Marvel Snap's September 28 OTA Update Brings 6 Card Changes

I completely agree! When you look at it objectively, every iteration of their economic system has been a notable improvement on their preceding model, and I think most of the complaints come from players who don't understand the underlying philosophy …

Our Thoughts on MARVEL SNAP's July 20 OTA Balance Update - Bounce Nerfs, Buffs, & More!

Sera in Surfer decks has been on the decline for a few weeks, in favour of more pro-active cards like [snapcard]Spider-Man[/snapcard]. Hit Monkey would be at best a 3/8 in the shell you propose; while the new versions of [snapcard]Nakia[/snapcard], …

Our Thoughts on MARVEL SNAP's June 8 OTA Balance Update - Nerfs & Buffs

I expected that [snapcard]Galactus[/snapcard] would continue to use [snapcard]Spider-Man[/snapcard], since the change has no impact to their common pattern of [snapcard]Wave[/snapcard] on 3, Galactus on 4 and Spider-Man on 5, but none of the 8 or so Galactus decks I …

MARVEL SNAP's High Evolutionary Will Be Delayed

Given all the conversations that have been going on since he was datamined, I predict The High Evolutionary will be the most popular day 1 purchase since the Token Shop has been implemented. He opens up at least 2 archetypes, …

MARVEL SNAP's Choose Your Card Shop is Making Things Worse

I seem to be in the minority, but I really enjoy their card release system -- the most fun I had was finishing Series 2 and early Series 3, where I would take my far-from-optimal deck and faced similarly janky …

Second Dinner Changes MARVEL SNAP's Featured Locations, Starting This Week with Nidavellir - Everyone, Get in Here!

In all other card games, the test of your skill is dealing with the variance of your deck, and how it matches up with what your opponent is doing. That's not the case with Snap, since you'll see 75% of …

Marvel Snap’s Next Season Is Days of Future Past - New Cards, Locations, Variants, and More

I believe Iron Maiden is referencing two things with the title of this tour:

1) "Days of Future Passed" is an influential album by the Moody Blues that came out in the late '60s. It was one of the …

MARVEL SNAP's Featured Location This Week is Camp Lehigh - Sound Off!

It took me a minute to figure out why Camp Lehigh gives you a 3 drop: it's because [snapcard]Captain America[/snapcard] is one. :)

Breaking Down MARVEL SNAP's New Card Shadow King - Theorycraft Decks, Top Five Synergies, & Lore!

The Shadow King also had a prominent role outside of comics fairly recently, because he was the main villain in the "Legion" TV series that ran a few years back. He was brilliantly played by Audrey Plaza in the first …

Hearthstone Esports to Return to Twitch This Year, Will Viewership Improve? Prizing Decreased

I hope that the "suit" responsible for accepting the Google/Yahoo deal was laid off -- they clearly didn't understand how eSports culture works, and just opted for the short-term gains to the detriment of the long-term health of Blizzard's properties.

[Updated] Special Rattlegore Event Returns to Hearthstone Mercenaries for a Month - All Tasks, Bounties, and Coins

I was heavily invested in Mercenaries since the launch -- I did my daily missions every day, all the special events, and I carefully collected all the mercs. I loved that it was nice time-filler game with no PVP pressure; …

Who Are Galactus and the Silver Surfer? Taking a Look at the Devourer of Worlds and His First Herald - Beyond the Snap

Galactus is easily my favourite antagonist in the Marvel universe. He knows what he's doing is wrong, but he can't stop because that's the only way for him to survive. The first story I read about him was in the …

MARVEL SNAP's Featured Location This Week is Klyntar - Feed the Darkness!

Actually, I haven't seen any Killmongers after playing for about 90 minutes. I saw 2-3 Shang-Chis, though, as well as 2 Elektras, which I thought was a genius idea.

Overall, people don't seem to play different decks to use …

Battle of Tol Barad

Aggressive pirate rogue is working pretty well for me. People don't tech against weapons and play very few taunts.

Hearthstone Mercenaries Head to Darkmoon Faire in Patch 24.4 - 14 New Characters and 19 Bounties, Plus Charge Keyword
Quote From Auspicious

I commented on this elsewhere, but it looks like Medivh's Unstable Rune can cancel your own team's effects -- which would be the only way it isn't completely and utterly busted.

That's …

Final Four New Characters Revealed by the Hearthstone Mercenaries Discord

I really like that the designers have increased the complexity of the mercenaries, with creative interactions with the bench that work in PvE and in PvP.

I do wish the game mode was solely focused on PvE -- we …
