Hooray, daredevil in my store. Buying him because I think he should increase my deck win rate.

Captain Marvel bot

Higher Further Faster, Baby

Hello, I am a Captain Marvel Bot. Thank you for summoning me.

Here are all the rules of Captain Marvel so you can understand why she didnt move.

Captain Marvel's text says "At the end of the game, move to a location that wins you the game. (If possible)". The way Captain Marvel Does this is by moving herself to 1 location, the other location, and staying. If 1 of the choices results in the player winning the game, she will move there.

Rules:

1. Captain Marvel will not move if you are winning 2 locations

2. Captain Marvel will not move if you are tied in 1 location, but winning by more points in 1 lane than the other (you have already won the game).

3. Captain Marvel will not move if you are tied in 2 lanes, but winning the third. (you have already won the game).

4. Captain Marvel will move if you are losing all three locations. She prefers 1 location over 0, but not 3 locations over 2.

5. If moving to either of the other lanes would win the game, Captain Marvel will move to the one that wins the game by more points.

6. Captain Marvel will account for things such as Kun-Lun (When a card moves here, give it +2 Power) and Fisk Tower (When a card moves here, destroy it).

7. Captain Marvel will not move to a location with the kingpin, since his ability is still active.

8. Captain Marvel will account for buffs and debuffs that occur at her new location to her and other cards (Kraven, Lizard, Mojo, etc.)

9. Multiple Captain Marvels will not coordinate.Captain Marvels that came from Moon Girl, Bar Sinister, etc. will activate in the order they were revealed, testing one at a time. If 1 Captain Marvel moving wont win the game, they will all stay in place.

10. Captain Marvel and other \At the end of the game\ abilities take place in the order they were revealed. If Captain Marvel was played on turn 5 and dracula was played on turn 6, Captain Marvel will not account for the dracula activation. The same goes for an enemy Captain Marvel.

11. Captain Marvel takes place after At the end of the turn effects on turn six, such as sunspot, Attuma, Rickety Bridge, etc.

12. Captain Marvel can move to locations that have been stormed, sanctum sanctorum, etc.

13. Captain Marvel can not move in or out of locations that have been Professor X'd.

14. Captain Marvel goes off after Dark Dimension and Invisible Woman.

There's a bot on Reddit that lists out her rules but apparently reddit is down.

I know why it doesn't work (because it isn't an ongoing) but it's silly that Enchantress doesn't disable Lockjaw. Like how is Lockjaw's effect not considered an ongoing. So you can counter the cards coming out of Lockjaw somewhat but you can't counter Lockjaw itself. If they aren't going to let Enchantress disable it then there should be a reverse Goose. Like a 3 drop that doesn't allow 1/2s to be played there or something

Board state on the win. Hulks, shang chi and being able to move doing some incredibly heavy lifting

And then rather hilariously I messed up upgrading and thought I had 2 white frames to upgrade but actually only had 1 so ended up stuck 1 level short of cache with 75 credits (whereas I had greens that I could have done instead).

No problem. Throw together a deck of literally the first 12 white cards I come across in my list. And win. Matchmaking has to know I swear.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/7/5/AAFutCAAERzD.jpg

I hate people. Playing against a Shuri deck and he snapped. I knew he probably had me beat but was willing to eat the 4 cube loss just to finish my quests up for the day since it would finish up multiple in that one match. I don't even try play a combination of cards that has any chance of winning and just play for the quests. He aeros me on the last turn so I not only lose but also don't complete any of the quests either.

Obviously he wasn't to know what I was doing but irritating because had I actually played to win rather than the quests then I'd have won.

Only seen 3 of them and 2 of them I didn't really like (Birdman and Shape of Water). The other is EEAO which I liked so I guess that's my answer

The rest I haven't even heard of outside of like 1.

Oh Lockjaw in my shop. Now that is tempting. Obviously don't have Thanos but I'm sure plenty of other Lockjaw shenanigans work

A 5k version of Gamora in my store. Which she looks cool (so does base Gamora though) but I can't imagine paying 5k tokens for a variant

Ah maybe I did do a fast upgrade when I very first started playing.

