So, quick dolphin spender maths. How many keys to save up for the 9th of July, assuming you want 4 spotlights in a row. Easy answer is 16, but you'll usually gain 2-3 more during a month, so 13 or so I guess for 100%. Only 0.4% chance of needing all 16, and 2% chance of needing 15, so allowing for some bad luck, I'd guess about 11-12 keys stored by then?

Jeff, this was a well thought out video. I appreciate the ending part of who you would spend your tokens on outside of the schedule. Thanks to you and your editor for the work you put in to share information

Worth noting about purchasing cards with tokens, there will supposedly be a series drop some time in the next couple of months. I believe it was said back in January that there should be one in the April-June timeframe. And they also mentioned in the discord that there will be more info made available soon (tm)

I think Sersi is a bit (just a bit) underated in those pre-release reviews. I think in a "tokens" deck things like rocks, Mysterio clones and squirrels can get some good value from the upgrade. Random location spawns can also be upgraded. And the most fun will be upgrading little gifts like hoods, goblins and voids.

Always excellent spotlight breakdowns, thanks!

Great advice on the end, prioritize fun people, this is a game! It's supposed to make you happy =) I'll be prob picking up Miek with tokens for example, because I want to get his spotlight variant alongside the David Mack PF. It's not an optimal choice, but splitting cards with arts I love makes me feel good! Take care everyone!

Amazing update, quick and good formulated!!! Thankyou for everything you add to the community

thank you for making this video, super helpful and informative!!! i always look forward to hearing your takes on upcoming cache values. probably going to spend my keys on namora, thena, and copycat as someone who missed skaar and cull obsidian 😩

Thanks for taking the time to work on this.

Really appreciate the work on this video! Even though I am one card off from complete collection (Martyr is always jumping away from me 😂), it was useful to watch because it made me reconsider when I was I was planning to use keys or not. Because maybe opening just for variants is not optimal depending on how much useful the card is or how much I play with it! Anyway, that was my personal take from this, Thank you!

Sadly, may is looking like a very uninteresting month for me. Good time to pull back on play time and just collect some resources. June, on the other hand, will be a banger. Too bad Arishen is so far away, cant wait to play around with it

Great video. As a returning player I have a lot of cards I need to fill out some decks and this content is superb in helping me. Thanks!

These are very helpful, thanks for putting it together.

Looks like i’ll be saving keys for July. Thanks for still making these!

Great breakdown of the upcoming Spotlight caches!

This is a fantastic video! Im really excited for the Eternals season since they have abilties that are very fun to mess around with. Sersi, Phastos and Arishem are the ones Im looking forward to.

Sweet, sweet new cards!! Can't wait to catch em all!

For me personally, I'm hesitant to spend tokens on cards that haven't been in spotlights recently or in the data mines, because I think those are strong candidates to be series dropped. Of course, we have no timeline on that, but hopefully it's next month's patch.

Thoughts on Annihilus?

Great video. I love the part at the end of running through best token purchases for cards that are not in a spotlight cache. That's super helpful. Question for you. Proxima and Beta Ray Bill are the only two in upcoming spotlights that I do not own. Where would you put those two next to Red Guardian or Pixie in terms of best use of my tokens? I have 18,000 tokens and can purchase Red Guardian right now but wasn't sure if BRB or Proxima are a better token purchase.

Hey Jeff. I think Makkari will be good in some (or all) Surfer decks. Often the biggest problems in Surfer is not being able to get out enough 3-drops, and this just gives you one for free. I think Makkari will be fantastic in Surfer decks that try to get multiple Surfer triggers.

Great breakdown. Got my grocery list ready for next month! Thanks as always

Love the reminder to get the card that sparks joy!

thx for the content. I start marvel snap two months ago and currently only have a destroy deck. Is there any video I should watch to know which series 5 cards series 4 cards are real important or ‘defining the deck’ if i want to play some different decks?

You are so smart and well spoken!! It blows my mind!!

Do you guys buy mainly series 4 cards with collector tokens or do you go for the series 5 cards? Seems like series 4 cards with collector tokens + planning to go for effective series 5 spotlight weeks is the most valueble right?

That is an ideal plan till you have all the s4 cards you want yeah

Gonna pick namora just because i’am missing BK and gonna save the rest for arisem and phastos. Also hopefully they give us that Hercules rework

Yo Jeff I think Annihulus could be a good pick up for tokens as well as we don’t see him returning in the next few months !

How bout Anihilus for the 6k tokens?

Are BK and Skaar even worth picking up anymore? That week seemed like the best value for caches but with the death of Zabu, I'm not sure anymore.

Oooh, ahhh! I like this video! Positive vibes!

I think I'd start Sage out in the Jean Grey prison deck over Punisher. Obviously card evaluation ahead of time is hard, but I'll bet she's larger than Punisher on average in that deck.

The only reason why I'm using keys in the Sasquatch week is because it has the variants I want the most and I have all the returning cards. I'll use tokens for the 1st 2 weeks.

Jeff, do you recommend cache in in Sage week

No, Mockingbird wasn't downgraded. We haven't had any series drops since January, and Mockingbird came out in March, so there hasn't been a drop since Mockingbird has been a card at all.

These are a really great resource, but I'm not sure how helpful it is to rate the cache as a whole since I would imagine most people (at least most watching Snap content) will have at least one if not both returning cards. It seems more useful to rate the cards individually and then maybe give an average for the cache. Either way, appreciate your thoughtful reviews!

@HooglandiaSnap

Ай бұрын

I very explicitly talk about what makes the different caches good in the actual content. You are right that it isn't very useful to people who are just scrapping the video for star rating and ignoring all context though.

Unfortunately for me, I love Alpha Flight (have the entire comic series), and therefore will be "wasting" 6k tokens and keys to get that awesome Sasquatch variant. Scratch that. It's not "unfortunate". This is a game and it's meant to be fun. Getting an awesome variant for a beloved character sounds like fun to me. Hopefully the luck Gods will grant me my card in 1 key, but I'll use all 4 if needed!

Wow, every July cache has a card I skipped/ haven't cared to obtain. Hope I have enough keys by then!

US AGENT!! US AGENT!! Saving those tokens for that fun factor. Two drops are pretty good usually... GM being an exception 😆

16:08 hey, I thoroughly enjoy sitting on my tokens like a dragon. I wish I could convert cards to tokens so I could hoard all the tokens!

@michaelbesser5348

Ай бұрын

I kind of think they did that on purpose, tbh. Sasquatch looks like an incredible card in the Mysterio Mockingbird packages people are already playing, so I think they weighed down Sasquatch's cache with S4 cards (one of which is unplayably bad) to reduce the value of the cache.

@jonblanchard3949

Ай бұрын

What's more fun to you? Getting a new card you're excited about using or saving for another card in the future? Only you can answer that one. Use tokens if you have them. You have 4 weeks to get enough resources to cover that week, whether it's tokens or keys. That variant for Sasquatch sealed the deal for me. Efficient usage of resources be damned!

Wait…Jeff wants me to get cards to have fun? Does he think this is a game?

I feel like ur significantly over rating how important a cache card being series 4 is, like, sure it's half as many tokens but like, there are plenty of series 4 cards i would rather over 2 random series 5 cards, and it's really more important to consider how important the cards are tobthe decks they're played in than their series, cause ravonna and pf are extremely important to their decks, so if you wanna play w them, u should probably go for those caches
