The BEST CARDS of 2024! | Marvel Snap Chat Podcast

[@Madao59]

Mailbag for 2025: do a quick friendly game at the end of podcast!

[@Benjamin11-y9h]

It could be with their favourite deck for the card that released that week

[@ItsterrenceLa]

they could build theme decks and try to guess the others theme lol

[@kingsnail1005]

Yeah that would be great

[@grivoc]

Heck ya great idea

[@pratik611]

This is an insane idea!!

[@majorpsych]

When you said Alpha Force, I assume you meant Alpha Flight 😅 The Spotlight variant we got for Sasquatch was the Sasquatch from Alpha Flight! As someone from Ottawa, I always loved them because their HQ was under the parliament buildings 😊 I’m hoping for an Alpha Flight season! 🇨🇦

[@kingsnail1005]

Alpha flight

[@sycasey]

I really thought Sasquatch was just the Alpha Flight character, but apparently just the variant is! Comics are confusing.

[@harleyjo4875]

@@sycaseynot really.

[@hawkeyes2814]

Pixie is slept on. People talk about how high evo is not strong, but add pixie to high evo with moon girl. Aso pixie with THOR, BRB, and lock jaw is another slept on deck

[@richieagame503]

I played and thors package with pixie mysterio and hit monkey. And mockingbird. Would slap turn 6.

[@MegaStylex]

Does pixie work on the cards that are in deck when it reveals? I thought it’s all starting cards

[@hawkeyes2814]

@@MegaStylex It works on cards in the deck. I forgot the actual deck I was running, but it had wasp and a couple 1s so I would get like a 1 cost magneto or a 1 cost hulk. I would cycle them through lockjaw with the hammers. Only weakness is if jane foster is still in your deck, she becomes a 6 cost sometimes. but lockjaw in one lane, thor in another and BRB in the third lane is the key. There are other variations also, you can run pixie and phastos, you can also run madam web. Madam web and lock jaw in the same lane can guarantee a win because you can move your power around

[@alz397]

Pixie is one of my fav cards of ALL time. 💪🏽🔥 love her!!!

[@dreadwitchqueen]

@@hawkeyes2814 only cards that started in your deck.

[@MrsKing-xp5jc]

Thank you kindly for answering my little one's mailbag question. She was so happy. Our best to both of you. (Noelle) Thank you!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Of course! 😎

[@michaelnicholson7813]

Just caught the episode and hearing my LAN party story echo through your channel was the cherry on top of a great year! Huge congrats on hitting 100,000 subscribers, that's a massive level-up! As we snap into 2025, I can't wait to see what strategies and surprises you’ll unveil next. As we closeout, may your decks be mighty and your snaps victorious. Wishing you and Cozy both an epic New Year filled with joy, wins, and even more fans tuning in each week! Cheers friends to more thrilling episodes and game-changing moments on The Snap Chat! 🥂

[@AdvaitChatterji]

32:47 not only is Wolverine Canadian but so are Deadpool and Sabretooth. And the most recent addition to superheroes who hail from Canada is Snowguard I believe

[@slagathor54]

They could increase the chances of Bruce transforming based on the amount of energy skipped. That might help.

[@Rambrus0]

Thats a very interesting idea. 20% for each energy skipped. You can hulk out if you skip a complete turn. That would be awesome.

[@kennycarranza2822]

Love the Best Cards 2024 segment--goin down memory lane. Forgot what a monster month July was and I think Ajax was my fav card release of the year.

[@IAmZanderStewart]

15:15 Sage is my favourite of the year… Negative-sage, on a wong/mystique full lane (in Kamor Taj or Onslaught Citadel 😮) goes sooooo, so big, the most massive 3, it ends up bigger than some very well worked Knull plays and no one expects it with a good negative game!! Agent Venom is a close 2 for consistent balanced power, it doesn’t break decks but it makes them very powerful and much more fun to play

[@montecarlocars]

The most insane thing about this past year for me is that Arishem continues to be the closest thing we have to a draft mode. Maybe at some point next year Second Dinner will finally launch a real draft mode, but until then I think Arishem’s impact on the game is unmatched by any other card.