Was able to find a fast upgrade in the store for +2 for 120 so just did that to fix it. The 20 wasn't going to be usable anyway and so it's basically the same as the normal 100 for +2.

Also booo I got to the end of my caches every 8 CL. Now it's every 12 (CL758) which is more than a days worth of credits so not even a box a day now.

My credit count bothers me so much. I have 270 right now but I don't know how to get it to be a 50 or 00 so I always end up just short of an upgrade.

Also with infinity splits you basically just have to keep rolling the dice until you get one you like? I got a green glimmer flare on She-Hulk on my second split which is cool but I dislike the foil background and I assume on the next split it's going to reroll both again?

Oh hey, Shadow King in my store. Shame he's 6k and not 1k otherwise I'd half consider it.

I feel like he should be an ongoing rather than on reveal though

Yeah, I have zero of those cards except Leech. What I had been doing is goose on 1 lane and storm on another but that doesn't matter when they Zola.

I think it's more frustrating because it's never a 1 loss retreat. They always snap before dropping Shuri.

Man, I really hate the Shuri > Big Unit > Taskmaster/Zola combo because it has so little counterplay and just doesn't really give a shit what your opponent is doing. Like you can shang chi but other than that there isn't much you can do after the Shuri comes down that I can think of? And they can do easily bluff because even if they don't have the taskmaster/zola do you really want to roll the dice on it.

Like give me some sort of dispel or something. I know enchantress exists but that doesn't work here. I mean something that reverts an opponents card back to it's default state before buffs

skullbone posted...

I'm running into this control deck so much right now it's crazy. Some youtube must have posted this as the METABREAKER or something.

Is it the one with Daredevil, Goose, Storm, Cosmo, Spiderman, Shang Chi, Prof X, etc?

If so there was a thread on Reddit a couple of days ago because I was like 'Well that's really similar to what I run, I'm just missing some cards'. I just made my own deck and didn't do anything meta but over the last 2 days I've run into very similar decks that I figured they must be running this

Pixel Storm. Thanks for nothing rewards! Pixel variants are so bad.

Relieved to get over the hump and to 65 though. After just bouncing around all yesterday and usually negative movement, was worried I'd get stuck in this bracket for a while.

Started the afternoon at 55.9. Got up to 59.0 then dropped all the down to 57.0. just got back up to 59.7 and I don't want to jinx it but please just get me over this rank wall.

His deck was fair so I'm not mad about the loss but look at this. For someone to have this many inked cards they have to be crazy high CL and I literally don't even have a single card at 2 splits yet. That's such a massive discrepancy in experience and tools available

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/4/0/AAFutCAAERX8.jpg

Unless it was a bit but it had a title and a unique avatar so I'm pretty sure it wasn't

So Kitty Pryde with Quinjet and cloning vat is going to be just stupid right?

And I assume Kitty Pryde with Beast is also going to be pretty great. Or any form of reducing her cost really

Just keep bouncing between 54 and 57. For some reason I just never get bot matches anymore. I've had 1 that I can remember over the last 2 days and that was after a losing streak so presumably a pity match

1 pixel and 1 chibi in my store but the chibi is an awesome one (Armor).

Why does Elektra have so many 1200 variants. She's always in my store with them

Didn't fancy gambling 8 cubes to see the result. If Hela is played and resurrects all the discarded cards then on a later turn Odin retriggers her, does she revive the same discarded cards again? Or can they not be resurrected since they already have been?

If they resurrect again even though they are already on the board, I lose. If they don't because they have already been pulled from the discard pile then I win (probably). But I really didn't want to gamble 8 cubes to find out

The win locations with over 20 power sucks for my deck but I need it complete to be able to get my next cache

Nah, they were all white border and not cards from my original deck. So just shitty RNG I guess

When you get District X do both people get identical cards. Because I just lost an 8 cuber and we had incredibly similar cards which I did not think would be the case otherwise I'd have never snapped.

Scarlet Witch onto Dark Dimension doesn't change the location after reveal on the last turn? Like I get it not triggering on initial placement but it should on reveal? Other on reveals still trigger.

