SNAP Material - Meta and Unlocks August 2026

WEBVTT
1
00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:14.189
Well then, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Snap Material Podcast.
2
00:00:14.869 --> 00:00:19.670
We have returned for the month of September to give
3
00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:24.109
you a heads up on what's coming up with Axis Inversion.
4
00:00:24.129 --> 00:00:26.109
And then we're going to cover our.
5
00:00:26.129 --> 00:00:29.390
Every line I never thought I would see referenced again
6
00:00:29.629 --> 00:00:31.269
in any format.
7
00:00:31.449 --> 00:00:34.729
How long ago was that? Like, it was pretty recent, right? Like,
8
00:00:34.770 --> 00:00:35.750
it was... In the.
9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.799
Grand scheme of things, but I think it was post...
10
00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:41.119
Avengers vs.
11
00:00:41.259 --> 00:00:41.560
X-Men.
12
00:00:41.679 --> 00:00:44.170
Yeah. Just so happens I did a blog post about it.
13
00:00:44.189 --> 00:00:45.009
Oh, wow.
14
00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:47.969
Well, I've done two blog posts about Axis.
15
00:00:48.609 --> 00:00:49.250
No kidding.
16
00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:52.770
So, yeah, I've done two blog posts about Axis because
17
00:00:52.789 --> 00:00:55.950
they both had moments that I loved in spite of
18
00:00:56.030 --> 00:00:58.200
the overall event being not so great.
19
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:00.100
2014.
20
00:01:00.100 --> 00:01:04.760
All right. So longer ago than you're thinking, but not
21
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:05.719
really that long ago.
22
00:01:05.739 --> 00:01:09.500
Yeah, only 12 years. Well, yeah. Yeah.
23
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:14.459
Not very well received. Not very well remembered. The people involved,
24
00:01:15.299 --> 00:01:17.920
the writers were literally not on the same page.
25
00:01:18.209 --> 00:01:24.849
Oh, geez. That's never good. Never good. Well, yeah, and
26
00:01:24.870 --> 00:01:27.629
then we'll be discussing our meta and unlocks for August here.
27
00:01:27.650 --> 00:01:29.670
Oh, wow, I did all that in the intro.
28
00:01:30.590 --> 00:01:32.810
Then we got our top five that we are going
29
00:01:32.829 --> 00:01:34.629
to be discussing. We'll be having a good time there
30
00:01:34.650 --> 00:01:36.989
because we'll be discussing one of my favorite cards that
31
00:01:37.010 --> 00:01:41.030
gets referenced just about every time we do an episode.
32
00:01:41.189 --> 00:01:45.200
All right, well, hey, I'll go ahead and start with
33
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:49.219
our unlocks here. And just currently, right now, I'm at
34
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:55.569
collector level 27,272. And as of today, I've got 825
35
00:01:55.569 --> 00:02:00.650
tokens sitting there. 11 new cards since we last talked. So,
36
00:02:00.670 --> 00:02:03.870
and that's... Oh, no, that's for you.
37
00:02:03.890 --> 00:02:05.670
Sorry, I thought that was.
38
00:02:06.010 --> 00:02:09.469
For the season. No, 11 new cards for myself.
39
00:02:10.150 --> 00:02:10.569
Oh, nice.
40
00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:12.509
Probably one of the higher amounts that I've gotten. A
41
00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:15.009
total of four super rares. And I think a lot
42
00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:19.039
of that has to be attributed to our new game
43
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.960
mode that we'll be doing here in a few, I'm sure,
44
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:23.419
which is Draft. I'll go ahead and run them down here. Oh,
45
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:28.030
by the way, still kind of like heading through, soldiering
46
00:02:28.069 --> 00:02:32.590
through the goal of getting every card that I have
47
00:02:32.689 --> 00:02:36.830
to animated status. I am currently in the K's. with
48
00:02:36.889 --> 00:02:40.979
Kitty Pryde up next. I've only got about 17 cards
49
00:02:41.020 --> 00:02:44.879
that have had to basically take the backseat because I
50
00:02:44.900 --> 00:02:47.099
don't have the boosters for it. Now, granted, I might
51
00:02:47.139 --> 00:02:49.000
be able to use some of those wild boosters. Yeah,
52
00:02:49.439 --> 00:02:52.219
I could use those wild boosters anytime. And I've got
53
00:02:52.300 --> 00:02:53.979
quite a few now. I think I've got close to
54
00:02:53.979 --> 00:02:57.469
200 of these wild boosters. So I could probably bring
55
00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:00.469
up those other cards pretty easily, but haven't done so yet.
56
00:03:01.069 --> 00:03:03.189
All right, starting us out here. Here we go. I
57
00:03:03.370 --> 00:03:09.509
got a Juli Rension Brood. I then got Moondragon, Brett Bean,
58
00:03:09.740 --> 00:03:17.879
Ezekiel Sims, Fractured Frontier, Doc Ock, Frank Cho, Enchantress, Mana Studios. Oh, nice.
59
00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:19.439
Is that the one where she's sitting on the Hulk?
60
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.069
Yeah, she is. She is definitely sitting on the Hulk.
61
00:03:23.810 --> 00:03:26.090
I didn't even notice that. I thought she was like,
62
00:03:26.469 --> 00:03:29.729
I thought it was a throne of some sort. That's crazy.
63
00:03:29.789 --> 00:03:33.229
It is. All right, so Frank Cho, Enchantress. A Mana
64
00:03:33.289 --> 00:03:36.569
Studios Fractured Frontier Doc Ock. And then I got a
65
00:03:36.610 --> 00:03:40.169
Summer Vacation Doc Ock, which brings my total Doc Ocks
66
00:03:40.189 --> 00:03:43.960
to three so far this season. I got a Venomized Angel.
67
00:03:43.969 --> 00:03:50.960
I finally got Iska the Unbeaten. Nice. Pixel Bast. Joel
68
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:57.879
Jones Mockingbird. A Pandart Studios Thing. A Pixel Doctor Doom.
69
00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:04.280
Punisher War Machine. Pandart Studios Loki. Oh, nice. Sweeney Boo Gamora.
70
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.979
I think this is about where I'm starting to play Draft,
71
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:13.780
if I remember correctly. Baby Iceman. Dragon of the Moon.
72
00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.990
A Fractured Frontier Hellcow. Donagiro Havoc.
73
00:04:21.319 --> 00:04:22.110
I got that one too.
74
00:04:22.350 --> 00:04:22.569
Yep.
75
00:04:22.670 --> 00:04:23.529
That's a pretty nice one.
76
00:04:24.069 --> 00:04:28.350
Nicolasi Iron Patriot, which is a really cool looking card
77
00:04:28.509 --> 00:04:33.029
with the Iron Patriot draped in the American flag. Oh, yeah.
78
00:04:33.550 --> 00:04:34.910
Yeah, I've got that one. It's awesome.
79
00:04:35.129 --> 00:04:36.509
Fractured Frontier Red Hulk.
