>FAQ
>What is Marvel Snap?
The GOTY CCG from the creators of Hearthstone. A deck is 12 card singleton. Players play 6 simultaneous turns to 3 lanes. Winning 2 lanes wins the match. Matches are played for ladder ranks (cosmic cubes) and players can SNAP once per match to double the stakes (max 8 cubes).
>What is a card series?
Cards unlock in a random order, but specific cards are unlocked within specific collection level (CL) ranges: Series 1 cards (CL 18-214), Series 2 (222-474), and Series 3 (474+). Series 4 (Rare) and 5 (Super Rare) cards can be purchased directly with Collector’s Tokens that can also be used to buy Series 4 or 5 Snap Packs that are cheaper but dole out random cards from certain pools.

>How can I increase my CL faster?
Upgrade every card you get to green rarity (frame break) ASAP. Spend the rest of your credits how you like.
>When should I snap?
https://marvelsnapzone.com/the-ultimate-snapping-strategy-guide-for-marvel-snap/
>Whose cards reveal first?
The player who is currently winning reveals first. Otherwise at random. The player revealing first has a glowing portrait.
>What should I spend my gold on?
Variants and bundles with tokens.

First for Armor

Oh, the new season is out

>>534212489
Why is Thanos a girl now?

>>534218424
Thanos made a female clone of himself to fuck after his waifu told him to get bent.

>>534218424
That is Nebula.

>>534219226
You're confused. This is Nebula.
Terraxia is a female version of Thanos he created because Death still wasn't paying attention to him even after putting together the Gauntlet.
She was alive for like 1 issue

>>534218636
>>534225250
Wait really? I thought you were making that up lmao

>>534226686
You should read Infinity Gauntlet, it's short and sweet

>>534226978
I can't remember if i read this or not. Is there a page of him looking into some goblet and crying?

>>534227582
Nope

>>534228141
I was thinking of Thanos Quest, which i have read.

goddamn thanos is a wiener

>>534229764
He's a lovable scamp

>>534229764
i got a weiner for you

>>534236343
Only if it's a strap on because I am NOT gay.

Should I keep saving my gold for new variants or should I get collector tokens?

>>534246495
Save your gold for gold bundles, by far the best value you can get, especially if it's a series 5 card you don't already own

>>534246495
Whatever you like. Collector tokens are for speeding up the process of getting new cards.
But a lot of people like the variant collection aspect of the game. You have to make your own fun

>>534247197
Sounds like you both value different aspects of the game. do you think focusing on card utility or aesthetics changes how long you stay engaged with it?

>>534250090
It sounds like you're new. So focusing on getting new cards should probably take priority. But getting cosmetic stuff here and there is fine. If you really like playing Iron Man and you see a nice Iron Man variant then it's fine to buy it.
If you get rank 60 every season and do the conquest rewards and are in an active alliance (you should sign up to [VGS] /snap/ or [VGS] /snap/'s stepsister), opening caches and along with the random ones the game gives away for login rewards or twitch drops then you'll get variants either way.
For some people the variants is the whole game, it's nice to bling out a deck you really like or buy all the variants for a card you're fond of.
And some people don't care and just want every card they can get.
But there's a middle ground.

I got Pedro while aiming for Stardust, give it to me straight how bad will they nerf him

That's my penis she's stepping on.

>>534260009
He's the best 2 drop in the game right now, he power crept Surge and Merlin. He'll probably get some kind of nerf but it's hard to tell exactly what they can do without just killing the card.
Or it might be one of those useless nerfs where they take away 1 power from him.

>>534270002
It's kinda insane how hard they went with 2 drops recently. It's like each month there's a new best one.

>>534275523
2 drops have always been weird. Lizard used to be the best one. Then Jeff, then Thena, then White Widow, then Kate Bishop, then Strange Supreme, then Surge, then Merlin, now Mr Fantastic FS.

SD doesn't know what to do with 2 drops. It's like they want them to be universally good in most decks, but never learn their lesson and always overtune them

Fitting alliance variant for the new season

Tony You can bump me anytime

Bots are brutal today.

>>534285225
And these are the players I'm against. They're the type that bait me into thinking they are the guaranteed loss bots so I just get 1 cube.

My mmr lets me face 4 year olds humans and terminator tier bots ready to assrape you.

>>534286517
BRO.....................that's a bot

Yaaay, around 25games, all games until the last one just now kept me at the same rank, within 1-2 cubes. Then I was blessed with an 8cuber bot.

