Omg you are right. With the deck I have been trying out some times , I feel like I need a 1 drop or 2 drops, so this is something I am definitely going to try out. I just need to think about what card to switch out. This is the deck I have been trying out # (1) Agony # (1) Zabu # (2) Forge # (2) Psylocke # (2) Hulkbuster # (4) Captain Marvel # (4) Scarlet Spider # (4) Misery # (4) Symbiote Spider-Man # (5) Namora # (6) Doctor Doom # (6) Odin # QWduNSxaYjQsQ3B0bk1ydmxELFNjcmx0U3BkckQsTm1yNixPZG40LFNtYnRTcGRyTW4xMSxEckRtNixQc2xjazgsSGxrYnN0ckEsTXNyNixGcmc1 # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in MARVEL SNAP.
Cassandra Nova was considerably more difficult to get than Agony. The difference between the game modes was huge. I just could NOT get enough play time in on Deadpool's Diner to unlock the card, and that is saying something as I play a pretty good amount. Now, that's not necessarily an attempt to compare the two cards but rather the modes. I'm still pissed couldn't get Cassandra.
I feel for ya man! Did you play alot in the finals days of deadpools diner?.. there were many many people who got the card and had millions upon millions of bubs giving them away to people who needed them. I was one of those people. After I had been gifted millions of bubs the same way
Atleast you played the mode, i wasnt in pool3 yet when cassandra dropped so i couldnt even try to get her because if you are not in pool 3 you cant use a lot of modes like the collector stuff and deadpool mode, so i couldnt get her either 😔😔
Mailbag: 2 years ago, I had significant back surgery. While recovering for 6 months I played Snap and watched your weekly Snap Chats. 2 years post surgery, I’m in great shape and you guys helped me pass that tough time. Thanks and congrats on two years!!
Gee, two years of Snap and two years of Snap Chat, where has the time gone? It's been a pleasure listening to you both talking about Snap, life and random stuff.
Mailbag: I've never left one of these, so I will try to keep it brief. I just want to say that I've been watching this podcast since nearly the beginning (started playing in Silver Surfer Season) and both of you have made me love the game, and really get more into it than I would've without you. I think you're both incredible creators and talented, kind, genuine people, so as a creator myself you are both huge inspirations to me. I've been doing it a long time and it's refreshing when you can find a creator (or two in this case) who are actual good people. I wish you both the best and thank you for always bringing entertainment to us every week.
@@DaPup oh I wish I knew what that felt like... Corvus 98% of the time hits my modok and any other card I don't want targeted. Almost always affects me negatively.
@@DaPuplmao I run a kind of unorthodox "surprise" type discard deck with ravonna. There are only ever 2 cards in my entire deck I don't want Corvus to hit... Guess what, if either of those cards are in my hand, Corvus says goodbye to them.
I refuse to take Corvus out, ended up removing my boy daken which sucks cause of my inked split variant but replaced him with scorn and haven’t regretted it since
Hey Alex and Cozy ! l must tell you i love the snap chat content, Im relatively new to the podcast since I joined on Hercules episode but since then I haven’t missed one. I would like to ask you a question for the mailbag : What is your opinion with iconic teams in the marvel universe not having any synergy in game? For instance, the avengers , the fantastic four, the x-men, the sinister six etc. Do you think there should be a mode or more events like the AvX where they have that synergy? Keep up the great work :)
Cozy and Alex! I started listening to the podcast on episode 10 and it’s been a staple for me ever since. When I first started listening I was just picking up guitar and starting my learning on the instrument. Now almost two years later I’m in a band and about to record an ep, and I still listen to the snap chat while practicing! This is my favorite pod and you two are always bros to me. Thanks for keeping it consistent🤘 (Ps thank you cozy for rocks and hawks. Still use it to hit infinite)
Cozy and Alex. Listening to you two talk about how grateful you are to be doing what you’re doing has really inspired me to pursue what I want in life. From the bottom of my heart thank you guys for inspiring me to be strive for more than I once thought possible. You guys are more inspirational than you know, and your content goes so far beyond Marvel Snap. I can’t wait to keep watching every week.
