Hela falling out of the meta and Loki rising up has paved the way for tempo destroy to feel much better positioned! As a long time Bucky and Deathstrike fan the deck feels quite powerful and uncle ben has been a great addition for moving cards around + giving more destroy food.

With just over half the event left, here’s my Ultimate Guide for Sanctum Showdown. Of course, I’m mostly concerned with the resource management side of things. 1/ 🧵⤵️

"I'm doing my part" I really dislike arishem so I enjoyed these games Do your part to end Arishem in Conquest ✊️ #marvelsnap

Taking today off Streaming, will be back tomorrow but in the meantime here are some neat decks to try out with the OTA changes! Lizard fans rejoice! 🦎 Early post patch deck impressions: ✅ Bounce, Hela, Afflict, Doom, Scream ❌ Surtur Skaar

3 hours into Sanctum and I've lost maybe 5 times with this deck total. Cannonball shouldn't be legal, I imagine he will catch a ban either later in the event or for the next one. Scream is just too good at what the mode wants you to do, and helps counter Sam who is very popular.

Joaquin has been a tough sell in a lot of decks, he’s a decent bounce card but not a must have to play it. This is the one place outside of bounce I’ve liked him a lot. Instead of going for 1 drop value we just make our stones draw 2. Helps get big Thanos + free bird often.

Day 1 Infinite ♾ down! I played mainly Scream 😱 decks which both felt very strong and versatile, as well as a throwback with SasBird since Cap's Shield 🛡️ basically unnerfs Mockingbird 🐦! Sam Wilson 🗽🇺🇸 felt really good and I expect him to see play in a good variety of decks.

Darkrai is easily in my top 3 Pokemon they added, so very happy this came together as I envisoned it! Not sure on Cape/Helmet (but I only have the one of each anyway) but the rest feels great to play. Weezing does chip damage, Weavile lands finishing hits and Darkrai can snipe from the bench

Here are twos deck I've been enjoying post OTA. The Blink list def appreciates the extra points, Mobius is there to help vs Discard/Iron Patriot/Negative. Destroy Thanos is from Fanta, it looks like a pile but feels surprisingly decent? It's also just super fun to play!

metal bros rise! skarmory our saviour is here and they brought Dialga along with them I am still missing one cape, i might drop an X Speed for second Cape. Skarmory on 1 with a Tool is huge and often delays enough for Melmetal all alone, nevermind that gigantic scaling machine you can get going

First god pack acquired at 4560 cards collected ✨🤩

Ended up liking Ares in the new Iron Sauron shell quiet a bit, and its def going to get a bonus boost today from the hot location too!

Early impressions of Ares: Fine card, good in Surtur Skaar but not a massive upgrade. I think there could be some potential for him elsewhere (Wiccan, Sauron, Supergiant) but I didn’t get to test those yet. My advice is unless you’re a Surtur super fan wait and see for now.

Hasty Review ⏲️ Very uninspiring card, but above average. The Skaar deck dominated scraped it from @zombiesgonomnom.bsky.social The Mill deck i adapted from Fudge's (elephantfudge on twitch) annoying mill deck, mainly because i needed something else to play #marvelsnap

This season I’ve been trying to optimize control decks and these two are my best performing decks this season. If you enjoy tech based decks, you will beat most of the matchups out there with these lists.

Wowie! Here’s my analysis of the compensation: It’s big — one hell of a way to kick off “a new era in MARVEL SNAP”! 🔥 (I love that phrase, btw) “a new era” 😌 It’s electric! ⚡️ I hope it means good things for the future of Snap. Alright, onto the math… 1/8⤵️

Up 50 SP this morning with Ajax while clearing out my daily’s. Affliction is still a very strong archetype even in spite of the recent nerfs to it, plus it greatly appreciates less Cage around. Like I’ve been saying all week Mobius is the 🐐 tech of choice rn.

Felt like taking the hammer bros out for a spin this morning and it went surprisingly well! Mobius is super powerful tech vs all the swarms and negatives running around and this deck can go super tall numbers wise you just have to be mindful about tech cards.

Still messing around with weird Bullseye brews and this one has been super fun! We get the power of going wide with Zoo using Shanna, Kazar, and Mockingbird while also being able to bounce squirrels, Hoods, and Shanna cards for Bullseye ammo!

Been having fun making use of the new Mirage variant and I really like this kind of shell for Victoria + Iron Patriot. It’s kinda like a hybrid of card gen + afflict stuff with Lady D acting as powerful tech and an important answer to Luke Cage.

Rocket and Groot is performing well as expected, it’s just a generically good card that works in a lot of decks. I’ve liked it here in the small ball Havok deck personally. Worth noting there is a bug rn where if opponent has Luke Cage out it wont gain any power.