[@ZenlessZoneEnjoyer]

And they nerfed it for no reason other than yap

[@wapael]

Wolverine was indeed in Alpha Flight! I used to have old issues from the 80s until my dad gave them away :( Happy New Year!

[@NidgeDFX]

Mailbag Q&A: Congrats on 100K! You deserve it more than most. You are very relatable when watching live and on this podcast as you say it how it is and only sugar coat on a pg lvl, but I digress.... I think Activate should get a last turn buff and either do A) Plays as a reveal on last turn Or B) Activates at the end of game (like Dracula does)

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Cull Obsidian is definitely a great card. A 4/10 with an easy effect that they actually had to buff Crossbones for😂

[@johnberry5296]

Who the hell are Alpha Force???? Alpha FLIGHT are the Canuck heroes boys 😊

[@dshove2169]

I was yelling at them about that. 😂

[@michaelhill8697]

Same.

[@ApolloAndyMIT]

No mention of the unbalance patches earlier this year: Power couples for Valentines and the Avenger v. Xmen events. I loved those events and thought they added a new dimension to the meta. Just as good as the limited time modes if not better.

[@So1nic3X]

I’m new but I liked Gor this year. Gave me a reason to play mr.negative

[@justinevans2118]

Meanwhile danger room killing ever one of my cards and Bruce banner refuses to hulk out 😐

[@AdvaitChatterji]

The secret to having Danger Room fail to kill your card is to play a destroy deck. It'll fail on 1, 2, 3, and then destroy your Venom on 4 guaranteed.

[@FettyPotter]

Sage and Sersi were my 2 favorites of the year especially Sersi’s spotlight variant

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I knew Bruce Banner would be bad because not only is it a 25%, you HAVE to have unspent energy just for that chance. Plus 12 power doesn't even seem particularly great now when we have cards that simply have really good effects

[@KennanW]

And if he got any power from Misty it is wasted if he transforms

[@masterpug13]

Alpha FLIGHT, and Wolverine was a member. The found him immediately after he escaped from Weapon X. Also, Deadpool is Canadian! I believe Windego is as well.

[@juancarloslopezegea9085]

Congrats for the 100k subscribers! Happy new year Alex and for all comunnity!!!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Happy new year!

[@NERD-ROBOT]

Mailbag Question: SD slogan this fall has been "We are listening". The community is obviously super active in the game and have their fingers on the pulse of weak and broken cards. There are so many good ideas on how to improve or fix these cards, yet SD has said they actively avoid community suggestions on this topic. They claim it's due to potential legal issues, but a simple disclaimer on the Discord channel would prevent that. What are your thoughts on SD not listening to the community on how to fix weak/broken cards while actively saying "they are listening".

[@ZenlessZoneEnjoyer]

It’s a slap in the face to say that they are listening to the community while not listening to community advice on dogshit cards. Nobody that is posting an idea thinks they deserve to be paid for said idea because they are posting it on a public server. They just want the idea implemented

[@NERD-ROBOT]

@@ZenlessZoneEnjoyer 100%

[@harleyjo4875]

So what’s the alternative, giving all dogshit cards complete viability?? So every card in Snap should be winning you a game?? Seriously, what do you expect from a change like this.

[@NERD-ROBOT]

@@harleyjo4875 You're missing the point. The issue isn't about the cards, it's that SD says they are 'listening' when they're not, at least about cards, which is pretty important for a card game.

[@Dujma]

My guys. Madame web is currently one of the strongest cards in the game; move bounce is currently the tier0 deck in the top meta.

[@UndeadEggmiester]

This was a crazy year of ups and downs for cards. But my favorite cards this year were pixie, silver sable, and scream.

[@salfredo]

A change to bruce could be uping the percentage depending on how much energy you are floating

[@DanteInformal]

Nico Minoru got her start in comics as a member of a teen hero squad called The Runaways. I think that team is LONG overdue for a season spotlight so all of Nico's friends can finally be in the game.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I've loved War Machine since day 1 even as an On Reveal, and now he's even better just because people didn't like him lol. And Grandmaster has always been great for On Reveal effects! I don't get the hate for Black Swan because saving your hand and having FREE cards for Hitmonkey last turn was great!