80
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:38.420
Ah, that's nice.
81
00:04:38.540 --> 00:04:40.959
I got him the week that he was being featured. But, yeah,
82
00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:42.699
it was just a random pull out of that, which
83
00:04:42.740 --> 00:04:45.560
was pretty cool. I think along with that came Summer
84
00:04:45.579 --> 00:04:46.720
Vacation Kingpin.
85
00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:52.550
Okay, the Hawaiian shirt. I think that's my preferred Kingpin variant.
86
00:04:52.569 --> 00:04:54.470
That's a good one. Takes up most of the card.
87
00:04:54.649 --> 00:04:57.949
It's a good-looking card. I don't know how I ended up.
88
00:04:58.050 --> 00:05:00.350
I think this might have been a draft winner as well,
89
00:05:01.069 --> 00:05:03.910
and that was Matthias... Manahani Ghost Rider.
90
00:05:03.930 --> 00:05:05.170
Okay.
91
00:05:05.189 --> 00:05:08.870
And I animated that thing and it looks awesome. After that,
92
00:05:09.170 --> 00:05:12.269
I got an Alex Malieve Electro. I really like those
93
00:05:12.350 --> 00:05:16.069
Alex Malieve cards. They're pretty cool. They look good. And
94
00:05:16.089 --> 00:05:21.949
then I ended up with Chamber. Triton. Triton came with Chamber. Um...
95
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:24.879
Photon Spectrum.
96
00:05:25.379 --> 00:05:26.779
Oh, nice. Doing one.
97
00:05:26.959 --> 00:05:30.560
Yep. And then Zombie Mr. Fantastic. And then I got
98
00:05:30.579 --> 00:05:37.259
a Hero Human Torch. Shadowlands Daredevil, and Summer Vacation, Jeff
99
00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:43.279
the Baby Dolphin. Ah. Which is horribly cute because he looks,
100
00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:45.000
he's all, I don't know if you've seen that one
101
00:05:45.040 --> 00:05:45.699
or not, but he's.
102
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.819
I think I have, but.
103
00:05:48.040 --> 00:05:52.560
Yeah, he's all like snuggled up on a floaty. Ah.
104
00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:53.319
Floating in a pool.
105
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:53.860
It's cute.
106
00:05:54.259 --> 00:05:56.410
I'll send it to you. So yeah, there you go.
107
00:05:56.430 --> 00:05:57.879
Like I said, I got the super rares that I
108
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:00.699
ended up with. Summer Vacation Jeff the Baby Dolphin is
109
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:04.399
a super rare. The Photon variant of Spectrum is a
110
00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:07.699
super rare. Baby Iceman was a super rare. And the
111
00:06:07.939 --> 00:06:11.240
Summer Vacation Doc Ock. So I ended up with three,
112
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.800
which I guess this is appropriate. I got three Summer
113
00:06:13.819 --> 00:06:19.829
Vacation variants this go-round. With Doc Ock, Kingpin, and Jeff
114
00:06:19.870 --> 00:06:24.449
the Baby Dolphin. So... So that's kind of where I
115
00:06:24.569 --> 00:06:28.750
landed on my unlocks. I'd probably say, like, my favorite
116
00:06:28.769 --> 00:06:31.250
card coming out of this that I've used of the
117
00:06:31.329 --> 00:06:36.769
new cards that I've used a lot, Iska the Unbeaten, easily. Oh, yeah. Now,
118
00:06:36.790 --> 00:06:38.569
as we'll talk in the meta here a little bit,
119
00:06:38.589 --> 00:06:40.990
I didn't play a lot this season as far as
120
00:06:41.029 --> 00:06:45.899
the regular game mode. So I didn't... After I got Iska,
121
00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:49.379
I think I was using her in... Gosh, there was
122
00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:51.310
a location I think that was featured, and I was
123
00:06:51.410 --> 00:06:53.649
using her there. Or maybe it was high voltage I
124
00:06:53.689 --> 00:06:55.509
think I was using her in. But either way, I
125
00:06:56.129 --> 00:06:57.569
was able to put some use to her after I
126
00:06:57.589 --> 00:07:01.790
got her. But I didn't make a run for infinite
127
00:07:01.829 --> 00:07:05.129
or anything like that. I barely got past 70. So
128
00:07:05.170 --> 00:07:09.269
that's kind of where I was. So they end up
129
00:07:09.449 --> 00:07:13.290
doing the draft mode. And it's so funny because I
130
00:07:13.329 --> 00:07:16.569
wasn't expecting it at all. And I was in Columbus.
131
00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.339
That was the past couple weeks. I'm finally back home,
132
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:22.759
but the past couple weeks were me spending four days
133
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:25.759
in Columbus, two weeks straight. So I'm sitting there, like,
134
00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:28.649
just laying in bed, and I'm going to try and
135
00:07:28.689 --> 00:07:30.470
play a game of Snap, maybe go to sleep. And
136
00:07:30.490 --> 00:07:32.769
then I was like, oh, there's this new mode on here.
137
00:07:32.829 --> 00:07:36.110
What's this? This draft. I have no idea what it's about.
138
00:07:36.129 --> 00:07:38.290
I just went into it blindly. And I start playing
139
00:07:38.310 --> 00:07:42.589
this thing, and I'm like, holy crap. This is actually
140
00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:43.569
really fun.
141
00:07:43.649 --> 00:07:46.610
I know a lot of people, like I'd heard people
142
00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:49.829
saying that they really wanted a draft mode. I honestly
143
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:53.769
wasn't sure what a draft mode would entail. I thought
144
00:07:54.529 --> 00:07:58.129
there was some game I played, and I can't even
145
00:07:58.149 --> 00:08:00.279
remember what it was, but some mobile game I played
146
00:08:00.939 --> 00:08:02.800
where there was a draft mode and it was like
147
00:08:02.879 --> 00:08:06.220
you picked from your own stuff, but then like somebody
148
00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:10.750
could like, block a card, so you could... I don't know,
149
00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:12.990
but I thought it was just picking from the stuff
150
00:08:13.930 --> 00:08:17.430
you already had. Right. So yeah, this is not what
151
00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:18.730
I expected, but I liked it.
152
00:08:19.189 --> 00:08:24.230
Yeah, I would probably compare it to Magic the Gathering.
153
00:08:24.930 --> 00:08:28.209
Whenever you would go to a card store or something
154
00:08:28.230 --> 00:08:29.939
like that, they'd be like, alright guys, we're going to
155
00:08:29.980 --> 00:08:31.959
have a draft tournament, I think is what they may
156
00:08:31.980 --> 00:08:37.409
have called it. And essentially, you were given... So many
157
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:38.200
packs of cards.
158
00:08:39.059 --> 00:08:39.340
Yeah.
