Cozy Snap (00:00):
What's up guys.
Welcome back.
We've got a new month of theSnapchat and a much better month
for Marvel snap.
February had some pretty badcards, but the prehistoric
Avengers look promising.
Starting with the season passcard that has a big, bad feel to
it and a lot of unique cards toarchetypes that I haven't seen
love in quite a while.
Alex and I are going to breakdown all those, giving our
rankings, our review.

(00:20):
And then of course, we're goingto give the highlights.
Of the recent ota i'm excitedabout this episode a lot to
break down And we're gonna talkabout that all today more on
this episode of the snapchat Andas always I am joined by the one
the only the handsome, mr Alexkocha and my gosh, man This i've
got to be honest.
This is the most excited i'vebeen for a season in a minute,

(00:40):
man The season pass card hassome fun stuff around it and the
and the cards look really cool.
The theme is cool And we'recoming off the, the high that
was Sanctum Showdown, or atleast the high of the first 24
hours of Sanctum Showdown at aspicy OTA.
It was a fun week, man.

Alexander Coccia (00:56):
It was a crazy week.
And I got to tell you, havingyou call me handsome is so
validating.
Not only do I greatly value youropinion, but if someone who is
incredibly handsome, callsomeone else handsome, it's got
to be worth something, you know?
And I got to tell you, I wasactually talking to my wife and
I was like, you know what?
I got to get a haircut todaybefore the Snapchat, because I
think this is about the timethat Cozy gets a haircut.
And I was like, I gotta have ahaircut if he does, you know,

(01:19):
I'm just trying to bring my gamein.

Cozy Snap (01:20):
I almost wore a jacket today.
And then I was like, ah, dude,either you or one of the
comments is going to call me insync again.
I was like, I'm going to putthat one away.
I'm going to, I'm just going toput a hoodie on today.
Call it a day.
It's like one of the few daysit's ready.
And San Diego got, got.
You know, especially cozy vibesgoing on right now, but yeah,
man.
Hey, listen, what did you thinka showdown?
What a what a fun 24 hours, man,right?

I actually really enjoyed it I did a lot
and I will say that I think therewards felt more accessible
than expected Yeah, because Ithink the twist drops were very
generous without that I think itwould have been a little grindy
in that way I will say though.
I felt like I had a pretty goodaccumulation of scrolls.
I played for like literally 16hours the first two days because
of twitch drops and everythingand I only spent 40 gold on one

(02:03):
set of scrolls, because peoplewanted me to keep going, I did.
Other than that, like, when Iwent on for my second stream,
like, I had scrolls waiting forme, and and then I unlocked
scrolls as you kind of level upand whatever.
It wasn't as, like, it wasn't asrestrictive as I perhaps
expected.

Cozy Snap (02:17):
The starting amount was much more generous than we
thought.
I think, like, we didn't knowthe number when, when we
recorded it last time.
They didn't, like, release thevideo yet.
Actually, I was making thevideo.
So, of course, they didn'trelease the video yet.
But also, hey, this is the firsttime we're doing the dang
Snapchat, and we have the videoreleased on the season ahead.
I know, man, it makes such adifference.
Oh my gosh, we actually knowwhat they're going to do.
And there's a couple that, like,I got this.

(02:38):
I'm like, Oh, Oh, there's one.
I know, you know what I'mtalking about.
And I was like, Oh, that wouldhave changed, you know,
dramatically on what we thoughtabout that card, which we'll,
we'll get to.
But yeah, man, it was it was agood time.
I thought it was enjoyable.
I think me and you called it thefirst 24 hours or so was, was
definitely the most fun, thehoneymoon period, you know, not
knowing what's going on.
You know, again, I guess playearly.

(02:59):
So, you know, right off the bat,I did.
You know, move cards and stuff.
And I knew that that was goingto be strong screamer out of the
battle.
I'm like, this is going to justbe just way too good.
But how cool was, how fun is itto have a new game mode where
people are complaining aboutguardians of the galaxy?
Never would've thought that'sthe best

part, man.
Like, I think it's really nicethat.
You know, you get these thisgame mode and then cards that
we're all seeing almost no playwhatsoever, like literally Drax,
okay.
Drax and Groot are suddenlybeing played unironically with
high effectiveness.
And that's great.
And yes, it's only two weeks.
It feels like an unbalancedpatch in some ways where like
guardians are getting their twoweeks where we get to play with

(03:35):
them, check them out, andthey're worth it.
And it was funny because I wastrying to do some cooks and
stuff using the guardians andeveryone started using the
guardians.
And and then what happened was Iwas like, okay, hold on.
I'm going to counter the metahere.
I'm not going to play theguardians and I'm going to
anticipate that they're playingthe guardians.
So I started playing like Thena,Havoc and cards that can
increase power into thoselocations without me playing

(03:55):
into them.
I was playing a Mr.
Fantastic unironically, and Iwas winning games, man.
You add seven power with Mr.
Fantastic and Havoc, right?
Without even playing in alocation.

Cozy Snap (04:05):
Yeah.
Miss Marvel, Mr.
Fantastic felt fun and good.
Those are really good againstbots, especially because they
just, they didn't know how to doit.
But yeah, man, it was, it was.
Interesting, you know what it isabout these limited time game
modes is that high voltage i'mexcited for we're gonna get that
this month first coaster I justgonna be the the reward card for
that.
Hell.
Yeah, man I think what it is andI know there's a couple out
there.
There are people that enjoydeadpool's diner That's the one

(04:27):
that feels off in rotation.
I think they are revisiting itor something like that They they
mentioned but like, you know ahigh voltage in this game mode
Are great.
So like these going on cycle.
I'm like, yeah, like I cantotally we get a couple more in
there, man And then you're outin the draft mode and then you
got a lot of variants, you knowYou got a lot of stuff happening
here general ladder You got thelimits of time game mode to get
the new card and then you gotpotentially What would be a

(04:48):
draft mode that's gonna stay orwhatever, right?
I think that is exciting, youknow in itself

And I think it makes a lot of sense that they
release it on the tail end ofthe season.
Because if you think about it,you got a new season, you get
two cards, a season pass card,exactly what we're going to be
talking about today.
The reason why we're all excitedtoday, right?
But you also have the, the resetof the ranks.
And so people get some time toget new.
They get a couple of weeks to gothrough the ranks.
Get towards infinite, they getto infinite and they're like,
well, now what I'm going to do,I mean, me, I'm going to grind
to, you know, I don't care aboutgrinding infinite ranks.

(05:16):
Like I just don't care.
Right.
So when I get a new game mode,hell yeah, I'm going to kind of
engage with that.
That's, that's awesome.
And I will tell you this, thismode felt very fun and it felt
like they worked within theconfines of like Marvel snaps,
capabilities, locations, thecards, and really did a
fascinating new spin on it.
Like.
High voltage is cool, but it'sstill kind of Marvel snap.
And I liked the fact that it'slike a snap, quickie way to play

(05:38):
games and not have to worryabout ranks or winning or losing
or anything, but this felt veryunique and I liked it.

Cozy Snap (05:44):
It felt like it put the importance in cards rather
than combos.
And I think that's what really Ienjoyed about it.
Like, you know, I'm not likehigh voltage is the opposite,
right?
So like ladder's kind of theneutral high voltage is like,
what crazy stuff can you getdone the fastest?
And then this felt like, yeah,there's combo base, but it's
like.
You know think about how manylike individual cars heck they
had a ban like a ton moreBecause there are so many that

(06:06):
were just universally Reallystrong and performed.
Well, I think that wasrefreshing.
And then yeah, the rewards are Ithink just right?
You know, I think those feltgood.
I still I didn't love the rngaspect I think we could you
know, we already talked aboutthat last week with the portal
pulls or whatever But they stillfelt really good in in general
and it was good to go.
But yeah, man, i'm excitedListen, we've got what I, you

(06:28):
know, I said in the, in thepreview feels like an old big
bad card is what this seasonpass card feels like.
You know what I mean?
Like the dawn of highevolutionary, that kind of stuff
is what this season pass cardfeels like.
So let's just get into it.
But before we talk about that,what are we talking about on
your side of the Snapchat

cozy on my side of the Snapchat, we're
going to be discussingFebruary's cards in review and
that's actually going to includethe sanctum cards We're doing a
massive review giving ourimpressions of everything you
unlocked in the sanctum andeverything You might have gotten
through the caches throughoutthe past season.
And then finally as always oursnapchat

Cozy Snap (06:59):
mailbag.
That's dude I always get excitedfor the new season just Because
I feel like the first coupleweeks especially it's just like
there's so much to talk about somuch to break down even if we
revisit these pretty soon afterand again, always, always fun
looking back interview on yourside of like, what, what did we
say?
What did we say?
So this season, and I think,Hey, listen, February, we were
pretty down on the cards.

(07:19):
I feel like we got those right,but we'll have to see.
How are we doing this onebecause this could be a trap
season in the sense of we getexcited about a lot Of cards,
maybe they don't all end upright But there is one card
agamotto the season pass cardthat I think is gonna be a
pretty revolutionary for thegame Five cost ten power
freaking arrow just went down tofive nine What the hell five
cost ten power game startshuffle four ancient arcana into

(07:42):
your deck and we're gonna get tothe spells And what they do but
the new banished cards that youcan draw and they, they can be
played to do different thingsand we'll go through those, you
know, I'll get them all onscreen right now so you guys can
see them and then we'll gothrough them one at a time.
But Alex.
Let's start with just general,what do you think about
Agamotto, star ratings?

You know what?
There's a number of cards Ireally like this, this season.
And I really was wrestling as towhich card I wanted to give the
coveted 5 to, right?
And I feel like I have to giveit to Agamotto.
Because I feel like this mightbe a new archetype defining card
that has, I think, a pretty wideapplication of where it could
go.
But I can see it creatingsomething new, and I don't see

(08:24):
it Falling flat like and if itdoes there's so many avenues to
tweaking buffing it andeverything like that But I don't
even see it hitting that becausethese these are kingdom are
crazy.
Their con is fantastic So it'slike I don't know man.
I think this card is great I'mleaning in five starts for the
season pass card this one.

Cozy Snap (08:41):
It's a 510 at base.
You got that going for it Yeah,dad some cars to your deck, but
then we've seen cars like, youknow I'm not saying we've seen
cars like that like Thanos Whichis I guess an example, but more
so like there are cards that canjust fit with other good cards.
Like this is going to be a goodcard that goes in a good card
decks and or you know,companies, other archetypes that
we know or brand new ones, asyou just said.
So let's go through some ofthese spells.

(09:01):
I agree though.
Funny enough, I wrestled betweenthis and one other one.
There's a lot that were close tolike top card of the month.
I think it's got to be Agamotto.
I think they nailed the cardthey're going to give away.
I think this guy's gonna be onethat you're gonna really feel
like you missed and we don'ttypically say that I don't feel
like i've said that a while andI do feel like he gives those
vibes off for sure so goingthrough all of the spells one by

(09:21):
one, you know, he's a 510 We'lltalk about his synergies and
stuff in just a moment and thenwe can talk about you know
Package as a whole.
Let's go and start with thefirst spell and we'll pull up
winds of what whom?
Which is a two cost, zero powercard on reveal, afflict an enemy
card here with negative fivepower, move it to the right, and
then banish this.
So the banished cards go away,they can't be brought back under

(09:44):
any circumstance at the moment,and Winsor Wattomb, well let's
go ahead and give kind ofinitial spell excitement.
What do you think are gonna belike the best spells, you know
and what do you think synergizeswith this?
I think right away, dude, youplaying a move player, man.
You could just like, dude, ifthis thing goes on like a human
torch, you're just, you're inthere play immediately.
But yeah, this is definitely apretty solid one.

One thing I want to preface this
conversation with is I didnotice in the The season reveal
trailer that these didn'tactually have power levels.
I think they removed the powerlevels from them.
And I think they did that soRovona can't synergize with
them.
But we don't have confirmationof that as of recording.
It's just something I want tokind of throw out there that we
need to check into.
Because if they don't havepowers, Rovona can't interact
with them.
Yeah, I don't think they havepowers.
And so that's something worthnoting.

(10:26):
Yeah, it's just It's just anunanswered question we have as
of recording.

Cozy Snap (10:29):
They did add though, I do want to say they did in the
OTA, they added characters, acharacter as this like new
keyword.
So like Gwynpool for instance,can't hit these cards, it would
only hit Agamotto.
So like that is something thatthey added in, and so I don't
think these have power, but evenif they did, I feel like Ravonna
would be changed to charactersthat have, whatever, you know,
that, that's your way to addressthis moving forward.
And, and kind of confirmationthat we know that spells and or

(10:52):
equipment, whatever is going tobe coming into the game.
You know, a lot more.
Yeah,

absolutely.
And with specifically with thisfrom here I was leaning towards
like Galactus and I know thissounds crazy, but think about
this.
Think of what you can do.
You can push your card tonegative five power to the
right.
You can do the sentry Annihilusplay, right?
Annihilus just got buffed andyou can G man them and yeah,
they're probably going toretreat.
I understand that.
But you know what?
Like you might be able to clogthem so hard with so much

(11:18):
garbage.
That G Man might just absolutelyjust throttle them.
And so like, I look at that, butobviously, it's just a good card
anyways.
Like, but if you're looking fora very specific synergy, it's
entirely possible G Man might bethe call.

Cozy Snap (11:29):
I like that.
I actually didn't go thatdirection.
I was thinking more, obviously,just Affliction move to Exo
Scream.
Scream already getting anothercar that's gonna like but also
Especially that deck, you know,I think that deck is we'll
welcome agamotto the way itworks a little bit yeah, you're
gonna get scream less so it'sgonna be a bit awkward But he's
a powerful car that can maybekind of help that deck.
We'll see but also just theaffliction style too, so Diamond

(11:51):
back whatever but more so just Ifeel like obviously that's gonna
have some synergy there But Ilike the G Man call, that's a,
that's a fun one for sure.
Especially because there's otherspells, as Alex would call them,
the G Man, would appreciate.
That, we'll, we'll talk aboutthat.
But yeah, this one's prettystrong.
We can rank all the spells whenwe're done.
We'll go through them all first.
So Winds of War 2, next up we'vegot the Bolt of Bal Bal Balthak?

(12:13):
Bal Bal Balthak?
Ballsack?
What is this?
Yeah, Ballsack.
I was just

going to say, I was just going to let you roll
with it, but that's fine.
I

Cozy Snap (12:20):
hate these names, man, because I whatever.
Anyway, this one's cool, man.
Three costs.
Okay.
On reveal next turn, you getplus four energy.
Banish this.
So this is the one I was justreferring to with Galactus.
Super ramp.
And obviously there's anothercard I think this synergizes
with that you might be thinkingabout.
What do you think?

