Board 8 > Marvel Snap Topic 4: Ermine didn't make a new topic after 500

(+) Yeah! (+)

Youre guaranteed 100 in every batch of 4 collectors reserves, must have gotten it first in your previous batch of 4 and last in your current batch of 4

actually by the math the longest you can go without getting any tokens is 84 CL

Is that on average kind of thing? Because theres no way.

In another "Why is this layout the way it is" comment, what is this Inbox system? Why do I have a hundred read messages that don't go away and why are they in no order I can understand? They aren't in sent order or anything.

Thats only if you already have a complete Series 3 though right?

I can't figure out how they played Leader on turn 4.

Middle location swapped power and energy.

Oh >.<

It was in their hand when The Peak activated, which made it 4/6

its not on average, and its not only once you have complete series 3. If you have series 3 complete then its even faster.

Heres how Collectors Reserves work:
-Starting from your first Reserve, every group of four you open will have exactly one of each of the following rewards:

-a series 3 card (or if you already have all series 3 cards, 400 collectors tokens)
-100 collectors tokens
-a cosmetic item (card variant, player icon, or title)
-currency (credits or gold)

The order you receive them is random, but you will always receive all four of these per set of four boxes. Since the order is random you could get the same reward type twice in a row like this:

Cosmetic
Tokens
Currency
Card

Card
Tokens
Cosmetic
Currency

and the longest you could possibly go between the same reward type is seven boxes:

Tokens
Card
Currency
Cosmetic

Card
Currency
Cosmetic
Tokens

since its 12 CL per Reserve, thats 84 CL.

additionally, in a set of 40 reserves exactly one of your series 3 cards will instead be a series 4 card. There is also a very small chance (you can look up the number, I dont remember it off-hand) that you can get a series 5 card, but I dont know if it is always in place of the series 4 or if it could be in place of any card.

Damn, that means my series 4 card was She-Hulk.

thats one of the best ones!

Meh. I don't have much use for her in a destroy deck, maybe my Hela or Apocalypse deck for turns when I don't have anything to play.

Do you have Death? As long as youve destroyed 4 cards before then, Wave on turn 5 into Death, She-Hulk, plus whatever other card you want is a staple of the destroy archetype

If you need the math:
Wave changes all card costs to 4
Death then reduces its costs from 4 instead of from 9, so you can play it for free if youve destroyed 4 cards
since you only spent 3 energy on turn 5, She-Hulk reduces its cost by 2 and now costs 2
Since this is turn 6, you have 4 energy left. Wave made every card cost 4 so you can play any one card thats in your hand, while your opponent can probably only play one card total

My series 4 card was Luke Cage

I see. I'll give it a go.

it seems very useful but I haven't really figured out how to use it well yet

The basic move is to pair him with Hazmat

The more complicated move is to put him in a Cerebro deck to help make sure they all stay at the right power

So far Ive gotten Luke Cage and Attuma. Ive made a Luke Cage Hazmat deck but havent used it yet. I might give it a try soon but I would really like to have Viper first.

Pssst don't play Wong against a Surfer deck without priority on the final turn.

Stole ability with Rogue, copied with Mystique, triggered Surfer 4 times.

I have a very shoddy Ghost Rider deck. Its amazing when it works but its so heavily dependent on luck 1) to pull a good first hand, then 2) that Blade and Swordmaster discard the right cards for Ghost Rider to pull, and then 3) that Ghost Rider doesnt accidentally pull some bullshit card. Definitely needs improvement but I dont have the right cards to make everything gel just yet.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/9/9/AAe3nCAAEEDv.jpg

Hmm Zabu is a little strange in that deck and also you only have 2 discards? Do you have Lady Sif or Black Cat?

I would definitely replace Sword Master with Sif on that deck. Your point of Ghost Rider is to discard your 5 or 6 energy champ, which Sif would do every time, so that Ghost Rider can pull them for 2 energy after Zabu. Plus, she would cost 2 energy after Zabu as well.

It was a strategy that was used against me earlier today. They used Ghost Rider to pull an Infinaut, destroy my Strong Guy with Shang Chi, and nullify my Ronan with Enchantress all on last turn. Absolutely livid by that turn of events, but it was super effective.

Oh hey i did. Hah.
not sure how i feel about crystal and morbius in this deck so far. The idea with crystal is that i can at least reshuffle if my hand is ass by turn 4. I dont think i have enough discard opportunities to make morbius shine. I want hell cow.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/9/9/AAe3nCAAEEFT.jpg

Because you have Zabu anyways you might want to consider Dracula instead of Morbius. That way if you end up with two of your heavy hitters on turn 6 they both get played.

I made a Lockjaw/Mr Negative deck and itsinteresting.

Any tips?

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/3/7/AAGQPmAAEEJB.jpg

No tips offhand as my negative deck is totally different and Ive never figured out lockjaw but Magik and Ronan side by side is pretty funny looking

ya zabu is not working out. Dont have dracula yet tho :(

also Im getting monetized. Ive bought the last couple season passes but now Im so starved for credits that that angela pack for $50 is looking tempting. Gonna wait till the new bundle is up tomorrow to see what comes up though

I dont know how I won this match. Jubilee almost failed me.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/1/9/AAe3nCAAEEKT.jpg

I mean, its almost certainly a bot based on the fact that they played a rock to bar sinister and their final turn was an Iceman and didnt retreat

I cant tell what bot names are like. Is BapperRackerk something a bot would have?

If playing rock on Bar Sinister after filling their board with Hobgoblins makes you a bot then I guess I'm a bot.

Found BapperRackerk.

I find the biggest telltale of a bot is (besides nonsensical moves that are too dumb to be a player) - constantly playing instantly every turn. Sometimes a player just makes a move before you do so when you end turn, the turn instantly ends, but if that's happening every turn even when you play quickly it's probably a bot.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/1/5/AAS3NhAAEELz.jpg

Let's fucking goooooo

Shes won many games for me, one of the best.

Lots of crazy variants like golden copies and inked versions is probably a bot too.

Hmm, I might like this Hazmat deck Ive got already even without Viper.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/8/2/AADIBqAAEEM2.jpg Fill them up with rocks, hit everything with Hazmat, then clean up my own side with Carnage, Beast, and Deathlok. Possibly send more Rocks/Hazmat if I scoop one or both of those with Beast. Patriot boosts the rocks if I cant get rid of them (and also buffs Winter Soldier, which is easy to forget about) and since Ive cleared space on the board late, Brood has room to get Patriot buffs too. I might swap Blue Marvel for something that puts a lot in one lane, maybe Abomination or Iron Man. Cosmo feels pretty replaceable (Shang-Chi might make more sense actually), and I could maybe even rethink the Patriot/Brood setup.

Black Widow is good in those decks too because it's basically a rock they have to play from their hand. Also Green Goblin

Figured out my Blue Marvel replacement: Doctor Octopus

high power and can secure an already-clogged lane for me

hngn do i do it

If I play Hobgoblin on a location where the opponent has Wong active, will he fly back at me?

Nope! It only doubles what is actually played on their side.

Also I got an amazing title. "Ego, Take The Wheel"

it's a pretty safe move, because it also means they can't Odin it back to you, because THEN it will double back since it's on Wong's side

they could Viper but that would be a terrible move because it would also send Wong over

If they play Odin with a Hobgoblin on their side, it will activate again and fly back to your side