159
00:08:39.399 --> 00:08:40.840
I don't know if it was covered by the cost
160
00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:42.720
of the entry fee or if it was a situation
161
00:08:42.740 --> 00:08:44.120
where you could use those cards and then you had
162
00:08:44.139 --> 00:08:47.220
to turn them over to the place. But you did
163
00:08:47.259 --> 00:08:49.980
a draft tournament, so everybody was given packs of cards
164
00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:53.720
and you basically had to put something together out of
165
00:08:53.759 --> 00:08:55.500
those cards that you were given.
166
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.600
Right. Yeah, and I've done that with Heroclix.
167
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.799
That's very similar to this because you have your option
168
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:04.639
to choose. You don't really have that option in Magic
169
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:06.820
as far as I know. in those tournaments. But in
170
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:09.100
this situation, you're given the option to kind of choose
171
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:11.590
which kind of deck you want to use. And then
172
00:09:12.169 --> 00:09:13.950
from there on out, you kind of pick and choose
173
00:09:13.990 --> 00:09:16.110
what cards you want to add to it. I played
174
00:09:16.149 --> 00:09:19.350
Magic for probably, I don't know, four or five years.
175
00:09:19.850 --> 00:09:23.000
Never participated in a tournament in any way. So I
176
00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:25.759
never did the whole draft thing. So when this showed up,
177
00:09:25.820 --> 00:09:27.320
I didn't know. I was kind of like you. I
178
00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:31.759
wasn't well-versed enough to even know what to expect. After
179
00:09:31.779 --> 00:09:33.440
starting to play, I was like, oh, okay, I've heard
180
00:09:33.460 --> 00:09:35.899
of something similar to this. But of course, there are
181
00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.700
some really fun things that happen during these drafts. As
182
00:09:40.740 --> 00:09:44.799
you're pulling these cards, as it goes on, you have
183
00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.289
the opportunity to improve or upgrade a card or have
184
00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:50.970
it do some kind of crazy ability or something like that.
185
00:09:51.730 --> 00:09:55.110
I really, really dug this mode. This was something that
186
00:09:55.750 --> 00:09:59.129
kept the game very interesting, and I'm really glad that
187
00:09:59.169 --> 00:10:01.429
they knew that it was going to be interesting enough
188
00:10:01.480 --> 00:10:03.000
to make it i think it was like a two-week
189
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:05.940
deal like they're doing two weeks worth of this thing
190
00:10:06.279 --> 00:10:14.210
and the rewards are insane like i you can't I
191
00:10:14.250 --> 00:10:16.669
don't know if there's a way to compare. There's never
192
00:10:16.750 --> 00:10:19.889
been a game mode, as far as I'm concerned, that's
193
00:10:19.990 --> 00:10:25.179
given rewards out as much as this. As you were playing,
194
00:10:26.639 --> 00:10:30.809
how many times have you won with your drafted deck?
195
00:10:32.059 --> 00:10:34.679
I forget. I counted it for a while and almost
196
00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.620
wish I hadn't. I got the premium pass so I
197
00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:40.279
could get the card, but I breezed through it pretty quick.
198
00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:42.379
I still go back and play because it's just fun.
199
00:10:42.460 --> 00:10:44.179
There's not a lot of prizes left to get, but
200
00:10:44.240 --> 00:10:46.980
it's just fun to play. But yeah, the first time
201
00:10:47.039 --> 00:10:50.139
I won, I was like, wow, that's really that's quite
202
00:10:50.179 --> 00:10:51.990
a haul that you're getting there.
203
00:10:52.259 --> 00:10:54.429
So you've finished. I haven't finished it yet. So I've
204
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:56.889
got like, I don't know, five or six prizes. more
205
00:10:57.250 --> 00:10:59.210
ladders before I get it, which I'm sure is going
206
00:10:59.230 --> 00:11:01.230
to be one situation in which I win and I
207
00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:03.490
should be at the end. If you go back and
208
00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:07.289
play it again after you've beat the ladder, do the
209
00:11:07.370 --> 00:11:10.730
rewards go down? Like, because if you win with all
210
00:11:10.789 --> 00:11:11.840
five or all five.
211
00:11:12.549 --> 00:11:16.169
I'm honestly not sure. OK, I've done so. No, you
212
00:11:16.220 --> 00:11:18.820
still get a decent amount of rewards in the I
213
00:11:18.840 --> 00:11:21.299
can never remember the different units, but the bits I
214
00:11:21.340 --> 00:11:23.240
think that you get, I've still got enough to get
215
00:11:23.279 --> 00:11:25.470
a couple of variants if something catches my eye.
216
00:11:25.970 --> 00:11:29.889
So you yeah do you continue to get the variants
217
00:11:29.950 --> 00:11:32.389
though like every time i've gone to.
218
00:11:32.169 --> 00:11:35.830
In the shop okay oh yeah yeah i think i've
219
00:11:35.850 --> 00:11:37.669
still gotten a variant like i didn't get a variant
220
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:40.879
every time i want all five but i do more
221
00:11:40.980 --> 00:11:44.080
often than not and yeah i i have i'm trying
222
00:11:44.100 --> 00:11:47.399
to think let me see as i go through here who.
223
00:11:46.980 --> 00:11:49.960
I the amount of boosters too is the same too
224
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.779
like they will drop like 155 boosters for this person,
225
00:11:53.820 --> 00:11:56.139
this person, this person, this card, this card, this card.
226
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.279
And I'm like, cheesy criminy. Yeah.
227
00:11:59.320 --> 00:12:01.039
I got a, how much I love chibis. I got
228
00:12:01.070 --> 00:12:03.690
a chibi hobgoblin variant as a prize out of one
229
00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:05.610
of those. And I think I'd already finished the ladder
230
00:12:06.070 --> 00:12:06.690
at that point.
231
00:12:07.009 --> 00:12:10.129
Oh, wow. Okay. So we've got another six days of this.
232
00:12:10.169 --> 00:12:12.080
Maybe, maybe that was more of a punishment, but I,
233
00:12:12.090 --> 00:12:13.509
that one's not as bad as some of them.
234
00:12:14.379 --> 00:12:18.460
I just, I think the, the way of having the
235
00:12:18.500 --> 00:12:20.799
opportunity to pick what kind of upgrades you get and, and,
236
00:12:21.450 --> 00:12:26.019
really gives you the opportunity to number one, like make
237
00:12:26.059 --> 00:12:29.639
a deck that isn't something that you're always used to.
238
00:12:29.759 --> 00:12:34.549
And number two, it also gives the opportunity for interesting gameplay.
239
00:12:34.990 --> 00:12:35.250
Yeah.
240
00:12:35.289 --> 00:12:36.809
There's been a lot of stuff that I've seen on
241
00:12:36.870 --> 00:12:41.240
Reddit where people are, showing some of the interesting games
242
00:12:41.259 --> 00:12:43.340
that are being played because of some of these extra
243
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:45.679
abilities or stuff like that but anyway go ahead you
244
00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:46.500
want to say something.
245
00:12:46.460 --> 00:12:49.919
I've even had instances where i've gone and made decks
246
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:53.330
in the regular game mode based on something i played.
