Snagged Aero out of a collector's cache. Have to think about a deck that might involve her, I feel like I hear her name a lot.
Literally any deck she's so insanely good in a very generic way. I mean if you have a Wave deck more power to you but literally jam her in anything that doesn't have negative synergy (even then).
Would you like to basically win the game if you're ahead on board? Just play Aero on 6 and make them pull their turn 6 play into the lane you're already losing. Now they're fucked!
Pesky Wong about to drop an Odin for a cat-gasm? Not anymore he's not!
Is there a Fisk Tower on board? Congratulations you win the game.
What about ANY OTHER LOCATION that gives a shit about who/when you play to it? Atlantis, Bar Sinister, Sinister London, Mojoworld, Kamar-Taj, the list goes on and on. You just WRECKED them.
If you know your opponent wants to play a turn 5 or 6 Iron Man, Professor X, Zola, Onslaught, Magneto, Galactus, etc, they're in shambles.
It will basically never be WRONG to play Aero. It might not be the most optimal, but it's not going to be bad.
I slotted in Mystique into my Zoo deck, hoping to copy Ka-Zar or Blue Marvel with her into hand vomit on the last turn. Did pretty well, getting some cubes.
Then I remembered the new location and hit a bunch of Killmongers. Right...I'll come back to this deck another day.

Two games I have only been able to destroy one card, leaving my Death totally unplayable. Two times I have won because Aero is absurd.
Also I wish I had saved the before picture of this.
He snaps on 6, his board is Nightcrawler x2, Ant-Man x2, a Symbiote, Sunspot, and Bishop. I have Killmonger and Death in hand. I have never countersnapped so hard, which in retrospect was dumb as fuck because he should have immediately realized "this Deathwave deck has Killmonger in hand" and left. But he didn't and he paid for it.
I’ve only gotten the aero treatment a few times but it’s definitely a card that makes you shout “you motherfucker” at your phone
Aero is one of those cards where sometimes you literally cannot win if they have it and you gotta consider that on turn 6. It's very similar to leader in that regards and it has some of that MTG "well let's see if they actually have the counterspell in hand or are just bluffing."
Both Aero and Magneto feel very much like 'you don't get to play the game this time'.
And then we all play Cosmo.
It is very satisfying to Zola out from underneath an Aero though.
You thought I was going play to a contested lane?
You fool!
You fell for one of the classic gambits.
But yeah.
Could go for like a 3 cost 'Your cards here can't be moved' Ongoing card.
(Also annoyed with the bug where Aero breaks 'on play' card/location triggers entirely, as in, unflipped cards that are moved don't get 'played' anywhere)
Had a game earlier where I was sure they were setting up Ultron. They went Patriot-Mystique and had 1 spot left. But I had priority, so I went with Cosmo.
But no, it was Onslaught. The power difference at that location was enough.

I think Aero is fine. There are lots of cards that can be "gg you're fucked" like Leader, and I've seen situations where Aero can move this all you want, you're still going to lose. That's the good thing about this game, you can determine your own risk tolerance and bail.
That's also kind of the silver lining to the collection system. Not every deck is cookie cutter. Maybe they literally don't own Aero or whatever.
..
Perfectly counter a destroy deck, with armour in left, and Cosmo in centre.
Guy pulls out magneto on right to tie the game.
Just, sure.
No answers for that.
...
Checked the screenshot, Magneto was at 17 power due to Atlantis so I guess it wasn't just that they had a random Magneto.
If it had been 12-19 there, they would have lost.
So just one bad game I guess.
Still has me reaching for a move deck.
Spiderman pointing all around as we both raged, anyway.

Dude turn 1 snaps. I play Yondu turn 1, take a Doom off the top. He plays Squirrel Girl. Okay, this must be Patriot and he must have super combo in the hand. He spends the next few turns playing out Patriot, Mystique, Brood, I have Carnage eat Yondu and a ninja, then I do nothing for 3 and 4.
Turn 5 I play out Wave and She-Hulk. Turn 6, Death and Aero, pulling his Onslaught away.
So confident, so utterly ruined. I should have snapped back but I was afraid he'd know the jig is up.

I try not to be too salty at people over this, but fuck this guy who has Galactus and Knull and all of his extreme luck (or more likely) ridiculous piles of money.

@MNC Dover Figured this was super relevant timing for you:
Not having a particularly successful season thus far.
Feel like I have a lot of cards for different archetypes of deck but not the cards to build out one deck really well and I’m paying the price for that.
Rationally I’m probably just not playing to my best. Will just try to get a bit better each day. Can’t say any of the rewards on the high rank side are particularly attractive to me? Though obviously the 500 gold would be really nice.
Anyhoo mystery variant from the Season Pass:
Super happy with that. Almost bought it for gold a week or so back but was wanting to save for future bundles (might get the data mined dr.doom/invisible woman bundle for 5000 gold)
I'd love the ability to make custom rulesets, I wanna see how a game plays out with unlimited energy, bigger hand sizes, more playing field spaces, etc

More locations is an interesting concept. Assuming they go to 5, do you make the decks bigger and add on another turn or two? I considered maybe you could reduce the number of cards that can exist as a location but I think that would lead to a lot of "well I won this location with a 2 cost card because they didn't play anything else here." Also cards like Doom, Zola, Omega Red, or even Squirrel Girl become insane value and hate cards, especially ongoing ones, like Armor or Cosmo become significantly worse. Decks that stack super tall on two locations like Spectrum Destroyer are probably right out, it's hard to see how that decklist could reliably fight for a third lane.

I really enjoy the hela deck but it's hardly effective and oof some of the really good cards I'm still missing get used against me and it hurts

On the same location as my Ongoing stack.
So I snap and T5 Prof X.
Guy passes T6 to me for 4 cubes instead of 2.
Thanks Guy!
Here's a closer look at the sick variant
Got to keep being equal measures good at snapping, and bad at snapping and math and therefore inscrutable.
You see the trick of this deck is that the numbers, they are bigger.
No Aero
No Wave
No Sera
No Dracula
No Hela
No Lockjaw
No Dagger
No Deadpool
No Thor
No Zero
I feel like the odds of not getting at least one of the above yet is insanely low.

On the other end of the spectrum I had the most obnoxious loss to a leader play last night that made me close the game entirely
I just saw this on my sub page. Will definitely give it a look see when I get home today.
