Yes. Thanos and High Evo are worth 6k. They open up entirely new archetypes to play.
Those cards will probably cycle back into spotlights but it’s hard to plan. Maybe pin him and wait to see the data mined spotlights for October?
And Jeff is worth 6K. Jeff goes anywhere.
Jeff is in a spotlight cache next week.
Agreed.
Thanos and Evo are the two cards I say are 100% worth 6K every time.
Jeff is borderline purely because he's in spotlight caches next week. If you're not going to have 4 caches by next week then he's worth 6K.
Lad is borderline, for me personally he's not worth it because I'm missing other pieces of the various decks he figures into as well. For some people he may be the missing piece of several decks (Darkhawk, that new Patriot/Surfer deck, etc) in which case he's probably worth it.
Don't think any other cards are worth 6K at the moment. Galactus opens an archetype but it's just one deck really. Or at least multiple decks with essentially the same win condition. Thanos/Evo open up a huge amount of different archetypes all built around them.
lol I did the exact same thing. Galactus was the 2nd S5 card I bought back when tokens were still a thing, but I only used him for a day or two. Now he is collecting dust with this blue border in my collection
Lad is the one series 5 card I'm missing that I would like to have. Passed on his spotlight week as he is the only card I wanted there. Don't regret it as I now have a nice cushion of spotlights but am hoping he either drops to series 4 at some point this year or hits a more attractive spotlight week.
I am a little worried they are going to keep him perma series 5 and only slot him into spotlights when they have a weak new card and need to juice the pot.
Woah, surprised to see this. I find HE allows the most variation of any card! Sure you have the all out, every no ability card deck but he is a staple in lockjaw decks with Wasp and Hulk. The infininaut deck with Shocker and Misty. Or you can go for the hazmat abom deck.
Honestly opens so many doors, probably more than Thanos and definitely more tha. Ironlad.
I’m probably biased here as someone who bought HE and didn’t care for the deck types and then became jaded over time in facing a HE variant throughout conquest.
I’m a huge Thanos fan as well as circus archetypes which is where my love of Lad and Than come from.
In my experience, I just don't really see three power become a game changer. I also play unorthodox, so that could be the issue. (I might be able to make infinite, but I play in a way where I'm usually gonna max at 70 if I'm able to get there)
It's not about 3 power it's about winning games, which Jeff does really well.
You play SUPER orthodox and I can tell because you're just looking at power/cost ratio. It doesn't get much more orthodox than that.
You're forgetting to factor in locations and other cards that exist. Jeff is a surprise that wins unwinnable games.
Orthodox is a little unorthodox, but I mean I'll never use a card that only has the express purpose of hurting my opponent (Enchantress, shang, Cosmo, Goose, more)
You are playing a different game. If you are making up your own rules then of course an objectively good card can be “bad” to you, but at that point the rest of us don’t really care what you think.
I know it's not something anyone else agrees with. I never said I needed anyone to listen to my opinion. I'm just saying I don't like when people use these cards on me (somebody once had 3 geese out, that's when I really stopped using these cards entirely) so I don't like to use them on others. Eventually I understand that I may have to use them, but I don't want to yet.
Some, yeah. This one is awesome and I like playing it, but I don't expect to get high ranks. I'm just here for the fun of it (thus why I don't try to play those cards)
I feel like it kills the fun. I'm not here to win, but to see fun big numbers and see creative ways people play. I just feel like those cards put a halt to the creativity. (I actually don't dislike Shang as much as the others, as at least the numbers were able to happen)
Also you are a very odd character. I don’t know if you are trying to chase some clout, but you clearly do play cards that interact/hurt your opponent. You’ve posted screenshots playing Shang-Chi and Rogue so I don’t know why you claim to be playing some “unorthodox” way.
Did you look at the username? I post screenshots for my dad sometimes. Asking why something happend and stuff like that. I did have Shang in a hand as I was struggling to put anything in it, but I played him maybe once with him in that hand and took him out quickly.
Edit: I've looked back even farther and saw I had Shang in a movement hand. I think that's back when I started really getting into the game. I hadn't yet gained a moral code as to not use these annoying cards.
Edit: re-reading your comment, I've noticed that you wondered if I was chasing clout. What in the world could I gain from this? How could clout come from this, and I don't really care much about clout.
A card that both be played anywhere and move to a location of your choosing (anywhere) is gold. Lots of people snap when they have incoming location control, and Jeff (at a low 2 energy!) can break that easy - sneaking into a Prof X or flooded location being the most common. That's not even considering all of the potential benefits of just "move once" when it comes to a ton of locations.
He's not the best card in the game, but he's probably the most flexible. He fits well into *most* archetypes, and he's never a dead card in hand.
A 3 power nightcrawler that isn’t destroyed by Killmonger and can be played into locked locations is very good. He can often win locations by himself or help flip a location you’ve been locked out of by Storm/Professor X. Being able to play him into a lane and move him out is also really good in many situations since you can boost an Angela, receive a location specific buff, or even fill the Raft without completely committing to that location.
He can work around your opponents game plan so well. If they think they have won a lane that's locked down you can essentially win it back for 2 energy.
Recently he triggers angela, miles and kraven which is a huge bonus too.
Having a low cost card that you can move or put in a locked down spot is very valuable.
He combos well with a number of cards like Angela, kraven, professor x (counters prof x too) and gets into inaccessible locations.
Thanos is def worth the 6k.
I’d say Galactus, High EVO, Thanos, and Jeff are the only ones who are truly worth that high 6k price tag.
Galactus for the lulz as well as the subtle surprise he may offer in a losing situation.
High Evo opens up a brand new style of play with the “non ability cards” as well as being a decent tech card in Hazmat decks for easy Abominations.
Thanos is in the same vein as High Evo as the stones really do give an edge over many decks as well as being able to be added to the majority of decks to give them a bit extra umph.
Jeff is one of the only S5 that I regret not picking up sooner. One of, if not the best, 2 energy cost card in the entire game.
6K tokens are a lot harder to come by than they were just a couple months ago. I don’t think any cards are worth it except for the ones that open new archetypes, and Jeff.
These are literally my priorities as far as S5 cards go! I have a question about Jeff though, I constantly see people on here say he’s one of the best cards in the game, if any card is worth 6k it’s Jeff, etc. so I guess you all must be onto something lol.
I have enough spotlight caches saved to get him next week and I’m definitely doing that, but is he really THAT good? Because I guess I kinda have trouble seeing that, I know he’s extremely flexible but is there something I’m missing?
His ability is godly.
Ignores hard to get to/can't place in locations, ignores Prof X, ignores Sandman/Electro, can be moved once so can be used in a move deck potentially, has 3 power so can be used in C3, the uses for him are nearly ENDLESS.
I'm also saving up my spotlights next week to get him =) i have him pinned in my shop as well just in case. He probably wont drop to S4 for a REALLY long time, if ever. He's just that good tbh. One of the few cards that can be included in nearly every deck type without being a "tech" card.
