I’m a better player after listening to this episode! Good stuff @scosco.bsky.social @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social and of course Roram 👏🏽 youtu.be/D9kCXibA0LY?...

Ended up redownloading after all to see what PHoP was all about. Went from 89 to Infinite (after testing a dozen other stuff), finished right before the hot location hit. Whew.

Deleted Snap about a week ago, thinking I’d re-download for Polaris Pestilence but… idk maybe I won’t? 🤔

I miss Snap when playing Doctor Doom on T6 for a casual 15 power felt OP.

Whoa, these are fun!!

It is time! Few will read this full thread but this is the everything you can learn from my historic rank this season and what it really demonstrates. Regardless of the salt throwers, I am rank 1! Will be a mix of lessons about the systems that make up ranked ladder and gameplay. ENJOY! 🧵

Had a tough time figuring out the meta after the OTA and couldn’t string together any wins. Then I picked this deck back up for the first time in a while! Positioned pretty well in a not-so-interactive and very Dagger-friendly meta.

Nice.

Best OTA ever apparently because 3-power Pixie makes C3 fun again! Pixie and Valk bring back surprise to what I think has been a more boring C3 list. 150sp since the OTA.

I tried a Firehair and Misery package which has been a lot better! Devastated to say though that I’m using SunLord in the 12th slot 😭 but you can put something else there if you are more principled than me.

I’ve been having fun with this.

Quickest infinite in a few seasons for me. Yeah, I’m still playing Red Wing. Had War Jugg and Chamber most of the climb, but the EOTs were too rampant, so RG and DC came in.

😐

Got to chat with @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social and @scosco.bsky.social on Fourth Location’s Series Six about the idea of mastering an archetype (or what you can get out of putting in a lot of reps with one deck). Thanks for having me! youtu.be/d3AyP7Vfi20?...

Thanks for the feature @scosco.bsky.social ! I’ve also been trying this list minus Dagger, Topaz and plus Magik, Web Sling, to go all in on Johnny. It’s a pocket meta call. Core plan the same. Giant Torches 🔥

Hadn’t played any Conquest til yesterday, but we took a gold ticket from a cache to an infinity avatar on the first (lucky) run! Also started Infinity Conquest matches 1, 2,3, and 4 with 8 cube wins 😅 Deck’s nothing new, but new Topaz is great!

A legend 💔 Rest in peace, Kai.

Hit Infinite! (#32)🔥 Having a blast with Foom. Strongest: @safetyblade.bsky.social Dragon Strength Tape. Easy to get 8+ energy with Hope and Merlin. Funnest: @thursdaysnap.bsky.social Titan Roulette (highroll). 5 big hits and 6 different ways to cheat them out. @snapdecks.bsky.social

Watch this and instantly become a better Snap player! Fantastic stuff from @scosco.bsky.social @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social and guest @safetyblade.bsky.social 👏🏽

Got Elsa a fancy border! Somehow won 8-cubers in 4 out of 5 matches.

Excited for this from @scosco.bsky.social and @laurenwhatevs.bsky.social !!!

Been cutting back on Snap—cuz life and cuz the game just hasn’t been much fun for me lately; first time skipping on Season Pass since MODOK! But here’s my late infinite. Derped around with a lot of silly lists until I decided I wanted to climb with Red Wing, so I did! 🐦

Here’s all you need to know about playing Grand Arena!

lol I was very wrong. Panther is the best.

Committed to this niche bit for 30 days Happy VIP day @vicmmic.bsky.social !

Ultimate Torch got me to mastery 🔥

I did the thing too!

💚

Haven't been loving Snap lately. Opened MTG Arena for the first time in over a year. Playing some Timeless BO1, Mono Red Burn. Used to play a ton of Modern Burn; feels like being reunited with some dear friends 🥰

Infinity ticket! Finally cooked something new that I’m enjoying! Dawned on me that C6 doesn’t mean I need to only play 6-power cards. Juggernaut, Cosmo, and a mini move package join a C6 core. Cloak and Web to move non-move-scaler 15 power cards is underrated.

Ah yes. When I am locked out of T6, knowing my opp can drop a 20-power Infinaut anywhere they please, I am always thinking, “I could win this if Storm had one less power.”

Infinity ticket #2 with my other infinite deck Punky Movester. Continue to enjoy the new cards from this season, playing more move than I usually do! Trying to make move king @thursdaysnap.bsky.social proud. Code in alt!

Mastered Magik 🗡️

Been enjoying Nexus 🤭 Here you go! Play Quake in move, win lots of 8 cubers. Enjoy!

Done. Thanks hot location! Despite my playing Rogue, I’m never once beat a Mercury. Truly no idea what the best list is (I tried a dozen) except that this configuration is what made me fly through the 90s. Anyhow, now I can mess with Man-Spider decks in Conquest 🤩

Another one with the same list. Beat Destroy, Storm Legion nonsense, Agamotto Wiccan something or other, Negative, Arishem.

This season’s cards are so much more exciting than Zombie month’s! 1. Deafening Chord 2. Web Sling 3. Superior Spider-Man 4. Chameleon 5. Spider-Punk 6. Prowler 7. Ezekiel Sims 8. Man-Spider 9. SM Noir 10. Hydro-Man

I too was not loving this format and found the only fun avenue in Magneto. @scosco.bsky.social’s list was better than mine though so I ran his to the end. Bye Grand Arena 👋🏽

Got an avatar during a work Zoom meeting 😅

Get ready for Grand Arena! Decks and analysis here. ⚡ Extra energy! ❌ Tech cards banned! 🥵 Flashy Combos! 🏗️ Enormous Power! snap.fan/news/grand-a...

What a slog! Did anyone else face the super strong bots? After being disappointed with Zombie Wanda, did 70s and 80s quickly with stock Destroy. Fell back to 89, so switched to this config of Move & Remove then got stuck in 98-99 limbo forever! Switched to Torch Master, which got it done in 4 games.

Can’t wait for the new Snap season!

My 250th Marvel Snap article is up on SnapFan. This one is special. Thanks for reading! snap.fan/news/reasons...

Infinity win while holding the baby and listening to new Taylor at 1am.

I won an infinity border with five different Cerebro decks! Had the idea this morning to do the Infinity Conquest with C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6 (not in that order.) Surprised and relieved that it only took two attempts!

C3 got its good dog back and then got another too. Lockjaw is a nice little boost to help dig for Cerebro or send away Bast or reuse Scarlet Witch. Still playing around with it all.

This is the move configuration I’ve been enjoying this week for ladder and diner! Playing Heimdall for the first time in forever. Rogue and Shadow King are great in this meta and cube stealing surprises in Move. You have to play smart for SK, obvi.* Sneakily beats Tribunal Torch too.

The post-temporary-OTA world feels like an LTGM on ladder. Updated the Torch Master list (with Crystal!) since giant numbers seems to be the name of the game. Here’s what I’ve been doing 🤷‍♂️ win rate is okay but the wins are just silly. (My favorite toxic emoter gets the special emoji.)