[@anildemirezen3533]

Hear me out Bruce Banner gets a workover like this: for every unspend Energy he gets a 20% Chance to hulk out. So if you have 5 energy you get 100%

[@ZenlessZoneEnjoyer]

Yea that’s not op at all *eyeroll emoji*

[@b1adernner]

Alpha Force is your favorite, yet you don’t know that it’s Alpha Flight…

[@papawheelie973]

This is good recap for cards that came out this year

[@Flash2195.]

Wolverine was part of Alpha Flight

[@kelzakdub]

Guys. Alpha Flight! Not force 🤦‍♂️ Alex is literally Canadian

[@IsaiahMcGrue]

@mailbag for 2025: u and cozy playing magic is awesome! My New Year’s resolution is seeing you guys play a game of commander together. Also do either of you guys have a favorite deck or commander?

[@GorbombZombay]

Pyro/Kurt Russel Ego maybe a Costco hotdog 🌭 for my wishlist of new characters 😂 took October-November off but yinz always hook me back in when SD lets me down lookin forward to many more snapchats next year!

[@angus3876]

Bruce banner has been huge for me in surprise ultron. Banner on 2 into another 2 drop, patriot 4, kazar or mystique on 5 then ultron 6. Banner has 3 chances to hulk out and you still have the stretch of ultron bots at 6 power

[@essex4515]

I died a little inside every time I heard Alpha Force. Alpha Flight, folks. Flight!!

[@AvgBlue]

Mailbag: I think Bruce Banner needs to have more outcomes on his roulette. So my idea is: 2/1 Bruce Banner When you end a turn with unspent Energy: 50% chance to afflict a random enemy card with -2 Power. 25% chance to HULK OUT! Bruce has a gun in his art, so maybe he can use it. It could have an animation of Bruce shooting the gun and missing for the 25% chance when nothing happens. Now you also want to run Abomination in your Evo deck with Bruce because Bruce plays for the unspent Energy archetype and the affliction archetype and this is a perfect Evo card if I ever known one.

[@YaBoyMOTO]

🚨MAILBAG 🚨 YOU DID IT ALEX! Congrats on the 100k brother. Your hard work will continue to pay off as you take us into the new year with some of the best content on KZbin. Thanks again and have a Happy New year!

[@AlexanderCoccia]

Thank you for the support, it means a lot!

[@eclipticender281]

After that Christmas music tier list, I feel like we need a Christmas movie tier list

[@eduardverschuur5578]

I am SO jealous of you getting to see Dream Theater, ive been on here and your twitch a few times saying how much i love them, but in South Africa it is so rare to get nice bands performing here I was fortunate enough to see my second favourite band Iron Maiden live back in 2016 when i was 14😁

[@saku6633]

Congrats Alex on your Hundred K of subs!!! hard work is paying off my guy.

[@KennanW]

Banner should turn into a weaker form of the Hulk like he does first in Rivals with a higher chance but gain a reduced version of High Evo Hulk's passive as well

[@Jpopcarrot]

I got Bruce banner from spotlight cache

[@U2be93]

I’d love to see Kahhori in Marvel Snap. Great character in What If…? Have an idea for her as well; Energy: 4 Power: 5 Each turn, move the first card you play here to a random location (if able). Thoughts? 🤔

[@darthpayback]

I love Scream too. I am not a good player, and don't have a lot of time to play. But Scream got me as high as I have ever been, all the way to 98 (before I had never got over 75).

[@Stickyz]

Mailbag : As an f2p player that doesnt buy the season pass, it's pretty frustrating that I cant use my tokens to bypass terrible spotlight caches anymore due to season pass cards being mostly missing from caches. I still haven't had a single chance to get Gilgamesh.

[@jmelovesGod]

Bruce Banner Idea: What if the odds increased each turn you had unspent energy, or the more energy you float the higher chance you have of hulking out.

[@tgnemesis2477]

I think banner should guaranteed hulk out after floating 4 energy, that way you’d utilize a total of 6 energy and get a hulk. Then it would be a puzzle of which turn will they float the right amount of energy to avoid Shang chi or will it be at the end of the game OR you could float the perfect amount to gain prio for the following turn.

