    Yeah like, there are only a few ways for me to actually deal with Shuri and I don't necessarily run them in every deck. I don't run them in most decks. Because when I do there's the inevitable Cosmo/Armor protection and half the time I've thrown out a Cosmo to protect my own cards.

    Shuri is highly frustrating to play against still, though she is far less ubiquitous now that she isn't a simple auto-win.

    Drop list from Reddit. I added some estimated block release dates assuming everything follows suit.

    c8gm4u8iygio.png

    5 months from Series 5 to Series 3 is ridiculously long. Even 4 months is too long.

    Jeff's breakdown of the new economy said is comes down to:

    - Your first S5 card each month is free if you spend all your tokens accumulated from the month.
    - The second card is $10 (from the pass)
    - The 3rd card is $50 from gold bundles
    - The 4th card is $200 from cash to gold to tokens/credits

    This implies if you want every card as they release. Jesus....

    The amount of people who just leave when I play Shuri lmao

    Because its basically unbeatable unless I have specific cards to counter and even then they usually have armor and cosmo out already so its actually unbeatable. I really don't like Shuri

    Oh I know. I was the same. It just feels weird to get vindicated when you finally get that one really dumb card and see the wins flooding in from doing nothing. It's to the point where if I actually wanna see the game to the end I have to hide her behind Invisible Woman

    Well, I have a conundrum. I was planning/hoping to wait for Taskmaster to pop up in my free pool 3 cards this season since it would let me run the shuri + she hulk + task deck. However I was offered Dracula today which would be a huge boost to my MODOK deck that I’m currently laddering with. Given the huge amount of cards in pool three and the very few I currently have, I wonder if grabbing Dracula now isn’t the better choice and looking for taskmaster next season.

    I actually think this is super cheap for a gacha mobile game. It's also not necessary to have every card as it releases? I think this is the only month where I've actually wanted EVERY card? Like the cost to get every Magic card is pretty fuckin abysmal.

    Like 50% of all releases for $10 a month is pretty solid but maybe I'm crazy.

    I feel like Magic has to be just one of the worst things to be comparing to for consumer friendly monetization model - not that I've touched in decades?

    Hearthstone feels like it should be the easy comparison - both because of Brode and the game space they are in. No idea which is worse at this point

    The price to get 2 of 4 new cards a month isn't terrible - although they are picking one of the two for you - but also assumes you have every card up to that point

    I currently have valkyrie pinned - but their system punishes me for buying her now knowing the price will go down and how expensive more on demand tokens are.

    It's just what I picked because it's the game I'm most familiar with right now.

    Also, you're better off getting her now if you're not pool 3 complete because you can't get her with tokens later.

    But also isn't that a good thing? Everything is free eventually!

    i feel like i beat shuri a lot now and I win less with shuri, which I know is not real data/information and I'm just cycling through like 8 decks whenever i go on a bad run with one but like, there's a difference between a thing being good and a thing being "why am i even bothering to play"

    I'm already pool 3 complete - so I next month my only options for pool 3 cards to grab are either super skrull or valk

    Everything being free eventually so long as you play the game regularly in perpetuity; I would much rather play this game for a few months and then be completely done with it and hopefully playing something else that I can pick up and play in small doses - do not need more forever games

    Yeah, that's on me. Kang is S5 4-life.

    Looking over that list, I'll get Shuri/Super Skrull next month. One for free, the other from a Cache. Although I'll probably get one of them from a Cache now via my 40 Cache pity timer, so the other will be free next month.

    And honestly, at this point, I'd be shocked if Shuri doesn't get hit again. I know it's only been a few days, but Shuri doesn't seem unphased by the nerfs. Thanos is definitely still strong, but not OP like it once was. Basically, he's a lot more fair now. But Shuri...yeesh!

    No other way around the fact that doubling a doubling is four cards for the price of three.

    I just climbed hard with Ramp, going from 65.0-69.4 before losing back-to-back 4 cube games putting me at 68.6.

    It was something crazy like 10-12 wins in a row before the two losses.

    The devs stated that they made the chances they made to Thanos and Shuri because it was much easier to OTA Shuri changes on the fly because it's just numbers. Glenn Jones even said they considered shipping Red Skull with less power but it's not hard for them to fix it in flight so they wanted to leave it this way.

    I do also think with less Thanos Shuri is a lot more vulnerable. Control lists that use Storm and Daredevil are strong into Shuri lists. The Taskmaster change also means Shuri is more vulnerable to an Aero on 5 into a Shang-Shi. I think Red Skull could easily be a 5/12 or 11 and I'd be surprised if they don't make that change in the next week or so.

    This is almost certainly not going to happen. You'd have to give her quite a bit of stats back for that.

    Enchantress and Killmonger are your friends vs Patriot. Make sure to give up priority on T5 and then hit their Patriot lane with Enchantress or Killmonger if you think they're going Ultron. Bonus points if you play Sera and play both Enchantress and Killmonger.

    If they don't like the Shuri Supremacy, they shouldn't give everyone the "Win a location with 20 or more power" as a season mission. Gotta do that 20 times (plus I also have a daily to do it 4 more times), so uh... I guess I'm playing Shuri this weekend.

    I don't even want to, but that's going to be the fastest way to get it done win or lose.

About a month ago, he put out this video about how and why he's never hit Infinite as he plays different decks nearly every day for fun and content, and the extreme focus on it can hurt enjoyment of the game and the community:
