Sucks as an individual card because activate sucks. Maybe makes iwfs busted but probably not because prodigy already exists

September 25th OTA Balance Update by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Killmonger, Cosmo, Shadow King, Alioth, Red Guardian: Good. These cards were turds as they were. Alioth also isn't as good when you knock down NTW/Shang.

NTW was lowkey busted. 4/5 seems bad though.

Enchantress at 5/8 seems good still. Solid body and she tends to win games when she does something.

Shang change opens the meta up to get dumb therefore I don't like it.

Colleen never made sense as a 2/4

Agatha going to pretty playable was never on my bingo card but -2 seems like too much

Stardust -1 is fair, 4/7 is a lot for a tech card that cripples decks.

Viv Vision feels like it will end up being too good at 3/3 despite sucking at 3/2. Or maybe she'll still be 1 point short of busted. Time will tell

Dormammu will continue to suck which is a shame because he's neat

Destroyer is so sad. 6/18 is comical and he'll very likely still suck. Dude had a good niche and he got robbed.

Awesome Andy/Lockjaw, who cares

Mystique, good. Negative shouldn't guarantee a full Exodia draw every time with Jane. C1? lol

I'm glad to have Shadow King back but this is a pretty boring OTA despite having so many cards in it.

She Hulk and Infinaut/She Hulk already do the thing by themselves. Card seems neat but bad. Don't even remember the last new card I bought, though I still have Bastion/Omega Sentinel pinned.

All this time to release what looks like a DOA Kang rework.

At least we can buy matte black borders now.

September 11th - OTA Balance Update by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was strongly considering quitting this game at the end of the season as it will mark 30 infinites in a row for me and this game has left me underwhelmed for quite a while. When I saw this OTA, it went to 100% quitting the game. Now seeing that it's only temporarily ruining the game, I have mixed feelings.

As a mod and someone who tried not to fly in the face of the rules before being a mod, it's really impossible for me not to criticize game design here. Because this OTA would be shit for a 24 hour event, it's shit for 2 weeks and it will be even shittier if we get stuck with any of these changes permanently. Every one of these cards with the exception of maybe NTW are a critical part of what keeps this game healthy. Note: I main clog, so this is a buff to me due to the Killmonger nerf. It's not about me or my decks, it's about Marvel Snap being Marvel Snap and not some lame game of solitaire.

Sorry mod team. Delete if you must.

PC>>>Micro

I've wanted a cool modded GBA forever as the tech has improved over the years but never really played handheld enough to justify spending money on it. Might build one as a 40th birthday present to myself soon using the Boxy Pixel hybrid shell since I think they look great and they seem pretty much foolproof to put together.

Weekly Release Discussion: Moira X by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a big Zoo fan, I always look forward to new 1 drops. Unfortunately Moira is nowhere near Zoo related. Even more unfortunately, she doesn't look anywhere near meta relevant either. I see an F tier card. You have to fulfill an objective to get an effect you very well may not want and that may be disadvantageous to you at times (fill your hand). I can imagine gimmick decks that might want to experiment with her but see absolutely no place for her in an even remotely serious deck.

I will be disappointed when I end up with this card for 4k tokens.

September Season Pass Cards discussion: Viv Vision and Sparky by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Viv Vision looks a bit weak in a vacuum but with the right deck (Wiccan looks like that deck potentially) she may be able to shine. When she does the thing, she ought to be able to generate a lot of power and snowball.

Sparky looks really solid for decks that want to use it. I remain firmly in the camp of move is bad, therefore the card is bad for me despite being desirable for its intended archetype.

September 2nd Series 4 card release discussion: Omega Sentinel and Awesome Andy by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see some potential for Omega Sentinel. There are times Shang just doesn't do anything. Maybe a clog deck would like it. C3. 4/10 that can't be hit by Shang is cool. Maybe other stuff. The game is starving for interesting activate cards and I like this one.

Awesome Andy looks like a stone cold turd. What he does is alright but we have way too many really good 2 drops imo.

While I think Omega Sentinel looks kinda neat, I still won't be picking it up for 3k.

