[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you for watching! You should join our wonderful community live on Twitch! www.twitch.tv/alexandercoccia I also just realized that I didn't elaborate much on my statement about tokens and the "token Tuesday" bundles. As of RIGHT NOW, the cost (and return) from buying Token Tuesdays has been greatly reduced from when Token Tuesdays was original launched. Tokens are very, very scarce, and as a new player, you are best saving your tokens for impactful new cards that are released into Series 4 for 3000 tokens. The problem with the Token Tuesday bundles is that they wildly overprice the Tokens themselves from a gold perspective, and gold is hard to come by. Gambling 1000 tokens as a new player on a random series 3 card in the shop isn't worth it. You are better off focusing on using credits to upgrade cards and progress through your collection track, collecting the cards along the way. Keep an eye out, though, because sometimes there are super cheap token Tuesday bundles that are worth it. Overall, though, predictable returns on high-value bundles are the best use for your gold.

[@Kitchenfam246]

Brother I’ve been trying to catch ur lives streams can’t seem to catch you what time do you start ur twitch stream. With time zone please!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

8:30pm Eastern Standard Time (Toronto)! Mondays usually around 9:30pm

[@WrinkledThumbs]

Thank you for the elaboration. Would the advice on Token Tuesday bundles change if you are series 3 complete? I have been buying them, but now my gold stash has been severely drained since the new system began.

[@wiziek]

or you just buy tuesday bundle 3-4 times for guaranted card series 4 card.

[@johnnyw4life]

I’ve played since global releases and I agree these type of videos needed a drastic update as the economy has changed so much. Great idea bro 👍🏻

[@AlexanderCoccia]

100% agree! A lot has changed

[@MattyTmusic]

So glad you mention not to spend gold on mission resets. That advice is actually posted on many forums online and I ended up buying so many mission resets that the game told me I maxed out per my “daily limit”. I wish I knew this sooner but it makes sense that it’s not a good use of gold. Thanks Alex .

[@KBRoller]

That depends on your goal. If you like playing missions, then it's not a waste to get more missions :)

[@user-dd2ht4ik5v]

It's not about whether you like or dont like doing missions. The whole point is to progress ur account in the most efficient way possible. If u keep wastin gold on mission refills u wont save enough gold to buy a bundle thats 10x the value of credits compared to the credits you would've gotten from the missions uve refilled.​@KBRoller

[@KBRoller]

@@user-dd2ht4ik5v"The whole point is to progress your account in the most efficient way possible." No, it's a game, the whole point is to have fun. I've never bought a bundle in my entire time playing the game. I refill missions because I enjoy playing for the missions. I could hold off just to get a bundle later, but since I don't care about the bundles, all I'd be doing is having less fun now in order to have less fun later 🤷‍♂

[@cameronwilliams2904]

Such a helpful video. Keen to see more of these on a regular basis cause it's such a big part of the game. Thanks heaps, Alex.

[@GunGrave0]

Glad to see you doing more beginner content Alex! I think it may be good to have at least one video per week for every player base.

[@johanduran7623]

You being a Teacher really shows here, the way you talk about topics and presents them to us is so familiar like when I was still going to university, it is easy to understand and digest these educational videos. This is awesome!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You are so welcome! Im glad it was easy to understand :D

[@west3Dgaming]

Didn't know you were a teacher. What subject?@@AlexanderCoccia

[@W1ngy]

I was just looking at one of his slides, and I just thought “wow. This was so much work to look good”. I appreciate the work

[@willemhugo920]

Alex is a teacher. You and me both, no wonder I like your videos.

[@jordanaustin95]

Alex! I started playing during the Modok season and for the first time I reached infinite yesterday! Such a great feeling as I got to 99 a few seasons ago but didn't get there in time. Thank you for all your helpful content that's taught me so much about this game. Btw I got there using a version of your anti meta she naut deck, so much fun!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Amazing! Congrats!!

[@wowwowwii]

Thanks for supporting the community. You, sir, are a super hero. Able to juggle a full-time job, post amazing content with consistency, stream live on Twitch, and not to mention personal life. No mere mortal can do that. Keep up the great work and wish you continued success in everything you do!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Much appreciated! You all make it worth it. The support I receive is truly remarkable

[@HurtBoX84]

New player here (3days) hands down the best video I have seen in my research of this game. I want to get as much info about the game before spending so thank you so much! You got my sub today!

