Introduction and Secret Homework

00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome to episode 60 of Snap on This, a Marvel Snap podcast. This week's secret homework, design a zombie version of a card already in the game. Maybe put a twist on their ability.
00:00:14
Speaker
I'm your host, Lauren Wodevs, here with my usual incredible co-hosts. First up, it's Ben, this week. Ben, how was your week in Snap? And keep snappy.
00:00:25
Speaker
Well, endeavoring to keep it snappy, as I always do 100% of the time. ah It was a pretty good week in Snap.

Ben's Deck and Performance Discussion

00:00:31
Speaker
ah Let's see. Right after we recorded the podcast, this always happens, I built a deck that I liked a lot, and I played that...
00:00:42
Speaker
They were trying to sell me the white borders and everything. It's so funny when you're on like when you're on the cusp and you go like back and forth and they just like keep throwing the pop-up at you as you get into and out of the top 5,000 all the time.
00:00:55
Speaker
Oh, my goodness. um But anywho, I realized I put that in the show notes. I don't even need to look at my phone. It was a discard deck. It's called Vamps vs. Zombies. This was before the zombies got involved, but I was like, I'll probably keep playing it after the zombie season starts. And sure enough, I have. ah And the the cards, they are Meek, Scorn, Blade, Morbius, Redshift, Gambit, Corvus Glaive, Lady Sif, Dracula, Modok, Khonshu, and Apocalypse.
00:01:22
Speaker
I started out with Colleen Wing instead of Redshift, but then I was like, I don't know, Colleen, you are... I don't feel like I'm getting my money's worth. And, uh, red shift is pretty cool cause it's good to get more cards in your hand so that you can discard more cards and stuff.
00:01:38
Speaker
And, uh, yeah. Also, a couple new discard cards came out, uh, since the deck got built, but i have not tried to shoehorn them in.
00:01:49
Speaker
ah just didn't seem worth it. The deck works really well. I job wouldn't, I'm not, I'm not here to change things for the sake of changing things. Like,
00:02:00
Speaker
If it ain't broke, don't don't fix it. So anywho, that's a deck that's been working really well for me. Another deck that's been working really well for me is the Jim Hammond deck that i've been playing for a month.
00:02:11
Speaker
um Very good and cool. I don't know if I've been playing it for a month, but I've been playing it for weeks.

Merlin's Role and Technical Issues

00:02:17
Speaker
Weeks, I tell you. and that one, it's called Jimmy Eat Energy. It's got the hood. It's got Kitty Pryde. It's got Jim Hammond Human Torch. It's got Merlin. Merlin is really the hero.
00:02:26
Speaker
holding the holding the whole thing together Merlin so often is then we got Hope, Summers, Lunasnow, Wiccan, Cosmic Ghost Rider, Blink, Enchantress Galactus First Steps, and Giganto gosh, I know I've said this before but I really hope that when the time comes to nerf Merlin and the time will come to nerf Merlin hope they just take him down to two two and they keep all the spells the same i really I really would like that ah that would just a I'd be happy about it I could see Omniversal going to plus one instead of plus two.
00:02:58
Speaker
a You know, i hope they I hope they don't do that. I mean, no here's the thing. I'd still play that. I'd still play that gladly. They they can do that. yeah Yeah, that's also fine. Either one of those is fine.
00:03:10
Speaker
i guess I guess that's a good suggestion. I don't know. ah What else happened this week in Snap and Snap adjacent things? ah Final Fantasy 10 Tuesday has really run into some issues.
00:03:24
Speaker
And the issues are not with Tuesday. They're with Final Fantasy X-2, unfortunately. ah the The PC version of the HD remastered collection thing. Wow.
00:03:36
Speaker
that That game likes to crash a lot. Like, every 10 minutes. Like, it's kind of un-streamable. Like, yeah you can't even, like, walk down the Mienhai road with without... Like, you can't you can't make it across, like, a single room of the Mienhai road.
00:03:51
Speaker
Oh, no. It's, like... Just ah so I have given up on that for now. And this is after I tried to do a patch thingy. Like I, I, I used the, the mod thing that give it four gigabytes of Ram to work with so that it could do its thing. even Yeah. Yeah.
00:04:09
Speaker
man and uh things did not get better so that's that's all frustrating i'm not really feeling like fixing it right now so if you have some cool tips don't give them to me i'm i'm not ready for that uh if i am ready for tips later i will solicit them at that time um But right now i think I'm going to throw up my hands and pick some other game that has a fun portmanteau ah with the day of the week. I'm really i'm really contemplating Marvel's Midnight Suns Day or ah perhaps if I like that enough and I want to do it two days in a row.

Reed's Travel Experiences and Game Strategies

00:04:47
Speaker
What about Marvel's Midnight Mons Day? Huh? What about that? I think that's fun. Rolls right off the tongue. Other than that, I'm trying to get a night one clear in Hades 2 in under 20 minutes because that's that seems to be like that's that's what separates the chumps from the champs is that 20 minute threshold.
00:05:08
Speaker
ah So I don't know. i can get 22s and I can see how I will get under 20, but... Yeah, I don't know. We'll we'll get there. I'm still saving a lot of the late game content for for later because I want to savor it.
00:05:23
Speaker
Savor the flavor. Yeah, that's been my week in Snap and other stuff. I did eventually draw the um and I drew some zombies for the speakeasy. It happened there. So check it out.
00:05:34
Speaker
Well, or don't they're they're they're exactly fine. Nothing to write. Yeah, that was my week. Great. read How was your week in Snap? And keep it snappy.
00:05:47
Speaker
Okay, ah hopefully I will not be more scatterbrained than normal. I've traveling all week, and we did the podcast early last week for me, to the and now we're like, I'm back, and now we're doing again.
00:06:03
Speaker
Oh, and it was like, it was just like a traveling and I definitely picked up a cold and like, oh my gosh, like the, the, like fucking Florida is so angry. Like the rain there, like it just, um, like it splatted and smeared on my windshield in way that just does not happen in Ohio. I'm like, did you just spit on me, Florida?
00:06:24
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, get the fuck out. Anyway, so um so yeah, I'm back. But okay, while I was gone, and here's the thing. So like, ah you know, lot of us have and ah been struggling with our conquest goals for months because there's just so many other modes and we don't have all the time and there's like tournaments. There's all kinds of stuff happening, right?
00:06:50
Speaker
Because I remember there was a time earlier on in conquest where i would get one at least one like every month you know maybe multiple it was like the thing and now and now it's like you know now we're all like looking at a you know, stack of tits like raffle tickets and just like watch them go up in f flames every month. I feel like that's the story for a lot of people.
00:07:15
Speaker
But something that I do this month differently than I've kind of also been doing that maybe made take Infinite slightly more seriously is that I've been sticking with one deck more than usual.
00:07:30
Speaker
um well while monogamous in life in in the game, I am very much poloomous with my decks. Like, I'm very, like, I get bored and I go back.
00:07:41
Speaker
There's one I usually, like, in a season, like, I usually, there's just random decks. There's decks I build and then play once. I'm like, what was I thinking? and And then there's, like, maybe five decks that'll bounce around. you Usually it's a lot of stuff, and I don't even mention half of it.
00:07:56
Speaker
um You know, like this week I played around with X. I still can just not if I can say her name. But um I'm not even going to talk about. But this one I played lot more than usual. I still played a lot of decks.
00:08:10
Speaker
But I did stick with my Existential Dread deck. far more than I usually ah play deck. And I knew that then I kind of wanted, it felt like the right time when you've been playing a deck a lot.
00:08:23
Speaker
Because, I mean, like Ladder, it's the same thing with Conquest. I mean, obviously, if something is really not working for you, you don't, you know, don't throw in on a losing hand. But, you know, if you stick with one deck,
00:08:39
Speaker
And you can learn the ins and outs of that deck. That's your best chance to make serious goes. And ah when I was sitting in a hotel room, i wasn't sitting, I was laying in bed.
00:08:51
Speaker
I'm playing, you know, like being like, it was Monday. It was Monday night. So I'm like, I have to get through every, all of my tickets. I'm on the road all day tomorrow. Like this is my last chance to burn through everything. And I was on my very last infinite ticket because I was just, you know, it's just a little out of it. I wasn't playing super soon.
00:09:13
Speaker
I haven't really played all week because i like I, you know, I've been traveling and stuff. And, um you know, and I got my seventh infant. I already told Lloyd in bed, it's not a surprise.
00:09:26
Speaker
But like I got my seventh. It's my seventh avatar. I actually looked at like, many do I actually have?

