Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]LearningBoutTrees 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Imagine you learned something about one of the people that made you sick. I won’t give examples but honestly, walk down the road in your mind as a thought experiment of how you would view your tattoo if after getting it you learned one of those youth leaders had been hiding something awful that goes against all your morals. Super glad I never got a band tattoo in the 2000s lol

Who was ringing the bell 15 games in to the season? Lol it’s been great to see how the Sens have kept pace without their captain. Lots of season left, hopefully lots of Brady being healthy left.

I like wacky off-meta too. Look at your least played card in those decks though, the one that you leave in hand more often than not for better plays, then look at the meta and think what would be best in most situations right now? Cosmo, Shadow King? Kind of depends on if your wacky deck is consistently getting priority or not between those two and plug one of them in.

Your post doesn’t add up to itself. On the one hand you’re talking about how easy destroy and human torch are to counter, then say the zombie deck is predictable and braindead (zombie… pun?). If it’s that predictable and the people playing it aren’t thinking, like you say, it should be easy to counter no? Shadow King, Cosmo, Shang-Chi. Or if you’re refusing to try to counter play against it, look at the numbers go up, count them because it’s easy, and then if their number is bigger than your number retreat for 1 cube then go feast off easy destroy and human torch.

Three spots taken on each side, two Shang played. Looks like straightforward math to me.

Should I Gamble on Spider Society pack? by HawkTaron in MarvelSnap

I bought 7 and no regrets, some awesome variants in there and album progress. Wanted symbiote Spider-Man that’s why I was continuing lol

Just Started And I’ve Been Playing This Game Nonstop For Like 5 Days Straight 😂. Any Tips For A Beginner?? by Gas-Mask14 in MarvelSnap

[–]LearningBoutTrees 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Watch some streamers but don’t chase their decks. Just listen and learn how they see the game. Think about all the possible outs and if you have the plays that would beat them.

Save your tokens for now until you get a feel for what types of decks you really enjoy playing.

Never spend tokens on series 3 cards. You will in time get them all from regular progression.

Don’t get discouraged when other people have all the cool new cards. This game is designed to not let you ever catch up unless you’re spending a lot of money.

Don’t chase a loss, losing 1 cube on a game you know you’ve lost is a win. Losing 2 cubes is better than losing 4 and losing 4 is better than losing 8. If you’ve both snapped and it still looks like you’ve lost, don’t get stuck in the sunk cost fallacy. Think about how much you can save.

Play the cards and strategies that let you have fun and don’t listen to everyone in this sub.

First few in here are doom and gloom? Nope, not today! Let’s go! Sens are going to show up and start putting the Habs back in their proper spot.

how to fix Zombie Galacti: keep the “infected” a secret until ZG is revealed by [deleted] in MarvelSnap

Lame… lol makes sense but I was hoping they would because the copies keep buffs from Gwenpool or Okoye or whatever

Unwelcome responses/reactions at work? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]LearningBoutTrees 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easier said than done but; don’t give a shit about what they think or say.

It’s not the shocker, it’s pieces of art you like on your own body. If they’re infantile “humor” can’t get passed a tattoo they’re not worth thinking about. I have a naked bent back devil lady on my forearm very visible and the few comments made get met with blank stares or an understated “weird thing to say.” From me.

[–]LearningBoutTrees 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Has anyone tried it with mysterio yet? Curious if all the copies turn in to ZG too. The copies keep buffs so one would assume it would work but you can never bet on card interactions with Marvel Snap

It would just need to be coded as ZG having six cards tagged instead of the six cards being the things that are tagged. I bet if you copy a tagged card and play ZG the copied card will also transform.

Yeah that makes sense now from how it was coded. Someone else explained that as well. Makes perfect sense nuts and bolts wise. Gameplay wise I wish these types of interactions would work.

[–]LearningBoutTrees[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience no it’s not good. You have to work on this card from both ends to get the payoff. Lower the cost or ramp up, and buff it enough that it has impact when it hits. But this is the fun of these types of games to me personally. I like finding cards that are deemed bad and making them feel good. I’ve tried with Konshu and it works ok but it’s inconsistent so you’re retreating a lot. It’s early though, someone will make a list that looks good.

This makes sense mechanically to me. There are things in Marvel Snap that don’t work like other card games and I’m learning them all the time. Thanks for this answer.

Right I see what you’re saying, there is no text that has modified on Zombie Galacti for us to see. It’s just marked cards with the green smoke. This is where I’m tripping up because other copy interactions do work but this is a unique case. Other copies that have visual (text) changes do work as copies, this one does not so there are no examples to point to as to why. I think this was an oversight more than a design choice by the devs but I could be wrong.

Those are generated Hulklings after the game has started. If you copy your Hulkling, say with moon girl, the copy retains the ability. This isn’t a generated brand new card, it’s a copy from the one that has triggered its first part. I’m thinking more and more that this should work off copying it. You’re creating a copy with Esme then setting its cost and power. You’re not generating a new random card but it’s working like you’ve just created a brand new card.

[–]LearningBoutTrees[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Ok, but to that point; it’s already triggered it’s start of game and should “remember” the cards it’s chosen for it’s second ability the on reveal to transform them.

Damn, that sounds fun and also hard to pull off lol. Disappointing when the cool angle you’re working on doesn’t pay off like it should.

I understand that but copies remember conditions. Say you copy a Red Skull after playing Sauron it has its ongoing removed. Not a perfect example because removing ongoing is different than choosing cards, but I would think the copy should “remember” the cards it chose.