[@garrettshah7469]

Been looking for something up to date, thank you!!

[@tphil5901]

Fantastic info dude! Video after video with immense value themselves

[@soundwavevr6164]

I'm spending gold on my favorite variants, but this is a useful guide for new players.

[@Aion08]

Same here! I’m almost collection complete and now upgrading my variants is what keeps me going

[@Troy-kc1ck]

I’m free to play player I only buy the best variant 1,200-700 Gold i have good cards collection as F2p

[@nikbell5288]

Great Guide, thanks Alex!

[@awareness007]

Alex is such a bundle of joy!

[@elbiggamehunter]

I played since mobile launch and stopped playing at the end of December. I’m back now, and this was hugely helpful for me! Thanks Alex!

[@uberlagh]

Great video, thanks for helping the community

[@matnic10]

bro u deserve a lot more of appreciation coz you're awesome. You've been really helping me a lot and we can really see you put your heart in what u do. Keep up with it.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I appreciate that!

[@LEWIS1992]

Thanks, this was very helpful!

[@galacho9]

I needed this video. Thanks Alex

[@rafaelmarques8438]

Great video alex, very helpfull, thanks for the good work.

[@kevingarland8086]

Another great vid. Loved the 24hr stream bro. U and Cozy r the reason I started playing Marvel Snap. And the reason I continue to play. U guys keep me enthused about the game. Thx!!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Appreciate that!!

[@RevolutionRNT]

great video. i really like the 10 min format

[@Pookiebear]

Thanks for the explanation Alex! Really enjoying you and Cozy with the weekly chats :D

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@will8677]

Great vid for new players. Thanks, dude.

[@Exocraze]

Thank you so much for this information, Alex. I had found the outdated information regarding mission resets, so I had been doing that and was like "this does feel bad, I wonder why this is the recommendation", and it all makes sense why now.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad I could help!

[@kenniepetersen95]

Honest take on the economy, I like it 💪🏻

[@iVAN_Nyc]

You’re the man. You helped me get to infinite for the first time!

[@SoleSan]

Very nice and informative video!

[@RyanMay94]

Incredible video, shame for me I went on the old advise of missions when I started 3 weeks ago, but now I know so will stake that gold moving forwards

[@sitka6414]

This was a fantastic guide great work as usual. What do you think about a beginner guide for the basics of deck building, I’m not new by any means but I struggle with that still

[@andrewgirard1688]

As a F2P player it sadly was never feasible to save for bundles even before they took gold out of the collection track, bundles are 99% of the time never worth it and then when its the 1% its still way too much gold for a F2P player to realistically collect, youd HAVE to be on top of data mines and even then its not really guaranteed, now its gonna be straight up impossible for F2P players to ever get bundles, you will hopefully maybe get a somewhat decent bundle once every 6 months like LITERALLY, the bundles just feel so scummy Great video tho Im glad to see beginner guide updates now that the system has massively changed, thank you very much

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Yeah it's a challenge. I wish there was more natural gold in the system. Hopefully weekend missions become more generous

[@paulehamilton5198]

I don't consider myself a beginner, but this video was beneficial to me. I love the videos on decks, but please keep making videos like this.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Good to know! Thanks for watching!!

[@kronixsmoke305]

Great vid Alex. I'm a CL 7800 missing 4 cards for complete ( JG, Echo,Howard, LD) I try to only spend on season pass. Since the change, I only spend my gold on 700 variants in store to unlock the 2k tokens. I only use my tokens on series 4 cards, and save SC for series 5. I enjoy this more than just saving gold for token Tuesday.

[@kronixsmoke305]

Secondary thought on this. If I buy cheap variants, It decreases pulling junk from reserves... 😂

[@stuartsilvagomez6495]

same, before the massive change with spotlight caches and removing gold from the collector's cache, I would save to buy specific bundles which would give me value and a nice variant, buuuut, with the way it is now, ,most decent bundles have become somewhat catered to whales, so I decided to spend my gold in variants, just like you do

[@nailinthefashion]

Thanks for this, it confirmed that the Miles bundle that recently came out was actually a good deal

[@Shax22132]

Thanks for the guide.

[@Viper76PL]

I guess I've been watching old guides thinking refreshing quests is a good value. Luckily I'm a relatively new player (600 collection level) and only did it like 3 times. Thank you for this PSA!

