[@azizulfikri8392]

Maybe because I'm fairly new in Snap but this is probably the best season of snap that I've had, the spotlight was filled with the cards that I want and there were quite a few OTA changes that shifts the meta around that makes you want to experiment with different type of playstyle throughout the month. this is also the first season that I actually got all of the featured cards of said season

[@hassaanahmed5784]

❤

[@C00T47]

Mailbag who has been your role models for content creation and charisma? You two feel like family at this point. We love and look forward to this collab every week ❤

[@samanthamartin9775]

I feel like Arishems play rate is really indicative of the possibility that people are a little bored with normal game play. We want draft mode haha. Arishem is like draft mode without the autonomy of picking your drafts. Arishem is a blast! Don’t even care if it’s good or what my win rate is. I haven’t had this much fun playing snap in months.

[@pixelbomb97]

23:20 they forgot Sersi existed for this conversation

[@Mr_Paw_revised]

Wanted to say this, so have my 👍🏻

[@TheRUTVIK99]

If they forgot her, she's not important

[@TheRUTVIK99]

If they forgot her, she's not important

[@seth5847]

​@@TheRUTVIK99I wouldn't say that, Sersi is good

[@donniet2989]

Arishem is really fun but instead of randomness it became expected to see blob , rogue ,Loki or hawk

[@poentecontente]

I had a really great time playng Captain Marvel in Namora decks. Such a pleasure to watch a 10 power Cap move around to get those cubes.

[@maxithalo7796]

this! people are sleeping on how strong namora can be with cap marvel, on turn 6 I would just play odin and get the 15 power cap marvel to just win the game for me

[@cholland7680]

I try to add her in every deck

[@zacharygroysman279]

What sold me on this card was going back to back 4 wins in infinite conquest only to lose the last match.

[@Faltzerbeast90]

Kinda says how cheap it is 😂

[@joshnexus22]

Feels illegal to be this early. Just wanted to say thank you for another great snap chat as always, I never watched KZbinrs until you and Cozy, you're both awesome, thank you guys!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

[@smartpatrick8690]

9:00 I am not trying to defend the Arishem haters but now Darkhawk isn't a full proof counter because the arishem decks are loading up on Darkhawk counters like rogue, alioth, negasonic, etc

[@Faltzerbeast90]

Yeah they assume we're gonna draw everytime 😂 it's so busted

[@INMATEofARKHAM]

I saw my quickest retreat ever with a Legion on wakanda on turn 4. All the locations hadn't even swapped over, and the destroy player was like, "Peace, I'm out."

[@flatulentman1142]

I've hit Legion on Isle of Silence against a Darkhawk player twice so far.

[@Mr_Paw_revised]

Mailbag: We’ve seen a lot of card adjustments lately - Discard, Move, High Evo, Annihilus, Thanos is a work in progress also. What do You feel is still left behind, forgotten and waiting for a Second Dinner attention?

[@trevorpyka2052]

This is my favorite thing to look forward to ever week!

[@FiestaTX17]

I think I played more Black Swan than I ever have before, I played hours of her with Arishem this season. Sersi is the other favorite of the season for me, such a fun card.

[@maxithalo7796]

this season I was really surprised at how good morph can be like, you can only get bad results if your oponent is playing destroy or discard, but by turn 3 you can already know what their deck style is, so if you dont see either of those, morph will ALWAYS give you something good, its insane, I got iron mans, infinauts, red hulks, leaders, etc

[@walterdomingo2588]

Keep up the awesome content!

[@JamesJohnsonQ]

Mr Negative with Dark Hawk was killing it this week against Arishem

[@maxithalo7796]

so good! I was doing that too +Mobius, good values

[@lefoxsportif7796]

decklist pls?

[@sinningcieje]

For a new no ability card: a 0 -1 that can therefore also be used in Annihilus or for bar with no name. Because of MAGIK, it also could work to add a 7-cost no ability card.

[@Djraptor232]

Mailbag: have you guys ever considered doing a crossover snapchat episode with another pair, such as km best and lamby?

[@nicosia416]

Mailbag: My wife was overheard the podcast the other day. She knows absolutely nothing anout Marvel Snap, but it got me thinking. If you both got to coach your wives for one hour and they had to play each other with no help from either of you, what kind of decks do you think they’d play? What card do you think most fits your wife’s personality?

[@Loki477-q8z]

Mailbag Q: Hey Alex & Cozy! What do you think about a new card that at the start of the game increases your hand space to 10 cards and allows you to draw 2 cards per turn? Arishem combo card lol

[@hyperfox3233]

I was in the camp of wanting to pickup Phastos. He's in a position that even if hes not good, one OTA could make him cracked (ex: snowguard, ravonna). However i got Arisham on the first key, so i still feel good about skipping for now.