Also guessing this guy didn't realize his taskmaster would copy his dark dimension reveal card and not the devil dino

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/6/3/AAFutCAAERLz.jpg

Even if they just gave her the greedy AI of the stupid bots, it would be better than what she did there since they at least avoid dark dimension and certain areas.

Also I don't care what they say about matchmaking but there's definitely something fishy. I've been playing for a few hours with no movement on the ladder. Decided to swap in professor X. I then immediately ran into 2 decks in a row than also ran Prof X despite not running into him a single time earlier in the day.

Goddamnit Agatha...

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/1/AAFutCAAERH3.jpg

I wish they gave her at least some competence where if she had a route to playing herself she would take it rather than just playing randomly unless there's enough energy to play herself

Just lost 8 cubes on worldship because I can't fucking count turns. He had a full location and I had 2 slots left. I nonchalantly drop a 5 cost She-Hulk on T6 thinking it's turn 5 and I can drop the winning card next turn.

May be the wrong move but think I'm gonna unpin Shuri. Some sort of change is coming and I'm missing so many cards that something more useful may come along since I'm missing the other parts of Shuri anyway (except Taskmaster). I don't really want to play that deck either

Like Daredevil, Death or Captain Marvel would probably increase my win percentage a decent amount since my deck is about controlling locations

Man, bounced around 44-48 all last night as I had previously posted. Then all today I bounced around 45-46 making zero progress. Login tonight and cruise from 46 to 55 in like an hour.

I wonder if I actually have a legit shot at getting to infinite even though I'm handicapped card wise by a lot. I had set a goal of at least 60 for this season but possibly 70. Now after going 20 > 55 so quickly I think 70 may be selling myself short. Although it's obviously going to get harder and harder the higher I climb.

For Thanos you could make the stones start inside the deck so quinjet doesn't make them cost 0. Then nerf some of the stones themselves.

For Shuri, you could theoretically lower her cost but make it so her effect only works that turn?

They really need to fix matchmaking and I'm sure it's been discussed plenty but their matchmaking is complete ass.

At CL667 and rank 45 it should be physically impossible for me to match up with full meta Thanos, Galactus, etc decks. Same for infinite card backs. Even the games that aren't those decks, it's so obvious that I'm playing against way higher CL than me by the cards used, card splits on the cards and the title / avatar combos which come from reserve boxes.

Like at CL667 and rank 45 I should be matching up against people who are like I dunno, 35-55 and CL600-900 or something. I'm at an awkward CL so recognize you can't just say 500-1000 since the 500s are so heavily disadvantaged.

I understand at higher CL it matching you up against people of any CL but when I'm so early in pool 3 I shouldn't be matching up against people with pool 5 cards (which are basically impossible to have at my CL) or people with massive pool 3 collections. And rank wise there is no reason it should ever match you up with people that far outside your rank no matter how good your MMR is or bad their MMR is. The rank system means people will naturally reach people of similar MMR / skill. It shouldn't go 'Well you're 80+ but shit MMR so play rank 40s' because you will naturally fall down to that rank. Same with a good MMR, you will naturally rise to a matching MMR

Lol. Back to back games. People need to GTFO with Galactus decks at my CL. I thought about gambling and Enchantress on the inevitable Knull drop but there's always the chance of Death too. Although I don't think it would have been free thinking about it as not enough cards destroyed (he destroyed 3 with cloak). Should have probably skipped and Enchantress with She-Hulk. Edit: NVM, I would have had prio so that wouldn't have worked.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/7/7/AAFutCAAEQ3t.jpg

I guess this is why Galactus decks are so good because even when you lose, it's only 1 cube.

I knew it was coming so I dropped hobgoblin but maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I should have dropped something else and chanced it with the stolen Knull

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/6/7/AAFutCAAEQ3j.jpg

I assume with Sauron you just run some sort of package with like Zero, Maw, Lizard, Shuri, Taskmaster, Typhoid Mary, Red Skull.

