Why didn't they play Skull to Muir and Tasky to Strange Academy on 6? There's basically no planet in which a Shuri deck is winning Mojoworld (I guess maybe if you Bar Sinister a Shuri you could get there).
Also: I am an American, goddammit. I demand my shop schedule conform to MY useless need to change my clocks twice a year. Me angy I have to wait an extra hour every night to be disappointed.

First time hitting Infinite!!!! Feels appropriate that Thanos is on that screen because his overpowered ass carried me on his back. Literally, from 50-100. I'm assuming I wont hit Infinite again until something else completely breaks the meta, like Lockjaw/Thanos. Makes the 6k tokens worth it, even if he gets nerfed. Feels like the Stafford trade a few years back. Dude took me to the superbowl, it was worth the resources spent even if he ends up being worthless in the near future.
Worst experience during the grind was being 2 away from Infinite, facing a Galactus player, there are two cubes on the line. I drop Leech on turn 5, knowing they were going to Galactus mid, where I had a reality stone, and they did what I thought. They have priority, so they can't ShangChi my big dude, I sadly don't have ShangChi so I also can't destroy a big drop. But at best its going to be one big, leeched, 6 drop or a bunch of smaller dudes. My Dino + Soul Stone should beat out a big leeched 6 drop or any number of smaller stuff. They aren't retreating, but surely I have this, right? NOPE. They drop a Knull, that they topdecked, so it wasn't leeched. I was so pissed!
Absolute best part of hitting infinite is that I can now just screw around and play fun stuff. With like 3 weeks left in the season. Hell yeah, this will be a much more fun month of Snap than normal.

Next series drop coming up with the upcoming patch.
S4->S3: Orka, Attuma, and M'Baku
S5->S4: Zabu, Sauron, Shadow King, Shanna, and Dazzler
Yeah, not a lot of winners here, especially dropping to S3.
Patch is supposed to be coming sometime next week and has been confirmed to have balance changes along with changes to the Token Shop and Token Acquisition. At 1.9k tokens short of getting Thanos, looks like I'll miss the broken window to get a free run to Infinite.

I can't wait for "improvements to token acquisition" to just be a button added to the shop letting you convert gold into tokens
"We have removed a decimal point from all collector's token values to make it faster and easier to read thereby improving the experience. You're welcome."

Galaxy brain play alert:
Opponent plays turn 2 Psylocke into Luke's Bar. I play Zabu somewhere else.
Opponent plays turn 3 Wave into Luke's Bar, then snaps. Okay GALACTUS PLAYER, I see you. I snap back.
Aero to Luke's Bar, dragging Galactus and bouncing my Aero, but his Galactus stays.
He emotes "I'm losing!"
I play Sentinel. He retreats.

Gah too many wins recently with Valkyrie made me overconfident. Had a clear win if I hit their 12 power Captain Marvel they were banking on, not to mention they had initiative, so I'd hit their turn 6 flop as well (only one open location).
Oh.
Cosmo.
Right.
Whoops. Bye 8 cubes.
Doesn't super need Ghost, but makes rainbowing people a little easier. A decent replacement would be Luke Cage, as he prevents your own cards from getting Valk'd. So you can Valk in the Attuma/Armor lane for extra lulz.
Fun note: If Colossus has been buffed by something like a location, Valkyrie will not set him back down to 3.
well at least I already have one of the cards going into series 3 so that's not gonna inflate my numbers too much. I'm down to 20 series 3 cards left currently so I'm chuggin away at them at least.
As someone who can only get in ~10 games on weekdays, maybe more depending on what is going on, I am really liking the +5 rank bump when reaching each rank. Just got to 40/45, but I was stuck at 36 for a day as I would seem to win 1,2,4 cubes and then proceed to lose or retreat for a couple of games after.

Oh my God this was the most satisfying thing in the world
He snapped first. He had hazmat down. He played wong later, and on t5 it was Msytique copying wong and luke cage in another lane.
I stared at the screen for about .01 seconds and snapped back, because I read him like a fucking book.
(and because that book was apparently harry potter, he gets the ms marvel)

Play Quake to Mid, Opponent plays Aero to Left.
Aero doesn't pull Quake because Quake was played at the same location.
That’s
An interesting interaction?
.....
Normally the Quake rules are she is played at the location that moves to her.
But the location that moved under Aero was Quake's previous location so
I have no idea what happened.