[@ChipCrisper]

Heu Alex & Cozy, how do you feel about an Ajax Hela deck?? Ajax explodes after Hela drops all the -2 power big boys on the board. Could be a massive turn 6 blowout

[@cazzyjunk7585]

We thumbs up all day in Australia. I didn't know for months!

[@geneggroll]

I use Makkari in zoo and hit infinite for the 1st time since the official release of Marvel Snap. She was the sleeper card of the season.

[@Cougarseiya]

I think that activate could mark the return of the original Kitty. Something like "activate: take kitty back into your hand, she gets +1 power" with maybe a +1 on base statline. It's probably copium, but a man can hope.

[@bobby5359]

"Damn, I gotta put PANTS on!" - Alex Coccia, 2024

[@peterborja8002]

I won the lottery pulling him Phastod and Spider Pig the two I was aiming for with just 2 keys. Gonna go out it all on black now ttyl!

[@Simon_E32]

I feel like if Phastos made cards under 3 power -1 cost and cards over 3 power +2 power or something similar to make it so you know what's getting boosted, it would have a better place in the game

[@freeofgreed]

Never seen someone hate a card as much as Cozy hates Phastos 😂

[@kylefelter9615]

Great job Alex.

[@fallguybuddy2654]

Let’s go new season!

[@blackiemist88]

Quake was amazing in my Arishem deck

[@Shax22132]

Thanks for the video.

[@AlexanderCoccia]

You are welcome!

[@mitchelswinburne1785]

A Vanilla 8 cost card. Just to fill in the the cost gap between Arishem and Death for cards like Sersi. Have it pop up in the new location.

[@winningallday37]

I still really like phastos, I play quite a bit of him and he does what he does well, you have to play him in a tech cards style and not rely on needing him

[@therealraytam]

Mailbag: Who would you two draft for a 5v5 basketball game? You can only pick 1 character from each cost and 5-6 costs count as 1 group.

[@KantemirkO]

Devs commented on discord about why Arishem and High Evo work like that, the idea being they did not want them to be joined at the hip forever, so its a 50/50. I tend to agree

[@lonesurvivor8828]

I can finally run patriot and high Evo. Huzzah

[@Akivili420]

Mail bag; Just had an idea of a potential change to Phastos that could be really good. So hear it is: How about if Phastos took the highest power card in the deck and spread/split the power and cost among your other cards? Ability could be Activate instead? Activate to take your highest power card out of the deck and split among the rest of your deck.

[@KanataNouzen]

The best and fun card during this season was morph. Everybody be playing goodcards and morph be gettim them

[@CasualGamerThrai]

Remember back then when Wolverine was 2/2 and they put it in discard decks claiming 0/4 is good to go on board when discarded? Now Makkari with no needed condition plays herself for free at 4 power is considered trash.... I found Makkari to be great free value. How often do you used up your hand anyway, if often then you should be playing Strongman.

[@brandonstreet2351]

Alex, the way you feel about Sersi, I feel about Shadow King. I understand his strength, I find his play patterns awkward, and hard to fit into T6 curve🤷

[@holgo82]

Hey Guys. In regards to HydroBob I have to say that for me IT feels Like a House in Zoo. U can be so strategic with hin. Card feels very good. To me IT IS more than Just 2 Stars.

[@angiemac4662]

I really love Phastos, Gilgamesh, kazar, and a bunch of 1 cost cards

[@GorbombZombay]

I skipped em all but makkari week just for gladiator/x23 even tho I don’t like playing destroy much still down the road good to have…still wondering if I should go for arishem cause I’ve always wanted blob and he’s coming up in spotlight/seems to be a staple in the deck but my main plan was to save for the move cards cause I love playing vulture/heimdal/hercules etc also need galactus tough choices but think I’ll keep saving for the big move cards coming 🔜

[@OldmanNix]

Mailbag ... (not really but whatevz) ... you 2 should do a weekly best of 3 Arishem vs Arishem.

[@ericfeddeler]

I got smacked around all week trying to use Arishem. I had a killer deck and couldn't get matches that didn't own me

[@The-Gaming-PiT]

mailbag question: guys, time to answer the most important question: what's your "death row" meal of choice? You have 1 hour left to eat, you can order absolutely anything. What is on your plate?

[@Xavier-o9i]

Mailbag Question: I’ve been seeing a lot of Arishem hate because of his RNG. Do you guys think with more random locations and cards in this game and coming in the future, the game is leaning into maybe a bit too much RNG and just hoping to get lucky?

[@DarrenSteward]

I got three keys this week, drew every card but Arishem 😢

[@ragnarick1984]

Meanwhile, me who pulled Phastos using 4 spotlight caches.