Reed's Gameplay Achievements and Creative Combos

00:09:33
Speaker
And it's my first in like months because I either like I both either didn't play at all for Infinite or I didn't play seriously or I didn't have a lot of tickets because I didn't play a lot of Conquest that month, you know, et cetera.
00:09:45
Speaker
Um, yay! And I picked it. It's on the Mantis. Mantis avatar. It's like, it's the Megan Hettrick one, which I don't expect people to remember because it was like a bundle. It's my, one of the rare bundle paid cash money bundle variants that I own because it was, it was like a $15 bundle variant and it was around my birthday when I'm a very giving, self-giving mood.
00:10:14
Speaker
And I'm like, yes, I deserve this for me. Why not? Why shouldn't I? Sorry, I always have to turn myself into Gollum. Any comparisons of me and Gollum are totally valid. um he put And, okay.
00:10:29
Speaker
And then I was, and it was like valid the whole time. Okay. As I realized, because there's been several months in a row on a ticket that I wasn't taking seriously or one of my few tickets that I've gotten to match five and lost.
00:10:43
Speaker
And I am always, okay, this is maybe one of the more meta decks I played and in Infinite. you know, I'm always trying to win with my bullshit. So I'm going did it with my bullshit like because that's my favorite thing to do and um But this time, yes, it's a couple... Okay, it's not because Hulkling is there.
00:11:03
Speaker
it's such a wild card. The thing with Hulkling is it's like Hulkling now. You can grow up to be anything you want to be because you're an emperor. But like, it's not an infinite.
00:11:16
Speaker
Not allowed. Not for you. When he is, it's so annoying when you needed him to be something else. such a good surprise. That's what I like. I like having... if you can take...
00:11:28
Speaker
Even like ah somewhat close to meta deck and swap out a couple cards for cards that can give you surprise. Especially for me. This is why I love Arishem. love to have a bit of randomness. I love to play not exactly the same deck every time.
00:11:43
Speaker
um And Hulkling gives me that. And Copycat. She's fun. Okay. um And yeah, my fifth match, I was playing this. It was like, it was a bounce deck. And I'm like, oh, Stardust can't help us here. Stardust is still pretty helpful.
00:12:02
Speaker
and To be honest. Especially a lot of Destroy lately. yeah, or when someone forgets to like, he'll stop their Hello.
00:12:12
Speaker
That kind of stuff's fun. Anyway, um... I will say, so, you know, I got that. Very excited. I've been playing it on ladder. haven't gotten it playing quite as much into the new season yet. I'm still like in the 80s.
00:12:30
Speaker
um Taking a victory lap with this deck. And I just wanted to point out... If you haven't been listening to the podcast all the time and you have no idea what I'm talking about, you don't remember, is Galactus' first step, Quicksilver, Domino, right?
00:12:45
Speaker
So that's one of the reasons I like the real randomness later on because if different and kind of basic. um But, oh, Mobius is still ah he still good.
00:12:58
Speaker
Okay, against a lot of decks. but um feels so important right now, yeah. Right? Generally so good so much of the time. This deck was a lot of counters. So when you run into a deck that can get powerful and yeah and it it doesnt it doesn't hit a Mobius. I'm not getting it with Stardust.
00:13:17
Speaker
I can't get it with Cosmic Ghost Riders. And I'm like, oh, Hulkling better come through big. The Emperor got to pull us out of this one. Yeah. But what's interesting, I just wanted to point some notes.
00:13:32
Speaker
Hulkling, I have been so sorely tempted. think it would be fun to put Infinity Ultron in that spot. I think that would be good. But I can't take out Hulkling I got the Rian Gonzalez variant.
00:13:46
Speaker
And every time I get a cheeky win with him and he's just like this little like a little that little face like at the last one. I know they weren't expecting a fucking Hulkling in my Galactus First Steps Quicksilver Domino deck. I know they weren't expecting it. it just brings me such joy. Let alone such a cute one.
00:14:04
Speaker
Right? It's a very cute one. seen the Rian and Salas, they're very chibi, like adorable. Yeah. And I know they're just like spamming this Marvel on me. I'm like, haha. Okay.
00:14:16
Speaker
Anyway. um Although I did... I'll talk about it later. I did lose very hard with Emperor Walkling very recently. It's Swords and AQ Plus.
00:14:28
Speaker
Okay. Foreshadowing. and Yeah, and then, okay, I actually finally took Cassandra Nova. I did get the infinite avatar with her.
00:14:39
Speaker
i um once I got on ladder, it was like not seeing so much Arsham anymore, Kings, that kind of stuff, where she was really just like clinching another win for me often.
00:14:52
Speaker
And funnily enough, the spot I had first thought to replace Negasonic with a three cost was Rocket and Groot. And that's what I've been putting back in. And particularly, like, yesterday. Because, like, the hot location. and mix of ah hot location where I knew that made it more likely they're going to play somewhere. And people playing Scarlet Witch more.
00:15:14
Speaker
So I feel like this spot in the deck, you know, you got to look at what spot in your deck is the flex tech card when you're deck building. And then you can kind of keep maneuvering your deck into new eras.
00:15:28
Speaker
Unless they get... nerfed to hell or anything. But yeah, so Rocket. Because when I, when someone puts down a Hope or Zombie Scarlet Witch or an Angela, they get real upset when you put your Rocket in Groot there.
00:15:44
Speaker
Oh, man. And then there was the location that moves once and someone had a Mercury and they were trying to trap my Rocket, but we moved them both at the same time. Very good. Anyway.
00:15:55
Speaker
Okay. ah So, yeah. ah That victory is ah what I've been, you know, tying my self-esteem too lately.
00:16:12
Speaker
Okay. No, I'm just kidding.