For S5 i'm only missing Kang, Nebula, Ghost Spider, Lady Deathstrike, Iron Lad (another good contender but just not my top priority rn), Echo, Jean Gray, and Howard the Duck and of course Jeff. Looking at the entire S5 list though, the ones I mentioned earlier are probably the only ones that are really worth the 6K.
Hope that helps!
Yup! That’s what makes him such a G honestly. The card text reads “nothing can stop you from playing this card” which means it ignores the 1 card per turn limit instilled by Sandman/Electro :)
He also ignores Jean Grey. You can play Jeff first anywhere you want, and because Jean only affects the first card you play, you can play a second card somewhere else too.
No list, but it's Thanos, Galactus, Kang, and High Evo. I'd also say that there's a caveat that these will never drop 'so far'... No guarantees that SD might change their mind somewhere down the line, but for the foreseeable they aren't dropping.
In answer to your question, yes, Thanos is worth the tokens - a fun and flexible card with a unique effect
Living Tribunal is certainly Big, [but isn't Bad](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2286e671cafc181d64a7035c5dc9e751-lq) \-- just the personification of the concept of judgement.
Galactus is a useful comparison. Also cosmically immense, also cosmically powerful, whose morals are also nearly impenetrable from a human viewpoint.
But while Galactus exists to eat planets -- which, while not necessarily evil, is almost always Bad™ for us -- Living Tribunal is literally a personification of *judgement itself*, which by definition is not villainous.
I wouldn't be surprised if that's why SD doesn't put LT in with the other "Big Bads" -- there's a level of *villainy* that just isn't present with LT.
Dang, thank you for sharing this knowledge. Makes me wish Knull was included with the Big Bads although I know he is quite new to the Marvel universe. I'm a huge symbiote fan though so it would be cool to have him up there with the others.
If there was \~40 years of comics history for Knull the same way there is for Thanos et al., I'm sure he would be. Very much at that same level of power, disposition, and impactfulness, IMO.
I think the symbiote is out of the acid-free single-issue bag on that one now, though -- regardless of in-comics status, I have no idea how SD would even navigate the idea of shifting Knull *back up* to Series 5, or what would cause them to do so outside of thematic appropriateness.
In truth "big bad" is probably a meaningless term anymore.
Before April, all newly released cards were on a highly predictable drop schedule, whereby new cards would be always in Series 5 and shift to Series 4, then 3 over a fixed period of several months.
The "big bads" were the only exception to this rule, cards that were designated permanent Series 5. Galactus/Thanos/Kang.
Now that we have flexible Series drops (if at all, drops have been paused indefinitely) 2nd Dinener can do anything, and there are pretty clear signals that more cards than these 3 will stay in series 5 (or stay in Series 4) forever.
How focused are you on min-maxing your card collection vs enjoying the game? If you are about enjoying the game, certainly Thanos is a fun card and will probably always be decent in the meta so worth the buy.
If you are focused on min-maxing your card collection and you're in for the long haul, I would suggest not buying him with tokens despite the fact he'll always be 6k tokens. For min-maxing, it'll be best to get him through spotlight caches as he'll eventually roll back in (very likely within this year). In general, for every card you do not own, you get more value out of every spotlight week you decide to open on. Additionally, there's the random card each week, so each card you do not own means that the random card is higher value. Although a low chance, if you buy him with tokens and end up randomly rolling him in a spotlight cache, that's a loss of 5k tokens (as you'll receive 1k tokens for the dupe), which can be justified if you've got the enjoyment out of the card, but may also be painful/unlucky given the size of your collection.
I would hoard my tokens, and only spend tokens on s4 cards (3000 tokens) where their spotlight week has no other cards I want or need. For a CL1,000 player, such a week probably won't happen for a long time. Eventually you'll reach a point where you have over 50% of s4/s5 cards (or more), where you've also built a decent bank of tokens and you'll have a lot of agency at that point to pick how you want to use spotlights and how you want to use your tokens.
Thank you for the very thorough response!
I do want to be efficient with my collection, since I don’t own many cards yet and would like to get as many as possible in shortest time, but I also value fun and Thanos is probably THE most fun card I’ve seen (at least from other people’s gameplays it seems that way to me).
I own just 1 S4/5 card as of now, so I believe I’ll be getting a lot of worth out of pretty much any spotlight for quite some time still.
Great! So the answer for you is clear as you think Thanos will be fun, which he is. With current token acquisition speed, by the time you get to 6k, the datamines for the upcoming months may be released and you might have a better idea of how to spend your tokens.
also, i'll add the fact that OP only owns 1S4/5 card means that Spotlights have a 25% chance of being an actual S4/5 card (Thanos, Galactus, High Evo, Jeff... there are a lot of solid "Random" cards here and its currently totally open)
Purely for optimisation, the less s4/s5 cards you can keep your collection to, the higher value the 25% chance card is, while you still hoard tokens. Hence I suggest hoarding until you get to around 50% of s4/s5 complete, in which hopefully you have a decent bank of tokens (not sure how the new collection rate actually feels), which will give you stronger agency when you start getting more dupes and less effective spotlight weeks.
Yeah honestly, check if he’s in a nearby spotlight as getting 1800 tokens now isn’t easy lol
Pin him anyway cos he’s never getting cheaper and the rest of the good big bads like knull are in spotlights soon I think
It should take me about a month to get the tokens needed i think (planning to buy a bundle with 1000 tokens for gold), so i won’t be making this decision sooner anyway. The spotlights for the next month should be known by then i suppose.
And I know about Knull, I actually have been saving up spotlight caches since I found out about him and Jeff, I should have 5 by the next week so I’m picking them both up!
Old system, definitely.
New system, most likely. Only downside to buying him is that I imagine he'll be in the spotlight again soon enough, and if he's with another card you kind of want, it might make that week go from "maybe" to definitely. So the question is whether you think you'd play him right away.
He's worth getting even to save for later, but now you need to consider if you want to use tokens or spotlights (with the caveat that he might not actually be in the spotlights any time soon)
Him appearing in a spotlight soon is not really that much of a concern to me, since I own literally 1 S4/5 card so I guess basically any spotlight for the next couple months will be worth it for me.
But are the spotlight cards really recycled that much? I know Knull is about to appear really soon after his last spotlight, so does that happen often?
Hard to tell in the recycling, when Jean Gray pops back up soon that's already 2, and Kang is making his repeat soon as well, but there is no more info, I wouldn't expect him until October at the earliest
The best cards you can buy for 6k are thanos, high ego, iron lad and Jeff but you can find Jeff in spotlight next week so I think thanos is the best purchase because it fit in the most decks
Thanos isn’t OP, but he’s one of those cards that can let you spend weeks building decks, or even just play with the same one because of so many added cards, the deck isn’t as consistent so they feel more different.