One of my favorite memories when You and Cozy compared your self's to variants in Snap I remember Cozy was Starlord and Alex was Jeff the Shark I think.
Mailbag: What decks that you made are you the most proud of for your deckbuilding creativity? Maybe because of some really clever synergies or interactions, not necessarily the strongest decks you've made. For example, I had a pre-patch Destroyer deck with Mysterio, Mockingbird, Sasquatch, and Caiera. Caiera would protect any 1-/6-Cost played before it, so Mockingbird and Sasquatch would be safe from Destroyer if I got them down early. I loved that deck, even though it wasn't very good.
I can't wait for the two year anniversary of the podcast! Happy to have been along for this journey since the beginning, I always look forward to Monday because I know a new episode is going to come out. I appreciate you both making this awesome podcast out of love for the game and community ❤
Congratz on 2 years!.. I've been along for the ride 99 of the episodes... From who's this Alex guy, to 10 month Twitch subscriber to Alexcoccia... If Cozy would stream he too could contribute from my patreonage.. I use to listen to RogueActions (swgoh chat) on Monday's, but now i've replaced it with the SnapChat.. You make 2hrs of my monday amazing.. I wish I could get the un-edited version, just to hear the random topics & crazy rabbit wholes you go down... I'm from Idaho & know what Twizzler Nibs are.. that is a miss on Cozy's part!
Congratulations on the two years guys! Love the show. The strength of the relationship really comes through the screen. My question, what's your favorite memory or moment over the last two years?
I've been watching since like episode 3. Love this podcast. The friendship is what brings me back. Even without Snap I'd watch the two of you together talk for a couple hours each week.
Mailbag: Hey Alex, I brewed a Scorn-Surfer deck you may like: It’s like the Sera Toxic Surfer but I swapped Hazmat for Scorn and instead of Luke Cage; Gambit. On Turn 7 a 2-Cost Gambit and a 5-Cost Odin on the Wong-Mystic location. Everything on the other side gets destroyed and scorn buffs your side as well, hope you enjoy.
I came back to Marvel snap after one year pause and man discard feels way better now, all the targeted discard changes make the deck 100% more reliable, climbing 83 after a couple of days of playing silver surfer and discard. I got scorn with some old tokens I had and it feels really good as an addition for buffing all your cards.
Thank you so much for your show. I've watched since I started back in Nimrod season when I was a consistent 73rank player. I can honestly say though your tutelage I am now a consistent 83 rank player. Grats on the milestone!
I really love it when you guys share cool ideas the community has for cards. It’s fun to think about and I hope that the dev team listens. I like Joshyg731’s suggestion about the reality stone and I was thinking that a Thanos change where if you played all 6 stones and Thanos out that 1/2 of your opponents deck and hand would be discarded or destroyed.
One of my favorite moments on the snapchat is when you had an argument about sunsets. Alex: "I hate the sun; it is so inhospitable" Cozy: "The sunset is the sun going away" Alex: "But it always comes back. It's so annoying!"
Happy two years of snapping! I have to admit that while the snap content got me here I love all the side banter and life anicdotes you two throw in there. I really love the snap content but I am more interested in your conversations at this point. That's what makes your podcast better than the others. Ps the deck you show for Gwen pool and scorn doesn't have scorn in it. I thought that was funny. I think that happened in your scorn specific video too.
Top moment: OF COURSE Costco, but also the Vespa ride, hatred of elephants, and my favorite Alex’s kid scratching the side of the car with math equations
Mailbag: Guys, I absolutely fell in love with this game about a year ago. I listen to hours and hours of podcasts every week, as I walk about 10-15k steps a day, and the podcasts are a blessing. I wasn't hopeful about a somewhat nieche card game having its own podcast, but when I discovered you two, I instantly fell in love. You became my most anticipated show every single week, and you guys did the impossible. You made Mondays one of the best days of the week for me. I want to genuinely thank you for all the hard work you put in, I know the colossal amount of work and discipline it takes to be this consistent, and I also know it's not always sunshine and rainbows. Sure, it might seem trivial, making a podcast about a card game, but what you do truly matters. You provide entertainment, comfort and you help me, as well as many many others, go through tougher times. A heartfelt thank you from a fan. PS: Does it really take a dude from Romania to point out the most annoying grammar mistake in a voice over?! Isn't the game made in the US?! Ultron says: "There's no strings on me". There IS no strings ??? THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME! IT'S EVEN A MAJOR QUOTE IN THE MOVIE. How can that go through, seriously? JESUS. xD
I think this might be a big ask but I think it would be hilarious on a 2 year anniversary special. Can we get a “fail reel” of hilarious moments throughout the last 2 years and you roasting each other? I want to see Alex get roasted for not listing Thanos in his top 10 (never let it die). In all seriousness though I’ve watched every episode and I always look forward to hearing your banter. Happy snapping!