It's basically skip turn three, go ham.
And it's, I mean, notnecessarily skip turn three, you
play it on four, whatever,right?
It's just unlikely.
I mean, theoretically you canplay it on like five or
something, but you're going towant to play it early and really
ramp some stuff out.
I think it's going topotentially be playable with
something like like Esan, whichwe're going to talk about
shortly, right?
It's got to be who

Cozy Snap (12:59):
it's for, yeah.

Yeah, of course.
And you have the G Man.
One thing worth mentioning too,before we get too much further,
is like, it's such an,Agamotto's so interesting in the
sense that like, you can playall these without Agamotto ever
touching the board, right?
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Like, these are individualized.
So it's just like you can playThanos stones without Thanos
being there.
Like, these are just going to beavailable to you regardless of
whether or not you even drawAgamotto.
And so with that in mind, yeah,I think that this is potentially

(13:21):
very interesting.

Cozy Snap (13:22):
Yeah, I might be jumping ahead, but man, I'll
welcome this card if I getthere.
I mean, it's like, Oh gee, I'llskip turn three and have seven
energy next turn.
Like let's go, man.
That's crazy good.
But yes, definitely just areally strong ramp card.
You can build that in mind.
Agamotto yet again, I think it'sgoing to be a ramp is going to
give some love to ramp.
He feels like a strong fivecost.

(13:42):
And yes, you know, you know,you're adding ramp cars, you're
not, you're only diluting yourdeck by three and those cars are
still pretty good.
And there's some interestinginteractions there, so I, man, I
feel like he could give some newbirth to to ramp a little bit.
Images of Icon on reveal,transform your other cars here
into copies of the highest powerone.
You know this one I think looksthe coolest on paper you're like

(14:05):
whoa I think I think for themost part man people look at
this as a win more But I alsothink that if you don't you
don't always have to put it inthe lane with the 10 power the 9
power The 11 power even if youhave like five six what I mean,
I feel like you can really getthe you know, elaine One with
this thing by itself

thinking about and I'm gonna reach a little bit
here and this might be completecope But I of all of them this
one seems like perhaps maybe theweakest even the weakest It's
still good, right?
But what I was thinking waslike, let's say you're coping
and you play someone like Kingeatery Right?
You play King E Tree, you drawsomething, you draw an arcana,
or arcanum, I'm not sure thepluralization of them, but I
think it's arcanum as anindividual.

(14:44):
You pull it, right?
And then what you do, is youthen have King E Tree there, and
then you can play Images of aKhan on top of the King E Tree
location.
And you're going to rampsomething out.
So, you King E Tree, you rampsomething out, and then you
Basically, get rid of E Tree,because you already got
advantage, you already kind ofused your thing, and let's say
you played a Magneto you rampedout, King E Tree turns into

(15:05):
Magneto.
So you get the thing from him,and then you switch him over.
That was a very convolutedexplanation of what made a lot
more sense in my head than I

Cozy Snap (15:12):
anticipated.
No, no, no, no, it's definitelyfair.
I think, you know what it is, Ithink it's like, it'll be a nice
situation card every now andthen, like, Aw man, they won the
lane, I really needed to win,and then you could play this to
win that lane back, or whatever,maybe Living Tribunal, maybe,
you know, kind of thing.
But you're right, I would ratherhave the cards that I put in my
deck than this one, most of thetime, most of the time, I would
agree here you know, and it'sfunny because it sounds really

(15:34):
good, but sometimes you don'tneed to win more, you know, or
whatever it might be I do wantto state, by the way, that the,
the counter card, I guess I'mjumping ahead, but the counter
card, man, I think CassandraNova is going to wreck this guy,
you know, obviously, well,actually, dude, if these don't
have power, does she take themfrom it?
That's odd.

Oh man, I never considered that.
You're right.
If they don't have power, can'tCassandra Nova even I thought
Cassandra Nova was going

Cozy Snap (15:58):
to be the obvious synergy, er, er, or counter.
Because plug and play 2, soyou're just going to have it in
your own decks as well.
Oh dang, I don't even knowanymore.
And there's so many confusingthings, like they changed
something on first ghost riderthat made him worse.
I don't know, we'll see.
Anyway that one was a four cost.
So that's that's why it's rough.
This one is a one cost though onreveal Give agamotto plus three
power.
So he's a 13 power guard put himinto your hand Now, I don't know

(16:21):
if you saw the trailer dude.
He like he doesn't have the drawanimation.
He's just kind of like like So Idon't know, you know, I would
imagine if Ogamoto is not onthe, like, if he's discarded or
something, he can't come backfrom this, that, that would make
the most sense.
But the way it kind of theanimation looked funny to me it
was a little interesting, butI'm going to assume this, he
just gets pulled from your deck.

(16:43):
This is a one cost, so my gosh,what a great thing to get early.
You know, this is one thatyou're like, Heck yeah, man,
because you're gonna thin yourdeck, you're gonna get Agamotto
better.
This is just a great card topick all around.
It's one cost, so it's like,whatever, you know, kind of
works out fine.
I like this one.
This is a good one.

It's great because if you're, you're right,
if you get it early, you'retheoretically thinning your deck
by two because you have this outnice and early, you play this,
Agamotto comes out, and thatmeans that like, now your, your
deck effectively has two less ofthe cards that you added into
it.
Yep.
I mean, that means you also drewone less because you drew this
one.
Nevermind, take it back.
You are thinning by just one.
My math was a little off there.
But yeah, now he's a, what, a513 that you've now guaranteed

(17:21):
into your hand?
Like that's, that's actuallycrazy.
Think about how hard you got towork for you know, I was going
to say how hard you got to workat a four drop to get to 12, but
that's what Ares does prettyconsistently.
Nevermind.
Maybe there's lots of power outthere, but I'm still impressed
regardless of the 513.

Cozy Snap (17:34):
Yeah.
Keep in mind, these are all likeon reveals, right?
So like a lot of these can beabused multiple times.
That being a one cost is kind ofcracking and do a lot with that.
The

banish.

Cozy Snap (17:42):
The banish.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
The banish

prevents the scamming too much.
I think you

Cozy Snap (17:46):
just want, it's a Wong is really the thing you
could do with it.

Yes, or I guess the Taureus guy.

Cozy Snap (17:51):
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, so, listen, let's startwith the, the, the spells, best
or worst.
I'm thinking number one, what isnumber one to you?
Is it going to be it's going tobe what I already I forget the
name of that dang one that I wasthinking of here.
Number one.
Ballsack?
No, Ballsack I have at numbertwo.
I have, oh, no, no, no,Ballsack's one.
Two is Winds of Wutum.

(18:12):
No, yeah, probably Winds ofWutum, then Temporal, and then,
yeah, yeah, yeah, I would sayImages.
I would agree with that,

yeah.
I would agree with that order.
Like, I put Images of a Con atthe bottom.
And for me, Bolts and TemporalManipulation are kind of I don't
know man.
I don't know the the top threefeel like they could switch
through testing I think thatimages of a car will always be
at the bottom But I think that'simportant manipulation idea of
drawing him is super cool You'regonna want that

Cozy Snap (18:35):
first actually the more I think about it just being
able to thin the deckimmediately, too If you don't
have them in there, it's kind offunny actually So if you don't
have Agamotto in your startinghand Temporal is really good
because at that point you'rethinning you get the points You
already have the cards.
That's the best card period Ithink if you do have him It's
probably bolts or sorry.
Yeah, it's probably it'sprobably bolts or wins man It

(18:57):
depends when the game's beingplayed But bolts is so crazy
going into man going intothere's so many good times to
play bolts, right?
Because if you play bolts

would be it because you you definitely want
ramp I think this is a ramp cardas you said and like

Cozy Snap (19:10):
bro, imagine imagine 10 power on turn six Like that's
crazy.
That's so good.
You could play bolts and wins onturn six something like that,
right?
And then you could you could goin and play, agamotto plus a
five like it's I don't know Thatseems really good to me.
But anyway yeah, so let's talkabout synergy with this guy, you
know, first of all I just saidcassandra is gonna be against

(19:32):
him.
We talked about it last week acouple weeks ago Quinjet is I
don't think it's going to getthe play.
I don't I don't know.
I, you know what I mean?
It, it seems, it seems like youwon't want to put that in the
deck cause there's just otherthings you want to take
advantage of.
Maybe it ends up going in there.
I, funny enough, dude, we, wementioned Esan, we'll get to

(19:54):
him, but because of Esan,Arishem, I think it's just gonna
like make sense with all theextra energy in this deck.
Right?
Would you agree?

Yeah, I would.
Like, Ereshim helps you get toyou know, the, like, what's it
called?
Not only just the Images ofWukong, but I believe the Bolts
of Balzac.
Therefore, no, no, there's threeenergy.
There's three energy.
So, regardless, you would have,you'd have enough energy on turn
three, right?
Cause you'd have the extra from,From Ereshim, but, like, as a
whole, I think that Ereshim andIson are going to work together.

(20:22):
Ereshim is a very natural ramp,and I think Agamotto is going to
work well in ramp as well.
Like, it's very clear that,like, there is a lot of
potential synergy there.
And if I know anything withQuinjet players, they always
have it on turn one when they'reagainst me, and so, why not?

Cozy Snap (20:34):
Can I, can I show you a card, and I want you I'll let,
it's podcast, so it's going tobe visual first.
But I want you to react to whatyou think this might happen,
okay?
Not Wasp.
I need you to say Wasp.
Yeah, definitely, definitely notWasp.
I need you to to process thisand say if it's gonna work or
not.
Because I You're not gonna knowis the is the short and simple

(20:55):
answer to this.
But here it is.

I believe I believe Glenn has said, and
Cozy's flashing, the Dan HippLockjaw.
With a matte red border, inkedbaby, with those purple flares.
Taunt.
Lockjaw, I believe, will notfunction with the banished
cards.
Cause I think you play them andthey disappear.
He never enters Lockjaw'srotation.

Cozy Snap (21:17):
That's what I thought.
Yeah, that's what happens withlike, disappear, er, like, Like
action cards like that or evenbetter locations So like you
play if you somehow lock jaw onlike a location that destroys
cards and you play down a car Itjust you don't get the thing
back, right?
So

yeah,

Cozy Snap (21:29):
That's a bummer.
I thought about it for a secondI'm, like damn bring back the
good boy.
It would

have been a cool play, but I think it would
have been absolutely

Cozy Snap (21:37):
Well, yeah for sure it's a little weird though, it's
like four cost lockjaw No, youknow what?
It is is the plus four energyone the ball sag that would have
been That would have beenridiculous.
I've said ballsack more todaythan I have in a long time.
Man, I feel

Alexander Cocc (21:49):
Congratulations, you have been demonetized.

Cozy Snap (21:51):
Yeah, sorry, we don't have a sponsor for this one.
Today's episode is brought toyou by Manscaped.
Dude, that would have beenperfect.
Oh, I should have told them.
I know, missed opportunitythere.
And I just said their name forfree.
Damn it.
All right.
Any other synergy though?
What do you feel about Ogma?
I feel like obviously he's verymuch like a, his kind of thing
card.
I have a couple other ones, butgo go ahead.

So I do think that the deck dilution is a
challenge, and I wanted tomention Thunderbolt Ross, and
I've been playing a lot ofThunderbolt Ross, and I know
that a lot of people think he'snot great, but in this case, I
mean, Aikomoto is a 10, right,and so you could draw him out of
the deck, and there might besome other ramp options you want
to draw out of the deck, so I'mjust going to throw it out
there, Thunderbolt Ross, alittle bit of cope, but maybe a

(22:29):
little bit of hope at the sametime, and along those lines, I
was thinking about Antivenom,Antivenom, I'm not sure if Anti
Venom is great in this deck, butI think that getting a play for
free, especially if it's anArcanum, could be potentially
very interesting.
Like, because you'll be able tocombo with these things.
So maybe suddenly, if you getlike the, the, oh my gosh, I

(22:49):
can't remember the name, theImages of a Khan.
And you get that for freebecause of Anti Venom, suddenly
Turn 6 looks dirty as hell.
Because you can play a Turn 6Magneto and then replicate
everything into a Magneto intoit, right?
So, obviously there's verylittle predictability with that,
but I just wanted to throw itout there.

Cozy Snap (23:06):
Yeah, I like Surtur, I like Wong, I think those are
all pretty good.
I actually like some of thesecheat cards, like Jubilee even
Blink to some extent.
Like, I think there's some coolthings you can do with that.
Them being banished is the weirdpart, I think.
You know who I think, funnyenough, might be kind of a cool
card to go with this is is Nico.
I, you know, obviously it'sreally only I, I don't know how
it's gonna work.
I just, Bandage confuses thehell out of me, right?

(23:27):
Cause I think I, you can't getinto a demon cause it's gone.
But you can, you can, I I don'tknow if it destroys first or
this one's interesting to me.
And then most importantly, whereis it here, man?
Oh, the duplicating a card.
Man, that's crazy.
There's some duplicate stuff youcould do that could really.
Pull off some nutty stuff.

You're right.
And, but I wonder again, like wedon't have an answer to this.
I wonder if, if Nico wouldn'teven see that card, like, you
know what I mean?
Like, like if you're thinking,okay, I'm going to duplicate the
Arcanum.
It's like, I don't know if Nicowill even recognize that as a
character played.
No, we, we actually just don'tknow.
Like, it's just, I think that'snot a question anyone's asked.

Cozy Snap (24:04):
Yeah.
I think Hope Summers.
I like Hope Summers a lotbecause again, that should for
sure, at least work on the waythat goes, right.
And playing into her lane toramp up those cars.
You want the extra energy to beable to be played.
So that to me at least screamsinteresting.
And then there's one other one.
Oh, magic.
I think magic, just the way thathe's going to work, the Agumoto
getting a plus three power to,you know, getting near, getting
the car.
It's like Thanos in a sense howshe kind of made her way into

(24:26):
some of those builds.
I think that could beinteresting.

Yeah, you know, obviously like a card like
this, I think would benefit froman extended play.
Like, when you have theseabsolutely insane spells,
essentially, like, you're ableto do things, especially if
you're ramping.
Like, if you're ramping, ifyou're playing the, the Bolts of
Balzac, and you're ramping likecrazy into turn 7, that is an
insane amount of mana, right?
Like, yeah, you might havethrown turn 6 a bit, but even
then, it's still 3 energy, youcould still play a 3 drop on 6.

