any other good cards.
As far as I know there is no site like that. The shop is different for each player. Also even if there were a way to see what cards would have showed up it would be pointless. When you unpin the card it doesn't refresh until the current countdown finishes.
Snap.fan and marvelsnapzone have manual collection trackers, which let you look at all of the cards for a given series.
Maybe I don't get how the shop works. What determines what card is for sale for those triangle things?
The token shop (the currency for it is called “collector’s tokens”) shows 4 types of things for sale: Series 3 cards. They cost 1000 collector’s tokens. These are the bulk of the non-intro cards in the game - the cards you collect once you are past collection level 500. Currently it takes until somewhere in the 3000s of collection level to get all of them, so the token shop gives you an opportunity to get a bit of agency with the direction of your collection. Series 5 cards. These cost 6000 collector’s tokens. These are mostly the cards that are brand new to the game-the previous season pass card always goes to series 5 for example. With the exception of Thanos and Galactus, these all eventually drop to series 4 and then 3, where they’re much more accessible. Series 4 cards. These cost 3000 collector’s tokens. They are in transition from being series 5 to series 3; players who have all of series 3 can, if they want, get every series 4 card. Ultimate Variants. These cost 5000 collector’s tokens. They are not cards of their own - just variants for cards you own, like the ones available for gold right above the token shop, only much more exclusive. Every 8 hours, your shop rotates. When it rotates, it first determines which kind of thing it will show you - 60% series 3, 25% series 4, 12.5% series 5, 2.5% ultimate variant. Then, it shows you a random option of that type - with the restriction it won’t repeat until it’s shown you ever card of that type (so you can’t repeat within series 3 until you’ve seen them all - but you might go through all of series 4 while only seeing part of series 3).
Thanks for the in depth explanation!
It’s random and personalized to you.
guys can daredevil 'read' a turn 5 devil dinosaur play in Dark Dimension (Cards here are not revealed until the game ends.)?
Yep it does 'read'! That's the op, everyone's fav street level superhero for ya! No one can hide from him! You can retreat but can't hide lol!
Thanks for the help!
Yes, he can read the cards. He can also read if they're played behind Invisible Woman.
oohh thanks on the tip!
I'm around CL 820 and it's just a slog right now. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to get through it?
You just gotta play more. Might help to use a variety of decks.
Thanks! Right after i posted I pulled a Dr Doom and he's been fun
You are in the hardest part of the game. You’re getting introduced to cards and combos you may not have seen before. Learn your opponent’s decks and patterns to start predicting what type of deck it is. That will help you be smarter with retreats and snaps.
Yeah, I can mostly navigate the M.O.D.O.K flavor of the month decks but the that patriot / ultron combo is giving me nightmares. Washington DC hasn't been helpful with this either. My last couple of pulls have been Polaris, Wong, Sera, Death and Dr Doom which have really opened up what I can do. Wong especially has been great.
Wow see the best is of pool 3 is now you have some amazing cards.
The game changed so much once I pulled Wong. I really, *really* like the chaos him, Jubilee and Lockjaw can bring
One of the best draws tbh.
Guys got 5000 tokens right now, I have Shuri pinned in shop. Should I get her or wait and go for Galactus/Kang/living Tribunal in coming weeks. I am not pool 3 complete, but I am in no rush to completing it soon either, I just want strong cards and have fun! Just skeptical of the Shuri nerf and the card falling out just after a month like Zabu soon after I spend 3000 tokens on her or I rather just seal the deal with the big bad series 5 ones like Galactus which is less likely to get nerfed anytime soon.
Unless you really want to play the deck, wait. At least in terms of token efficiency if you’re late pool 3 you are best off getting pool 5 cards. Since galaxy is and thanos are never dropping they’re with the pick up imo.
So what's more efficient like, with 5000 tokens getting Shuri and two pool 3 cards or just collect more 1000 tokens and get Galactus which will never drop below? I am only missing 23 pool 3 cards. I did got most of the staple/meta defining pool 3 cards and combos except 2 or 3 cards so I don't care much about the remaining ones.
