Pretty much nailed this. He's not amazing, but he has a real home and remains pretty compelling. 3 seems correct rn.

Since the announcement of our union, Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have hired Fisher Phillips (a union avoidance firm), and chosen to engage in a daily union-avoidance campaign by sending emails to the Arena team that is spreading misinformation and sowing fear among our colleagues. #uwotc-cwa

What the hell. That was a basically perfect horror film. Just incredible. The central performances were staggering. The worldbuilding was immense. It was funny, it was horrifying. Wow.

Off to see Obsession! This has been one of my most anticipated movies of the year, as a big fan of Curry Barker's comedy and horror work beforehand. Hoping it lives up to (or exceeds) my expectations!

Holy shit. I've been playing Runescape for a crazy amount of time. 16 years ago, they released the skill Dungeoneering, which contained an *absurdly* rare lore drop (1/50k), called the Strange Token. I've wanted to get ahold of it since then. Today, I finally got it. #RuneScape

Recently found out I appear to be the person with the highest Mastery and have the most splits of any CGR owner tracked by Snapcomplete, so did another split to celebrate! Hit big with another banger! Might be time to consider working on M30 with him! #MarvelSnap

Day 1 Sanctum done! Didn't care for the mode very much, it's very sloppy and often ends too quickly. Needs to not be ticketed if it's gonna play like HVO. Got the Ikari variant, plus these other 3 from my PMVs and track MV. Also did all 3 portal pulls! Gonna work on the emote next, I guess?

Went in with a really stupid idea with Punisher War Machine and so far it's been going significantly better than expected! Not sure this is a real deck long term, but it sure is fun. #MarvelSnap

Lastly yeah, she's really bad. Even repeating her isn't very exciting. 2* for sure, she's not unplayable, but she definitely isn't worth building around.

I think this guy is also closer to a 4*, rather than a 3. He is fairly easy to make happen and does function through a tie so he's been shockingly solid to use. Great stat stick!

Well, I got the vibes right. This deck is play big things and win the game with a bit of tech. Better than a 3, definitely around 4* card! The deck thickening DOES matter, but not as much as feared. Also, Phastos Jane was getting some legit play😂

In honor of the amazing new Cosmic Ghost Rider variant, here it is with a bunch of my Krackle splits for him! Had to pick it up to make sure I maintain my #1 mastery with him on Snapcomplete😂 Even more below! #MarvelSnap

No variants I was after rotated in so I went from the portal pulls!

The Daredevil: Crimson Twilight season starts tomorrow and we finally got the full newspost, so let's review the cards! To be up front, this reads like one of the weakest seasons we've had in awhile, but with a lot of big stat cards. If you enjoy this review, please share and follow! #MarvelSnap

I'm glad I stuck to 4/5. This isn't a 5/5, but this is a great card with a powerful effect. Storm is great, get her if you'd use her for sure.

I should have been brave and actually called this a 5/5. It is. Absolutely incredible card.

New cards! I know you're itching to disagree! www.fourthlocation.com/may-card-ran...

Man, I've missed having a good reason to play Gorr. I forgot how massive this dude gets in the right deck! Giving him a test to replace Foom following his fall from grace, and he's impressing. #MarvelSnap

What an insane OTA today. Nearly every major card and deck was hit today. Sunlord is massively weaker, Foom is a coin flip, Shou is way weaker, Agony got clipped, and End of Turn looks nearly dead. The doubling change is cool, and the Archangel/Martyr/Cap Marvel changes are too! #MarvelSnap

Wrote my first creator article for SnapVault covering the Storm deck I've been tinkering with! Would love if y'all would give it a look. #MarvelSnap www.snapvault.app/u/fangride/g...

Storm HoF in Surfer is feeling like the real deal y'all. Still tweaking the exact 12, but have been immensely pleased with the tests in Conquest and am eager to try this out even more! #MarvelSnap #SnapDecks

Time to vote on the BEST 3 cost card in snap! This is going to be tough .. so many good ones .. some of my choices listed below .. list whatever you choose 👇 will pick the winner and announce on tomorrows podcast!

Well that was easy! Decided to grab the Pandart Spotlight for Copycat if it ever rotated through and 3 days later, here it is! #MarvelSnap

Your voice really matters right now. If you would like show your support, join us in requesting that Wizards and Hasbro voluntarily recognize our union by signing our petition at cwa.org/uwotcletter

I can barely believe it. A little over 2 years in the making, the finale for the Star Point story arc on #Monumenta will be wrapping up this upcoming Saturday, and I had the honor of leading development on the quest! Can't wait to close this chapter and work on the next I'm already plotting😎

It's Friday, so let's talk Polaris. This card continues to have a lot of potential, but tbh she continues to really not hit the mark. The decks that can reliably get the requirement are often not gaining much from her. I still think this card will get better in a few months, but isn't good now. 2/5.