(24:53):
Yeah, like it's kind of crazy.
So I do see a lot of potentialthere for sure.
I think magic's a good call

Cozy Snap (24:58):
Yeah, so if this will be maybe maybe moon girl, maybe
maybe you know, we'll see I tome though All I know is I don't
say it often but I think this isyou this is a This is one you
can't miss this feels like thisfeels like a season pass card.
That is well worth it Getting inevery stretch of the

(25:18):
imagination.

How do I replace Agamotto?
I can't wait to have to answerthat.
Oh,

Cozy Snap (25:23):
yeah Yeah, it's a it's a it's a rough one, dude.
I don't know.
Anything else on Agamotto beforewe move on?

No.
And I think that like, as wemove on, which I'm sure is if
Esan's next and I think Esan'sgoing to actually have an issue
with this too, is that like, Ithink that Agamotto might have
an issue from a counterplayperspective with the likes of
Darkhawk and Ronin.
I think that like when I wasthinking about like counter
decks and stuff like that.
I think that Darkhawk and Roninmight very specifically dumpster

(25:50):
these two cards.
And there's a tech pieceobviously in Gorgon as well.
We'll discuss that later.
But if you're someone that can,is going to be free to play and
you want to like counter playthis first season or this first
week definitely start cookingRonin Darkhawk because they're
going to absolutely hate notonly the deck dilution, but also
potentially in Esan's case,pulling cards that are just
garbage.

Cozy Snap (26:09):
We move on to Esan.
Esan has been bumped up to a610.
Hello, Surtur yet again.
After each turn, put a card fromyour hand that didn't start in
your deck here.
Esan, Esan, I will let you, Iwill let you start.

So, first of all, I think the text has
changed since this graphic wasmade here.
Times are flying, Cozy! Ibelieve it's now end of turn.
Add a card that did not start,oh no, let me get the exact
thing.
There is a, there is a textchange though, if I can hunt it
down quick.

Cozy Snap (26:38):
I feel like I pulled these from the video, let me,
let me, let me, let me know.

Yeah, yeah, I'm just, I'm looking it up
right now trying to keep it,guys, we're, we're still
talking, there's been no call

Cozy Snap (26:47):
it wouldn't be Marvel Snap if they didn't change
anything on the flight,

okay?
So Esau now reads, end of turn,put a created card here, a
created card here.
So they did modify the textslightly.

Cozy Snap (26:59):
Okay, yeah, it's the same thing though, yeah?
Essentially?

It's effectively the same thing.
But didn't start here versuscreated card.
I think it, now, it will notwork with, like, Thanos, I
believe.
Because Thanos adds the card, itdidn't create the card.
What, no, actually, I'm notsure.
Because Agamotto the actual textdifference is.

Cozy Snap (27:16):
Yeah, because I feel like they changed a couple cards
like that, right?
Because there was, oh, likewhat's it called Gorgon got
something changed like that.
It was like, yeah, I think

Morgan was changed specifically to mention
the created card as well.

Cozy Snap (27:25):
Okay.
Well, for the main part, for themost part, it could be Thanos.
I guess we'll leave him up fordebate.
What, what, what do you thinkabout this?
I have my opinions.
What do you want to give?

Man, I'm so nervous about this one.
Of all the cards this season,this is the one I have least
confidence in.
I'm leaning towards three, but Ithink I might be wrong.
Like, I think I might be low.
Oh, I almost want to say four,but I think I'm feeling in my
heart three.
I think

Cozy Snap (27:51):
you're right with three.
Can I tell you?
I think that this is anincredible fun card.
I think this is a really funcard.
Like, I love the idea of playingMarvel Snap with this card.
I don't think it's gonna be goodthough.
Really?
Because we talked about it, andwe talked about, like, Red Wing,
right?
How Red Wing needs, like,multiple cards for it to work.
And like that's what makes menervous about him, right?
So like you have like listen toall the stuff you have going on

(28:12):
and like I I'm getting this.
This is fun.
Like this is the card I wouldlike recommend to get because I
think it's a good time But it'slike, well first of all, Airsham
clearly, like clearly guys, theAirsham thing might be why this
is like a four star Airsham cardor whatever.
Okay, I'm not really talking,I'm talking about him as a by
himself, I guess.
You need to ramp him out, okay?
So you need a ramp card to gethim going, right?

(28:33):
So whatever that might be.
Do you put one?
Do you put two?
Do you put one in Agamotto?
Probably, right?
Okay, you need that to get themout whenever that might be,
right?
So what are the best ones to dothat?
Wave, Luna Snow, Electro,Wiccan.
Yeah, but I mean that's a prettylate player at that point,
right?
You're getting pretty late thereto get the value from them.
So you got to get that.
Then you have to have createdcards.

(28:55):
Okay, and so obviously Agamottosolves two in one.
Like that's clearly why they'retogether in the week.
And that's why we like themtogether.
I think that's why that mightwork.
And also most of the spells.
Hey, man, you're just happy tolike Those spells, I don't care
where they go.
It's like, they're good to go.
I worry about the deck designaround this guy because I worry
about, I worry about the car,just trying to get him out and

(29:15):
getting the value white queenwas obviously made for this guy
now.
And like, you can like get ahigh power card.
Agent Coulson is a little weirdbecause you don't know what
you're getting.
So then you have the RNG elementof what cards are coming down.
And so, Arishem, I think he'sgoing to be a 3 star or above.
Everything else, I don't thinkso.
I think he's a fun card.

Yeah, so with Arishem, naturally, you'll be
able to get it out early withthat extra energy.
Which at least, even if he getstwo procs it's an end of turn
proc, right?
So, even if you play it on turn6, it's still going to pull one
card, provided you have acreative card.
Or created, I should say.
And I think you touched on aperfect point.
We talked about Red Wing beinglike requiring the activation.
If Red Wing could move on itsown, it'd be way better.

(29:53):
Eson requires two types ofintervention from the player.
The ramp and the created card.
And you only have six turns, oryou can go to seven if you play
Magic.
But at the end of the day, it'slike, you can only do so much in
six turns.
Can you really set up everythingthat Esan needs to be
successful?
And you're right to say thatEgomoto by default will do that
to some degree, but then youkind of relinquish a little bit

(30:13):
of control as to A, what's beingpulled, B, when it's being
pulled, right?
You get to pick the locationwhere Esan is, but you might
have two Egomoto cards in yourhand.

Cozy Snap (30:22):
I think I like them though.
You're right.
It's like, it's just tough toknow about location variance and
how much creative cards comeinto your hand.
I.
I think three stars a fairevaluation and I and what did
you say at first three possiblyfour Four with like wow the turn
six swing on a location.
Wow It's getting value almost nomatter what like I that it's a

(30:43):
good point there I feel likethough he might be one of the
weakest of the month because itis a strong month, right?
To me, you know what?
I like with this card is likewhat's his face iron lad?
Do something like iron lad.
This is a great iron lad card.
My God.
Like there's, there's a coupleof synergy cards here that I
don't mind.
He's just, he worries me withhow much gimmicks you've got to

(31:04):
have work.

Potentially.
I don't want to be ridiculous,but I also think that it was a
six, nine, which was nice, but Ido think they moved it, moved it
to six, 10, partially because Ithink it needs to be shanty
able.
This might be the firstcircumstance where the power
increase is a legitimate nerf.
Because, if you shanchi it, it'snot just a reduction in the
power, it's a reduction in itscapability to proc its effect.
And if your whole deck is aboutusing Ison to pull cards, if it

(31:28):
explodes, it doesn't do that.
If it's a 6 9, it gets to pullcards regardless of you hitting
it with a shadow carrier orwhatever.
It doesn't matter what happensto it, it's gonna do the thing
still, right?
So I think that it needed someform of hard removal.

Cozy Snap (31:42):
I think that's a good point, by the way.
I think Devil Dinosaur, NickFury Kind of decks.
It's kind of cool.
I think Valentina could beawesome with this thing Girl
moon girl.
Yeah, because then you have likedevil dinosaur doing one lane
This guy's pulling the otherlane like that kind of works out
Hmm, I don't know.
I feel I feel like my gut tellsme it'll be a lot of fun to play

(32:04):
But it doesn't it to me Itdoesn't I don't think there's
gonna be like the all powerfulisan deck outside of erishim
Who's already gonna be feastingfrom agamotto?
But I think agamotto and himcould work together pretty well.

And if isan's going absolutely crazy play
master mold Let him just pullsandals over and over again,
right?

Cozy Snap (32:21):
Put it this way, Hulkling, you guys, Hulkling
isn't who he reminds me of allthe way, but like a little bit,
like where we're like, Whoa,look at this.
Okay, so big power and he coulddo these things.
And then it's like, well, whywouldn't you just do other
things?
I, you know, I,

that's kind of the feel I get from him.
Your intro to Hulkling video isstill my favorite of all time.
I almost want you to miss, Ialmost want you to give this a 5
stars and miss.
So you can make another one ofthose.
Just so I can

Cozy Snap (32:43):
do the, yeah, I would definitely make a card review
video.
So Eason, yeah, Eason We'll doour final rankings after.
I think Alex and I, both kind ofmiddle of the pack, right?
Do you have any other, any otherthings with him?
I think Airsham was the main onethough, obviously.

I guess my major concern is how much effort
it takes to actually get thevalue from him.
And while there's going to bepocket circumstances where he
absolutely outperforms, I thinksome of the best cards in snap
are the ones that justconsistently do their thing
effectively.
And I don't think Esau could beeven considered in that sphere,
considering he's a six cost thatpretty much needs to be down

(33:15):
early to really get true, liketrue value.
However, if Agamotto's cracked,right, absolutely cracked.
Yeah.
And Eson enabling that furthermight be good enough.

Cozy Snap (33:24):
And that's the thing.
It could just be the Agamottocard.
And that's where it's like,okay, he's definitely just going
to be in all the decks he's inand Agamotto is going to be in
all the decks and incoming.
I think Agamotto, I don't knowif he'll, he's going to last us
a five, 10.
I honestly don't.
Do we want to

mention the Spotlight Cache before we move
on?
Yeah, go ahead.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
So it's Beta Ray Bill andWiccan.
And so Beta Ray Bill sucks.
Sucks what's it called?
Bolts of Balzac.
That's how much Beta Ray Billsucks.
But the Wiccan, if you don'thave Wiccan, I think it's 100
percent worth rolling forWiccan.
You get Esan's Wiccan.
And Wiccan is a ramp option thatcan probably be used for both
Esan and Egamoto.

(33:56):
So I think it's a pretty goodweek if you can dodge Beta Ray.
Unfortunately,

Cozy Snap (33:59):
it's funny.
Like you have this card that'slike, you know, why not just
play simple big stuff or, orwhatever.
And by the way, good point ofthe spotlight week, this next
card, man, this is what we'reall about.
This is what me and Alex lovethe simple stuff.
K I S S keep a simple, stupidMichael Scott, the very, very
wise Michael Scott Starbrand.

(34:20):
Now we got it wrong last time.
We, 19 cards to be fair.
So we were just firing throughthem.
So let's make sure peopleunderstand this.
3 costs 10 power.
Yep.
Yes.
Yes, you.
10 power.
Yes.
Ongoing, your opponent has plus3 power at each other location.
So it's like Miss Marvel.
So you got 2 other locationsgetting the plus 3 power.
So effectively it's gonna be a 34.

(34:42):
Dude, I think, am I, okay, Ithink I'm just excited to play
Sora and Dex again.
I think that's where like, andZero Dex, I think that's where
my, my like, my excitementcomes.
I think this guy's just good.
I love him.

I am so looking forward to this card.
I think this might be the oneI'm most excited for in the
month, of all the cards.
And I don't think it's going tobe the best one of the month
because I think there's a coupleof bangers, but I think this one
is still a banger.
I think we, I think we're, we'reeating nice this month and I
think Starbrand is super, superfascinating.
And I guess the question for meis, is Starbrand enough for

(35:17):
Sauron to actually be playableconsidering the sheer amount of
disgusting power creep we'veexperienced prior to Sauron
being played.

Cozy Snap (35:26):
I I don't know man.
I think so but you got searcheryou've got to like build all
these together right and thenlike In that think about typhoid
red school, you know, maybe youbring back maybe you bring back
sherry into that build man Mygod like that sherry soran was
such a fun deck build zero aloneis like the most easy combo into
this guy.
It's crazy How good there wasnever like the three was always

(35:49):
a little awkward man You lookacross the board the three was
always awkward with zero outsideto do like zero lizard And so
this was a really this is areally cool, you know, card
there lizard just got buffed upObviously, we'll just talk about
that too.
So, clearly, Sohan's gonna,like, he just got hit with
double the love, okay?
And then, I, dude, I feel likethis is, he's got,

this has got some chops to it.
Oh, there's no question, man.
Like, think about how good it isto play Gladiator as a 3 8 that
lands.
This is a 3 10.
It is the new chunk of threes.
And not only that, like, whenyou actually look at, like, the
loss of Arrow as a 10 powercard, Rip Arrow, garbage ass
card.
It's, it's funny to think that,like, you actually don't have
many 10 power options, right?

(36:31):
Like, Arrow, as much play asshe's seen, like, nobody should
respect that card, so I'm gladit got nerfed.
But with Starbrand, you now havesomething else that can step up
into that searcher list, whichnow wants to re proc searcher as
often as possible.
And I do want to mention onemore card that is not a trash
tier card like Arrow.
A true waifu, Enchantress.

(36:51):
You can definitely playEnchantress on curve to nullify
the effect.

Cozy Snap (36:54):
Yeah, I think Enchantress, I, I've just been
waiting more, I've been waitingmore for Enchantress, like, I
want more threes like this, I'llbe honest, because I like the
fact that Enchantress needs tobe a bit more of that Killmonger
effect, where you can do, youhave the offense and the defense
of it, like, being able to like,plan out your plays ahead of
time, and, and, and put this onthe Luke Cage lane, or, eh,
whatever, right, you just getthat bang for buck, and I think,

(37:17):
you know, sore on being a threeis where the contention comes.
It's like, okay, what are yougoing to try to make with this?
What are you going to try to dowith this at that point?
It seems good though.
It seems like this is going tobe able to elevate that deck.
I think even potentially Hella.
I mean, Hella just got a bump upwith scar getting going up to
seven.
You got this guy at three 10now.
Well, hello.
Want this at a three 10?
I don't know, but at least it'san individual cost at that

(37:38):
point.
So that's kind of.
Kind of interesting as well.
You already go in Big Lanepower, so let'em have Plus the
rear at both locations, youknow?
Yeah.
I, I don't know, man, but I, Ithink Star brand is, to me, we
didn't give him our star co orour star ratings, but I, I'm,
I'm good at four.
Yeah.
I think you'll be a four.