This is peak gameplay design.

>>534286570
Bro..

Regis is dragging his feet who's got an Agatha list making use of Red Shift

I'd like to think that this was a player paying 3 cubes to see the lightshow.

Niggers tongue my anus.

>>534301649

Boys, I'm really not feeling it anymore. I'll come back when they let us play Sanctum mode again.

>>534306654
I couldn't have come up with "guy who hates Marvel Snap except when Sanctum Showdown is happening" even as a joke

I wish I could be ignorant and unknowing of how this game works. I'd maybe have fun then.

This game is like waking up from your alarm going off, 1hour train to work, 9-5 office job, get back home late and go back to sleep.

>twitch and alliance
The wolfsbane and border would look great too bad the card is garbo they should buff her to a 2 drop or make her a end of turn desu

Anyone tried the Dfiance game? Saw Kripp and Amaz being sponsored for it

>>534327028
What a stupid name. I could literally only find some MMO called defiance.
But I'll give it a try, I try out most digital TCG/CCGs

Hows it going bros, i played marvel snap religiously until Ben Brode tried to justify that paying 100$ for ONE card is fine because "We dont release that many cards". When i realized this shit is going to turn into milking machine.
Anyhow hows game now? is it fun? do they still want you to pay ~100$ for tier 5 card?

>>534330682
Funnily enough I played the game named Defiance 10+ years ago or so and had a blast

>>534327028
I saw kripp play that months ago, and from what it looked like you needed to religiously play the auction house before you could play the game; so no thanks
apparently since then some things changed, but I don't have high enough hopes to even try

>>534334953
Cards are easier to get. You get more tokens from the track now than you used to. But they also release more of them.
It's somewhat easier to target cards you want, since you can just outright buy them but you either have to do it in their release week if they're a series 5 or wait for it to show up in the random selection in the shop.

The game itself is still fun, unbalanced but fun

I have literally never heard of this guy and he's already got more variants than a lot of cards

Cute

I played Debrii on a lane

I then played Nu Silver Surfer on that lane.

At the end of that turn, I was winning their lane. I didn't get more rocks in the other lanes. What the fuck does this card actually do?

>>534346986
Post the screenshot

Cerebro has been left in his monkey-brain fisher-price dipshit mouthbreather state for a whole season. Can they please fucking revert the buff

https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1mjr5du/this_is_kinda_ridiculous/

So someone found out that if you try to buy an emote directly with gold in grand arena the conversation rate from gold to grand arena points is far better than if you buy a card directly despite the card costing less glory. I feel like this is illegal...

>>534340298
He’s a semi niche favorite notable for his valor during the first Annihilation (arguably the only good one) comic event where he sacrificed his life (along with Stardust, who WOULD come back to life) in a joint operation with some of his fellow heralds to free Galactus. Next to the Fallen One, he is a formal herald with the fewest comic appearances although he is probably more obscure.

>>534357516
There's always some new way SD decides to fuck us lmao

>>534357516
That was found out fucking day one. god damn you niggers are slow.

Kek they are paying JWong now.

>>534364761
Is he strapped for cash wtf

>>534365090
He's a fighting game player, so yes

>>534365090
yes bro it's not like he's winning events

>>534364761
>last thread, 3 people talk about using /sfg/
>suddenly they pay Justin Wong to shill their game
SD reads /snap/ CONFIRMED

>>534378471
He has a pretty successful stream and YT channel though.

>>534364761
Yup saw another shill video by someone else. Theyre bleeding players and would rather try to sucker new players instead of fix the game. It's dumb because players won't stick considering how bad the game gets after series 2

>>534379683
Yeah, but I don't believe he's successful enough in those fields that he can afford to not do a paid promo like this. Me personally? I'd be spamming paid promo stuff if I had a wife and kid, as long as it wasn't negatively affecting my traffic.

>lose to Gambit 25% chance
FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>534396834
Don't ever play against discard, zoo, clog, mill, disrupt, destroy, hela. In fact, any archetype. 99% of the time it's a guaranteed loss bot.

>>534396834
I actually fucking hate Gambit. If you play any deck where your 2 or 3 cost matters like Ravonna or something, then Gambit can just instantly win the game. And he's easily repeatable. He should cost 4.

page 10, home

>>534411319
But we're on page 1?

Imma be honest guys, I didn't play the game at all today.

