    The fix to Arishem is add the text "Your card costs cannot be reduced." Reverse Mobius.
    Have the energy, have the random cards, what's unfair is the cost reduction. Loki is already a defensive tool against Cassandra and Darkhawk, and it regulates their card draws to a good deck draw with added energy. No more cost reduction.

    Beefs minimum cook temp is 145°f. Beef is a low risk meat. If its handled well and from a reputable provider, you can eat it raw (like in a tartare) like high end fish. Medium rare is the proper way to cook a burger thats relatively thick and thats a hill I'll die on. Just bc you're canadian doesn't mean your burger has to be a hockey puck! (On that note, cant wait for hockey season. The Blue Jackets might actually be ok for once so im pumped!)

    • @Gigo1337
      @Gigo1337 2 месяца назад

      You can %100 eat steak raw, tartare is made by grinding superior cuts of meat. But *most* ground beef isn't.
      Took some cooking classes and what we were taught is that risk isn't so much the raw meat as e coli from the butchering process, since often fouled or less desirable cuts are what is ground. Generally the closer you get to the digestive tract the cheaper the cuts are.
      So if they are grinding meat that is normally used in roasts and steaks up to make burgers in house, hell yeah get it any way you want it! but if they aren't, get it cooked IMO.

  • @DBTrunksDB
    @DBTrunksDB 2 месяца назад +4

    I'll chime in on the burger rareness topic: cooking ground beef is normally cooked to well done because ground beef tends to have more bacteria. This is due to the increased surface area as the meat is ground. In the case of the steak, bacteria will really only have a chance at the surface of a steak, which is why a sear on the edge works well to kill the bacteria. A burger can be cooked rare or higher, but should only be done where the beef is freshly ground on location, along with a very clean kitchen. While surface area of the meat is increased during the grinding, the bacteria won't have time to proliferate if cooked immediately after ground. As for ordering at restaurants, it depends on whether you trust the establishment or not. I'm sure there are restaurant that offer this, but are not considering the safety of it all.

    As someone with some game development experience and is a c++ programmer, I believe it is 100% possible for them to have arishem generate the entire deck.
    If they want to be real lazy about it they can keep the deck creation the same, so you have 11 other cards you picked, but then on arishem's effect in game in randomizes the entire deck, including the cards you put in.
    Yeah 100% of the architecture to do that might not be there, but I don't see how it could possibly require an immense amount of work to get going.
    Also, totally agree the variant shop needs reworking.
    At least let me pin x amount of the variants that I really like.

    I’d love to see more cards that manipulate locations because I feel it’s such an underrated aspect of the game. I’m specifically talking about cards like Magik or Legion who create specific locations because it could make for some really interesting plays. An idea I had for one would be the bartender from Bar with no Name who would be a 6-20 that would read ‘You can only play this at locations where you have no cards, On Reveal: Change the current location to A Bar with No Name’. Could make for an interesting tech card that punishes the opponent for ramping too high in one lane but if you play it somewhere they haven’t committed then you lose because of it’s 20 power. I had to add the ‘only where you have no cards’ because otherwise it could go into Cosmo and be a free Infinaut.

    huge cerebro change: make it target the *MOST COMMON power(s) on your side*, not the highest.
    this protects you from bullcrap like monster island while keeping cerebro's original identity and purpose. it doesn't punish you for things you can't control.
    it also greatly diversifies the ways you can play cerebro:
    - you can continue playing it normally, focusing on only having the most effective cards of the desired power
    - you can take advantage of the flexibility to run big cards that cerebro would normally never run
    - notice how i put power(s) instead of power? you can go the OPPOSITE direction and play cerebro in an even SMARTER way, focusing on dividing cerebro's effect between MULTIPLE powers by playing identical amounts of each (probably far less effective but more fun)
    i feel like this cerebro change is mandatory for cerebro to have any viability again; other options don't fix the biggest conceptual problems cerebro currently has
    (also it would give us an excuse to nerf ultron)

    Not quite a mailbag, BUT a point for Hulkling review next week: The problem with him (and the tier list that y'all made) is that a vanilla 6/11 is NOT "C-Tier," It is F-tier. No one played vanilla hulk, so getting a vanilla 6-11 is trash. Your deck is not built for cards like Odin, Onslaught, and Spectrum either, so they are vanilla cards most of the time as well. The "S-Tier" and "A-Tier" cards mentioned are the only ones that you might be excited to get in reality, which means over 50% of the time he is undesirable.