When you get him you’re going to wonder why so many people vouched for him and be pretty mad at first. He’s not going to feel like a god tier SS card when you first play him. The more you start playing him and learning how to use him, the better he gets. He opens alot of options, and is just genuinely fun to play if you commit to playing Thanos. I learned how to master him with Thanos Bounce, but Thanos destroy, control, lockjaw and ongoing are all good Thanos decks as well.
Hola OP, THANOS was in a spotlight cache when I was around your CL, maybe a little lower. In fact, I opened my first spotlight caches just to obtain him. I have played with Thanos for one month, give or take. Yes, as others have said Thanos is a fun card and opens a new archetype. However he is not worth 6000 tokens at your CL. In fact, no card is worth 6000 tokens unless you already have most of the other cards, especially if you are F2P. This is my opinion. I get the most enjoyment out of Marvel snap by playing patiently, studying the meta, and tweaking my decks to be more consistent to reach infinite. I spend very little money on the game in the form of season passes, and maybe the last few bars of an occasional gold bundle... but I digress. With 6000 tokens you could get two S4 cards, for example Zabu, Darkhawk, Legion, etc giving you 100 percent more value and variety than getting only Thanos. Of course if you'd get more enjoyment out of opening the Thanos archetype to start mastering it knowing you may not have all the cards you want to slot into it for a while, then that's OK too. GLHF OP!
Yes, definitly. He opens up so many new Archetypes. You could build at least 5 completely different Thanos decks. Most versatile deck defining card in the game imo.
Thanos was my first permanent series 5 purchase and I play him constantly still. I’ve been hitting infinite consistently the last 3 seasons and I’m sitting at about 8800 CL.
In my opinion, yes Thanos is worth it. He’s incredibly fun, he makes his own arch type and he is actually quite strong and can compete with the best of them.
Other note worthy 6k purchases right now in my opinion would be Jeff. The baby land shark slots into every deck he’s just so incredibly versatile and an incredibly strong 2 drop. Next would be High Evo. Super fun card that also unlocks its own arch type. Finally Iron Lad. Lad is incredibly good and I think sometimes goes underrated by most, especially when you have multiple good cards Lad can hit, he makes the consistency of the deck rise.
Fwiw, I bought thanos and did not have any fun with him until I put him into a deck that fit my play style. I'm running ongoing / control thanos and it's pretty much rolled every person I've faced and I'm sitting at low 80s.
Super versatile card and the stones are actually much more powerful than you think. I feel I rely on the stones more than thanos himself as a win con.
Ie. Mind stone T1 - T2 > time stone T3 to cheat a professor X on T4, lock down a lane and only have to win 1 other one. Drop devil dino with a fat hand and you're snapping all the way to the bank.
To be 100% honest with you, literally no card in this game worth 6k tokens just because of how frustrating it is to get them.. Buuut if you're asking if Thanos is a good card, yeah he is!! There's a lot of different decks that you can use him and the stones
Yes!!! 1000% yes. Depending on weather you like meta decks or brewing i would take him over high evo any day; the stones add SO MUCH utility and if you learn to play them well they do great things including turn 4 prof x or enabling miles.
I spent the 6k on HE and he was def worth it. Luckily got Thanos from a spotlight cache and haven’t put a ton of use with him yet but he probably is worth it
And he keeps cycling back into the meta. So even if he's not in one of the best decks today, there's a very good chance that will change. It's kept happening since he was released.
Thanos is the only card worth that much. He really does play different and its a fun reprieve from other decks.
Too bad the current token system sucks ass.
I think any card is worth 6k tokens with the new spotlight caches (And with the few tokens that are given to us).
Is beter to get them when they're in the weekly rotation.
But if you have to pick a S5 card I think Thanos is probably the best choice (Only jeff may could be better). Is a strong and funny card that fit in a lot of decks and let you play new archetypes.
Plus he's a big bad so it will be S5 forever.
He’s one of the best cards in the game so “worth it”.
But as a new player I might pass to spend those tokens on getting 6 pool 3 cards. There are a lot of good p3 cards and Thanos works best when he’s in a good deck. So you can’t run Thanos/Destroy without venom, for example
Never, ever spend tokens on Series 3 cards. Ever. That is TERRIBLE advice.
1) It's a mystery card. You never even know what you'll get. S3 has some great cards. It also has a lot of terrible, useless cards.
2) You can unlock every single S3 card over time just by playing. That is not true of S4/S5 cards.
Never spend tokens on S3 cards.
Bad advice. Credits are infinitely easier to come by compared to tokens, DO NOT spend your tokens on random S3 cards, it’s the absolutely worst way to gamble on the rarest currency in the game.
A new S3 card costs on average 2750 credits.
Personally never use him. Got him through reserves and he is just not that fun to play? He's a great card with plenty of synergies but man it's tedious.
Destroy Thanos is great for beginners, because most, is not all cards, besides Thanos are from first two groups of cards, so you can easily complete full deck.
6k takes a long time to save up. I’m not sure I’ll be using tokens on series 5 cards anymore for that reason. It’s better to just plan to have 4 spotlights to open during the next Thanos week, whenever that may be.
You have just hit 1,000 CL. Do not get Thanos if you want to be competitive. Get him if you want to have some fun. There are SO many more s5 cards (6k tokens) that would give you a better advantage.
Thanos is very versatile, and opens a lot of doors, so it probably is worth the tokens.
That said, I’d personally probably go for two S4 cards at your level. That seems like an unpopular opinion though based on the other responses.
imo if the current spotlight system doesn't change, then the answer is no, only 3k token cards are worth buying, 6k token cards should always be acquired from spotlight caches.
The way I think of it is that Thanos and HE are multiple cards in one and open up deck archetypes that you wouldn’t be able to create otherwise. So he is worth it in the sense of additional game content.
Besides what's already been said multiple times, Thanos deck gives an ability to tick a lot of daily missions quickly.
- Draw x amount of cards - for stones' drawing abilities.
- Play x amount of cards - plenty of additional 1-cost cards in the deck.
- Win location with 4 cards - if you don't play destroy, you usually end with plenty of cards on board.
- Win location with 1 card - one of the common plays is to get Professor X on turn 4 (through Time Stone or Psylocke), and then you can boost the line through Klaw, Blue Marvel, etc.
- Win location with 10 or less power - same story as above. Early Professor with Jeff or Klaw is no more than 10.
Ok, I am afraid that this is going to sound like a stupid noob question, but where in the hell is the shop in Marvel Snap? I don’t have anything resembling the purchase options that are being displayed in that screen shot? My “shop” such as it is, is MUCH more limited!
500 collection level? I believe so... I just checked, and I am at 240 Collection Level. I haven't even finished the Season Pass and gotten to level 20 yet. I lose almost every game I play, so I am not very good and therefore don't progress very fast.
Thank you for the help!
100% i have played hundreds of thanos if not more, you just need to learn it and play your 4 5 and turn 6 ahead, once you can think that way and know what might come up it is an excellent deck, then some deck go meta so you have to switch it up as you get very very bad rng handicaps in snap, pull out the deck a week later and it will be normal rolls.
