@VashTheStampede @shortkut I started playing last Thursday and am going to get to infinite before you. That is my goal.

Go for it. I’m very casually playing, so I play as little as 1 match some days

Yeah my biggest advice to noobs is go for infinite ASAP because the higher your pool, the harder it gets.

I GREATLY regret not pushing for it when I was new.

 

[Benzine]

The players I’m against now have all the cards it seems.

I’m not bothering about the retreating business yet, obviously it’s what separates the good climbers from the bad. But I need to experience the end turns a tonne to get better at snapping or retreating.

My cards are still pretty boring. Give me those cool death cards.

 

[VashTheStampede]

97...

 

[Benzine]

Good luck champ

 

[Benzine]

Back in the day when I'd have a bit of trouble getting into legend in Hearthstone, I'd just make rules that I'd stop after an individual loss. I think that used to be a great help.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Halfway through 98. Too nervous, need to take a break.

Secret Invasion deck doing WORK

 

[Benzine]

Good on ya mate. Can I see the deck? I've not invested any time into researching decks or anything yet. I love deck building in HS, so I tend not to net deck (but it becomes pretty obvious pretty quick what the meta is when it's going on). I want to know what to get excited for.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Honestly Super Skrull is just in there for flavor and because I love the card. Comes in handy about once in 12 matches.

My main deck is hyper reliant on ongoing cards so super skull has fuuuuuuuucked me many a time

 

[VashTheStampede]

Have you ever heard the story of Icarus?

Not Ikaris, the original one...

 

[VashTheStampede]

Game tied after last turn...until M'Baku strikes!

I love that cerebro variant. I almost bought it but didn’t have enough gold and I don’t run cerebro anyway

 

[canadaguy]

Fuck yeah 7 power M'Baku!!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Pretty good for a vegetarian.

 

[canadaguy]

I've never used him, but I feel like I would always forget he's waiting to pounce.


Or I'd always draw him turn 6.

Yeah, thats exactly what happens.

Part of the fun of this Cerebro-2 is Lockjaw. M'Baku helps you recycle annoying fuckers like Scorpion and Iceman, helps you dig for Cerebro, and then there's a higher chance of him being doubly useful since Lockjaw is sending him back to the deck.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ugh I touched 99 a couple times but back to 97...

 

[Benzine]

Stop playing after you lose!

 

[VashTheStampede]

OR, hear me out here, I chase it?

 

[VashTheStampede]

8 cube win, back to 99

My heart stopped working there for a bit

 

[shortkut]

OR, hear me out here, I chase it?

 

[canadaguy]

You got this man

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ending the night a cube below 99...hopefully tomorrow is the day.

 

[canadaguy]

First match tomorrow, double snap for 8 cube win to infinite

 

[VashTheStampede]

IT IS DONE

 

[shortkut]

Nice! It’s about time

I’m still stuck at 86. I go up to 88 and down to 82. Been at 86 for a few days now

Nice!

LOL who did Dracula discard though? If he hit Chavez you would have got all three lanes

Psylocke was my turn 7 draw

 

[VashTheStampede]

I dropped She-Hulk and ol Cheeto Fingers on that last turn. Heart dropped when he played Iron Man. Then Zabu proved Dogs > Cats

 

[canadaguy]

No argument here brother

 

[canadaguy]

Got myself a shiny new galactus, but not sure if he's worth fucking around with anymore

 

[VashTheStampede]

Galactus deck = meh

Galactus as a surprise 2nd option in another deck = hells yeah

 

[shortkut]

I just went full tilt and dropped from 89 4/7 to 81 6/7. I stopped for now

Oh man! So close to 90 too

 

[canadaguy]

So playing through a trash deck of unupgraded cards to get some boosters.

Get snapped and I'm like ok it's infinite so these don't matter and snap back.

Guy ends up winning and just spams ms marvel emote.

Like congrats I guess? I'm literally just here for boosters

 

[VashTheStampede]

Emote spammers are the worst but good God I love beating someone after they spam "Snap?" and I realize I've got the nuts.

 

[VashTheStampede]

That's also when I have to remind myself there's probably a lot of kids playing this game.

 

[shortkut]

I got as low as 79 and got back up to 82 almost 83

 

[canadaguy]

Like here is the deck. I'd be more shocked to actually win a match tbh

 

[VashTheStampede]

I got as low as 79 and got back up to 82 almost 83

I think what finally got me to the top was being a lot more okay with retreating. If the opponent snaps and I don't know what they have planned, I retreat. If they snap and I don't feel like I have a path to my best case scenario on my side, I retreat. If it's final turn and I feel like my chances are less than 60%, I retreat. 50/50s used to be the death of me.

Felt bad at first but I saw myself slowly climbing. Two steps forward and one step back gets you there eventually.

Then when I got to the high 90s, it felt like a lot of my opponents had a similar gameplan. So I got more aggressive with snapping on like turn 2 if I had a good chunk of my deck's plan in hand. That would usually lead to guaranteeing at least 2 cubes when I make my move, instead of them bouncing out for a 1 cuber once I windmill slam some bullshit on the board.

Okay so all this talk of leveling. I have never liked card games, Magic, Pokemon, Hearthstone, none of them.

Im just starting out into series 2 I believe (maybe 3 or 4 cards from Series 2), Im kinda stagnating around 30, like right on the cusp of Silver. Ive gotten up to 32, then I dropped in one morning down to 26.

It this complete lack of skill in my part? (Either in deck building or playing), or is this more that I'm being effectively "out carded"?

It's perfectly fine if you tell me I suck, Im enjoying the game and I get better at it a bit each day, but sometimes I look at the way a hand plays out and Im like "I've never seen that card before" or "I didnt know that interaction worked that way" when maybe I am just shit.

Keep ranking up cards and eventually your deck will expand. I did a lot of growth when I got a knull and Zola

I finally tried an On-Reveal deck, and so far its been good for me to climb back up again.

Its "fun" to me in the same way as the destroy deck in that you're in constant aware of how specifically you need to play cards, but its more stable in that it doesnt have to be AS precise as the destroy deck.

so you think its more cards than it is me just sucking?

Nah, you're not shit. Biggest part of getting good at the game is learning from those moments. Knowing those interactions. I'm still running into the occasional interaction that surprises me, and then it sticks with me.

Had a guy play Titania and Green Goblin on the same turn and lane against me a month or so ago. I had two cards in the location already, so he basically locked me out of that location, and he only had to drop one cheap card in there on turn 6 to make Titania jump back and win the lane. Now that's one of my favorite moves and I used it to get an Infinity Ticket today.

I love using Odin after green or hobgoblin to send them back

Yeah so much comes down to notices patterns ans predicting what your opponent may be trying to do. Factor in knowing when to leverage advantages whether in your hand or locations that benefit you.

My match win rate pre infinite is usually only 50-60%, which without strategic snapping/retreating would be barely breaking even with cubes. But knowing how to leverage those my cube rate is almost equivalent to winning 75%

ATTENTION THE GREAT AVENGER HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
This is why Avenger plays a lot of culson, fury decks in conquest. Except they dont usually get him far with people playing meta decks haha.

THE GREAT AVENGER HAS SPOKEN

Hahah so not even Avenger knows what Avenger's game plan is gonna be.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Coulson is such an underrated card. Getting 2 cards from a pool that's mostly good cards has bailed me out of so many jams. My last match I got a clutch Klaw that prevented my opponent's Galactus from going off and won me the match.