247
00:12:52.929 --> 00:12:56.870
In draft in the draft yeah yeah now.
248
00:12:56.629 --> 00:12:59.690
Of course you can't always recreate that but but yeah
249
00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:03.049
i think it's been a lot of fun and Yeah,
250
00:13:03.169 --> 00:13:07.000
it's not really a complaint or a disappointment, but they
251
00:13:07.009 --> 00:13:09.559
only changed the random variant you could get once a
252
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:11.399
day instead of three times a day, but all that
253
00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:15.159
means is that I haven't burned through all my... Bits, yeah. Yeah,
254
00:13:15.259 --> 00:13:16.799
I'm like, how do I say that to where it's
255
00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:19.279
not weird, but just can't do it. But yeah, that's
256
00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:21.659
the only thing there is that I haven't grabbed as
257
00:13:21.740 --> 00:13:25.070
many as I would have in other modes, but I
258
00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:28.690
think I got two regular Series 5 cards that I
259
00:13:28.750 --> 00:13:32.070
didn't previously have because of this mode.
260
00:13:32.570 --> 00:13:33.830
Yeah, that's awesome.
261
00:13:34.149 --> 00:13:35.429
And yeah, and then.
262
00:13:35.450 --> 00:13:40.100
I think I bought my Series 5 pack out of
263
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.379
there this morning. Yeah. And whatever my last Series 5
264
00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:47.600
card was that I listed was probably that Shadowlands. I
265
00:13:47.620 --> 00:13:50.299
think it was that Shadowlands Daredevil. Oh, yeah. I got
266
00:13:50.379 --> 00:13:51.179
it out of that pack.
267
00:13:51.240 --> 00:13:52.500
I use him a lot. Oh, yeah.
268
00:13:53.220 --> 00:13:56.330
But yeah, I've been very pleasantly impressed. And like I said,
269
00:13:56.370 --> 00:13:58.250
didn't get a chance to go into the regular game
270
00:13:58.269 --> 00:14:01.559
mode very much. I think I played my... My standard
271
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.799
10 games, so I get up to my 500 credits
272
00:14:03.830 --> 00:14:06.250
that I usually get, and then I broke 70 and
273
00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:08.929
then turned around and went into playing all the game
274
00:14:08.970 --> 00:14:10.830
modes and stuff. Yeah.
275
00:14:12.029 --> 00:14:13.990
So draft mode has been a lot of fun. Like
276
00:14:14.029 --> 00:14:17.360
I said, once I finished it up, I went back
277
00:14:17.919 --> 00:14:21.559
and played the regular mode some, did somehow back into
278
00:14:21.639 --> 00:14:25.940
Infinite with my old standby, the Tom Gordon deck, which
279
00:14:26.000 --> 00:14:28.879
I renamed the Tom Golden deck because I've gold split
280
00:14:28.899 --> 00:14:29.720
all the cards in it now.
281
00:14:29.730 --> 00:14:30.289
Have you really?
282
00:14:31.059 --> 00:14:35.000
Yeah, I think I screenshotted it and then did not
283
00:14:35.059 --> 00:14:38.399
send it to you when it happened. But yeah, I
284
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:39.840
had a few things. I was trying a bunch of
285
00:14:39.860 --> 00:14:43.799
different stuff. I would gain a little traction every once
286
00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:48.399
in a while, but couldn't quite make anything work. So finally,
287
00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:50.879
I just went to that. And like I always say
288
00:14:50.899 --> 00:14:54.360
with it, you can take really big swings with it.
289
00:14:54.929 --> 00:14:57.250
And you can also lose really bad with it. But
290
00:14:57.350 --> 00:14:59.129
that's basically how it works. Like, if I get within
291
00:14:59.169 --> 00:15:01.990
striking distance of Infinite and nothing else is working, I'm like, well,
292
00:15:02.649 --> 00:15:07.009
I can string together a couple 8-cubers, and I think
293
00:15:07.029 --> 00:15:09.539
that's the third time I've hit Infinite with that deck.
294
00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:10.759
Nice. Very nice.
295
00:15:11.019 --> 00:15:12.539
But like I said, it didn't carry me all the way,
296
00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.100
but it got me over the finish line. That's why
297
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:18.360
it's Tom Gordon. It's the closer. So yeah, I did
298
00:15:18.399 --> 00:15:20.639
jump back to that. But yeah, draft mode has been
299
00:15:20.659 --> 00:15:22.129
a lot of fun. And like I said, I've even
300
00:15:22.169 --> 00:15:25.980
made some other decks... using ideas i got in that
301
00:15:26.049 --> 00:15:29.980
like inspired well yeah i've got a deck called rampage
302
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:31.620
that was one of mine that was in the 90s
303
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:35.539
but didn't just with a bunch of huge powered cards
304
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:38.730
and i don't have everything i had in the draft
305
00:15:38.759 --> 00:15:41.909
deck because you can get duplicates and obviously stuff gets
306
00:15:42.090 --> 00:15:44.370
boosted but yeah that's the basis for it and then
307
00:15:44.409 --> 00:15:48.879
i threw in some other stuff in there awesome What
308
00:15:48.940 --> 00:15:50.480
else did I get? I had a deck that has
309
00:15:50.580 --> 00:15:54.580
a whole lot of, like, one-costs and created cards that
310
00:15:54.659 --> 00:15:57.799
Strange Supreme eats up, and that is a far cry
311
00:15:57.840 --> 00:16:01.059
from what I played in draft that actually started it,
312
00:16:01.070 --> 00:16:02.490
but I was like, well, if I do this and
313
00:16:02.519 --> 00:16:06.649
this and this. So, yeah, I had a few. Now,
314
00:16:06.690 --> 00:16:08.529
not all of them stuck, but it was just fun.
315
00:16:08.549 --> 00:16:11.799
The Rampage. one is the one that stuck, but that
316
00:16:11.860 --> 00:16:15.940
was not where most of my experimentation happened this season. Oh, really?
317
00:16:16.220 --> 00:16:16.480
Okay.
318
00:16:16.500 --> 00:16:18.440
Let me go through my unlocks and then I'll tell
319
00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:19.960
you the roads I went down.
320
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:20.559
All right. All right.
321
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.340
So I started off with an Invar Studio Hydra Bob.
322
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:26.539
Okay. Okay.
323
00:16:26.590 --> 00:16:29.350
So then I got that Don Aguilo Havoc. And then
324
00:16:29.409 --> 00:16:31.929
I said, you know what? Thanos in a cowboy hat.
325
00:16:32.090 --> 00:16:33.929
I like that. So I went out the season path.
326
00:16:34.429 --> 00:16:35.009
Nice.
327
00:16:35.590 --> 00:16:40.860
Got Thanos Fractured Frontier. Soon after that, I did Ink Split, Gambit,
328
00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:44.539
Horseman of Death, and then I got Doc Octopus, Fractured Frontier.
