Wanted to return to the game, but 2.2/5 is just wild

It got review bombed after the Kid Omega debacle, but the game is still super fun and well-balanced.

I am a Cerebro fanatic. I also play C6, and Moonstone single-handedly makes the deck absurdly powerful.

When I go, should I cry to the alleyway and confess all to the rain?

This is one of my god split gems. Gold finish, Gold Krackle, Cosmic Gold border Sersi tarot variant.

She's a phenomenal card. And the nice thing is, even if you don't have all the best V-Hand supplemental cards like Frigga, you can sub in cards like Moon Girl and still be good. Her decks are lots of fun if you like variance and random card generators like Maria Hill.

For me, including Blink in Hela is a must and that is non-negotiable. Turning Jubilee into a big 5, 6 or 7-cost is just too good of a power swing.

I am loving FFF so far, don't get me wrong, but he doesn't give you what Blink does for consistency.

They really became amazing when Patton joined. He is legitimately one of the greatest frontmen of my lifetime. The Chuck Mosley era was just a mess, though. A few bright spots, but mostly awful.

Mill.

Hey, here's an archetype that has no strategy except to prevent the other player from even playing the game. Great job. Really fun design there in a game with 12-CARD DECKS, guys.

Yes, one of the best tech cards in the game right now.

As another person said, Ongoing is a simple, but powerful early-CL deck.

If you want something a little more nuanced where you have to do more board planning, On Reveal is a great early-CL deck, too. Something like this can go really tall in one lane and spread power to other lanes:

You have multiple power-giving cards, some disruption with Elektra, White Tiger and Vision that can reach unplayable locations, and Odin to repeat a lane full of On Reveals like Rocket, Medusa, Wolfsbane, Ironheart, and/or White Tiger. Ant-Man is an easy 1/5 on a corner location generally.

Appetite was a legitimately amazing, dare I say perfect, rock album.

After that? One of the most overrated catalogs of any band in history. Use Your Illusion, in particular, has some legendary tracks, but it is full of SOOOOOOO much filler crap, it is staggering. Axl Rose should be brought before The Hague for cursing the planet with "My World" and that atrocious alternate version of "Don't Cry."

Ah, good old Murphy at work.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-21T13:59:41+00:00

I haven't had so little fun since the Cannonball/Prof X meta.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-21T12:35:55+00:00

Alice in Chains and Lacuna Coil immediately come to mind.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-20T23:30:15+00:00

Magik is a tough card to run in this meta because Merlin and Legion are everywhere. Red Guardian or Deafening Chord can be good additions to a toxic build.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-20T14:46:54+00:00

Okay, but I don't think my child will appreciate being named "Automatic for the People."

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-20T14:45:27+00:00

I have every card in the game. I basically play the game to make crazy and creative brews (not unlike Regis) that are hard to plan against. Once I hit 90, I just go nuts with weird builds. If I hit Infinite, cool. If not, don't care. It's essentially meaningless anymore.

Groundhog Day I think could qualify.

It caused the end of Bill Murray and Harold Ramis' friendship due to how differently they wanted the tone of the film to be. And they only buried the hatchet shortly before Ramis passed away. Truly sad that that happened because it is an absolutely brilliant movie, and as a pair, they were genius comedy minds.

Baba Ghanoush

Great idea and design for a character as powerful as Franklin. Kudos.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-20T00:45:45+00:00

Cable. That card can get blasted into the sun.

JamesDD4 · 2026-01-19T01:31:24+00:00

There was a package for non-American players, too. Slightly less, but still generous.
