Is ARES worth it? An HONEST REVIEW of ARES [Marvel Snap Ares Review]

[@michaelclark8831]

For anyone that doesn't know, Hulkbuster and Sp//dr will reactivate Surtur.

[@iguacu3517]

My biggest problem with surtur has always been that you have a deck built around a card that you only draw on curve half the time. And playing him after T4 or T5 instead of your big guys seems like a terrible play.

[@bigowl2542]

Congratulations on 100k bro. Well deserved, you’ve clearly worked very hard on snap content and consistently put out great stuff

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@bigowl2542]

@ my pleasure, thank you! See you on the next episode of the Snapchat

[@jordoncrewse367]

They really need to bring a deck tracker to mobile. It’s such a disadvantage!

[@LordKishi]

Just remember your deck list

[@ritzaxe]

Just write your enemy's deck on paper

[@1-tru-1]

Just ask your enemy what their playing.

[@Gahnt999]

​@@ritzaxedude the game is for snappy and quick games on the run. How can be the solution to write things...do you ever think before typing?

[@miguela2790]

I'll be opening this week, but mostly because of Misery tbh, as you said, She's a good card to have.

[@SashaINAFT]

The only thing that pisses me off of Ares is his DAMN FONT.

[@mxvivianwulf7019]

yea the font looks garbo. "Graphic design is my passion" levels of bad. Needs a solid border to help it pop.

[@batmanwins5701]

It should be more Greek looking. Throw some olive or mint leaves on it😂

[@mxvivianwulf7019]

@@batmanwins5701 Put him in a souvlaki

[@batmanwins5701]

@mxvivianwulf7019 I'm now excited for the "food fight" variant! Also kind of hungry..

[@DarthEqualizer]

Really? It's one of the best in my opinion

[@INMATEofARKHAM]

That first game had Knull on the bench screaming, "put me in, coach! Put me in!" 😂😮

[@tomschwarzkopf]

That first game was one of the most fun games I’ve seen in a long time!❤ 10:58

[@RealMarkyb]

I got 2000 collectors tokens from my spotlight, which gave me enough to get Ares. I already love the surtur deck and this feels like a great include for me

[@ill4683]

Lucky you people who have all cards aren’t so lucky I’ve wasted so many keys with no back up I’m bout to leave snap already. Also matchmaking is so blatant with mirror decks and straight up counter decks.

[@RoadWulf]

I'm honestly surprised they haven't reverted Ms Marvel back to her original ability, because the power creep since her nerf has made the +5 bonus (as long as there are 2 cards in the lane) is almost nothing. I'd love to see her get her original ability back at +4 rather than have the lanes require specific Costs.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

Same with Elsa going back to +3. Galacta might only activate once but its much easier to get her power going where with Elsa you have to fill a location which can put you in a bad position as well.

[@RoadWulf]

@@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4 That's a different animal. Elsa's power bonuses are to individual cards, not locations. And her ability can be repeated to hit multiple cards.

[@michaeljeacock]

I know this is a radical idea, but how about swapping Nico for Quicksilver. Then you are guaranteed to have a 1 for cull, and it is a 1 drop guaranteed to not be in deck when you play Ares, lowering your chance of not getting the buff.

[@berandomisme]

I've been doing that for a while, it actually feels really consistent.

[@ChimChim_13_]

I just hope in a future patch they give us back skaar at 6/11. The 6/11 stats line is not explored enough and it would be nice to get more 11 power cards with Eson coming, maybe a 6/11 sasquatch??

[@fluctuations23]

That's very true. A 6/11 skaar in an eson and starbrand deck would be so good. Only 6/11 card in the game now is fkn Orka

[@TranceVivi]

That mirror mill match was a corker 👌

[@batmanwins5701]

Gotta disagree with Alex about Toxin. That is one of my favorite cards in the game, i use it in all sorts of decks outside of traditional bounce, definitely worth picking up in my opinion. Its been a boon in my Vicky hand deck all month, crushes it in the regular bounce and small soldiers build. Adds value to a lot of other stuff.

[@ilovemacaroons5229]

My favorite synergy is Misery reactivating Ares so I can get some intel on the opponent's deck. Trully a great unexpected strategy

[@darthpayback]

that first game was tense! I love encounters like that

[@innerchimp9783]

Gz on 100k 🎉

[@lukasaraujo3662]

The classic 4 Victoria Hands and double Moonstone game we always pull off lol I'd be screaming at my phone if it happened against me

[@ledsenkatt]

The last match is the first time I’ve seen someone else running that pixie mobius deck. I love Sersi gameplay 😍

[@chrisdofer]

A 4/12 is laughably stronger than drax's 4/9 which is even harder to land.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

At the same time would you want a Series 5 card to be comparable to a card you get for free very early on? Not saying that Drax doesn't deserve a form of buff (or for that matter most Guardians) but I think more people would be annoyed if Ares came out and was only slightly more power than Drax. Like if Drax could get to 4/10-4/12 then Ares getting to 4/12 wouldn't be all that great.

[@DealwithitHand]

You deserved that No-Skillmonger for that emote you did lol

[@Artist8731]

When is the Honest review of Alex Coccia coming out?

[@boxingtherapy87]

I used all 4 of my keys 🔑. Getting ares....speed...and misery. I am pleased with what I got. Plus, we know we got a nice package 📦 coming for us, U.S. folks soon 😉

[@noahpatch1483]

It’s out. Alex is great

[@JobeSmith-dd4qe]

Alex is going to age like fine wine.

