Cozy Snap (00:00):
What's going on guys.
And welcome back to anotherepisode of the Snapchat.
This one is a good one.
I can assure you that as it's alate episode of the Snapchat,
it's late for us.
But we have star brand coming ona new big card for shuri Soran.
Will it revive the card?
Well, me and Alex gave our starratings and what we think about
the card.
There's a lot more uses than youmight think.
And then also a lot of new carscoming in the leaks and data

(00:21):
mines.
There's some fun ones.
We're going to break all thosedown and our first opinions.
And then for the best subject,the Snapchat mailbag is coming
over here for part one.
And there's some just incredibleconversation and we're going to
talk about that all today moreon this episode of the snapchat.
And as always, I am joined bythe one, the only Mr.
Alex Kocha.
Hello, my man.
Welcome to the second week ofour March season.

(00:43):
And it's, it's right now, sunny,beautiful here in San Diego.
How, how's it go?
There's no way it's still snowyover there, right?
It's it, it's gotta been clearedup a bit.

Alexander Coccia (00:53):
It is a little more clear now.
And it's funny, it's still sunnywhere you are.
It's it's almost 10 o'clockwhere I am now.
That little time difference,right.
That gets you sometimes, butthis week has been the first
week where it's been above like,well, 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
If you're American, zeroCanadian zero Canadian, zero
Celsius.
We're just starting to melt thesnow.
And it's funny.
Cause like, I remember you know,I sent you a couple of pics like

(01:16):
of like what it looked like inCanada driving, like while it
was snowing.
It's, it's literally insane.
Sometimes when it just calmsdown like crazy and it's
beautiful though.
Sometimes the trees get allcovered and like, I don't know.
I, I like the snow, but everytime spring and summer's coming,
I'm like, I'm ready for thechange.
You know what I mean?

Cozy Snap (01:33):
Well, we just had daylight saving too.
So like we had the the wholehour, which by the way, we've
talked about this, but withkids, I hate it.
It's such a.
It's such a pain, man.
Cause you gotta, you gotta flipit and we lose an hour, which is
just a, an L.
It's always better for constanton my side.
Cause I get to do everything alittle bit later.
I don't mind that like cardscome out a little later.
Stuff comes out a little bitlater and being on a Pacific

(01:56):
time.
That's where I lose out becauseeverything's early over here,
right?
There'll be like, you know, it'snine, 9am Eastern.
I'm like 6am over here, youknow?
The amount of times thathappened in snap, it used to
suck like balance badges, butI'm sure by now you've mastered
how to do daylight savings overthere.

Yeah.
Yeah.
And for me, it's actuallybeneficial when it's later too,
because like before daylightsavings time, new cars released
at two and I'm still at work.

Cozy Snap (02:19):
Oh yeah.
So now

they're released at three and I can be
home on time.
To actually check the new cardwhen it releases, right?
So it actually works out for mepretty pretty good.
But overall, like, yeah, like,daylight savings time, I don't
really notice it.
I actually don't reallyunderstand what the point is.
Like, I, if I really sat downand thought about it, like, are,
like, concerning the sun onwhich side, because now it's,
now it's, like, darker in themorning, so I'm not sure what's
going on.

(02:40):
Like, I feel like it was lighterbefore.

Cozy Snap (02:42):
And then Arizona just ignores it altogether.
Listen, I have a new homeworkassignment for you.
Last time it was Daredevil, andyou guys have been working your
way through that a little bit,okay?
If the new seasons come out ifyou guys don't know new
daredevils out go check it outBut I got a new homework
assignment and I hope you Idon't don't let me down Okay, I
don't know how you're gonnawatch it.
I don't think you have actuallyit's free on amazon prime If you

(03:03):
have that prime video, I don't Idon't know what it's called

I do but sometimes canada doesn't have
the same stuff you

Cozy Snap (03:09):
have.
Have you heard of severance?

No,

Cozy Snap (03:12):
you haven't heard of severance Okay, listen,

do you know I know what like getting severance
is?

Cozy Snap (03:16):
Do you, no, no, no, get rid of that.
Do you, okay, have you seen, I'msure you've seen like Inception.

No, is that the one with Leonardo DiCaprio?

Cozy Snap (03:26):
Yes, you have never seen like I know what

the ending is, but I've never seen the movie.

Cozy Snap (03:29):
So you've never seen Inception.
Okay, so punt my homework,forget that, and just go watch
Inception.
And then after you've done that,cause that's one of the greatest
movies.
Wow, I'm, have you seen likeShutter Island?

I have no idea what that is.

Cozy Snap (03:41):
Do you watch movies?
Do you watch film?
Do you, do you own a television?