Yeah.
I have four written down aswell.
And I think that the thing thatholds us back, and by the way,
Jose, I have to say, you nottaking the bait on the arrow
Chirps is just, this isunprecedented.

Cozy Snap (38:02):
I held my tongue.
I held my tongue.
It's already been a, it'salready been a dark OTA.
Yeah, it was.
I, I, it was, I'm already.
What a random stray, man.
I can't believe it.
I just, so the thing

about star brand is as good as it is.
It has a very low floor.
Like if you don't get the zerocombo, if you don't, don't try
and chantress and you're justproviding plus three power, that
kind of feels bad.
It does feel bad.
Cause it's plus three purepower.
So it's like they could use itany way they want.

Cozy Snap (38:28):
Yes.
I don't know if I'd call it likea three, four though.
Like if you don't get the proc,because they're like, I'll be
honest to you.
Like sometimes they got alocation, like that guy's
winning that anyway.
So it's just like you're getting10 on the location that you need
to win.
You can afford the plus three onthe other, you know, obviously
like statistical.
Yes.
But yes, I do agree for the mostpart.
It'll whiff pretty big, but ifthey're already like winning one
pretty big, you're just like,whatever, man, like, I'm going

(38:49):
to go with this anyway.
And he's going to feel awfulthough, when there's like a desk
domain and you can't get intothat and you just give them that
location for free, dude.
That's.
That's rough.
Yo.
What about Bar with no name?
No.

Yes.
Yes.
Bar with no name.
Yeah.

Cozy Snap (39:06):
M

M

Cozy Snap (39:07):
M M You can literally give the You can win that
location with this card.

It's true, man.
You snap Bar with no name, it'seither Legion or it's Starbrand
now.
There's a second option.
Starbrand.

Cozy Snap (39:17):
I know, right dude?

Yeah, so I like Also, is this guy not just
Red Hulk?
Like, what the hell is this?
Let's be honest.
Yeah,

Cozy Snap (39:22):
seriously.
He looks like he's like He lookslike DC's version of the Hulk in
Red Hulk or something puttogether there.
This is

like the don't copy my homework, but like the
meme, you know what I mean?

Cozy Snap (39:32):
Oh, yeah, but it clearly did.
The the Pam from the office,double office memes.
Next card.
What's up?
What's, what's next?
What comes next?
Can you give me the whole order?
That would be fire hair.
Is it fire hair?
Which, honestly,

like whoever named this card clearly had to
go to the well for the naminghere.

Cozy Snap (39:45):
Yeah, they're like, we're running out of names guys
be like quick.
Tell me something about her.
She's a redhead.

Why is her hand on fire of all things not
her hair?
I'm actually annoyed.
His

Cozy Snap (39:53):
fire hand doesn't, doesn't slap as hard.
Sounds like a static shockvillain.
Have you no static shock?
You ever know that guy?
You ever watch the show WB?
No, you didn't even know whatdouble WB was.
It's They don't have that Canadastatic show.

I'm scared to say that.
'cause some Canadians gonna belike, Bru.
Alex, what'd you watch growingup?
Just watch Samurai Pizza Cats.
So you blacked out every day.
Let's suck.

Cozy Snap (40:13):
What a life.
Let's talk about fire hand andfire hair.
True cost.
Three power car.
This was in fact, if you'vegotten to this point and you
watch all the way through,congratulations.
This was the car that Alex and Iwere talking about that we
needed to see the trailer on,how it worked together.
And I was I had to change mynotes.
I had to change my notes.
Two three when one of your cardsis destroyed this uses that

(40:35):
cards on reveal.
This can proc multiple timesthis can proc as many times as
as you so like it, you know, ifit's on the board, man

This is nuts.

Cozy Snap (40:46):
This is nuts, man.
Like this isn't even like, youknow, when finnerest wolf came
out We're like, ah, okay, youknow, I gotta activate it.
Okay.
What do you what do we do here?
What do you think?
What's your star rating on this?

I'm thinking this is a 5.
Like, maybe 4.
But like, I see a lot ofpotential here.
Not just with like, obviousstuff.
Like, even just like, there are,there are decks that just, you
know, you killmonger a, a, ahood.
You get double hoods.
You get double demons.
Like, that is absolutely insane.
Like, and not to mention theobvious.

(41:17):
Of mill, which is already havinga pretty high meta share in
terms of overall play, but itdoesn't have like the win and
cube rates that would push itinto the crazy territory.
This is just the next step of,Oh, I go, I don't get to play
Marvel snap today.
Cause fire hand just backhandedmy entire deck.

Cozy Snap (41:37):
I, it's so interesting, right?
Cause I think of their likecreation, they're like, well,
you're getting rid of thosecards that you're, you're, you
know.
Whatever, but you have likeDeath and Null to bring that
power back.
You're right, dude.
Destroy decks are hard to earn aspot, but I feel like this is a
whole new breed of it.
This is a whole new breed offirst, yes, Misery and Mill is
like, Misery.

(41:58):
It's so, this is such, they loseif you Misery combo this.
I mean, the amount of, theamount of freaking Iceman
discarding Yondu stuff you'repulling off with this is
disrespectful.
I mean, they're done at thatpoint.
By turn four you're gonna winbut destroy just regular

(42:18):
destroy.
It's like man He just it justseems so interesting to me Like
you can now make like multipleyou could just make multiple a
lot of things work man Likevenom and carnage as as as base,
you know initiators is reallyfun and exciting There's so many
honor veals that you could takeadvantage of even just venom as
a core card Just venom is reallylike interesting on what he can

(42:39):
do with some of the bigger stuffYou know the bigger crazy stuff
out there I think this thing haslimitless potential.
Obviously drawing it late isyour maybe downside you know,
but I, I, yeah, I'm gonna giveit a four and a half.
I think it'll come off slightlywonkier than we think, but I
think it's clearly gonna be amainstay in good, it's gonna be
a good card.

But even drawing it late, like on turn
five, you can fire here and thenvenom and literally like, yeah,
like you could blow things uplike crazy.
You can have fiery hairs lane,knock over an X 23 or a
Wolverine over to the venom lanewho then procs or it'd be the
other way around.
Venom would proc and then thefire head would reciprocate it.
Right.
But like you could have thebouncing.

(43:21):
X 20 threes and venom goingvenom X 23 and the wolverine
going from Venom's location overto the fire hair location.
That's the way I would expectit.
'cause the venom would resolve,the cards would bounce, and then
fire hair would resolve.
That's what I would imaginewould happen.
Right.
I wouldn't think fire hair wouldresolve prior to the venom's
effect being resolved.

(43:42):
So like.
There's a lot of potential thatif it doesn't work that way, and
like Firehair does its movebefore Venom will like send over
X 23 and stuff, then maybe it'sa little weaker.
Even ignoring that, even justignoring that, like it's just
crazy how much better Mil'sgonna be, because on turn 2 if
you don't draw Cable, it gets alittle more wonky, but now it's

(44:02):
like you can Cable or Firehair.
And I don't know, man, it'spretty wild.
I

Cozy Snap (44:06):
mean, it's like, there's so many cards that want
to work with this.
And that's what's like, youstart looking at these on
reveals and it's like, my God,you could get out of control.
Also, destroyer is kind of fun.
Don't know how you'd work thatinto a, into a fire here deck.
But I mean, Hey, another, likein intern proc to do, he had to
be in the other lane orwhatever.
But like looking at like, also,shang chi, someone shang chi is
an on reveal card of yours.
It's like, cool.

(44:26):
Fire here is going to, is goingto proc what that card did
again, which could be superpunishing, obviously.
Right.
But like going going throughlike, you know misery with
electro was like somethingpeople were doing like you could
get like Electro to do hislittle pop off again Obviously
all the mill stuff that wetalked about before there was
one that I was looking throughhere Which one did I just see
that I was like you know artemzola has some cool synergy But

(44:49):
that was the one I was referringto.
Oh, yeah a baron zemo, bro It'slike I just think I just think
mill is gonna be We always getthese mill cards and we get
excited about them and they kindof land flat But this is one
where i'm like I don't know howit's going to land flat.
It feels just, it just feelslike it's going to be so
punishing.

Can I tip my hand on one of the decks I want
to try for this week?
Cause I already have itdesigned.
yep Okay.
Listen to this.
Do you remember that Friggabullseye deck I created?

Cozy Snap (45:14):
So you

take the Zola version of that.
You fire hair, you Zola Dokken.
Dokken will replicate.
Fire hair is going to put anadditional shard into your hand,
right?
And then you can bullseye nottwo, but three shards now Dokken
getting trips.
While you're also doing thebullseye combo because Zola will

(45:36):
destroy Daken is that notabsolutely insane.

Cozy Snap (45:40):
That's so fun.
That's so fun.
This is a fun card, bro This hasa lot of cool potential that one
might be really good.
I like that one This is gonna belike the week where there's a
lot of fun streams to watch andand and videos to watch because
people are gonna have their owndesigns on it like you can even
go like I don't Gilgamesh zoo, abunch of ones in the zoo.
And then if they kill Gilgamesh,your best card, then she gets it

(46:01):
back.
And she died.
She does the same thing he justdid.
I don't know.
There's, there's just a lot ofcool things that you can pull
off with her.
And I feel like we haven't eventhought about some of the best
ones.
Like,

yeah.
And I actually just completelymisrepresented the power because
it's actually four dockingshards.
The first original docking play,then you have the Zola to three,
and then you have the Firehairto four.
So it's actually more, and onthat note, now that I realize
it, if you think about it,something like even a Misery on
top of an Iceman, that's not twoprocs, that's three.
Iceman comes down for the proconce Misery re procs it two,

(46:35):
Firehair three.
It's three procs.
It's a triple dip on the effectwith Misery.

Cozy Snap (46:41):
How can you get sure that's cracked by the way, what
about sherry you venom you havea venom of sherry Just double
whatever was in that sherrylane.
You eat it fire Whatever getsthe fire hair gets the the
sherry effect again.
You play off that one again Ah,it seems cool, dude.
It seems fun white tiger.
I think they brought up in theintro That was kind of an

(47:02):
interesting take on the card Ithink there's gonna be a lot of
interesting experimentation.
This is clearly the best cardoutside of Agamotto.
And, and, and, man, that, thatyou you mentioned is, has me
frothing from the mouth overhere.
But yeah, Fire, Firehair nowthat I keep thinking it's
Firehand, is is the one.
What's the spotlights for thisone?

Spotlight is actually Cassandra Nova and Nico
Minoru.
She's absolutely bangers thisweek.
This is a, this is a amazingweek, honestly.
Someone messed up at

Cozy Snap (47:28):
corporate.
Yeah, that's like, that's like,they're gonna be like, Yeah,
this is too good.
Stop it.
We don't, we don't love to dothat.
Yeah, so definitely good one.
We're excited about her.
And if you're reading, I saidfour, no, no, you said five,
four and a half.
I said five.
I'll do four and a half,

bro.
Come on.
Commit four or five, man.
Do it.
I wrote down four and a half,but like, come on, man.
The people demand it.
Put yourself on the line.
Cause he's just

Cozy Snap (47:54):
thinking, I'm thinking about the play lines
and think about how I'm thinkingif it's like if it's going to
make mill.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think it's a five.
I don't know how it's on a five.
It seems too good.
It seems too good.
I'll have them.
I have her under Agamotto.
Not to spoil it in advance, I dohave her in Aragamoto though, I
still think it's beautiful.
This is

hilarious, it'll be great when like, you
know, at the end of the season.
When this is the one star cardthat everyone hates.
That actually saw no play.
It won't happen, this card's toogood.
She gets RTA'd

Cozy Snap (48:23):
immediately.
Khonshu, I mentioned him beingone of my favorite characters
after watching Moon Knight,which Alex still hasn't watched.
And he is, I went through thepain of having every single moon
phase of him to show you guys.
Now we have a lot of Khonshu'sto talk about, but base
Khonshu's a 6 5.
When discarded, returns in itsnext phase.
On reveal, resurrect a card youdiscarded to another location

(48:45):
with its power set to 5.
Now the good news is, if you getrid of Khonshu, that power set
to 5 goes up to 7 and he goes upto a 6 7.
Notice the logo change, beauty.
And at the maximum form, goes to6 12 with the power revived to
12 in the full moon of Khonshu.
This, I think we talked abouthim, I, I think that this is so

(49:08):
exciting of a card as wellbecause of a new way to play
this card and or I just thinkhe's super unique to the
archetype.

Yeah, he's definitely unique star rating
wise, this is another one whereI find myself, much like Eson,
very conservative.
I'm leaning three, and I feellike I could be wrong.
Because, I can 100 percent seethis card really popping off.
And we have some synergies we'lltalk about as well, but there's

(49:36):
some huge pop off plays.
However, I do see a risk of itunderperforming as well.
I just, I just, my gut tells methat there's a lot of potential
here, but there's a chance thatit low rolls a

Cozy Snap (49:49):
bit.
He's tougher to play than youthink.
I think he's tougher to playthan you think, but I think if
you don't try to do anythingfancy, like I see a lot of stuff
on the Iron Man and whatnot, andthat's cool, like we could talk
about Synergy with like, youknow, the cards that get the
best out of that 12, but I thinkeven at a base core of you
playing this in the discarddecks, like that, I don't know,
it just seems like it has somegood potential, Lady Sif and

(50:12):
Moon Knight, they just feastwith them.
You got the opening blade thatyou could get lucky on.
I mean, he gets rid of Dracula.
You got that cool thing goingon.
Dracula can pop off heavy.
Most cards are happy.
That come back from this.
I feel like it will be anaddition.
I just want to know how it'sgoing to work in what do we
label a dependable discard andstuff like that?
Like how does it work in there?

(50:32):
It's just like another cog inthat engine.
That's what I'm curious.
And obviously you've got firstghostwriter to make it even
better.

Yeah, and that's kind of what I've been
thinking about, right?
Like, I've been thinking about,like, how you have dependable
discard with Apocalypse, and Ido think the two can be played
together, especially with thelikes of something like a a
Dracula, like you mentioned.
But there is a chance it'scompletely on its own as well.
And I don't want to, like, wewere jumping ahead a bit with
the Spotlight Cache, but it isworth mentioning that the
Spotlight Cache is Corvus Glaiveand Scorn.
And I want to mention thisbecause I think Corvus Glaive in

(51:00):
particular might be verysynergistic with this card.
Because one of the challengeswithin six turns for Canchu is
how do you discard Canchu twicewhile also getting rid of
something else worth bringingback.
It's like, it's similar to Esanwhere it's like, there's hoops
that you have to jump through.
And I wonder if those hoops aregoing to be worth it.
And that's what brings my ratingdown.