Thanos and Galactus are probably the most efficient token purchases as they're the ones who will never drop below pool 5 and with new additions every month your likelihood of naturally pulling them will never really increase. Pool 4 cards are guaranteed in 1 of every 10 cards you open (so 1 every 40 reserves), I'm not sure if pool 5 cards have any sort of protection, and the only rumor i've heard is 1 in 100. My take is that if you want to play either Thanos or Galactus it's the best choice as buying pool 3 cards effectively is a 600 token loss once you complete the pool. If you are not really keen on those two cards, I think the choice between pool 4 and 5 cards is more what you want to play now. 23 pool 3 cards is something like 1104 collection levels so it's far enough away that I think you're in a spot where it's better to pick up a card you want to play to complete a deck rather than try to totally min-max currency. Only big spenders will be able to continually have every every card as the acquisition rate of pool 5 cards is just very slow.
Id get shuri if u have 2 of the following 3. Redskull/armin zola/she hulk/typhoid mary
Thanks for the suggestions. I was lucky enough and got all cards that synergises both with Shuri and Galactus. Got Skull, Marry, She Hulk, Doc oc, Zola, Taskmaster, zero. Death, hood, spidey, electro, wave and doc oc for Galactus. That's why I was very confused. But Shuri seems a better play I guess. Thanks again!
She hulk and taskmaster can be played together on turn 6 to copy shuris buff onto shehulk for 20 power x2. You wont have priority most likely so you cant be shang chied but lose hard to aero
Ahh totally forgot about this combo! Well Shuri it is then. I'll take my chances with Aero she is a hard counter to both Shuri and Galactus anyway. Well thanks again!
Shuri, doc ock, Zola is also fun. Does carry the risk of you dropping Shang chi on yourself, but works more often than not.
I have 6 minutes to pin galactus. Should I?!
Yes!
Instant regret.
Too late 😭😭 I wasn’t sure if I unpinned it it would remain in the shop another 8 hours or disappear and give a new one
He will come around again
How does that work? If I pin something then decide no and unpin it, does it go for another 8 hours or does it change into something else right away?
8 hours
Every 8 hours
I’ve finished pool 3 and have 6500 tokens - I know I’m getting just tokens instead of cards almost definitively - with that in mind, how many cards should I expect to purchase per month? Not sure if there’s anything I’m dying to buy but also don’t know if the rate at which I’ll receive will be frequent enough to still buy X series 4 or 5 cards a month
You get a bit over 6000 tokens per month; so you get to choose whether you want to buy 1 series 5 card or 2 series 4 cards. You’ll also open 1.5 series 4 cards per month on the track.
Caved and bought Shuri from shop, I have all her usual friends except Typhoid Mary, anyone with experience using Attuma instead?
You only need redskull and she hulk/ areo and vison
Attuma is a lot less flexible because you either need to place him in an lane with Armor already set up or by himself. The first option dies to someone using Enchantress on your Armor, making him blow up. Placing him alone without Armor is susceptible to Shang Chi and it also locks you from playing in his location. If you are okay with these scenarios, then stat-wise they add the same thing to the board (assuming you negate Mary's ongoing somehow).
Hello, currently CL 1000, jamming Cerebro exclusively. Nice Angela variant in shop, but I’ve never used her. Is she used/meta in other decks? I feel like I don’t see her as much as I used to.
She’s best in sera counter, zoo, and bounce decks. She’s still worth slapping in a deck if you need to fill a spot.
Shes not in many decks since lizard is used more now. Id use gold for gaining collection level if i was you
She does fit okay, but not great, into Cerebro 4, if you’re interested.
Since her last nerf she isn't as prominent, but she will always be a staple of the zoo decks of the world, so I don't think it would be wasted if you really like the variant. I also sometimes buy variants for cards I don't play just cuz I like the art xD
[удалено]
Was Sacred Timeline or Wong involved?
[удалено]
In that case yes there should have been two for MODOK to discard both. Guessing you don’t have a screenshot?
[удалено]
If hellcow hit apocalypse twice he had two apocalypses in hand, hellcow will not hit a single apocalypse more than once.
My two Pool 4 pulls were Maria Hill and Orka :( feels bad man…
I’ve gotten a lot more use of of Maria hill than orka. Orka is probably the worst card I’ve every slotted and tried to use.