Yeah I bought Sonic 3 for my kids on release
day.
We watched that like These arelike 10

Cozy Snap (03:49):
years ago though.
So like, the kids excuse onlygoes so far, you know?
The Inception was 20, 20 like 9,2009.

Sir, it might surprise you to know that I'm a
professional video game player.
I've built my entire careerabout not going outside.
So I don't know why you'resurprised.

Cozy Snap (04:06):
Well, movies are inside.
Okay, listen, I thought, I'mjust trying, have you seen The
Prestige?

I don't know what that is.
And also, let me clarify, moviesmight be inside, but that means
you have to travel to a theater,which technically is outside.
So, no thank you.

Cozy Snap (04:19):
Movies at home?

Yeah, I'm willing to watch movies at home.

Cozy Snap (04:23):
That's the homework.
There you go.
Inception.
Well, beyond the point, I listedfive movies that are a bit of
mind, psychological thrillers,and I was just trying to fish
for something that you've seen,but Severs, my guy, is, is one
of the, the best one of the bestshows I've seen.
It's really good.
So that's your, and it's evenbetter that you haven't seen
those movies, cause you're gonnahave to know, you know what I
can say, you've seen the Trumanshow, correct?

(04:44):
Yeah, yeah, but you

made me watch the truman

Cozy Snap (04:46):
show remember yes, I forgot.
I made you watch that Okay, i'mglad you loved it.
You you will like severance.
It's it's in the world of thatin a sense there's a little bit
of What do you what do you Ican't spoil anything just go and
check it out.
That's my that's your homeworktoday, okay?

I know I'm like a little behind on like the
pop culture stuff, but my wifethis was like maybe a couple of
years ago.
She's like, I heard that peoplelike Breaking Bad.
I remember seeing on Reddit thatlike it was like the top rated
like show of all time on Redditor something.
I was like, all right, we'llgive it a shot.
I'm like, damn, this is awesome.
We actually watched the wholething.
It took us like two years tofinish it.
That was great.
And it was one other one wewatched that I think is flying

(05:21):
under the radar.
Seriously, Cozy, you're givingme homework.
I'm giving you homework.
There's a series on Netflixcalled Dark.
Yeah.
Oh, it's so good.
Dark is under the radar.

Cozy Snap (05:31):
Dark is definitely.
Okay.
If you like dark bro, you'regoing to like this.
It's, it's, it's, it's not thesame thing, but it's in the same
camp as dark per se, but yes.
Oh my gosh.
What a, what a very underrated.
That is an underrated series,for sure.

It's incredibly underrated.
If you're listening right nowand you're like, I don't know
what Dark is, you need to watchit.
And don't let the fact that it'slike, dubbed or subtitled steer
you away from it.
It is ingenious.
It is, the writing isincredible.
It's, it's an absolute mustwatch show.
Bro,

Cozy Snap (05:58):
then go watch Severance.
Cause you're selling yourself onSeverance as if you've seen it.
It's, it's right up the, rightup the alley.
And yet, wow, Dark is such a, Iwas looking at the, we are, we
are away from staff for themoment, but I was looking at the
best.
TV seasons of all time of anyshow.
Okay, and someone had dark ontheir true detective season one
for many reasons Yep.
Okay fargo season two.

(06:19):
You haven't seen fargo.
I I already know no trust when Isaid it.
I knew it, you know oh, whatabout firefly?

Never even heard of it.

Cozy Snap (06:27):
Guys this week in marvel snap.
We got some good stuff comingup.
We have our new card star brandYou guys know what we're talking
about over here.
Okay, alex We got some funconversation day to mine cars
cars I haven't even looked at Iwill be looking at these for the
first time With you my friendand having to pick up the spot.
So i'm excited for this and aspecial Two part snapchat mail
bag and we're gonna be pickingseason pass winners alex What

(06:49):
are we talking about on yourside of the snapchat?

Cozy on my side of the snapjack, we're
going to be discussing bothAgamotto and Esan, giving our
reviews, our thoughts, and theoverall win rates on those
cards, letting you know whetheror not they're worth having in
your collection.
We're also going to bediscussing the hot and rising
cards of Marvel Snap, the onesthat are currently shaking up
the meta the most, and then parttwo of our mega mailbag.

Cozy Snap (07:09):
Well, Alex Kocha.
We have Starbrand, a card thatme and you have been excited
about for a while now, and he'sfinally here, the discount DC
Red Hulk, as we've liked to callhim, didn't get any comments
against that, by the way, wetypically poke fun of a hero, we
get like The 19 biggest starbrand fans that have ever
crossed existence, but thistime, not so much three costs.