      Literally just make Arishem completely random with no deck around him. I knew this would happen with this card, completely asinine design. You can't make a card that grants energy cheat and any type of consistency because then you're just breaking your own game. Let him keep the energy cheat but remove the competitiveness. Make him a fun, draft-style card which sates veteran players and remains a perfect card for newcomers as well.

    Give -1 to every card in his deck and hand.
    Make him a negative power card that is added to the board at the end of the game. (This feels in-character to me. This option also puts additional pressure to strategically play the random cards instead of throwing random BS onto the board.
    Another option is to make him automatically Snap at the start of the game (or at least after Turn 1).

  • @GetMiked
    @GetMiked 2 месяца назад +1

    I had a couple ideas for nerfs that could address some of the issues you talked about. I think they make a slight difference but will help!
    Gilgamesh - Moves to a 6 cost - reduces the boost of playing an additional 1 cost on turn 6
    Mockingbird - Cost reduction caps at 1 - prevents hugely OP plays on turn 6, especially with Gilgamesh
    Arishem - The bonus energy only remains whilst Arishem is in your hand or deck. This would mean Loki would still be OP if you draw Arishem, but you could also specify the bonus energy only applies if you have 17 or more cards in your deck for example. This could even introduce cards like Cable as a counter to Arishem by thinning your deck or something

    I once saw someone online suggesting that the random cards Arishem adds to your deck should include tokens, and I think that might be a pretty viable fix. Squirrels, ninjas, rocks, even widow's bites/kisses. It could distinguish from the two groups of cards and add, say, 6 tokens and 6 regular cards. It would also give it an easy way to tweak it, without changing the card text or anything like that, by adjusting how many of the cards are coming out of each group. It could also create a new way to play Patriot, which could be fun.

    On arishem - give all cards you place in your deck plus one cost so that they can only come out on the turns otherwise available in other decks and only the random cards get cheated out early based on the higher max energy - so Loki placed in your deck is 4/5 but Loki randomly added to the deck is 3/5. That seems fair to me and adjusting costs is already in the code. So you can plant all the tech cards you want but your blob is 7/0 if you plant it or 6/0 if you random draw it.

    I feel like these effects match up with the character motifs a bit better. Arishem "The Judge", you can conquer others with your deck, but can you conquer yourself? Loki, the god of mischief, doesn't currently do anything particularly mischievous? I always thought it was strange he wasn't a more disruptive card.

    Though, if you Sous Vide the burger first, you can cook it to pretty much any temperature within reason since you can cook it longer at the low temp and still kill the bacteria if you sous vide it long enough.

    Thoughts on the recent buying of a card and then the nerf happening: Second Dinner has a plan ahead of time for the OTAs and Patches. They could just pull those cards from rotation in the shop. If I don’t ever see the card I can’t buy it and be mad when they change it quickly.

    As a FTP player I feel like a new card every week is overwhelming cause I never know what I should get and should pass on so my question is a card acquisition question but what are your guys thoughts on every 60 levels you get a 50/50 roll on a S4/s5 card or the new spotlight card and on the flip side every 120 levels you get a spotlight key? A lot of mobile games do the 50/50 thing and it works well I think if done correctly it would feel more rewarding getting new cards as well as making free to play players more excited for new cards.