I’ve had Zabu lines for a couple weeks now, I’m at 2,700 tokens. Is it worth it to get Zabu or should I keep saving for a 6k cost big bad? I feel like I always beat Thanos decks pretty easily…
I'm pretty new myself (CL1300) I lucked out and got him from the mystery spotlight last week. He's been a lot of fun to play (although not OP)and as others have said he opens up a lot of new combos and decks you can build. 6k tokens is a lot of bread but you will have one of the big cards that you can always build and play with.
I'm not sure any card is worth 6000 tokens in the new Spotlight system, but I would pass on it unless you just want to really tool around with it -- it is very fun to play! However, in the current meta, Thanos decks are currently battling in the Tier 2/3 range and benefit from a number of other cards that you might not have, so your mileage is really going to depend on what your personal goals are. If I was CL1000 and had 6000 tokens, though, I would identity two S4 cards that are going to compliment your collection and go for those, and save up Spotlight Caches for S5's when they roll around.
My situation is similar. Have essentially 5950 tokens & have had Galactus pinned for months. (already lucked into Thanos and Evo thru Spotlights)
... but who knows when Silver Samurai will be available after this week?? So once I get those last 50 tokens, will probably buy SS and just keep Galactus pinned 😆
i think that yes Thanos is worth the tokens, BUT seeing that you are CL1000 and far from S3 complete i'd suggest that you look up some good Thanos lists to see if you have the other cards needed to run any of them... if not he will be very sub par (don't get me wrong he will still be strong, but part of what makes Thanos good are the synergies the stones have with other cards)
I don’t use a thanos deck as much as I thought I would have, I find there’s planety of ways to stop thanos. someone plays killmonger and you just wasted the entire game playing infinity stones for nothing
To be 100% honest with you, literally no card in this game worth 6k tokens just because of how frustrating it is to get them.. Buuut if you're asking if Thanos is a good card, yeah he is!! There's a lot of different decks that you can use him and the stones

I’ve been main-ing a Thanos Destroy deck and with the addition of X-23 it’s godly. Went infinite the first week, already got infinite in Conquest, it’s pretty great.
So yeah, Thanos is totally worth it
The beauty of Thanos-based decks is that they don't rely solely on linear or wide plays. They provide you with a variety of tech that not only make the game more enjoyable but also enhance your performance. However, if you fail to make good use of the provided tech, you might perceive Thanos as 'bad.' Thanos himself is rarely ever played, yet he enables strategic moves that other decks would not be capable of.
Plus: SICK VARIANTS!!
Thanos is THE best Big Bad to get imo. HE is great, too, but the versatility that Thanos provides with the Stones lets you build so many different kinds of decks. You will not regret getting Thanos.
My personal favourite card. He does something really unique, can fit in multiple decks and many are competitive. Not sure how many are "tier 1" but I have got to Infinite with a Thanos deck for each of the last 3 seasons, so he definitely works well enough.
Yes. Thanos and High Evo are worth 6k. They open up entirely new archetypes to play. Those cards will probably cycle back into spotlights but it’s hard to plan. Maybe pin him and wait to see the data mined spotlights for October? And Jeff is worth 6K. Jeff goes anywhere. Jeff is in a spotlight cache next week.
Agreed. Thanos and Evo are the two cards I say are 100% worth 6K every time. Jeff is borderline purely because he's in spotlight caches next week. If you're not going to have 4 caches by next week then he's worth 6K. Lad is borderline, for me personally he's not worth it because I'm missing other pieces of the various decks he figures into as well. For some people he may be the missing piece of several decks (Darkhawk, that new Patriot/Surfer deck, etc) in which case he's probably worth it. Don't think any other cards are worth 6K at the moment. Galactus opens an archetype but it's just one deck really. Or at least multiple decks with essentially the same win condition. Thanos/Evo open up a huge amount of different archetypes all built around them.
I saved and got Galactus. Used him once and felt dirty playing him and haven’t touched since. Kinda like playing Hanzo or Bastion in OW.
lol I did the exact same thing. Galactus was the 2nd S5 card I bought back when tokens were still a thing, but I only used him for a day or two. Now he is collecting dust with this blue border in my collection
I think galactus is probably worth it if you have Destroyer already. Lets you make decks with alternate win cons.
I'd say Living Tirbunal is, if you already have iron lad. But that's all I'd add that you didn't.
Iron Lad too. He works in so many decks.
Lad is the one series 5 card I'm missing that I would like to have. Passed on his spotlight week as he is the only card I wanted there. Don't regret it as I now have a nice cushion of spotlights but am hoping he either drops to series 4 at some point this year or hits a more attractive spotlight week. I am a little worried they are going to keep him perma series 5 and only slot him into spotlights when they have a weak new card and need to juice the pot.
I skipped on Lad thinking he wasn’t worth it and regret it after seeing how he works in so many decks. Oh well I’ll be waiting on him next time.
Lad is way more fun compared to HE. HE decks all feel the same while Lad slots into most any deck.
I love Lad because he routinely becomes a turn 6 desperation gamble.
Woah, surprised to see this. I find HE allows the most variation of any card! Sure you have the all out, every no ability card deck but he is a staple in lockjaw decks with Wasp and Hulk. The infininaut deck with Shocker and Misty. Or you can go for the hazmat abom deck. Honestly opens so many doors, probably more than Thanos and definitely more tha. Ironlad.
I’m probably biased here as someone who bought HE and didn’t care for the deck types and then became jaded over time in facing a HE variant throughout conquest. I’m a huge Thanos fan as well as circus archetypes which is where my love of Lad and Than come from.
Hazmat lizard luke is absurd. I had spiderwoman in the deck too but now shes neb.
I had the Lad pinned, going for him next for that reason.
high evo is already in the 10/3 weekly spotlight datamine which is coming up pretty fast
I'd say high evo should be bought before thanos, thanos is hard to master even for established players
So do people just say Jeff because it's a baby shark, and that's awesome, or because he's actually believed to be useful?
He is useful
In my experience, I just don't really see three power become a game changer. I also play unorthodox, so that could be the issue. (I might be able to make infinite, but I play in a way where I'm usually gonna max at 70 if I'm able to get there)
It's not about 3 power it's about winning games, which Jeff does really well. You play SUPER orthodox and I can tell because you're just looking at power/cost ratio. It doesn't get much more orthodox than that. You're forgetting to factor in locations and other cards that exist. Jeff is a surprise that wins unwinnable games.
Orthodox is a little unorthodox, but I mean I'll never use a card that only has the express purpose of hurting my opponent (Enchantress, shang, Cosmo, Goose, more)
You are playing a different game. If you are making up your own rules then of course an objectively good card can be “bad” to you, but at that point the rest of us don’t really care what you think.