[@szuwen007]

Great advise for new players. Good idea to make an updated guide.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Glad you think so!

[@Bartosz_LoQ]

That's a cool and useful guide, but I have my own: 1. Wait for a Max Grecke variant that you don't own (you can also choose your own personal favourite) 2. Buy the variant

[@blackdragon132]

Wish I would have found this video sooner because I started playing during the steam release and been using the old advice of refreshing missions.

[@jonathancallaway2672]

That was great advice!!!! Thanks a million. I was wasting my gold completely

[@TheCzis]

solid video. what about gold for tokens? certain offers include them and there's token tuesday also

[@outphase78]

Thank you for helping us save money.

[@nikolastiscareno4963]

I appreciate the video Alex! However I would like to know your thoughts on the token Tuesdays and tokens in general because for me it’s been hard to value them since I am pool 3 complete and I do buy the battle pass every month so I’m getting 5 new cards every month due to the progression in the game but I feel like tokens are still valuable I just don’t know how valuable.

[@mrb66427]

What are your thoughts on Token Tuesday bundles for a player working toward Pool 3 completeness? Still missing ~30 pool 3 cards. Is there a more efficient way to spend the same gold?

[@theodorun9965]

It's probably a bad idea and very situational but what about using gold on mission refill to get to an extra spotlight cache for the card that I want?

[@Yilmaister]

This was useful even for a veteran like me! It pains me to see though how hard that economy change that came with the spotlight caches hurt f2p players. I feel like that era of "Nice, a new card, can't wait to play it next year" is back again.

[@Yilmaister]

F.e.: I skipped Living Tribunal and was able to get Silk, Spider-Ham and Spider-Man 2099 the week they came out, just by buying all the Token Tuesday bundles + the Tokens you got from reserves (I'm pool 3 complete, Tokens went nyoom)

[@TheRyanSena]

​@@Yilmaistersame man. I kept buying Token Tuesdays and Im pool 3 complete. I started playing at Silver Surfer season. Now im just missing 14 cards.

[@brandaohimself]

f2p is getting more cards than ever. They should be just fine

[@KRANYEN]

it's actually easier to get them from spotlight cache, as an f2p I was just looking at the new cards coming in, now I get them as well when I pull the cards I want from spotlight cache. I can't say it doesn't have its flaws, but it's much easier to access new cards than before.

[@TheRyanSena]

@@KRANYEN I agree. Before, you gained more tokens in the regular boxes but it was not that much... The only thing they need to balance now is what comes to Series 5 and Series 4. I think there is too much stuff just dropping in Series 5 and they are not pool dropping stuff. Im excited to get Jeff next week.

[@jeth3540]

I was honestly not expecting to agree with 100% of what you said, but man, you nailed everything in this video. Tokens are way over valued, credits are king for spotlights and progression.

[@ACEKING26]

Great Vid I still need my ZABU TIGER!

[@WillACarpenter]

Picked up the chibi iron man and jane foster bundle. Both are better looking than I expected.... And now I'm playing negative decks.

[@matthewmatyszczak1024]

Glad I watched this lol. I just got into snap again, I spent about 700 on rerolls to get my weekly challenge finished, but will hold off now for the future. Is gold only accumulated from the season pass now?

[@forrestruns4104]

So if I’m series 3 complete are the Tuesday booster bundle worth it? Or should I still just save for credits so I get more spotlight

[@matthewmatyszczak1024]

How should you use gold if you are at progression level 3,700 range? I still have some series 3 cards left, but am curious if bundles/progression are still supreme vs. getting your preferred variants when they appear in the shop.

[@thedimbot8154]

Didn't even know I had it in my head old advice. Always have saved gold after I had significant progression, but it would be so much better to have saved that gold now haha

[@IchI2FTW]

Playing this game for a while now and am almost s4 complete while being f2p for the most part (only bought 2 passes) but I never managed to be patient to wait for bundles. I'm currently at 600 gold and if I want a card I need progression or tokens so I could wait 6 months until I get 7k gold (hopefully exaggerated but bundles are expansive) or keep buying credits to get those 400 progression steps done to ensure getting the one card I want from those cache pools that only exist for a week Unless I'm missing how to get gold fast waiting for one bundle seems to not really get me there faster and I honestly don't care about variants if I'm still missing cards

[@sorwsh_sr9567]

Perfect ❤

[@devchawda9414]

I still remember wasting so much gold on cosmetics/variants early on!! dont get carried away on cool looking variants, hold tight on that gold

[@Night_Soul84]

after this changes in less gold to found, is still possible to play as free to play user or not?