For next episode, since Alex has a purple hue color to him from the camera and its going to be Halloween week, Alex should definitely dress up as Thanos!😅 Loved the episode as always! Looking forward to next week!
For that ban cards question/ban pairings, I did ask that to the team on the official discord, and Glenn basically said "No, and not really being considered at this time." It was from about two months ago during the change to Loki.
Ever since Thanos was added to the game I've been questioning why the Reality Stone is random instead of creating a location that benefits Thanos! It makes no sense that he'd use the Reality Stone to create a location that was bad for him!
One thing they could do in future High Voltage modes is to limit cards that see too much play in the previous iteration for that limited week. They already limit cards that extend the game or limit draws, so limiting select cards in that mode for a week wouldn’t be crazy.
I climbed up to infinite after Scorn release and the most common deck I played against was Discard, it seemed fairly strong alongside Apocalypse, Morbius, and Dracula. One interaction to note is that you can Colleen Wing/ Blade on the same turn and Colleen will discard Scorn, and then Blade will guaranteed discard Scorn again cause it'll be on the right side of your hand, this play in particular felt really rough to go against.
Congrats on two years! That glitch with silver sable tilts me so much. It reminds me of the Aero artgerm variant and the pixel part of her hair. It would drive me nuts as a death wave enjoyer lol
Hey Alex and Cozy. Congrats on 2 years! What would you think of this for a Hela rework? Ongoing: this has the combined power of all cards discarded this game. She could even start at 4 power or something, but I don’t know.
Hi from Sweden! Been listing from episod 3 or 4. Nice work! My second most played game after Kards! Most fun with Arishim and crazy decks. (Started when Zabu was Crazy - almost gave up the game) But after that month of losing to Zabu, now a buy seasonpass) The meta is almost chasing to much with nervs. Keep up the good work.
I think the stones should merge to clear up space on the board. Either merge with another card in the lane or have the stones merge together and become the gauntlet. Maybe they merge wherever you play the first stone, kind of like how scream reaches across the board
Mailbag - If you were to design a custom Snap card for eachother how would you design it, what stats and ability would you give it and what artist would you want to do the card art. Ps: Thankyou guys for making Monday a day I look forward to.
Agony as a promo card is a legit observation. Also, re: Black Panther, sadly Panther doubles and THEN the 2 power is applied, like Araña, so my highest hope for the cards utility was dashed when I realized that. But I will take a promo quality card with High Voltage over a top tier Cassandra quality card with a game mode like Deadpool's Diner any day of the week. Talk about burnout...I'm careful to only play for fun like Alex recommends, usually just hitting my missions with different fun decks, but Deadpool's Diner is the closest I've ever come to burnout on this game. I seriously didn't want to play for a while after getting Cassandra, even though I now had this really cool card. I just needed a break after that much intense play.
Mailbag: I played Namor in high voltage this week and it got me thinking. What if Namor has a On Reveal ability where he immediately floods the location while also keeping his current Ongoing ability?
