After a good nights rest I do think I was a little hard on Malekith. I do think he's worth waiting on though after seeing the coming months of caches. I've seen a lot of content creators raving about him, but the decks they are slotting him in are very expensive... Toxic with 7 S4/5 or ronan with 8 S4/5. There are cheaper versions but I think he's a great card if you have the collection for him.
Wow, these comments echo exactly what I was thinking. I see other content creators sharing all their wonderful decks, but I don't have all the cards. I certainly can relate to your "buyer's remorse," especially when it came to Misery! I don't have any of the cards in this week's spotlight cache, but I think I will pass at this point. I appreciate your honest remarks. Thanks for the video.
Having a few higher cards helps but you could reasonably replace some of them. Symbyote Spider-Man could be absorbing man. You don’t need Grandmaster though he is nice. Wolfsbane would be a good card to slot in. I have found you generally just want him pulling big stats a lot of the time so Sword master is pretty good
He's going to be one of those cards people sleep on since the majority of the playerbase is horrible at theorycrafting so they netdeck everything and flock to braindead cards. With his statline allowing him to be affected by Ravonna that opens up a lot of possibilities. For example you have Ravonna in play, you've played Magik to get a T7 (since location change cards aren't seeing much play these days you shouldn't expect to get rugpulled) then play Mystique on T6 to copy his effect combined with a Frigga (another card that people are sleeping on) 0:02 to get a copy of that Mystique (hell, if things line up you'll also have an on-reveal 1drop to play after the Frigga for another boost) then you can go crazy on T7. He's definitely going to be sick in negative decks but he has serious potential in other decks too.
Very fun experiment putting him in discard! Though only having two cards to discard in Proxima and Apoc does feel bad a lot of the time I think. I sadly have to skip the guy cause I’m looking forward to Fenris Wolf and Gorr. I think Moon Knight shenanigans might be really cool with Fenris and Gorr in Negative.
I still think Mal is hot garbage since he has a mediocre statline for his cost and his effect is nowhere near as good as people are making it out to be. You're much better off playing your 1-3 drops when you want to play them to maximize the chances of them having the proper impact along with reducing the chances of them being countered. The decks that he's "working" in were perfectly fine before he came along and actually work better without him due to his randomness and possible negative downsides (I've wrecked so many hopes and dreams with Cosmo and/or Echo after he's been played).
Malekith in this deck is really nice.. actually looks fun. Not getting him still with all that's coming out and my keys situation but man... A little fomo huh
3:45 -- Thena is still really solid right now in the Agent Venom-Kitty Iron Man-Klaw-Mystique type build from last season. I don't get to play as much this week, but I've already climbed the ladder efficiently with that deck. If you suspect SK, then you have to properly plan youar grower locations to minimize his impact (Speed sep from Thena sep from Iron Man/Klaw and Mystique'd stuff if possible against SK). I am liking USAgent right now due to Surtur prevalence, but don't often play him against others (hurts my IM/Klaw flexibility, but NOTE if you are Mystique-ing one of those USAgent doesn't hurt Myst)
2nd straight week I got a dupe as well which feels real bad as someone still 3.5k CL (altho it only took me 2 keys for thena, probs wont open for maliketh as the decks he's in are pretty expensive) I really hope they fix card acquisition but that probably won't happen lmao
@patches3 the dupes are a struggle. Malekith is probably a good card but I started salty lol. You're right though the decks he's shining in aren't cheap.
I feel like there is too much you are giving up with Malaketh in discard (swarms, collector, skorne). And the upside isn’t enough as most of his pulls are not amazing. Really gambit is the best pull. The rest are just ok.

@brendangallagher6496 It needed skorne added back in, and it's not going to feel great when he pulls her. It's definitely giving up a bunch of cards that a lot of people would consider mainstays.

I’ve been liking Malekith in Wiccan shell. Getting a draw that goes to the board is pretty good value.
The gambit snipes are the backbone of every good discard deck lol
@cainenovak6131 No better feeling than calling your shot with him, haha.
Gorr is going to be great for Mr Negative decks, I think.
He's going to be one of those cards people sleep on since the majority of the playerbase is horrible at theorycrafting so they netdeck everything and flock to braindead cards.

@DrStryde Scorn is definitely needed. I think holding keys for those 2 may be the better option, but only time will tell.

I passed up on him, takes space. The upcoming cards are better so save keys n tokens.
Malekith might be good in zoo
Malekith in this deck is really nice.. actually looks fun. Not getting him still with all that's coming out and my keys situation but man... A little fomo huh
@ColHozeh Holding on to your keys is a good idea. The next couple of months are looking really good.
Bad curves is like the name of the game in discard. You feel so impotent and then on turn 6 you just win . . . sometimes.
@JB_Emerson It really is. I feel its the same with Destroy as well.
1key 1 thena
Same, don’t think I even have the right cards to make a deck w her lol
@darknais @teminator365 I'm so happy for you... lol.
@ don’t worry, our luck will swap w yours when the Rivals season drops
@teminator365 Haha yeah it all comes around. Sarcasm aside I am happy you guys got her in 1 key!
I also just got her with one key. 😅

@rob77dp I am excited to finally play that complete shell, but don't have speed or USAgent but I think that will be fine.
I got Thena in one go, and kind of regret not getting Malekith first because I really don't know if i should key again
@shea42 I hear that. If I pulled Thena first I probably would have gone back and forth for sure.
@D4REPlays Your video really helped me make up my mind to probably skip him and Valentina, and save for the coming weeks, so thanks for that!

4 keys featuring Kang
@shanedbunting Oof... I don't know whether I would prefer a dupe or Kang, lol.
It was a good try with discard. I am passing on everything this month I think. I might try next week but I will see how I feel.
@horror2705 The next couple of months are making me reconsider whether I'm pulling anymore this month.
Last week i got a duplicate of namora too 😢
@TyrantTiger85 Once upon a time I would have been so excited to pull her in that random slot.

@brendangallagher6496 I really like the look of that but don't have Ronan sadly. Once I pull him will definitely be giving it a try!
2 keys malekith and Valentina… no thena 😭
@RealThurl Oh that's rough. Hopefully you can score another key before Tuesday?
Discard is the most awkward feeling deck to pilot lol.