Lauren's Gaming Experiences and Deck Success

00:16:15
Speaker
um That's my week in SNAP. Lauren, our third co-host, who is also amazing and brilliant and doesn't often get to have adjectives like we do. That's true. We should work in.
00:16:29
Speaker
Yeah, we said we should each intro. Please tell us about your week. Or um I've been playing lots of Hades, too. I am not... Well, I shouldn't say I'm not savoring the post-game or like the late-game stuff, but I'm plowing through it. I'm well past where I was in the the beta.
00:16:48
Speaker
um and got to the credits. you know and There's stuff to do after the credits, too. Yeah, there is. work Working on that. um You know, build maximizing my relationships with all the characters, like running over a dozen nectars in my inventory at all times because we're just giving it out like candy at this point.
00:17:10
Speaker
Taking lots of baths. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Going fishing. yeah Yeah. That's tough. It's great. um The writing is great. The music is great. It's wonderful.
00:17:21
Speaker
ah It's been really fun because. My wife has been watching me play it and she likes Greek mythology and she's like, oh, that looks like a fun game. I want to play it And I'm like, have I got the game for you? Hades won.
00:17:35
Speaker
And the Switch just let us like do virtual game card. It was the first time I've done it because it's pretty recent. it's it's ah Since the Switch 2 came out, they added this feature. But as far as I know.
00:17:46
Speaker
But I have a virtual game card for every game and I can just put our switches next to each other and be like, here, you borrow this for 14 days. I've heard some people say negative things about it, honestly, it worked flawlessly for us. and And I thought that was great. Like, I thought I was going to have to do some finagling, like, because I can use the offline version on my Switch, but on her Switch, we have I have to be online. So she'll have to play it on my account. Like, I thought we were going have to do something like that.
00:18:09
Speaker
But nope, just let her borrow it for a couple weeks and I'll let her borrow it again if she's... still playing. She's been playing it a lot, so probably. Anyway. um She's beat Hades like seven or eight times, so she's doing great. I'm proud of her.
00:18:24
Speaker
um And she did, I think she did it once or twice before turning on God Mode. I kept telling her, like, you're frustrated, turn on God Mode. She's like, I want you to be proud of me. You know, I wasn't going to ask, but was wondering if this was if God Mode was involved, but wow. She did it once or twice with God Mode. Quit leading dead. Quit lot of Hades.
00:18:43
Speaker
feel your podcast She thinks it's funny I'm talking about her. Anyway, um the other thing I did is I did hit infinite by staying up too late last night. i had a monster today during work because I stayed up too late. You're out of control. That's a dumb thing to do, but you know, ADHD. Also, I found a deck that was working well with the hot location with the raft. um I played some with all five of the new cards.
00:19:08
Speaker
he Didn't love any of them. We'll talk about that more in just a second. um But probably made it to like mid 80s while while goofing off. And then hot Location rolled around and I was like, you know what will probably do good here?
00:19:20
Speaker
The Patriot deck that I used to cross Infinite last season during my Nuzlocke. But now I have the hood to use. and He was dead last time. ah So I replaced Yellow Jacket with the hood and it was is a great deck. I like the Yellow Jacket version, too, but hood's better.
00:19:33
Speaker
Um, did some sneaky things with Patriot and Annihilus and Century and Valkyrie and Ultron. Ultron steals wind sometimes, you know, um not just the reach, although the reach is a big part of it. Let's be real.
00:19:47
Speaker
um But sometimes people are just like, they underestimate how much power you you can put out in three locations in a single turn because of that guy. Especially if you have Patriot up. Although I feel like if Patriot's up, they should be thinking about Ultron. Yeah, there should be no element of surprise then. Yeah. yeah Anyway, ah it went hot location. won because Hulkling was in Ultron numerous times. Yeah, 612 Ultron's even better than us. a generated Ultron. I'm never never running him in the deck, but yeah. Okay.
00:20:17
Speaker
But this is one of the great things. Our friend Scott recently wrote his, it was like his 250th article or something for Snap Fan. And it was about why Marvel.
00:20:28
Speaker
Yeah, it was about why Marvel Snap is the greatest ah game ever. You know, maybe, maybe hyperbole. think it was a card game ever. Okay. You know, ah granny. And yeah, but I was thinking about it's like really,
00:20:44
Speaker
ah You know, the locations are sorry so right. By the way, we all provided quotes for the article. Look it up. and Yeah. you should and It's a very well-written article. You should read it Snap.fans.
00:20:59
Speaker
yeah And is this thing about? Oh, yeah. But this interaction with locations is one of the great things about this card game because most of your interactions, you know, are slightly more into the the chess realm.
00:21:18
Speaker
Where, um like, it's like just between your cards are the neat stuff and the cool little tricks you can find, you know, with your opponent's card. But here are the locations.
00:21:31
Speaker
Keep giving you new ways to find clever ways to use your cards. And I get a lot of joy from that. I was playing the other day and I'm like, I'm fucked, I'm fucked.
00:21:42
Speaker
I'm fucked. Okay. I don't know if you're like, have this continual dialogue in your head sometimes when you're playing, but like, I not ever. Okay. And I'm why?
00:21:57
Speaker
I was like, what do I do? And I had all this extra energy from Wiccan. I had various things I could play it. But here's the problem. Hulkling was an Ultron. And I'm like, well, I definitely i just automatically originally in my head thought, well, we have to play that last turn. I don't want to, you know, you never, you try not to fill up locations unless you're tricking your opponent because they're banking on you not filling your location. you know, you know, you know, Vizzini style.
00:22:19
Speaker
Anyway, so. um ah But then I realized I was like, oh, wait, I can play it early because I have that Wiccan energy. And if I play Hulkling this turn, that will fill up the right location, which will give me back my discarded...
00:22:38
Speaker
Uh, like, I think it was Cosmic Ghost Rider, the thing that was going to win me the game, you know, and, uh, that I needed to to shut them down. I'm like, oh, I can get it back, you know?
00:22:49
Speaker
And it's like, that's because of locations, right? They found the Hulkling, which gets to be a random card, which once again is a digital thing we can't have in print. Like, Magic, Magic, yeah, they're textbooks.
00:23:03
Speaker
That's why you eventually have to just make a new card game or get digital or something. But like, yeah, and then I could use that to to find an interesting way to interact with the location that allowed me to win. And I get to have so many more of those realizations that in this card game.
00:23:22
Speaker
Anyway, too much derailment, so... No, you're fine. That's what talking about. My quote in said article, i list probably like eight things that the game does right. And Scott asked, like, what's your favorite thing about Snap? Or something like that. Like, what does Snap do right?
00:23:36
Speaker
What makes Snap unique? That sort of thing. And I just, like, I couldn't. Like, I tried thinking about it. You know, is it the Snap and Retreat mechanics? Is it the three-minute gameplay? Is it 12-card decks? Is it that 95% of the cards in the game are can be used in the meta?
00:23:52
Speaker
like they it's all those things i feel like that's kind of a high a high percentage okay nine whatever it is it's a lot like when there's golden gauntlet tournaments like the number of cards that are represented in zero decks it's like it's really impressive how low that number is um you know is it the live balance is it the cool things they do with digital cards like there's so many things that make it special but i totally agree locations are critical I've seen people wish that there was a mode where there was three ruins locations. And I think that if people had that, they would be surprised by how boring the game gets so fast.
00:24:26
Speaker
Like, yes, it does suck getting screwed over by locations, but they add so much variety from one game to the next. The way they interact with each other, the way they interact with your deck, the way that you're doing mind games over them. Like there's so much, even the simple locations.
00:24:42
Speaker
Also, that's how helps with them. Sorry, go ahead. Okay, there's there's one location that I think is not doing enough, and every time it rolls, I'm like, this should have been a more interesting location. It's Rocket Pad from the first Step season. it is such a non-location.
00:24:58
Speaker
It is nothing. Don't even try to win Rocket Pad. It's not worth thinking about. It's nothing. It is ruins. I like Rocket Peg because I can usually with my with my deck, I can usually win it because I get the priority.
00:25:12
Speaker
oh what did you get? What did you get for for winning? Plus three. Meh. ah I don't know. I'd rather have, i'd rather have like, two cards.
00:25:25
Speaker
ah I'd rather, like, man, it's the least interesting. If I aligned that with my Galactus first steps it's like a double bonus.
00:25:36
Speaker
I was already trying to win a lane forever. now I have even double the reason to do it. But this is part of what, I think one of the things that Scott said um that was great about the game is that you don't have,
00:25:50
Speaker
To be collection complete, you don't have to spend all of the money to win games. And part of that is because of the the locations giving you the randomness so that it's not just a chessboard, you know, with more pieces.
00:26:05
Speaker
um giving you that chance, but also your ability to use your brain better than your opponent, know their cards, to know the locations, to think of clever ways you know to trap them with those. And it's like, we always talk about locations, but it's just like, I don't know, lately I've thought about more ways that they're actually giving to the game than just you know keeping it mixed up.
00:26:36
Speaker
Totally. All right. Let's revisit last week's cards. First up, just give me a yes or no. Do you have new thoughts? ah Do you want to talk about either Jocasta or Super Adaptoid?

Marvel Snap's Unique Aspects and Card Impact

00:26:49
Speaker
Yes. Okay. This is my eight cube last story. Both of them or just one? Okay. Which one do want talk about? All I have to say about Super Adaptoid is I only saw it once and I was not playing Activate. I did not fear him.
00:27:01
Speaker
can' hide No one is prehamed. I think the last time I saw Super Adaptoid was when I was playing Super Adaptoid when we recorded last week for one day to try out Super Adaptoid. I don't think anyone has Super Adaptoided me since then. had I've had him ruin my fun once or twice.
00:27:20
Speaker
um Definitely a combo ruiner, but not usually a game winner. I guess it depends on how invested I am in that card. um Anyway, the reason I was positioning it like that is I want to know if I should read off these cards text before we talk about them.
00:27:38
Speaker
Is your AQ loss very about Jocasta? Yeah, Jocasta. Okay, Jocasta, Activate, immediately activate your other cards here without using up their activate abilities.
00:27:50
Speaker
want to hear your devastating loss. Okay, I actually played some Jocasta, but that's not what I want to talk about. I was playing my Existential Dread deck against Jocasta, and they snapped because they had their Invisible Woman's First Steps, and I knew they were going to hit their bullshit. And it's like, when you know Invisible Woman's First Steps is going to hit its all its bullshit, and you can't stop it, then like...
00:28:19
Speaker
you know you have to retreat and um and the reason they got it was because ah they got like it was invisible woman with jocasta and then they prodigy the jocasta they got eight procs i believe eight procs it's eight if they like played invisible one on the last turn it's ten if they if they were able to activate her also Yes, they did all of that because they prodigyed the Jocasta, believe, was what got prodigyed. was very...
00:28:51
Speaker
it was You know, was kind of a late night. So was just like, yes, kid. It's going to be a lot. It was even bigger than I thought. And okay, so I knew this was, I normally, this would be a reason I would retreat. But this, you see, this is the reason I play Emperor Hulkling.
00:29:09
Speaker
I like to defy fate. I like to take my Han Solo, you know, one in a million odds and run with him. And in my hand, in my hand,
00:29:20
Speaker
is ah Emperor Hulkling. And the left, and it's Galactus. It's a Galactus. And the left location, left location is the one that gives you rocks or whatever. It's the bird location.
00:29:33
Speaker
And so, you know, I know they're not, you know, it's a location where know they're not playing. And I was like, I snapped them right back when they snapped me. And we're in it for eight cubes because what I did not realize. So like, and they're sitting there. we come We come to the final turn.
00:29:54
Speaker
And on that location, all they have is, okay, to be fair, they did get a hydrabob across on my snap. On her snaps. That's where it moved.
00:30:04
Speaker
And then I couldn't move it again because I'd already snapped. Just see, snap. Move the hydropob again. Okay, this was this was the first mistake.
00:30:15
Speaker
The second... Okay, so all they have... They have a 1-0 sunspot there. And I am just like... giggling, okay? Because my this is my favorite.
00:30:25
Speaker
This is my favorite. When someone is playing a meta deck, the most meta, this is just like the Inviswoman's first step. yeah No substitutions. Just you know straight up auto or whatever.
00:30:36
Speaker
and um you know And they're gonna hit literally all of their bullshit. And still... I will beat them with shenanigans and I am so excited. And then the turn comes and I see the animations. And when she activates all of the cards, I had never noticed this before. I never wrote thought about it. They get the little bubbles over them. so you know that the end of turns are going to go off. And I'm like, oh, no.
00:31:06
Speaker
Yeah. This is the way I thought would go. And then, you know, all the locations blow up. ah You know, fortunately, they were muted. So I missed out whatever they thought about all this.
00:31:19
Speaker
yeah
00:31:22
Speaker
And like... And then I'm like, still maybe. It's so fucking sunspot. And they only played Fantasticar, like on turn six. So they only had two unspent energies. So I'm like,
00:31:41
Speaker
Come on, Hulkling. And then it's just like, boom, boom, boom. You know, five minutes later. It doesn't fast forward. There's nothing. it's either you fast forward and it's like, but...
00:31:54
Speaker
You know, or the animations go slower. And it's like, if it were me and I were making a game, would fix it. Anyway, so it was better. It was a good experience. and So, but like, yeah, it just sucked. I lost eight cubes. That's devastating to just have to watch it. It was It crushed my soul. It was one of those where you just like, you don't even like hit next Next and close out the game properly. You're just like, boom, out.
00:32:25
Speaker
Swipe it off screen. yeah If the final turn is a long animation, I just quit the app. I'm like, honestly, reloading this and reconnecting to the final results is going to be faster than watching this bullshit.
00:32:39
Speaker
Yeah. Right. It's like when you're playing a conquest game and you beat someone like really hard and bad or maybe multiple times and they're just down to like one or two cubes and you just see that like count.
00:32:51
Speaker
You know I mean? You're like, they rage quit out and I just have to wait for the timer to go down. You know exactly what happened. Anyway. okay Yeah, this was in Ladder, so I wasn't like...
00:33:05
Speaker
today Let's talk about this week's cards. um We're going to start with our season pass.