[@jace-thecomicsource561]

Wolverine was a member of Dept H the Alpha FLIGHT predecessor

[@huntertausch1909]

Mailbag: I can think of two ways to buff Bruce "poopoo." 1: have the liklihood of him hulking scale with the number of turns/energy skipped. 2: Have him hulk after skipping a set energy / turns (i was thinking 3 energy (5-12, which might be a bit much, but can easily be changed to 4)). Would like your thoughts.

[@xcwarrior]

I like the idea it goes, 25%, 35%, 45% each time. Like he's getting angrier each time and can't hold it together as well.

[@shanedbunting]

Grandmaster so good , and I've got a dope split of him I missed the card juggling art though.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

14:27 I still don't have Sage and people constantly talk about her and I feel bad not having Sage...😅

[@bkbam_gaming]

Mailbag: I would love to see X-Man (Nathan Summers) make an appearance in the game. I also would love to see Spiral, Clea Strange, Brother Voodoo, Dormammu, Shuma Gorath, Blackheart, Dark Phoenix, Hobie Brown, or Union Jack

[@ledsenkatt]

My opponents banner's were popping instantly or the next turn And Pixie/Sersi are incredibly fun cards, I love both too

[@hugodom]

Alex you did my man… you reached 100.0000!!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@Shax22132]

Thanks for the video, and be sure to take care of yourself in the new year. :)

[@OldmanNix]

3 keys for Banner BUT I got Gilgamesh. Always wanted that card but didn't want to spend 6k tokens on it. Been really fun to finally play a Zoo deck.

[@JeremyCuddlesSnap]

2/12 sounds crazy on paper. But I am pretty sure we have 2 costs who can achieve something similar. Thena can hit high numbers and Agent Venom as well can achieve insane numbers. Especially if you hit some super high value cards like Iron Man and even a Hood. That's a 6 power swing hitting Hood. On top of AV's premium stat line. They could make Bruce Banner a 33% chance to proc and it'd still probably be cheeks honestly. That's a card that should just have been given away for free as a promotion between the games.

[@crackingpenny3186]

I think for evo to make its return it needs the effects to return to their launch abilities

[@BirdNerd375]

Mailbag: “Alpha Force”? Hearing y’all talk about Marvel characters drives me crazy. They are called “Alpha Flight”. And yes, Alpha Flight was literally created to serve as a backstory for Wolverine during Logan’s amnesia era in Canada. Lastly, Alpha Flight has some of the worst comics and characters in Marvel continuity. Aka Sasquatch. We don’t need any more Alpha Flight.

[@filux7329]

i might be coping because i rolled 4 keys this week, BUT out of all the spotlight caches this month this one was still by far the best

[@eclectic9210]

Topic of Top 5 characters you want cards for? Yes please! And don't forget the stats and abilities for each.

[@sycasey]

Outside of Alpha Flight, we need cards for: 1. Peggy Carter (kind of shocking there isn’t one already) 2. Dormammu 3. Proteus 4. Power Pack (any of them) 5. Boom Boom (a.k.a. Boomer, Meltdown)

[@coleeg69]

Love playing Red Guardian on turn 3 when they play Bruce Banner on turn 2 😆 🤣 such a easy counter!

[@masmas8453]

Quit the game right around Cadsandra Nova release cause of massive price point for new cards, basically don't have enough time to grind those keys. Is there any chance for returning players to play descent decks? Stil enjoy your content from time to time, both of you Alex and Cozy. Your chemistry and charisma is contagious. Thank you for staying strong and hoping for a better future for the game.

[@xIKeepaIx]

I would like to see the White Widow nerf reverted, it would work so well with Luna Snow.

[@retro7070]

It gives me It gives me physical pain to hear you say Alpha Force in reference to "alpha flight" . And we already have a member in SNAP- Sasquatch. And who Alex might be referencing was Guardian?

[@Youngjusticeful]

I think what Bruce Banner needs is need to gain +2 card for each turn and add those points to hurling out. That what I think it should do.

