KM i love your first half breakdowns of the decks in general and then the card by card breakdown. i know you just put up what you are doing during stream and it's not 'planned' or anything however I would really like to know your thoughts as you're going through your turns. i see you spinning in your chair so i know you're mulling over options and i would love to know what those thoughts are as I try to follow along and guess what you're going to do. a lot of times you make a different play than i thought of and i always wonder why and how i could better think through my turns. thanks and please don't stop playing Snap :)
I've been playing a different Galacta deck that has Gorr in it too. Not as powerful as this one (I don't have Sebastian or Hope), but I'm having more fun with this card than I expected!
Ive been playing a Wiccan Surfer deck fairly successfully. One of the reasons being is my opening hand is usually top heavy. Quick Silver and Domino force early plays and of course being a Surfer deck your hand is otherwise full of 3s. Wiccan if drawn is automatically active. I'm wondering if I can fit Galacta into this paradigm!??
I’ve been playing this but I cut gwenpool for Cassandra. You definitely feel the loss of power when you don’t have galacta as gwenpool felt like your backup plan on turn 4 but on the flip side you have a second 3 drop other than hope and copycat you can put down on 3 without any regrets or feeling like you’re wasting points on Shaw or brood curving them out that also is a win condition against Arishem. Other cards I’ve considered is US Agent and makkari but haven’t tried them yet.
So devastated that I missed the Copycat week. I only came back to the game during Fenris week, so I had no idea. if she is still as prominent in decks next week, I will just have to take the plunge and token-purchase Her, I think... Wee Xmas prezzie to myself. ha ha. It's not often I see a card in a spotlight week that I need (other than new one, ofc) so it's especially wounding to miss one I do need, and then that card ends up being incredibly relevant.
sera is worth it if you play luna. this is because you can play sera on 4. I have a version with hit monkey that aims to just vomit your hand on 6, and get a big money. It works in surfer, too. for this to be worth it, you need the payoff, however. If you have a reason to be discounting all your cards so much, and take advantage of it, then it's good.
Yeah, Galacta is broken... Dear god, I already thought Rocket and Groot was cracked but when they come out in surfer this will possibly break the entire meta... Oh yeah, also I listened to what you said about Gwenpool and Copycat (though I didn't replace her) and because of that I gave Gwenpool the bench in favor of Nakia
Did you swap out Copycat? just interested to see. as far as I can tell, she's super-relevant this week. I am obvs not cooking with her, as don't have. I don't have gwenpool neither though. I may end up having to buy copycat if she remains as relevant in the coming weeks.
@D00M3R-SK8 No, BUT she is pretty replacable. Just put in a three drop that you wouldn't mind playing early like MMM or something. Gladiator or Cass isn't bad either
uhhhhhhhh did i? just in case, her main role is to get to 6 energy on 5 so you can play two threes. sometimes you want 7 on 7 so you can slip a 4 and a 3 in, or a 3+3+nova
@@KMBestInASnapyou did. I’m missing both Hope Summers and Gwenpool. Any suggestions on replacements? Played a couple games with USAgent and Mobius M Mobius in those slots and they felt really good based on current meta but would love to hear your thoughts

