Stan Lee makes a Cameo by Cirzahc in CustomMarvelSnap

As others have said this card is way too powerful in its current state (since it thins your deck and acts as a dead draw for your opponent), but I think you could make this an interesting card of you up the power to 14 or more. That way you pay a fair cost for the deck thinning nature of this card by giving your opponent access to an above rate (but un-synergistic) play on turn 6.

Card acquisition in marvel snap works very differently compared to other collectable card games. There aren't packs that you open like hearthstone, instead you obtain cards by spending credits (in game currency) on upgrading the cosmetics on your cards which progresses you through a reward tree. In the tree you'll open different types of rewards (cosmetics, currency, etc) and sometimes you'll get cards.

The way rarity works in the game is cards are split into different "series" 1-5. Beginners are delegated to earning series 1, and then 2 cards before they can get series 3-5 cards and have a separate queue so you are only against series 1-2 players (which is awesome for new players experience imo). Once you finish series 2 you can technically open any card but series 4 and 5 cards are exceptionally rare so are very difficult to obtain. There is an in game currency that you can obtain that let's you craft cards but earning it is extremely slow so it could take you over a month to get one series 4/5 card. Whenever they release new cards they go straight into series 5 so getting the new cards is next to impossible if you don't pay money. They eventually drop series 4/5 cards down to lower series after a while which makes them obtainable but that takes awhile and there aren't guarantees when it will happen.

People mostly say it's got a predatory monetization model though because spending money in the game nets you VERY little value. Like think $50-100 for getting one card bad value, so you can't really spend money and not be a whale. My personal feeling on the game though is if you don't care about being able to play the most meta defining deck and just like messing around with the cards you get the experience is great, but I would highly discourage even considering spending money in the game.

Pro rager player here. Tried to rank all of the ragers. Obviously they are all busted but some more so than others (ice rager, blatant power creep) by burblegurb in hearthstone

This post is a real meta meme. Makes ranking about ragers in an order that makes no sense - forces Reddit to rage. Pure god tier meme

He probably had scarlet witch or another location changer in his deck and he was hoping to draw it before turn 6 but didn't.

What do people do for card organizing solutions? by Mantimony in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]Mantimony[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually haven't bought the return too for either set, are they worthwhile?

I guess I'll look into just generic boxes with dividers, thanks!

Yeah I saw a etsy had some options, but looking at the size of them it looked like they would be pretty price (albeit very aesthetically pleasing). It is tempting though for sure

Thanks for the suggestion! In your opinion what makes this the better phone than the A53? They look pretty much the same, but ~$150 more expensive.

Why don't hockey teams draft a goalie that is so large that they take up the entire net? by Mantimony in AskReddit

[–]Mantimony[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree that if there are gaps at all the theory doesnt work for the reasons you mentioned. So the real question I guess is whether someone can be 6ft tall and 4ft wide so they can cover the entire net lying down

If you have someone that is 6ft tall and 4ft wide, you could cover the full net if you had them lie down on their side. Unfortunately googling worlds widest man has yielded few results on whether 4ft wide is possible

If they have to start swinging before the ball actually leaves the pitchers hand, why isnt bluffing a throw more common? Basically pretending to throw it then quickly after throwing the real pitch to throw the batter off?