(51:20):
And with Corvus Glaive, not onlyare you ramping, but you have a
double proc.
You're discarding two things.
And if you could at the veryleast hit Conshew plus one, at
least you have that plus one youcould bring back with the
Conshew.

Cozy Snap (51:33):
Yeah.
So I love that you said that.
I think he's going to be, Corvusis going to be the main card
that kind of works with allthis.
It feels like.
It feels like he'll be the mainkind of cog to it and remember
like what I like about this Isthat we have another card that's
not hella that can revive and solike I don't know like having
morbius Obviously is a hugewinner from this because that's
just a lane winner But likehaving like sometimes like

(51:54):
dracula morbius gets discardedlike oh There it goes, there
goes one of my win conditionsand then like this just feels
like it can work in that Or ifyou don't hit them that it's
building up those cards Anyway,and you're just getting like
what this card does best andthat's like a lot of discards
dare I say man, you could dolike maybe an agatha deck With
this that's where corvus wasoriginally spawned.
But no I think You know, thereis some RNG stuff I don't love,

(52:15):
I kind of wish it would neverwork this way, but I kind of
wish it'd say, you know, revivea card in one of the other
locations.
You know, maybe a bit lessrandomness, that worries me, you
know, it's just the one card,trying to control that could be
tough.
There's a lot of discard optionsthat I think are gonna just like
it at its core.
Will Silver Samurai finally seesome love?
That's the deck people are gonnatry to make work with this, the

(52:36):
Iron Man thing.
I think that's where I'm alittle bit hesitant on, but I
do, I do like him.

Yeah, and I was thinking about that too.
If you think about it, if youhave Moon Knight, Silver
Samurai, and others, you aredoing a fair bit of disruption
to your opponent's hand as well.
So if you can lean into thediscard and disrupt style of
this deck, where your opponent'skind of just getting blasted, I
think there's something to besaid to that, right?
With regards to other cards thatare synergistic, I think
Swordmaster needs some love.
Because Swordmaster could be aplay that almost guarantees

(53:05):
you're hitting something todiscard, while also putting up a
fair amount of power.
The fact that it's going to hitan odd costed card means it will
never hit Conshu.
And so you, with Swordmaster,you're guaranteeing that
something's going to getdiscarded.
And what that is, if it's anIron Man It's gone.
And you're putting seven poweredon the board at the same time.
And that's a backup play to yoursilver Samurai.

Cozy Snap (53:26):
What worries me about sword, Matt?
Yeah.
And I agree a hundred percent.
Cause you need to avoid him.
I think what worries me is Istart to think about all the
discard cards you want in there.
Plus just like the other stuffyou have to have in there.
It's like, well, moon nightmakes complete sense.
Like moon nights, like there'syour target.
Plus the attack.
I mean, it's like, man, that'sawesome.
Lady SIF makes sense.
Sword master makes sense.
So it's like.
You avoiding Khonshu, but alsodo you the deck build is going

(53:49):
to be different than we've seenbefore and I think that's cool.
I think we need that fromDiscard and people that are in
playing that archetype.
It's going to be a welcomechange.
Khonshu Definitely is going tobe What like we've said it's
either going to really work outor not But again, I think if you
do play this card, you're notgonna be mad that you have them,
you know I think it's like It'sgonna give you something new to
play with.

But I wonder if he's at odds with, like,
Apocalypse and Scorn.
Like, Apocalypse and Scorn, theyrepeatedly re enter the hand.
Yep.
So how often can you truly,like, discard enough stuff?
And, like, MODOK can do it too.
Like, you could run MODOK andliterally hit all three of them.
But then what the hell does therest of your hand look like?
Like what's, what's everythingelse look like, right?
So like, I wonder about howoften you can actually get to

(54:30):
the third phase of Conchu.
And if the second phase isenough, or if the first phase is
enough.
Because obviously you're gonnatry and lean into the you know,
the Iron Men.
Or, I shouldn't usingSwordmaster to discard a Brood.
I wish Sabrina Pack has 12replicated

Cozy Snap (54:45):
power.
I That's, that's wild.
I feel like I wish Khonshu'smiddle phase was a bit better.
I think the 12 could be up evenmore.
I know he's reviving a card andstuff, but like you're right, I
think it's tough to hit.
Maybe this is building way forlike more stuff down the line,
but like it does feel like it'slike, it feels like this should
be a little bit higher, like a 69 almost.

(55:06):
Like that middle ground is whereI worry a little bit.
And with the randomness, butthere's, I mean, there's a lot,
there's a lot of stuff you canpull together, a lot of stuff
you can make happen.
And yeah, we'll, we'll end upseeing where this guy ultimately
lands.
We do have, that's, so that's itfor the, for the main cards
coming out.
The, the main cards that are,are, are meant to come out.
But to our surprise, we're gonnawait to see how he would be

(55:28):
announced, but we do have thefirst Ghost Rider.
As our last card, coming in highvoltage.
This will be your free card ifyou play the game mode.
2 6! On reveal, discard thelowest power card from your
hand.
Remove that card's power from,from this.
Right, so this is clearly themissing cog into the Khanshu

(55:49):
Iron Man Silver Samurai deck.
However, my friends, we havesome sad news.
It has been confirmed thenegative cards will not increase
this card's power which tookaway a lot of fun deck Design
and really hype for this card,but it's still a 2 6.
It still discards It's still agood card in some ways and form.

(56:13):
Let's talk about it.
What do you think?

You know what it made sense.
It's not gonna work with theHobbes and the gobs It had to
not work with that.
Anyways, right like so I'm upsetBut also we often to juggle this
we imagine ourselves playingthat card and be like, oh bro
Look what I did but you forgetlike what it's gonna feel like
when some clown plays againstyou and the Miss Marvel thumbs
ups you right so it's Like itprobably had to happen that

(56:35):
would have been so dumb As itstands now, you do have some
synergistic plays.
You do have the Conchu, whichwould like this.
Cause again, this will hit anIron Man or something worth
bringing back.
However, am I a little more sad?
Yes.
Do I think it's a good card?
It's a 2 6, but the challengeis, is that you can't reliably

(56:56):
have, you know, you can'tguarantee that you're going to
have something worth hittingyour hand.
Now, with Khonshu, discarding aMorbius doesn't matter, because
Morbius is ongoing, right?
And so Morbius is great, becauseyou play this instead of
Morbius, you put 6 power on theboard, you gain initiative,
Khonshu has a target.
And then Khonshu brings it back,Morbius doesn't need the plus 5
or whatever power, and he'sfeasting.

(57:18):
But this one, like it's, I'm alittle more tentative with the
change, but I still thinkthere's potential there.

Cozy Snap (57:23):
Yeah.
I mean, I think at the end ofthe day, if you just sort by
power here, you can see who thisis going to hit.
I think Colin wing is probablyjust better.
I mean, at least moredependable.
Like, X 23, Scorn, Dracula,Morbius, these are the cards
it's gonna hit, right, pointblank.
And then Iron Man and Friends,if you go that route.
I, yeah, I think that I think ifwe can figure out that deck with

(57:47):
Iron Man stuff, it's actuallygonna be a needed card.
Like, this will be The only wayto get that card to work because
as of now silver samuraidefinitely ate it And with
contra I still don't think it'sgoing to be there.
But with this you you got a yougot a better shot here Two six
is obviously crazy.
I think it's going to be moreoften than not a two four.
Anyway, like calling wink Whichis like, okay, at that you just

(58:08):
have another, you have anothercar that does what she does.
And, you know, ends up kind ofworking with what you have.
Because, you know, Scorn, Ithink is going to be a popular
one that this hits.
Or to what you just said,Morbius.
So, it's free, and it's adiscard option.
So, should be okay.

Yeah, and score will give a little bit
back with its discard too,right?
So if you play this and youdiscard score, score much as a
here's plus two back, you knowwhat I mean?
So yeah, it might not be the endof the world.

Cozy Snap (58:31):
So that is the new cards coming out.
Let's go in and rank them realquick.
And then we'll get to our hotfire, quick OTA highlight recap.
Looking at all the cards, thebest card of the month is what?
uh Agamotto Yeah, I think it'sAgamotto with obviously number
two for both of us fire hand.
Yep.
Fire hair.
What what's number three?

Number three for me is star brand.

Cozy Snap (58:53):
Number three star brand for you.
Yeah, I think star brands got,yeah, star brands got to be
next.
We're actually not going to betoo different from this one from
each other.
Right?
Number four.

This is hard because I think Ghost Rider's
last, and it's a question of isit Conshu next, or is it Issan
next, and I'm not sure.
hmm My heart of hearts tells methat Agamotto's good enough that
Issan's above Conshu.

Cozy Snap (59:16):
Yeah, so that's what I was gonna say.
I think Issan with Ereshim andAgamotto's gonna get played
more.
I think Conshu though, I thinkConshu's really good too, but I
think the deck that gets playedmore is Issan, so I would agree
with that.
And then, yeah, obviously thefree card.

Wow.
We just agree 100%.
Look

Cozy Snap (59:30):
at that.
That, that might be the first,that might be the first time in
a while to we've had a lot ofmonths where we did not.
So I'm actually, I'm, I'm, I'mproud of us.
Actually.
I'm not even mad.
I'm proud of us.
You know what else I'm proud of?
It happened.
White Queen.
We can't say it anymore.
They changed her.
They changed White Queen.
And might I say, you out goonedme on the thumbnail this week.

(59:50):
I put the old reliable, I putold reliable White Queen, sexy
White Queen on there.
I'm like, that'll do.
Then I see yours, I'm like, mamamia, Alex.

Mama mia, indeed.
What

Cozy Snap (01:00:00):
do you think of the 3 4 White Queen?

Alexander Coccia (01:00:03):
I was actually so tilted when they when they
buffed this card, cause, forour, these cards sucked them.
Now, what the hell am I gonnaput on it now?
Here goes another one.
This, this was, we went to thewell on White Queen, for like,
two years, on the these cardssuck element.
Like, you know what I mean?
Like, that segment was a WhiteQueen segment.
I remember there was one whereyou begged me to not talk about
White Queen, and I stillcouldn't do it.
We had to talk about WhiteQueen.

(01:00:24):
So yeah, it's actually crazy.
And I think this obviously worksreally well with Esan.
We did mention that before it'stimely.
This change is it a surfer card?
No, but it's going to be mysurfer decks anyways, for
reasons I don't want to getinto.

Cozy Snap (01:00:36):
Yeah, I think it's interesting.
I think it's definitely It's notlike the change I wanted to see
from her, you know, like I guesslike it's very much like they
they did this for You saw in abit more than anything else.
Like I was kind of hopingsomething else would have
happened with her I'm, not madabout it.
Not mad though.
Not not not mad that it'shappened and she's getting more
play from it I I think i'm moreexcited about lizard though, man
I think lizard coming back.
Obviously, we already know thatthe sauron decks are you know

(01:00:58):
doing his thing But hey, man,two, six.
All right.
Okay, man.
You know, two, two at worst,two, six on the upside, 49
percent win rate or somethinglike that.
I think it was like a 33 man atinfinite play.
Is he better?

Oh, he's definitely better.
And with star brand coming outobviously that, that deck is two
pieces of love here.
And I gotta say that's, is thatthe max correct variant?
Yeah.
Everyone saw it.
It's it's one of his best ones.
Like it's so good.
It's awesome.
What a split you've got there,too But yeah, honestly like
yeah, I think losers back.
I think it's legit It wasactually really good in sanctum
because the fact that you justwant early dubs You want early

(01:01:32):
power and it does exactly thatvery effectively

Cozy Snap (01:01:35):
for sure, man Yeah, so lizard big on their big
searcher nerf arrow took a strayscar went up to seven bro, sir
turn now Does he take the crown?
I think dude they have I justdon't understand and I feel like
algimoto could get here.
I'm telling you bro.
I'm worried about algimoto I'mworried about him getting the
thanos treatment because theydon't know how to do the spell

(01:01:58):
Algimoto is going to be it markmy words nerfed in some
capacity.
I feel like I do I feel like atsome point in time he's gonna
get nerfed you look at surterright and it's just like On
release they're just like yes,this feels good And now we've
seen right we've seen so manychanges at this point, dude.
It's like It's, it's wild, man.
I can't believe he got another,another one.

(01:02:19):
It's like, is it done?
Is the madness done?

And it's hard because it's like, how much can
you change one card until likeits identity completely shifts?
I think they're trying toconserve its identity though.
They're clearly trying toconserve it.
But I think what they're worriedabout is the fact that the
Surtur deck was so easy to playacross all MMR rackets.
It's so easy.
That's the problem.
That's the problem.
You just play chunks.
You just play chunks.
And it's fine that there's adeck like that.
It kind of sucks that Surturcaught astray.

(01:02:43):
I wonder if it had to just be Idon't know.
I don't know.
I'm no game dev, but I don'tknow how they fixed Surtur.
I think it's just the three costthing always

Cozy Snap (01:02:51):
just felt odd, but then you can't not do that,
like, that's the problem, youknow, like, it always just felt
odd where it was at, I don'tknow, man, like, we made it
through Shuri.

It's the power creeper four cost, man, there's
so much power creeper four cost,like, no one was playing Surgeon
until Ares came out.
Yeah, I bet you it would havestill been good anyways, and
this is the thing that's apoint, right?
Like you probably could havebeen playing Surtur this entire
time and crushing before Aresand Ares a reason to play Surtur
again.
Yeah.

Cozy Snap (01:03:18):
No, I know it It was a but I would say all together.
It was a it was a good OTA.
It was a good OTA yeah, it was adefinite.
Yeah.
Yeah, I was I was happy aboutthe OTA across the board Got a
couple high evo got a couplesome love right got some love
across the board And you know,we'll have to see It all comes
together.
By the way, Agamotto with HighEvo, Abomination style, maybe,
probably not.
I don't know.
Just, just thinking of someother High Evo potential.

(01:03:41):
Lots of

energy with the bolts

Cozy Snap (01:03:42):
of Ballsack.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Ballsack just ramping up thatdeck.