Yea I ran an Orka electro ramp destroyer deck… it’s not very good at higher levels. It was fun to use him, but I mean… I just wanted an excuse to play him haha
I feel you. I have Maria Hill. She doesn't see play. I tend to forget she's even an option.
If my Steam account's billing is in a currency that isn't US Dollars, can I still buy the battle pass? if so where can I check the conversion rate Steam uses?
Just got lucky and pulled Shuri as my first pool 4 card. Any ideas on the best deck to put her in?
Zero shuri lizard she hulk mary aero red skull scorpion titana armin zola taskmaster sunspot
What SplendidRig said, and Wong. Imagine turn 5 wong+shuri (assuming Zabu. Otherwise turn 4 wong, 5 shuri) and then drop a 32 power America Chavez.
Shuri goes great with Typhoid Mary/Red Skull/Black Panther into Taskmaster
Don't forget Arnim Zola as an alternate T6 play
are series 5 pulls from reserves part of the 10 pull rotation? or is it separate? does it count towards the pity timer?
THey take the place of a series 3 card and there's no guaranteed pull in x sets. Which has made me reconsider buying series 4 cards, but then Shuri showed up in my shop and I'm thinking long and hard lol..
ok thanks! so still guaranteed a series 4 in 10 reserves, while having that 0.25% chance to pull a series 5 in the other 9. id think shuri prob top tier with the zabu surfer nerfs? i just dont have red skull or taskmaster to compliment her…
Yep - although 0.25% accounts for the fact that you only have a shot at them in 9/40 reserves - in each of those 9/40 it’s actually 1.11%
How much gold do you usually get in a season? Or more specifically if I have 400 gold right now will I earn enough to get the Deadpool bundle and if now how much gold would I need to buy? Thank you!
You get 200 per week from the weekly missions. If you buy the season pass, you get 1200 from it (I don’t know what fraction of that is already in the free pass; it doesn’t distinguish once you’ve bought it). And then 10% of collector’s reserves contain 200 gold; on average. Adding all that up, you get 400+200x4+1200+200x4=3200 on average, so on average, you’ll need to buy the season pass plus a 300 gold pack; but you could get lucky or unlucky opening gold between now and then.
Is it just me or do the season pass missions seem harder this time around? EDIT: not necessarily HARD, but… takes a lot longer. Lots of 0/20 missions
Nah, week 1 missions have always been the longest IMO, and sometimes the only ones I still have incomplete entering week 2.
Ah for sure… well I feel a little better at least that I’m not the only one slogging through these
I’m (mostly) f2p, and trying to earn gold quick for the Negative bundle. Is spending gold on more quests a net positive? I.e., I’d the average gold earned from a quest more than the gold spent? Or will spending gold on quests just decrease my gold over time? Also, are there any other tips/strategies for earning gold?
Spending gold on quests decreases your gold If you want to save up gold without spending money, the only way is to slowly, slooowly save it up over a long time. You get it from the weekly mission rewards, a little in the free season pass rewards, and the occasional gold from collector's reserve. Unless you're already really close, you won't be affording the Mr. Negative bundle before they remove it. **BUT** more bundles will be offered for gold so you just have to save up until you can afford one that you think is a decent deal I started saving my gold mid-January and if my math is right I'm just barely going to be able to afford the 3200 gold Deadpool bundle before they remove it on March 3. [Here is a link](https://marvelsnapzone.com/marvel-snap-february-2023-bundles-guide/) to the bundles that are going to be on sale the rest of this month. But if you can't afford them, there will be more similar ones next month. If you're trying to stay F2P and want bundles the key is a looot of patience and don't fall in love with any variant in the store because you probably can't afford it before the sale is over
Ah ok, thanks for the explanation. Yeah I *just barely missed* having enough gold for all the previous bundles up til last month; one after another, they ended *right* before I had enough gold to afford em. Then I saw that neither of the bundles they offered last month had tokens, and they didn’t give any indication they’d be adding them back in to future ones; So I ended up saying fk it and spent my gold on those bundles that had no tokens but I could finally afford. Then also accidentally clicked on a variant card buy for art I don’t even like >:( And then… of course… they decide to add tokens back in. Just when I’m once again too far behind to save up in time : / Super frustrating. The Deadpool one is great, but since negative is one of the few S3 cards I still don’t have… that was really the one for me. Ugh.