(07:31):
A historic 10 power gladiatorwho ongoing your opponents have
plus three power at each otherlocation.
So the other two locations thatstar brand is not on.
Alex, what are we thinking abouthim?

I really like this card.
This has been my, the card I'vebeen most looking forward to
this month.
Despite the fact that I dobelieve it's likely to have
obviously less of a meta impactthan like Agamotto or Esan for
instance, but the Sauronarchetype has needed something
so And I think that one, I'vementioned it a hundred times on
the Snapchat, but I feel likeone of the design goals of Glenn

(08:08):
and the balance team is to makemore archetypes generally
playable to keep the metafeeling more fresh.
And the Sauron archetype hasbeen utterly unplayable for the
longest time.
And so this is a massive powerinjection to that archetype that
I am super, super excited for.
So for that reason, I loveStarbrand, even though I do have
some reservations about themoverall, though, I'm very

(08:30):
excited.

Cozy Snap (08:30):
Bro, I actually think.
That this card is going to begreat with Agamotto, because if
you think about it, Shuri'sSoran, I think Agamotto being
5'10 is cool.
But being able to make thecopies of a 3 10, it sets it up
perfectly as a four cost.
Like, you know how that's fourpower, this is three power.
So, like, you're able to just,like, slam this into a lane, use
that, and then you're just notgoing to lose that lane.

(08:52):
I mean, that's for damn sure atthat point.
I don't know.
I thought it curved kind ofwell.
That's not a huge synergy, but Idid think that Agamotto, because
of his flexibility, could workin those decks anyway, which I
thought was interesting.

Yeah, I can kind of do anything and yeah, so
the mirrors of econ or whateverit's called I think it's cool
too because it also willguarantee you've left a space
open Where you could follow upwith an enchantress or something
like that and you can nullifythe effect but yeah, like I
think that star brands gonna beawesome.
We haven't given star ratingsyet I'm gonna give a pretty
confident for because Although Ithink that he might be excellent

(09:27):
in the Sauron archetype.
He's, I think he's going to beuseless at it everywhere else.
There's a chance we site mightsee some cooking.
Like I have on my notes here, ifI'm going to make a pitch for
Silver Surfer later, cause whywouldn't I, but it's, I think
it's a largely a lot of hopiumbeing huffed.
But realistically I do thinkthat you know.
It's very niche.
And so it all rides on whetheror not it carries sour on, you

(09:50):
know what I mean?
So it gives me a little bit of apullback, but I'm pretty
confident with a four starrating.
Is it Sauron or Sauron?
Which one is the Lord of theRings guy?
I think, isn't Sauron Lord ofthe Rings?
But now, dude, you were justtalking about, like, fandom and
people getting into thecomments.
Now we're, now we're right upthe creek.
I have no idea.
I believe Sauron is the guy ofSauron.

Cozy Snap (10:11):
I

love the late recordings.
I love

Cozy Snap (10:13):
the late recordings of the snapchat, guys.
This is what you're getting.
This is the quality right nowthat you're getting over here.
The Lord of the Rings guy.
Yeah, hell of a snap.
I'm telling you, they could justmake Marvel snap into like
Different IPs and they would allsell all of them.
Lord of the Rings, Snap,Nintendo, Snap, you name it.
Dude, I constantly forget thatthis guy's a 3 4 by the way now
and I would agree with your 4star by the way.
I think that's where he's gonnaland.

(10:35):
I forget this guy's a 3 4though.
Like they've buffed him up overtime.
Like he was kind of horrible fora while and they continued to
make him a bit better.
Then he was like the best andthey had to tame him.
So we've got him at a 3 4 now,which is fantastic for the card.
I genuinely think that thearchetype is, is that little bit
of change is going to reallyhelp.
It's going to feel like Surtur,which is obviously another card

(10:56):
that this synergizes with.
In the sense of like that bigbass power and having, you know,
the combination of the newlizard, having the combination
of now this into typhoid,there's so much you can do with
the big red skull finish andthen flex it out with a couple
other options.
I think it's pretty legit, man.

The only challenging thing, and I was
thinking about this, is thatSauron and Starbrand occupy the
same slot.
Right?
So Starbrand's a 3, Sauron's a3.
If Sauron was a 2 cost, thenthis issue doesn't exist.
You have to play them on curvierconflict.
Imagine being able to play 3,Typhoid 4, Red Skull 5.
Like, that's crazy, right?
So, we're in a position nowwhere you have Starbrand and you

(11:38):
have Sauron together.
Sauron has to come first,because it'll remove the effect
from the cards in hand,including Starbrand.
But if Starbrand's out first,Sauron will not affect the cards
in the field of play, only theEnchantress will.
So therefore, you always have toplay Sauron first.
If you have Typhoid and RedSkull, they come 4 5.
When do you play Starbrand?