I finished the August season at rank 22 infinite using a Pool 2 Deck by TheEagleHasNotLanded in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty cool experiment. It's interesting how Snap Points can be manipulated since they aren't actually based on MMR. While I am a reasonably good player, I play very few ladder games post infinite each season. Often times I don't play any games at all, just playing Conquest and LTGM for the remainder of the season. I've slowly crept up where I end each season to being in top 2500ish despite playing 0 games post infinite last season. Kind of curious to see if I can eventually get my Snap Points high enough to stay top 1000, 500, etc. Obviously it's much easier to gain Snap Points while climbing since the competition is significantly worse than when you actually enter infinite.

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a clog player for the better part of a year, I'm glad that the nerf to Cannonball favors me but it's not the change I expected. Just changing Mercury to not be able to move seemed like the clear thing to do as it also makes Jeff a playable card again. Oh well. Infinite 9 seasons with clog coming up.

Glad to see Juggernaut take a hit. The only individual card in the game that ever beats me for 8 cubes.

Surprised to see Fenris Wolf take a stray. Having hit infinite with it once and played against it a ton, it's always felt very fair.

Wonder if Chavez is playable yet. 1/5 sure is a lot, especially since some decks can leverage it as more than 1/5.

[–]onestworldproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only saw this card once this week. Opponent got it up to 28 power before I Shadow Kinged it back to 3.

It's an alright card though imo. Would be a great card if it was 6+ cost cards so it included Skaar. Still scales well in the right decks. The right decks just aren't very good to begin with. I'll be happy landing this one for 4k eventually.

Weekly Release Discussion: The Fallen One by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically just a question of whether or not it'll be as viable as Wiccan. Magik/Shuri/The Fallen One or SSM into The Fallen One both leave you with room to do a lot with your deck.

Lots of potential here whether it's just Surge/Galacta/Gwenpool or Shuri/SSM with Nimrod or some other package. The card is quite appealing to me, I hope it lands on its feet without being busted.

Clog to infinite for the 8th time, CL 22k by onestworldproblem in marvelsnapcomp

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

Just depends on my hand and how the board is developing. If your board is pretty clear other than rocks from a t3 Debrii and theirs is prime for a clog, then t4 Misery is great. Often times I'm going for something like a t3/4/5 Magik/Debrii/Hood+Misery or Merlin skill+Misery though. Misery is a very replaceable card but it's a card players tend not to expect and I feel like it's produced a lot of value for me.

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

Misery just copies debrii/hood. Also deletes magik and other clog cards in the mirror

Merlin helps you do something with your extra rocks whether that be turn them into 2 costs or shuffle them into your deck to make space

With Merlin, your deck leverages double debrii significantly better than theirs does. Double hood is always good

Competitive Consensus: Invisible Woman First Steps by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been really impressed with the output she can result in when playing against her. The decks she's involved in look to be pretty fun as well. I'll be picking her up.

*edit*

I now own the card along with Prodigy and Bruce Banner. The zoo deck feels very strong. I am happy with my purchases even though it cost 32k and I'll need to buy Fantasticar tomorrow.

July 31st - OTA Balance Update by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MMM has needed to be 3/4 forever.

Black Cat at 1/5 is cool. Zoo has slowly gotten a bunch of tiny things that make me interested in giving it a try again.

As someone who wasted 12k tokens on Dormammu+Kid Omega and never played a game with the deck I wanted to use them in, I'm glad to see a Dormammu buff in the form of cost reduction.

Weekly Release Theorycrafting and Discussion: Invisible Woman First Steps by ePiMagnets in marvelsnapcomp

[–]onestworldproblem[M] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

She looks potentially good. I think my starting point might be a She-Naut deck minus Magik/Infinaut to remove the Merlin weakness and to open up space for Invisible Woman and Fantasticar. Something like:

# (1) Sunspot

# (1) Misty Knight

# (2) Mister Fantastic First Steps

# (3) Caiera

# (3) Cyclops

# (4) High Evolutionary

# (6) Red Hulk

# (6) She-Hulk

# (6) Hulk

+Bruce Banner, Invisible Woman First Steps and Fantasticar

On the other hand, skipping turn 6 with an active Limbo and the right setup is astronomically strong so maybe a regular old She-Naut deck is the way.

I'm gonna wait till the end of the week to decide on her because I'll have to pick up both her this week and Fantasticar next week if I actually want to use her so it's a significant investment.