329
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:49.879
Used him immediately in a deck I called Nightmare all
330
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:54.710
along because I was like, well, with Doc Oct, Fractured Frontier,
331
00:16:55.049 --> 00:16:57.470
and Red Shift, I've got people who can get rid
332
00:16:57.570 --> 00:17:00.809
of Agatha pretty easily. And then I'm like, but also,
333
00:17:00.929 --> 00:17:04.230
if I just played Nightmare, then Agatha would be a
334
00:17:04.230 --> 00:17:08.509
614 that might actually not be harmful to me. So
335
00:17:08.710 --> 00:17:09.970
I messed around with that for a while.
336
00:17:11.170 --> 00:17:11.829
Nice.
337
00:17:12.910 --> 00:17:17.630
Got a Michael Ivan MODOK, Gold Split the Blob, got
338
00:17:17.650 --> 00:17:23.410
a Pandart Hood, got a Kohori What-If variant, which Kohori
339
00:17:23.430 --> 00:17:26.170
is already a What-If character from the What-If season, but
340
00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:30.099
much like the Peggy or the Captain Carter What-If variant,
341
00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:36.259
she's a chibi. Got an Inkpulp Hazmat, a Danhip Cull Obsidian.
342
00:17:37.230 --> 00:17:38.869
And then I was like, you know what? I want
343
00:17:38.890 --> 00:17:41.890
some more of these weird Western characters. But instead, I
344
00:17:41.910 --> 00:17:42.910
got the Sinister Six.
345
00:17:43.210 --> 00:17:45.130
Oh, well then. Okay.
346
00:17:45.190 --> 00:17:47.049
Here's the thing, and I'm not going to pretend this
347
00:17:47.109 --> 00:17:49.349
was my brilliant idea because I saw this a lot.
348
00:17:49.430 --> 00:17:52.130
But I remember we talked last time, like, well, it
349
00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:55.009
might work with Thanos Fractured Frontier. Oh, and by the way,
350
00:17:55.089 --> 00:17:59.029
Quicksilver and Domino do fit into the quick draw mechanic
351
00:17:59.069 --> 00:18:01.210
with Thanos Fractured Frontier. I think I've used them, but
352
00:18:01.230 --> 00:18:02.259
I've seen them used enough.
353
00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:02.670
I saw.
354
00:18:03.299 --> 00:18:04.920
Fracture Frontier Thanos a lot.
355
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:05.980
Okay.
356
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.119
But often, his animation wasn't the only one I saw.
357
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.599
Often I saw regular Thanos, because if you want to
358
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.319
quick draw, play some cards, it helps if you have
359
00:18:16.339 --> 00:18:17.059
a lot of one-cost cards.
360
00:18:17.079 --> 00:18:18.119
One-costers, yep.
361
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:24.750
And if you want to, say, get six cards to
362
00:18:24.789 --> 00:18:26.990
merge and still have other cards left over to play,
363
00:18:27.849 --> 00:18:31.880
Thanos makes sense for that, too. So I often played
364
00:18:32.059 --> 00:18:35.700
and saw played against me a deck with Thanos, Thanos
365
00:18:35.740 --> 00:18:37.869
Fractured Frontier, and Sinister Six.
366
00:18:38.619 --> 00:18:39.730
Oh my goodness.
367
00:18:40.329 --> 00:18:43.750
Let's see, I called that... Well, initially I called it
368
00:18:43.849 --> 00:18:47.930
Infinite Six, but then I dumped Thanos from that and
369
00:18:47.990 --> 00:18:51.720
just mainly played a bunch of cards that create or
370
00:18:51.859 --> 00:18:56.380
steal other cards. It's Thanos, Fractured Frontier, Sinister Six, and
371
00:18:56.420 --> 00:19:00.630
a Mill deck, basically because... I want some cards that
372
00:19:00.710 --> 00:19:01.650
won't merge into the.
373
00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.359
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
374
00:19:04.380 --> 00:19:06.920
Okay. And then that one kind of stalled out, so
375
00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:12.190
I went back to the double the Thanos and Sinister Six, and...
376
00:19:13.289 --> 00:19:15.829
But I got Marvel Boy boosted. I don't know what
377
00:19:16.109 --> 00:19:18.569
I've got here. Let's see. Yellow Jacket to get a
378
00:19:18.589 --> 00:19:21.329
zero cost in there. King Eitri to pull out some
379
00:19:21.369 --> 00:19:26.930
more of the Infinity Stones. Titania so that she can
380
00:19:26.950 --> 00:19:29.890
be absorbed into the Sinister Six before she jumps to
381
00:19:29.930 --> 00:19:33.470
the other side. Black Swan to get those one costs
382
00:19:33.569 --> 00:19:37.519
out there. Starhawk. I guess, because I wanted to boost
383
00:19:37.539 --> 00:19:40.799
some cards before they got absorbed. Mysterio, so that you
384
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:43.839
can create the duplicate and then shift your power to
385
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:45.910
him before he joins the Sinister Six.
386
00:19:45.910 --> 00:19:47.589
Ooh, that's smart.
387
00:19:47.609 --> 00:19:50.150
Wilson Fisk, and then if you've got all those low-cost
388
00:19:50.170 --> 00:19:52.210
cards out there, you may as well have Sasquatch, too.
389
00:19:53.470 --> 00:19:53.829
Right.
390
00:19:54.549 --> 00:19:57.230
So now, sometimes that comes back to bite you. You're like, wow,
391
00:19:57.259 --> 00:19:59.619
I've got this really powerful lane, and then three points
392
00:19:59.650 --> 00:20:01.170
in the other one. That was a lot of fun,
393
00:20:01.279 --> 00:20:04.539
and that did help me get into the 90s, for sure. Oh, wow.
394
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:07.000
Like I said, I can't claim that was my own
395
00:20:07.059 --> 00:20:10.200
genius or anything like that. I I got to thinking
396
00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:12.619
about it myself, but I discovered it about the same
397
00:20:12.660 --> 00:20:16.660
time everybody else did. Cause, cause yeah. Didn't you send
398
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:18.759
me the thing or was that somebody else that sent
399
00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:21.140
me the, the long intro deck?
400
00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:23.619
Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
401
00:20:23.900 --> 00:20:27.369
I saw Thanos fractured frontier a lot. And often I
402
00:20:27.450 --> 00:20:30.509
saw regular Thanos with him and it was not uncommon
403
00:20:30.529 --> 00:20:32.809
to see sinister six with him too. Sinister six. I
404
00:20:32.849 --> 00:20:36.779
don't think it's too powerful, uh, It's not an auto-win,
405
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:38.700
but it's a lot of fun. I did not do
406
00:20:38.740 --> 00:20:42.619
a good job keeping lists of the oddball Sinister Sixes. Actually,
407
00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.160
that's one reason I made the deck that I took
408
00:20:46.259 --> 00:20:49.630
Thanos and the Infinity Stones out of, is because I
409
00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:52.809
was tired of my Sinister Six consisting of, like, three
410
00:20:52.849 --> 00:20:55.789
characters and three Infinity Stones. The one I wrote down,
411
00:20:55.869 --> 00:21:01.349
the Sinister Six that I actually wrote down, was Yondu, Cable...