[@sadisticmedic8788]

In March the Celestials are coming and it could help Ares. For me Ares is fun but other people are not happy with it. As Alex said in the past wait till Monday to see what comes out. I was thinking Hela may be to replace Black Cat. I was wondering since Rocks and Hawks could Cozy old school deck from a year ago come back.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

I think it's kind of like the initial reception of Red Hulk. He's a card that has a pretty good ceiling for power but is kind of boring in terms of what they bring to the game. Cards that simply bring more power are usually met with a pretty neutral reception. Doesn't mean they're bad, they just aren't as exciting.

[@benjaminlee758]

crazy... I remember when Ms. Marvel absolutely terrorized the meta

[@MrStatistx]

Gladiator still has a worth when pulling a big card out of the opponents deck that he can't destroy, cause then you a) know where it is and b) can destroy it with Shang Chi and grab it with fenris

[@F80armitgod369]

4:12 I use him war machine and infinite deck and he work perfect lot of 10 power 4 cost cards Can easily played with war muchine

[@TophTheMelonLord1]

That's a clean sweater bro

[@manamike13]

11:23 that’s was a crazy game.!! 😂

[@Naruninja555]

I will never question Glenn Jones and his team ever again. This month's new cards looked okay (other than Victoria Hand which was obviously amazing) but they all came out great.

[@Voss_Man]

I don''t comment much, but that first game was a thing of beauty. Hope you're doing well Alex!

[@Shax22132]

Thanks for the video and the deck. I'm seeing a lot of Mill and Negative decks in my meta right now; definitely annoying decks to up against.

[@Ryuuk00]

I've seen a lot of the Surtur decks running Kitty with Galacta. That was pretty cool to see. Mine runs Doom 2099. Nico is good but just I think the Kitty decks Might be cooler. Idk.

[@ryancoates9223]

I was honestly planning on Skipping Ares this week. But seeing lot of people talk and discuss on twitter, I figured Id take the risk. Esp w Compensation for teh game being down coming out soon (and im not crazy hyped for any cards data mined for next month) felt good to get Ares today. It DID take me 4 keys, but I didn't have Misery so ill take it lol. So io can use next month to build up keys and I have plenty of Tokens if i need next month.

[@ROFLWAFFLELAWL4]

Yeah next month is a resource month for me to use for March. March cards look amazing. Personally looking forward to grabbing Eson and Khonshu.

[@ryancoates9223]

@ completely agree. Depending how Thunder Ross does, I may use tokens for him. And to finally get Phoenix force, I’m gonna try tokens for him and diamond back. But otherwise yea next month is a SKIP to sure. VERY excited for March completely agree can’t wait for more data mines on that

[@Jovan007]

Love it,even tho i got it from 4th key😢

[@Dan016]

26:02 I hope you make this a sound alert 😂

[@nooksta45]

1st key Ares, wouldn't mind Misery, but I'll stick with the 1 key for the week Ares seems fun

[@eman2k2k2]

That first game was maybe the best game of snap I've ever seen

[@MrStatistx]

Same reason i couldn't play Surtur Decks is the same I can't play non-mill Ares decks: I don't have Skaar

[@1414-l3g]

Most people : put Ares in Darkhawk, Surtur, Mill deck Me : put him in War Machine deck (Infinaut, Cull, Maw, Crossbones are enough)

[@clemonsjovan]

This is the best version of Surtur atm, can’t use hood anymore with ares but Nico can be really really useful, copying skarr is broken

[@andrhp87]

The mill decklist is so good im running it with great success without Ares, just replaced him with Killmonger

[@innerchimp9783]

You think Frigga on Ares will be decent?

@@TheBlott2319why are we all getting two keys?

[@SashaINAFT]

@@TheBlott2319 I initially wanted misery or 2k tokens so I could finally get Doom 2099.

[@cypher7523]

Didn't get Ares with my key. Kept bumping into this very deck. So just put together an anti Ares deck and its stomping them. Thinking maybe putting magic in. Scorpion also to turn off Surtar. But so far this doesn't let them play. You can control the lanes, use spiderman to move armour or their big guy to open up shangchi plays. And either copy their plays with leader or pull all their 4 and 3s to a dead lane with magneteo. Enchantress turns off armour. Daredevil allows perfect plays on t5. Morph usually works out better than Gladiator in this meta after patriot. As does Nega of you have priority. Jean, negasonic and ironfist they usually concede. Id probably run Fenris if had it. Red Guardian can turn off Surtur. Against any other deck it disrupts well enough to win with the same lines. Probably folds to Lady Deaths Deathstrike decks. # (2) Baron Mordo # (2) Daredevil # (2) Iron Patriot # (2) Spider-Man # (3) Morph # (3) Negasonic Teenage Warhead # (3) Red Guardian # (3) Jean Grey # (4) Shang-Chi # (4) Enchantress # (6) Leader # (6) Magneto

[@johnnyblaze10]

those were some marvel snap games holy

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Ares is like a more reliable Bruce Banner lol. It doesn't feel good if it fails but it's great when it does hit. At least it's more reliable and more of a 50/50 and why I think Ares works a lot better in Mill decks when they have no cards left anyway!😂

[@RalphLBaer]

I’d spend money on emotes if it was cheaper. I’m more interested in that than the cards or cosmetic borders

It's because of the whole TikTok ban issue. Their old publisher took it down from the app store and shut it down completely for a few days in the US. It's back up and running, but it still hasn't been restored to the app store. They expect to have it back by the end of this week.