Snapchat mailbag: what is your favorite way to shut down of your opponents deck? For example rogue stealing Wong’s ability,a big killmonger,Enchantress against tribunal, shadow king against bounce ect. My guess for Alex and me would be pre-nerf copycat stealing they’re 6 drop and playing it on turn 3
Agony just replaces something like forge in destroy. I feel like agony needed something similar to scorn where it adds her power to card that destroys it and goes back to your hand with +2 more power when she’s destroyed
Mailbag - the thing about reality stone (and also scarlet witch and Lucky Domino) is that there is no mechanic in the game to "manipulate the rng". It would be cool if there was a way to change tye rng on your favor. Imagine if domino had an ability to make the rngs on the next turn favorable to you. No idea how they would program that 😅
Mailbag question. With regard to SD not banning cards, what if they rolled out a hot location 1 week and the next, just for 7 days, banned 1 card and highlighted another card to get double boosters? Do that for 7 days and then back to normal? Also original Crystal would be awesome for Mr Negative as well in case you don't have your Jane Foster!
The mail bag on this episode brought up Thanos. Do you think it would be too much to have a sideboard, infinity gauntlet that you play the stones into as opposed to taking up space on the board?
Mailbag: Excluding Iron Man, what’s a card that you use regularly in decks that’s from series 1 - 3? Part two if you have time. What’s your favorite card of all time in its heyday (before SD nerfs)? Part three for Alex. How often do you go to Costco and eat samples for a meal?
The Spotlight system definitely hurts. Scorn was the one I was most excited for this season but I can't justify wasting 3 spotlight keys on two variants and a random mystery card (1,000 tokens).
MAILBAG: Congrats on two years! One of my great regrets is that I didn't discover the Snap Chat earlier. I've been watching for well over a year now but definitely not from the start. So here's the plan: I'm going to invent a time machine, and then after I go back and kill Hitler (which is mandatory for any time traveller) I'm going to go tell past me to start watching you guys right from the first episode. Looking forward to many more great years of awesome game content and even more awesome random banter about everything under the sun!
Perhaps the way to make Agony good is making Merge an archetype. Obviously, it would take months to achieve because you'd need to build it from scratch. But imagine a card that would gain additional power, when something merged with them. Or a card that merges with something and copies itself to hand. Play with that word. Maybe have stuff unmerging. It could go well with Bounce. Then Agony would become an Iron Fist for such an archetype.
I think agony needs to be a null card. Like it becomes the card but removes the effect (takes its power) so we can revive red skull. Or just make it like a blob, so anything you play there gets absorbed into it.
My idea for changing the Reality Stone is to give it an ongoing ability that prevents Thanos from being transformed or debuffed. Mostly because Spider-Ham is such a disaster for ever trying to make Thanos do his thing. I also think it and Power Stone should both draw a card and be 1/1 like all the rest of the stones.
I don't think they meant "ban a card as a mode". It would be more like "Arishem and Loki can't be included in the same deck". Similar to how High Voltage doesn't let you use Galactus. Just a ban on very prominent, broken combos. You could still build decks with them to play in private games, but in ladder and conquest, it would be an invalid deck.
I really enjoy what you guys do. It’s very entertaining to watch you every Monday. One thing that really bothers me with this game is some of the most iconic powerful characters that we have in marvel are starting/low series cards have such underwhelming abilities. Look at Mr sinister. Very powerful character, but very lame ability. It would be cool if we could get actual variants of cards made (not just aesthetic) with different abilities. I love wolverine but he is forced to be played in destroy (barely discard). Would be cool to have a different version to play with.
Discard feels so much more 3 dimensional now. It finally has a pool of cards that give you choices at each slot rather than having the 1 build that just is the right answer
!Mailbag! You asked for this so here I go. Something I hate about you guys and the snapchat. It's too dang short! I need all the spinoff podcasts about curling and animals. Love you guys, thanks for all yall do. You never miss a Monday and neither do I
MAILBAG: Love your content, Alex and Cozy :) Did you know that when you activate Symbiote Spiderman, it will gain the finish and flare of the copied card? My base Symbiote Spiderman turned gold when it merged with my gold Galactus. Cool surprise
THANK YOU ALEX for pointing out something I think a lot of gamers miss. Good games feel fair and balanced, great games, they're fair and balanced, but sometimes you can cheat a little and get an edge and that's what keeps people coming back and having that one more game feeling. A really great point.