412
00:21:01.410 --> 00:21:04.210
Psylocke from Fractured Frontier, who I didn't get, but I
413
00:21:04.269 --> 00:21:09.089
must have stolen with cable. Right, right. Magic, Shauna the She-Devil,
414
00:21:09.170 --> 00:21:15.910
and Sunspot. Sinister. Yeah. So, yeah, but that was a
415
00:21:15.950 --> 00:21:16.470
lot of fun.
416
00:21:16.529 --> 00:21:16.990
That's cool.
417
00:21:17.130 --> 00:21:21.319
I got, let's see, Pixel Zero. And for whatever mode
418
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.710
we said Doc Ock Fractured Frontier was in, I got
419
00:21:23.769 --> 00:21:25.329
the variant for him.
420
00:21:25.750 --> 00:21:27.829
I want to pause here real quick because I did
421
00:21:27.849 --> 00:21:31.130
want to talk about Doc Ock Fractured Frontier. You mentioned
422
00:21:31.190 --> 00:21:34.940
how you had kind of talked about him or used
423
00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:37.519
him a little bit. I think I sent you a photo.
424
00:21:37.819 --> 00:21:41.140
The one deck that I built with him was just
425
00:21:41.380 --> 00:21:45.619
solely created to get the Fallen One to some kind
426
00:21:45.660 --> 00:21:51.230
of crazy number. And essentially it has cards that would
427
00:21:51.670 --> 00:21:55.190
lower the cost and increase the power. And then he
428
00:21:55.210 --> 00:21:56.950
could come in and then put it back on top
429
00:21:56.970 --> 00:21:58.789
of the deck and then you would get more power.
430
00:21:58.809 --> 00:22:01.990
I had a stick. At one point I had Maverick
431
00:22:02.009 --> 00:22:03.509
in there, but I took him out and put in
432
00:22:03.569 --> 00:22:08.259
Jim Hammond because he... if you have bonus energy, which
433
00:22:08.319 --> 00:22:11.359
would definitely happen if I could get fallen one out there.
434
00:22:11.380 --> 00:22:13.160
And I think the picture I sent you was the
435
00:22:13.220 --> 00:22:16.509
fallen one with 17 power or something like that. I
436
00:22:16.549 --> 00:22:19.490
had him out there in turn six and I was like, dude,
437
00:22:19.589 --> 00:22:23.470
that's like Jim Hammond would eat that up that turn.
438
00:22:23.690 --> 00:22:26.599
And I could only pull the combo off a few times,
439
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:28.319
but it was fun to try and get it because
440
00:22:28.339 --> 00:22:30.900
you could still win other ways. And then if you
441
00:22:30.920 --> 00:22:34.519
could possibly get Nick Fury to drop some six-costers in
442
00:22:34.559 --> 00:22:37.160
your hand, and then that turn six, you've got all
443
00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:39.740
this power in the world to drop anything that you want.
444
00:22:40.819 --> 00:22:41.599
It could be useful.
445
00:22:41.619 --> 00:22:42.259
Oh, yeah.
446
00:22:42.940 --> 00:22:45.509
So, I did have a lot of respect for Doc
447
00:22:45.619 --> 00:22:49.349
Ock Fractured Frontier. At first, I remember last month thinking,
448
00:22:50.170 --> 00:22:52.849
what am I going to use this for? It's clearly
449
00:22:53.549 --> 00:22:58.180
folding in with the whole... fractured frontier thing and the
450
00:22:58.220 --> 00:23:00.359
quick draw so if you got a quick draw card
451
00:23:00.420 --> 00:23:02.319
in your hand you can put it back on top
452
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.079
of your deck and then that way you can draw
453
00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:06.720
it again and use it just in case you weren't
454
00:23:06.769 --> 00:23:09.190
able to use it before but then afterwards i was
455
00:23:09.250 --> 00:23:11.809
like well shoot maybe there is actually something else i
456
00:23:11.829 --> 00:23:14.289
can use this for and that's what i ended up
457
00:23:14.329 --> 00:23:16.789
figuring out i i actually i like the card a
458
00:23:16.829 --> 00:23:20.849
lot so anyway all right that was my final tangent.
459
00:23:20.630 --> 00:23:24.900
What's next okay let's see so then i got John Jang,
460
00:23:25.029 --> 00:23:26.910
Iron Man, which I think was one of the Portal
461
00:23:27.150 --> 00:23:32.730
variants in a game mode. Dardo Studios Gamora. A Wild
462
00:23:32.809 --> 00:23:36.490
Blue Apocalypse, which I can't quite describe it. It looks cool.
463
00:23:36.650 --> 00:23:41.930
It looks like a combination somewhere between a grittier comic
464
00:23:41.970 --> 00:23:44.700
book style and the X-Men animated style.
465
00:23:44.720 --> 00:23:47.200
Okay. I was going to say, it sounds like Pokemon
466
00:23:47.220 --> 00:23:47.519
to me.
467
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:54.910
There you go. I got a Michael Ivan Kang... A
468
00:23:55.009 --> 00:23:58.730
Nicola C. Silver Sable and Nicola C. Green Goblin. Ooh.
469
00:23:59.730 --> 00:24:05.309
Got a Julian Del Rey Spider-Ham, which is... kind of
470
00:24:05.329 --> 00:24:07.369
feels like an indie Spider-Ham.
471
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:08.410
Okay.
472
00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:12.880
Got a Wild Blue Agent 13, which actually somehow managed
473
00:24:12.940 --> 00:24:16.980
to dislodge the Alex Ross Iron Patriot Agent 13. Oh, wow.
474
00:24:17.019 --> 00:24:20.019
Not because it's better, but just for a little change
475
00:24:20.079 --> 00:24:20.440
of pace.
476
00:24:20.859 --> 00:24:21.099
Sure.
477
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:25.240
I did Gold Split Bullseye, which... Finished my Tom Golden deck.
478
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:26.779
Very nice.
479
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.140
I got the Dardo Studios Nebula, a Pandart thing.
480
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:32.799
That must have been, what was the thing that had
481
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:36.000
to have been the prize in something? Because I think
482
00:24:36.019 --> 00:24:36.980
we all got that one.
483
00:24:37.799 --> 00:24:41.480
Yeah, I do not remember. And then I went back
484
00:24:41.549 --> 00:24:44.609
to the Series 5 thinking, man, there's still a couple
485
00:24:44.630 --> 00:24:44.910
of those.
486
00:24:44.970 --> 00:24:46.390
Gotta get that Psylocke.
487
00:24:46.730 --> 00:24:49.829
Brand new day card. I'd really like Psylocke. I got
488
00:24:49.869 --> 00:24:51.450
Jane Foster, Fractured Frontier.