Cozy, we got a lot to talk about today.
We've got like so many cards totalk about.
Actually, I gotta tell ya.
Haven't you felt like there hasbeen this treadmill of cards
coming out in Snap?
Hasn't it felt like more freshthan usual?
There's just so much happening.
Got the new game mode, cardscoming out of that game mode.
You got weekly cards, you gotcaches, double releases early on
in the season.
Man, there's so much to talkabout.

Cozy Snap (01:04:06):
Dude, there is, man.
We got we have what, like eightcars today plus and listen, it
was and it's good becauseFebruary wasn't exactly the
month that we were excitedabout.
We've talked about brightfuture.
We talked about March and April,and it almost feels good to get
done with this month a littlebit, but there was some
definitely diamonds in therough.
And there's definitely, I thinkthese reviews are going to be.

(01:04:27):
They're gonna be fun.
I know one that I I think Iregret saying pretty pretty well
buddy, but Because I don't evenremember what we ranked some of
these i'm gonna be honest.

Yeah, it's been a long month It's been like
one of those months where it'slike There's so many cards, so
much happening, and some of themreally punched above their
weight class, and others feltmaybe worse than expected.
And let's get started with SamWilson, Captain America, the
season pass card.
The season pass card often isthe one that a lot of people
fixate on.
Not only is it the one that youknow, you gotta spend your ten

(01:04:55):
bucks on which is USD of course,but it's also the one that I
think, It really sets the tonefor the season.
And I do think that Second Interdoes try to make the season pass
card like the linchpin card oflike even some of the
interactions you get with someother stuff.
With regards to Sam Wilson, Icame in at four stars, you came
in at three and a half to four.
So, A little bit, like, I thinkyou needed a little bit of

(01:05:18):
convincing.
What I'll tell you, in mypersonal opinion, is that Sam
Wilson has exceeded myexpectations.
I don't think it's as obviously,like, broken as, like, a Surge,
or it's not, it's not, like, aclear cut 5, but it has been so
meta relevant, and it has beensuch a quiet, heavily, like,
heavy high performer, that,like, I think it might be kinda,

(01:05:39):
like, not quite 5.
But it's, it's tapping on that,that ceiling.
It's tapping on that level.
Because I think it's just beenremarkably good.
From an initiative grantingstandpoint, like, it's just
good, man.
If I recall, we

Cozy Snap (01:05:51):
gave, we both gave him the color of the month.
I think it was hard to not, wegave him number one, I think.
Diamondback was two, maybe,maybe I said Diamondback was
one, but I feel like Idefinitely liked him the best.
I would agree, though.
I think what we didn't likeabout him, if you don't draw
him, whatnot, but just likegetting the shield out, the
priority, being able to haveconstant pressure on the
opponent by moving the shield.
You know, I he reminds me and Idon't even know if we said this,

(01:06:13):
but maybe we did and he remindedme a bit of Kate Bishop and the
sense of, like, he can just kindof work as this nice to drop
that's flexible.
And obviously he was made inmind with the game mode too.
I think that was not acoincidence.
I think he was like, you know,clearly they, they knew he'd be
pretty solid in that.
I, I wouldn't give him a fivepersonally, you know, I think
that there's, you know, yeah, Iwouldn't give him a five, but I

(01:06:35):
do think he's definitely he, he.
Fell above expectation.

To be clear.
I'm not saying that he's a five.
I'm saying that he's like asclose as you can get without
being a, okay.
Okay.
Like he's like a 4.
8.
If I had to go right down to thenitty gritty, like he is right
there.
And I think that he, his poweris deceptive.
I think his strength isdeceptive.
I don't think it's obvious.
And I think that part of ithonestly, is that he activates
cards like call obsidian.

(01:06:58):
Call obsidian is a card that hasgenuinely and truthfully
benefited from this card'sexistence in an insane way.
It's to the point that the.
The Surtur decks, which havesince been nerfed, we're running
call obsidian strictly becauseit had a guaranteed spot with
that shield.
And that's something you hadmentioned on, in our video, in
our discussion.
Right.
And it was something that I hadnot considered prior.
I don't think many people had.

(01:07:20):
And then what you saw is other10 power cards in those Surtur
shells, something like a A Tumacould utilize the shield as like
a bounce off of ensuring itdidn't actually destroy anything
instead of having to run thearmor, which it did anyways, the
armor Cosmo combination.
But a Tuma got to feast on thatshield.
But like, honestly, in the newmode, it absolutely crushed.
Not only did it earn initiativeand give you a free point almost

(01:07:41):
every single game, becausesomehow the, the Egamoto
location, the sanctum locationhappened to be the one where the
shield was sitting on.
It had to be because like bothplayers are paying, playing the
damn card anyways.
So it's like.
A 66 percent chance thatsomeone's getting a free point
on turn one.
It just felt very consistent,very strong.
It's running a 20 percentpopularity, which is high.

(01:08:03):
We've seen higher for seasonpass.
We're sure seeing higher.
I wonder if this is one peopleskipped on.

Cozy Snap (01:08:08):
I feel like it is.
I do.
I feel like people skipped onFebruary, man.
And from like what I've seen,like starting with the season
pass moving forward, I mean,because like, I think we both
said like, you don't need it.
Right.
And like.
I feel like it, what did we say?
We said like, this is a car thatwill get a lot of popularity
this month, and then as we moveon, you're not gonna see it.
I do fear for that a little bit.
That's why I don't want to giveit a five.

(01:08:28):
I feel like in a few months fromnow, I just don't think we're
going to see it in decks unlesspriorities, you know, the
importance.

I think you're right.
But at the same time, I feellike we're selling it short for
how good it is.
Like, I feel, how do I explainthis?
There are some cards that are soobviously good, right?
There's so obvious good.
Like, like what Surtur was like,we keep going back to Surtur,
but Surtur was so obvious likeon paper.
It's like, how could anyone notsee that this is a five star
card with Sam Wilson?
I think it's deceptively verygood.

(01:08:55):
And another example of that iseven like the Scream decks were
running Sam Wilson.
Because with Sam Wilson, youcould add Craven in it.
Because those decks used to be,Oh, I don't draw Scream, I lose.
Now, I don't draw Scream, and Ihave Sam Wilson, I have Iron
Patriot, I have Craven, and allof those feast in that deck.
Yeah,

Cozy Snap (01:09:13):
and that's why it gave me that Kate Bishop feel,
because she was the same.
It was like, okay, you know Itwas a car, you know, she was
cool.
I don't see it though.
A lot of people, I rememberlike, I just don't see it, you
know, I don't, I don't, why isshe so good?
Why, yeah, and then as time wenton, you're like, oh, it's
because she fits into so much,right?
Like, it, she truly works andhelps other decks out and, and
her value is just not in yourface.

(01:09:34):
Which is, you know, obviously,why part of Surtur went up so
well much in, in playabilitytoo, and how much you got played
is, it's just obvious what,what's happening.
It's obvious how big he'sgetting, and it's easy to
understand, unlike some otherthings like bounce, whatever.
Like Toxin, when that released,you could have looked at him and
like, wow, this is obviouslyinsane.
But compared to Surtur, it'slike, oh, big power.
Like, this is obviously, youknow, huge too.

(01:09:56):
But yeah, I agree, man.
I think he definitely ends upbeing the best card of the
month.

Yeah, it could very well be.
And moving on is the card thatreleased at the same time.
And unlike the prior month, thiscard does not have any inherent
synergy with Sam Wilson.
It was Joaquim Torres Falcon.
Now, this card has been sincebuffed.
It's been dropped down to a 2 2.
Right.
It was a three costed cardbefore I came in kind of hot.

(01:10:21):
I came in expecting a four starrelease from him.
So far, not looking good.
You say four stars, the cargobuffed, Alex, you dumbass.
Like, what are you doing there,bud?
Because you came in at three.
So at least I'm going to giveyou the win on this one.
You got the dub on the OGJoaquin Torres Falcon.
What were your thoughts on thiscard?

Cozy Snap (01:10:37):
Joaquin.
Yeah, man, I think I think if wesaw a keynote at two, two, we
would have been a bit moreexcited.
And you know, the three, four.
The awkwardness there, I thinkit was kind of, maybe I said he
was a win more sometimes andthat's kind of what he felt
like.
And like, again, it's like whenwe get destroyed cards and I've
brought this up twice, we usedto get excited and it's like
bounces in that same territory.

(01:10:57):
It's like, okay, who are youcutting?
Why are you cutting?
What needs to make it?
Clearly that's where his home isbest.
But as I've said, you know, thefirst time around, he does have
something that's going to scaleover time.
I don't see us getting a lot ofone costs for whatever reason in
the future and it has to be anon reveal.
So you have like two thingsworking against it for it to be
Like I think Thaddeus agesbetter than this because you

(01:11:17):
have what we got to 10 powerthree.
We've got three, 10 power cardsthis next month.
That's that's three more cardsthat synergize with Thaddeus.
Think about that compared toJoaquin, right?
So that's obviously a pretty bigbump up.
And how it's gonna age like finewine, whatever we like to say
there, but 2 2 now, you got adifferent Joaquin man, that's

(01:11:38):
for damn sure.

It's totally different, and it's way better.
And what's interesting about itis, in my testing with the 3
costed one, I actually, thismight be a hot take, I didn't
mind it.
With that being said, I'm notlike a committed bounce player.
I play bounce very casually whenI have to because I just don't
like the archetype that much,I'll be honest.
I just don't like the archetype,I like to play other stuff.
But when I was playing him, Ihad a good win rate.

(01:12:01):
I had a good cube rate, I rankedup, he felt good.
And what was interesting aboutit is the cards that were
carrying me were the Nicos andthe you know, the the Rocket
Raccoons, those scalers, thoseeffective scalers.
And I felt that I had room forthem, despite the fact that he
was a three cost card.
At a two cost, he suddenly worksso much better with Beast.

(01:12:23):
He works so much better withToxin.
His ability to be bounced backand then replicated as, like, a
play, And so the ability for itto kind of be slotted in and
bounce is just incredible.
It didn't feel like the bestversion of bounce when I was
playing Joaquin Torres Falcon,and I think that's what held it
back.
However, now with him as a 2 2,it feels like he could very well

(01:12:44):
be in the best version ofBounce.
Especially if we get new 1drops.

Cozy Snap (01:12:48):
This is what we're gonna do, alright?
Next season, you can playJoaquin down, then you can play
Mystique down, same lane, thenyou can play your favorite 1
cost, be whatever you want, nameit, and then you're gonna pop
down Misery, and then you'regonna have that trigger, I don't
know, how many times, 8 times, 9times, maybe 10 times, and then
guess what?
Firehair, other lane.
Triggers, again, once again, onthis, on this card, and you have

(01:13:10):
now 9 demons, you can't evendraw 9 cards, and, and you just
win the game.
Yeah, I I do agree, I think, Ithink it was what, a 49, 50
percent win rate in balancebefore the the change?
Which is not bad.
What is it now?
I haven't seen it.
Yeah, it was in

like the, it was in like the high 40s.
It wasn't great.
But it was not, like, peoplewere like, oh, this card sucks.
It's not good.
Like, it's clearly not like agreat card.
Like, I whiffed on four.
But, I think it could very wellhit that now.
Like, I, it definitely feelsreally good now.

Cozy Snap (01:13:38):
The problem with this card mainly, and all the cards
we're going to talk about today,is like, it's not if like, if
they're good and if they're bad.
Like, with Captain with CaptainFalcon is what I'm going to call
him.
With Captain Falcon, he was aseason pass card, so not a big
deal.
Yeah, I mean, yeah, you gottapay for it.
But for these, it's like, okay,when you look at these cards
this month, compare, compared tothe cards this coming month,

(01:13:59):
that's where, that, that's theproblem.
It's the resource management ofthem.
And like, it's a new card.
Is it going to be good enough?
Yes, but it's when you comparethem and the reality that a lot
of SNAP players are in is thatjust the scarce resources that
they have, right?
That, I think, is why people areso hesitant on getting something
like this.

Oh, I agree 100%.
It's like, oh, would you ratherhave Joaquin Torres Falcon or

Cozy Snap (01:14:21):
Starbrand,

which completely could revive an old
archetype, or Conchu, whichlooks incredible, or Ison, which
might, yeah, or Fire.
Yeah, exactly.
All the cards next month seemway better, right?
And

Cozy Snap (01:14:33):
spotlights at that.
The spotlights this month werealso like questionable, right?

That was the other thing.
Yeah, they were bad.
And a bunch of them got dropped.
Like, Oh, the last one wasPhoenix force and Nimrod.
How many times have we literallyseen that exact one?
And then nebula is being droppedas it's in the spotlight cash.
I mean, actually even this monthwe do have scar being dropped.
Despite it being in thespotlight, which isn't great.
But 3.
Like, the other ones are goingto series 3.

(01:14:56):
Whereas this one's not.
So yeah.
Anyways, we're keen towardsFalcon.
It's definitely better than itwas before.
And we'll have to see,especially with that recent
change, how it performs.
Now, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross,I'm ready to defend this man's
honor.
We ended up at twos, and youwere like, Disgruntled at two.
You wanted to say one, and Ithink I talked you up, okay?

(01:15:17):
I'm gonna say that I likeThaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, and
if he gets buffed to a 2 3, I'mgonna say that he's a good card.
I don't mind this card.
I play it probably more thananybody.
I'm not going to say that it'slike a card that you have to
have.
You absolutely do not need tohave this card.
But when I play them, I drawcards.
And I think the major concernis, is that Surtur took a

(01:15:39):
massive L with this patch.
Like it's just not, it's justnot the same card it was before.
And those shells have shifted.
And is Thaddeus Thunderbolt Rossworth having in those shells?
Probably not.
When you consider comparingThunderbolt Ross to something
like a Sam Wilson, it's not evenclose.
He's not, does not do that.
He doesn't compete in thebreadth of the decks that Sam
Wilson could be in.
And he does not compete powerwise.

(01:16:01):
But the draw effect is powerful.
And so I get stuck in this spotof like Is Thaddeus Thunderbolt
Ross my favorite card that Iprobably will never play again?
And no one should ever playagain.
I don't know how else to explainit.

Cozy Snap (01:16:14):
I don't know.
I think he's yeah.
Watch him being the best.
He's he's on deck, right?
Because like you don't put anyother tens.
You have him in there.
You don't have a song, but youhave all these ramp cars because
you're trying to get ease ondown.
Agamotto.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Right.
And then you can pull thoselike, I don't know.
I do, I do feel like he'll agebetter.
We've kept saying that.
He is just like, he's just like,he's just, yeah, the ultimate,

(01:16:34):
you don't need him card.
And that's the weird thing abouthim.
He's good.
You don't need him.
And I, I, I can't even tell youmaybe like something like speed,
you know, like, like where he'sgood, you don't need him.
Yeah.
And speed's probably not even agood example.
Speed's just better.
But like.
Something of that effect.