[@valenetta8017]

Mailbag: after hearing you both play magic the gathering I need to ask, what magic commander decks do you like to play, and what is your favorite color out of the five? From a white player

[@napioor]

This week I got a copy of Copycat and of course Bruce all the while I'm missing both other cards... It wasn't a good week

[@willsears4276]

3:27 You got insanely unlucky with those Bruce Banners cause I'm pretty sure with ten chances the odds for at least one to Hulk out would've been 99.99990463% (The maths being 1-(0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25x0.25))

[@jasonliang2932]

"Alpha Force" makes me weep for humanity

[@Devillionaire]

I love how they talk smack on Bruce, meanwhile I replaced Jeff with him in my Evo deck and have been smashing Conquest mode with it it ever since. I guess everybody's experience is different LOL.

[@elliotalford2902]

BTW, best Christmas song: Dominic the Donkey (Yes, I'm a week late)

[@Araknidz]

Mailbag: A potential rework for Adam is to make him bring back one of your destroyed cards, like ghost rider

[@JasssparDesign]

32:09 Alpha flight*

[@hqsmutantes6261]

damn, 1 year and I still dont have Miek. How long will take to have bruce banner?

[@Solemnyty]

Totally thought Alex’s card of the year was going to be King Eitri 😏😂

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

I was saying I never understood the hype for Madame Web!😂 I only got her because people said she would change the game. I had some good games but not my playstyle and now I don't even have her in my move deck anymore😅

[@joseph2000117]

Cozy conveniently forgetting Hulkling LOL

[@FiestaTX17]

My favorite cards released this year are: 1. Cannonball 2. Sersi 3. Anti-Venom 4. Luna Snow 5. Namora 6. Nocturne 7. Supergiant 8. War Machine 9. US Agent 10. Copycat

[@matthewmorrison1916]

You mean Alpha Flight?

[@gordonshogren8579]

Bring on the brotherhood of mutants. So many minor characters that can fill niche roles.

[@ItsBozo_]

Sersi and pixie are so slept on

[@ThatSlushieBoi]

I felt like I was one of the most excited for Bruce banner because I absolutely love high evo. I’ve been playing it even when it’s not popular. Sadly I’m one of those unlucky people that never gets hulk. So I found that all of my evo decks do better without him.😢

[@BetarayBillLover]

Perfect timing was right about too walk my dog

[@hqsmutantes6261]

I just got Cannonball cause I love Sam, good it turned out a good card

[@keeganmccall2604]

I would love to see gorget me not in snap somehow! Maybe his card goes invisible after play until the end of the game, and you just gotta remember where he was

[@An.Unsought.Thought]

I rolled the card because I expect it to get buffed. I wanted the High Evo variant anyway. But I bet Banner will get a buff to 50% instead. They might give it slightly more power too.

[@danielcolvin4866]

MAILBAG - Is first bumping always BM? Or is it situational?

[@houseofcory]

ITS ALPHA FLIGHT!!! 😆

[@SnapandBoomGaming]

Mailbag: for 2025 We want more game modes but the issue is most people grind all season to get to rank 100 especially new players have to climb 100 long ranks. Then you have conquest to unlock rewards then you have special events for cards. There are so many things to do that doing those and getting to 100 makes this game WAY TO FRUSTRATING. It pulls you 8 ways and all you can play is the one meta deck to climb cause everything else needs to get completed in 4 weeks to get everything before starting over and doing it again

[@DannyBob526]

I think making Bruce banner be a “if you have not used ___ energy” it would be good. Might be to strong in evo tho

[@hudsonharris2]

Tbh I love conquest. I look forward to infinity CQ week!

[@Yzilthir]

MAILBAG: If you had to co-script an episode of "What if" what characters would you focus it on? Also, might be an European hot take, but please, switch Jack Daniel's with some proper Apple Juice, like Bushmills

[@carson7561]

I literally did not see any of my opponents bruce banner hulk out a single time

[@ashrael37]

It's Alpha Flight. I thought you liked them? And just for that, you've been cast as "Puck" in any future Alpha Flight movie.

[@ianohern7855]

I have a pet Havok deck and I like Bruce in that deck

[@emdawgz1]

I added it to my Devil Dino / Infinaut deck and won 5 in a row