[@juansalazar886]

Mailbag: With the new year of Marvel Snap coming up, what are some nerfs from Snaps history that you feel can come back in today’s meta game. (I.E sunspot, aero, silver surfer)

[@UnseenDesigns]

Where did you guys get the Thena Variant used in the thumbnail. Looks like a PANDART Thena and I NEED IT.

[@kainplays]

I have a question for the SNAPCHAT! What would you guys think of a "universes beyond" season? I don't see why they couldn't collaborate with Disney's other IPs? Popular Disney characters, star wars, and Indiana Jones would all make amazing cards.

[@bigbossodin]

I'm a nobody, but I would absolutely run a one-shot for you guys (but I only know Pathfinder (which is DnD adjacent)).

[@beckernicholas1596]

Mailbag question: since on reveal has wong and ongoing has onslaught do you think activate will get something like that for the archetype and what would it look like

[@blankface911]

Mailbag: How do we feel about the long forgotten Firestar? I wonder if we're going to rework that card or if they'll release her at a time where her ability wouldn't crack the meta? Curious about your guys's thoughts.

[@kenji0403]

They should make Kang 2/3 with same ability but have “Activate”

[@helixtower5817]

Mailbag: What is an underwhelming card / location effect that you think should be added to the game. I would like to see the ability to change the order of cards in play at each location.

[@NERD-ROBOT]

Mailbag: Listening to your episode where a listener comments about special abilities for GotG. What are your thoughts on including a "headquarters" card that gives a High Evolutionary effect that gives members of a specific group, like The Avengers, X-Force, etc, special abilities?

[@Arakn1dz]

Mailbag: who'd win in a fight, you or Arishem

[@Gronkulese]

mailbag: when building my card collection I'd torn with what I should be picking up from spotlight caches and tokens, there are cards I want for fun(proxima, galactus ect.) but I'm hesitant to get them over cards which would improve my collection overall, what route should I go for?

[@Solemnyty]

I think Glenn has actually said he would like to add a 7 cost vanilla card to the game.

[@PhillupD]

24:03 no sersi in the ranking 😮‍💨. Definitely my favorite card

[@kakkasukunimi2335]

Mailbox: do you think changing nick fury to "Onreveal: add a random 5-cost and 6-cost cards to your hand" would make him good?

[@tristantantoy2574]

Mailbag: I noticed that some of Alex's thumbnails contained art from another Marvel card game-Marvel Duel. Have you guys tried playing it and if yes, what are your thoughts in the game?

[@AlexanderCoccia]

I haven't maybe my artist, Arlo, has!

[@winningallday37]

Ok hear me out, let's change Adam warlock to have a high evo effect for the guardians 😮

[@ozzyjoshua]

U guys forgot about Sersi when you gave your final 1 to 5 ranking of season cards (should have been 1 to 6)

[@hawktriad]

I was playing Arishem with Thanos. I like the randomness offered and since I play only on a mobile I don't see on my screen whst cards were added to my deck. I love the random because I'm a firm believer in you should be able to win regardless of what cards you get, if you can play them correctly. True, you cannot really plan synergies but it is harder to counter a deck that starts out looking like Destroy but could actually be a move deck suddenly win as if it was a discard deck. I personally think Dark Hawk will get nerfed somewhat unless Blob can return to he depletes the entire deck again. Dark Hawk should have either a cap like Blob or a restriction such as cannot include cards added by Arishem. I think with all my matches this week, maybe 5 percent, tops, were Arishem decks. I don't know where the idea or stat came from that EVERYONE was playing him??? I loved it, even when I was losing because I like the surprise card draws and possibly getting cards I don't have or rarely use.

[@lordbatboy]

For more vanilla cards, why not introduce a vanilla 7 and 8 cost card? With regular ramp strategies, Magik, Sersi, Blink, and Arishem in the game, there are more ways than ever to get them on the board. In a High Evo shell, they can have some sort of cost discounting. I'm thinking like an 7/14 that gets -1 cost per location containing enemy cards afflicted with negative power. An 8/18 can be discounted to 6 if High Evolutionary is in play. They can even be bundled together in the same spotlight cache (coping).

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

I run Doctor Octopus in my Arishem because "Stop hiding your 30 power Darkhawk from me, put it on the field so I can Shang/Enchantress it". I think Doc Ock won me more games than any other card in Arishem. To the point if Doc Ock was a 4/10 it might be a top 10 card in the game for me lol

[@Loki477-q8z]

Finally Doc Ock has a purpose 😂😂

[@evanborchardt1862]

100% doc oc in arishem is genuinely great especially against the arishem counter decks

[@notgeoff799]

I had a fantastic moment where v their Doc pulled my Darkhawk, then my Shang, then my Cosmo. Sorry that lane is mine.. Thanks Otto

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

@@notgeoff799 lmao even when something like that happens to me I'm like cool let me just Blob Mystique the other 2 lanes. Your Darkhawk and Shang are preoccupied but Ock does definitely have low rolls

[@notgeoff799]

@@paul-juniorblack6151 oh sure, I know it's not a total loss, but in that case it was

[@torritate5081]

Darkhawk is not as clear of a counter as you are making it seem, when they can play 3 blobs.

