SELENE IS OBSCENE. I already hate this goblin mode meta!

Selene is Marvel Snap's newest card, and the best deck for her might be a goblin mode junk deck! Her ability to lower the power of your goblins makes her a powerful option for a deck that already loves cards with negative power.
Decklist: snap.untapped.gg/en/decks/Ann...
Power Estimate: This deck had a solid win rate for me, but not the best cube rate. Junk in general hasn't been the highest performing archetype, but Selene does give it another tool. The question is whether or not she'll be able to propel it to the top of the meta or if she's just a little too awkward and inconsistent, which we'll learn as more data rolls in.

[@isaacdavidson7985]

I was using a hela-tribunal deck and faced this same deck in conquest 🤦🏾‍♂️ i ended that game with only 1 power in each line

[@shardgunner4815]

Game's felt so bad this last couple weeks to me. Feels like no matter what deck I play, I open the app, queue one game, and get hard countered by my opponent or low roll the locations. I can't tell if I'm just that far out of touch with the meta, but I can barely stomach the game rn. And I'm p bored of junk, and most other decks now, too :\ I was playing a void/viper list before anihilus, and that was fun. It was cool when he came out, but now it's just been p much a staple since then. Blob was kinda interesting, but I feel like games just boiled down to: a) do I draw blob + ramp b) does my opponent run Shang chi / shadow king I was running a surfer hand/deck buffing list with bast, and wolfsbane, and dazzler (and obviously brood n patriot/mystique), and that list was so cool. But then Shaw came out, and those decks were everywhere. And in my opinion they played less interestingly, but performed better. That's what most new cards seem to do. They're either useless, or make a deck better but simpler, idk Tl:Dr is that i just wish they would expand their design space rather than expound upon it. Give me new synergy with a card that actually needs it for once

8:54 man, not playing the sentinels before the shung chi made my heart weeze lol. Glad it still worked out though :)

[@darrellwillis4871]

I'm still so confused about him not playing sentry left instead of demon. Sentry has more power? And... Rickety Bridge would kill the void and anything the opponent puts right? Then you still have 10 power in left and shang the middle. You can do this on turn six because both four costs are now 3 because of Elysium. Like am I missing something?

[@junkai6877]

Hi Regis. May I know the reason of not using any variants?

[@mengsRS]

I'm seeing negative, negative, negative on my matches too. I'm running discard Lockjaw bounce and I'm kinda winning when I face some junks.

[@darrellwillis4871]

@9:25 ish right? Why not play Sentry hard left instead of demon? And Shang-Chi middle? The Sentry makes a void that contests right but you still end up with 10 power left? Am... Am I being a goober?

[@jasonkillmer3195]

Hi Regis, I love your content thank you for the work you put in. As I am trying to get better with the game can you tell me in the first game of this video why you played the demon left on the final turn over the Sentry? Would the Void have been recognized by Rickety Bridge and helped to destroy all cards there? I appreciate your thoughts and guidance, thanks again.

[@RegisKillbin]

Assuming the location stays the same, Sentry is better, but there's always a risk they transform the location out of Rickety Bridge (Storm, Legion, etc.), and then you're left with -10 that's an auto lose there. Since we know the Demon is big enough to win that location anyway, it's just a tad bit safer, I think.

[@jasonkillmer3195]

@RegisKillbin Thank you, that's the kind of forethought that I'm missing and I end up losing cubes. I appreciate the insight.

That Rickety Bridge play was a huge blunder. You could have play Sentry and achive the same but board presence, but more power

[@RegisKillbin]

Then I would just lose to any location changing card, when Demon wins anyway. Why risk it?

[@amitaisaiger8784]

mildly curious what made you play shadow king over viper

[@SSD_Penumbra]

Viper is basically a weaker Annihilus. Shadow can undo strong cards entirely, like Havok or Shaw.

[@thomasmartin1514]

on top of being a strong counter to blobs and stuff like that, it also helps with mirror by putting your negatived cards get bumped back up

I renamed this deck “Selene demon” Because it rocks.

[@user-ow6jd5vc9x]

add just one letter to the deck name and it takes on a whole new meaning

[@RoadWulf]

I hate how Destruction can just shrug off Negative numbers. First map I played on was Cloning Lab. Turn 1 put down Forge, So did he Turn 2 then played Scorpion (everything in his hand -1). He put down Bucky on cloning at 2. Turn 3: Nova Bucky middle. I put a Goblin on cloning. Turn 4 I put down Hazmat on Cloning, another 2/4 Scorpion Middle. -1 on the field, -2 potentionally on cards in his hand. He puts Wolverine on Cloning at 1 power. Turn 5: I put down the second goblin middle and the second Hazmat. His side now looks like: Right: Forge -1, Bucky 0, Wolverine 0, Goblin -4 Middle: Bucky 0, Goblin -4, Nova -2 He plays Carnage. His middle spot ends up at 20.