Yeah, no, absolutely.
And like, I do think that, like,Speed suffered from that too,
where it's like, Speed, onpaper, there was one point in
the game where Untapped ratedhim as one of the highest win
rates in the game.
And there was not a singleperson that gave a hoot about
Speed.
And he has seen some play hereand there.
But like, Thaddeus ThunderboltRoss?
I gotta be honest with you, Ithink it's because of the
weakness of the spotlight cachesas well.
I don't think people gave him ashot.

(01:17:14):
I don't think he actually got ashot.
And I played a ton of him.
In a couple of different rampshells and something like that.
Even outside of the actuallaunch week where like I was
incentivized to play them forcontent reasons.
And I gotta tell you, like, Iwas impressed on occasion.
Regularly impressed.
I had people retreat after theyfloated energy twice, and I had,
like, seven cards in my hand.
And they're like, what am Igonna do?

(01:17:35):
This guy has all his chunks.
So, honestly, ThaddeusThunderbolt Ross, I totally
respect the reason why youwouldn't get him.
Like, if I had to say, hey, rollon Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross or
save for This next season comingup.
100 percent you save for thenext season coming up.
That was the correct choice.
I'm just saying, if this cardgoes to 2 3, I wouldn't be
surprised if it became relevantin a niche capacity somewhere.

(01:17:58):
Because I think it's closer tobeing good than people might
think.
You'll be serious dropping

Cozy Snap (01:18:02):
on the next drop for sure.
Not the next one, but the nextone.

Yeah.

Cozy Snap (01:18:07):
I feel

it.
Listen, I might be coping, butI'm telling you no, I like No,
no.
Think I just like them.

Cozy Snap (01:18:10):
Agree.
I think, I think you're right.
I think I understand your take.
I do, yeah, for sure.

I understand.
The take is, is the nice way ofsaying your take sucks sch nuts.
But you know what also I thinkkind of sh sucks.
Sch nuts is red wing, red wing.
I'm not a big fan of, I gave ittwo star.
You went one and a half anddamn.
I don't like this card.
I just don't like it at all.
Like it's, I I would take fattyover red wing any day of the
week, not even close.
Yeah, just damn for sure.

(01:18:36):
Seriously.

Cozy Snap (01:18:37):
I don't that's some Thaddeus.
I don't like, I don't, Idefinitely don't like red wing,
man.
I I've said it.
I mean, as I said, it was likeback to back weeks.
I'm just like, Oh, I don't know,man.
Yeah.
I would say I would definitelysay that.
Yes, for sure.
Over those two.
Yeah.
At least in deck for sure.
Deck design to index and likebeing able to play it and
whatnot.

(01:18:58):
Red wing, red wing just has somuch going against it.
Like not only is it like, yeah.
Combo reliant.
It's not super plug andplayable.
It's not in a dex.
Like it doesn't really love tobe a dex That are already good
right now.
Anyway, they already gave itsome more love gonna get more
love probably will you didn'tmiss anything

No.
Do you want to take a guess atits win rate right now?
37.
Oh my gosh! Okay, you did RedWing way dirtier than I
expected.
It's actually 47.
Okay, fair enough.
But it's still not good.
47's rough.
And most probably concerning isthe fact that it's seen play by
only 3%.
That's as popular.
People did not care at all aboutRed Wing.
Did not care about Thaddeus.

(01:19:40):
And there's, there's somebelievers out there.
There's some believers, andthey're going to be in the
comments, that you guys missedon Red Wing.
Yeah, you see them, right?
And I'm gonna say I disagree.
I, I, I just disagree.
I don't think this is aparticularly good card.
It does have one thing goodabout it

Cozy Snap (01:19:54):
though.
There's one like really goodthing about it.
And it's that you don't have tospend tokens that week.
And that, that's it's best, it'sbest trait right there.
Thank you, Redwing.
That's

it.
It does have great varianceactually.
It does have some fire variance.
We got to talk.
What did you call him?
You call him like an owl?
What did you call him?
An owl or

Cozy Snap (01:20:07):
something?

I thought he was a bald eagle or something.
I don't remember.
People thought that wasridiculous.
But no, it actually blew my mindthat he was a falcon.
Also, he must Redwing must onlybe from the new movie, which
I've not yet seen.
Cause I don't remember Redwingexisting before.
I know that falcon has like thelittle robot thing he, like,
has.
That's Redwing, yeah.
But not this.

Cozy Snap (01:20:25):
Yeah, they re adapted Redwing.

Okay.
Understood.

Cozy Snap (01:20:28):
I'll just have to watch the movie.
Have you seen it yet?
No, I haven't, dude.
I have not made it a priority.
To go see, it's been too, toobusy at times, man, but I want
to, I want to, I'll, I'll find away, or I don't know, man,
movies go so fast at Disneythese days, or whatever, I might
catch on there, we'll see.

Yeah, actually, that's exactly what I
did with some of the morepopular ones, like, I just kind
of waited them out I don'tremember what the last one was
that came, oh, it was Wolverine,Deadpool Wolverine, I never saw
it in theaters.
I watched it in in what's itcalled in my home, I guess,
that's, that's where it'scalled?
Yeah, it's called, I was like,what's the, what's the name for
the thing that you, that I didright now?
It's Yeah, anyways, it's, it's,sorry, we're confused, it's
late, we've been going for awhile.

(01:21:04):
Alright, so, Red Wing sucks,that's unfortunate.
What I will say that doesn'tsuck, Hanuman movies and stuff,
my wife and I are still watchingthrough what's his name?
Daredevil?
Yes.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I don't know where I am rightnow, I don't know what I'm
watching, I don't know anything.
Who are you?
Daredevil, we're on like episode5, buddy, it's, my wife actually
enjoys it.
It's good, it's good.
This is good news, man, this isa Marvel show that my wife is
not like associating withMarvel.

Cozy Snap (01:21:24):
I've been watching this I mean, first of all, I'm
happy for you, man.
I've been watching oh, dude,Running Point?
Have you heard this?
It's with Kate Hudson.
It's just like it's like TedLasso.
but Ted Lasso's better, but it'slike you know what Ted Lasso is?
That's like the football coach,right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's good for you sayingfootball.
He's like a life coach orsomething.
I know, I've heard of him.
I've never Regardless, it'sactually a pretty good series.

(01:21:45):
But yeah, definitely DeadDaredevil's much better.
And you, listen, you only haveto go through like three more
seasons to catch up for the newseason dropping.
Yeah,

that's pretty exciting.
Yeah, actually, you're right.
Three more seasons at this pace,I'll be done five years from
now, which is exciting.
So yeah, Red Wings, so good westopped talking about it.
Diamondback, Diamondback, andthis is going to be the last
card of the the, the caches.
Cozy, I said 3.
5 to 4, ended it on 4, you wentin at 4.
Now you kind of gave a bit of acringe there, so I'll give you

(01:22:14):
the floor here.
What do you think aboutDiamondback?

Cozy Snap (01:22:17):
Well, first of all, Diamondback came out at a weird,
a little bit of a weird timebecause of Sanctum coming out.
Like, I know a lot of peoplelike wanted to play,

Yeah.

Cozy Snap (01:22:25):
Game mode and stuff.
I think, you know, for me sheperformed well, by the way.
I think she did good.
Her popularity is very lowbecause of that, because you
have all the new cards that cameout.
Last I checked it was like 1%,dude.
It was like awful.
It's super low.
It may be higher.
You have the

Yeah, I took it just before we started.
It's 2.
1%.

Cozy Snap (01:22:39):
Yeah, that's really low.
So that's almost so low that youcan't even take the stats of a
win rate.
Like the 2 percent is so low ofa margin, right?
But I would guess, I don't knowthe rates, I would guess she's
above 50%, which is hard to dofor Affliction, hard to do for
Affliction Dex, and I thinkshe's

positive cubes.
She's 50.
5 and just ever so slightlynegative cubes.
But I don't, I don't know thesestats.
I wouldn't, I wouldn't weighinto them too much.
Cause this week was destroyed bythe fact that new mode came out
and the stats are kind of splitup amongst them.
Now I was playing affliction inthe new mode when it first
launched, because I was like,first of all, I wanted the
footage, right?
I wanted the footage for thecontent for the new card.

(01:23:15):
And so I'm like, I don't care.
Like I'm going to play, I'llplay this.
I thought it was great.
I love Diamondback.
I think Diamondback's anexcellent card.
Man, it's a three costed cardthat will single handedly win a
location.
And being able to combo itconfidently with Hazmat and just
completely pump a location, itwas so good.
I was trying, like, Evo with it.
That was okay.

(01:23:36):
But straight up, like, Ajax withit was just Awesome.
It was awesome.
Like, it's just, no, I'm notgoing to accept anything less
than Diamondback's a good card,because that's exactly what it
is, damn it.

Cozy Snap (01:23:46):
Yeah, for sure.
And we, we, we said that, like,with Affliction, like, is
already just such a goodarchetype at the time, so it's
just something that boosts thatup more.
I think the question was, is itgoing to be a win more card?
And that, that, that was kind ofwhat it was, and I, I, I think
it wasn't at all, right?
Because you just have so manyother cards that work well with
it, locations that work wellwith it, and I think it is going
to age good as we continue on.

And one thing I will say is that because I was
in the new mode testing it alot, no one was playing Luke
Cage in that mode.
Like, nobody was playing LukeCage in that mode.
But, the people that did, andthey played Luke Cage on turn
six, completely just throttledmy behind.
Like, I, my cheeks had beenclappethed by the Luke Cage and
it was savage.
So like, coming down on turn sixwas pretty rough.

(01:24:25):
But honestly, Diamondback is agood card.
And if you're watching thisright now and you have the
opportunity to get it, like, ifyou play Affliction, like, I
think it's definitely worth it.
Yeah, for sure.
If you, if you like Affliction,if you like Ajax, those decks
are kind of expensive.
They're, they're Creeping up incost because you have Malekith
versions which are still prettygood.
I actually, I like Malekith.
That was a call a couple seasonsback.
You were high on Malekith, Iwasn't.

(01:24:46):
I've aged into really likingthat card.
And I'm still lamenting over thefact I can't get the Ferraro
variant, I've been told.
Is the one that I've beenlooking for.
It has that nice painted versionof it.
But yeah, Diamondback is prettylegit.
And cozy, that's going to takeus to the Sanctum cards.
We have Laufey, Gorgon, andUncle Ben.
Who do you want to start with?

(01:25:07):
Let's start with Unk.
Gunk?

Cozy Snap (01:25:10):
Unk.
Uncle Ben.

Oh, Unk.
I thought you were trying togive Gorgon some sort of like,
fancy name.
But like, Gorgon into Gunk?
I'm like, okay.
How did Uncle Ben turn out?
Was he

Cozy Snap (01:25:20):
just a meme?
Was he a dream, Alex?
How did Uncle Ben show up?

With great power comes a terrible card.
This card is garbage.
Like, it's less than garbage.
Like, this card is so bad, that,like, it is absolute bait for
people that didn't have enoughresources to roll for the other
cards, who are so much, atleast, more relevant than Uncle
Ben.
Uncle Ben is so bad, there'sliterally no reason to play it.
I tried to play it in, like,regular Destroy.

(01:25:46):
I'm like, why the hell am Idoing this?
Yeah, I tried to play it inScream.
I'm like, why the hell am Idoing this?
Why would you play Uncle Ben ina Scream deck where you just
play Literally any other card inMarvel snap

Cozy Snap (01:25:55):
and it's

better.

Cozy Snap (01:25:56):
It's just he somehow makes firehair a bad card because you
destroy uncle Ben and then firehair becomes spider Becomes yeah
spider man, right?
Oh my gosh, and

then you kill her.
She's done.
Oh, man I never thought of that.
Is this a new cook on the uncleBen fire hair cook here?
It's awful.

Cozy Snap (01:26:13):
And I was that awful as an offer because you don't
want fire hair So then like shebecomes spider man she becomes
marginally better And it movesto another location.

You know what would have been so much better?
On, so when Uncle Ben getsdestroyed.
He shoots bolts from his ballsack.

Cozy Snap (01:26:29):
Ooh, bolts a ball sack on Uncle Ben.
Okay, I like it.
Yeah, what's his winner ratethough?
What's it like, 35?
30?

25?
38%.
That is And negative 67 cubes.
Almost a full cube negative foranybody who's trying him.

Cozy Snap (01:26:43):
Dude, I, I, listen, I respect, I respect the love and
the memeship around him, but heis, we knew he was gonna be bad.
What about someone like Gorgon?
I think he's going to be a hardcard to see his stats right now
and tell anything about him.

Gorgon's stats are totally irrelevant, because
Gorgon's only going to berelevant when the Esan and the
Agamottos It's like next month.
We're basically getting nextmonth's tech card now.
And in the past, I don'tremember exactly what it was.
What season was it?
You're really good at this.
We always get What season was itwhere we got like the triple M
after?

Cozy Snap (01:27:13):
September.
But that's all September of The2023, but the, the we always get
the tech card, the answer forthe card after every single
time.
We always get that.
Yep.
I know.
Yeah.
So who was Emma triple M tryingto answer for?
Triple M was for Loki, Cass,Cassandra Nova was for Arishem.
Like we, we have like.
It's always like this after thefact thing that we would get.

(01:27:36):
And it, I don't, I think they dothat obviously by design.
They let something feast for asecond and then they, they, they
kill it.
Scream with some of the movecards scream came out after like
madam web and stuff, I believe.
Even though that wasn't as bigof a deal as we thought it would
be.
But yeah, but now we're gettingit ahead of time, so Gorgon is
impossible to tell.
But I do think he's gonna beatthe Tech Harp.
I don't know if he'll slot intothe deck, we've already
argumented this for a while,like, do we think he'll make the

(01:27:57):
spot in the deck?
Will he be a big enough answerto those things?
I think if Esan and then popoff, absolutely.

I was playing the Gorgon deck, which was a
Darkhawk Ronin deck, which I'vealready brought up a couple of
times.
And he was kind of actually goodthere because it made it
impossible for them to dump thesentries.
I also ran the Black Widow,which having that widow's kiss
in your hand and having to payfor it sucks.
And I also ran Moonstone.
Which could be played on top ofthe Gorgon, which would also
double dip as an activator for aMystique with Ronin or Darkhawk.

