BEST TOKEN SHOP CARDS | Season Review | The Snap Chat Podcast

[@kingsnail1005]

Let’s admit it, the best new card of the season was hell cow

[@GFlight.916]

War Machine*

[@batmanwins5701]

I'm pretty partial to arana. It's not a meta changer but it has made its way into several decks I play and is an improvement to each of them.

[@batmanwins5701]

​@@GFlight.916 ooh yeah war machine is sick now!

[@supersimplemarketing]

LOL you’re not wrong

[@PartyPoison06]

This season felt so long that i was surprised to realize silver sable was released this month

[@GoodnewsIbhafidon]

So true I'm soo glad it's all coming to an end

[@Eezylon]

Ong the ssm hype died down and it went straight to madem web. Leaving sable low key

[@LFanimes333]

It passed real fast to me. Pretty sure that’s more related to your real life than anything else lmao.

[@SirBMW82]

It felt long because it was painful with bad OTA's. They didn't care to put it that way and would rather say "it's been shaken up" but in reality the month was bombed because of really badly poorly timed updates.

[@LFanimes333]

@@SirBMW82 Saying the OTA was “nothing” just shows you’re terrible at the game. Saying it was bad is a whole another thing. I definitely think it was ass for leaving Clog untouched. That said, the Hela nerf DID kick her deck in the balls. It made a two combo piece into a MANDATORY three combo piece. This is vital for consistency. And the results are there to prove it. She was left out and now Clog dominates even harder lmao.

[@dragoonheart]

"Telegraphed" I think works better than "choreographed".

[@HellShoot]

I do agree with Alex saying that Copycat change makes the card feel worse, it also killed the card in Mill. Also, I want the old Loki play-style back. I don't care for the numbers right now, the old play-style was so good and unique. Now, Loki is only used to reduce Arishem's deck size

[@ledsenkatt]

I want the 4/5 Loki but remove the discounts. He already runs quinjet and it fixes every problem. Loki comes back as an archetype and is much more bearable for the opponent, and Arishem loses the synergy. The current Loki feels awful to play. 2/2 when trying to cheat out many cards feels like a waste of board space and then it's also luck which cards you draw, which feels even worse to lose to

[@LFanimes333]

@@HellShoot I mean, the change just made it so it became what it was always supposed to be. Copycat was ridiculously busted in her initial rendition. To begin with, that was supposed to be Mystique’s power.

[@habijjj]

​@@ledsenkattexcept no one will play loki if you remove the power the moment you don't pull quinjet loki feels bad.

[@jacobmarroquin9522]

@@HellShoot I miss Loki too. Card is just dead now ☹️

[@ledsenkatt]

@@habijjj Yeah, it would probably be better to not make them stack then. But then it's back to the start with Arishem. People complained about Loki a lot and that's the argument I hear. Usually I only feel bad losing to Loki is when I'm trying a unique deck.

[@jordanriley9813]

The word you were looking for Is telegraph. Not choreograph lol

[@AlexanderCoccia]

bruh :C

[@MmentoMori]

They got you to comment, and now me too. Mission accomplished. It's their whole conversation that's choreographed for engagement.

Props to Alex Silver Sable was the best card of the month and almost no other creator called it, take a victory lap.

[@joseph2000117]

It's crazy Hela has more power than Spectrum lol

[@NoNameOrLife]

ikr now u just need a luke cage tho without it you kinda struggle

[@judson5203]

Still pretty good tho the hell cow nerf will affect it harder tbh​@@NoNameOrLife

[@NoNameOrLife]

@@judson5203 yeah the hellcow nerf is harsh i think its worse than just non activate old hellcow

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I keep pinning different cards constantly because I'm constantly changing my mind thinking I really want a card, then not so much later, especially when you on the Snapchat talk about how good a certain card I don't own is!😂

[@Eezylon]

This is me buying hope in the token shop last night after looking through the old” must buy cards, token shop buys” snapchats.😭 just for them to drop a new one today I hope they still think highly of her

[@Astrojammer]

I love Madame Webb and Arana, but this season has been a slog and the most difficult and annoying meta in a while.

[@LFanimes333]

Clog being clog. Ironically, this was the season I reached top-500 just by snapping literally every game and beating clog. Clog fells ass to play against, but at the end of the day, it’s rather predictable and not that strong. White Widow still needs a nerf, tho. Yet another one.

[@harknerd1775]

Galactus is a fun card, but I don't like how it reduces the amount of Season Pass XP you get. You get 10 XP per won location, and when only one is in a contest, that can be a significant reduction long-term

[@js5869]

Wait, for real? I never knew that.

[@harknerd1775]

@js5869 Yep 1XP per turn played and 10XP per location won.

