Just Hit Pool 2

Fairly exciting Ebony Maw was my first grab 1 mana 7 power.

Very strong for Dino decks you force extra resources out of your opponent while if you draw him late game he just makes your t Rex bigger.

Pool 2 is very important for movement archetypes, destruction archetypes, and discard.

While Pool 1 you're kinda forced into Swarm, Dino, or Odin.

So yeah looking forward to Marvel Snap getting a little more diverse and complicated as my collection expands.

Saying that Ebony Maw makes DD bigger is not exactly correct. Any card you'd draw instead would do the same thing, except you'd have the option of playing it if DD isn't the right play.

E. Maw is not a very good Card. He's barely better than M'Baku

But glad you're having fun.

It's very easy to win games when you're still mostly just facing pool 1. New players, simple mechanics.

You'll discover that both cards and decisions matter a whole lot more as your collection level progresses. It becomes much less "just poker" and much more about properly predicting what your opponent is going to do.

And if you want 8 cubes, basically ever, you have to be able to surprise your opponent in some fashion. Otherwise, they will retreat.

Isn't poker about predicting what your opponents will do

Sure, and you can even win Texas Hold'em with a terribad hand, since you never have to show your cards if your opponents all fold.

But in Snap, the only way you get 8 cubes, or even 4 cubes, is by BOTH properly predicting your opponent's move AND also actually winning.

Because if they fold, you only get 1 cube, which definitely doesn't count as "winning" - unlike how it would be in poker.

I don't know. A lot of players will retreat even on an early Snap. There's never a way to guarantee 8 cubes. Right now, I have maybe 4 pool 3 cards. If I'm playing against someone who obviously has better options, I'm outta there If I see a snap.
