The feature I want the most when it comes to cards and splits, is to be able to take any card that I've taken to infinity and change the border/background/effect to what I want. I want a card like Enchantress with the green nameplate to have a green border, but also 3D/animated!
25:39 Double her power is gonna be fine in an Elsa deck. You play her then she gets the plus three then doubles to 10. Behind her was Kitty so Kitty lifts up next turn and opens the spot back up. Or you Forge into her, Elsa bonus, doubt power. Honestly even a 1/4 isn't bad last turn if you must.
I would like to see that you could change borders down once you've unlocked them. So you can use the original artwork with a better fitting border than infinite
I've been asking suggesting the same thing. If the border change is too much work. I'd like to be able to rank down to the rare or epic version of the card once I upgrade a variant or card to infinite.
I really really want a draft mode. It's always my favorite way to play card games. Draft adds back that element of deck building from all players instead of the ladder copy pasta best deck
The thing with Nico that ppl aren’t really getting re: her randomness is that she becomes less random as the turns go on, because her spells don’t repeat during a game. The longer she’s in your hand, the more confident you can be in what spell you’ll get. Couple that with the fact that a lot of her spells have similar “types” of effects (play destroy and demon effects with a cheap and/or drawback heavy cards, play copy and buffing effects with lane-winner cards) and you can really cut down on the RNG.
The longer she is in your hand the less chance of hitting the spell you want occurs. If you play her turn 5 you now have 7 possible spells on turn 6. Play her on turn 1 you now have 5 turns to roll the 7 different spells. So the sooner she is played the more confident you can be with what spell you get.
One thing that i hope to see in Marvel Snap is introducing some kind of Tribal mechanic. Its so strange to me that all of the Avengers just flat out dont synergize with each other. Same for the Xmen really. Id love to see a sort of system where say if you have so many cards played from a certain "team" you get an effect that stays permanent throughout the game.
I'm with you, I play Dokkan Battle for the mobile. On there, it took a while. But they introduced teams where you can use together as in, "Family's", "Saga's" or even "Movie Villans".. So you actually have teams that work together as in the anime/show.. Would love to see X-Men or Avengers all have built in effects when they work together. Even a Wakanda team with the existing Black Panther characters.
I have certainly enjoyed tribe mechanics in other card games, but it does bring about the danger of deck creation being a bit too much on the rails in that you have very little creativity in mixing things up or adding your own twist and that would be especially true in a card game where your deck size is 12 cards.
I'm fine without it honestly. It's one of those things where it would be neat the first couple times you get to do it but it would make deck building less fun and would be bad for the health of the game. High Evo is the closest we have to that right now and it's been one of the most hated archetypes for months now
As a quality of life feature, I want the ability to undo a turn if the opponent hasn’t finished yet. I can’t tell you how many times I wished I could take back a turn and then have to wait knowing that I could have done something better.
@@machinayrequiem8596 i suppose, but I feel like marvel snap blends strategy with it also being bite-sized/“just one more round” So sure, I think, but often make my moves quickly because it’s a lighter game that’s only 6 rounds.
Same here got to the beginning/middle of series 3 within the first few months and lost steam. I’ve been back ever since the Draken season and am hooked again! The spotlight cache system is a game changer, the fact that there are 4-5 new cards each month is huge!
Alongside splits looking visually better, I think they should absolutely add a way to customize cards. I should be able to cycle through ever border, card effect, split background, particle effects and colors that I have specifically collected for a card. Lets say I split Jeff 10 times, I should be able to mix and match every cosmetic feature I've collected throughout those 10 splits. Then, rather than those splits taking up space in your collection, they can just collapse them into a single card for each base or variant card. I want my Jeff to be Inked, Grey border, 3D/Animated/Shiny Logo. I'd probably turn off the particle effect most of the time unless its a Kirby Crackle. But either way, I want to be able to customize my cards and variants. I hope they'll add that this next year.
For this reason, once I've levelled a card to Infinite, I cbf doing it ever again. Why tf do the cards have to have that HIDEOUS rainbow background? YEECH.
I have to say that I like the live format better than the recording. Even though I wasn't at the stream, I really like the Q&A section at the end. And it feels like I'm not losing anything in terms of quality, the episode looks great)
Half agree. Yes Nico will swing and miss, but as a 1 cost it'll just be upside or not played. Your deck shouldn't rely on a specific spell to function.
For 2nd year of Snap: * Arena-Mode * Friends! Guilds! Social Interaction! QOL: * Filter by upgradeable bound to existing decks * Mac Client * More Backgrounds/Splits * Play with Keyboard Shortcuts * Drop 4 and 5 cards finally to pool 3! * Muting of enemies * More Emotes/Texts * and tons more
I want a unlocked frame selector. I don’t upgrade my cards because of this. I don’t want to regret for choosing a bad frame. And it’s really easy to do, so i hope we will get it. Would be great.
Not sure if it’s coincidence or intentional. Cozy and Alex are facing at each other in the video. That’s good small detail to make it look like a conversation with eye contacts.
Nico is either going to be wild cause she can fit in a ton of decks, or a bust for not being reliable. I am personally leaning toward her being hard to use because it's not always a reliable draw.
I think she’ll shine most if people can work out a deck that has a ton of small ways to utilize as many of her spells as possible so she’s not sitting in your hand all game.
It’s a one cost card, not a 4/5 cost card. You just need one or two effect to go off and she’d be good. And if you draw her late you don’t need to play her, just like drawing bast on turn 5. Even just a 1-4 isn’t a bad card or just destroying a forge and drawing two cards.
I feel like a good feature to add would be the ability to choose the card borders after you upgrade the card The are cards that look better with a gold border than they do with an infinity border , why not being able to go back, I already payed for the upgrade
I didn't finish the episode yesterday, but I got to the Q&A about the two of them meeting, and I can just see Cozy and Alex hugging like at the end of Shawshank Redemption, with the orchestra swelling.
Awesome upload again! Thanks cozy. I was trying to re-watch the live broadcast on twitch because I could’t make it to the live stream. There seems to be an issue with the voice recording of alex, because I couldn’t hear him. I actually also checked previous vods on twitch of earlier this week and it was the same with all other people that you had on your stream.
I would love a prestige for cards that lets you choose which border you want on the card just to make it more unique and match whatever your background is
@@jack4386 Are you sure? I would expect whatever it merges with to blow up. Do you know how it interacts with Negasonic? I'd expect this to be the same, but I don't have her, so I don't know.
Would love to have a full art mode when you click the title to see the artist, some of art is lost when frame break, it’d be cool to see the entire piece, show love to the artist. And let the guy who did the most hated pixels go back and give it a second try.
The first suggestion from Cozy and Alex for stuff Snap should have in year 2 was spot on. Drafting is my favourite thing in all card games that it works with, or at least limited formats (to use an MTG term). Played so many prereleases in the past of TCGs I wasn't even fully collecting because it's just so much fun, felt a little more luck based but also not as pay2win. Social groups with rewards is a great call, I have many friends who have played Snap on and off and this sort of thing would definitely keep them playing more. Regarding Nico, she looks interesting and I'll be opening for her. I also wonder what other Runaway characters will appear in Snap down the line - bring in Old Lace and do something to tie it with the other raptors?
Oh and also, I don't know how I forgot - maybe because it's less exciting. Tracker on mobile would look bad but please let me click on destroyed/discarded and see a list, even if just names to scroll through.
“A lot of returning players coming back to snap” you’re so right, I left the week after they made spotlight caches and the last new card was Jean until now it’s gonna be a hard come back but it’ll be a fun one
Wow! You mentioned Jet Force Gemini. I didn't think anyone remembered that game. All facts about the 64. You had Wrestlemania 2000, Smash Brothers, Ocrania of Time. To many bangers.