Critique of Zombie Scarlet Witch and Deck Viability

00:33:10
Speaker
Zombie Scarlet Witch, After you play a card here, Horde plus 2.
00:33:17
Speaker
i i'll go first. We'll rotate the order. Whatever. um i This card's fine. I have not been impressed by it, by playing it or playing against it. I think three is just a little bit too slow.
00:33:32
Speaker
And I think two is going to be tricky for them to balance. But, you know, maybe maybe it'll just be a two two or a 2-1. I would be... I kind of think it's wise for them to wait until there's more horde cards before making the tune the adjustment. But I would be surprised if she stays at a three. Yeah. Yeah.
00:33:52
Speaker
Any other thoughts from you two? It's like I said, I gave her a two, but only because I was being nice and I knew they would buff her. Who'd have thought? Bad Angela is bad. Weird. It's almost like a card that was good when it was two is not as good when it's three.
00:34:09
Speaker
ah I don't know. Also, weird choice to release her first without any support. Not that these other horde cards are good as freestanding things. I guess unless you release them all at once, this is going to be a problem with whichever pieces you release first. It's a little awkward. They're not good activates that are just cards, or good end-of-turn cards that are just cards.
00:34:35
Speaker
you know they They have this... Stupid keyword. It's just not a well-designed season, in my opinion.
00:34:45
Speaker
Um, my experience with Zombie Witch is like, haven't played her yet because it's been too much fun to play against her. Like you said, she's too slow. Here's how it goes.
00:34:56
Speaker
I put down my Quicksilver, right? They put down a kitty somewhere. Turn two. Angela goes there, but I'm putting down Domino, so I'm still winning my Galactus first steps, assuming he's in my hand, right?
00:35:10
Speaker
So then I have Pryo. So when turn three happens and I put down my Rocket and Groot, they're already getting upset because that's when they're putting down, you know, Hope or Zombie Scarlet Witch, right? But they need to continue to play there because they've invested multiple cards, right, in that lane. They can't just be like, well, fuck off. Because that's what usually happens with Rocket and Groot is like, well, i just fuck off that lane for a while. they have multiple cards there. So I know they have to play there.
00:35:40
Speaker
So they angrily play while Rocket Recruit and Groot gets bigger. and then, you know, and then we do whatever enter in turn four, whatever you're feeling. Maybe copycat.
00:35:51
Speaker
That's been sad is when Kitty is big and your copycat picks a kitty, it's like, well, I'm glad to know they didn't get it. But, you know, like not great for me anyway. Yeah. One of one of the four copycat hits.
00:36:07
Speaker
Right. ah like five But five, I get Rocket Raccoon, and then I Cosmic Ghost Rider. There's Zombie Scarlet Witch, and now she's just a 3-2 in that lane, doing nothing for them.
00:36:21
Speaker
And I usually So I do it after invested, you know stuff in that lane. And now it's like more closed out and probably am i already going to win that lane? Also whatever else lane.
00:36:34
Speaker
And it's like, that's, that's mostly how I've seen zombie Scarlet Witch go down to be honest. Yeah. I've seen some cute things like people trying to bounce the horde and clone it. It's like, it's too slow. You just, you can't do that. Even though it's a zero, it,
00:36:49
Speaker
I think that's very hard to make it work. I think maybe that'll be something once we've got The Hunger. like i don't i don't think that Bounce Horde is like... yeah not I don't think that's a non-starter forever. I think it's just a non-starter right now.
00:37:00
Speaker
Yeah, I agree. I think yeah adding The Hunger and Zombie Mr. Fantastic will both help a lot. um The other thing I've i've seen... ah prodigy like like agony prodigy so they have two scarlet witches going at the same time and it's like yeah their zombies getting pretty big but they're they also invested a lot in that you know in the in the witch lane um and then the last thing i've seen a lot of is strange supreme and that is just okay like okay cool he's going up by four every turn like cute it's definitely cute it's fine it's not necessarily bad but it's not like
00:37:38
Speaker
I think you can play Strange Supreme just fine without Zombie Witch. Yeah. um Okay. are super premium season pass card, also available in Snap Packs. Head Pool. When this is destroyed, return it to your hand, then give all cards in your hand plus one power.
00:37:56
Speaker
Ben? I like this one a lot. As far as new cards go from this week... ah It's the one I'm least likely to snap in response to. um if If I see Zombie Scarlet Witch, I snap if I think I have a good hand. i mean, like, I'm just like, oh, you're not, you're playing a bad deck, I see.
00:38:19
Speaker
And, you know, like, that's just what, yeah, but Head Pool seems to go in good destroyed decks that work. So i respect a Head Pool and do not look to see if it's appropriate to snap.
00:38:35
Speaker
I like Head Pool. I'm excited to play Head Pool myself at some point in the future. ah did. I did pick it up for six thousand tokens, um actually for five thousand tokens. Snap packs, baby. You got Head Pool. Let's go.
00:38:51
Speaker
I've seen head pull. the That's the card I've seen the most this week, even over zombie sky, which, which I'm not surprised, you know, like we were talking about it last week and I do think it's like a good card and card people will like.
00:39:03
Speaker
And, uh, you know, um, if I get a Stardust at the right time, um, Still beating a destroy deck. But not as, you know, not always.
00:39:16
Speaker
um still seems good. I'm just playing a ah very specific, ah you know, destroy counter. in And Stardust doesn't counter the headpool part of the destroy deck.
00:39:30
Speaker
No, but like, headpool can only be so good without the rest. Yeah, I mean...
00:39:38
Speaker
X23 almost in every single destroy deck, right? Wolverine, Zola. Wolverine is back to being an almost... Since he got his last buff and that he gets the plus three and stuff, like he's in almost every... Yes, Zola.
00:39:52
Speaker
Plus three? think he just starts high. He does plus two, right? Doesn't he? Yeah. There's some times where I've had enough energy from, like, Silver Surfer Wiccan location bullshittery that I've turned six, played a Stardust, anacosmic ghostw writer and Rider their little, like, Black Panther, Zolo combo!
00:40:18
Speaker
And it's just, like, such overkill! It's such joy to shut people down sometimes. Okay. Um...
00:40:29
Speaker
The Sandcastle Kicker. Yeah.
00:40:34
Speaker
I did not think this card was very fun. um And I tried it in a handful of things. Oh, you've played it. yeah It looks fun. tried it in the like the main destroy shell that's going around that also rocks Moira.
00:40:48
Speaker
um You know, it is nice having a a something 14 death instead of a something 12 death. ah But i'm kind of I'm surprised how much he's being used in destroy. That was one thing where I was like, he's not better than like Nico or agony.
00:41:04
Speaker
um he might be better than agony. I don't know if you're using his story scoring. He's cool. I don't know. Are you, are you sure worse than agony? I'm worse than agony for Deadpool. Yes. I'm sure. Like one specific thing, I guess. Yeah.
00:41:20
Speaker
Yeah. Um, and yeah. And you know, maybe spreading out the power is better. I will say very hard to snap against this. Although I already struggled to snap against death or destroy if I don't have tech. Um, and I often don't have tech because I like playing combos. That's fun.
00:41:35
Speaker
Um,
00:41:39
Speaker
<unk> it It is intimidating like how much power they're holding in their hands, and you you don't really know. i mean, you could calculate how much it is, but you don't know the costs on those cards. like How much of it are they going to be able to lay down?
00:41:52
Speaker
So, yeah, he seems viable. He seems decent. i'm I'm not prepared to say he's good yet, um but i've seen I've seen positive reactions to him. Yeah, I feel like the thing to do is to try and be cute with him you know, where it could go off. Something like fire hair where it doesn't always happen, but like, you know, when it goes off, it can go off in a big way. feel like I saw someone doing something really cute with him and I was sitting here trying to remember what it was, but I didn't.
00:42:23
Speaker
I have seen people like they get the head pool and they destroy it a whole bunch of times, but they didn't ever get dead pool, and I still won. Head pool by himself is not good enough.
00:42:34
Speaker
It's not like every card in your deck has to carry it, but that was where I was like, I just don't know if he's enough. I don't know he justifies place in this very well established deck. In regular destroy. That's fair.
00:42:48
Speaker
i I still, I'm going to cling to that. I'm going to double down and say that people are putting him in regular destroy right now because that's the easy, obvious place to put him. But a few months from now, he's going to be in different decks, not in not in traditional destroy.
00:43:02
Speaker
Okay. Let's talk about Colonel America Series 5 and Zombie Power Man Series 4 at the same time, our discard cards. Colonel America's a 3-3 ongoing. Your other cards here have plus one power for each turn you've discarded a card.
00:43:20
Speaker
Zombie Power Man. Don't know why he's called Power Man instead of Luke Cage. 2-4. End of turn. If you're winning here, discard the leftmost card from your hand. Series 4.
00:43:33
Speaker
I have not seen these cards. I mean i saw one leg zombie giant man, but I was already crushing their Scarlet Witch so their horde wasn't super big.
00:43:44
Speaker
We're talking about Power Man. About all three, right? You read all of them. was saving giant man. Oh, my bad. That's okay. let's yeah I haven't seen very many giant men. I get confused all the time.
00:43:59
Speaker
ah I didn't. Yeah, no, I don't own them. I actually show notes. I was like, oh, I had this many. America and zombie power man like at all, which is like interesting because it's like the whole idea was like, oh, we'll have all these cards.
00:44:18
Speaker
So we'll like avoid the whole mirror thing. And we have broken it up where that it's like I've seen head pull decks or zombie Scarlet Witch decks. But these other three cards, it's just like people just pick out what they think would be the best or most fun and just kind of ditch the rest. It feels like.
00:44:34
Speaker
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised. I've seen a lot of Colonel America and zombie Power Man. Oh, really? A lot of discard both with and without them. Yeah.
00:44:43
Speaker
They both, and and I played with both of them a bunch. um I did not love them in my own attempts, both like an auto builder and like, I'm going to try to, I'm going to try to clean this up myself.
00:44:55
Speaker
I then took a cue from safety blade and made a couple minor changes. Like I wasn't running Dracula and apocalypse. I'm like, they seem contrary to the plans we're trying to do, but of course they're just good cards. I kind of think they're still contrary to the plans, but like they just made the deck better because they're better cards.
00:45:11
Speaker
um Which, Yeah, I still don't know if these guys are are great. They are good when they're doing the thing. Like, Zombie Power Man can get a lot of discards. Colonel America can get very big.
00:45:23
Speaker
But Colonel America, if you're not running Swarm, he's at odds with himself. Like, you want to be discarding lots of stuff and playing a lot of