[@vch464]

About the patriot/high evo no-text card: what do you think about them making a 7-cost no-text card?

[@jmelovesGod]

I think Makkari is going to be the sleeper of this month in the future, but it releasing as a series 5 killed it for me. I couldn't warrant spending tokens or keys on it. I hope so few people got it that it drops to S3 sooner rather than later, because I really wanna play this card...well not play I guess lol

[@screwkingsisle6459]

Blob into Mystique feels broken. I saw a few in arishem decks and I was not expecting that at all.

[@maxithalo7796]

right, she should only copy the "ongoing" part of the text and not the whole thing

[@seth5847]

Blob / mystique should NOT work the way it does

[@elizabethbriggsbooks]

Mailbag: Can you go through what all the emotes mean? Or what you think they mean, at least?

[@jacobmarroquin9522]

Poor Phastos… he was ok. Like 2.5 stars. I think he needed more power. Should’ve been a 3/5

[@kenji0403]

I’ve always used the Deadpool for middle finger, not thumps up Ms marvel

[@koonfasa]

I havent picked up Arishem yet. I did Phastos though and Corvus. Does the Arishem deck change each round in conquest?

[@SalemSetto]

Yeah it’s random cards each game

[@bodybagbilly]

I seriously don't understand the Makkari hate. She is 0/4 most of the time, with the ability to get proc'ed by Surfer. She is reverse M'Baku (which I know isn't a good card) but she goes onto your board 75% of the time. The only buff she needs is to drop from series 5 to series 4.

[@drinkmoderately]

What if the Guardians of the Galaxy cards get alternate abilities when played with High Evo?

[@marcuskirk1284]

That's how you know arishem is broken. He un-nerfs all the cards that had their cost increased. He has no downsides. You get fucked by your deck 1 out of 15 times, less than regular decks.

[@daniacha2161]

This months cards for me: Gilgamesh: Pre buff was trash. Post buff really solid card. Staple in Zoo. Solid 4 star card Thenna: Agree, best card of the month. Was in the very best deck till Arishem and they nerfed Angela because of her. Staple in Kitty decks. 5 star Sersi: Fun card, i think she goes in all Annihilus decks now on. Good surprise factor too. 3.5 for me Makkari: Much better than we think, but not a must have card at all. I like her more than Phastos for sure. 2.5 Phastos: Absolute trash card. Unplayable after turn 3 and not reliable enough even when you play it on curve. 1.5. 2 at best

[@paul-juniorblack6151]

My favorite cards of the season 1. Sunspot 2. Dazzler 3. Bishop 4. Enchantress 5. Doc Ock 6. Thanos 7. Arishem

[@Casimenori]

I like that Guardians Buffs alotttt. It matches their character’s powers, and will get them a whole lot more play without making ‘em too OP

[@MrKarlpotter]

Question for you both- why does the Pandart Studio Death variant have skeletal hands and a skull, but also, quite clearly, breasts.....?! My knowledge of anatomy and physiology is enough to know that doesn't make sense.

[@davidherberger8104]

I keep using Phastos but it always replacable

[@TheBlott2319]

Imagine thinking that a card that allows you to play every single card ahead of the curve isn't O.P. Arishem annoys people like me because it rewards tactics over strategy. Deck-building is no longer a valued skill because you can get more energy with a randomly built Arishem deck. It doesn't matter how much I've learned to perfect the play patterns of my deck, Arishem will just randomly give you the card that directly counters me. That skill I've learned of spotting an opponent's deck and predicting how I match up against them? It's useless because Arishem could play ANYTHING. Yes, there are counters in Darkhawk and the upcoming Cassandra Nova, but it's like back in Galactus's heyday, I dont want to feel like I'm forced to play direct counters to one particular deck all the time on the off chance I see it, because I'll likely lose without them.

Wasn't Phastos in some of the top decks for a couple weeks?

[@seth5847]

He was shoehorned in 💀 trust me I have Phastos and he's always the 12th card in the deck. Always replacable with hope or something else

[@DeputyNomNoms]

@@seth5847 sure but to think there's any debate between Phastos and Makkari is insane.

[@phillipcasey101]

I used to put angel in all my apocalypse decks just because the characters are so tied together in the lore... but eventually I stopped doing it... I still occasionally have angel in my destroy deck though