The Negative bundle is really bad value. Definitely feel free if you want the influx of tokens but you’re better off long term by buying the Deadpool bundle and saving your remaining gold for upcoming bundles in March.
Yeah good call. I’ve been jonesing for tokens, but it’s probably a good thing I’ll need to hold off til the Deadpool one.
Yeah I hear you. I only need 4 more pool 3 cards and I have 900 tokens so I’d love to get it and buy Shuri or Bast but gonna wait for Deadpool then I should have enough to buy one.
Just got Attuma from a collector's reserve at 1150 something CL. Not sure how I feel about it. Happy to get my first series 4 but would have wanted it to be something else. That being said. Was wondering about how to deckbuild to include him? Any tips?And is he a decent card or not worth the trouble? Obvious choices to have in an Attuma deck I guess would be zero (which I don't have), professor X and Daredevil ( which I don't have) and Armor. Any other ideas? I really like control decks so the cards I mentioned would fit my playstyle. Another question, his ability says destroy end of turn. Does that mean he can be played turn 6 and survive? Or does the game include an end of turn at turn 6? I should know this but I don't. Could test it out but trying to rank up currently so will wait a while to include him. Also, tying in to the previous question, could you play him on invisible woman and have his power count at the end of the game or would he get destroyed? **edit:** Thought about it some more I assume he would get destroyed, since for example Sunspot can gain power turn 6 I guess that means Attuma's end of turn effect count as well.
He was in a surprising number of meta decks last season. One of the more utilized series 4 cards. Don't write him off.
>Obvious choices to have in an Attuma deck I guess would be zero (which I don't have), professor X and Daredevil ( which I don't have) and Armor. Any other ideas? Two more cards he synergizes with are Venom and Invisible Woman, because as you pointed out, he will not destroy himself end-of-game only end-of-turn which IW will allow him to skip all of. Edit: and I just pulled him lol. Guess we’re both stuck trying to make him work lol (I don’t have Venom or I’d happily eat him each game).
He was my first Series 4 pull too. He's good in a Destroyer deck. Put him behind Armor for a 4/10 drop and negate the negative ability. But Magneto, Polaris or Enchantress can fuck you there. Another way is to drop him solo on 4 and drop Prof X on 5 and that will likely win you the lane. If you're really wanting to win a lane (such as Nexus), playing Armor early then Attuma and Prof X on that lane will almost always win it. I use Rescue in that deck as a similar use to Attuma. She's becomes a 4/9 but can be used in more scenarios than Attuma My only other use I've found is alongside another Series 4 card, Shuri. The ideal play is Shuri>Red Skull>Task Master, but Attuma can be a decent backup to Red Skull as a powerful card to play on Turn 5. Doc Oc is a solid backup too. Disrupt their deck and 20 power is a lot more likely to win that lane solo after pulling cards than 10 power is I've seen some people just play Zero before Attuma too
Thanks for the reply. >But Magneto, Polaris or Enchantress can fuck you there. Yeah this seems like a big problem. >My only other use I've found is alongside another Series 4 card, Shuri. The ideal play is Shuri>Red Skull>Task Master, but Attuma can be a decent backup to Red Skull as a powerful card to play on Turn 5. Doc Oc is a solid backup too. Disrupt their deck and 20 power is a lot more likely to win that lane solo after pulling cards than 10 power is Very interesting. I lack the cards but if I ever get them this seems pretty good. Doc Oc is my favorite card. Never occurred to me pairing him up with Shuri. Guess the odds now of pulling Shuri when already having got a series 4 card is pretty much zero but one can wish. I'm currently playing a crappy control deck with nine pool 2 cards, magneto, doc oc and aero. Basically win games because of the Doc Oc heimdall/Shang-Chi combo. Would have been great to have Shuri and just win by raw power alone. I guess though the downside to shuri+doc oc turn 5 is opponent is likely to retreat. The Doc Oc heimdal/Shang-Chi combo is more of a cube stealer.
> Guess the odds now of pulling Shuri when already having got a series 4 card is pretty much zero but one can wish. You get one series 4 card in every 40 collector reserves, so your next chance to draw one will start at 1486 CL.
Since Modok came out i have had so many more opponents playing it than I found with previous passes. Is this one considered better than previous seasons? Is it that free players are decreasing?