Maybe Quake just breaks her on play trigger.
A bunch of stuff like Rescue's effect rides with the location if you've happened to throw Quake down. There are a lot of strange - and hard to capitalize on - interactions there.
Had my first time where my "drop Luke Cage in Dark Dimension for post game reveal" saved me, not from my own Valkyrie, but from my opponents. 'Aw shucks, you turned my Demon/Antman/Typhoid lane weaker so that your double Antman could win on turn six. Guess I'll just drop a second Antman here for no reason...."
I probably should have snapped back for 8 instead of 4, but I find I get punished when that happens. Still felt like a great "this was my plan all along" style victory.

My advice on snapping back (and I am bad about this) is to wait until near the end of the turn to do it.
Because I have made many changes to what I'm gonna do because my opponent insta-snapped. Oh, I guess you drew Galactus/Luke Cage/Shuri/Etc. I feel strongly that if the opponent snaps you should be able to change your moves, but until they implement it its best to not immediately tip your hand and force them to to war with the soldiers they have.

So i started renaming decks today, after i got sick of them being "Destroy" "Ongoing" "Discard" etc.
I for some reason started using a music theme for a lot of them...
Move It Move It
Wong Way
Bleed American (Patriot)
My dumb MODOK/Hela deck though I am most proud of.
It's...
MODOK in a Box.
Some of my deck names:
Steal Mo Shit
Die Die no die
On the Warpath (I think everyone with a warpath deck names it this)
Pop goes the Weasel
Hoser
Surfs Up
Enter Sandman
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
Last pull Baron Mordo, today's pull Ronan the Accuser. I think I've cleared the deck of cards I really DON'T want in the rest of Pool 3. Actually, once Orka goes in, that won't be true again.
I'm super torn guys. I'll have enough to get one of this season's cards and still Jeff when he releases. I just dunno which one I want.
I think I'll skip Negasonic for sure (although I can't wait to play my Electro into her). So it's do I want Kitty and do Sera Miracle for real (which might not really go off til Hit Monkey), or do I get Master Mold and shove him directly into my Darkhawk deck right the heck now?
I saved a bunch of caches for today, figuring I was close to another "natural" series 5 and would have loved to get Master Mold for "free." I was right and pulled... Stature. Sigh.

There's no pity timer on S5s so you aren't guaranteed a S5 out of reserves at any point. Getting any of them is pretty great!
My hype order for this month is the reverse order they come out in. I have a ton of stockpiled tokens so I might get all 3, and then maybe have enough for Jeff.
-Beast
-Drax
-Mystique (though i bought the pack earlier, so i have access now at least)
and soon
-M'Baku
-Orka
So I'm officially in save for Series 5 mode on Tokens now. Only going to Pin or Buy Galactus/Thanos/Kang though since all the rest will eventually reduce cost.

First time hitting Infinite!!!! Feels appropriate that Thanos is on that screen because his overpowered ass carried me on his back. Literally, from 50-100. I'm assuming I wont hit Infinite again until something else completely breaks the meta, like Lockjaw/Thanos. Makes the 6k tokens worth it, even if he gets nerfed. Feels like the Stafford trade a few years back. Dude took me to the superbowl, it was worth the resources spent even if he ends up being worthless in the near future.
Worst experience during the grind was being 2 away from Infinite, facing a Galactus player, there are two cubes on the line. I drop Leech on turn 5, knowing they were going to Galactus mid, where I had a reality stone, and they did what I thought. They have priority, so they can't ShangChi my big dude, I sadly don't have ShangChi so I also can't destroy a big drop. But at best its going to be one big, leeched, 6 drop or a bunch of smaller dudes. My Dino + Soul Stone should beat out a big leeched 6 drop or any number of smaller stuff. They aren't retreating, but surely I have this, right? NOPE. They drop a Knull, that they topdecked, so it wasn't leeched. I was so pissed!

2: Oscorp Tower
3: Project Pegasus
My hand: Yondu, Death, Knull, Doc Ock (and Wave but who cares)
I Yondu in Bar Sinister (lol): Psylock, Zola, Carnage, Shuri
When Pegasus reveals, I Doc Ock in Oscorp Tower. Pulls Destroyer, Forge, Nimrod, Black Panther.
Cards switch sides. They have no hand, no deck, and no board.
I get 2 whole cubes but my amusement was priceless.
