All helpful, thanks. Just watched that video @VashTheStampede. Very useful. Seems like at pool one and two I'd gain an advantage just by watching a few videos on this stuff. Assuming I'm playing anything more than casually. And honestly, while I might not be super competitive, I'm not sure I've played a game completely casually in my life, so I'll want to know some stuff.

This game is super easy to play casually. Matches literally take less than 5 minutes

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Yeah I've seen. I've only watched two videos and I'm learning. Some really good, easy tips that make sense even though I've played literally two games.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I consider myself completely casual and I still try to win most of the time.

That's the good thing about these sorts of games. You don't need to play the meta to get quite high up. And if you ever feel like just getting high up, you'll have the good cards at some point (since good cards still go into fun decks), you can just change it up.

The early journey is just about getting the cards though.

Have you played trading card type games before @Crazy Jamie? The same concepts of how to win that apply in all of them apply here too.

Also, VERY important that I've just remembered. You will play bots. When you lose some amount in a row or a game takes too long to find, they'll put you up against a bot. You can definitely win mostly against bots and also get paid out cubes for it. Maybe there's a guide out there for it but I think you'll have no issue working it out so long as you're aware of it.

I haven't actually. Even the real life Pokemon, Magic etc games have just passed me by. Looking forward to this, and hopefully because there's no alliance element there'll be no pressure to play a particular amount.

Just a newbie question, but the videos I'm seeing mention pool one and two. What pool does the game go up to? Is there a top pool level where you're just vying for new cards?

 

[Benzine]

Series/Pool 5, but it's actually labeled in a way that makes no sense, I wouldn't even think about it.

Pool 1 and 2 are beginner cards you are gonna just get given as you get through the first 486 levels.

Series/Pool 3 cards are available from a new type of chest after you reach that level. As you increase in levels, the chances of getting more Pool/Series 3 cards decreases.

Series 4 and 5 cards can only been gotten by mechanics you don't see yet. You can get them from a selection of 4 chests offered each week, and you can find the schedule here (super duper important later on). You can also buy them using "tokens", another in game currency, used to lessen the blow of getting repeat cards/enable repeat cards to be given in the fucken first place...

ALL cards can be purchased via the bundles I mentioned too. If you buy a variant (other art style) of a card you don't have from a bundle, you are able to use that card. Any card could be in a bundle, but they definitely are stingy about putting series cards in a bundle - they of course have their strategies for keeping the gam engaging by making you spend your in game currency, and this is the main one.

New cards are almost always quite impactful, cause they want people to play them, and pay to play them. You can usually counter them if you don't buy them. You can always win.

Learn to retreat is the number 1 advice to get better at this game, no question.

Learn to snap is the second.

Learn to play Marvel Snap is the third haha.

I didn’t watch any videos or ever play this type of game before I jumped in. The “pools” don’t really matter too much. Pool 1and 2 are just the most basic cards you and everyone else will have. Once you reach a specific collection level (from ranking up cards), you get access to newer cards “pool/series 3”. New cards are released as series 4/5 and a lot eventually drop. Each season you can get 1 free series 3 card, so you can wait for the one you want (it changes every 8 hours)

 

[shortkut]

I’m of the camp that says collect cool cards and leave it at that. That being said, I really want to get this one but I don’t use goose enough to justify it

@Crazy Jamie

this is something that seems so obvious yo more experienced players, but I think beginners might not be aware of, especially if you've never played card style games before. Vash told me this pretty early, but I even told him "I wish you had told me sooner" so I'll tell you now.

build decks with themes, not just the cards you like. this is less of an issue early on, but as you progress you'll see a lot of synergies that work best in one kind of deck.

for example, the two earliest types of decks you can build are Ongoing and On Reveal, both can be filtered in the collection and you can build decks around those.

on reveal was my workhorse through the early days before I got better cards. an easy combo you'll get soon if you haven't already is White Tiger followed by Odin.

as you get more cards you'll get more complex synergies, and you'll unlock whole new deck archetypes.

but starting with something simple like on reveal will help you start to grasp deck building and what to look for, as well as maximize the early cards that you have.

if you ever want help building a deck, just show us a deck you like and we can offer suggestions

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Alright guys, I've been playing a bit over 24 hours and I have some questions. I'm up to collection level 75 and I'm on rank 33 on the season. Thankfully after watching some YouTube videos I have building decks around themes, with my two main ones now being an Ongoing deck with Devil Dinosaur, Moon Girl, Spectrum and a range on Ongoing cards plus Sentinel to keep cards in my hand, and an On Reveal deck with White Tiger and Odin, then Medusa, Ironheart and a few others. Might post my decks later but I'm getting some decent success out of them so far.

1) Should I just be aiming to upgrade as many cards as possible to keep my collection level increasing and keep getting new cards? Is there a point where I should stop or change approach on that?
2) I've not even considered spending gold yet. When does that become relevant?
3) Do I need to look at the other game modes yet? Enjoying the main one enough really.
4) How long do I have to get as close to 100 rank on the season? Does that change when I get into the second pool?

Any other general tips for the direction I should be going in early on would be useful. This game is fun.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Also, I very much appreciate the need to learn when to retreat, and that retreating at the right time is far less damaging than pushing on and losing. Winning a round where both players have snapped is very satisfying. Lost a couple of those so far, but won about six or seven.

