Spotlight Cache Planning June to August in Marvel Snap

[@HellShoot]

There will be no new card in place of Cassandra Nova. Q: If Cassandra will be a reward in the Deadpool event, what will be in that week’s Spotlight cache? A: Glenn “Cassandra will not be in the Spotlight cache that week. There will be three returning Series 4/5 cards so there will no newly released card in the spotlight that week. Cassandra will be in future spotlights down the road.” Taken from Marvel Snap Zone "Developer Update for the Week of June 15, 2024: Deadpool’s Diner + Sersi Edition (40+ Questions)!"

[@rezsnapper]

Nice one. Hopefully it's a desirable one then, but I guess it might be something like Kang. Perhaps Supergiant.

[@sno3mane605]

I am happy you are the new drewberry the attention to detail great work.

[@rezsnapper]

That is a really lovely thing to hear, I really appreciate it. I hope you continue to enjoy the content.

[@hoh3336]

Hear me out, they're bringing back Firestar for Cassandra's week

[@rezsnapper]

🫢🫢🫢

[@someguy4096]

They already confirmed that it will be a returning card. Besides firestar will likely be in the upcoming spiderman/madem web season.

[@rezsnapper]

This is very true. It could potentially be Silver Sable too, who I believe was part of the Clone Saga story.

[@someguy4096]

@@rezsnapper I completely forgot about Silver Sable. That's equally likely too.

[@someoneclipit7784]

I literally thought the same thing

[@rollcaskett1812]

I have 4 keys right now. Going for Gladiator and maybe X-23 tomorrow, and saving the rest for Copycat and maybe even going for her spotlight variant.

[@dinomorose4000]

I hadn’t thought about the information value of CopyCat - you will know if they aren’t going to draw a key card eg Wong or Tribunal or Knull etc

[@rezsnapper]

Precisely, and without even needing to pay energy.

[@RagsTattoo]

Exactly! She is too strong imo. This is a very powerful information to use against the opponent. Basically a better Cable lol

[@MakoTrevelyan]

Once I heard potential agent venom, I immediately reconsidered my key spending

[@rezsnapper]

It me

[@joedoe7572]

What about this week? Sersi week isn't over yet, and I'm still on the fence about it

[@rezsnapper]

I'm tbink she looks fun, and she looks chaos. She's good in Annihilus but she's ultimately skippable. There's such good cards coming to spotlights soon (Arishem, Copycat, Hope) that is probably better to skip.

[@joedoe7572]

@@rezsnapper thank you for the response! May I suggest a video idea? Have you seen Educated Collins' version of rating upcoming Spotlight Caches video? That format is amazing, as it answers the question for everyone, regardless of whether they have the returning cards (I actually gave him the idea for that format, so don't feel bad about copying it). It would be nice to have a second opinion, particularly as he's been putting out videos less consistently lately

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah that's a good idea. I've been planning to do these videos once a month, so I could probably combine them. Let me see if I can fit it in as its a bit of extra graphics work. Thank you for the suggestion ❤️

[@xxProfessorWhatxx]

Really great content! Love your insight, great analysis, and solid style!

[@rezsnapper]

Thank you! 💙 💜

[@araisikewai]

You get 5 keys every 4 weeks, so you should add 2 keys for 4th week.

[@julianlee5743]

One critique I wanted to bring to this is that the picture is very busy with a lot of information pressed together. I would maybe recommend adding an animation swapping between regular and variant of the new card at an interval. Other than that the video was great keep it up!

[@FoodReviewUK]

Thank you very much for the feedback, I don't disagree. I made the image primarily for use on a mobile device, but I'll see if I can adapt a version for future videos, I think your suggestion is important 💜💙

[@rezsnapper]

Whoops, sorry replied from wrong account.

[@JamesJohnsonQ]

August is gonna destroy my key reserves, which isn't much

[@rezsnapper]

Yowch

[@Eureca]

Yea as of now I am saving all my keys for August. I don't have many series 4/5 cards. August has a lot of older cards that I want. I also kinda tempted for Thanos is July, but not sure he is worth trying for.

[@johnberry5296]

How do you know about the 2x Spidey months?? Maybe you should be doing a video about it?

[@rezsnapper]

There were some leaks which show artwork for the September (Spidey) season and names added for expected October (Symbiotes) season. I'll have some videos soon for each!

[@thedonhorusgaming5165]

Are Makkari, Hydra Bob & Speed worth to get?

[@rezsnapper]

Makkari I don't think so. Hydra Bob is very interesting but I don't think so. Speed is probably the best from these but I think there's better cards than these soon (Arishem, Ajax, Copycat) to name several soonish.

[@rezsnapper]

BUT most importantly is personal preference!

[@danielsmid3777]

But those Iron Lad and Jeff variants are top, I need to get them!