[@haysoncw]

Im glad this season is over. It just felt like a slog to play through and wasn't fun. Hopefully this new season can make things better and bring the spark back. If not i feel like i need to take a break, the burnout feeling is real.

[@Drewsky.]

I strangely had the same feeling. I’ve been playing for over a year and this is as the first time it made me feel like that. What was with this season? Haha

[@batmanwins5701]

Weird I'm totally the opposite, one of my favorite seasons this year.

[@garylangford6755]

Yep I didn't play once all season

[@DanielRomero-qe5lk]

Last month with Loki-Arishem and this month with Hela make me so tired honestly thinking not playing this season

[@freeofgreed]

Gotta give ALex credit. He had the most accurate predictions out of every content creator. Even I thought he was nuts, but he ended up being pretty dead on.

[@JET2024]

Alex said that all the Junk in the meta is what is hurting Madame Web but that's what is really hurting Symbiote Spider-Man. I believe that's why his win/cube rate is low. I killed with SSM his release week. But then the meta shifted to a Counter (Cosmo)/Junk meta.

[@alz397]

Freaking love you guys!!! 100th episode indeed and an awesome one at that. Always get me through my work days on Mondays 🥳😎💪🏽!

[@Mr_Paw_revised]

My two biggest discoveries this year: Marvel SNAP and The Snap Chat podcast. Made my year guys, definitely.

[@reckless818]

Scarlet spider just feels bad to play on 4 they need to make him a 3 energy card he would feel so much better

[@NeroTheMana]

Kinda wish Jeff was immune to having his power lowered: as he is too cute to harm

[@TheHatefulHulk]

Congrats on 100. Much love my dudes!

[@bigowl2542]

Congratulations on 100 episodes! I’ve loved them all, this is my go to snap content. You are both so good. Always bringing the positivity, fun to listen too and a good view on what’s happening in snap. Long may the snapchat continue ❤

[@poentecontente]

Congrats on the 100th! Love the show!

[@DeputyNomNoms]

Calling it now, many of us skipped on Scarlet Spider and it gets a buff next month

[@Beek35]

Alex, do you think Loki would be better as like a 2/2 activate that said “Replace your hand with 3 cards from your opponent’s deck. They cost 1 less.” That way you can’t do moon girl nonsense and it can be more fun and immediate than it is right now.

[@joseph2000117]

Mailbag: Forget activate, the steal keyword is and continues to be the best "new" keyword in the game. If you could come up with a new steal card what would it be?

[@UnsolvedParadox]

Congrats on 100 episodes!

[@bradblevins1961]

I would love to see the token shop done as a tier ranking. The amount of series 4 and 5 cards would probably take awhile though. Thanks as always Alex!!!

[@AcePlaysTCGs]

I'm sure they could always do a tier list for Series 4 and Series 5 separately or even a Top 5 or Top 10 list. Since Series 4 and Series 5 have different costs in the token shop, doing them separately might actually be better.

[@ErikRedin]

Congrats on 100 episodes, Alex!

[@hamsmcham3238]

I think the reason why scarlet spider and symbiote's loss rate is from weekend missions and trying to force them in

[@icon4634]

SD really fumbled with card text this season. Araña has the exact same text as Firge, with move added on, and that card works in the exact opposite order than Forge.

[@DeckiDance]

I played snap for a couple months just over a year ago. And randomly got the snap chat in my KZbin algorithms and decided to watch them and see what's happening in the game, I've been hard playing the game for the past 4 months and tune in every Monday. Keep it up guys ❤

[@seth5847]

Welcome! Alex and Cozy are the best Marvel Snap content makers

[@casualgamer8722]

I feel like the biggest issue with activate is not being able to activate till the following turn so it’s play isn’t till at best the turn after while just being raw stats the moment you play it. If activate gets a rework where you have the option to activate on the same turn you play it’ll really help activate. Playing activate cards on T6 is nothing but an average stated card.

[@MrMarnel]

I think a factor that wasn't touched here is that season pass cards seem slower or rarer to show up in Spotlight Caches, therefore buying them with tokens is a much more alluring prospect. For f2p players saving up and waiting for their season to end is the fastest way to acquire a card like Gwen and Kate Bishop, I personally bought both of them in September. But in general when friends ask me what to buy with tokens, as long as they have somewhat of a collection already, I usually recommend finding a deck they like and working towards it. Like, if you enjoy zoo you really should get Gilgamesh and Mockingbird asap and those are more likely to improve your experience playing the game than, say, Red Guardian, even if he's kind of a staple. Not like you need 100% copied decks to play the game anyway, unexpected tech is very powerful in Snap. Nocturne has been dropped from many midrange decks since her nerf in favour of the other 3-drops but I still run her and am still very pleased with her. This kinda goes into buff/nerf overreaction by the playerbase though, which is a separate topic. Maybe for a future Snap Chat? :D

[@Devillionaire]

I've been playing offensive move to toss opponents around like ragdolls forever. It's super fun. Kingpin, Kraven, Spider-Man, Polaris, Stegron, Cannonball, Aero, Magneto, etc. I'm stoked for Scream, but a little bummed that the masses are finally gonna figure out how fun that deck is. Bring on the mirror matches!