Challenges with Colonel America and Zombie Power Man

00:45:30
Speaker
stuff. And those yeah things are contrary to each other. are filling that lane? Validated!
00:45:33
Speaker
but This is exactly what I said about Colonel America. Just saying. I don't remember what I said except for that I think he might bring back Swarm. And I haven't seen a lot of Swarm actually. And when I was playing with Swarm, I felt like my hands were too full.
00:45:46
Speaker
um But I was also playing with Strongman. So maybe i maybe I need to try Swarm, but no Strongman. Maybe that's the like... Strong guy? or Thank you. Yes, strong guy. Okay. Okay. um um Yeah, go ahead.
00:46:00
Speaker
Tell me about these. i have not played these cards. I like both of these cards. I'm rooting for them. They are on the list of new cards that aren't head pooled that I am snapping when I see. ah because general well not Not like always when I see these cards, but like, I don't know.
00:46:17
Speaker
i'm I'm playing a similar discard deck to whatever they're playing, and I just have more faith in my recipe than theirs, and it's mostly been working out for me. yeah um i do I do hope to experiment with these cards at some point. like i I want to believe, especially in Zombie Power Man, who I think is just a real neato design, although I do not love the if you're winning here part.
00:46:41
Speaker
ah ah Again, i wish to be the author of my own destiny. um But yeah, I don't know. that whatever Whatever people are doing with them doesn't seem scary to me, and it mostly seems to lose.
00:46:56
Speaker
Yeah, I would agree that regular just destroy without them, discard without them seems better. um I have seen a zombie power man eat a 12 power Konshu.
00:47:07
Speaker
hope That sucks for you. Okay, one more. Zombie giant man, five three on reveal, horde plus one. Then this gains power equal to your horde.
00:47:20
Speaker
Ben?
00:47:22
Speaker
I haven't seen this one. okay i have it i acquired it i preemptively already said my yeah all right haven't seen it um i also haven't seen it i played it a few times i um almost never wanted to play him how do you play it with only one other horde card and like how i almost never wanted to play him Eventually, you know there were i played i played I kept him in my deck long enough to where i was like, okay, I guess Giant Man's the right thing to do. He won one game for me, um and I just had happened to make a very large horde, and I don't think my opponent was expecting Giant Man because...
00:48:04
Speaker
nobody's playing him why would you though like yeah um he's unsupported yeah and i'm like now that i hit infinite i'm trying to think of like is there cool combo clips i can do with him like you know giant man on wong and then zola that's kind of cute those gets that that gets pretty big it adds a little bit to the horde but but panther's just better like Yeah.