(11:59):
You could play Starbrand on turn4 alongside Anemone Maw, but
what I think is likely to happenis that Starbrand's gonna occupy
the turn 6.
Where you used to have 100

Cozy Snap (12:10):
percent

yeah, you used to kind of be that combo play
with taskmaster But that playsbroken and so now you probably
do star brand plus something

Cozy Snap (12:17):
I think there's a lot of ways to play him.
I mean you could go zero intohim So you just have that as a
pure cut play line, which isgonna work out You got the 13
power play, but yeah to yourpoint as well I mean dude, you
got a 23 point play on turn sixif you happen to have Ebony
lizard and star brand That'sawesome.
That's so cool, man.
That's crazy 23 on a spread isThat you can pick where it goes

(12:40):
is obviously nothing to laugh atYou have the enchantress play
that you can do and you can setthat up in advance You know,
we'll see there was a time andplace that enchantress was
making the deck So, you know,will that kind of make its way
in?
I do 100 agree.
You do have like the sauron andwhat do you what do you do with
that?
But I like the idea of also, youknow, maybe you draw him, you
play sore on down, then you playzero on that turn as well.

(13:03):
And then you go into red schoolon five, you know, you just
played the zero, then you go tored school or whatever.
There's, there's a couple ofthings that you could pull off
depending on what you draw andwhen you do it ultimately, is it
going to be, you know, enough ofa hurdle to come across?
Is it gonna be too tough?
We're gonna have to see.
One thing I like about himthough, that if you do play them
and you give that power over theplus three to each location.

(13:26):
He in theory makes tech cardsway better, right?
So like if you're gonna play anenchantress if you're gonna play
a shang chi you're essentiallygonna give Probably give
priority or at least help givepriority and then you can then
use you got like a ghost effectin here Right, like you could
then use shang chi there.
I think that's kind ofinteresting It's interesting,

and I, I thought about that.
I was like, I was like, am Icoping?
Like, thinking about, like, youknow, throwing initiative using
Starbrand's effect, right?
Because you're giving up a lotof power, especially since it's
pure power, right?
And it's basically like areverse Omega Red.
But If you're, if you're in yourhand and I had this thought,
okay, talking about going backto what turn six might look
like, what if the deck, and thisis kind of like a little sneak

(14:07):
peek into my design for, forTuesday, is like, what if you
have Zabu in that deck and Zabuallows you to discount both
cards, like cards likeEnchantress and Typhoid Mary,
which can be played at threecosts with Starbrand.
So, in theory, Starbrand can beout in the field of play, and
you could be holding a 3 costedTyphoid that got hit with
Sauron, and you could be playingthe Enchantress on top of the

(14:28):
Starbrand.
And, or, you could even haveShaan Chi, which also would be
discounted to 3.
So, I'm trying to think about,like, how that deck looks like,
because I, I, I'm leaningtowards not including Shuri,
because I think part of theShuri excitement was the fact
that you can Taskmaster theShuried card.
And so like, I've been playingwith this idea of like, what if
you can Zabu, and then you areable to, as you said, throw

(14:49):
initiative with Starbrand, andthen now your Shawn Chi and your
Chantress have a way more,better chance of actually
hitting something chonky.

Cozy Snap (14:56):
Well first, I want to say, we've been, we've been spot
on with buffs and nerfs in theSnapchat for a while now, and
I'm just going to put this outinto the ether.
Take taskmaster bass back to afive.
I need to see that in the nextOTA, please and thank you Please
return taskmaster to its formerglory, but to your zombie point.
Yes funny enough We couldn'tplay him last like whenever this

(15:19):
deck was hot Kellyanne say spicySure, you wanted to get down and
zombie was at its all timepremium It was an ongoing card
at the at the time.
You literally could not playzombie was sore on back then So
now you're you know gonna beable to do so Kind of cool kind
of cool.
I like the idea of that.
Yeah, I think sure he could endup not making the cut But also

(15:41):
don't want to sleep on I thinkit's another option that can
just work into those decks, youknow There's so many cars that
have come out meant a hundredcards have come out since Shuri
Soran was at its meta time,right?
So like how could all of theseplay a factor into it?
That's what I'm excited to see Ialso think it's cool that these
you know, if you end up playinglike Agamotto The spell cards
are just gonna work really wellin this deck Like it gives you

(16:04):
things to do while you need towait while you need to get the
sore on it you whatever right?
And I think that's it'ssomething that is definitely
cool.
It has some potential But thoseare the main right?
Those are the main things welike about star brand.
Those are the things that jumpedout Certainly sir, turd, you
know, could he just go in thereas a stock card and you don't
really try to get rid of it Asmuch, you know potentially would