[@demontamerbf18]

Ngl, I've quit the game a few times and the Snap Chat has been one of the reasons why I come back.

[@jsalinas2068]

After wasting 3 keys and not getting the new card (instead getting variants I didn't like and a duplicate card) am taking a break until they make card acquisition less painfull and crazy expensive

[@deliro8758]

[@kevinheger7001]

2 weeks in a row for me getting duplicates, I was furious. 1000 tokens is NOT enough of a consolation prize

[@ManOlantern12]

Sable was card of the month Thanos is one of the worst series 5 cards. The pick between him and Galactus is about as easy as it gets.

[@Trocify225]

That’s because thanos requires you to actually think about what you’re doing compared to other decks

[@daniacha2161]

All cards except Silver Sable have fallen short. They didn't survive the overhype. For me: Symbiote Spider-Man 3⭐ now with 4⭐potential. Plan B with Nimrod and Namora. Too telegraphed, too weak to Clog and locations cluttering the board. And honestly, a boring card for me. Silver Sable 4⭐ and 5⭐ in Bounce. Simply a perfect card. She gave us what we expected. Good buy with tokens. Madame Web 4⭐right now in a Clog world but a 5⭐ star in the future because she is a unique card, that not only changes the way we play Move, she has also made powerful hybrid decks with a small move package. I would buy it with tokens. Araña 3'5⭐ Madame Web, Nico's Spell and Grapple Arrow can Move It to the right too so it's not as unique. I wouldn't spend tokens. But its a nice card to have. She improves Madame Web and Phoenix Force decks. Scarlet Spider 3⭐ Perfectly fine card. But we live in a meta of big numbers and Clog, so it falls way short. Few synergies. I wouldn't spend resources on him.

[@seth5847]

This is EXTREMELY accurate. Like I've played for an entire YEAR NOW starting in September of 2023 when Loki first came out, took a break for this season and I don't feel behind at all, like MAYBE I'll get scarlet spider or Madame Web with tokens in the future

[@ZestWispa]

Mailbag Q - Is aero actually underplayed/underrated? Using her with scream decks this week she won me so many games for just pulling their combo apart or pulling the last giant card they played into a lane you know they are gonna play the next giant card. I've won games pulling nimrod away from attuma, ironman away from onslaught. She has been super fun to use again

[@terrencex3885]

Alex, I think there should be a card that when moved, it buffs your cards at the location it moved to. I think it would open up a zoo ish style move archetype that goes wide without tribunal. Curious to hear your thoughts

[@TheDoddridge]

It’s good to keep in mind the value cards have for players with incomplete decks. Symbiote Spider-Man and Silver Sable are both competent drop ins for off-meta decks.

[@TheDoddridge]

She’s my go-to one drop when I’m trying a new deck from scratch now.

I'm surprised clog was not nerfed, viper being 3/4 would make sense now, maybe give cannonball his nerf back. Clog has too many tools now and is arguuably much worse to play against than hela

Nerfing Cannonball is dumb. Leave him alone. Just delete Debri and nerf White Widow. That’s all.

[@dpearson588]

The reason the activate cards fell flat is that you can't activate the same turn you play. So many times both of the spidermans were terrible b/c i couldn't use them when i had them available. Activate should be used to make something more flexible, not restrictive. 4/5 cost cards as activate are going to be tough. Hell cow works well b/c you have a card you want to play on 6 that needs it.

[@Trocify225]

Not true whatsoever hellcow is like that because hela is braindead

I'm not the biggest fan of the "this oe that" style of token shop talk. Would've really liked a top 5 or top 10 list considering how meta focused the game is as Cozy said. Sometimes I never know where to put my priorities and it would be nice to have some feedback without comparing each one to Arishem. That's the one card I know I DON'T want, but knowing where to best soend the resources right now would be very helpful.

[@Cornan1980]

This season was an especially strong let down after the relative joy of the previous season. Nothing really special and nothing that felt compelling to play. Considering how hard it is to get new cards, cards that don't pop aren't going to get played.

[@JadeRapt0r]

Move is a great place now. I don't believe changing how move works is a good idea (or the structure of how cards are scaled) and making web a better card in other architype is either. A 2/3 web, that is just a better jeff, in my opinion (feel free to disagree). Move shouldn't have to take a hit for web to be better in other decks. It would be sad if move was made mid. The point of move is to think more through how and when one is going to play there cards. Hence, one wrong move with move can really damange one's board state.