snowguard especially good if you end up going the wican route. looking forward to wican surfer next week, once peni comes out. I don't have kate yet, so that puts a dampener on wiccan stuff for me. I think peni will fill that void for me until the kate spotlight in jan, though.
I really wanna get this pass as I have everything for surfer but Shaw but I’m afraid galacta gets nerfed into the ground after season is over. Is that likely or is she prob just gonna get a slight tone down?
now i'm really starting to regret skipping on shaw every time he's shown up in caches... even then I'm still missing Hope and Gwenpool so i'm likely going to spend this season playing Goon Knight and whatever junk Misery brew I come up with
I dunno man, Galacta seems to me a rework of original Elsa bloodstone but without the full lane restriction. They should return Elsa to plus 3 since she is a 3 cost now.
This is the closest I think I've ever been to being able to play a deck featured here, and my most prominantly missing card is Absorbing Man, so I'll get him eventually since he's series 3 (and the other one is Hope Summers). Instead I'm running Iron Heart and Wolfsbane. And I have Rogue instead of Red Guardian to help deal with things like Iron Man, Wong (who I can then play Surfer onto), and Gorr. Is it better to have Gwenpool or Sera?
I really want Galacta because I love Surfer decks since the beggining and I play him even when he has been not good, but I dont want to spend on the game when I want them to fix the card adquisition system, it feels kinda wrong that if I'm no happy with their practices, I'll give them money, also I'm not the kind of player that buy every season pass, I have done it only on Surfer focused cards, I did it for Sebastian Shaw and for Gwenpool, I had to skip Hope and wait like 6 weeks to get her from random daily rotation token shop after he was avalible, so annoying tho
@KMBestInASnap is luna better than Hope I haven't bought her yet, but she seems like a better stated, easier to pull of hope that's usable in more lines and less bricky
Wongless Surfer died when Arishem released. Arishem put so much pressure on the deck. Before i was running Hope and a selection of tech cards and beef and seeing great success. Once Cassandra Nova became a mandatory inclusion, the deck got harder to play. Without Cassandra Nova, Shem beats you down because your output is too low and predictable and youre vulnerable to a ton of tech and cant reliably deploy tech because of Arishems random gameplan. In non Arishem matches, Cassandra is next to worthless when played late so you HAVE to play her on turn 3(esp after her nerd). But then she puts pressure on Hope Summers who also wants to be played turn 3 so that you can play into her on 4 to get 6 energy on turn 5. With Luna Snow and now Galacta it seems that SD is trying to help the deck out.
fighting this shit with wiccan basically boils down to if you red guardian their galacta/they throw prio for you then you win, otherwise you might as well retreat i;m just waiting for alioth to come up in my token shop so I can have another way to meaningfully shut the deck down late
She sounds like a really powerful card but man, I'm really not happy with the direction the game has gone since it launched. I'd like to play this deck (I have the other pieces), but I don't really want to give $10 to SD and reward them for their shady business practices. I figure when/if I quit, I'll be gone for good (this game is NOT the type of game you can take a break from and come back to). Thanks for the info, though, KMB!
Well, i'm missing Hope, Shawn and Gwen. I might not get Galacta cause of that and also because i don't usually buy the pass and also because the spotlight caches sucks, which are the reasons I don't own those cards. What a loop.
Galacta is still worth imo, she can also be good for kitty stuff, probably one of the better arishem cards out there, patriot stuff likes her, and I believe there's more that I'm forgetting too
Would replacing hope with snow work? I was thinking of it for the weekend quests. Giving your opponent energy vs not having to play in the hope location.
@ciciosweep Cosmo isn't much of an issue, just play your ongoing and none reveal 3 drops there. I do see a little Alioth, but the real evil is shadow king, and ghost helps a bit against him, he is your worst enemy
Played 6 games with this deck so far, the first 5 games I drew Galacta only once on the final turn, still 4:1. Last game Kamar-Taj Gwenpool, multiple hits on Sebastian Shaw, Galacta turn 5, Shaw and Surfer (not into Kamar-Taj, cause unused Nocturne on the other side and no priority) on 6, Shaw 25 power. 5:1 fun.
. 4/12, 4/15 if ramped on release. By the time F2P can get her it will be hard nerfed. I like this game very much. But I really hate the treatment they give to season pass cards. It's pure, meta warping pay-to-win.
One of my last hot takes was that surfer needed a buff and could go back to +3. Of course they would sell us the medicine of Galacta instead of the cure.
Any good 3 drop. Iron Heart can be good to boost Shaw and the Broods even more, Wolfsbane can be good points, Wave if you have Sera to get her out early, Rogue is good tech similar to Red Guardian, Luke Cage depending on what decks you're going up against frequently, etc.
@@smartpatrick8690 You must be watching a different version of the video because I just double-checked and no he doesn't. (You can see the whole deck if you squint during the in-game sequence, I don't count that.)
snap has become the most toxic card game out there. no real improvements on new updates just more ways for them to make more money. if you r a new player good luck. if u r a f2p good luck. if u r a whale spend your money on some other game or I don't know buy a new computer instead cause this game is greedily expensive 4 no reason at all.

Will say personally for me
-1 Nova
-1 Copycat
-1 Red Guardian
-1 Gwen Pool
+1 Zabu
+1 Luke Cage
+1 Mobius
+1 Anti-Venom
That's why Marvel snap's gameplay is magical, you can do many things with the same theme

#Rank 3 KM..
Okay, I respect that 💯
I think you skipped talking about Hope, but if I understand it correctly, the main use cases are 2 3-drops on turn 5 and surfer abs on turn 6?
yep
Thanks for the video and the deck.
Can we replace hope with luna? What about a gwen replacement? Symbiote spiderman?
About to take this KMBoost to the ladder
I'm so happy this Surfer deck only has 2 cards I'm missing instead of like 5
lmao
One of those being surfer itself?
@nwsmate just Shaw and Hope
gwenpool and hope for me
And Surfer is one of those rare archetypes where you can easily sub in other cards and be just fine.
What 2 or 3 drop card replaces Gwen once you decide she’s not worth it?
I’d like to know also. Nakia probably
Come on man it's a surfer deck. Literally just pick a good 3 drop.
Depends on what you find yourself facing a lot of. Loki or Mr. Neg - Mobius. Affliction - Luke. Surter- Shang, or maybe your own Surter.