Mailbag : Fix to Agony , when she merges with the card let Agony stay on the board instead , it is perfect for zoo cause you can Agony into Shanna (which will cause Shannas onreveal and turning agony into a 1 cost 6 power) if agony stays on the board it can stil be hit by Kazar ,Agony Gilgamesh on turn 6 is also a thing
Also, is it just me that preffered Deadpool's diner to high voltage 😂 I liked the competitive nature of Deadpool's diner and found it rewarded skill rather than High voltage which is pure luck, entirely luck so it feels like a chore rather than reward
I like how chill high voltage is. No snapping and no stakes for losing is a nice break from the normal mode. It's a good way to turn my brain off and focus on my missions
@@Pinhead___Larry DD had way too much fomo monetization but if they gave a steady income instead it would've been great. High Voltage is just forgettable and features only like 4 decks which are all essentially the same
@@deliro8758 yea I agree the monetisation was scummy, I didn't buy a single bub in that game mode, but it wasn't pay to win for that game mode, if anything it was bub donation as bad players who bought bubs would of just lost em in the higher tiers to better players. But I agree, the monetisation sacked and was scummy from second dinner. I also get if it was a grind for people as it did take a bit of time
@bwmcvey yea I did a bit of donating, had to do it in the lower tiers tho where people were grinding for the actual card, so massive respect if you committed to donating! I donated for maybe 20 minutes and stopped 🤣
I would love to play Scorn. I play discard very often, but I do not have the tokens and I whiffed 2 spotlight keys. Hopefully, she will become available later on
Mailbag: moving forward, do we think the limited-time events will become THE way to release series 4 cards on a semi-regular basis since SD doesn’t seem to want to put them in spotlights anymore?
I think it’d be a cool idea if you guys did a friendly snap match at the end of the video using some of the cards you talk about! Love the vids!
I hope they see this!
They totally should do that! And I would totally love It!
Brilliant idea! This would be a great use for the Friendly Battle feature!
I'd like this
I'd watch it 2 grandmasters 2 styles,
A Duel for the students...
My silver sable goes invisible every time lmao
Mine sometimes just... drifts away off the board
@@samhillier5167 She's has things to do, she can't just hang around on the game board
I swear I saw her backflip once, but never again
Mine went invisible so often I thought the animation was on purpose lol
Agony fits really well into Namora decks. Hitting Scarlet Spider is ideal, but Agony into Nightcrawler or Jeff on curve is solid.
i like it, good stuff dude
Yep, she is perfect for that shell.
Omg you are right. With the deck I have been trying out some times , I feel like I need a 1 drop or 2 drops, so this is something I am definitely going to try out. I just need to think about what card to switch out. This is the deck I have been trying out

I love Scorn, but I also loved the late Miek. Rip Miek
Miek got run over. He didn’t even get 6 months before he was power crept. Maybe he’ll get a touch up in the Ota.
@MapleYum He had 7 months, he came out in January.
He got power crept hard, r.i.p
She :(

Going off the title, my opinions are: Hell no, she's great, and Absolutely, she's also great.

Guys, I absolutely fell in love with this game about a year ago. I listen to hours and hours of podcasts every week, as I walk about 10-15k steps a day, and the podcasts are a blessing. I wasn't hopeful about a somewhat nieche card game having its own podcast, but when I discovered you two, I instantly fell in love. You became my most anticipated show every single week, and you guys did the impossible. You made Mondays one of the best days of the week for me. I want to genuinely thank you for all the hard work you put in, I know the colossal amount of work and discipline it takes to be this consistent, and I also know it's not always sunshine and rainbows. Sure, it might seem trivial, making a podcast about a card game, but what you do truly matters. You provide entertainment, comfort and you help me, as well as many many others, go through tougher times. A heartfelt thank you from a fan.
PS: Does it really take a dude from Romania to point out the most annoying grammar mistake in a voice over?! Isn't the game made in the US?! Ultron says: "There's no strings on me". There IS no strings ??? THERE ARE NO STRINGS ON ME! IT'S EVEN A MAJOR QUOTE IN THE MOVIE. How can that go through, seriously? JESUS. xD
I think this might be a big ask but I think it would be hilarious on a 2 year anniversary special. Can we get a “fail reel” of hilarious moments throughout the last 2 years and you roasting each other?
