I do some really stupid gooseberry fool in this game but occasionally it works out:

1) First to fill gets a 0 cost 6 card
2) Changes to one of the other locations in T3 (turns into Location 1
3) Cards are not revealed until game ends

Opponent plays Wave T3. I'm playing an Ultriot deck so decide to chance my arm with Ultron and fill both the Raft locations, giving me boostable drones and a choice of six cards to play in the remaining location. Except I'm not paying attention and I play into the third location so it doesn't trigger :fp:

Fortunately for me, my opponent plays Leader on Location 2 so it copies my Ultron to his side and does trigger him, so I fill both his locations with 1 cost cards - I really didn't deserve to win that one :lol:

I'm still tweaking my Move to Control deck. It's seeing slow progress through the ranks (gone from 60 to 68), so the latest changes seem to be improvements.

What does everyone think of Conquest mode? I like it, I think the rewards are well balanced, but I do wish that it had a sideboard like MTG used to have (presumably still does), so you could swap in from a choice of a small number of cards after the first round. It feels like sometimes you just know your deck doesnt have a chance due to what you're playing against and there's no way to change it.

I've only gone on Conquest a couple of times, it just feels like such a time commitment though. I normally only open the app to play maybe one or two games at a time so having to sit and play seven games in a row against the same person and deck is very different. Can be tense though, managed to claw back and win after being down to my last two bars and needing to win 4 games in a row or something.

I'm also avoiding Conquest. Even though I usually end up playing loads of games in a row anyway, knowing I can quit at any time is part of the appeal. I can just have one quick game or a dozen if the urge hits. Conquest feels like to much of a commitment.

I know that's completely bonkers but I guess it's a psychological conundrum.

The only way I'd play conquest is if I really wanted the Monthly Variant. Like you guys have said, it's a bit too much of a commitment. Also seems to have some flaws

Plus it's pay to skip the ladder grind,which is just dumb.

Like I don't really understand how the infinite border is any kind of achievement when you can just buy your way to the final level.

Just seems like a mode that's heavily targeted at whales or people that ONLY play snap.

I'm sorry but the new Great Web location is strawberry floating gooseberry fool.

Comes out without fail to strawberry float up my Destruction and Sprouty decks. And when I actually use my Move deck to take advantage of it, it rarely appears.

Literally bullshit.

Plonk kraven there and it’s bearable but I agree it’s not a good location. Up there with danger room for pure bullshit - 25% chance? Yeah right it’s like 90% for me and 1% for opponents

I've had Hela for ages but only now have I discovered the Hela Lockjaw Discard deck.

:lol:

it is absolutely ridiculous. BRB while Morbius and Dracula lockdown a location solo

Can't believe I didn't play it sooner

Talk me through how it works? You play discard cards but it goes back into deck to use again then last turn Hella for the massive card drop. Is that the gist?

Trouble I have with discard decks is ensuring that hella and ghost rider don’t get discarded before turn 6. Or with lockjaw you might swap in hella before you are ready.

Just used 5000 collector tokens to unlock yet another Venom variant :oops:

It does look really nice though :shifty:

Upgraded Carnage again and now his background is golden and just reminds me of Lockets.

Discard decks are great, but there is always an element of gambling that you may discard cards you wanted to keep. A good balance is essential!

No RNG required! Well apart from Gambit, bit he's really an alternate Wincon with Wong and Mystique

you are a madman using tokens on variants but as someone who spent 1200 gold on taco hulk, i love it.

Feeling like I might have to ditch my destruction deck as the RNG seems strawberry floated this season. My deck worked amazingly well last season but now it's a real rarity that I ever draw Carnage and/or Venom, stopping me from building any momentum. It's still a good deck but the chance of drawing certain cards has very clearly been adjusted in a very negative way. Think I've played about ten matches this morning and I've seen Venom once.

Interesting as I’m using my machine gun gambit and finding I rarely pull him when needed. Worse still I’m getting matched against a lot of destruction decks. Nothing worse than pulling off the combo only to hit Nova, wolverine or Bucky! In some cases I’ve hit wolverine multiple times in a row truly screwing my self!

PostRe: Marvel Snap by **Zilnad** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 11:17 am

Wow, that is unlucky! :lol:

There have to be some complex variables in the background, automatically adjusting each individuals chances of anything and everything. I know nothing with coding is every truly random but it does feel noticeably weighted recently.

PostRe: Marvel Snap by **Sprouty** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 3:15 pm

Even matchmaking feels overly engineered. The number of times that I've swapped decks, only for matchmaking to completely change the decks of my opponents is silly. Just because I'm using a deck of low cost cards, shouldn't mean that I am forced to play against others who have a similar structured deck.

I'm not even convinced that I'm playing humans a lot of the time. Have had multiple opponents recently, completely ignoring location abilities to their own detriment (such as destroying their own cards without reason). Strange.

I've played one match against Jean and I hate her already

PostRe: Marvel Snap by **Moz** » Tue Jul 11, 2023 9:42 pm
