The Devil went up to Canada. He was lookin' for a soul to steal. He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind and he was willing to make a deal When he came across this young man shoppin’ at Costco and shoppin’ it hot. And the Devil jumped upon the food court stand and said, "Boy, let me tell you what." "I guess you didn't know it, but I'm a Marvel Snap player, too. And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you. Now you play a pretty good Conquest, boy, but give the Devil his due. I'll bet a Card Back of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you." The boy said, "My name's Alex, and it might be a sin, But I'll take your bet; you're gonna regret 'cause I'm the best there's ever been." Alex, cook up your brew and play your 12 cards hard. 'Cause Hell's broke loose in Canada and the Devil deals the cards. And if you win you get this shiny Card Back made of gold, But if you lose the Devil gets your soul. The Devil opened up his case and he said, "I'll start this show." And fire flew from his fingertips as he shuffled up his deck. And he pulled the opening hand across the board and it made an evil hiss. And a deck of OP cards joined in and it went something like this. *Black knight, Blade, Lady Sif, Ebony Blade Right, MODOK, top decked Hella, 60 points each lane* When the Devil finished, Alex said, "Well, you're pretty good, old son, But sit down in that chair right there, let me show you how it's done." “Shang Chi on the Left Lane“. Run, boys, run! The Devil's in the house of the Costco hotdog bun; Grand Master on the Shang Chi picking off points. Ben Brode, is your economy good? No, child, no. The Devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat. And he laid that golden Card Back on the ground at Alex’s feet. Alex said, "Devil, just come on back, if you ever wanna try again, I done told you once, you son of a Cosmo, I'm the best that's ever been." And he played: “Shang Chi on the Left Lane“. Run, boys, run! The Devil's in the house of the Costco hotdog bun; Grand Master on the Shang Chi picking off points. Ben Brode, is your economy good? No, child, no.

the other "banger" card from the Nebula month was Howard the Duck XD

Great video from the both of you. Glad you guys still have fun creating these content.

My biggest beef with Nocturne is how brutally I got roasted in her spotlight caches! My first pull was the random series 4/5 card... which turned into Caiera... which turned into 1000 tokens, because I already had her. Oof! I didn't even get the cool variant!

Tell me about it, the past two cards that I decided to go for cost me 8 keys! Yet, my friend has pulled the new card first go three times in a row. It pisses me off because we roughly only get a key per week. Then it gives you a random card you already have or a variant you don’t want!

The fifth card Cozy can't remember is probably Kitty Pride, there was a lot of talk because she directly countered Nebula right after Nebula got released.

I think you and Cozy should record a few Friendly Battles and put your friendship through the wringer.

happy to see your vid suggested before cozy’s. all love for both tho.

I love this game so much but to me the biggest problem right now is the economy, specially the amount of credits we get every week, you just need to do the simple math and you'll see that we have a problem. Every week we get enough to get one spotlight key, and every month we get 4 to 5 keys and every season we get 4 to 5 new cards, not counting with the battle pass card. To guarantee that you get the new card you gotta have 4 keys, so the problem is, if you want one of the new cards you gotta skip an entire month to guarantee that you can get it, yes you can be lucky and get it in the first box but it's random. So if you want to get more than one card you gotta gamble your keys and risk not getting any of the new cards. Since we get less tokens now, you can't buy the new cards with a good frequency and you can't get more than one new card if you didn't save your keys or you are lucky enough to get it early.

@anandmenon16

2 ай бұрын

Agreed. I'm surprised the daily mission refresh doesn't happen sooner to at least reward players who are willing to sink more time into the game and earn those tokens. I like the spotlight cache system as an idea but currently its not really sustainable to just depend on the existing token sources for new cards.

Guys where do we go? Rivals? Make sure if you switch, that you ket us know. Dudes, you’ve been a part of my day for years!

Cozy probably will love this. I’ve been tearing things up with a shuri deck that runs blink and….AERO!!! Aero has actually been incredible to blink out shuri into since players tend to avoid the shuri lane so pulling their 5 play into that huge shuri location is very nice.

Cozy can we get a deck list for Serra Control? Especially on infinity week?

