Why preface that comment as 'not an insult'?

I’m glad you explained the psychology and mindset behind snapping each round

Really appreciate the high-quality way that the information is presented in your videos.

I was told wrong the whole time 🤔. I was told to SNAP turn 1 because well thw games name is SNAP right ? Riiiight ??

"Snapping because they snapped." This is me lmao, how dare you snap at me? This is an 8 cube game now.

I played a game with a good example of @12:45 where my opponent snapped after they avoided the Hulk location and I had 3 cards change into Hulks. I figured that meant they had Shang so I maintained priority going into turn 6 and intentionally held my Aero for that turn. I snapped going into 6, yanked their Shang away and took 8 cubes to the bank. Felt really good to sniff out my opponent’s power play simply by them snapping at a specific time

Hi, thank you so much for this! I was stuck around rank ~85, so close to that sweet 500 gold but never quite reaching 90. I felt that my biggest problem was that I had no idea when to snap. This video made the difference to me; I started applying what you explained - it took me some games to improve, but I did start climbing again. Thank you!

Early after launch, I was one of those guys that would snap when people would take forever like, "wake up!". Now, I almost never snap. All my "win with a snap" missions are usually completed cause the other person snapped, lol. Personally, I think the reason why I don't snap is just raw confidence in the cards and my ability to play them. That to me, is my core issue: confidence.

You are my favorite content creator (outside of the meme stuff lol), you are always helpful and never condescending, and I appreciate it!

Loving the content I’ve just recently found u thru a twitch raid one night

I’ve watched half a dozen other vids on snapping and this blows them away. Great content. I’m glad you’re doing Marvel snap vids now. I quit (temporarily?) Hearthstone because snap games are way faster and I have adult responsibilities to take care of.

I was stuck at 85ish for like a week, then i climbed 100 cubes after watching this. Thank you EC for getting me to the 500 gold threshold :)

Very interesting and informative content, thank you for taking your time presenting these type of videos for us! Have a great day and take care.

You are a great communicator on top of a great player mate. Thanks for this masterclass

I have watched this video several times and really apprec8 it. Thank you for your content and thank you for your analysis.

Thank you for the great explanation and insight!

Easily the most informative content about marvel snap.

Brilliant videos keep them coming Colins. Edit: Just wanted to mention that playing my Bro in friendly battles has got me tilted and showed me how much potential every and any game scenario can have but the smart player will always try to do best whilst the other will make you suffer for staying in when you had the clear option to press RETREAT button.

Your videos have been so helpful in better understanding the game. Thank you! Hoping to hit infinite this upcoming season.

This is so helpful and thorough! I'm around collection level 750 and almost never snap cause I had no idea how to tell when I had a good shot at winning or not until turn 6, and I hated to snap on turn 6 cause I thought they might retreat and then there's no point. But then I have trouble getting to higher ranks cause it's just win 2 cubes, lose 2 cubes, win 2 cubes, lose 2 cubes...etc. Going to try these tips and see if I can rank up more!

Dang you deserve way more subs!!

Thanks for the content! Really appreciate! Keep going!

Don't worry about the length of the video everything you provided to us has been incredible, I prefer the little anger vids anyway. Also been using your Zabu deck made it to 97 can't seem to push any higher though unfortunately. I'm at 5K CL and started the season at rank 10. With the new location not sure how I'm going to adjust with the deck, maybe tech a sandmam for turn 5 or run a completely different deck.of you had all the cards would you make any changes to your current list? .. anyways Keep up the good work king! 👑 Thank you sensi!

Very informative. Thanks!

What a masterclass

On a related note to snaps influencing how I play out the turn, the context clues surrounding a snap can have a huge effect on how I react. If the opponent is snapping turn 3 after Bar Sinister just appeared, I'm fully expecting a Green Goblin play to follow. Conversely, if I snap in the same situation, I've had times when the opponent played Bar Sinister turn 3 with something I could have easily overcome just to stop my Green Goblin play. Part of the "poker face" aspect of snap is disguising the reason why you are snapping so the opponent is less likely to predict what you will do. For instance, snapping immediately after Death's Domain appears when your big play is actually in The Vault on the left. Perhaps you bait them into playing an Armor on Death's Domain, thinking you will play Bucky or Wolverine. Appreciate the more in-depth look at the idea that goes further than "snap when your hand is good/retreat when your hand is bad."

Marvel SNAP's Sun Tzu, great content!

My question is about snapping on T5 with Daredevil or in general with decks that win on T5? What are you thoughts on decks that consistently win 2 cubes (Daredevil, Zabu/ Spiderman, Galactus) vs. decks that win 4/8 cubes on T6 like Surfer .

I would love a part 2 or any additional info on snapping. Thank you Mr 400

Your right about knowing when your behind and stuff. When I snap I'm too confident sometimes and then don't wanna lose the cubes from myself snap. Then I end up losing 8 cos they counter snap and then it pisses me off. I get pissed off when I lose cos I hate to lose.