I want to see Alex get roasted for not listing Thanos in his top 10 (never let it die). In all seriousness though I’ve watched every episode and I always look forward to hearing your banter. Happy snapping!
For next episode, since Alex has a purple hue color to him from the camera and its going to be Halloween week, Alex should definitely dress up as Thanos!😅
Loved the episode as always! Looking forward to next week!
For that ban cards question/ban pairings, I did ask that to the team on the official discord, and Glenn basically said "No, and not really being considered at this time." It was from about two months ago during the change to Loki.
Ever since Thanos was added to the game I've been questioning why the Reality Stone is random instead of creating a location that benefits Thanos! It makes no sense that he'd use the Reality Stone to create a location that was bad for him!
One thing they could do in future High Voltage modes is to limit cards that see too much play in the previous iteration for that limited week. They already limit cards that extend the game or limit draws, so limiting select cards in that mode for a week wouldn’t be crazy.
I climbed up to infinite after Scorn release and the most common deck I played against was Discard, it seemed fairly strong alongside Apocalypse, Morbius, and Dracula. One interaction to note is that you can Colleen Wing/ Blade on the same turn and Colleen will discard Scorn, and then Blade will guaranteed discard Scorn again cause it'll be on the right side of your hand, this play in particular felt really rough to go against.
Congrats on two years! That glitch with silver sable tilts me so much. It reminds me of the Aero artgerm variant and the pixel part of her hair. It would drive me nuts as a death wave enjoyer lol
Hey Alex and Cozy. Congrats on 2 years! What would you think of this for a Hela rework? Ongoing: this has the combined power of all cards discarded this game. She could even start at 4 power or something, but I don’t know.
Hi from Sweden! Been listing from episod 3 or 4. Nice work! My second most played game after Kards!
Most fun with Arishim and crazy decks. (Started when Zabu was Crazy - almost gave up the game) But after that month of losing to Zabu, now a buy seasonpass) The meta is almost chasing to much with nervs.
Keep up the good work.
I think the stones should merge to clear up space on the board. Either merge with another card in the lane or have the stones merge together and become the gauntlet. Maybe they merge wherever you play the first stone, kind of like how scream reaches across the board
Excited for the two years, guys! Thanks for the dedication!
Mailbag - If you were to design a custom Snap card for eachother how would you design it, what stats and ability would you give it and what artist would you want to do the card art.
Ps: Thankyou guys for making Monday a day I look forward to.
4:43 the high performing Scorn deck doesn't run Scorn? Lmao
Suggestion for best week: Do a candy tier list and a Year in Rewind (going over the hits and misses from this years' past seasons)
Mailbag : The genius of the snapchat is to release this on Monday. What a fun way to end the first day of the week which is often the toughest.
About the sable thing, that happens a lot with different cards. I've noticed it with okoye and cable too.
Agony as a promo card is a legit observation. Also, re: Black Panther, sadly Panther doubles and THEN the 2 power is applied, like Araña, so my highest hope for the cards utility was dashed when I realized that. But I will take a promo quality card with High Voltage over a top tier Cassandra quality card with a game mode like Deadpool's Diner any day of the week. Talk about burnout...I'm careful to only play for fun like Alex recommends, usually just hitting my missions with different fun decks, but Deadpool's Diner is the closest I've ever come to burnout on this game. I seriously didn't want to play for a while after getting Cassandra, even though I now had this really cool card. I just needed a break after that much intense play.
Mailbag: I played Namor in high voltage this week and it got me thinking. What if Namor has a On Reveal ability where he immediately floods the location while also keeping his current Ongoing ability?
Snapchat mailbag: what is your favorite way to shut down of your opponents deck? For example rogue stealing Wong’s ability,a big killmonger,Enchantress against tribunal, shadow king against bounce ect. My guess for Alex and me would be pre-nerf copycat stealing they’re 6 drop and playing it on turn 3
Reality stone change: Reality stone changes the location to Sanctuary II (Add a random Infinity Stone to your hand.)