(16:25):
love to see zero come backthough and so on for sure

I don't think you're crazy to mention
Agamotto, by the way, because ifyou think about Agamotto if you
Temporal Manipulation him out,he's a 13 power in your deck,
he's a turn 5 play.
If you Shuri, that's 26 power,and that's without Sauron, and
not having to worry about theRed Skull Synergy, because you
are still depending on multiplecards.
Being played, right?
However, that's not irrelevant,right?
So maybe the shuri style deck ofthis would incorporate something

(16:51):
like an agamotto because it'ssimply super strong You don't
have to worry about the theeffect downside of something
like a red skull if you've notmuted it

Cozy Snap (16:59):
I mean you put the you put the you get sore on out
there, you know, and then on forsure into agamotto That's 20
what about 24 in a lane and thenyou have your star brand lizard,
you know, whatever player zerored skull play To slam down last
turn.
I think it's not, it'sdefinitely not bad, man.
And at least they're gettingbuffed up was by no accident.

(17:20):
So I think it's cool to see whatthese can pull off.
Any other, any other synergyhere?

Yeah, I want to say, first of all, the lizard
buff is significant because theydidn't just like reduce the
amount of negative power itreceived.
They they literally buffed thecard straight up, which makes it
better in Sauron and which Ithink is relevant because it
makes me wonder if in theirtesting, the deck was
underperforming and they felt ifthey buff lizard, they give a
little more so I, I do think thelizard was very like intentional

(17:47):
and not changing the downside,but rather changing the upside
for the Sauron combination.
I think it's also worth notingthat at 10 power, this does take
the cake at the three costs slotfor power.
Like you, you had a prior, youhad something like a gladiator,
which was a three, eight.
Now you have a three, 10,obviously you have to mitigate
the downside a lot of surferdecks, right?
I was thinking about surfer.
You do have surfer decks thatare running the likes of.

(18:10):
You know, Gwenpool, you haveobviously Galacta in those
decks.
And I'm wondering if you canrun, you cut like a Gwenpool
when you go something like anEnchantress, if that's working,
worth it.
Not only do you get a little bitof tech, but you also turn off
the star brand.
But if you actually think aboutwhat that looks like, if let's
say you play a Sauron turn five,imagine if you actually have
Sauron in that deck too.
So now you have a Sauron as athree, right?

(18:31):
You have star brand as a three.
So those are two Surfer cardsright off the bat, and then what
you can do is if you play Sarah,Oh, wait, no, you can't play
Sarah because she's gonna getmuted by the the Sauron.
I'm trying to cook off the topof my head here, so no, it can't
be a Sarah deck.
Because I was just thinking, ifyou were able to play, like,
think about it, if you were toplay Starbrand Gladiator and
Surfer together, like, that is adisgusting turn six, but you

(18:52):
can't play Sauron.
The galactic though, some ofthe,

Cozy Snap (18:56):
the, you know, the, the new breed surfers can work.
It, it, it's, Hey, listen, whenGladiator came out, where did he
go?
You know, gladiator went rightinto surfer, so I, yeah, it's
true.
I, you know, I think it couldjust want that pure power
anyway.
Like, oh, boo hoo, you givethose other lanes.
You know, plus three, but if itbroods in one of those, okay.

(19:18):
You know, you know, you're goingto win that lane anyway.
So this could just be a greatcard to have in that, you know,
just for that.
I mean, dude, you, you could getthis up to 13, 16, whatever.
I've been a lot, 12, 14, you geta lot of power on this guy
pretty quickly, depending onwhat you want to pull off with
him.
I think he's going to fit inmore decks than people might
think.
And at least be he's a 310.

(19:38):
Let's just let's just get rightto it You know gladiator was a 3
8 3 7 at the time people wereYou know ho hum and now you
know, he had a he had a goodrain on him, right?
He he lasted a while in hisdominance, but star brand,
definitely a card that if, youknow, I would say I'm hesitant
to say, go get them.
But if, if he ends up performingwell and you like simple decks,
you like the doom 2099, this isgoing to be a simple, good deck.

(20:02):
And you know, I, I like thembetter than I like coal, but
that was backward captainAmerica Falcon was not here.
But like he's more versatilethan Cole is in my head.
He's just a good guy.
He's cool.

That's absolutely fair And I do think
you have to wait till the end ofthe week before investing in
this card Because you reallywant to see how that saron deck
shapes up Because if that deckisn't good enough with star
brand in it star brand in and ofitself Probably is not enough to
shake it up and they can't i'mSuspecting that they wouldn't be
able to make this a 311 or 312And so they would probably go
back to the drawing board withfuture cards and say, okay How

(20:34):
do we give another card?
To that archetype, right?
And I think it's also worthnoting before passing over it,
the Spotlight Week is Fastos andScar, and Scar is meta relevant
right now, right?