Mailbag Question: Do you think it would be a reasonable buff for War Machine to open up locations so not only can you play cards anywhere but cards can be added anywhere for your side? Like being able to add White Tiger’s Tiger to a Miniaturized Lab in between turns 3-5 or Prof. X location

what do you guys think about archetype defining cards like anihillus, loki, thanos and so on, should they stay at 5 or drop to 4 (or maybe 3)?

The best part about Blink is you feel like you have more control over your deck, one of my absolute favorite play is Playing Shuri then dropping Blink onto Shuri and having an instant lockdown with Pro X

Mailbag: Leech is obviously a frustrating card. How would you both feel if he got reworked to a 1/1 "On reveal: Remove the abilities of the next card your opponent draws"?

What an awesome idea without killing its flavor. Kudos to you man! Leech is a card made for hating it. All card games need these type of cards. But not like this strong.

Since you do the slide in on your videos, you should do it on your snap chat videos, but come in from the other direction for the one going on Cozy's channel.

Master Blaster could be a Grand Master Gambit Deck. Trying to “blast” the opponents cards?

Shuri/Blink is one of my favorite combos right now

Made a Blink Darkhawk deck (also before it was cool, js) with Jubilee instead of Leech and Blink has made it crazy. Jubilee can grab Nocturne or DH or anything and it’s fine. Blink turns her into Doom or Magneto and turn six just becomes so flexible. Nocturne is a GREAT card that i think has gotten overshadowed by Blink just a bit and people are sleeping.

I hope they can be more specific with the series drop dates because I don't have the tokens to be spending on every single card that comes out I have to pick my poison and save. And this happened late last year where I saved to get lady deathstrike and then a couple months later they dropped her to series 4 from series 5....so now I'm going to be saving every ounce of collectors tokens until the series drop cause honestly I don't want to be scammed and cheated like that again. Series drops need to happen more frequent especially with new cards coming out every month it's too much when everything is series 5

I am a fully f2p player, and the cards that I desperately need to play 8/10 meta decks since 2024 are hope summers, nebula, and ms marvel. I feel lucky enough to own quite a lot of series 5 cards that had dominated the meta from launch, like high evo, and red hulk. My greatest criticism of series 5 cards are that if the card is a tech (like the video mentioned!), or is too versatile, it is a bad deicision to put them in series 5, hope summers is seen in just about every "good" meta deck that it is the definition of a versatile card. My mental to play the game was probably lowest when I couldnt play cerebro 3 or lockdown because I didnt own Jeff and everyone else did, this feeling is in summers, corvus, 6/2 alioth, etc. TLDR: Dont leave (too) versatile cards in series 5 for too long, like Cozy and Alex said about Mobius, its not fun for f2p

MAILBAG: Sometimes when I'm watching Cozy's half of the Snap Chat I think of a good mailbag question, and I've been tempted to go post it in the comments there. If I did that, would it get seen and possibly included in the mailbag, or do you only look at comments on Alex's half when assembling the mailbag?

Mailbag: Alex, since you pick these questions, put Cozy on the spot and dare him to do a Arishem deck right now. Let's see what he cooks.

Howard was the other card cozy forgot about that season. Surprised he didn’t release series 6 tbh

I really wanted Nocturne out of the spotlight cache because I love her type of ability, I ended up getting selene and lady deathstrike from the cache...I ended up just spending 6k tokens on Nocturne.

Maybe Im late to the party, but I just noticed NOCTURNE is upside down on the card.

I retreat turn one if its a discard deck. It's just boring to play against. It pretty much plays its self with minimal input from it's opponent unless your deck it designed to combat it specifically or you just get lucky. Then again I retreat before the third flip probably 50% of the time. I don't play bs locations. I retreat 5/10 but hit 4 and 8 cube wins about 3 out of 10. Over half the games I actually finish. If I retreat 5 times in a row, only a few minutes have passed.

@@Exmachina223 I do think they're likely to drop Martyr to series 3, considering Martyr has never had a Spotlight week since her debut in November. Still, though, the point stands that we're definitely not getting good cards, so it's hard to be too excited about only getting bad stuff.

Probably too simplistic, but I'd be on board with series drops happening merely by time. Perhaps drop from 5 to 4 after 6 months, and 4 to 3 after 12. (Perhaps rounding a hair to whenever a patch happens). Arguments could be made for drops happening after a bit longer like 9 and 18 months, respectively, if drops are happening too often.
