Gonna spend last half hour in Sanctum playing random decks. First up : looks bad!

I would adhere as much as I was able to: a) the MCU schedule b) the Marvel Comics schedule, but I would also c) Wrap it all in nostalgia, and also d) keep story and lore forefront. Below is a year of season themes for 2026 w/ details to follow. 🧵

Another week where Snap Judgments is YouTube only. Sigh I don’t know the effort & economics behind why some creators choose to not put out their mostly talking shows out on podcasts but as a consumer I can definitely say not doing so leads me to interact with all your content less

Fortnight Round-Up! Zombie Power-Man! Statted high (sorry Colleen!) everyone is convinced he's good but the stats say nope. Really a hard card to build around as deciding WHEN you discard is kind of important. But still - no effort actions are powerful. Will Weapon H make his deck work?

Fortnight Follow-Up : Colonel America! Did he technically work like we thought? Yes, no surprises Did he strategically work like we thought? Yes, he's a discard card and one that's possibly underrated though probably not since he goes against my core belief.

Fortnight Follow-Up : Zombie Scarlet Witch! ZSW! Zombie Shoe Warehouse! Did she technically work like we thought? Yes, though there was a minor question on whether she'd create her own hoard (she doesn't) Did she strategically work like we thought? Mostly - Kitty/Elsa and Merlin/Wolf Horde decks

Want two emotes (Ultron and Capt Marvel). Ultron came up but at the literal one time I didn’t have the charms to buy it. Let’s see if he ever comes back. Been two days of no

They replaced my emote in the Sanctum shop with the same emote. Come on man

So Horde play fact : If there is no Horde on the field a played card will create a new one. So you can bounce a Horde, play a Horde creator, then play the other Horde to get two in play BUT If the Horde is played with the Horde creator EVEN IF UNREVEALED the creator will simply buff the Horde.

OTA Stream o' Conciousness ZSW 3/4 ZGM 5/4 and Horde +2 instead of +1 Basically admitted they were playing "full Horde" and piecemeal the deck stinks. Will that mean in two weeks Horde gets some de-buffs? I guess so but there isn't an easy solution here other than dump all them to start.

"Zombies have taken over the OTA machine and arrrrgh!" "Zombies like braaaiins. Zombies buff all big braaaaaaains" Leader 6/8 Mr. F 3/4 Iron Man 5/3 Prodigy 3/6 Sage 3/5

I've said before I think each OTA should include at least one "new toy". This is a change that does one of the following to an existing card : - increases by 2+ power - decreases by 1+ cost - reworks w/ a new ability Rather than meta balance these changes are about bringing life to underused cards

FWIW - Sanctum is my favorite LTG mode. I enjoy playing basically a different game for a week and exploring the ways it works.

Finally found a use for my gold. Quick Pass.

I like how SD was like "we have characters for years" and is like "how about all the same characters... but zombies!". We're getting Wolverine : Weapon X, Deadpool : pre-Deadpool, Shang-Chi now w/ Rings! I assumed they'd pull from the vast library instead of "Daredevil but in his yellow costume!"

Here’s the Ultimate Guide to Sanctum Showdown 3! Okay, mostly just the economy stuff. Most importantly — I’ll help you decide whether or not you should buy the Premium Event Pass! 1/🧵⤵️

Ok this was the craziest set of draws I’ve seen for two people doing hammer stuff post-Infinite. He didn’t draw Thor but Lockjaw pulled it for him off a GrandMaster. I didn’t draw Jane but Lockjaw pulled it for me off a Spider-Ham. He’s playing my Odin he got from White Palace (instead of Giganto)

Sanctum starts today. Banned list got some important updates Added : Cull Obsidian Gamora Rocket Raccoon Surtur Werewolf By Night Still Banned : Kang? Assumed he'd be no different than Agent 13, Hulkling, etc in not being able to generate the wrong cards here but Kang is always trouble I guess

So looking at the patch November : Punk Spider & Friends December : Weapon X January : Shang 2 : Electric Dragonloo Guesses : Feb : Horseymen of the Apocalypse March : Daredevil : Born Again 2nd season premiere tie -in guessing Mar : Stick, Night Nurse, The Owl, Swordsman

New cards are interesting. I'm not sure about the tuning but it seems like aiming for a Destroy AND Discard deck. So the idea would be 3+ destroyers, 3+ discarders and 3+ cards that want or are ok with both... I'm still not sure it won't just default one way or other

First time since the actual first time.