[@gonz88]

Alex any inside info on better bundles coming? I look at the schedule and just see trash listed.

[@tonyarandasanchez4162]

What about the token bundles?? Where else can we get tokens?? Thank you for the video!!!

[@Sentient_Goose]

Is it possible to buy bundles with gold on mobile? I can't find anything worthwhile to spend gold on. I'm not sure what to do with it.

[@SevenPilot]

I have been spending all my gold on variants, and I’m on collection level 1.1k. Since gold is so hard to come by, I probably will keep spending gold on variants. It has to do with fomo because there are some variants I really want and I know if I pass up on them they won’t appear again for at least a couple months. (You REALLY should be able to pin variants. Idk why you cant, it’s annoying) I may progress a bit slower, but I’m having a good time. How much slower ram I at progressing if I don’t spend any gold on units and bundles?

[@rasmusniller6411]

I mean its helpful but i think that people should do what ever they want with their gold. I have spent gold only on variants and i have 0 regrets. It took me a little bit longer to finish s3 but atleast i got them variants.

[@danielsolorzano547]

What about using gold for collector’s tokens, is that good value? I feel like saving gold for the bundles might be better now.

[@DietersYT]

I hear you. I know you’re right… But I’m gonna keep buying Super Rare variants 😅 (I’m not a new player btw…don’t do this if you’re new)

[@gretagarbo7855]

great work as always but you forgot to go over the value of gold in the buying variants for 700 to get to the 2000 token road. also why are credits are overvalued by the community, i missed it?

[@alexkezu]

Isn't good idea Change gold for tokens to take some 4/5 pool Cards?

[@kobe4090]

Bought Hail Hydraulics to get Red Skull and run Typhoid Mary and Sauron. The investment was worth it seeing as I hit Omega for the first time with this new deck.

[@jarredwithers9628]

Just been saving mine for those expensive bundles. 3100 gold at the moment

[@wayVier]

As other fellas here I am also a pc-starter, and this is the best vid on economy Ive come across. Id like to hear a comparison for next month's premium rewards track in terms of value, as I didnt fully understand that I would be getting daken+ magneto +iceMan anyway in pool2, ie there is NO "duplicate protection" like in Hearthstone etc. Pls keep covering such topics! I am currently on the fence about getting premium next month if its gonna be the same kinda deal as this. If the lvl50+caches are the same i dont know if its enough value (havent done the math, but would appreciate ur thoughts)

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do!

[@mikeyaeger9279]

I am CL 7000+ and the season pass has always been the best value in the game. You get the season pass card plus a couple more variants(iceman and magneto variants this month were both great) plus a few mystery variants and a good amount of gold and credits, if you are going to spend any money on the game you should always get the season pass

[@lorenzogiomarelli7983]

And then there's me who has only spent gold on variants from the shop since day 1

[@whiteclavin274]

I watched this video to see if our thoughts are aligned... Which they are lol. Progressing towards the next Spotlight Cache is my top priority as a player who is only 10 cards from Series 3 completion!

[@AnxiousTrap]

wish i seen this sooner 🙃🙃

[@m0neyy7]

Alex yeah darkhawk offer gives less credits but, if i dont own darkhawk doesnt it mean +3000 tokens for me which makes it worth it

[@CallmeSal42]

This is a huge question I’ve had and would love your take. Should the base card come with a variant? Example: I don’t have Red Skull, so I buy the bundle so I can start playing with the card. But later I open the base card from a reserve. Is that a desirable user experience? Is there a benefit to things being this way? I’d love to know the community opinion

[@aryansharma3083]

The fact that the base card is also treated as another variant is what causes this discrepancy. Although undesirable I don't think second dinner will change it anytime soon.

[@TheBugB]

Is token Tuesday worth it?

[@ongweichong3316]

Is it all suggestions available in mobile version for now?

[@borisstoyanov3488]

Oh, man. All this time I've been wasting my Gold. Thank YOU, Alex. I guess I'm just gonna save up Gold for some neat bundle. The Collection Track has become crap even after unlocking all of Pool 3's cards.