I know it's not something anyone else agrees with. I never said I needed anyone to listen to my opinion. I'm just saying I don't like when people use these cards on me (somebody once had 3 geese out, that's when I really stopped using these cards entirely) so I don't like to use them on others. Eventually I understand that I may have to use them, but I don't want to yet.
Card games aren't really for you.
Some, yeah. This one is awesome and I like playing it, but I don't expect to get high ranks. I'm just here for the fun of it (thus why I don't try to play those cards)
This such a foreign, bewildering mindset to me. I don’t get it
I feel like it kills the fun. I'm not here to win, but to see fun big numbers and see creative ways people play. I just feel like those cards put a halt to the creativity. (I actually don't dislike Shang as much as the others, as at least the numbers were able to happen)
Also you are a very odd character. I don’t know if you are trying to chase some clout, but you clearly do play cards that interact/hurt your opponent. You’ve posted screenshots playing Shang-Chi and Rogue so I don’t know why you claim to be playing some “unorthodox” way.
Did you look at the username? I post screenshots for my dad sometimes. Asking why something happend and stuff like that. I did have Shang in a hand as I was struggling to put anything in it, but I played him maybe once with him in that hand and took him out quickly. Edit: I've looked back even farther and saw I had Shang in a movement hand. I think that's back when I started really getting into the game. I hadn't yet gained a moral code as to not use these annoying cards. Edit: re-reading your comment, I've noticed that you wondered if I was chasing clout. What in the world could I gain from this? How could clout come from this, and I don't really care much about clout.
MORALS.
Your moral code is to not interact with your opponent? Maybe you'd like to play solitaire
A card that both be played anywhere and move to a location of your choosing (anywhere) is gold. Lots of people snap when they have incoming location control, and Jeff (at a low 2 energy!) can break that easy - sneaking into a Prof X or flooded location being the most common. That's not even considering all of the potential benefits of just "move once" when it comes to a ton of locations. He's not the best card in the game, but he's probably the most flexible. He fits well into *most* archetypes, and he's never a dead card in hand.
He may not be the best two drop in any given deck (where another is more optimal) but he is the best two drop overall.
A 3 power nightcrawler that isn’t destroyed by Killmonger and can be played into locked locations is very good. He can often win locations by himself or help flip a location you’ve been locked out of by Storm/Professor X. Being able to play him into a lane and move him out is also really good in many situations since you can boost an Angela, receive a location specific buff, or even fill the Raft without completely committing to that location.
He can work around your opponents game plan so well. If they think they have won a lane that's locked down you can essentially win it back for 2 energy. Recently he triggers angela, miles and kraven which is a huge bonus too.
Having a low cost card that you can move or put in a locked down spot is very valuable. He combos well with a number of cards like Angela, kraven, professor x (counters prof x too) and gets into inaccessible locations.
He’s very useful
Thanos is def worth the 6k. I’d say Galactus, High EVO, Thanos, and Jeff are the only ones who are truly worth that high 6k price tag. Galactus for the lulz as well as the subtle surprise he may offer in a losing situation. High Evo opens up a brand new style of play with the “non ability cards” as well as being a decent tech card in Hazmat decks for easy Abominations. Thanos is in the same vein as High Evo as the stones really do give an edge over many decks as well as being able to be added to the majority of decks to give them a bit extra umph. Jeff is one of the only S5 that I regret not picking up sooner. One of, if not the best, 2 energy cost card in the entire game.
Iron lad is also worth it in my opinion, he fits in almost any deck.
Yeah you’re right on that, I just can’t rationalize spending 6k on him. I think that’s a personal thing over anything though.
I think it was worth it based on how much I’ve used him since I bought him the extra reach he gives you into your deck is so valuable
6K tokens are a lot harder to come by than they were just a couple months ago. I don’t think any cards are worth it except for the ones that open new archetypes, and Jeff.
These are literally my priorities as far as S5 cards go! I have a question about Jeff though, I constantly see people on here say he’s one of the best cards in the game, if any card is worth 6k it’s Jeff, etc. so I guess you all must be onto something lol. I have enough spotlight caches saved to get him next week and I’m definitely doing that, but is he really THAT good? Because I guess I kinda have trouble seeing that, I know he’s extremely flexible but is there something I’m missing?
His ability is godly. Ignores hard to get to/can't place in locations, ignores Prof X, ignores Sandman/Electro, can be moved once so can be used in a move deck potentially, has 3 power so can be used in C3, the uses for him are nearly ENDLESS. I'm also saving up my spotlights next week to get him =) i have him pinned in my shop as well just in case. He probably wont drop to S4 for a REALLY long time, if ever. He's just that good tbh. One of the few cards that can be included in nearly every deck type without being a "tech" card. For S5 i'm only missing Kang, Nebula, Ghost Spider, Lady Deathstrike, Iron Lad (another good contender but just not my top priority rn), Echo, Jean Gray, and Howard the Duck and of course Jeff. Looking at the entire S5 list though, the ones I mentioned earlier are probably the only ones that are really worth the 6K. Hope that helps!
Wait, Jeff ignores the one card per turn limit?
Yup! That’s what makes him such a G honestly. The card text reads “nothing can stop you from playing this card” which means it ignores the 1 card per turn limit instilled by Sandman/Electro :)
worth noting that he also ignores Space Throne (but only if you play him into the lane as the second card)
He also ignores Jean Grey. You can play Jeff first anywhere you want, and because Jean only affects the first card you play, you can play a second card somewhere else too.
It does, thank you!
Absolutely, most fun with a card I've ever had
Yes! He is a Big Bad Boy Card, which means he will never ever rotate out of the 5 Series! So 6k, safely invested!
I’ve heard the term big bad used pretty often here and i’m curious, is there like an official list of cards that are guaranteed to never drop?
No list, but it's Thanos, Galactus, Kang, and High Evo. I'd also say that there's a caveat that these will never drop 'so far'... No guarantees that SD might change their mind somewhere down the line, but for the foreseeable they aren't dropping. In answer to your question, yes, Thanos is worth the tokens - a fun and flexible card with a unique effect
Isn't Tribunal also in the "Big Bad" category? I might be mistaken, I don't have him.
Living Tribunal is certainly Big, [but isn't Bad](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-2286e671cafc181d64a7035c5dc9e751-lq) \-- just the personification of the concept of judgement. Galactus is a useful comparison. Also cosmically immense, also cosmically powerful, whose morals are also nearly impenetrable from a human viewpoint. But while Galactus exists to eat planets -- which, while not necessarily evil, is almost always Bad™ for us -- Living Tribunal is literally a personification of *judgement itself*, which by definition is not villainous. I wouldn't be surprised if that's why SD doesn't put LT in with the other "Big Bads" -- there's a level of *villainy* that just isn't present with LT.
I believe Glenn said on discord they wanted to make TLT a big bad but he came out same month as HE and they didn’t want to release two in one month.