My hot take on splits is while you want Krackle and you want Ink, Gold is just thrown in with these guys as desirable because it was desirable before and really it's not any better than a bunch of other different backgrounds.

Just play a game or two and get this last Fill location bounty out of the way (5 games later not drawing Ultron at all and drawing Shanna once) GODDAMMIT

Fortnight Follow-Up : Jocasta! Did she technically work like we thought? Yes, though counting up the doubling that happens when you Jocasta a Jocasta can get tricky. Did she strategically work like we thought? Unfortunately yes. There are a world of activates but she's an EOT card

Would love to hear from you! A @marvelsnap.bsky.social question & a 🎃 Halloween question! All responses read on tomorrow’s pod in the request ☎️ section! Thanks for listening and replies!

What a damn way to make infinite. Knew they had to go Mystique left and math’d out the tie there. Then quick math on the right said I’d go over easy. But forgot about the Lasher. Ended up a 1pt squeaker. Yikes.

Last Week Welcome Round-Up! Welcome Headpool! 1/1 - when destroyed returns to hand and give all cards there +1 power. Like all cards that want to be destroyed it fits into a Destroy deck. It gives Destroy more power than you'd think bc Destroy multiplies itself with Knull & Venom.

Was just going to fill location and go but this guy was running a Clog Counter deck and I was like I can't let that go.

Finally (ok only a day off my desired pace but still I desire that pace!)

I'm sorry for what is about to happen. You cannot expect me to be carrying Echo in this deck

Early OTA Thread : Ongoing list of changes as I play I think should happen and why Gambit 3/1 Theory: trade a discard (bad!) for the chance to hit something impt (good!). Reality : deck doesn't mind discard. As long as he hits something more valuable than 2 power he's above rate. Too strong

Sorry man. Two 60s should really win you the game. Again it’s gotten stupid out there.

Reminder no OTA today - 3 weeks between them this time because last season was 5 weeks

#snaptober2025 - Dazzler, Days 6-8

So as expected Zombie Hand wasn't great. ZSW not creating her own Horde On-Reveal means you gotta either include Wasp/YJ in the deck or do it on t5 with Bastion which is just too late. On to try the more intersting WWBN / Angela Kitty Elsa stuff. I'm a bit more enthused about that

I'll be honest - I don't think the physics behind Headpool's propeller hat were well thought out.

Satisfactory ending.

"Welcome, Zombie Scarlet Witch!" or "Really. The ENTIRE Marvel Universe at your disposal and the main bad guy is... Scarlet Witch" "Well Wolverine and Deadpool were taken!" 3/2 Horde +2 when a card is played here. Will ZSW breathe new life into the meta, or will she lack the magic?

WEB SHOP! WEB SHOP! WEB SHOP! Make sure you update the game THEN go the shop!

If you're getting a season pass today, be sure to get it from the webshop!

So will end with around 54k This suggests I’m right that 1) the slow bleed is real, even buying the super secret premium ultra pass 2) if you do buy it the bleed is SLOOOOW. Not only is it like 27 mo until token zero but then I can convert all the gold. 4+ years collection complete seems likely

I’d say good game @bullseye-qwerty.bsky.social but that was just a battle of trash draws. Sadly my t3 Chavez beat out your non-activating Wiccan in trash though

Fornight Follow-Up : Warlock! Did he technically work like we thought? Yes Did he strategically work like we thought? Yes, although the idea of floating energy for a bigger payoff turned out to still not be viable.

I do not appreciate your ruse. Your cunning attempt to trick me

MARVEL SNAP GOLDEN GAUNTLET WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND PRIZE ANNOUNCEMENT!!! I'm proud to have announced this on our podcast, the Marvel Snapcast, on SuperTechGod's channel!

His last play was Mystique copying Gorr into Taskmaster for 46 pts on the right lane. Unfortunately my last play was a 15 power Brood into a Capt Carter lane followed by Surfer for a 67 pt play on that lane This game has gotten stupid.

Ok landed here and here for my no s4/s5 HV decks.
