I belive this was by far the strongest card i got in the sanctum draft. Not saying that there arent stronger ones. Needless to say i won all games after i got him by a landslide. I even felt a little sorry for it.

Our 5 most likely nerfs for the October 15 OTA, ordered by confidence. We don't expect all 5 to get nerfed, they're just the 5 most likely per our algorithm.

Caliban and ESN both hit 98 this OTA, and are almost always run alongside APM. Thanos FF and Scorp BND are both still at 94 after their nerfs.

Our "6th man" is Captain Marvel.

Did you like the rewards?

At this point I'm just variant hunting. I haven't really kept up with the meta.

For the opponent and player I've noticed in my game and a couple streamers games this past week that the animation hasn't been going off but he is still buffing.

It seemed super sneaky as a couple people I've played the past week may have been exploiting then turn 6 a stealth buffed Galactus just gets played like, "when did his herald get played?!"

It's still the biggest and most generous event in the game, even though they've toned down the rewards. But the saddest part for me personally is that they've taken all the fun out of the event, because playing it in combination with the Sanctum scoring system wasn't fun at all.

I didn't buy a Premium Pass, and I played only 44 matches (compared to 93 matches last time) with this record:

I hope that when the Draft returns next time, they won't undergo even more experiments. After all, at its core, it's a really cool and fun event.

Venom in mentor and regeneration is way to cracked

Don't get me wrong. I generally find Snap to be a pretty generous game, especially by mobile standards. But the value they put some things at is generally baffling to me, and feels borderline insulting at worst.

There's some decent bundles out there! This just isn't one of them. But I've shelled out once or twice over the years for $20 bundles. And sometimes I can even understand certain $50 ones, even if I haven't done it.. but this one? I dunno man.

Genuinely curious. Has anyone ever bought this? No judgment! Just curious to see if there's even a market for this kind of deal.

Thanks:

First, there is no way I would have achieved the results I did without help from the community. I love this game, but even more, I love the people and communities that have been brought together because of it. This post is mainly a thanks to everyone who I have connected with, played with, or talked strategy with over the years, including:

>>>A big thanks to Ika and our discord community. After my performance at GG Q3 (sad), Ika made a promise to practice with me and even with his more condensed schedule, he delivered.

Games

Thoughts on the tourney:

Saturday was outstanding for me, and it still feels a little unreal that I went 6-0. It was the result of a lot of practice and a lot of help from my community.

I streamed for 7 hours, and I think it helped by keeping me focused and alert. Every match until the 5th round was extremely sweaty, and then some luck finally broke my way. In round 2, my game crashed and I disconnected, which tilted me for a moment, but I shook it off quickly. I also came back from large cube deficits in multiple rounds, and there are few better feelings than winning after clawing your way back.

This deck is fairly well known, so I won’t spend time breaking it down, but I’m happy to answer any questions.

This result was the culmination of four or five months of refining this list. In the Pixel Discord, we’ve been working out what performs best for each unique meta moment. Superior Iron Man, Queen of Chaos, and Vampire Killmonger each pushed the deck up a level, but they also made it a bigger target. That almost convinced me to switch lists. After a lot of deliberation, I trusted my experience to carry me through, and it did, until I faced Fudge in the quarterfinals.

In the moment, I was extremely disappointed that I couldn’t maneuver past the matchup, but sometimes it just happens. I took some risky plays trying to play around Mobius and Shadow King, and they didn’t pay off. This might be where the streaming caught up to me as well and after the match I was exhausted.

It took a lot for me to get here, and that’s okay! Some people can pick up a deck hours before and demolish the field, but the rest of us can still make it if we remember RETREAT RETREAT RETREAT. Until you retreat your way out of the tourney.

My biggest tip for fellow ADHDers: get one of these and update it with the cards you need to remember in each matchup.

Overall, I’m happy with my prep and my list.

TLDR: Guy goes 6-0, makes the quarterfinals, and wants to brag about his community, and himself.

Show off yours please!!! I want to know if I can count her finalized or if I like someone else’s more

Their offer for being a "top ranked" player is $54 for a set of 12 borders same for hitting infinite is but different borders. Are people seriously hitting infinite then rushing to spend $54 on a cosmetic?!? If this was $10 I'd maybe consider buying it on a whim and having a good laugh at the idea that I'm somehow a top ranked player in this game but the amount I'm willing to spend for a laugh isn't that high

So, I held back from claiming my final 5-wins run and force close the game to wait out daily reset. Testing if we can still get another PMV after event ended.

And the result is: perfect variant for the season.

I don't have Galactus yet but on my final Draft run I got offered Galactus. Quickly went 4-0 and not once drawing the card to play it. Took 1 loss after a misplay on my part and then was offered FFF.

Got matched up against a nasty Deadpool deck until the RNG gods finally decided to bless me.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't my opponent still have a turn left?

(please remove this augment)

Haven't applied any, will probably apply to Rescue and Quinjet. Might pick up some extras for Havok, Goliath, or HERBIE.

Can’t decide which one is better….????