Cozy Snap (20:44):
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's not the worst, but Fastosis about to apparently get
outclassed from what I have seenwhen I put this card together.
I, you know, it's funny enough,if this doesn't do it for Soron,
we don't have a lot of cardscoming, at least in the recent
datamines that are gonna come tothat.
Which is gonna lead us into thatsubject of the new cards now
alex You did a brief videotalking about these cards.

(21:06):
You at least have seen thembefore this will be my first
time I'm excited for us to putour minds together You're
probably gonna bring a lot tothe table on what you might see
But we're gonna just kind ofrandomly shoot them in any order
and i'm gonna have alex At 11o'clock his time say the names
of these cards This is what Ilike to call the alex coach a
challenge on each and every oneof these Because I I love I love

(21:30):
watching alex do his thing,

bro.
Why are you gonna do this to me?
I don't know how to read any ofthese names

Cozy Snap (21:36):
Give me your best shot.
Hit me with your, what do yousee in here?
Esme Cuckoo.
Honestly?
Not bad.
I

It's Cuckoo, right?

Cozy Snap (21:46):
Esme Cuckoo?
I think so.
Esme, Esme, Esme Cuckoo.
It has to be Esme.
It has to be.
I just started with this one.
Oh man, I was in the sun all dayso I'm red, but you're making me
even more red over here.
Okay, we got Cuckoo over here at3 4.
On reveal, copy a card from yourdeck into your hand, set its

(22:07):
cost to three and power to four.
Copy a card from your deck intoyour hand.
How do you feel about this one?
So essentially getting the powerreduction to a three to a four.
So you know, you've, you've gotthe, the typical offenders, the,
the iron mans out there that,you know, the ones that you can
get the biggest benefit from.
There's other ones, you know,that we can sort through and get
to, what do you think of this?

(22:28):
A cuckoo over here.

I like it.
I think it's cool.
It seems like a backup play toAgent Venom.
They can even be in an AgentVenom deck, honestly, because
not only are you getting thefour power, but you are getting
the cost reduction to three.
I actually think the card ispretty cool.
The one question I have, which Imean, I guess I would ask Glenn
closer to release is when itsays set its cost to three and
four, does that include the copyand what's in your deck?

(22:51):
Cause there's a chance you stilldraw.
The card that's in your deckbecause it's not pulling it from
your deck.
It's copying it So when it saysset its cost three and four, is
that just the copy or is itwhat's in the deck as well?
That goes that's up for debate.
I suppose but I think it's agood card for sure

Cozy Snap (23:04):
I like it on a quick fire off guys, you know sage
mystique cassandra nova goreThese are all obviously very
good.
Mr Negative clearly these arecards that are gonna love it.
No task master There's plenty inhere that I think will be fine
getting hit blob, Arnim, Zola.
It's the usual suspects thatwe've seen.
To me though, I don't know.
I don't know if this is going tomake decks.

(23:26):
This to me seems like a fun cardrather than one you're going to,
I guess if it turns both cardsinto the three, four, then
potentially.

I like it.
I think it's cool.
I'd be excited to play thiscard.

Cozy Snap (23:35):
Okay.
Well the, the, the name issomething else.
I tell you what, this next one Ithink is a tremendously cool
card.
Again, the only time I reallysaw this was when I just put the
card together.
If Surge, Surge is a 2 cost, 2power card.
Great art.
On reveal, give the top card ofyour deck negative 1 cost and

(23:57):
plus 1, and plus 1 power.
After you play it, repeat thisability.
I put this together and I had togo back and look at fastos
because I was like Hold on.
Hold on.
This is a two cost and you canrepeat it and it's a guaranteed
negative one cost and plus onepower.
This oh, this is a, this cardwill make every, so many decks.

(24:18):
So, I mean, this is such a goodplug and play card.

This is an awesome card.
It's so funny when you weretalking about it, my mind
drifted for a sec as you wereintroducing it.
Wonderful.
And I was thinking about like,just as you said, I like the art
on this.
I was like, this looks like aleague of legends character.

Cozy Snap (24:32):
It does.
Okay.
We're at an arcane, right?
Is this, this, this might be thebest card we talk about today.
No,

I think it might be the best.
But what I will say is thatlike, I have a question though,
if you hit something like akitty pride, is it just free
real estate at that point?
You just keep, you know, you getthe, you get the puppet wall, I
guess.
Like, I don't know, like it'severy time you play it.
So every time kitty pride goesup and down, I guess she prox
the effect.
No, I think the design of thiscard is intended that like, if
you keep.
Playing what you've top decked,you keep getting a negative one

(25:01):
discount on a plus one power,but Kitty Pride might break the
rules.

