Marvel Snap - you likely have an addiction - The Bear and Badger

GooberTheHat

Thanks for this thread! I've now spent the last 4 hours playing this game and can no longer afford my mortgage, my wife is leaving me and the dog's been sick on the stairs!

I've had it on my phone for a bit and played it 3 times, I think. I lay some cards, I win a game, some flashy messages appear telling me I've earned X, Y and Z, I find something else to do.

Maybe it gets interesting, but it doesn't start out interesting, and I can't stand the presentation.

Have played this, and liked it a fair bit, but rarely play anything on my phone so can't claim to be level 1 bazillion like everyone else.

I also enjoyed the piece Eurogamer did on the Agatha card.

Gonna bring this game up any time I'm ripped for being a fut rat.

I have not played this. I do not intend to play this. There's an 87% chance I'd hate it and a 13% chance I'd get addicted, neither of which are great outcomes.

It’s a great game this. I’ve been playing it almost every day for past few months. I’m all in on the Ironheart / Wong / Onslaught / Odin combo with Magik played on turn five. Get the order right and most opposition players think you’re losing only for you to drop Odin on turn seven to get a 4 x 6 x 4 = 96 points on your final turn. If you stick to only using two locations that’s pretty much 48 points per location. So satisfying.

Wong gets a straight Cosmo from me. Worst card in the game.

C’mon now, who uses Cosmo honestly? Play the game to win on your terms and not by negating the creativity of others. You know it to be true.

Its a legit card in the game, it can absolutely be used to win on my own terms, which involve getting Wong telt.

Cosmo to fuck off Galactus simps.

I had a denial deck for a while, designed entirely around annoying other players.

stellavista

Enough of this denial decks madness. My other favourite move is Venom then Arnim Zola at Bar Sinister. I’ve only done it once or twice but so sweet when it pays off.

I'm a full blown Nimrod, Wolverine, Galactus absolute prick. Teamed with flooding with the Gobbos, it's fun.

Currently rolling Thanos at the moment tho.

I'm still doing my Move deck, but have been having a go with an Agatha discard deck which is very confusing for your opponent.

Would love a go on that. What's the 12?

Gremill

Blade, Morbo, Wolverine, Okoye, Colleen Wing, Moon Knight, Sif, Swordmaster, Hellcow, Hela, Apocalypse, Agatha.

You can swap in Swarm, Black Cat etc. for preference.

I started playing this yesterday. I take it when you talk about ‘Move decks’ that there are more cards like Nightcrawler whose position you can change, and you fill a deck with them so that in the final round you can redistribute them as you need them? Or is it something else entirely?

A "move" deck involves about 6-7 characters who all get a Heimdell at the end of the round and cause absolute chaos.

If you're new,just fuck around and find out, and then if a particular card seems intriguing let us know and I'm sure someone can build a deck around that.

You want to be at least 470 level before the fu starts, which i know can be a big slog.

Yeah, there's a few cards that can move and a few cards that move those cards.

Playing modok and hela behind an invisible girl, means you discard the deck before pulling it back in on turn 6.

Wrote this in February for folks getting started which is a bit out of date but gives you a few ideas for starter decks.

The majority of replies to this so far are basically the reason I never started a thread.

Thanks reg for giving me a reason to frequent this dark corner of (mostly) negativity more than I currently do

regmcfly

You're welcome. Drew, I'll post my successful move deck later. Uses cards like Human Torch, who doubles power each time he moves, Dagger, who gets +2 for each enemy card at the location it goes to and so on. Others, like merging a Vulture (+5 when it moves) with a Hulk Buster, can become really powerful.

Hit it with a Heimdell at the end and the opponent usually doesn't do the mental maths for all the chaos.

Yesterday I finally cleared Pool 3, and I'm on level 88 with the season pass, mostly due to pinning and saving for a High Evolutionary deck that can be ruthless if you keep hitting the opponent with a Cyclops.

Olimite

Move decks are too predictable. It’s almost a given that it’s Heimdell at the end. I always stack right.

Got High Evo at the weekend - the energy reduction element is easily countered with Luke Cage, but if you can get Hulk and Abomination going with it before they can get him out it's pretty good. I've added in Thor and Jane Foster for bit of a fall back too.

I find my most successful decks are the ones with a built in second win condition or at least a few defence/offence cards to counter. My move deck has Moon Girl and Devil Dino in case I can't get the main win condition met. I also really love playing my Cerebro3 deck as it's full of cards that fuck with the playing field as well as your opponent. Must be so frustrating to play against.

Stuck in the early 70s this season as I've been playing a lot of the new conquest mode which can be either great fun as you try and suss each other out over 5 or 6 rounds, or and exercise in frustration if you get a bad match up.

regmcfly

Haven't got going with Conquest outside of the starter rounds, but understand how it can be insane.

What's Cerebro3?

Gremill

A deck of 3 power cards with Bast, Cerebro and Mystique to buff (+4 on every card the same power). Lots of cards that destroy or change locations or fuck with opponent placement.

I can’t remember the last time I got a new card, seriously.

Olimite

Conquest needs to have the ability of using more than one deck or I see it dying quickly.

GooberTheHat

Yeah, 5 matches against a deck you know you can't beat isn't much fun.

Howdy, Stranger!