I'm going to have to look at this vid a few times.

Awesome video. I think it'd be interesting to make a video about playing mind games with the opponent with emotes!

That’s just not my style so I probably won’t have advice on that.

Incredible video

Great advice. Especially on the Zabu! I dropped him from my hand because I started making too many ballsy snaps and losing big cubes. I’m only in pool 2, so just learning! Switched away from Zabu / Dino to a storm deck and having a lot more luck.

I’m probably a late snapper. Usually with my Shuri deck i snap after she is down or my Wong. Which works but maybe i can snap before those cards. Ill try. I hate when i’m locked in and they snap. Because that means they usually have some tech card that kills my play.

You right I be so in the game I forget sometimes

Just a comment on the Leech play. If your opponent snaps on turn 5 usually Leech will be the best play. If they are snapping, they usually will have their win-con in their hand at that time. Easiest 4 cubes when they retreat on T6. :)

Hey Collins.. thanks for the video. One doubt I have about what you said on the timing to snap… for example using the Wong example u gave. U say I should snap before using my Wong.. but what if the enemy by chance has a Rogue or Enchantress or Cosmo and totally ruins my combo? Didn’t I snap wrong then? Wouldn’t be better to wait a round at least to see if a counter is coming? Or it is still worth the risk and take the gamble.. and if the enemy counters then just leave before the loss is even bigger?

On average you will be ahead by snapping before. If they have the answer, they have it. Can't always play around that and that mentality will make you never snap.

similar to what collins said, you have to play out the long game, snapping isn't about whether you win that specific game, but rather if the game played similarly over 10 games how often would you win those 10 games. Just because you snapped and lost doesn't necessarily mean it was the wrong decision, if you have a 99% chance of winning the correct play is to snap even though you will lose 1% of the time. On the other side, if you snap on a 1% chance to win and you won doesn't mean it was the right choice either, retreating there was still the right choice.

I’m still bad at telling my opponents deck but that comes down to memory I think

Good video. Needs to be said though that for infinite and beyond all this goes out the window for a lot of players. Perhaps it's unusual but personally I don't care in the least about cube management and correctly retreating or not at infinite rank. See no point in climbing higher than 100 so I will stay in games I'm 90% certain I will lose no matter if it's 8 cubes on the line. Sometimes I will purposely go into turn 6 even if I'm 100% sure I'm lost just to be nice and donate cubes if the person I'm fighting isn't using the infinite title. Also very rare that I snap myself. Don't want the opponent to retreat. More fun to play out the match.

After infinite a lot of these tools become irrelevant because the player skill is so different and people have different motivators for playing but this is just a guide for people looking to push and to hit infinite.

As I've seen it ....ideally your rng makes an impact...however it also depends on the location...& u can throw a opponent off completely with correct cards

Snap whenever you want however you want, It doesn't matter. Unless you are in a proving ground, In which case, If you take it past round 3, Eat apple seeds for dinner.

Could you please do a video on ranking Series 4 & 5 cards? Or at least give your thoughts on them. I'm especially interested in your thoughts on Thanos, Galactus, and Knull as solo cards in decks. Are they viable as solo cards to build around? Worth the 6k tokens?

@@EducatedCollinsSnap Thanks! I really appreciate it. I think Darkhawk is dropping at the end of February too. It will be interesting to see how the Zabu nerf affects him.

Also, I keep getting timed out, because I've played my move, then the opponent snaps and it undoes my move, and the game is waiting for me to end turn but I have no idea. Then next move you only have seconds to play. It sucks.

I found always snapping before rank 70 is a good thing, half your opponents are bots of dodgy decks, so In my experience I did climb very very fast. But then once I hit 70, its a complete roadblock as I cant outpower peoples decks, my surfer deck pre nerf couldn't outpower darkhawk/zero decks even with Shang, even though it was alledgedly one of the best decks in the game it just doesnt have enough power.

My issue is I’m a timid snapper, or I forget to snap. I win a lot of 2 cube games that should have been 4

One thing I preach about snapping for people who NEVER snap is that mathematically NEVER snapping is worse than first turn snapping. Think about it, if you NEVER snap and gain 1 cube per game on average then first turn snapping would double your gain to 2 cubes per game on average. The only way to do better than first turn snapping is when you snap games that you think will win and retreat if you think you'll lose.

Since you are so far ahead in rank you must have seen good amount of bots I assume? So can you tell me if a bot ever won against you? I lost a game today against a bot. Where it countered me every turn.

30 minutes......... I just want to know how it works. I lost 8 in the first round, and won 3 consecutive rounds after ti catch up cause somehow when I snapped it was for max 2.....

I snap when Zabu is on my hand before turn 4.