(01:28:26):
And so I actually had a deckthat I liked.
And I think that that deck isgoing to perform better into the
Agamotto season.
Because of the amount of cardgeneration and stuff like that.
And stuffing the hands andpreventing people from drawing
their Agamotto cards.
And from Ison pulling sentriesand stuff like that.
It's going to be kind ofinteresting.
So I think that Gorgon is hardto evaluate right now.

(01:28:47):
But what I will say is if you'replaying Sanctum, I think getting
Gorgon's important.
Yes.
Because I think that Gorgonmight be a very important tech
piece, especially if you're freeto play.
If you don't have Agamotto, andyou're not able to kind of join
the chaos that might be ensuingnext week, you might want to be
in a position where you can atleast counter and farm.
And I think that Gorgon's goingto be a key part of that
counterplay.

(01:29:07):
Lauffey.
Lauffey.
Lauffey is, it's kind ofinteresting because Lauffey
comes out the same week thatDiamondback's in.
And Diamondback and Lauffey, intheory, can be played together
and even on Curve, 4.
I played a lot of Lauffeybecause I was still playing a
lot of Fiction, because I was, Iwas really impressed by
Diamondback.
Like, legit.
I think it's, it's my favourite.
I don't think it's the card ofthe month, but I think

(01:29:28):
Diamondback really did punchabove its weight class.
Yeah.
Laufey was good, but it wasn'tgreat.
And I think part of the reasonwhy is because in order to
really min max it, you had toplay in a way where you played
Laufey, you ripped power fromyour, from your own cards, and
then you had to reset the powerusing your own Luke Cage.
Because if you had Luke Cage outprior, then Laufey was

(01:29:48):
restricted in how much it couldget.
It almost felt like like abudget friendly, not even a
budget friendly, what am Italking about?
It felt like You know, like, Oh,I want spider woman.
Well, you have spider woman athome and you got low fee.
That meme, Lofi felt verysimilar to spider woman in the
sense that like it wants to,like, it wants to disrupt your
opponent and obviously it'sstealing.

(01:30:08):
However, it's use with Luke Cagewas kind of tricky.
Cause you want a min max.

Cozy Snap (01:30:12):
It reminded me a bit of black Swan.
And let me tell you why onpaper, you looked at black Swan
at the time.
And you were like, wow, this isgoing to work really well into
balance.
And you look at Lofi and it'slike.
This is going to be perfect forAffliction, but then when you
play the decks and you see thelines and you see the cost and
what's being played at whatpoint and what you're looking
for and wanting and what'sactually happening, just because

(01:30:35):
something looks great, itdoesn't always convert, right?
And vice versa, if it doesn'tlook good, but then, like, in
the way that lines work out,it's really good.
I think that was Laufey'sbiggest thing.
It's like, Black Swan had thatissue, and I feel like Laufey
What Affliction's doing, hedoesn't, yeah he's tricky, he's
not bad, I don't think he's abad card, I think he's just,

(01:30:56):
he's kind of neutral, like, doyou like him better or worse
than Man Thing?

I would play Man Thing over Laufey.
Yeah, probably.
I think.
Because, keep in mind, Man Thinghas two extra power, which is
not insignificant.
It's ongoing effect can beobviously dealt with.
Laufey is more susceptible tonot Shun Chi.
It can be, theoretically, butit's more susceptible to Shadow
King, whereas Manthing's not.
I would take Manthing overLaufey.
Because I think the ongoingeffect of it kind of helps out.

(01:31:21):
And I think you're right though,if you think about what
Affliction's doing, Afflictionoften just wants to afflict
anything.
If you're playing an Abominationversion, you activate
Abomination by just having thenumbers being afflicted.
You can do that with Hazmat,with Man Thing, with U.
S.
Agent, whatever.
If you think about you know,Cassandra Nova, Scorpion,
they're just trying to applythat negative value so that
Ajax, which is like the carrycard of that archetype, can

(01:31:42):
feast.
You don't need to steal thepower, you know what I mean?
It's, it's just I don't know ifit's necessary.

Cozy Snap (01:31:47):
Yeah, I think we have to, here's the pro, can I tell
you the biggest problem with himthough and why stats can be
completely wrong and I thinkLaufey's actually like not bad,
is that we knew Diamondback wasgonna have the worst stats quote
unquote this week, right?
A lot of people playing Sanctum,well what's, Laufey's weakness
is the same thing asDiamondback's, right?
So you're gonna get way moreloot cages and so I think
because of that, I think he'llbe better in a couple weeks from

(01:32:09):
now, I really do.
I think, I think he'll agebetter too.
Yeah, I don't know.
I just, it's tough.
It's so hard to, to, to, to tellwhat these cards that come out
on weeks, especially with Laufeybecause of he got hit with the
diamond back counter too.
You know, I want to see how he'sgoing to be in just a little
bit.

For what it's worth, I liked Laufey.
I played Laufey.
He was legit.
Like he did things that uncleBen couldn't, let's be honest.
Right.
And I thought like Laufey wasgenerally serviceable.
And if you're a free to playplayer, those playing the mode
and you pull Laufey, you walkaway satisfied from that.
I think you're going to want tomake sure you have at least
Laufey Gorgon.
I think uncle Ben, who cares?
Laufey Gorgon, you're going towant to have, I would probably

(01:32:47):
prioritize Gorgon consideringwhat this next month looks like.
Yeah.
But in terms of individualpower, Laufey is a much more
capable card.
On its own.

Cozy Snap (01:32:55):
And we have a lot of like I think what discard right
now is, you know, the bullseyedecks very popular.
You've got the Hela is getting alot of play right now to ongoing
and the move decks, right?
Those are the ones I'm seeing tome.
It's like Laffy doesn't exceltremendous against some of
those.
Whereas like in the zoo seasonwhere there's like a lot of
cards, lots to deal with, right?
A little bit better there.

(01:33:15):
I think it might depend on themeta it's had for him too.
I, I'm going to be interested inhis story and where he goes.

Yeah, so let's talk final rankings here.
For me, when we look at the thefree cards that were acquired
from the Sanctum Showdown, Iwould definitely rank them
Laufey, Gorgon, and Uncle Ben,but it's funny, in terms of
individualized power, that'swhere they would rank.
However, coming into this newseason, I would actually
probably say that I'm mostinterested in having Gorgon in

(01:33:41):
my deck.
Yeah.
Or Gorgon in my collection.
Laufey, Uncle Ben, so Laufey andGorgon, depending on how you
want to look at it, are numberone and two.
What do you think?

Cozy Snap (01:33:50):
Yep, I agree.
Yeah, and then Uncle Ben's thetrash.

And for final rankings overall, when we talk
about what we ranked, weactually were almost identical.
We had one minor change amongstthe two.
We both agreed Sam Wilson,number one.
I put Joaquin Forrest Falcon,number two.
You put Diamondback, two.
So W cozy on that one.
So then for me, I diamond backthree.
You had you had Yoke JoaquinPhoenix three, and then you had,

(01:34:14):
we both had Redwing Ross.
So Redwing Ross Ross with us theend Redwing.
I did that again.
I did the most confusing waypossible, but yeah, cozy gets
the double on the final rankingsthere.
We both had Sam Wilson, but yourated diamond back higher where
I had a diamond back one spotlower.
And that was essentially thedifference between the two of us
there.
What do you think?

Cozy Snap (01:34:30):
Yeah, that feels right.
That's a tough, that's like aLaffy Taffy label.
See,

I'm telling you man, I had a hard time
there, now you are, now I feelvalidated.

Cozy Snap (01:34:40):
Yeah, that sounds about right.

Okay, good, good, good.
And you know what else soundsabout right cozy?
It's about right to go to ourSnapchat mailbag.
How do you like that transition?
I would give it a 6 out of 10.

Cozy Snap (01:34:49):
It's like a 10.
It was good.
The practice was good.
The thought was good.
The execution was, it was like adeal.
Oh man, I just,

you know, I feel like, I feel like a little
off today.
I just feel like, you know, it'sone of those things where, you
know, sometimes you're just nothaving your best day.
I'm not, I just feel like myperformance today hasn't been up
to snuff, you know what I mean?
You gotta just, you gotta justimprove a little bit.
I saw a shirt I wanted to getyou, but then it was

Cozy Snap (01:35:07):
kind of sexual.

It was just lingerie.
You sent me lingerie.
No,

Cozy Snap (01:35:13):
it said, it had a picture of the Costco hot dog.
And it was like, you know, theobvious picture they use on the
menu of the hot dog with likelittle Coke and every Pepsi next
to it.
And it said, got a little dog inme.
And I was like, I get it.
I was like, that's fun.
But I kind of felt ungrateful.
I actually don't get it.
I got a little dog in me.
You haven't like.

Is that like a down south thing?

Cozy Snap (01:35:36):
No, definitely not.
No, you know what, I'll let thecomments handle this one.
I'm gonna buy you that shirtnow.

Yeah, okay, yeah, we'll let the comments
argue that one there so I don'tget demonetized on this one.
The bolts of ball sack alreadykind of running rampant on your
side.
So anyways, Cozy, we got acouple questions for the mailbag
this week.
And there's a couple good oneshere.
Cozy, today we're gonna startwith some positivity and it
comes from Elpharay who says Notgonna lie, the update to the
webshot's daily wheel spin is alot better than I first thought.

(01:36:04):
At worst, you get 100 extracredits each day for loading up
a webpage and clicking a button.
At the high end, it's prettysolid, as I've landed on 200 or
more credits a decent amount,plus I've gotten at least 4
borders from it.
I just wanted to post someappreciation for an all around
small buff to free resources.
And Kozy, I bring this upbecause a lot of people may not
even realize that this actuallyexists.

(01:36:26):
And that you can go to thewebshop on the marvelsnap.
com site, and you can free rollevery single week.
If you're logging in, like,every 8 hours for that 25
credits, man, you gotta berolling for the free shop stuff,
too.

Cozy Snap (01:36:37):
Yeah, yeah, it's definitely something to good,
good reminder for people to go.
Check out and it is a muchwelcome buff.
Yeah, but what like around thetime of the shutdown, yeah

Yeah, it must have been.
It must have been added aroundthe time of the shutdown.
The only argument I have againstit, I don't even know the
legality of it, but I stillcan't believe they don't give
receipts for the purchases youmake there.
It's like you make a purchasethere and it just like
disappears into the void.
It just shows up in your game.
It's like, well, I don't know ifit's supposed to work like that.
Like you're supposed to give mesome sort of proof of purchase,
aren't you?
Yeah, right.
I know this is like a digitalcard game and everything we buy
doesn't actually exist, but likeyou're treating it like it

(01:37:08):
actually doesn't exist.

Cozy Snap (01:37:10):
Yeah, it's like an order number I think is the best
you get, but yeah, it's it's notgood.

And Elite Surgeon comes in with our next
question, which says, Also, awild conspiracy theory, but they
are finally buffing the badcards because of Marvel Rivals?
Adam Warlock and Mr.
Fantastic are doing well there,and they finally get buffed.
Also, datamines show next seasonWhite Queen is possibly coming
to Rivals.
Maybe a Jean Grey buff soon?

(01:37:35):
But that's just a theory.
Dot dot dot.

Cozy Snap (01:37:37):
Mantis, next up, man.
Mantis is coming.
We're gonna get a mantis that isnot complete garbage.
Is that the majority of the ofthe bad ones?
Let me think here.
I think so, yeah.
It's cra look, yeah, yeah.
Winter Soldier might be close.
We'll make he's a 2 7 now, youknow.
He's busted in that game, dude.
He's, yeah, he's probably thebest hero right

now.
You know what would be so funny?
If Winter Soldier got a buff,and then they just gave him like
one extra power, and then thenext OTA, he just said, again,
and they buffed him again, andthen the week after it was,
again, and they buffed himagain, and they just kept doing
it until he broke the game.
Can you imagine that?
How flavorful would that be?
Would be, would be

Cozy Snap (01:38:15):
Dave, yeah, dude, I I think A, I can't comment on on
leaks on that game, I, I'm not,I'm not supposed to, but White
Queen would be F'n awesome.
I would love, I would love, Iwould love to be able to play
with White Queen.

I would love to as well.
As ZestWhisper comes in with ournext question, it reads, The
Guardians have been insanelypopular in Sanctum, and for me,
at least they've proven to be avery competitive and high
voltage as well.
More energy equals more cardsplayed for more Guardian hits.
Rather than needing a rework,are they just missing one or two
new cards to synergize with toget that deck to make it more

(01:38:50):
competitive and louder?

Cozy Snap (01:38:51):
Yeah, I mean, I think it was last week someone
mentioned the either or or textor whatever that Adam got.
I think that that would beprobably the change.
Yeah.
I mean, and then obviously withSanctum, so I'm almost okay if,
if sanctum comes around as oftenas it does that the guardians
just like feast during thatpoint.

Oh buddy.
It's, I think having a limitedtime mate game mode where the
guardians are relevant ordestroy becomes relevant or
like, I dunno if that's a greatidea, if it's like two weeks of
like, oh, you gotta playdestroy.
Or else you suck.
Yeah, yeah.
But like, listen, who the hellis like crying the guardians
before?
Give'em their chance in thespotlight.
Damn it.
Give'em a chance.
Right.
But I, I do agree.
I think the otherwise text isprobably the best.
And talking about words that welike the best.

(01:39:32):
deconstructive feedback.
Said, how many times could youhear the word cope in a single
video?

Cozy Snap (01:39:39):
That's that's Alex's go to.
I mean that's his, that's yourbread and butter now.
I feel like I think that's likethe first time I said it just
today though.
When did you learn that word?
I feel like you learned it andyou're like, I'm gonna start
saying that.
Like, I heard you say suss.
You've been saying suss a lot.
I'm like the old dad

that learned something new and just kept
saying it over and over againuntil it was uncool.
Yeah,

Cozy Snap (01:39:55):
I heard you say suss a few times on stream.
I'm like, you know, what else,what other words are you, what
do you like to

say?
Dude, you gotta keep in mindthough that as a high school
teacher, like, I'm around a lotof this language, right?
Like, if I wanted to, if Iwanted to roll with the Riz,
like, I could.
I'm just trying to, you know,I'm just trying to act my age
and be a gentleman.
Whoa.
What is, what does the skibbityone mean?
Skibbity sigma.
Apparently skibbity is justnonsense.
And actually it was funny, therewas this kid that was saying

(01:40:22):
this stuff and he said skibbityat me.
He's like, oh sir, you're beingskibbity or something.
I'm like, how about you getskibbity suspended if you don't
sit down.