One thing I want to see is once you upgrade a card, you can choose the border on it. So if you get a nice split and want to upgrade to see it a different border you can take it back if you want
I do think with Mysterio question, I believe do to the left most card being played first Cozy was right and thats exactly how it works. Plus same thing happens with Arnim Zola, left copied card is revealed first.
Alex trying to stop Cozy from burning gold to upgrade the Thanos 🤣🤣 Haven’t missed an episode, and I honestly look forward to these not even for Snap, just for the wholesome friendship and attitude of you two!
There should be a favorite deck feature, so the puts our best decks to the front. As well as favorite/default cosmetic for your card back, avatar, and title
Yay, Human Torch! I own multiple good Shang Chi variants, but nothing too exciting for Human Torch. Unfortunately Ghost Rider just got a great variant, so he didn't have a chance.
I'd like to see team affiliation bonuses. I used to play table top game called Hero Clix. Team affiliations were a large part of it. For example: X-MEN,AVENGERS,FANTASTIC 4, SINISTER 6,and they get bonuses as a team.
I'm late but here's a deck I've been doing. Ramp style, wolverine, dead pool , and nico. IF YOU RAMP UP NICO arnim her on turn 6, her double power spell will trigger. . AND when she's brought back with Phoenix force. At least with her it adds. A bit more ramp opportunity with her. She'll also make a copy of venom AFTER hes eaten her btw, if you used the copy spell
All of the effects are good with a bounce deck. Even the move one is good with elsa, and doubling nicos power after forging her is also a good play. Maybe even elsa her before
I want them to make it so you can select any border/background variation you have unlocked of a card. I had the perfect legion with a red border that complemented the card's background, upgraded it and it is not longer as cool
thank u cozy and alex this is the video i look forward to every week thanks for everything u guys do. i could relate to alex in not sleeping in a couple days but it was spiderman 2 such a good game.
About qol changes, I really wanna see an auto mute feature. At the start of each game, I always mute because the emotes can be pretty toxic sometimes. It's a habit at this point to mute my opponent every time, but it would pretty nice not to have to do that every single game. I also sometimes forget, and then they just do the "👍🏻" emote when they win, and it's pretty annoying
24:30 it might just be me but those two in a Daken/ Deadpool deck that already has the destroy engine could work fine with it. Not saying you want to pull this spell on purpose but with the other destroy elements and the synergy with the power boosters makes it so you can see a consistent benefit from that spell.
I think the thing with Nico is that her different spells all do so much, that I feel like they would be better suited across a bunch of different cards instead of all being packed into one card
So when Daken came out I made a Surf and Destroy deck. It was alright but it was before x-23 made destroy really sing. But if you use Nico to guarantee better tech, dropping turn 7 Surfer and Death is gonna be fun to try out. I think Brode was right when he said fans of toolkit cards like Thanos will love Nico. Her toolkit is going to be something to explore for weeks on end.
I think Nico with Phoenix Force will actually be super solid and underappreciated. Incredible use of the destroy and draw spell and the move right spell.
I don't see how she could ever be bad. I understand the consistency arguments, but I see her as more of a location card that you put in your deck. When you think of it that way she's no different from Legion.
I think some nice little quality of lifes would be things like maybe some new music once in awhile, maybe for at least conquest mode? Maybe some more sound effects or just graphical effects for more cards(Like Cyclops's lazer beam). That would be so sweet compared to some cards doing aboslutely nothing. Or maybe enhance effects as you upgrade the aesthetics. If it slows things down, then make it an option rather than a mandatory change.
Also, am I the only one thinking Nico in the Phoenix deck has a lot of utility? I think something like that which kinda has hybridized play lines can make use of a huge amount of these effects
I think some quality of life changes would be a friend system, maybe not as in depth as you guys were talking. Maybe start out being able to add your friends via your own code, friend requests after a match, maybr show case your favorite card atm. Im personally someone who love seeing stats as well, so being able to see wins or losses. Or my most played card would be a sick addition.