Cozy Snap (25:04):
Kitty Pride would be insane.
Can you imagine?
I mean, you can't go lower thanzero cost, but the fact of just
getting that power and then retriggering that effect, and it's
a free card anyway.
So at that point, you're justkind of, you're going wild.
You have to be, this doesn't see

minimum one.

Cozy Snap (25:17):
Yeah, but a card can't cost negative one cost.
Well, not negative one, but itcan

be zero.
It can

Cozy Snap (25:23):
be free.
That's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
Kitty could be free.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, they're probably going toadd it now.
You totally, you know, they'regoing to add it now.
Come on.

I'm sure Glenn would have tested Kitty Pryde
with this card.
You

Cozy Snap (25:33):
do have to get lucky enough for it to hit Kitty Pryde
and not be the card that youhave to, but you could.
There's more than just kittythat's gonna end up being able
to be, you know, using abused.
I love this card.
This is such a disgustingly goodcard, man.
I think this is going to

be hit me.
The surge make Howard the duckrelevant.
Do you not care?

Cozy Snap (25:53):
Damn it.
Alex.
Yes, in the Iron Lad Surge deck,I can already see it just
absolutely cooking.
What about Wong?
Can you double play this?
Oh,

that's, that's interesting.
I mean, I mean, it's kind oflate, but let's say in theory
you Zabu into Surge Wongers as athree costed card.
And then you're just like, it'sgoing crazy.
Everything's going crazy.
Everything's getting, you justbasically have Fastos.
Why don't you just play Fastos?
Boom.

Cozy Snap (26:20):
That's because it's random.
Fastos has to get a re this islike such a better, more
guaranteed Fastos.
The reason we didn't like Fastosis because of the uncertainty of
them.
But right now, I think Surge isthe card to beat.

Bro, Fastos actually is guaranteed 100
percent of the time to discountthe spells of Agamotto.
Because they don't have power.

Cozy Snap (26:38):
Ah, look at that.
That's a, I don't think I putthat together.
Look at you.
You cook that up?
Cooking baby! I'm trying to.
Chef Alex.
Invite Gordon Ramsay anytime,bud.
How about Prodigy?
Next up, 3 cost, 4 power card,their new favorite stat line.
On reveal, if this is in theback row, we've been seeing a
lot of this back row, front rowstuff.

(27:00):
Copy the text of the card infront of it.
Hey, this is a disgusting card.

First of all, I just, I hate this card.
Like, why is he holding chalk,and if he's in a classroom, why
does he have glasses like that?
If I walked into my classroomwearing glasses You look like
that that that's your glassesbuddy.
I don't wear my pro gamer shadesat work

Cozy Snap (27:22):
What if you wanted me enough you you wear those for
protection of your eyes?
What if he's looking at screens?
You don't know what's on theother side of that camera

Oh, it's true.
If he's in the future, I don'tknow who Prodigy is, but if he's
in the future, he's just a giantscreen.
That's true, fair enough, butsomehow they're still using
chalk in this far, crazy world.
Prodigy, I think it's importantto note that he can copy the
text of anything.
It could be a obviously anongoing, it could be like a
collector, it can be anything.
So, theoretically, it'sparticularly Versatile, but it

(27:52):
has to be positioned in theback.
And then the question is wehaven't really played with this
like row stuff, right?
So it's like, will it pickdirectly what's in front of it?
Or will it pick what's on theleft?
If it's like played, if it'slike the fourth card played, is
it always going to hit slot twoor can it hit slot one?
It's always going to be

Cozy Snap (28:09):
two, right?
Yes, probably.
That's the way I read it.
I think this is a slept on card.
I don't know if people aresleeping.
I have no idea.
I think this is a great card.
This is a really good card.
Cause outside of turn six or sixcost cards, which I'm sure you
can still get, you know, with aramp and stuff, this could copy
any card in the game.
And it's a three, four, anyability in the game.
I mean, this is fantastic for alot of for a lot of cards out

(28:29):
there.
It is a bit weird.
I don't think it's going to bethat hard though, to align these
up.
You just set it up in advance.
It's like one more thing tothink about, which I think I
love the back and front rowstuff because of that.
So like, you know, you play theiron man.
On, on if you have to, you'dhave to play two other cards.
I guess so, but I don't know.
I think he's got a lot ofpotential.