489
00:24:51.710 --> 00:24:52.609
Judge the Worthy.
490
00:24:54.130 --> 00:24:57.420
I used her somewhere. I can't quite remember. Probably just
491
00:24:57.500 --> 00:25:00.240
a regular boost type deck. And she's one of those
492
00:25:00.259 --> 00:25:01.700
that I'm like, yeah, I could use her. And then
493
00:25:01.720 --> 00:25:05.000
I always veer off somewhere else. Got a, let's see,
494
00:25:05.059 --> 00:25:08.980
Gold Split Gambit Horseman of Death. Now I'm trying to
495
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:11.440
Gold Split my Arishem deck.
496
00:25:11.460 --> 00:25:13.539
I don't know what it's going to be like when
497
00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.819
I Gold Split something. It's been forever since I've Gold
498
00:25:16.859 --> 00:25:18.119
Split something. It's crazy.
499
00:25:18.140 --> 00:25:20.259
It's because you don't go to Infinite, man.
500
00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:23.150
Well, it's because I'm... too dedicated.
501
00:25:23.390 --> 00:25:26.839
It's because of this commie upgrade scam you've got.
502
00:25:26.930 --> 00:25:27.779
Yeah.
503
00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:32.460
I got a Brett Bean man spider where he looks
504
00:25:32.500 --> 00:25:33.259
kind of like an animal.
505
00:25:33.279 --> 00:25:35.400
Yes, he's playing the drums. That's a great.
506
00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:37.160
Did you get that one last time? Yeah. I think
507
00:25:37.180 --> 00:25:38.839
you described him as animal last time. I was looking
508
00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:41.029
at him like, he looks like animal. Yeah. That sounds familiar.
509
00:25:42.250 --> 00:25:43.869
I got a Dan Hip Cerebro.
510
00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:44.910
Okay.
511
00:25:45.269 --> 00:25:46.460
Where he's giving you the thumbs up.
512
00:25:46.470 --> 00:25:47.349
I like that.
513
00:25:48.069 --> 00:25:52.569
Let's see. I ink split a Fin Fang Foom. Got
514
00:25:52.619 --> 00:25:58.289
a Pandart Loki. Got an AJ Nazaro Sauron. Went back
515
00:25:58.329 --> 00:26:01.089
to the Seasonal Series 5 well and got Mary Jane.
516
00:26:01.970 --> 00:26:02.509
Okay.
517
00:26:03.349 --> 00:26:08.269
Still no Psylocke. Got the Rosebesh variant of Nightcrawler, which
518
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:11.069
is Nightcrawler in his Spider-Man suit.
519
00:26:11.750 --> 00:26:12.109
Okay.
520
00:26:12.730 --> 00:26:13.670
Which is very cool.
521
00:26:13.849 --> 00:26:14.150
Yeah.
522
00:26:15.730 --> 00:26:22.390
Got a George Kamadeus Firehair. Then Hellcow Fractured Frontier, who
523
00:26:22.450 --> 00:26:25.509
I just have not quite brought myself to use. He
524
00:26:25.789 --> 00:26:27.950
would fit really well with Annihilus, obviously.
525
00:26:27.970 --> 00:26:28.529
Yeah.
526
00:26:28.769 --> 00:26:29.150
Or she.
527
00:26:29.170 --> 00:26:30.430
Oh, yeah.
528
00:26:30.450 --> 00:26:35.150
Yeah, it's definitely a she. Danhip Leech. Then I got
529
00:26:35.289 --> 00:26:38.599
the variant at the end of the season pass, which
530
00:26:38.670 --> 00:26:41.380
is the Thanos Fractured Frontier variant.
531
00:26:42.380 --> 00:26:42.799
Gosh.
532
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:45.720
At least it's not a chibi. It does look cool. Yeah.
533
00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:49.640
For one of my Series 5 packs that I got...
534
00:26:50.069 --> 00:26:54.519
From draft, I got Insaba Nur. Have not tried him
535
00:26:54.599 --> 00:26:59.019
out yet. I got a protege variant of Kate Bishop Hawkeye.
536
00:26:59.460 --> 00:26:59.819
Okay.
537
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.319
With Clint Barton standing on the rooftop with her. My
538
00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:07.369
other series five pack from draft, I got Aranya.
539
00:27:07.720 --> 00:27:08.089
Okay.
540
00:27:08.930 --> 00:27:12.369
And I've been using her in a, let's see. A
541
00:27:12.529 --> 00:27:16.769
spider-heavy move deck, so using her a lot in that.
542
00:27:17.049 --> 00:27:19.869
Out of nowhere, I got the Winter Vacation Captain America. Okay.
543
00:27:21.430 --> 00:27:27.359
This patriotic sweater. A Jimbo Salgado Mr. Fantastic that looks
544
00:27:27.410 --> 00:27:29.880
like it was pulled from a comic or something else
545
00:27:29.900 --> 00:27:31.920
because you can see, like, a flame trail for the
546
00:27:31.980 --> 00:27:34.799
torch off to the side, so it looks like it
547
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:36.980
was taken from art, used for something else.
548
00:27:37.299 --> 00:27:38.220
Oh, all right.
549
00:27:38.990 --> 00:27:41.049
A Brett Bean Infinity Ultron.
550
00:27:41.579 --> 00:27:44.079
I think I have that one, I think.
551
00:27:45.019 --> 00:27:49.160
Let's see. Max Greki Supergiant. Supergiant, a card that I
552
00:27:49.180 --> 00:27:50.400
always keep meaning to try.
553
00:27:51.640 --> 00:27:56.960
That's a tough ability to make use of. But I've
554
00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:59.349
seen somebody put something on Reddit one time where I
555
00:27:59.390 --> 00:28:01.849
was like, oh my goodness, that was really cool.
556
00:28:02.480 --> 00:28:05.839
Supergiant helped out. Somebody used Supergiant against me, and I'm like, daggone,
557
00:28:05.859 --> 00:28:07.180
I want to try that. And I think I made
558
00:28:07.220 --> 00:28:10.599
the deck, but I must not have much luck with it. Okay,
559
00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:15.319
then I got a Megan Hetrick Cape Bishop Hawkeye. A
560
00:28:15.420 --> 00:28:18.900
He-Tian Yu Colleen Wing, which is cool, but it's over
561
00:28:18.940 --> 00:28:26.849
most of the Colleen Wing variants. I got that Chibi Hobgoblin. A... Oh, okay, sorry,
562
00:28:26.869 --> 00:28:30.069
I jumped ahead. Yeah, I finished typing all this out,
563
00:28:30.109 --> 00:28:31.390
and now I'm just scrolling through my.