Potential of Zombie Mr. Fantastic and Concept Designs

00:48:28
Speaker
The one I won with was a 510. So yeah, Panther would have been fine. i guess I guess he ended up being a 511 because he gave one to the Horde. um I just think it's impossible to evaluate this card on its own.
00:48:44
Speaker
It's just another... It's like you pair... It's a final turn pair with Kitty card, you know, is the way I see it. Because a lot of times when I'm playing Kitty Pride, I'm looking for... um you know, you don't want six cost cards um unless you're you've got a... You're cheating energy sometime. And so that's the way I see it. But yeah, it does feel like a lot of times... You're going to want to play it.
00:49:11
Speaker
When you're setting up... for Kitty Pryde and Scarlet Witch. Yeah. But I agree. He might actually be a real threat once there's a bunch more Horde cards going around. Um, we'll say, have not seen very much Shadow King at all, which we, you know, we were expecting. I mean, but why would we yet?
00:49:28
Speaker
but That's what I'm saying. There's, the yeah, the Horde is not a threat, so nobody's running it. Um... Okay, next week's card, a vibe check. Zombie Mr. Fantastic 2-2. On reveal, hoard 2.
00:49:40
Speaker
Activate, give four of your created cards, plus one power. I ended up marking it as the best card of the season in my Twitter rankings. i I don't know if that's going to end up being true, but he just seems good. He seems like a big stat stick. Yep.
00:49:55
Speaker
ye I'm moderately excited for him. I really don't like the zombies aesthetically, but I think this is a deck that i I think I will enjoy playing for more than a day.
00:50:09
Speaker
Could be. I don't have new thoughts. Whenever you said that string. On to our side quests. First up, but not only, Seeker Homework.
00:50:20
Speaker
I assigned it this week. It was to design a zombie card ah based on like a zombie version of a character that's already in the game. And like some of the zombie cards we got, not all of them, but like some of them make it a twist on the ability that that card has.
00:50:35
Speaker
So I did Zombie Quake. I thought to make her a 3-5. It seems like mostly the zombies have different costs to help distinguish them. But, you know, we saw how that went with Human Torch. So that's obviously not critical.
00:50:49
Speaker
um Anyway, Zombie Quake three five on reveal Horde 1. Then move your zombie horde to a different location. i did struggle to word it because there can be multiple hordes.
00:51:02
Speaker
But I think... In most situations, you only have one. And so players can just, you know, they can they can find out what happens, which is that all of your hordes will move to a different location.
00:51:15
Speaker
um So yeah, that's mine. I thought it might be good as a late game thing to get your horde out of the way.
00:51:25
Speaker
dodgeed some ah Dodge some tech or something. Or abandon a lane. Ben? I like it. think And I don't just like it because it's fairly similar to mine.
00:51:37
Speaker
Um, mine is zombie. Dr. Strange inspired by Dr. Strange in the multiverse of madness. Uh, not a great movie, but a watchable movie I will maintain as far as, uh, not great. Marvel's go. I, I find it to be straight up tolerable.
00:51:59
Speaker
Um, And i've I've seen it a shocking number of times, probably three plus. i I don't usually watch movies that I I mostly watch movies that I like like that many times. But for whatever reason, I don't know. I've just seen it several times. it just happened. i don't I can't explain it.
00:52:16
Speaker
Anywho, there's a point in the movie when Doctor Strange has to. you know, be a zombie Doctor Strange in a different multiverse. it's It's a whole thing. It's a major plot point.
00:52:29
Speaker
um Anyway, also, there are more zombies. And so I'm like, ah that there are some things about it that make some sense. But what is my does what what what does my zombie Doctor Strange do?
00:52:41
Speaker
I don't know. He's a 2-2. On reveal, horde 2. Then move all zombie hordes to this location. So I got the same... like stats as regular Doctor Strange 2-4. I mean, like it's a 2-2 body, but you hoard two, so it comes out to 2-4 and also does the move thing of standard Doctor Strange.
00:53:00
Speaker
And I also like that ah yeah you draw all the zombie hordes to this location, meaning like any if if you have successfully bounced cloned or or cloned or bounced or, you know, like if you've got multiple hordes on your side of the board, you grab them all together But also, if your opponent has any zombie hordes, you also grab those, and there's ah there's a... Oh, I didn't catch that. That's interesting. Yeah, there's there's lots of... It is cute with with the stuff that happens towards the end of the the Doctor Strange movie. um
00:53:36
Speaker
it it ah It all makes extra sense if you care to if you care to think about it. But again, just a wildly mediocre film, so don't... you don't have to but you know if if you want you can wildly mediocre is a very funny two word combo uh re oh i like your doctor okay a lot by the way thank you Yeah, and I like that you both addressed, you're like, what hordes need is to like move these zombies around. Gotta speed these zombies up.
00:54:11
Speaker
Also, I forgot to mention one thing about mine, and that's that like because of the way the horde mechanic works, you can always guarantee that like you will be moving that horde to Doctor Strange's location because you created it somewhere else. Okay, that's all. Sorry, Rhi.
00:54:26
Speaker
No, you're good. had forgotten. I know I thought of one... last podcast like pretty immediately and I'm pretty sure was something cool with the word ability and I cannot for life of me remember what it was so I did have think of a different one um and I went I just scrolled down and I was like Loki I like it I said just read like Thor today you know Loki in the brain And I thought what would be an interesting twist on Loki for a zombie Loki was what if on reveal, replace your deck with your opponent's starting deck.
00:55:06
Speaker
Instead give those cards minus one cost, it would be give those cards plus two power. Because they're dumber, but, you know, more powerful. Yeah. I thought it was an interesting trade-off.
00:55:21
Speaker
Right? Just to see how is that going to affect things. I don't know. Kind want to see. think paired with something like a Quinjet or something, I think I might prefer this.
00:55:34
Speaker
but Yeah, maybe it's too much. Minus two cost is pretty good too. Right, yeah, minus cost is good, and plus, like, it's like, you know, I didn't give it plus three power, because I knew that's, like, probably the tipping point of too much. Yeah, I think this is where they'd start it.
00:55:50
Speaker
Yeah. Yep. I think it's good design. Very fun and a good twist. Okay. Yeah, and I just want to show off my ink, Loki. Yes. It is a very nice Loki.
00:56:02
Speaker
And, okay, mine is because we I don't know about you guys. have always loved, Halloween. i'm kind of a wuss, like, I've been scared of the dark, like, my whole life.
00:56:16
Speaker
um But, like, I still have always loved Halloween. And I haven't, like, really celebrated it, to be honest, in a long time, much of anything.
00:56:27
Speaker
um and I used to at least watch, like, some spooky stuff, even though it's, like... Spooky stuff will linger. i have too much of an imagination. I'll scare myself with it. So it's not like when I watch it.
00:56:38
Speaker
That's scary, too. I get jump scared very easily. ah hate it. So I will watch and be very scared. But it's like afterward, depending how scary it is. It could be days to weeks that I will be like just walking around and it will be like in my head getting to me.
00:56:55
Speaker
For this reason, I especially like ghost stories. Not because I believe in ghosts, but for some reason that makes them scarier to me. But like I'll watch a lot of the old haunted. I used to watch a lot of the haunted house or like, um you know, historical scary ghost lady dramas. Anyway, so this...
00:57:17
Speaker
The point is, this week's secret homework is to share a recommend. And it doesn't have to be a movie or TV show. It could be a game. It could be an activity spooky season.
00:57:28
Speaker
It doesn't have to necessarily be scary, but it does have to be autumnal. That's secret homework. All right. Great. i My wife and child are... They love Halloween. It's their favorite season.
00:57:41
Speaker
Mine is Christmas. um Not that I'm against Halloween. I just... yeah anyway uh we we are on a rotation where each night we rotate who gets to pick the movie so um all right our other side quest we're gonna play finally the seventh edition of title tussle snap or cap i I have ah prepared this, I don't know, two or three weeks ago.
00:58:12
Speaker
So I'm sure it's left my head. But fortunately, I left the instructions right here. So if you haven't played before, ah we're actually going to use the same rules as last time. Is this progress? I think it might be the first time we've used the same rules twice in a row.
00:58:30
Speaker
i I think it worked well last time. so I think it did, too. Never understood the scoring that once. yeah That's fine. That's the thing. It's always been fine. That's my opinion.
00:58:41
Speaker
There are going to be and ah new titles added in the last two patches because we did not do one for the previous patch. um A set can have anywhere, maybe the last three patches, depending on how this lined up with...
00:58:53
Speaker
our delay anyway um i guess i wouldn't have used them for the newest my goodness uh a set can i have anywhere from zero to three real titles in it and you're supposed to guess which ones are the real ones which ones are the fake or you know snapper cap um i used a random list generator to arrange our 12 sets and then made one single swap to keep the numbers close to fair um so the weird sets could appear anywhere if there are any weird sets By that I mean the zeros and threes. Okay.
00:59:26
Speaker
The set is worth two points if you get it mostly right. Just like in Marvel Snap, you win the set if you get two of three locations. um And you can... And it's negative two if you get the set wrong.
00:59:38
Speaker
And you can snap to make it plus four or minus four. And then also you get one bonus point. Always exactly one bonus point for correct calls. Okay.
00:59:50
Speaker
per title no negative points on those guys okay that's mostly for me i think anyway here we go ah you guys have to decide who's first i don't remember who the ring is first did you uh that's interesting Well, I wonder who the listeners will perceive to have said it first.
01:00:17
Speaker
We'll find All right. I'll go first. I think I heard Reef first, but who knows? um Okay, Ben, here's your set. Get good.
01:00:29
Speaker
in for a bad time. Such a snappable face. Oh, my gosh. Is that an insult? That's an insult. It seems like an insult to me, yeah.
01:00:42
Speaker
Snappable. I'm gonna go... At the same time, wouldn't you be like, hey girl, let's snap on you. This sounds like not... But such snappable face. okay Fake real real. Okay, are you gonna snap on that?