And then you supplement it with some things from Titania, Sunspot, Armor, Cosmo, Zola, Aero, She-Hulk, Dr Doom, Vision, Captain Marvel.

Like I don't know if that's good. Or rather I do know it's probably decent just not that I'm not sure Sauron really adds that much to the package. The deck is good outside the Sauron inclusion and there may be a better tech card that could take that slot

I am CL 667 and have 12 series 3. I don't know how many there is in the set but I think I saw 70 something somewhere?

Had a great run earlier to go from 38 to 48 but then a really tilting run to drop from 48 back to 44 and 0 cubes. Did manage to get back up a little bit to 44.7 but boy did that run suck.

Also really weird tonight. During that entire run I did not run into a single bot that I could tell (everyone had unique avatars and/or titles)

Gained 21 cubes on my lunch break which is really good considering there was an 8 cube loss to a bot in there.

Dropping wave in a TVA game is always funny, guy instantly retreated. Although the guy was running lockjaw and only had lockjaw down at the end of turn 3 with me having presence at 2 locations. So not sure what his actual plan was. Pray for Dr Doom?

This was satisfying even if it wasn't for snapped cubes. The far left was the location that grants that power to other locations until turn 6 when I dropped Scarlet Witch on it and White Queen on the midlane

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/2/AAFutCAAEQnE.jpg

Worldship. Dude snaps turn 4 then instantly retreats turn 5 on my hobgoblin reveal without me even getting to see what he laid down

I've yet to run into a Galactus but I also run stuff like Goose, Storm and Hobgoblin so it's possible I've run into them and inadvertently screwed over their plan. I've seen the things Koala highlighted quite a few times.

I honestly didn't realize how good she was until I kept running into opponents using her on me and pulling great cards. Like at a bare minimum she gives you great intel and sometimes a game winning play too.

I did just have someone retreat against me turn 6 after they stole a She-Hulk from me with her which would have guaranteed them a win if they played it. I assume it was a bot and the AI didn't factor in that the Sinister London would have forced the She-Hulk to a flooded location. Which would have given them a win at both locations and there was nothing I could do at either location to prevent it since I was full at London.

Just played against my first Thanos and won by Shang chi on his Thanos turn 6 after he snapped turn 5. Shang chi came from White Queen after he used Wave that turn.

Took me a second to work out why my doom bot didn't go into far left location so that was definitely a misplay by me that probably won me extra cubes (I'd have shang chi'd T5 otherwise)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/4/0/AAFutCAAEQX4.jpg

I've yet to run into a 6k card that wasn't generated by another card but it could be my CL protecting me from it since I think it's physically impossible to have the tokens to get a 6k card at my CL unless you had a ton of gold saved and used the token deals.

Run into lots of Shuri, Red Skull, Taskmaster type stuff though

Added White Queen to my deck which seems to have helped. Stealing Death's won me 3 matches by itself and it seems people are always surprised you have it (unless they are bots so don't care until you play it). I guess it isn't a guaranteed steal so that may be why.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/1/7/AAFutCAAEQMl.jpg

Up to rank 35 now (thanks new rank bonus!) and CL622. My pool 3 collection is coming along nicely, seems I've gotten pretty lucky with what I've gotten so far. In unlock order.

Wave
Destroyer
She-hulk
Dr. Doom
Goose
Patriot
Quinjet
Hell Cow
Mister Negative
Taskmaster

I had a guy once give me nothing but rocks and emote and snap. I had America Chavez in my deck though so it was just like whatever, slap this down and win.

Usually when I snap earlier they just retreat anyway. Most of my snapped wins actually come from the opponent snapping rather than me doing it which is probably a problem in itself.

I'd guess even the lower ranks suck now too though since everyone is down there. I've made 5.5 ranks progress since reset but to be stalling in the 20s is just annoying

I've actually never had a Big Mac. Although I'm sure most of the menu is equally as bad.

I'll sometimes do like Huey Magoo's, Chick Fila or Fresh Kitchen but I don't really do drive through food often anymore. I definitely used to do it a lot but would tend to go to Wendys over McDonald's