Got a nice Sunspot split today so broke out the She Hulk shenanigans and it went really well! Throw prio going into T6 and then pop off with Hulks, Monkeys and some high impact 1 drops!

Raichu Rush rises up as the aggressive Gyrados counter! Electabuzz can snipe weak Magikarps from the bench or weaken Gyra, new Pika is solid chip damage, and Dedenne can stall for time! Pikachu ex + Raichi and Surge are you main damage caries that close out the game!

Gyrados has taken the Pocket meta by Storm! Unlike the most popular version with Druddigon stall I've preferred a more aggressive build with Articuno. It uses Vaporeon's Wash Out ability to quickly move energy from threat to threat and has Leaf to keep tempo while retreating!

I opened 100 PTCGP packs yesterday and hit the jackpot🤑 👼A God pack with three 2* pokemon 📈Three immersive Celebis and nine 2* full arts total 🔴Watch my pack opening w/ @zombiesgonomnom.bsky.social on the next post ⤵️

Here are 4 decks I've had fun and success with using new cards from the Mythical Island Packs in Pokemon Pocket! Some thoughts on the decks and what these new cards enable below 🧵⬇️

I'm sure counters will rise up soon as there are plenty of options that seem decent vs it but it doesn't change the fact that 2099 is a super fucked up card that is 100% going to warp the meta. Ultron has been decent in spite of bad lad synergy, but leader might just be better.

Kitty Pryde Midrange feels super strong right now and its great for getting all those weekend missions done at once! Peni is a really solid addition that helps fill your curve and enables 4 drop + Kitty on T4.

Thanos Zoo has been doing quite well for me since the OTA. It's always been a favorite archetype of mine since the early days of Snap so it's nice to see the big purple man being back without him being oppressive.

I've had a lot of people ask me if Luna Snow is worth picking up this week, to answer it bluntly its probably a pass for most players. That said she isn't an awful card and I got some solid use out of her here, but the downside of giving +1 to opponents is very real.

There’s a lot of things to be annoyed with in Marvel Snap, but for once the meta is not one of them. I’d go so far as to say since last OTA is the best place the game has been all year with a ton of different decks being viable and no clear S tier outlier. Enjoyed these recently!

♾Infinite with Galacta Cope Sera 🔪 @safetyblade.bsky.social and I co-authored this list 🪐Galacta too good and prob. will get nerfed(next month ofc) 🗺️Curve out with proactive plays, manage priority (sometimes we take, sometimes we throw), deck can out-tech but often can win on points

Finished the climb today with this big buffs deck, Galacta OP!

Those sure are some cards

High Voltage returns in late December with Lasher as the reward

you: like to chat about marvel snap but your partner doesn't want too do I have the link for you: chatgpt.com/g/g-673581ff... this has been a top-secret project of mine for some time, it is far from perfect but I am ready to release this private link into the wild for the BlueSky followers 🔽

New Snap mini set just dropped!

Multiple compensations going out via inbox rn for the 7k missing season pass xp, 500 credits due to the xp issue, and the extra compensation for the split rate issues. Always remember that vocalizing your issues can sometimes make a real impact 👍

Tomorrow the Streamathon begins! Every year since 2022 I've streamed for every day in December and this year will be no different! I will probably be mixing some more non card game stuff into it too, looking forward to it! Live on www.youtube.com/@zombiesgono... & www.twitch.tv/zombiezgonom...

A year and a half after their release spotlight caches have gone from being celebrated to hated. Let's talk about why this system was never sustainable long term in its current form. youtu.be/0mIuyNukNyY

The face of someone who stole a whole loaf of bread off the counter last night and would gladly do it again.

Finished the diner today after being more casual with it this time around. Gorr is very strong with the Anti Venom Malekith midrange package and mystique goes great with him and Ronan. Seen a few donators out too, so hopefully that helps others finish the grind before it ends.

When you ask the Marvel Snap community how they feel about Arishem...

New Deadpool lore just dropped, even he hates the Spotlight cache system 😂

Still experimenting with Fenris but this deck sped through gold for a quick ticket. Feels very versatile and further convinces me that like Anti-Venom this card is at its best in decks that naturally want to run the handful of good cards that naturally support it like Shang, Glad, Monger, NTW.

Mystique commission I did from my Patreon! Hope you guys like it! 😄💖 9" x 12" in gouache and watercolors

Any other hoarders out there

2025 for sure...

Another Fenris idea is revisiting disco surfer! Killmonger, Moon Knight, and Gladiator give us ways to get wolf value. Proxima gets stats for free and helps play around opposing Moon Knights given how few even costs we have. Deck avoids Shang chi well and USAgent is all upside!