01:00:59
Speaker
No. Okay, you crushed it. So that's ah that's a five pointer for you. um The fake one, get good, listener. Slancer. here's answerer Thanks, Flancer.
01:01:12
Speaker
Okay. here Rhi, here's your set. ah French by design. Never been to Canada. Snap like an Egyptian.
01:01:24
Speaker
and feel like French by design is a reference I'm not getting.
01:01:30
Speaker
No? Okay. This doesn't make sense. I'm also not getting it. I am unaware of such a reference. That's not to say that it isn't one. that make it... Do they reference real... Have they referenced real countries in place and in the titles before?
01:01:52
Speaker
Do you think... Oh, I don't want to but i do want to help. I do want to help. ah okay Do you suppose maybe it might be related to an Alpha Flight season? Because, you know, like I'm sure some of the members of Alpha Flight are French Canadian. Oh,
01:02:11
Speaker
And I'm seeing things that might be Alpha Flight related. i don't know. these these are the i That's just where my brain's... I might be leading you astray. Who even knows? I will follow Ben, but take responsibility for the choices that I've made.
01:02:27
Speaker
So if it is wrong, still be on my shoulders. Okay, I'm gonna real, real fake. Are you gonna snap on it? No. No.
01:02:39
Speaker
Okay, five points. We've got a tie game because you also crushed it. Snap like an Egyptian was. Oh, yay! Okay, Ben is actually... Ben is double crushing. I don't know about that.
01:02:51
Speaker
If you were going to take responsibility for it going poorly, i don't think I get to take credit for it going well. Okay. Ben, here is your set. Your pal for the next minute.
01:03:04
Speaker
We shouldn't, but we must. Firetruck! Vroom, vroom! Vroom!
01:03:12
Speaker
The third one seems like a Snap title. ah um Honestly, they all might be. ph who um ah I think that Marvel Snap games usually take more than a minute. That's what I think. um So that makes me but like does whoever writes the titles think that Marvel Snap games takes a minute? And when I say whoever writes the titles, I mean like whatever large language model.
01:03:42
Speaker
um hu
01:03:46
Speaker
So I guess I'm going to go you know what?
01:03:52
Speaker
I think none of these are good enough to have been made up by a listener. So I'm going to say real, real, real no snap. but Okay. That's it another five pointer. It's very good. wow. Wow.
01:04:05
Speaker
I think we should just let Ben see if he can roll it. um What's the bowling when you get all the things? 300. Really?
01:04:18
Speaker
The number? yeah um There's not a more interesting name for it? I mean, like, they're a perfect game. If you get three strikes in a row, that's a turkey, I believe.
01:04:28
Speaker
Yeah. why already hated bullying. Maybe that's what I was looking for. It's like, I already didn't like bullying aside from duck bin bullying, but knowing that they've just given things in numbers instead of fun names makes me hate it more. Well, 300 is your score in a perfect game. Anyway, here's your set rate. Clarice and Terry's handler.
01:04:48
Speaker
Wong's T hookup. Moon Knight's other, other personality.
01:04:55
Speaker
Okay, the last one. I'm glad you got the Moon Knight one. Is, uh, is fun. trying to think if that's like they actually hit on...
01:05:06
Speaker
A decent one because it does sound plausible or if it's too good and it's definitely made up. I want to be friends. um Clarice and Terry I'm struggling with. I do not know who that is referencing. I'll let you two decide if I'm allowed to tell you the reference if I know it.
01:05:26
Speaker
I had to look this one up.
01:05:31
Speaker
Okay. Well, that doesn't tell me could still be a fake one. No, I'm saying. I can tell you what it is if you want me to, and if Ben's okay with it, I can tell you what the reference is. Let's do it because it's more interesting. those are then i would't i would have told you afterwards, but I can tell you during.
01:05:46
Speaker
Those are the names that Star-Lord gave his guns. Hmm. Oh. Apparently.
01:05:57
Speaker
I think that one's fake, then.
01:06:00
Speaker
It feels like someone with some ah some knowledge. okay I bet it's real. You bet it's real. But Ben's been doing so well. That's not points. That's just me thinking thoughts.
01:06:16
Speaker
Okay, we'll go with our first instinct. Real. real This is the debatable one Snap doesn't usually make me like slight chuckle.
01:06:28
Speaker
So I'm going to go It's true. Okay. Are you going snap on it?
01:06:34
Speaker
No. Okay. That will be a negative one point. ah You swapped the first um Yeah. Good. You didn't snap. Clarice and Terry's handler is real.
01:06:46
Speaker
I made up the other two. I should have listened to the Ben on my shoulder. But good call on the one that made you kind chuckle being fake. I want a shoulder bend in a shoulder line. know. I wish I were available in that form.
01:07:03
Speaker
Chibi. Chibi's adorable. ah Exactly. But which one of us is rocking the horns and which one's rocking the halo? Oh, I don't i don't know.
01:07:15
Speaker
That's like a dichotomy that doesn't exist. I don't believe in duality. Yeah, think that's false. I don't know. It's a non-binary solution to the answer. You each appear in various forms according to your moods.
01:07:29
Speaker
So sometimes it's it's Surfer Ben, you know? and sometimes it's Valkyrie Lauren, you know? Warrior-esque. Couraging me to stab people with swords.
01:07:40
Speaker
As I so often do. Right. Raining Miss Nowhere. it's for me. Oh, Ben. Good catch. Thank you. Raining. It's the same set, though.
01:07:51
Speaker
Raining Miss Nowhere. Pharaoh. Next stall neighbor. Wow. OK, well. um
01:08:06
Speaker
I am going to go.
01:08:10
Speaker
Real, real, real. No snap.
01:08:14
Speaker
Okay, that would be, i believe, a four-pointer. because you Which one was fake? Just one. Next, Stall Neighbor was given by Flamster. It might be a little too clever. yeah know how much you love toilet humor in the title. so like like There's definitely at least one about playing on the toilet, one real title, but I was like, yeah yeah a little this one's there's a precedent for this, but it is a little too clever to be real. and I should have followed that that instinct. Oh, well.
01:08:44
Speaker
Good for Flamster, though. I mean, you're so right. Like, Reigning Miss Nowhere, it's not funny. It means nothing. Like, it's, like, moderately cute. Like, there are connections being made, but they're, like, it's not delightful in any way.
01:08:58
Speaker
yeah they said They said the name of a Marvel place, but it has, like... and There's no, like, deeper or more, like, appropriate... Like, none of it, like, adds up further than that. Yeah.
01:09:09
Speaker
Yeah, it's ah level one. Anyway, I don't know if I said Next All Labor was from Flamester. Here is your set, Rhi. On a spiritual retreat, mysteriouser and mysteriouser, and my ghostly mentor.
01:09:26
Speaker
Oh, man.
01:09:31
Speaker
I am saying want to say they're all real again. That's what.
01:09:41
Speaker
If there's one that's fake, I feel like maybe it's the last one. So. um Let's go all real and we'll snap because I'm behind.
01:09:54
Speaker
Brutal, you missed every single one.
01:10:00
Speaker
They're all fake. The first one was from Flamster. The next two were from me. i don't know if it's come up on the show before, but I love Alice in Wonderland, which is what I'm referencing with Mysteriouser and Mysteriouser.
01:10:12
Speaker
ah Yeah, yeah. I'm getting worse and worse at this game. And the and third one is an Agatha all along reference. you Haven't you won like five out of six times? Yeah, but I feel like i kind of i might I might be due to win one.
01:10:28
Speaker
i think maybe I've won one in the past. This could be my downfall. laugh than with conspiracy strings just like yeah I believe it's real anymore.
01:10:39
Speaker
I bet Ree pulls it out because I tend to implode at the end. Well, you each get three more, so it is possible. But, you know, maybe if Ben plays cautiously, and don't know. Okay.
01:10:52
Speaker
Ben, maximally invasive. Yippee-ki-yay, Marvel snapper. My top deck can beat up yours.
01:11:05
Speaker
the The average quality of these is a little too high. They're not all real, that's for sure. ah But the question is, is maybe one of them real? ah Or I can just try to win the set and say fake, fake, fake. Let me think.
01:11:23
Speaker
Maximilian Bases, Yippee-Ki-Yay, Marble Snapper. hope that one's not real. My top deck can beat up yours. I feel like maybe there's already a yippee-ki-yay in the titles.
01:11:34
Speaker
I think there might be. I might be wrong about that. um I'm going
01:11:44
Speaker
real, fake, fake.
01:11:52
Speaker
Snapping? No. Okay. ah You got two-thirds correct, so that's a four-pointer. um they're all fake they're all fake i should have followed my heart maximally invasives from iron cloak yippee-ki-yays from mod supreme models our dm our magic magic master um and my top deck can beat up yours is ah lauren original here you go re out of my vat okay am i wrong is it not yours
01:12:26
Speaker
No, you're right. Sorry. Go ahead. Okay. Trying really hard to keep track because I messed it up once and that's embarrassing. Out of my vat, Gamma Lab Rat, I'm going to try science.
01:12:40
Speaker
It was just great to say because you mentioned Iron Cloak. Funny story. They were one of the few. I don't run into a lot of people that recognize me. Ran into Iron Cloak on ladder.
01:12:50
Speaker
And I'm sitting there. Okay. Because like and I'm like the name is so familiar. But I was convinced it must be from a fantasy novel I've read. And I've read so many. I'm like who are the Iron Cloaks? Who are the Iron Cloaks?
01:13:03
Speaker
And because I'm sitting so long trying to think of the reference, the fantasy reference, I'm sure, which is why the name seems so familiar, the Spider-Man pointed me, which is where I like finally realized, because normally I was just like, your cool name, if you're listening, Iron Cloak.
01:13:23
Speaker
Anyway, and then then we, I forget who won. think it was me. Anyway. I also have run into Iron Cloak on ladder and they won. I retreated for one cube.
01:13:36
Speaker
i don't remember. It could be erroneously. Good luck collecting all of us because yeah my MMR is garbage. From all the silliest shit I do.
01:13:49
Speaker
um I'm going to try science.
01:13:54
Speaker
That's almost too good. would guess that title. Yeah. Oh, man. So recently, so, you know, Doom took every over everything. Okay, sorry, we're not doing Comics Corner Focus 3. Okay, so everything makes me think... You could do a quick tangent if you want to. Doom took over everything, and it is very it's is written by Ryan North, and it's one of those that feels like in some ways too relevant. But, like... and Uh, you know, but it's such a good at the at the beginning first, it seems like he's doing all these good things. Why do the Avengers want to he's only using his power for good. And then like, you know, and he keeps saying Doom will save you. And it's this kind of whole fight.
01:14:34
Speaker
But then they get they're coming towards the end of of the this crossover event.

