I love the noir variants. Even better when they’re free

It probably would not shock you to learn that i spent gold on that one

My first time. Usually I just play conquest for the premium variant rewards, sometimes to get the conquest variant

After 1 game I have decided Merlin rules and I love him

 

[shortkut]

I’ll spend the tokens next season to get him and add him to my Arishem bullshit deck

[VashTheStampede]

I think you've got this 4 sure

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I've seen some reaction to this event, and shall we say it's not positive. Probably on account of it being a blatant cash grab.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Its pretty bad. And glitchy.

Was already getting kind of bored with the new cards over the last month. Might be nearing the end for me here.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

I don't want to play devil's advocate, particularly for you guys who are still playing and enjoying the game, but is Nightmare as fun and exciting as everyone seems to think? I've seen great videos from Regis and Alex where Nightmare does stupid things, such as turning Typhoid Mary into a Sentry for turn 4 and then Red Skull into an Annihilus for turn 5, or turning Giganto into Galactus. Those are amazing moments, but surely once the novelty wears off it's pretty bad for the game when you cannot possibly predict what your opponent has, save that you know they'll have high power cards with a chance of game breaking effects? Maybe I'm being overly pessimistic. But I would have thought that a game like this needs some degree of predictability for the meta to work, and Nightmare just throws that out of the window.

I just play Arishem outside of HV and the only prizes I’m going for are the premium variants

I’m not going out of my way to get him. When Merlin enters the card acquisition packs, I will pull for him and if I get anyone else, cool. I might slot him into a random Arishem/lockjaw deck for maximum randomness

 

[VashTheStampede]

I grabbed Nightmare because I love random bullshit. My first 3 games with him in the deck I never drew him.

I’m thinking of a lm Arishem/sersi/lockjaw/pixie deck for when I get nightmare. What’s you’re random bullshit deck?

My first deck was a take on Sauron with Nightmare thrown in. Haven't spent much time tinkering yet.

 

[shortkut]

Ooh, I should add Merlin and blink (after I get Merlin)

 

[Crazy Jamie]

From what I've seen you do need the Sauron as a backup if you don't draw Nightmare. Otherwise you're stuck with powerful cards that have big downsides. It's basically a classic Sauron/Shuri/Red Skull/Taskmaster build but with Nightmare and Infinaut instead of Shuri and Taskmaster. Your other option is to give it a War Machine flavour with Storm, and then you can also incorporate Giganto as well as Maw etc. You can straddle those two builds a bit.

That’s more strategy and less random bullshit

 

[Benzine]

Turned this back on since my last post. What did I miss cause like fuck I’m looking at all these notifications.

I presume phoenix torch mm is still the best deck?

 

[Benzine]

as I see cards I haven’t seen I will judge them

Frigga is a hearthstone card

 

[Benzine]

Peni Parker isn’t good enough

 

[Benzine]

Peni Parker is too close a name to what flash called Peter in the mcu spider-man and i would hate to think they inspired the name also I don’t read comics I am assuming peni is Peter’s daughter

 

[Benzine]

Lasher is the kinda card I love. But because he can be consistently played around I bet he’s not that key. I’d like to have him though.

I like a good Lasher/Namora play

 

[VashTheStampede]

If the datamines are accurate to final release and the Fantasticar is exclusive to the Premium Season Pass or whatever its called, that will likely be the end of me giving this game money. Might stop playing altogether. The greed is too much these days.

 

[shortkut]

I hadn’t heard of the fantasticar or anything. This game is just an idle time waster for me, so I’ll probably keep on with it for a time

 

[Crazy Jamie]

This is a really detailed, measured response to the state of the game from Regis. As the creator with the highest number of followers and views, and the largest reach, it feels significant to get a video like this from him. I have watched his videos more after stopping playing the game than I did when I played it because he is more entertaining than anything, but this video shows that he is an intelligent, thoughtful guy. You've had the knee jerk reaction to the latest mode from the other creators, but he's the first one to properly break this down. I doubt the game will die, but I think quite a few people will do what Vash is doing in response to these latest changes.

For what it's worth, I was going to stop playing anyway, but I didn't think for one second that the changes to spotlight caches would signal a broader change and greater respect for the player base. So I can't say that this surprises me at all.

EDIT:



Jeff Hoogland has directly responded, and plays Regis' video on 1.5x and comments on it as he goes. Again, thoughtful comments, adds to some things, disagrees with some things. I respect both of these guys, and if you haven't seen either I'd watch Jeff's, and then you can see both. If you're minded to watch either, of course.

I also haven't played in ages but every time I get the itch im like "yeah but there's probably like 100 new cards and I'd have to relearn the game"

If I play, I only use Arishem now. So I don’t have to learn anything

I haven't watched any Youtube videos since I've been on holiday, so there's every chance that I disconnect from the game entirely too. Not that I've played since February, but it has been fun watching some of the Youtube guys playing.

 

[Benzine]

They are changing torch I am leaving not even looking at the change

 

[shortkut]

I haven’t opened the app in weeks. I didn’t know they were changing him. What’s the change?

 

[Benzine]

i only saw he's moving to 3 3/3

So they’re making it easy to power him up with surfer and harder to kill with killmonger?

 

[Crazy Jamie]

They seem to have just smashed Move into the ground. They changed Vulture to a 1 power card too, but new Vulture doesn't scale as well as old Torch, and new Torch doesn't scale as well as old Vulture unless you move him on all three turns.

I don't know about other cards that might exist to make Move more viable, but from the mere seconds that I've read on this, I get the impression that they nerfed the archetype when it wasn't even particularly meta. Which is something that they usually do when they have cards they know are coming out that will boost it.

 

[Crazy Jamie]

So it seems like the game is having issues, to some degree at least. Twitch viewership has apparently crashed through the floor (though that makes sense because apparently they've stopped Twitch drops now?), and Alex mentioned on his gameplay section of his Fallen One video that a lot of content creators are feeling the reduced numbers. There's a Reddit thread which has tracked various metrics, including things like comments and engagement with the weekly release thread on Reddit, and numbers are clearly notably down.

It's a shame for the content creators. Some of them are very good and they're obviously doing their best, though many of them have already diversified into other areas. The likes of Regis and Jeff did many other games before Snap and will do many more after it. Others won't be as lucky. But it seems like this game is on the decline, at least for the moment.