I want to see Variants be a larger part of the game. 1st- be able to pin variants in the store7 2nd- Have a variant wishlist (maybe 10 max) and the 48th open on Season Pass be a Guaranteed 1 of your 10 3rd- Have a variant exchange system where you can level up a variant to Infinity then sell it for a "Variant token". 1 token is an free blind open, 3 is guaranteed 1200 variant and 5 is a variant out of your wishlist. Variants can be a fun way to play without having to play well. Lose who cares I'm getting boosters and building a badass Variant collection. MORE GOLD also!
Given that there’s seven spells, I thought it was obvious that the spell depends on the turn since “the spells change each turn”, they’re speaking as if you can get any spell on any turn. Not that either party is inherently wrong, they could be right, but I highly doubt they’re going to let a 1/2 shuri exist purely by random chance. But maybe that’s just me.
Trading variants would be nice. Draft mode for sure. And finally, I think this game needs mini-sets that could be bought with in-game resources. Not in a seasonal way, but from time to time would be nice to give some spice to the meta.
id love a draft mode. Regardless if it actually gave you cards to keep, everyone being on the same level and increased variance in decks from having to construct one anew is so much fun in other tcg' s.
Another nice split! Do you time it for the RUclips ads too? It timed perfectly and left me hanging through two ads. I thought it was a gimme that cards would work together in some way. They want to encourage players to use the new cards and if players don’t have cards to support the new theme they’ll prolly go play something else…
For the guild- what if the game had a few cards of the week and if the guild got a certain number of victories with that card- everyone in the club/guild would get a unique variant available only for that week I also like the idea of talking about decks and sharing deck lists w/in a club Lastly what if there were 2-3 slots for a “guild deck” and guilds got some rewards for playing or winning with that deck? Maybe even allowing members to play the deck even if they didn’t own all the cards. That could be cool! Teammates couldn’t share cards but could share the experience of being able to play new cards
Nico is Legion 2.0. I've been saying that for almost 2 months. Busted for PF, move, and destroy. PF very specificly because almost all of Nico's effects are busted in PF.
21:08 when is there ever not a game where you wouldn't mind a scarlet with but you don't have her so you play your storm or Magik there instead? It may be the worst spell but it's actually very useful.
The main thing that I would like to see in Snap in the future is a dedicated PvE mode akin to Legends of Runeterra's Path of Champions mode. To me it's a super fun way to play the game without the sweat and toxicity of PvP.
I wish I could exchange a spotlight cache for collectors tokens. I've gotten more cards since spotlight cache started but it sucks that it's harder to get a specific card I want.
At first I wasn't too hot on Nico but after learning a little more about how her spells will work and thinking about how they can work in certain decks and alongside other cards, I now think she'll be a good 'wild card' for a lot of decks. Imo Nico will generally be decent (and not detrimental) to a deck but when her spells do line up she'll be able to add a lot of power or utility to a match. Personally im opening caches for her but mostly because I have 12 spotlights and 24k tokens saved so even of it takes 4 caches ill still have more than enough resources left. I do hope it's a one and done situation since I already have the wedding dress spotlight kitty variant (though I won't be mad if I open the new one) and though I usually don't mind Hipp variants (there's even a couple I prefer like Zabu and Mysterio), getting a Hipp from a spotlight just doesn't feel good imo.
My top wishes for year 2, are more quality of life changes: more deck slots, a better way to organize decks (by archetype). Currently, I've been organizing my deck types/archetypes via earned card backs. It's helpful to be able to view at a glance and immediately recognize: that's my destroy deck or that's my thanos deck etc. That said, it would still be nice if there was a more robust deck organizing system.
First ever LIVE Snap chat! And next week is episode #52! Sincerest thanks to everyone who tunes in every week and supports Cozy and I ❤
You guys can’t do wrong in my eyes 🔥🔥🔥
It's a great time to be a Marvel Snap player
Thank YOU both for the great content and wholesome energy for the last year!
Your the man, I would love to play you in conquest sometime.