564
00:28:32.990 --> 00:28:37.950
Most recent cards. Got a Creative House Pocket Malekith. Really
565
00:28:38.029 --> 00:28:41.509
ought to try using him sometime. Ink Split Jim Hammond
566
00:28:41.549 --> 00:28:45.900
Human Torch. Went back for Seasonal Series 5. I'm like, yeah,
567
00:28:45.940 --> 00:28:50.480
come on, Psylocke. Maybe a Red Hulk. There was somebody
568
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:53.839
I was still wanting from Brand New Day. And I
569
00:28:53.920 --> 00:28:54.799
can't remember.
570
00:28:54.819 --> 00:28:55.299
Or Death.
571
00:28:57.569 --> 00:28:58.789
No, I actually got more.
572
00:28:58.809 --> 00:28:59.210
That's right.
573
00:28:59.289 --> 00:29:02.190
Fractured Frontier. I'd had her used on me a couple times.
574
00:29:02.250 --> 00:29:05.710
Maybe even Scorpion. I don't like the look, but I
575
00:29:05.759 --> 00:29:08.960
got smacked around by him plenty. Or even Spider-Man Brand
576
00:29:09.000 --> 00:29:12.279
New Day gave me another movable card. Try Aunt May again.
577
00:29:13.119 --> 00:29:14.829
And I got Red Wolf Fractured Frontier.
578
00:29:15.630 --> 00:29:16.470
What's he do again?
579
00:29:17.390 --> 00:29:21.029
Definitely a thing. Let me see. No, I have used him.
580
00:29:21.190 --> 00:29:23.230
I did put him in a deck. Okay, on reveal,
581
00:29:23.269 --> 00:29:25.339
plus one power for each card in your hand. Quick draw,
582
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:27.940
give your hand plus one power. So he is useful.
583
00:29:28.180 --> 00:29:29.559
He's in my Rampage deck.
584
00:29:29.920 --> 00:29:30.359
Okay.
585
00:29:30.460 --> 00:29:32.160
I forget who was in there originally, but yeah, he
586
00:29:32.200 --> 00:29:37.190
fits in nicely in that. But again, other than Thanos himself, like,
587
00:29:38.089 --> 00:29:40.660
if I had to rank my top three... cards that
588
00:29:40.720 --> 00:29:44.140
I wanted from the Fractured Frontier season, they're the three
589
00:29:44.180 --> 00:29:44.680
I don't have.
590
00:29:46.369 --> 00:29:46.609
Yeah.
591
00:29:46.890 --> 00:29:49.190
It was a good season. There were lots of good cards,
592
00:29:49.230 --> 00:29:50.809
but it was just kind of funny. It's like, really?
593
00:29:50.849 --> 00:29:53.549
Not even one of them? But let's see. I'll finish
594
00:29:53.589 --> 00:29:57.490
that off with a Chibi, Jim Hammond, Human Torch, a Pandart, Sauron.
595
00:29:58.509 --> 00:30:00.049
And a negative space Ms.
596
00:30:00.089 --> 00:30:00.509
Marvel.
597
00:30:00.930 --> 00:30:04.289
Okay. And a new X-Men Beast, which I'm not sure
598
00:30:04.329 --> 00:30:06.519
which iteration of the new X-Men, because.
599
00:30:07.119 --> 00:30:09.680
We'll say, does he look like a panther or whatever?
600
00:30:09.700 --> 00:30:12.819
Yeah, it's cool, and it's that incarnation of the Beast,
601
00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:15.059
but when I think new X-Men Beast, I think the
602
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:18.769
black and yellow jackets that made their appearance on X-Men 97.
603
00:30:18.769 --> 00:30:20.309
I think the Mortis run, and this was a little
604
00:30:20.390 --> 00:30:23.890
after that. Anyway, it looks cool. Again, Beast has so
605
00:30:23.910 --> 00:30:26.750
many good variants. But there you go, a long and
606
00:30:26.809 --> 00:30:30.910
winding road. Get us there. I apologize again for my
607
00:30:31.009 --> 00:30:32.390
absolute disorganization.
608
00:30:32.410 --> 00:30:36.130
Don't worry about it. All right. Any other things on
609
00:30:36.170 --> 00:30:37.849
the meta? I know I went on, but did you
610
00:30:37.890 --> 00:30:39.930
have anything you wanted to add to what you've already said?
611
00:30:40.410 --> 00:30:42.859
No, I like draft. It felt like there were a
612
00:30:42.859 --> 00:30:45.759
little too many extra modes this season, but.
613
00:30:45.779 --> 00:30:48.480
Nate specifically came out and said, hey guys, we noticed
614
00:30:48.500 --> 00:30:50.660
you really like these. Get ready, because we're going to
615
00:30:50.680 --> 00:30:51.259
be a lot of them.
616
00:30:51.359 --> 00:30:54.750
But not all of them had... new cards to get,
617
00:30:54.769 --> 00:30:56.849
so it's not like they were a must-play, which I liked.
618
00:30:56.890 --> 00:30:59.170
If you're going to ratchet it up, don't make people
619
00:30:59.190 --> 00:31:01.250
feel like they have to, and they didn't, so I
620
00:31:01.970 --> 00:31:03.250
enjoyed them. Like I said, I thought it was a
621
00:31:03.250 --> 00:31:07.329
little odd, but I don't... The only thing that I
622
00:31:07.349 --> 00:31:08.869
would say, and I want to suggest this as a
623
00:31:08.990 --> 00:31:12.150
top five game modes, but my favorite game mode, even
624
00:31:12.170 --> 00:31:14.009
though I don't play it as often as I probably should,
625
00:31:14.069 --> 00:31:17.319
remains the friendly battles where you can actually play against people,
626
00:31:17.730 --> 00:31:19.839
and it will be cool to be able to do
627
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:22.420
some of these modes in a friendly mode, like High
628
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:25.579
Voltage Overdrive, or draft, or something like that. Now, I
629
00:31:25.619 --> 00:31:28.420
don't know the logistics of that or whatever, and I'm
630
00:31:28.440 --> 00:31:31.039
still having fun with it, but that's what I would
631
00:31:31.079 --> 00:31:34.119
want before we get another game mode is an opportunity
632
00:31:34.160 --> 00:31:37.599
to play some of these in friendly course. I don't
633
00:31:37.640 --> 00:31:39.140
know how difficult that would be to make it a
634
00:31:39.160 --> 00:31:42.180
temporary thing, and if you make some of these available
635
00:31:42.220 --> 00:31:45.240
all the time, then it loses the appeal of the
636
00:31:45.259 --> 00:31:48.180
special events. So there's probably reasons. It's not a complaint
637
00:31:48.240 --> 00:31:49.940
more of it. It'll make this even better.
638
00:31:50.160 --> 00:31:54.369
Yeah, let's improve it. Let's improve it. All right, well,
639
00:31:54.390 --> 00:31:56.230
there you go, ladies and gentlemen. That is our discussion
640
00:31:56.269 --> 00:31:59.480
on the meta and our unlocks. Thanks a lot for
641
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:01.920
joining us. Make sure to tune in tomorrow for the
642
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:04.779
next installment of Snap Materials.