 

[Benzine]

1) Yes, pretty much. You are months off where I am and I'm still opening chests. I imagine the point where you mightn't just open every chest you get is around CL4..5-5k.
2) That's what I refer to in my big response to you. Check this page, you can use filters to look for the best value packages and make sure they're just gold. https://marvelsnapzone.com/bundles/. It is relevant whenever you have gold and get a worthwhile offering. Otherwise you can spend them on the variants in the shop that get offered, but I would probably lean towards the packages to start with.
3) Conquest mode has rewards that are ANOTHER currency. You can use that currency to buy some small scale rewards - but there is gold and credits available, so probably worth to do some.
4) Each season your rank will reset, dropping by 30. It's based on the seasons - there's about 3 weeks in the current season. When you get into the 2nd pool the only thing that will change is that you start facing people in pool 2.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Great, thanks @Benzine. I've looked at that website and seems pretty easy to follow in terms of what's available. Or what's worth spending money on, but I don't intend to do that. Is there any real use of credits other than upgrading cards and opening chests?

EDIT: Also, any way to track your stats with this game?

 

[Benzine]

Not really until you get to about level 1000. Just have fun and learn the cards and locations.

Credits pushes you up the CL chain, which gets you chests, which gets you cards (and other things but cards are most important). It's what progresses your collection in the game.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Alright, I’m just going to throw questions out. Expect many of these. Nice to be the one asking them rather than giving all the answers, like I used to in Contest of Champions.

I’m figuring out how to get the most out of Devil Dinosaur. My current deck with him has Spectrum and focuses on Ongoing, with the likes of Sentinel and Moon Girl to keep the cards in my hand to a decent number. But is there an argument for DD being better with Odin in an On Reveal deck? Because if, for example, you had Medusa, Ironheart and Moongirl in the middle lane, then DD on one of the outside lanes and put Odin in the middle, that would give a massive last round boost to both DD (with Moongirl reactivating) and others. Is he used in that way? I’m enjoying the White Tiger/Odin combo but can see DD working there too. White Tiger gets you 18 power after reactivation. With a 7 card hand DD gets to 19, and you can actually decide where to put him, which you can’t with the 8 power tigers. Also may be less predictable than White Tiger/Odin combination.

1. Yes. Increasing your collection level is how you get more cards for better decks
2. You could never spend gold and it wouldn’t significantly impact your ability to play. I only use it to obtain new variants
3. Conquest is the only other game mode. It takes more time because you have to beat an opponent multiple times. It isn’t necessary but can be good for trying out new decks as losses don’t negatively impact you in terms of the season rank or anything
4. You have until the season resets, then you drop 30 ranks to start next season. I’ve never reached rank 100

There are many combos you can make. That Odin/moon girl one seems good. There will be other cards in the future that add cards to your hand. That would pair nicely with the collector, who gains power for each card that enters your hand from anywhere other than your deck. The copies moon girl generates to not count as coming from your deck. There is also a kitty pryde card that returns to your hand each turn, which also doesn’t count as starting from your deck, since it enters your hand from the field of play.

Been trying to rock a C8 deck with the white tiger buff.

It's........ interesting

But absolutely no one is expecting c8 so it's got that advantage.

 

[Benzine]

Shang-Chi: Hold my beer.

 

[Benzine]

So you're playing White Tiger/Odin but just with Cererbro and Mystique I take it?

I fucking love Mister Negative. and I love even more getting the nearly god roll.

Elysium always fun, Sakaar put Negative on turn 2, the rest just fell into place from there but I know he never saw it coming.

 

[VashTheStampede]

One of the only times I've been able to just outdo a ShuriSauron deck through brute force.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I realise this is basic stuff for everyone else in this thread, but I've reached the point now where I'm high enough in pool one that I have all the cards I need to make a handful of good decks. Starting to understand the basic mechanics a lot more now which in turn makes me better at deciding when to retreat and when to snap.

I've just started a pool one Kazoo deck (pulled Onslaught this morning; made an Ongoing deck with him too but haven't used it yet) and it's a lot more effective than I expected it to be looking at the cards from my inexperienced eye. It's flexible but really intuitive to play. I've played a bit with a Discard deck and it's loads of fun, even if I'm retreating a bit more when the draw doesn't go my way and Apocalypse doesn't come out. I had mostly played an On Reveal deck with White Tiger and Odin up to now, but I'm having more fun with those other two decks at the moment, and Kazoo seems to be particularly effective even though I've played less than ten games with it. I'm up to rank 47 on the season and am going to see how high I can go before I hit pool two.

 

[Cole]

Kazoo is effective at a surprising amount of levels if you're not prepared for it. I know Vash even runs Kazoo sometimes.

the game takes a different level when you start running into more anti-cards, for Kazoo you need to watch out for Kilmonger for example who kills all cost 1 cards that are out.

I'm glad you're enjoying it

 

[Crazy Jamie]

Not going to lie; day two I wanted to play a couple of games before bed, and played for about two hours. Nearly uninstalled it because we can’t be having that. But I’ve quickly moderated the amount I’m playing it. I’ve realised that there’s plenty of time to do the daily and season missions, and and climb the season rankings. Playing more just means I’m earning boosters that I don’t have the credits to use. There’s no advantage to it, which is nice, because as much as I’m enjoying it I can’t afford to be fully sucked into a game again.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah, that's one thing I really like about the game: I don't feel like I have to be constantly grinding to advance. Can just pick it up and put it down at my leisure.

I usually play a match, then do something else, then play a match after that. It fills gaps in my day, and doesn't take over the day.

If I wanna play a bigger chunk than usual or I need to clear some missions to make room for new ones, I'll play one Conquest battle, which usually ends up with me clearing 3-4 missions.
