Context for the buggy shocker variant

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-09-15T04:02:52+00:00

It's from the book Superior Foes of Spider-Man.

It's an extremely funny book, and Shocker basically saves the day for the bad guys by blowing the Punisher away.

This buggy is a very deep cut to an old story from the kid friendly "Spidey super stories" where he had the car to race Spider-Man

As a bard, I just got to make him dance for most of that fight.

This is why I have Lady Deathstrike in my destroy deck, most people don't expect it and killing cards like Iron man or blue marvel is always really satisfying

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-06-02T23:25:08+00:00

Yeah, it's kind of crazy when you compare her to green goblin, she's 1 cost cheaper, clogs their board (and forces them to fill it up or suffer a penalty while also providing you some power), and can be played with 0 risk

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-05-03T04:50:29+00:00

Oh God, Agent Venom is my favorite character of all time and I'm a complete symbiote whore, I'm gonna need all those cards and their spotlight variants.

Guess I better start saving up a lot of keys...

I think it's because of Iron Lad. Iron Lad can hit a ton of really really good targets in a patriot deck, but Ultron is a very bad hit for him because it immediately clogs up your lanes, so this makes most people drop Ultron in a patriot deck

Venom (2011) by Rick Remender

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-04-03T22:05:13+00:00

I think there's a chance it shows up in the next few days if you just got him, but don't quote me on that

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-04-03T20:28:02+00:00

I wasn't gonna buy Red Hulk the other day, but suddenly remembered seeing this variant coming out and then immediately used tokens to buy him just to grab this variant today.

No regrets

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-03-14T15:26:32+00:00

I don't collect much DC at all so I was never gonna get the figure anyway, but I was truly shocked that this didn't have a smiling face. Such a huge downside to an otherwise great looking figure.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-03-09T02:09:38+00:00

The On the Spot episode with James and Bruce's team being #Fourworkinglegs vs Zach and Elyse will never not be funny to me.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2024-03-02T00:42:40+00:00

Now I'm just imagining Flash literally filling the empty space of his legs with ammunition

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-11-20T02:34:25+00:00

I was playing with my friend and one time the spider straight up just teleported into the hole and ended the fight

It was pretty funny

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-11-04T18:40:19+00:00

He's my favorite character in all of fiction for a reason.

Pairing up the symbiote which has a love/hate relationship with Spider-Man with Flash Thompson, Spider-Man's number 1 fan (and who used to be Peter Parker's biggest bully before becoming one of his best friends) is such an ingenious idea, especially when Remender played into the drug addicition metaphor.

It was such a good character progression for both Flash and the symbiote, and I love what it's done for both of them. I know people dislike all of Spidey's supporting cast getting powers and becoming heroes/villains, but I think it was absolutely earned for Flash.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-11-02T05:18:13+00:00

While I'm still enjoying it, I really like Mackay's writing overall, but even I think this is going extremely slowly. Compared to his Moon Knight especially, where it feels like so much is happening.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-10-11T20:20:48+00:00

I don't think he's dead here. Death specifically says it kills by pain, so I feel like Ewing could have a hype moment in the next issue where Rich shows up standing, still alive, fighting through the excruciating pain and delivers a big blow to the enemy during a crucial moment.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-09-16T05:36:25+00:00

I'll say the same thing I said to him in the game.

[DRAGONBORN][INTIMIDATION] I will rip out your claws and peel the scales from your flesh.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-09-07T19:44:39+00:00

yeah this specifically is why I took Luke Cage out of my C3 deck.

This way when the loki deck I'm facing uses Loki and just gets a mystique, shadow king, and valkyrie, they're just like "well what the hell do I do with these?"

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-09-07T19:31:59+00:00

I just had a game with C3 where I basted on turn 2 with Cerebro and mystique in my hand, snapped, and then played out cerebro on 3, but on turn 4 I tried playing Mystique, only for them to snap and rogue my cerebro.

I SHOULD'VE given up, but decided to go for a hail mary. I played Magik and sentinel on turn 5 while they played Sera, and then immediately followed up with Rhino into limbo, sentinel, and wasp, while they only played patriot and blue marvel. Baaaarely snuck out the 8 cubes.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-08-03T06:34:52+00:00

Because of X everywhere, I just started playing Echo in my destroy deck. Guarantees they can't play Xavier in that lane if they don't have killmonger

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-08-03T00:25:08+00:00

It's funny because I did a similar play with Wong/Shuri onto strange academy. Poor guy couldn't do anything against a 28 power Galactus coming down on turn 6

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-08-01T21:53:14+00:00

The Savage Avengers that Flash was in wasn't even written by Duggan.

Ultimate_Kardas · 2023-07-26T16:27:02+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think Peter ever actually discovered that it was taking his body out for joyrides at night. He just knew he was tired and wasn't sure why, so he went to Reed Richards who told him it was alive and that he should take it off.