Doom's Ambitions and Power Dynamics

01:14:41
Speaker
It's a couple issues in and of course it gets and they framed it a perfect way.
01:14:46
Speaker
Doom was looking for glory. Failing at that, did what all villains do, which is settle for power instead. And it was like, yes, all the grand arguments he made about looking for glory, about helping everyone.
01:15:04
Speaker
Right. But it's like once once you can't be once you can't be the the godlike figure you want to be, then then you just take power. Anyway,
01:15:17
Speaker
And the thing is, Doom has been right. The reason Doom can control everything is because, um as you may recall from previous Common Corners, ah the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange gave him up his power.
01:15:32
Speaker
for the last crossover event. And, you know, and then he fucked off to Asgard to try and become someone else's. I feel so bad at this job. Let me try uh, move somewhere and take it.
01:15:44
Speaker
Uh, get, get a job somewhere Anyway. But, uh, in the, in the latest issue, at least that I've read, um read, right. Who of course is the fantastic for it. They've been looking this whole time.
01:16:01
Speaker
ah to like, you know, how how can I take him down? Even tries to just convince him with arguments because good people. um used to be like, why? They never will. But it's like, I don't know. I think if you're a good person, you always try to reason with someone first.
01:16:18
Speaker
But what he did in this last issue, he's like, this is so fresh. Magic is so frustrating to me. I'm a scientist. um And I can't like, you know, you've been you've been attacking me with stuff and I can't understand um And so when he shows up this time, almost didn't recognize him at first, Reed. He's like, but you don't understand. Ever since I've learned here, I've been working on a new science.
01:16:43
Speaker
And you're like, a plot of course it's Reed. So he made a science of magic. And he's like, and now you face the Scientist Supreme. and then they have a huge battle as the Sorcerer Supreme versus the Scientist Supreme.
01:16:56
Speaker
Oh, wow. I can't wait for Scientist Supreme, Mr. Fantastic, to come to Marvel Snap. exciting.
01:17:04
Speaker
Okay.
01:17:08
Speaker
So I'm going to try science. I'm enjoying it too much, so I'm going to say it's fake. um Gamma labra sounds real. of my vat?
01:17:23
Speaker
Real.
01:17:26
Speaker
I'll snap because I'm so far behind a camera. Okay. Oh, you don't have to do that. Tight! The jire's been cast. We have crushed. The Rubicon? Rubicon?
01:17:41
Speaker
um It is the Rubicon. was like, don't have fucked that up, Bree. Okay. You're right. those two Those two phrases are related somehow. um Out of my vet is real Gamma Labrat from Iron Cloak.
01:17:51
Speaker
Wait, do you not know the origin of those phrases? I have looked them up before multiple times, but I believe they're both related to ancient Rome.
01:18:02
Speaker
um Certainly the Rubiconos. Anyway. Am I wrong? think you might wrong. I said I'm so distracted today. Okay.
01:18:17
Speaker
okay Okay, cross Rubicon. I swear it's Rome. The Rubicon's in Italy. Julius Caesar, that's Rome, right? Yeah, you're right. Okay.
01:18:30
Speaker
The die is cast, I think, has to do with like metal, nott not rolling dice. It's not that you rolled it. it's that Yeah, that's the thing.
01:18:41
Speaker
I like etymology, but also like stuff just leaves my brain so fast. Anyway, um I believe it's Ben's turn. turn Friendly neighborhood snapper.
01:18:51
Speaker
Webshop shoplifter. Your canon event. ah
01:18:59
Speaker
Wow. OK, well, I'm sure we've had some other friendly neighborhood titles, ah but that doesn't mean we wouldn't have another one. Right. Like just just because there's already one friendly neighborhood title in the game doesn't mean they're not. They definitely have recycled jokes more than once.
01:19:18
Speaker
Jokes. Yeah. Jokes. Sure. Sure. That's what they're recycling. um I'm going to go, you know. These all seem kind of plausible.
01:19:33
Speaker
i feel like the second one is the least likely to be real, but still might be real. But I'm going to go real fake real. No snap. OK, you got them all wrong.
01:19:46
Speaker
So no snap was a very good call. um I yeah, Web Shop Shoplifter is ah I don't know why that's a real title, but it is. The other two are from models. Thanks, models. Well done, models.
01:19:59
Speaker
ah You're a great team. I think I only had three or four people ah contribute, so I appreciate all those. A lot. Thank you, contributors.

Game Predictions and Humorous Banter

01:20:11
Speaker
Rhi! I hate sand. Denied the rank of infinite. Snap or snap not. There is no try. i didn't and then do the Yoda. I'm sorry.
01:20:23
Speaker
I did last time we had a Yoda reference.
01:20:29
Speaker
Denied the rank of infinite is... That was good. It's too clever. I think that one has to be fake. okay The others are of similar referential, you know, quality level. And
01:20:51
Speaker
maybe want say Snap or Snap. Snap or Snap, that could be the the third one Lauren thought of to fill in the selection. Okay.
01:21:05
Speaker
I don't know. I'm going all fake and I'm snapping because it's too late for me to catch up. I have a prediction specifically about the fakeness. I but believe at least the first one was submitted by Wombat Combat. That's my bet.
01:21:19
Speaker
I don't think I got any from Wombat this time. i Okay. You snapped. You won the set. You got two right. That's a six-pointer. I think that's the biggest... That's the best I've done on game. Well done. Except for the one that Ben like...
01:21:34
Speaker
I mean, Ben has gotten all three correct, but I don't think he snapped on that. oh yeah I've never had the confidence. yeah um I hate sand as the is the real one.
01:21:45
Speaker
That's the real one? should have guessed that was the real know the one that combat is down to laugh about the I hate sand bit. Yeah, the other two are from Iron Cloak. Well done, Iron Cloak. Because of the I hate sand one being real.
01:22:00
Speaker
Right? I like the denied the rank of infinite. That was way too clever to have been a real title. Good job of that one. It hasn't exactly come through because, I mean, there was Pharaoh. hasn't exactly come through because of the ones that I've given so far, but there were quite a few related to ancient Egypt.
01:22:16
Speaker
I would expect like February or March is going to be an apocalypse season. Yeah. yeah I think that's probably going to be February or March after dragons. um Okay.
01:22:27
Speaker
Speaking of, Ben. Horseman of procrastination. The equestrian of elocution. Or the jockey of just getting by. Well, like, I don't know what elocution has to do with Marvel Snap is the thing.
01:22:47
Speaker
um I mean, like, I feel like procrastination is much more on brand for these these titles being like, I don't have my shit together. I'm a little baby. ah You know, ah same with Jockey of just getting by.
01:23:03
Speaker
ah so I'm going to go real fake real. Actually, you know what? No, I'm going real fake fake. No snap. Okay, that is ah another five pointer for you.
01:23:17
Speaker
You got them all right. You got to start snapping on these. i
01:23:25
Speaker
um i don't think it's possible for you to win this, Rhi. know. This will be just for fun, I guess. Here's your set. Bursting with umami.
01:23:37
Speaker
Looking cute in gingham. Rehearsing public apology.
01:23:49
Speaker
Is gingham a reference to a Marvel thing I'm not getting? See, that's what I'm wondering. I know the fabric, but I'm like, I don't relate it with a character. i don't know whose signature textile that is.
01:24:06
Speaker
Okay, I'm going to say it's fake then Maybe it's a reference from someone with... Comic knowledge I don't possess currently. Okay.
01:24:16
Speaker
Bursting with Umami. like, love, you know, obviously I love flavor and stuff, but there's something so gross sounding about this title. It's like not the way i want to think of a person, I guess.
01:24:28
Speaker
So like, um, I'm going to say that's real And then rehearsing public apology also sounds real. That's what we're going with. And we're snapping because, you know, that's the whole thing about being way behind is you get a snap consequence free.
01:24:45
Speaker
That's another six pointer. a Looking cute and gingham is also real. Oh, it is real. I have no idea what the reference is. Anyway, our thanks for playing my game.

Speaker
Title Tussle 7, Snapper Re-finished with nine points. Nice job. You crawled out of your negative score. ah And Ben ended with 21. That's another victory for It's like a tennis score, right? Isn't that how you win tennis?
01:25:18
Speaker
Yeah, something like that. 21 is table tennis. Bowling? Tennis? I know. know that there are some games. It's not just Blackjack where 21 is special.

01:27:05
Speaker
I haven't either. It's not great. One the ones see a lot that is always an instant mute, besides kind of a jerk and other things, that I'm outside your house.
01:27:20
Speaker
That one's so gross. In the same vein, it seems like a threat, right? Yeah, and it's like, some people have experienced stuff where it's just not... That that kind of threat is just slightly... Not in such a bad way, like, oh, I'm going to start playing Snap now, but it's just like...
01:27:36
Speaker
If you're the kind of person that picked this title, like it. don't know. I'm just saying, if you have picked that title um you haven't thought how people might receive it, might have had certain experiences in their life, then, like, you know, maybe think about it.
01:27:49
Speaker
would be willing to bet that Second Dinner doesn't have a sensitivity reader. Nope. Throwing it out there. Oh, They don't have enough, you know, QA and coders and everything else that they need, to be honest. So...
01:28:03
Speaker
um Oh, and if any if we want to end on a positive note. um Of course. don't know if you guys remember about rave showers. Yes. Where I have a... Okay, I do have For some odd reason, instead of vent over my shower, I have a light bulb, which a smart light now. I've seen that.
01:28:24
Speaker
And Philips Hue you know, they have all these lightscapes. And it's not just light. It's like it can be light, but then it can play through different lights. And they came out with all this spooky collection. And last time I was taking shower, I'm like, ooh, I'll put a spooky one.
01:28:37
Speaker
Yeah. And then the thing is, once you've locked in, you know, you're in the shower and you can't change it. And then realized quickly being spooky in shower is someone who has definitely seen Psycho.
01:28:48
Speaker
He was taking college courses on Hitchcock. Oh, this is not good. I don't like this. It was a late night shower, too.
01:28:59
Speaker
It's like a preset. It's like a preset pattern. Yes, so it'll scroll through different colors. Flashing red or it's... Well, there's multiple. can't think of what the spooky colors are.
01:29:11
Speaker
This was spellbound. was these greens and purples. Nice. And was flashing between them really fast.
01:29:21
Speaker
And it was very easy. Oh, no. At first I was like, oh, I'm going to be more in the show. Because I can get pretty paranoid sometimes. Then I looked down my skin was green.
01:29:35
Speaker
It was so cool. I'm Kimura. I don't know if she was taking a bit yet. So a cool roller coaster of emotions. But i will say, if you get the opportunity to stall and stall smartly in your bathroom.
01:29:51
Speaker
I do it as fun. That sounds fun. Okay, I'm just saying. I don't know. You have nothing to apologize for. Nothing to apologize for.