[@ResolvedRage]

Im patiently waiting for goblin queen and mary jane.

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah, I'd love to see some more civilian type characters. They could do a really cool scheme and just release some niche, low power but cool/weird civilian cards as free cards, like JJJ and Mary Jane.

[@darkvoid5944]

Copycat seems beyond insane def a insta pickup from me

[@Dendalus84]

Arent each spotlight caches 4 cards. 1 new one, 2 series 4/5 (either first time getting them or variants) and then a random series 4/5 card? So dont you need to be going into each week thinking you are spending 4 keys not 3? I only just started playing since December of last year so maybe its cause I dont have all the series 4/5 cards from before that im seeing that 4th thing. But Ive been doing the same with except count 4 each week. Ill be dropping major keys Next month cause there is alot of cards I want and even after that. The month after Young Avengers im praying is not great so I can try to save up keys lol.

[@joedoe7572]

As he says, you probably need to spend four, but you gain one per week just by playing the game, so that's a overall loss of three

[@joedoe7572]

Ooh. Wow. Forcing a shuffle after playing Copycat is awesome, and going to be horrible to play against. I don't know why no one thought of this until now. Thanks!

[@unitesupportking3439]

Should u get arushem? New player with 950 collection and 4 keys

[@rezsnapper]

I think it will be important (for you as a new player) to wait to see some videos after release because they're great research. Alex Coccia will have a video about it, I'm sure that will be useful to watch. So wait a few days after it comes out is my advice 💜💙 I'll also have a Snap or Pass video about it on Friday, so that should help too

[@foxzter6440]

My keys are gonna take a toll for those August flaviano variants 😭

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah they're spicy as hell.

[@writerd6910]

Wait, how do you get approximately 1.25 keys a week? Is that by purchasing bundles with Spotlight cache keys? Is that by upgrading the majority of your collection and doing a lot of splits how are you accomplishing this?

[@rezsnapper]

That's just the free to play rate of accumulation.

[@writerd6910]

@@rezsnapper Wait, really? Because the only way I currently know how to get keys is to upgrade cards in your collection or buy them in bundles. From what I am hearing I am right now missing out on a HUGE source of FTP keys.

[@rezsnapper]

Well yeah, you need to upgrade cards to work through the collection track, but the rate at which you can do that, by spending the credits you get as a free to play player, is just over 1 key a week.

[@writerd6910]

@@rezsnapper Oh, okay...although I dread the thought that, that will mean my collection will be filled with a bunch of infinity splits at Epic/Legendary purely for the sake of it. I am currently aiming to get my entire collection to Infinite Rarity, but of course mostly FTP outside of the season pass and the occasional gold. I have very few splits.

[@rezsnapper]

Keep an eye on the boosters section in the shop, you might be able to target cards you want to upgrade instead of wasting on one's you don't.

[@jeffsenecal4168]

Helllo .. Yeah 18 keys you need to be careful you might run out before the game closes shop forever... 😅

[@rezsnapper]

Hey! 😂😂😂 With back to back Spidey and Symbiote seasons, those saved up keys are going to get evaporated.

[@jeffsenecal4168]

I'm just kidding around my freind. I had over 20 saved and when I decided to spwndem they were gone goone gone with a quickness... Keep making great content. Subbed.

[@rezsnapper]

Thank you 💜💙 😍

[@Undeniable18]

im ftp and i only have 4 keys and i have to make sure i get Arishem

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah I think Arishem looks so much fun, especially good for people with smaller collections so they can try out cards they don't have.

[@KMGEmperor]

Greta video! While we have the economy we have, this is the best way to make sure everyone is being wise with their resources

[@rezsnapper]

Thank you KMG!

[@joseph2000117]

Good takes. It's odd to me how it seems like more people think Hulkling will be good while Copycat is meh even though she gives Intel

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah, it's baffling to be honest. I'll be doing a Hulkling 6-Cost Copy Tier List nearer his release.

[@rezsnapper]

I mean I could do a Copycat one but that would be a long video. I could just whizz through them.... 😂😂😂

[@scrowll1565]

Copycat is just like Red Guardian, the difference is that she activates even without you playing It, this type of archetype is growing with red Guardian, Baron Zemo, Gladiator and now with copycat. She's a good card but I don't like this play style of controlling the opponent by removing cards or their text, easy skip

[@kingkam2323]

Call me crazy but im saving 8 keys for that Flaviano Speed variant.

[@shawnjohnson2229]

I hate this key system so much if they are not going to alow us to pick what we want they should atleast prioritize getting new cards over variants of cards you already have and if I'm going to get thr 4th option being a random card it should never be a duplicate or it should be full token compensation for a duplicate not just 1k tokens

[@rezsnapper]

Yeah it's really rough. Not a good card acquisition system at all.

[@fataniheart]

good planning

[@rezsnapper]

Thank you!