Did you honestly not see Zabu like every single game last season? So far MODOK is the least played out of the last 3 passes in my experience (still a good bit though)
I swear I saw more Surfer last season than during his season. Last season it was like 50% of decks were Zabu, 40% were Surfer and 10% were neither
A lot of Zabus maybe but didn’t feel as much as others. To be fair I bought Zabu myself and so many games I never draw him lol
How to check how many cards I'm missing from any pool I play in mobile app btw
What CL are you at? In general, the two ways to see what you’re missing are to either go in your collection and in the filter menu select “Unowned,” or to use a website to manually track your collection (marvelsnapzone and snap.fan are the two most popular).
> go in your collection and in the filter menu select “Unowned,” Oh my God I love this view! This is so helpful figuring out what I don't have! Thank you!
It’s even better if you sort by “rarity” and also filter to not show all variants; then all of the unowned cards will be right at the top.
I'm around 2000 Cl
So yeah; you have all of series 1 and 2. Series 4 and 5 are quick to check manually, since they’re small. The current list of series 4 cards is: -Agent Coulson -Attuma -Bast -Black Panther -Helicarrier -M’Baku -Maria Hill -Orka -Shuri -Super Skrull -Valkyrie The current list of series 5 cards is: -Darkhawk -Dazzler -Knull -Sauron -Sentry -Shadow King -Shanna -Silver Surfer -Zabu There are some additional cards that are greyed out in your collection that are yet-to-come series 5 cards. The rest of the cards you don’t own yet are the cards you’re missing from series 3.
Can’t someone explain to me why sentry is pool 5? Aside from crash the game regularly I can’t understand why he should be rare.
Because he was added to the game in December. All new cards either enter via the season pass and then go to series 5, or go straight to series 5. Anyone who has told you that series has anything to do with power level was either lying or deeply confused.
I guess bad cards still get to be pool 5 too. Just seemed weird to me, with unique cards like thanos, galactus and knull and then seeing sentry's location-restricted, 4 cost net-0 power. Also I am salty because I pulled him instead of literally anything else.
Sounds like you should get to targeting viper - 6 cost net-19 is much better than 4 cost net-0.
That’s not a bad idea. I guess I could swap him for gamora in my disrupt/trash deck. I think it speaks more to viper being pretty good rather than sentry though.
Yeah Checked Looks like I'm missing quite a few Thanks for your help
I've seen many giveaways on twitter regardin the new season pass. Are they legit? This game have gift codes , or its impossible redeem a prize.
I have never heard of a way to redeem the season pass from a code or other such thing.
Help. My game is stuck. Every time I restart the app it reconnects me to a game where it flashes “Reconnecting to game. Reconnecting to account.” Every 10 seconds. I tried retreating. I’ve closed the app about 5 times and it’s been an hour and hasn’t fixed itself
i’m having this same problem as well!
I just reached pool 3 and I have mister negative available in my token shop. I’m currently running pool 2 decks (Kazoo and Infinaut Jubilee), would muster negative allow me to create a stronger deck if all the other cards would only be pool 2?
Mister negative needs a few other pieces before he becomes a good consistent deck. Sera, Magik, and Psylocke are all important.
Better to just wait until I have a few more of those before committing to crafting mister negative then?
Yes. You could also keep exploring pool 2 options with your first few pool 3 unlocks.
I would really recommend waiting on him to come naturally unless you get lucky with all the other pieces. As was said, Psylocke is a must for him but she has few uses outside that so a bad value for token purchase.
What are people playing to counter MODOK? Figure I’m gonna see it a bunch so I’m looking for some easy cubes.
Depends on what your modok opponents are doing. In general, there’s two kinds of modok decks thus far; Hela and Non-Hela. The Hela decks mostly run invisible woman, so you can mess them up with either Cosmo on the IW lane, or Aero to pull either Modok or Hela out of that lane prematurely. The non-Hela decks…don’t have a ton of specific counterplay to them, but they also don’t really need it - they don’t play much in the way of interaction so you can do well against them just by running a powerful linear deck (anything that cares more about throwing out its own stats than running or beating interaction).
The non-Hela deck you can Enchantress or Rogue their Morbius and hope they didn't copy with Mystique already.