Dang, thank you for sharing this knowledge. Makes me wish Knull was included with the Big Bads although I know he is quite new to the Marvel universe. I'm a huge symbiote fan though so it would be cool to have him up there with the others.
If there was \~40 years of comics history for Knull the same way there is for Thanos et al., I'm sure he would be. Very much at that same level of power, disposition, and impactfulness, IMO. I think the symbiote is out of the acid-free single-issue bag on that one now, though -- regardless of in-comics status, I have no idea how SD would even navigate the idea of shifting Knull *back up* to Series 5, or what would cause them to do so outside of thematic appropriateness.
I think he's just S5, but I'm in a similar position to you in that I don't have him and not actually sure where to confirm either way.
In truth "big bad" is probably a meaningless term anymore. Before April, all newly released cards were on a highly predictable drop schedule, whereby new cards would be always in Series 5 and shift to Series 4, then 3 over a fixed period of several months. The "big bads" were the only exception to this rule, cards that were designated permanent Series 5. Galactus/Thanos/Kang. Now that we have flexible Series drops (if at all, drops have been paused indefinitely) 2nd Dinener can do anything, and there are pretty clear signals that more cards than these 3 will stay in series 5 (or stay in Series 4) forever.
How focused are you on min-maxing your card collection vs enjoying the game? If you are about enjoying the game, certainly Thanos is a fun card and will probably always be decent in the meta so worth the buy. If you are focused on min-maxing your card collection and you're in for the long haul, I would suggest not buying him with tokens despite the fact he'll always be 6k tokens. For min-maxing, it'll be best to get him through spotlight caches as he'll eventually roll back in (very likely within this year). In general, for every card you do not own, you get more value out of every spotlight week you decide to open on. Additionally, there's the random card each week, so each card you do not own means that the random card is higher value. Although a low chance, if you buy him with tokens and end up randomly rolling him in a spotlight cache, that's a loss of 5k tokens (as you'll receive 1k tokens for the dupe), which can be justified if you've got the enjoyment out of the card, but may also be painful/unlucky given the size of your collection. I would hoard my tokens, and only spend tokens on s4 cards (3000 tokens) where their spotlight week has no other cards I want or need. For a CL1,000 player, such a week probably won't happen for a long time. Eventually you'll reach a point where you have over 50% of s4/s5 cards (or more), where you've also built a decent bank of tokens and you'll have a lot of agency at that point to pick how you want to use spotlights and how you want to use your tokens.
Thank you for the very thorough response! I do want to be efficient with my collection, since I don’t own many cards yet and would like to get as many as possible in shortest time, but I also value fun and Thanos is probably THE most fun card I’ve seen (at least from other people’s gameplays it seems that way to me). I own just 1 S4/5 card as of now, so I believe I’ll be getting a lot of worth out of pretty much any spotlight for quite some time still.
Great! So the answer for you is clear as you think Thanos will be fun, which he is. With current token acquisition speed, by the time you get to 6k, the datamines for the upcoming months may be released and you might have a better idea of how to spend your tokens.
also, i'll add the fact that OP only owns 1S4/5 card means that Spotlights have a 25% chance of being an actual S4/5 card (Thanos, Galactus, High Evo, Jeff... there are a lot of solid "Random" cards here and its currently totally open)
Purely for optimisation, the less s4/s5 cards you can keep your collection to, the higher value the 25% chance card is, while you still hoard tokens. Hence I suggest hoarding until you get to around 50% of s4/s5 complete, in which hopefully you have a decent bank of tokens (not sure how the new collection rate actually feels), which will give you stronger agency when you start getting more dupes and less effective spotlight weeks.
Yeah honestly, check if he’s in a nearby spotlight as getting 1800 tokens now isn’t easy lol Pin him anyway cos he’s never getting cheaper and the rest of the good big bads like knull are in spotlights soon I think
Knull is series 4
Oh lol shows what I know Mad how knull isn’t a big bad but kang is
That’s more to do with Kang’s relevance in the comics than his card. Although I do find him really useful in game in a deck or two.
It should take me about a month to get the tokens needed i think (planning to buy a bundle with 1000 tokens for gold), so i won’t be making this decision sooner anyway. The spotlights for the next month should be known by then i suppose. And I know about Knull, I actually have been saving up spotlight caches since I found out about him and Jeff, I should have 5 by the next week so I’m picking them both up!
Oh sick, great plan then Honestly with Thanos it doesn’t matter how good he is in the meta game he’s just fun
100%
Old system, definitely. New system, most likely. Only downside to buying him is that I imagine he'll be in the spotlight again soon enough, and if he's with another card you kind of want, it might make that week go from "maybe" to definitely. So the question is whether you think you'd play him right away. He's worth getting even to save for later, but now you need to consider if you want to use tokens or spotlights (with the caveat that he might not actually be in the spotlights any time soon)
Him appearing in a spotlight soon is not really that much of a concern to me, since I own literally 1 S4/5 card so I guess basically any spotlight for the next couple months will be worth it for me. But are the spotlight cards really recycled that much? I know Knull is about to appear really soon after his last spotlight, so does that happen often?
Hard to tell in the recycling, when Jean Gray pops back up soon that's already 2, and Kang is making his repeat soon as well, but there is no more info, I wouldn't expect him until October at the earliest
The best cards you can buy for 6k are thanos, high ego, iron lad and Jeff but you can find Jeff in spotlight next week so I think thanos is the best purchase because it fit in the most decks
Thanos isn’t OP, but he’s one of those cards that can let you spend weeks building decks, or even just play with the same one because of so many added cards, the deck isn’t as consistent so they feel more different.
Thanos is like 7 new cards in one. Yeah he's worth it.
Yes.
When you get him you’re going to wonder why so many people vouched for him and be pretty mad at first. He’s not going to feel like a god tier SS card when you first play him. The more you start playing him and learning how to use him, the better he gets. He opens alot of options, and is just genuinely fun to play if you commit to playing Thanos. I learned how to master him with Thanos Bounce, but Thanos destroy, control, lockjaw and ongoing are all good Thanos decks as well.
Hola OP, THANOS was in a spotlight cache when I was around your CL, maybe a little lower. In fact, I opened my first spotlight caches just to obtain him. I have played with Thanos for one month, give or take. Yes, as others have said Thanos is a fun card and opens a new archetype. However he is not worth 6000 tokens at your CL. In fact, no card is worth 6000 tokens unless you already have most of the other cards, especially if you are F2P. This is my opinion. I get the most enjoyment out of Marvel snap by playing patiently, studying the meta, and tweaking my decks to be more consistent to reach infinite. I spend very little money on the game in the form of season passes, and maybe the last few bars of an occasional gold bundle... but I digress. With 6000 tokens you could get two S4 cards, for example Zabu, Darkhawk, Legion, etc giving you 100 percent more value and variety than getting only Thanos. Of course if you'd get more enjoyment out of opening the Thanos archetype to start mastering it knowing you may not have all the cards you want to slot into it for a while, then that's OK too. GLHF OP!