Looks like the compensation for the Mystery Box bug is out! Check your inbox; it didn't show up as a notification for me, but was just there. Got Nico boosters, so definitely gotta get her a split soon! #MarvelSnap

Mother Askani and Grand Arena have been delayed due to a critical bug requiring an early patch (Mystery Box bug?). Cosmetics only High Voltage might move forward to this upcoming weekend instead to compensate! #MarvelSnap

Genuinely a good Vault this time - hoping this means SD has heard our complaints and put some work into making them more attractive. Still no Galloway Shanna, but I've seen three others with it today which gives me a ton of hope! #MarvelSnap

What on earth?! Or space I guess? Third Cosmic/Cosmic in the span of a couple months, and of course part of the Wiccan deck I run! Getting a lot of matching splits these days👀 #MarvelSnap

6 different attempts deep and damn, Polaris is terrible. I got myself a little excited initially but she's just so clunky and never pulls what you want.

Alrighty! We got this book into the NYT Best Seller list - let's give a copy away to someone who didn't get one 👀 To enter the give away: Follow me, comment your Strixhaven College, and be able to be contacted and supply a shipping address so I can get it to you. I'll pick a winner this Friday!

Wiccan continues to do incredible post-infinite with consistently great stats!

Time to choose which is the best TWO cost card in Snap! I’ve got some choices listed 👇.. you can pick from those or list your own! Will be used for tomorrow’s podcast!

Had the pleasure of catching an Mystery early screener double feature of two horror films last night! The first was a movie I've been breathlessly waiting for, Hokum. Was blown away even with some smaller complaints. The second, Over Your Dead Body, was a fun comedy thriller. Breezy, bloody! #movies

For one day I knew peace. Today, the dots returned. Now, it means war. #MarvelSnap

Lastly, on some reevaluation of Stryfe after the second weekend of play, he's starting to come down to more of a 4/5. His purpose is the same and what he's doing is still strong, but he's way more disruptable than it felt initially and needing to time him is a real challenge. Annoying card though.

Another card playing out a little higher than expected this week. There's a very cool Firehair midrange deck that's proven to be very successful with Archangel, but Archangel still feels relatively mediocre outside of it. Going to call this one a 3/5 after the week, but it's possible he drops again.

Askani'son has proven to be a really solid role player in Supergiant shells. The meta seems to have leaned into Ozymandias Rocks versions, though I'm still partial to the Ronan version. Giving him a little upgrade to 3.5/5 as he's above average but still not insane. Very cool card.

Flagged as graphic due to rapidly flashing lights! For anyone else trapped in Disco Hell, launch the game without internet, then launch again with and you'll be free! #MarvelSnap

New Cable split goes CRAZY, and I'm now 5 splits away from hitting Mastery 30 on him! #MarvelSnap

Who needs to copy Foom with Stryfe to win games? SK does the trick!

We lost our family cat, Lucy, of 16 years yesterday. She was around 18, had been with us for so long, and lived a long, great life. I was pet sitting for my mom when she took a turn for the worst, but managed to get her fed and she hung on long enough for my mom to get home. She will be so missed😢

Here's the deck that largely took me to Infinite this season! I used DraxAoL for a bit into the 80s, but swapped off him to Copycat after a few too many betrayals. She felt incredible in this meta and kept taking some really strong effects, like FFF. Data spreadsheet coming soon! #MarvelSnap

Well that was the single most dominant run of games I've ever had on Wiccan. Went from 93-100 with the deck, losing a single game in the process, in one hour. #MarvelSnap

And lastly Wolverine is bad. The power he spreads is largely irrelevant, his costing 4 is a major investment for a minor buff and he has not felt good. 2/5 seems correct. He's not impressively statted and the buff decks want better things.

Techno Organic Virus is finding a LOT of experimentation, between Sauron, Rocks, and some other small packages with MMM. It's creeping a little closer to a 4/5 than a 3/5 for me, but isn't all the way there. Let's split the difference with a 3.5?

On the dawn of the second week, let's go over the performances of the cards I reviewed that are out! Stryfe is a Zola and Foom machine. Sometimes he's also a CGR or Shou machine. He's absurd and laughably easy to trigger. Perhaps too easy?

Sorry for the delay, had a busy Monday and hadn't gotten around to rolling a PAX code winner. I've done so now though, so congrats to @giggleloop.bsky.social! I'll reach out with your code now!

I spent hours thinking about Archangel so you don't have to! Can Archangel find a home? www.fourthlocation.com/what-to-do-w...