Should have gone for the purple border on Thanos
Think Nico just slots really well into Thanos. You have 1 cost stones to fit into the curve whenever Nico has the spell you want.
i dont have thanos😅
Hmmmm
@@iamironmansnapit also works well with Phoenix force like really well
@@iamironmansnapme too 😅
Me too, it's really bad having a purple Stone on hand but now she has a purpose
The feature I want the most when it comes to cards and splits, is to be able to take any card that I've taken to infinity and change the border/background/effect to what I want. I want a card like Enchantress with the green nameplate to have a green border, but also 3D/animated!
13:36 Forge buffs the left most card whether its Mysterio or an illusion. Meaning the demon will always be the left most card.
I don't care if Niko turns out good or bad. I'm rolling anyway because I need this Kitty variant in my life!
Same here!
Where can I see the variant of Kitty, infame it shows the default.
congrats on your 1000 collector tokens. the cache system is trash
You need the base card before you can get variants from spotlights.
25:39 Double her power is gonna be fine in an Elsa deck. You play her then she gets the plus three then doubles to 10. Behind her was Kitty so Kitty lifts up next turn and opens the spot back up. Or you Forge into her, Elsa bonus, doubt power. Honestly even a 1/4 isn't bad last turn if you must.
I would like to see that you could change borders down once you've unlocked them. So you can use the original artwork with a better fitting border than infinite

So sure, I think, but often make my moves quickly because it’s a lighter game that’s only 6 rounds.
That will only work about 10% of matches, because 90% are bots that insta lock their turn.
So much this. Especially when I accidently hit the next turn button without playing anything 😢
Espacially when I locked the turn and the opponent snaps afterwards.
So good to see that you two are still doing thia podcast. I am one of those returning players. Glad to be back.

I think Nico could be the new Negative. Goes off; makes crazy plays. Doesn’t go off; retreat for the 1 cube
Half agree. Yes Nico will swing and miss, but as a 1 cost it'll just be upside or not played. Your deck shouldn't rely on a specific spell to function.

There should be a favorite deck feature, so the puts our best decks to the front. As well as favorite/default cosmetic for your card back, avatar, and title
Yay, Human Torch! I own multiple good Shang Chi variants, but nothing too exciting for Human Torch. Unfortunately Ghost Rider just got a great variant, so he didn't have a chance.
I want Draft Mode badly... even being in pool 5. It's so random and I would love it.
I'd like to see team affiliation bonuses. I used to play table top game called Hero Clix. Team affiliations were a large part of it. For example: X-MEN,AVENGERS,FANTASTIC 4, SINISTER 6,and they get bonuses as a team.
I'm late but here's a deck I've been doing. Ramp style, wolverine, dead pool , and nico. IF YOU RAMP UP NICO arnim her on turn 6, her double power spell will trigger. . AND when she's brought back with Phoenix force. At least with her it adds. A bit more ramp opportunity with her. She'll also make a copy of venom AFTER hes eaten her btw, if you used the copy spell
The biggest quality of life change I'd like is being able to sort my collection by the number of boosters I have
My brother and I loved Jet Force Gemini. I've never heard of any one else who played it. Wild to hear y'all mention it.
All of the effects are good with a bounce deck. Even the move one is good with elsa, and doubling nicos power after forging her is also a good play. Maybe even elsa her before
I want them to make it so you can select any border/background variation you have unlocked of a card. I had the perfect legion with a red border that complemented the card's background, upgraded it and it is not longer as cool
Joe Montana’s Football. I still remember the play that couldn’t be stopped. X-Delay. Nice Alex.
Give us the Spot who lockjaws the opponents side of the location.
Spell #3 is good for Shuri/Zola combos. Remember the attempts at Iron Fist/Shuri/Galactus? This is same concept but much less telegraphed
Draft mode would be cool tbh, it gives f2p players a taste of series 4+ cards.
thank u cozy and alex this is the video i look forward to every week thanks for everything u guys do. i could relate to alex in not sleeping in a couple days but it was spiderman 2 such a good game.