Agony just replaces something like forge in destroy. I feel like agony needed something similar to scorn where it adds her power to card that destroys it and goes back to your hand with +2 more power when she’s destroyed
Wow, Scorn has been getting me through every game mode to the point I have to wait for more to do. Been a great card for reliable discard
Mailbag : We see you guys always playing at the PC for content/videos but how often do you play on the toilet or waiting at the mechanic or something?
Life wouldn’t be the same without you guys
Remember when Alex thought the pixel variant of agent, Colin was holding up a badge lol
Mailbag - the thing about reality stone (and also scarlet witch and Lucky Domino) is that there is no mechanic in the game to "manipulate the rng". It would be cool if there was a way to change tye rng on your favor. Imagine if domino had an ability to make the rngs on the next turn favorable to you. No idea how they would program that 😅
Mailbag question. With regard to SD not banning cards, what if they rolled out a hot location 1 week and the next, just for 7 days, banned 1 card and highlighted another card to get double boosters? Do that for 7 days and then back to normal? Also original Crystal would be awesome for Mr Negative as well in case you don't have your Jane Foster!
The mail bag on this episode brought up Thanos. Do you think it would be too much to have a sideboard, infinity gauntlet that you play the stones into as opposed to taking up space on the board?
I got Scorn as soon as she came out, and I'm so glad I did. Playing discard is fun again.
Mailbag: Excluding Iron Man, what’s a card that you use regularly in decks that’s from series 1 - 3? Part two if you have time. What’s your favorite card of all time in its heyday (before SD nerfs)? Part three for Alex. How often do you go to Costco and eat samples for a meal?
Im horribly ill, so I had to miss work. I guess the one bright side is I don't have to wait to listen to you guys haha
The Spotlight system definitely hurts. Scorn was the one I was most excited for this season but I can't justify wasting 3 spotlight keys on two variants and a random mystery card (1,000 tokens).
MAILBAG: Congrats on two years! One of my great regrets is that I didn't discover the Snap Chat earlier. I've been watching for well over a year now but definitely not from the start. So here's the plan: I'm going to invent a time machine, and then after I go back and kill Hitler (which is mandatory for any time traveller) I'm going to go tell past me to start watching you guys right from the first episode. Looking forward to many more great years of awesome game content and even more awesome random banter about everything under the sun!
Perhaps the way to make Agony good is making Merge an archetype. Obviously, it would take months to achieve because you'd need to build it from scratch. But imagine a card that would gain additional power, when something merged with them. Or a card that merges with something and copies itself to hand. Play with that word. Maybe have stuff unmerging. It could go well with Bounce. Then Agony would become an Iron Fist for such an archetype.
Not to mention that the collector immediately gets 4 power with that crystal ability
I think agony needs to be a null card. Like it becomes the card but removes the effect (takes its power) so we can revive red skull. Or just make it like a blob, so anything you play there gets absorbed into it.
Mailbag: Thanos, what if the stones merged with him, or they added the glove merge to help clean up space on his board?
Most cards when they hit the opponents deck always show your deck. I've noticed that too.
Just finished Cozy's side of the Snapchat and I've heard Alex reference Gong Show twice now. What a random reference 🤣
Not sure where you live. But it's a rather common phrase in my area of Canada at least.
Sable now does it to the opponent deck. They fixed it several days ago.
Fam, cozy legit has a point.. Coccia looked like he had the thanos filter on 😂😂🙌🏾
Glen at 21:35 : ooo we add more content *and* crystal gets more gameplay? Lemme write that down!
Glen at 21:45 : nope 📝🚮
@20:22 pomamalu? Damn Alex 🤣🤣🤣
My idea for changing the Reality Stone is to give it an ongoing ability that prevents Thanos from being transformed or debuffed. Mostly because Spider-Ham is such a disaster for ever trying to make Thanos do his thing.
I also think it and Power Stone should both draw a card and be 1/1 like all the rest of the stones.
I don't think they meant "ban a card as a mode". It would be more like "Arishem and Loki can't be included in the same deck". Similar to how High Voltage doesn't let you use Galactus. Just a ban on very prominent, broken combos. You could still build decks with them to play in private games, but in ladder and conquest, it would be an invalid deck.