[@Jambooza]

I'm excellent at keeping my gold... Oh a Flaviano variant in the store!

[@JJbrucey]

Oh man I know that Darkhawk bundle is bad value but man do I want it!

[@JAxz5]

yeah but reserves only give me tokens and credits, that convert into more credits, but never cards, im still using a dino deck since pool 2, and incomplete destroy since i still havent got venom, but i do have crossbones, or black cat, so i started refilling my missions...nice video, now ill wait and play when my missions are maxed out

[@CaptainOfAverages]

Fast forward to doing 22x premium variant pulls... I kid, I kid.

[@jonmagic1123]

Just hit level 528. Is the token bundle worth it? I saw it Tuesday but I was hesitant on grabbing it. Just wanted to know your thoughts if I should save for bundles or get the tokens. Thanks

[@AlexanderCoccia]

See pinned comment!

[@andyablluxembourg8627]

what about tokens? you didn't elaborate on token bundles

[@hellgast0]

I feel stupid for buying a variant with the gold... i'm definitely saving it now for the bundles.

[@SlidePH]

What about the value of tokens?

[@aaesdee841]

Did I miss the token section? 😅

[@hulkdavid3201]

I think they should continue with daily login rewards for PC. What I notice is that the game it's not that generous.Thanks for your video.

[@KRANYEN]

brother, I don't understand why you don't talk about token tuesdays, which I think is a very big confusion, whether we should take them or not ?

[@wiziek]

right no idea, tokens are still most universal instead of waiting for random bundle that you may not even need

[@mindkorner]

I spent my gold every week to buy token, my luck is pretty bad sometimes I didn't get any card from 2000ish credit. So spending more on token I think is a more wise choice for new player

[@joseaguila7685]

Awesome video this game is sooo good and about to get even bigger if asmongoldtv is making videos about it being addicting

[@rogerb8888]

Thanks for the video. Can you please make a video to explain why credits are important? I keep on hitting the 10k limit and just use them to buy upgrades in the store. Is there another use for them, other than to upgrade cards when you get enough boosters from playing?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Nonono never buy the upgrades from the store! Always directly upgrade cards!! You will run out of credits really fast once you start upgrading cards to infinity!! Boosters are a dime a dozen, it's the credits that are rarer!!

[@Quingo400]

I just use mine on good variants bundels or not

[@ricomatuguinas3392]

Hello Alex! The vid is very informative! However, I just have another question what if you are not a beginner anymore? I think I got 2/3 of the pool 3 cards. Where should I spend my gold?

[@ashb7]

I'm about as far along as you. I think bundles with high credit values are still great, since completing pool 3 gives you the freedom to play more decks. But Token Tuesday bundles actually got more valuable IMO after the token drop nerf, so they seem like a pretty sensible way to spend gold.

[@vincelot86]

As someone who plays since launch i thought refreshing missions was still the way to go for new players. I wonder what's the best way to spend gold for old players now.

[@Anno1990]

I just join this season on fully playing this game I in deed use it for the missions because for the season points but I see it's just a wast of money i do some times gold for bundels or a price bundel if it's Tru value if not it's have to be dame good card for me to waste more value for level credits I have see indeed what u need to get cards I really wish I played in the wolverine season and spider verse season but maby I still get a shot later

[@mellindrums]

All I've been doing with my gold is refresh missions 😂

[@speedwaifuthetrueandonlybe2744]

Great video, but unfortunately the bestest way to use your gold is to buy every single artgerm variants to make your opponent snap before the beauty you're displaying on the board

[@teppencasual908]

It might be time to break out the spreadsheets and math things out. If the short term goal is speeding up Series 3 completion, gold can be spent on bundles where the ratio is greater than 1.25 credits per gold. For long term purposes or if Series 3 complete, bundles with a better token per gold rate than Token Tuesday is where gold should be used.

[@giovannyyyy]

I'll get all the artgem variants AND NOTHING CAN STOP ME

[@closecombat211]

What are your thoughts on token tuesdays? Since the changes to progression I’ve just been saving for those and not opening my caches until they hopefully improve them.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Answered in pinned comment! Basically they are meh but sometimes they are good lol

[@closecombat211]

Gotcha - Thanks! Gonna get the rest of the tokens on need for Legion then start saving for bundles. Appreciate the tips as always, Alex!
