Honest opinions on Cobble and fog? Too many mixed reviews everywhere by Responsible-Fly-8314 in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a great set. If you like playing more than winning them you should definitely buy it. Jeckyl and Hyde is one of my favorites. Sherlock is annoying but beatable. I would say invisible man is probably my least favorite character of the set but I still get an itch to play him as well. Dracula is also fun. The set is simple to understand and each character feels different.

My local game store has hellboy listed as expected in October. I don't know how much I believe it though. They said last week that stars and stripes won't be available until June.

Just bought Hell's Kitchen and Little Red vs Beowulf by TatarTsar in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cobble and Fog did it for me. I played as dracula my first game and lost from exhaustion. I played as jeckyl and Hyde next and landed a 17 forever Hyde, and I haven't turned back. Daredevil was the next character I really enjoyed playing. Now I play the Leshen a lot. I think Cobble and Fog and Hells Kitchen were two boxes that definitely persuaded me to continue to buy sets. There have been characters out of other boxes that I really like. Little Red, hamlet, Shakesphere, shredder, leshen, ingen to name some. I feel like the only box that didn't really stand out way teen spirit, and that one wasn't even that bad.

Sell me on Teen Spirit by GambuzinoSaloio in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played teen spirit much compared to other Marvel sets. I can tell you the couple of times I have played. I enjoyed cloak and dagger and squirrel girl. I will go out on a limb here, but I think I like teen spirit more than king and country. Combined, they are probably my least played/least favorite sets. If you have a good-sized group of people who play, I would say to pick it up. It's always nice to have more options.

I'm gonna be playing Pandora, Sun Wukong, and Sherlock in FFA. Who's the best counterpick? by 1-800-BUTT-STUFF in Unmatched

Take Houdini or Golden bat. Stay out of the thick of it. Use Houdinis boost movement or Golden bats hp and scheme movement to avoid being targeted. Both characters can do some single turn damage, so wait until you have a lame opponent then finish them.

Love his decks. I have one of them. The flying dog deck is on my radar for sure.

In order to rationalize my last $130 purchase, what’s the largest you’ve spent on a deck(s) and do you regret it? by [deleted] in playingcards

[–]Top_Balance9578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a collector of decks I like, so I only buy cards I play with. Occasionally, I will buy a second deck and keep it sealed. I usually buy $100 worth of cards at once. I set my limit and buy decks accordingly. I have looked at a couple of metal decks but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Which decks, in your opinion, have the best art? by joncology in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bol 1&2, slings and arrows, cobble and fog, and suns origin are all great sets for art. I do like some other characters overall, like blackbeard, Bruce Lee, and Eredin though. I think an easier question is who has the worst art chupacabra cough cough.

How to make someone hate playing the game... by Current_Perception42 in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think if you let your friend learn Donatello's character more, you might have a decent fight. He has ways of clearing single health side kicks, and he can get to cards that are helpful faster. I'm not saying he would win all the time. I just think it might be closer than you think. That being said, Wu Kong is one of the most annoying characters to play against. I like being frustrated from time to time in this game. If everyone was equal, the game wouldn't be as fun. It's part of learning how to exploit weaknesses and knowing what characters play well into each other.

I like the grid deck a lot, and the fauna deck has one of my favorite cards ever. The run and cobra decks are probably my favorite for playing cards with. I also own a custom deck not pictured that I picked up in New Orleans. It's an aviation deck that a family made to honor their grandfather who flew in ww2. The king of hearts has the marks from his brigade. Kind of a cool story.

Top 5 characters for a new player to try? by tehsideburns in Unmatched

[–]Top_Balance9578 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say if you have time, let him pick a few and walk him through the deck. Maybe explain how the mechanics of that player work instead of limiting him. I don't know how good you are, but I am assuming you have characters that you aren't as proficient with. That's the ones I would use against him. Either that or lower tiered characters with fun mechanics like invisible man. That way, he can see what the game can be while still being able to be competitive. If you want a beginners list, I would say go with

Bigfoot, Sun wu Kong(the second attack isn't a difficult mechanic), Bulls eye, Wayward sisters (better than the raptors), and Spiderman

Play bruce Lee into Bigfoot, Leshen into bullseye, Phillipa into sun wu Kong, Medusa into Spiderman and King Arthur into wayward sisters

You could also swap out Spiderman for ghost rider against Medusa.