    17:50 I don't think that it's a "coding problem" per se. I feel like if they can code Loki into copying your opponent's deck, they could probably code Arishem so that he makes all the cards in your deck random as well. Also they have District X that already replaces your deck with random cards, so it's definitely possible. I'm not saying that's the solution, but I feel like it's not impossible for the devs to do.
    I think the problem is that their initial design for the card was that having X number of cards added at random to your deck was supposed to be this big draw back/toss up since you couldn't reliably get the cards you wanted, but when it got out of the lab and into everyone's hands, it turns out that having a guaranteed free energy at the start of the game without having to play a card for it made it so that you were outpacing your opponent with cards most of the time and REALLY outpacing them if you had Quin Jet/Loki. I think that making the whole deck random would probably be fine balance-wise, but it may not be very fun as you're skipping the deck building process which is half of the fun in card games. Adding more random cards to Arishem would make it less likely that you're hitting Quin Jet/Loki, but I don't think it'd change anything all that much tbh.
    Here's my dumb idea: Make it so that Arishem starts in your hand and you are FORCED to play him if able. This way, he has sort of the same inherent restriction of the other ramp cards (having to play them), but in a different way. Instead of having to play Electro/Corvus/Wave on turn 3 and using that turn as an investment for turns 4, 5, and 6 to pop off, with Arishem you get to play ahead 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 and then on 6 is when Ari collects on the debt. This would mean that your opponent could pop off on turn 6 leaving you with little to no response, but hopefully (probably) your board is strong enough from the earlier turns to survive it. You could also cheat out Ari by hitting Wave or Lady Sif, so that if you wanted to have a big last turn pop off you could. I feel this is still fair because you're still having to pay something for your free energy. Idk if this is the answer, but at least on paper, it seems more fair to me than what it is now without ruining the fun parts of the card. I'm sure there's better ideas out there though.

    This is completely off topic from the things you discussed in this video but maybe for a future video you could give your opinions on Alliances so far. I keep finding the bounties extremely repetitive and not very fun. Mine are currently filled with Destroy 8 cards in a match 0/4. And Discard 8 cards in a match or whatever the text reads on that one. I think the bounties would be better if it included some deck building ones like the "Win with X in your Deck" Missions that we get from time to time. For instance: Win 3 games with X (card) and Y (different card) in you deck. Or even push it up to 3 or 4 cards.

    For the mailbag : - the beginning of Alliances was quite good when everyone was on it, the game felt more balanced as more player ended playing more various decks. But almost nobody's trying anymore, rewards sucks, some missions too long or complicated to achieve. Don't you think making it easier and give better rwards and missions would fix most of the game balance issues ? What's your take on this ?
    - talking about balance : seeing the fresh beast / bounce nerf that just happened, what's your opinion on balance patch who tends to hurt more than anything "thought" plays and usually kills them as opposed to big cards and "braindead" ones that are slightly touched. They justify task and beast like it's gonna make a too big human torch and at the same time irontribunal is still a thing and they render Loki availabale at turn 1 for Arishem.
    Thank you !

    They need to make it so Loki doesn't replace the randomly generated cards in an Arishem deck, just the "original deck." Any kind of loki effect that eliminates the randomness of Arishem will always be a problem.

    I think Arishem should simply replace 6 of your cards with random cards. You can still have a little control over what your deck looks like but it leans into the randomness i think a lot of people were hoping Arishem would have cause he doesnt feel very random to me when i play him. Sure there's the chance I'll draw 6 random cards in a row but most of my games i wind up playing the exact same play lines and that's very telling when 15 random cards are supposed to be in the way of those play lines.

    Second, as far as expanding Marvel Snap's gameplay, is there something specific you all would like to see in terms of maybe more locations in a single game to compete over with larger decks or other variants? An idea I would love to see is maybe a 5 location game with either a 4 player free for all mode where the lowest power player gets knocked out or a 2v2 style team based mode where you and another person compete together to claim 3 out of 5 locations from another team of 2 players.

    What if we made Arishem a 7/12 to kinda make him in line with hulk/vanilla stat card but at the start of the game he changes all the cards in your deck to random cards. This means u can still get boosters on cards but it stops the loki/quinjet effects because they get changed into something random. It also means you're not hard countered by Cassandra nova or darkhawk anymore because you only have 12 cards in your deck. It might nerf him a bit but still keep his randomness identity