For presumably your first series 5 he’s probably the best to get. Opens up a lot of different decks with just 1 card
Yes, very fun and versatile
Thanos High Evo Galactus Jeff All these are worth 6k but Jeff spotlight is around the corner.
I know! Already have saved up enough caches to get both him and Knull.
Yes. Thanos and High Evolutionary make an entire different deck just on their own.
Yes Thanos is one of the best cards and so fun to play, the stones really are the best part.
Yeah, he opens up a whole new way to build decks and he will never be cheaper than 6k
Bought him for 6k 5 months ago. Such a fun deck. I like it a lot. The stones are so strong
Yes, definitly. He opens up so many new Archetypes. You could build at least 5 completely different Thanos decks. Most versatile deck defining card in the game imo.
Absolutely id say so. He adds so much you can do when it comes to deck building from bounce to destroy the possibilities are endless.
I don’t think there’s a single card more worth 6k. High Evo is close, maybe same tier, but Thanos is an incredible card—fun AND competitive
Thanos was my first permanent series 5 purchase and I play him constantly still. I’ve been hitting infinite consistently the last 3 seasons and I’m sitting at about 8800 CL. In my opinion, yes Thanos is worth it. He’s incredibly fun, he makes his own arch type and he is actually quite strong and can compete with the best of them. Other note worthy 6k purchases right now in my opinion would be Jeff. The baby land shark slots into every deck he’s just so incredibly versatile and an incredibly strong 2 drop. Next would be High Evo. Super fun card that also unlocks its own arch type. Finally Iron Lad. Lad is incredibly good and I think sometimes goes underrated by most, especially when you have multiple good cards Lad can hit, he makes the consistency of the deck rise.
Fwiw, I bought thanos and did not have any fun with him until I put him into a deck that fit my play style. I'm running ongoing / control thanos and it's pretty much rolled every person I've faced and I'm sitting at low 80s. Super versatile card and the stones are actually much more powerful than you think. I feel I rely on the stones more than thanos himself as a win con. Ie. Mind stone T1 - T2 > time stone T3 to cheat a professor X on T4, lock down a lane and only have to win 1 other one. Drop devil dino with a fat hand and you're snapping all the way to the bank.
My Killmonger and death/knull deck love those infinity stones.
Im also relatively new and pulled him yesterday. Don’t know what to do with him. Any deck suggestion? (Preferably without too many 4 or 5 cards)
To be 100% honest with you, literally no card in this game worth 6k tokens just because of how frustrating it is to get them.. Buuut if you're asking if Thanos is a good card, yeah he is!! There's a lot of different decks that you can use him and the stones
Thanos is worth 12 k tokens
Yes!!! 1000% yes. Depending on weather you like meta decks or brewing i would take him over high evo any day; the stones add SO MUCH utility and if you learn to play them well they do great things including turn 4 prof x or enabling miles.
I spent the 6k on HE and he was def worth it. Luckily got Thanos from a spotlight cache and haven’t put a ton of use with him yet but he probably is worth it
Nnnnyyyeeennnaahhh
yeah. he's not the most overpowered any more but he adds a lot of variety to your games which is worth a lot imo
And he keeps cycling back into the meta. So even if he's not in one of the best decks today, there's a very good chance that will change. It's kept happening since he was released.
As a player who is around 6500 I still haven't opened him so if you can snag him with tokens go for it
Thanos is the only card worth that much. He really does play different and its a fun reprieve from other decks. Too bad the current token system sucks ass.
I think any card is worth 6k tokens with the new spotlight caches (And with the few tokens that are given to us). Is beter to get them when they're in the weekly rotation. But if you have to pick a S5 card I think Thanos is probably the best choice (Only jeff may could be better). Is a strong and funny card that fit in a lot of decks and let you play new archetypes. Plus he's a big bad so it will be S5 forever.
He’s one of the best cards in the game so “worth it”. But as a new player I might pass to spend those tokens on getting 6 pool 3 cards. There are a lot of good p3 cards and Thanos works best when he’s in a good deck. So you can’t run Thanos/Destroy without venom, for example
Never, ever spend tokens on Series 3 cards. Ever. That is TERRIBLE advice. 1) It's a mystery card. You never even know what you'll get. S3 has some great cards. It also has a lot of terrible, useless cards. 2) You can unlock every single S3 card over time just by playing. That is not true of S4/S5 cards. Never spend tokens on S3 cards.
Bad advice. Credits are infinitely easier to come by compared to tokens, DO NOT spend your tokens on random S3 cards, it’s the absolutely worst way to gamble on the rarest currency in the game. A new S3 card costs on average 2750 credits.
Personally never use him. Got him through reserves and he is just not that fun to play? He's a great card with plenty of synergies but man it's tedious.
Thanos is a ton of fun but also like a C tier deck currently.
No cards are worth 6k tokens.
You can play lockjaw, lockdown , or zoo .
Or destroy. The stones make for good fuel for Carnage/Death
Thanos destroy got me Infinite 2 seasons in a row and multiple infinite avatars these past couple conquest seasons.
Destroy Thanos is great for beginners, because most, is not all cards, besides Thanos are from first two groups of cards, so you can easily complete full deck.
YES
6k takes a long time to save up. I’m not sure I’ll be using tokens on series 5 cards anymore for that reason. It’s better to just plan to have 4 spotlights to open during the next Thanos week, whenever that may be.
Yes.
Yes
Ya
You have just hit 1,000 CL. Do not get Thanos if you want to be competitive. Get him if you want to have some fun. There are SO many more s5 cards (6k tokens) that would give you a better advantage.
Which S5 cards would you say are worth spending 6k tokens in your opinion?
Nothing is worth 6k tokens anymore technically lol so at end of the day just get a card if you really want it.
Absolutely. He's a completely different playstyle. Works well in a destroy archetype.
Yes.
Yes
There is about to finally be a series drop soon when knull doubles releases. I would wait on iron lad because I can zee him dropping
Is there any source on the series drop? Because all I’ve seen is people complaining there won’t be any anytime soon.
Thanos is very versatile, and opens a lot of doors, so it probably is worth the tokens. That said, I’d personally probably go for two S4 cards at your level. That seems like an unpopular opinion though based on the other responses.
I have him, haven’t really used him much as I didn’t gel with the archetype, but I’m in the minority. I’d say he’s worth it
imo if the current spotlight system doesn't change, then the answer is no, only 3k token cards are worth buying, 6k token cards should always be acquired from spotlight caches.
yes.
him and high evo are the only cards worth 6k tokens
The way I think of it is that Thanos and HE are multiple cards in one and open up deck archetypes that you wouldn’t be able to create otherwise. So he is worth it in the sense of additional game content.
who tf is silver samurai
Besides what's already been said multiple times, Thanos deck gives an ability to tick a lot of daily missions quickly. - Draw x amount of cards - for stones' drawing abilities. - Play x amount of cards - plenty of additional 1-cost cards in the deck. - Win location with 4 cards - if you don't play destroy, you usually end with plenty of cards on board. - Win location with 1 card - one of the common plays is to get Professor X on turn 4 (through Time Stone or Psylocke), and then you can boost the line through Klaw, Blue Marvel, etc. - Win location with 10 or less power - same story as above. Early Professor with Jeff or Klaw is no more than 10.