[@fuchswolfsson2622]

Yeah carnage and viper could be slotted in. I was running a sentry deck with those two before annihilus came out, but i think its not really worth it now. Annihilus basically is the archetype card for this kind of deck now and you really missing a key component without it.

[@samuelhunter4631]

Don't. Not only is Annhilus necessary for this deck, but you'll have a bad day with this deck if your opponent does have Annhilus

[@fuchswolfsson2622]

@@samuelhunter4631 true. I am so not looking forward to those mirror matches. Its gonna be some rough days in snap. Meta is going to be only junk and destroy …

[@ChibiRuah]

If you want to win, probably not. Annihilus is almost the main reason to play junk as it’s just the best at its job. For fun, I made shitty mr negative deck without a few key cards. Not as fun as full collection but you still get some pop off turns. I’m sure junk but similar. If you are ok to run more suboptimal turns and not get the big “throw shit their way”, it can be fun I imagine. But again, if you mostly care about winning, it’s a hard no.

[@shrapnelsponge]

I went against one of these earlier, it was disgusting and I never want to play it again.

[@rraimundobruno]

Should people start playing Annihilus even outside junk just to counter these kinds of deck? It's a hit to consistency but he seems stronger play than most 6 cost plays in the right situation and sometimes a 5/7 with an additional 1 cost is enough to swing a game in your favor. The only negative is that the game would devolve into who can make the best Annihilus play which is bad

[@chaseniwa7971]

thats stupid

[@ChibiRuah]

The issue with this is you are running 1 dead card to have a silver bullet against junk. Most decks don’t send you trash. And even against junk, I am not fully convinced it give you that high of a win rate as you have to avoid their annililus. Tech cards are best when they either counter a lot of decks or complement your game plan in some way. Shaun chi is a good tech card because it hits a large number of cards. Cosmo is a good tech card as there are lots of good reveal cards out there and you can use them to stop cards like Shaun chi. Annihilus as a tech card only really stops junk. And -1 draw is a step cost to stop 1 style of deck.

[@darrellwillis4871]

Well you can do this? But better~ Run Cosmo and take initiative, turn 5 drop Cosmo and cut off their annihilus. Your Cosmo is a 3 cost that's more common to see and shuts off annihilus with good prediction... But! We can do more! You know what deck beats junk? Destroy. Literally play destroy if you're worried. They send you trash? Eat it. Carnage and Lady Deathstrike and since the WHOLE DECK is themed that way you're not having to find the out for one specific deck because you'd be destroying your stuff anyway, but now you counter it. Tl;Dr: If your worried about it use Cosmo and lock the annihilus turn 5 or play a deck revolved around destroying your own cards that way you accomplish your deck's goal at all times, but now you deck's objective can stop the new best deck. Just don't run Cosmo in your destroy deck

[@HeroDarkStorn]

Carnage is much better, if you just want to counter goblins/trash. Unless junk is more than 75% of your ladder.

[@LelouSMash]

8:19 Why are you not just playing Sentry left and Shang-chi mid? Lol this drove me so crazy I had to comment... I was screaming lol "Regis!!! Sentry" both cost 3 and the void will destroy whatever card they put on the bridge... Even if they happen to play armor on the bridge, you mid mid with Shang and Sentry easily wins left

Of course you still won and a win is a win regardless...but it just frustrated me that you kept thinking 😂😂😂 In your position I just Sentry Shang, call it a day

the junk queen xd

[@ChibiRuah]

I feel junk is like one of those deck people love the idea of but once it starts being a big part of the meta, it’s annoying. I also think how the mirror plays out, it makes the deck even more annoying as you are basically just trying to annihilate last to just win which is not very interesting.

[@jakubskonieczny5750]

I don't understand why people don't like making math to lose priority in mirrors. It's fun! Also you can do it a different way. You can decide early on that you won't annihilus at all and try to put as much power as possible and just fill the lanes which are vurnable to negative cards (espesially right lane). That way your opponent, avoiding putting power on board can lose because he didn't have enough power and none of negative cards actually switch sides.

[@leod5179]

They should change her text from lowest power to lowest cost, that would help to balance her a bit or maybe give her a cannot be moved status

[@ChibiRuah]

I think that kind of kills the card a bit, it start really only being good with hood as 3 cost is unlikely to be lowers and 5 is very. Also the cards you want to hit are usually bigger affects cards, and lower cost would hit them less. Because the affect is symmetrical, you need to break that and the goblins are basically the way to do that. Removing that feels like it makes the card not work imho