About qol changes, I really wanna see an auto mute feature. At the start of each game, I always mute because the emotes can be pretty toxic sometimes. It's a habit at this point to mute my opponent every time, but it would pretty nice not to have to do that every single game. I also sometimes forget, and then they just do the "👍🏻" emote when they win, and it's pretty annoying
24:30 it might just be me but those two in a Daken/ Deadpool deck that already has the destroy engine could work fine with it. Not saying you want to pull this spell on purpose but with the other destroy elements and the synergy with the power boosters makes it so you can see a consistent benefit from that spell.
I just didn't have Torch, was an easy pick considering how hard it is to get cards in this game.
I think the thing with Nico is that her different spells all do so much, that I feel like they would be better suited across a bunch of different cards instead of all being packed into one card
So when Daken came out I made a Surf and Destroy deck. It was alright but it was before x-23 made destroy really sing. But if you use Nico to guarantee better tech, dropping turn 7 Surfer and Death is gonna be fun to try out.
I think Brode was right when he said fans of toolkit cards like Thanos will love Nico. Her toolkit is going to be something to explore for weeks on end.
I think Nico with Phoenix Force will actually be super solid and underappreciated. Incredible use of the destroy and draw spell and the move right spell.
I don't see how she could ever be bad. I understand the consistency arguments, but I see her as more of a location card that you put in your deck. When you think of it that way she's no different from Legion.
I think some nice little quality of lifes would be things like maybe some new music once in awhile, maybe for at least conquest mode? Maybe some more sound effects or just graphical effects for more cards(Like Cyclops's lazer beam). That would be so sweet compared to some cards doing aboslutely nothing. Or maybe enhance effects as you upgrade the aesthetics. If it slows things down, then make it an option rather than a mandatory change.
You guys are just so gosh darn wholesome i love it.
I chose the Human Torch Variant because I need a good HT Variant, already got my perfect Kim Jacinto Shang-Chi Variant
Also, am I the only one thinking Nico in the Phoenix deck has a lot of utility? I think something like that which kinda has hybridized play lines can make use of a huge amount of these effects
I think some quality of life changes would be a friend system, maybe not as in depth as you guys were talking. Maybe start out being able to add your friends via your own code, friend requests after a match, maybr show case your favorite card atm.
Im personally someone who love seeing stats as well, so being able to see wins or losses. Or my most played card would be a sick addition.
I want to see Variants be a larger part of the game.
1st- be able to pin variants in the store7
2nd- Have a variant wishlist (maybe 10 max) and the 48th open on Season Pass be a Guaranteed 1 of your 10
3rd- Have a variant exchange system where you can level up a variant to Infinity then sell it for a "Variant token". 1 token is an free blind open, 3 is guaranteed 1200 variant and 5 is a variant out of your wishlist.
Variants can be a fun way to play without having to play well. Lose who cares I'm getting boosters and building a badass Variant collection.
MORE GOLD also!
I like the idea of social/club features .We should be able to show off our favorite 3 variants on our profile or something too.
Given that there’s seven spells, I thought it was obvious that the spell depends on the turn since “the spells change each turn”, they’re speaking as if you can get any spell on any turn. Not that either party is inherently wrong, they could be right, but I highly doubt they’re going to let a 1/2 shuri exist purely by random chance. But maybe that’s just me.
Trading variants would be nice.
Draft mode for sure. And finally, I think this game needs mini-sets that could be bought with in-game resources. Not in a seasonal way, but from time to time would be nice to give some spice to the meta.
id love a draft mode. Regardless if it actually gave you cards to keep, everyone being on the same level and increased variance in decks from having to construct one anew is so much fun in other tcg' s.
Another nice split! Do you time it for the RUclips ads too? It timed perfectly and left me hanging through two ads.
I thought it was a gimme that cards would work together in some way. They want to encourage players to use the new cards and if players don’t have cards to support the new theme they’ll prolly go play something else…
First deck I am putting her in is a phoenix build. Every spell has potential in the phoenix decks.
2v2 mode like in the Yugi-Oh cartoon when Yugi and Joey battle together. Alternate turns each with their own decks.