OG listeners remember when this used to be a Thursday show. Congrats on the two years!
I really enjoy what you guys do. It’s very entertaining to watch you every Monday.
One thing that really bothers me with this game is some of the most iconic powerful characters that we have in marvel are starting/low series cards have such underwhelming abilities.
Look at Mr sinister. Very powerful character, but very lame ability.
It would be cool if we could get actual variants of cards made (not just aesthetic) with different abilities.
I love wolverine but he is forced to be played in destroy (barely discard). Would be cool to have a different version to play with.
I think the sable glitch has been patched as shes actually shooting the other deck now, but yeah I thought maybe I was the only one that noticed that.
24:02
Step 1> make tribunal deck
Step 2> ban enchantress
Step 3> profit
BROKEN!
Discard feels so much more 3 dimensional now. It finally has a pool of cards that give you choices at each slot rather than having the 1 build that just is the right answer
You talked about a discard deck that featured scorn but she wasn’t in it when You showed the 12 cards and I’m confused where she goes in that mix.
If you like discard at all, then I would say scorn is fairly worthwhile. If not then it's certainly skippable.
!Mailbag! You asked for this so here I go. Something I hate about you guys and the snapchat. It's too dang short! I need all the spinoff podcasts about curling and animals. Love you guys, thanks for all yall do. You never miss a Monday and neither do I
MAILBAG: Love your content, Alex and Cozy :) Did you know that when you activate Symbiote Spiderman, it will gain the finish and flare of the copied card? My base Symbiote Spiderman turned gold when it merged with my gold Galactus. Cool surprise
IIRC, Hearthstone tournament was something like bring 4 decks, opponent bans 1.
I do like that you can play Hulkbuster on top of Agony without using her effect.
THANK YOU ALEX for pointing out something I think a lot of gamers miss. Good games feel fair and balanced, great games, they're fair and balanced, but sometimes you can cheat a little and get an edge and that's what keeps people coming back and having that one more game feeling. A really great point.
Mailbag : Fix to Agony , when she merges with the card let Agony stay on the board instead , it is perfect for zoo cause you can Agony into Shanna (which will cause Shannas onreveal and turning agony into a 1 cost 6 power) if agony stays on the board it can stil be hit by Kazar ,Agony Gilgamesh on turn 6 is also a thing
Also, is it just me that preffered Deadpool's diner to high voltage 😂 I liked the competitive nature of Deadpool's diner and found it rewarded skill rather than High voltage which is pure luck, entirely luck so it feels like a chore rather than reward
I like how chill high voltage is. No snapping and no stakes for losing is a nice break from the normal mode. It's a good way to turn my brain off and focus on my missions
@@Pinhead___Larry DD had way too much fomo monetization but if they gave a steady income instead it would've been great. High Voltage is just forgettable and features only like 4 decks which are all essentially the same
Agreed. I also liked donating bubs after getting the variant.
@@deliro8758 yea I agree the monetisation was scummy, I didn't buy a single bub in that game mode, but it wasn't pay to win for that game mode, if anything it was bub donation as bad players who bought bubs would of just lost em in the higher tiers to better players. But I agree, the monetisation sacked and was scummy from second dinner. I also get if it was a grind for people as it did take a bit of time
@bwmcvey yea I did a bit of donating, had to do it in the lower tiers tho where people were grinding for the actual card, so massive respect if you committed to donating! I donated for maybe 20 minutes and stopped 🤣
locations unique to thanos on the reality stone would be awesome
I've noticed that with Silver Sable since the day she came out. That, and her card just glitching out of existence are so damned annoying.
I would love to play Scorn. I play discard very often, but I do not have the tokens and I whiffed 2 spotlight keys. Hopefully, she will become available later on
Just acquired the tokens to purchase Scorn...she is a must have for me. You and Cozy were the deciding voices for me. Thank you
If Alex hadn't joined Cozy's Alliance, he woud be on the Kang Bang Gang
Mailbag: moving forward, do we think the limited-time events will become THE way to release series 4 cards on a semi-regular basis since SD doesn’t seem to want to put them in spotlights anymore?
I know nothing about sports but I'd listen to a sportscast with you two