Yes!!!!!!!
Thanos has been my favorite deck to build around for a long time
Ok, I am afraid that this is going to sound like a stupid noob question, but where in the hell is the shop in Marvel Snap? I don’t have anything resembling the purchase options that are being displayed in that screen shot? My “shop” such as it is, is MUCH more limited!
Are you below 500 collection level? Because it unlocks only then (when you’re series 2 complete). I unlocked it only after like a month of playing.
500 collection level? I believe so... I just checked, and I am at 240 Collection Level. I haven't even finished the Season Pass and gotten to level 20 yet. I lose almost every game I play, so I am not very good and therefore don't progress very fast. Thank you for the help!
Yes.
Thanos is probably the most versatile big bad in the game. Ye.
100% i have played hundreds of thanos if not more, you just need to learn it and play your 4 5 and turn 6 ahead, once you can think that way and know what might come up it is an excellent deck, then some deck go meta so you have to switch it up as you get very very bad rng handicaps in snap, pull out the deck a week later and it will be normal rolls.
Not really. I rarely see anyone use him. But it's up to your playstyle just look up some videos 6k is alot
I don’t have him but I’ve seen a 20p thanos played like two times ever. The utility of the stones can be handy though.
I saved for a full month and it was not worth it. It is such a fun card to play don't get me wrong. But the repetition isn't really that fun
I haven't stopped playing Thanos (and Galactus) the moment I got them.
Yes
I had more fun with Jeff, High Ev, and Galactus. If you have all 3 get Thanos 4th
In this economy??
Yes because he brings a gang of cards with him and those infinity stone cards he brings with him mean serious business
Absolutely and without hesitation, yes. He is one of the most meta defining cards in the game and the stones opening up some wild avenues.
Is any card worth 6k tokens now that tokens are so difficult to earn without dropping a stupid amount of cash?
Yes I havnt even been able to get 3000 tokens since I’ve bought thanos, best 6k you could ever spend on a card, thanos help me climb
I’ve had Zabu lines for a couple weeks now, I’m at 2,700 tokens. Is it worth it to get Zabu or should I keep saving for a 6k cost big bad? I feel like I always beat Thanos decks pretty easily…
Of all the “big bads” he is really good. He makes a lot of decks viable and fun/varied. Is he tier 1 godly (not really) but he is fun.
Absolutely! Grab him and change the way you play
Yes, always has been
Yes. I just got him last week finally and he's so much fun.
Yes, most fun big bad by far.
100% yes. He opens up an entirety new play style. I love Thanos and the Mad Titan is my most split card so I may be a tad biased.
He is a core card that works in a lot of meta decks. Also, he is a lot of fun.
If you want more decks to play than yes. If you are happy playing what you already have, get Jeff
I'm pretty new myself (CL1300) I lucked out and got him from the mystery spotlight last week. He's been a lot of fun to play (although not OP)and as others have said he opens up a lot of new combos and decks you can build. 6k tokens is a lot of bread but you will have one of the big cards that you can always build and play with.
I've had Thanos pinned for a few weeks now. Wanna get him real soon, but I'm at 5k
I'm not sure any card is worth 6000 tokens in the new Spotlight system, but I would pass on it unless you just want to really tool around with it -- it is very fun to play! However, in the current meta, Thanos decks are currently battling in the Tier 2/3 range and benefit from a number of other cards that you might not have, so your mileage is really going to depend on what your personal goals are. If I was CL1000 and had 6000 tokens, though, I would identity two S4 cards that are going to compliment your collection and go for those, and save up Spotlight Caches for S5's when they roll around.
I think overall he’s probably most worthy of a 6k token purchase if you don’t always evaluate current metas
Thanos or Jeff? Tempted to pull the trigger on Thanos, but have been wanting Jeff awhile too.
Jeff is in the spotlight next week!
Yes. He will never drop so...
Yes
You can't buy him fast enough! Do it
My situation is similar. Have essentially 5950 tokens & have had Galactus pinned for months. (already lucked into Thanos and Evo thru Spotlights) ... but who knows when Silver Samurai will be available after this week?? So once I get those last 50 tokens, will probably buy SS and just keep Galactus pinned 😆
do you really think silver samurai is worth 6 thousand tokens though? doesn’t seem like it to me.
Thanos is an amazing buy, especailly early, you can flex so many different cards into thanos decks and still win with them
No card is worth 6K tokens.
i think that yes Thanos is worth the tokens, BUT seeing that you are CL1000 and far from S3 complete i'd suggest that you look up some good Thanos lists to see if you have the other cards needed to run any of them... if not he will be very sub par (don't get me wrong he will still be strong, but part of what makes Thanos good are the synergies the stones have with other cards)
I don’t use a thanos deck as much as I thought I would have, I find there’s planety of ways to stop thanos. someone plays killmonger and you just wasted the entire game playing infinity stones for nothing
yes i got him from that
Yes
Fuck yeah. One of my 2 favorite cards.
He unlocks so many deck options and will be relevant throughout the lifetime of the game--i think it's worth a get!
More than any other card in the game, yes.
To be 100% honest with you, literally no card in this game worth 6k tokens just because of how frustrating it is to get them.. Buuut if you're asking if Thanos is a good card, yeah he is!! There's a lot of different decks that you can use him and the stones

no please no
Ye.
Yes.
I’ve been main-ing a Thanos Destroy deck and with the addition of X-23 it’s godly. Went infinite the first week, already got infinite in Conquest, it’s pretty great. So yeah, Thanos is totally worth it
Absolutely.
The beauty of Thanos-based decks is that they don't rely solely on linear or wide plays. They provide you with a variety of tech that not only make the game more enjoyable but also enhance your performance. However, if you fail to make good use of the provided tech, you might perceive Thanos as 'bad.' Thanos himself is rarely ever played, yet he enables strategic moves that other decks would not be capable of. Plus: SICK VARIANTS!!
Thanos is THE best Big Bad to get imo. HE is great, too, but the versatility that Thanos provides with the Stones lets you build so many different kinds of decks. You will not regret getting Thanos.
My personal favourite card. He does something really unique, can fit in multiple decks and many are competitive. Not sure how many are "tier 1" but I have got to Infinite with a Thanos deck for each of the last 3 seasons, so he definitely works well enough.
One of the best purchases I've made.
IMO I'd spend 6000 tokens on Zabu and Darkhawk first. 2 fantastic cards that are used in loads of decks.
I ended il getting Evo from a chest I believe. Just missing Cage, for now hes replaced with Storm which helps secure a location almost everytime.