A new mode is the highest on my wishlist. I’d love to see a draft mode most, but Cozy’s idea for a 2v2 mode would be awesome.
For the guild- what if the game had a few cards of the week and if the guild got a certain number of victories with that card- everyone in the club/guild would get a unique variant available only for that week
I also like the idea of talking about decks and sharing deck lists w/in a club
Lastly what if there were 2-3 slots for a “guild deck” and guilds got some rewards for playing or winning with that deck? Maybe even allowing members to play the deck even if they didn’t own all the cards. That could be cool! Teammates couldn’t share cards but could share the experience of being able to play new cards
Spell 7 makes a Hulkbuster + Nico into a 14 power monster. That's pretty good. And many Phoenix lists run Hulkbuster (and will likely run Nico).
Nico is Legion 2.0. I've been saying that for almost 2 months. Busted for PF, move, and destroy. PF very specificly because almost all of Nico's effects are busted in PF.
The move synergy is pretty good for a Phoenix deck drop a torch or multiple man pop it draw 2 then play force and it moves.
Iron fist and Heimdall both move things to the left. Having a card that moves to the right could be pretty handy for movement decks, tho unreliable.
That Valkyrie art is AMAZING!!
Great content as always gentlemen
I think Nico is gonna be insane in hoogland's elsa bounce list that's criminally underplayed right now.
Love to see that Gold Thanos. Just got my first gold finish. Cosmo (Rian Gonzales variant) with red stardust.
Spell 3 Galactus sneak.... play shuri....move right...then bam!! Galactus
1:55 Alex is goated hahaha
the dad duties on top of all that
That thanos gold on gold looks perfectly beautiful 🤩 congrats!!
21:08 when is there ever not a game where you wouldn't mind a scarlet with but you don't have her so you play your storm or Magik there instead? It may be the worst spell but it's actually very useful.
Okay, even bigger fan of Alex for being a 49er/Joe Montana fan. Respect, Coccia!!!
Draft to level playing field, ability to see what cards we're missing, clubs could be fun
The main thing that I would like to see in Snap in the future is a dedicated PvE mode akin to Legends of Runeterra's Path of Champions mode.
To me it's a super fun way to play the game without the sweat and toxicity of PvP.
I'm excited for the potential of them making the cosmetic upgrading even better.
human torch variant effect is so dope. those fire hair
53:15 I too was a "playstation boy" back when I was young. 😂😂
I wish I could exchange a spotlight cache for collectors tokens. I've gotten more cards since spotlight cache started but it sucks that it's harder to get a specific card I want.
The double power of niko isnt bad because if you think of it forge into her double spell can be a 2 power black panther basically
The year 2 things sound great, but it would help to resolve all of the mobile bugs that have been persistent since launch.
14:03 Imagine this spell into a negative, destroying it and drawing 2 negative cards - op as heck
Really WANT Draft Mode and also more social aspects to the game (ie. Guilds, Friends List, etc etc)
At first I wasn't too hot on Nico but after learning a little more about how her spells will work and thinking about how they can work in certain decks and alongside other cards, I now think she'll be a good 'wild card' for a lot of decks. Imo Nico will generally be decent (and not detrimental) to a deck but when her spells do line up she'll be able to add a lot of power or utility to a match.
Personally im opening caches for her but mostly because I have 12 spotlights and 24k tokens saved so even of it takes 4 caches ill still have more than enough resources left. I do hope it's a one and done situation since I already have the wedding dress spotlight kitty variant (though I won't be mad if I open the new one) and though I usually don't mind Hipp variants (there's even a couple I prefer like Zabu and Mysterio), getting a Hipp from a spotlight just doesn't feel good imo.
My top wishes for year 2, are more quality of life changes: more deck slots, a better way to organize decks (by archetype). Currently, I've been organizing my deck types/archetypes via earned card backs. It's helpful to be able to view at a glance and immediately recognize: that's my destroy deck or that's my thanos deck etc. That said, it would still be nice if there was a more robust deck organizing system.
