Finally got Shuri and Black Panther in reserves, which closes out Pool 3. Switched back to my Destroy deck recently, and it's pretty reliable, but loosing the fun a bit, I really should try out some more decks now I have more full sets.

Aye, been mainly playing destroy lately and not feeling the draw of a quick game after I've exhausted daily missions.
Time to switch it up a bit I guess.
Stegosaurus man does look like it could be fun in a troll deck, but sadly I've got nowhere near enough tokens for him.

I've got a bunch of reserves to open but I can't until a P4 card that I like cycles around. I'll only end up opening tokens and losing them to the cap. Sat at 9700

Just had a game where my opponent played green goblin on turn 3 and gave the Ms marvel toxic thumbs up, like it was an amazing play.
Turn 5 they played Hazmat and Luke Cage, then on turn 6 they played America Chavez.
I had enough points with Ultron, Patriot and Kazar to win the match and spammed a Ms Marvel of my own. It was very satisfying.

Shop refreshed, bought Modok and then opened them all. Got Valkyrie, Knull and another 800 tokens back.
Result! P3 is officially completed and 6 left in P4

I've been playing a lot of Modok recently - felt a bit disappointing in a Hela deck, but works well in Dracula/Apoc and it's great in a Wong discard deck.

Can be great with spawn as well. You can end up with loads of 0 cost cards to fill in any gaps.

The first OTA weekly balance updates are live:
April 27th - OTA Balance Updates
Welcome to the new world of regular balance updates using OTA! OTA stands for ‘Over-the-Air,’ which means we can change the game without a big download. We’re making four changes today to freshen up the game balance, let’s dive right in:
## Shanna [Old] 4/2 – On Reveal: Add a random 1-Cost card to each location. [New] 4/4 – On Reveal: Add a random 1-Cost card to each location. Shanna has fallen a bit flat since release. Even during the height of Zabu’s might, she was a low-performing 4-Cost card and we’d like to give her a better chance to shine. This buff is simple, but highlights that Shanna wasn’t being appropriately compensated for needing four available slots to hit her ceiling. In general, cards and decks that fill many slots early are safer to make strong, since there’s plenty of game left to react or retreat and their ability to gain cubes is impeded. This is especially true in Shanna’s case, where the randomness and the existence of cards like Killmonger makes her a bit riskier. Hopefully this additional Power is enough.
## Lizard [Old] 2/5 – Ongoing: -3 Power if your opponent has 4 cards here. [New] 2/5 – Ongoing: -4 Power if your opponent has 4 cards here. When one card becomes a clear outlier on play rate because it’s playable in a huge number of decks, that’s something we flag and keep an eye on. That doesn’t mean we always take action–it’s important for us to keep in mind that the Series structure can serve to make cards appear overplayed when they’re actually just widely available. However, when we have a clear top card for the Cost and can slice a little bit of strength away from it without necessarily dethroning it, that’s largely a solid change for us to make. So that’s what’s happening here, with arguably the softest nerf we’ve ever made.
## Sandman [Old] 5/5 – Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn. [New] 5/3 – Ongoing: Players can only play 1 card a turn. Since Sandman’s change from 4/1 to 5/5, we’ve seen him become a foundational piece of an Electro-based strategy that slows down the opponent and makes his effect feel asymmetrical by contesting multiple lanes with Dr. Doom or just some heavy hitters. That’s certainly the deck we expected to see, but it’s become more popular than we’d like. This tap on the main man makes him a less competitive source of Power, giving added edge to players committing cards early and making the endgame choices of each player more likely to ultimately determine the outcome of the game.
## Enchantress [Old] 4/4 – On Reveal: Remove the abilities from all Ongoing cards at this location. [New] 4/6 – On Reveal: Remove the abilities from all Ongoing cards at this location. It’s been particularly telling to us that in a world where Armor, Patriot, Darkhawk, Devil Dinosaur, Sandman, Blue Marvel, and even Knull are major players that Enchantress is a poor performer on both popularity and actual winning. There are mitigating factors, of course–Energy curves, priority battles, and so forth. But ultimately, she’s not functioning as a solid counter for Ongoing cards, especially the symmetrical ones that Rogue can’t interact with. Hopefully, this change lets her contest locations in addition to neutralizing major Power problems like Darkhawk or reclaiming a big turn 6 from an early Sandman.

Oooh, Thanos appeared in my Token Shop. Is that a worthwhile Big Bad deck in the making or are there more enjoyable Series 5 options to go for?

Thanos is good fun and is unique, he's taken a bit of a hit recently but suggestions he will be back.
He will never go below 6k, so if you fancy a new way of playing you can't go wrong.

I was sure I'd seen Snapster have like 27k at one point but after somebody mentioned a 10k cap I tried looking but I could never find another video of their shop. Naturally I didn't want to test it out and lose tokens. However I stumbled over one of his longform vods and he has 17.1k youtu.be/JhZG0uSSe0Q 2:20ish

Hmmm strange, I was sure that I got some in a reserve that would have brought me over 10k.
Sorry for sending people down the wrong path!

I've definitely had over 10K - especially when I bought the Season Pass very late on one month. I was too scared to risk it though and spent down to back under the limit.

These incoming cards are nuts.
I fully misunderstood the text for Nebula to be a one and done like the other guardian cards and as soon as they played a card then it was over. It's an continous card forcing the opponent to play cards to that lane to stop her growing allowing you to keep dropping other guardian cards in that lane and buffing them.

I'm veering towards just playing it at weekends now, so that I'm not wasting effort when all of the daily missions haven't unlocked yet.

I started playing this the other day No idea if I'm playing it right, but it's quite addictive. I'm reading through this thread and have no idea what's being said, so I guess I have a lot to pick up.

In variant-relayed talk I got a Black Bolt variant in a collectors reserve a few days ago, and it's gorgeous.
Lockjaw is in the background behind him and it looks like a painting. If I can squeeze him into a deck, I will.