>>534364761
at least they're not paying hasan again
and if you wanna promote your marvel card game, justin wong really isn't the worst choice if the game weren't a dumpster-fire atm anyhow

So how is the new Galactus anyways

>>534420947
Makes you play a minigame where you focus entirely on winning one lane, and in exchange he wins you another lane at the end of the game
Straightforward but sort of predictable and boring, and is also hurt by the fact that if you don't draw him early that entire game plan falls apart.
He just seems ok.

>>534420947
Looks like he's a cunt maxxer, like how red hulk is there just to piss you off.

>releasing stardust and a onslaught bundle only AFTER champion showdown is ending
At least give us two or one more day's retards

You can just snap when you play Black Knight and people will leave. Free cubes!

GEE BILLY

What the hell did I just face?

>>534433430
All I know is that that's a player

I love bots. The moment I changed my play to not contest middle, the bot snapped as soon as I hit end turn.
I wanted to see what it would do so I could learn.
Gambit hit captain carter.

>>534438523
Yes.

Rare full power sage.

"I'm only seeing galactus decks, lets ty that shitty prebuilt one for a while."
>forgot that bots plays around the cards easily and will find a way to win anyway

I can't describe what I'm feeling.

Just look at what they're doing.
Left was t6 cant be played.

"I give up, absolutely no deck works.. It's time to be the scum of the earth and play destroy, I can't possibly lose."

Knull being discarded t1 should have been sign enough.

I think it's time to never touch ladder again. I did for over a year previously.
Just farm silver tickets to convert to boosters.

The absolute state of this dead game.

Can you just stop?

Soon I will hit Infinite and the game will be fun again

Got a gold krackle on gold background split. I think it looks alright, just need a better Odin variant.

>>534460071
Most of his variants emphasize the gold of his armor so that's probably his best split combo thematically

>>534463795
Copper on Copper looks alright with this specific variant

>>534210654 (OP)
Good op

>>534475152
What's good about it

>>534475982
doomsday describes this game pretty well

>>534476085
Which verse

Gambling

>>534485669
Midnight Suns variants look like shit but thanks for your service

Turn 1 I play Black Knight
Turn 2 AGATHA TAKE THE WHEEL

>>534494075
Agatha decks being good is always so lame.
>wow I can meander in whatever the fuck I do because I get a free 6-drop on turn 4 anyways

>>534494075
Agatha Knight was such a fun deck. I fucking hate SD for never fixing the thing where she hogs boosters though

>>534500896
Yeah, there's really no point now that she can't be used to bot farm anymore

SNAP

Didn't think much of Stardust because I don't play decks that cheat out cards until I wanted to play a few games of Phoenix Force and now I hate that card.

>>534511189
He fucks over more cards than you'd think. He counters squirrel girl of all things

>>534512038
what a funny fucking card to pick as your "dude Stardust totally screws this"
not even Zoo as a whole, JUST Squirrel Girl

Apparently Mysterio isn't effected by Stardust. What a stupid card.

>>534517719
I was just using it as an example. He also fucks uo Winter Soldier, Shanna, Dr Doom, Doom 2099. And more.
I didn't feel like making an exhaustive list

>>534522848
Why would it be? Mysterio quite clearly says play copies at each location and Stardust stops cards from appearing except by being played or moved.

i forgot how dogshit the game is now that i'm forced to play ranked again

>>534525368
Not sure. Mysterio breaks the rules a lot like with Bast and Bishop

Nobody's talking about it but Darkhawk is back

>wins every location so you can't use the new card

One last bump before i go to bed

Don't ask why Thanos named his ideal lover homunculus so similarly to Terrax

>>534552635
Tell me why Thanos is a spanish fag attempting to look like a bot in conquest?

>even leddit is getting tired of the bots

>>534559514
They probably only just now realize how few players they've been facing all along.

>>534525368
Funny how Mysterio counts for all sorts of play triggers but does not count as multiple cards for play cards missions. It kind of makes you wonder if SD actually believes he counts as playing multiple cards or not.

>the Mysterio guy is still butthurt 2 years later

Just admit it's a gay card with gay implementation and move on.

>>534570065
I'm kind of glad I didn't get the pass if for no other reason that I don't have to do the weekend missions.

>>534570065
It is, yes, but crying gets us nowhere

I hate Marvel Snap

Well now that the dust has settled is Moleman really worth it?