It's just, we haven't had a chance to play
with the positioning in thatway.
So I wonder how hard the effectis to get right.
I mean, and maybe you don'tcare.
Maybe everything in your deck isworth hitting.
I don't know.
But other than that, we have tosee how that plays out for me to
get a proper assessment ofwhether or not this Cards of
trash heap or not.
You're probably right.
It's probably good.
Copying the text of a card infront of it is probably good

(29:11):
most of the time.

Cozy Snap (29:11):
Bro, and surfer is going to love it because you can
A, just surfer the surfer, youknow, be proud you're the
surfer.
You can't do brood.
So like it wouldn't work forbrood.
That's where it's interesting.
It would not work for broodbecause he would always be in
that fourth lane So there'sgonna be some unique stuff with
him, but I actually think thisguy's a cook

You're not cooking bud you iron fist brood
into another lane.
There it is

Cozy Snap (29:33):
right there.
Oh rania surfer Oh, how did Inot think of this?
But yes, I I think braji Hassome super fun deck potential
Specifically next up.
We have a 1 1 elixir An activatecard.
Well, I'm shocked at theactivate activate the next time
one of your your cards isdestroyed this turn Revive it

(29:53):
here.
Hold on activate the next timeone of your cards is destroyed
this turn revive it here This isan absolute crazy.
It remind me is DeadpoolTechnically destroyed ever or no

I'm not

Cozy Snap (30:05):
sure he is right, because it's gonna no power.
It goes to net.
It goes to Noel's power.
So isn't it?
It does, isn't it technicallydestroyed,

but the card itself's not destroyed.

Cozy Snap (30:15):
Yeah, I don't think it

is.
It doesn't enter the destroypile.
Right.
So if you're thinking you gettwo deadpools, I think that's
unlikely that.
But I don't know.
We don't know.
Like, we're in, we're in datamine territory.
I, we can't just message Glennand be like, yo, about these
data mines, can we get someclarification?
And he's like,

Cozy Snap (30:30):
yeah, but you know what, dude, I like this card a
lot because it's an, it's anactivate.
So I get it, but it's a one costactivate, which we, we, I, I,
you know, lower the cost.
You know, we've seen somethinglike a Rania and how she works
out so well.
This is cool.
I think this is because you canreally time this out to get some
kind of cheeky stuff I mean youcan even you do it do an Arnim
Zola play, right?
Like you could do somethingcrazy on turn six with this.

(30:54):
I don't know man I actuallyreally like this guy typically
not crazy about activates as oflate But this one catches my eye
and the art is sick, too

Yeah, actually the art is cool.
But the thing about activates isyou're right They're
disproportionately better oninexpensive cards.
Actually now that I say that thebest activate in the game is
bullseye right now Yeah, so it'slike Nevermind, because Aranya
and others are less expensive,but no, I think this card
definitely is awesome.
And once we get moreclarification of like the scope
of its, its mechanics, we'll,we'll understand better what's

(31:25):
going on.
But regardless, like, I'm justthinking, what else?

Cozy Snap (31:28):
I love, I love Nico.
You can get the free draw withNico.

Yeah, but really, if you think, yeah,
that's true.
Right.
You get that with Nico.
Yeah, I love it.
But like, if you, if you nullZola, that's three Zolas.
Three Nulls.
Three Nulls.
Because you would replicate thenull, it counts as destroyed, it
would come up on a That one lane

Cozy Snap (31:47):
would be, that one lane would be cooking.
I, yeah, I mean, also justplaying things into a I don't
know, a destroyed location.
Don't know why you would dothat, but like, there's things
you could do to So like let'ssay brood you play brood in
desktop main puts the two birdsthere, but then it also Revives
them to the other lane in whichwould then do it again.

Okay, because we're doing this off the top of
our heads here realistically,there's gonna be a myth.
There's so many combinations forthis card I think we're selling
a short just kind of rolling offit So hit us in the comments
guys with what you think aboutelixir

Cozy Snap (32:18):
Yeah, dude nimrod by the way.

Yeah nimrod nimrod.
Wait, wait, does nimrod count asbeing destroyed?
Absolutely.

Cozy Snap (32:25):
This is this definitely counts as destroyed
because you can whatever you canphoenix force so you can't
phoenix force a deadpool You canphoenix force a nimrod, 100%.

Can you phoenix force a nimrod?
It's so funny, I've played somany games of nimrod, phoenix
force, but I've never thought totry phoenix force.
It's been a

Cozy Snap (32:41):
while, but my Marvel snap brain would say yes.
I, I think so.
This one's cool, man.
Because,

yeah, because even if you Zola nimrod, it, it,
it does destroy that nimrod.
And then, and then replicatesit, right?
You get the extra nimrods fromit.
Okay, I mean, we're cooking,we're trying to cook with
elixir.
It's named elixir too.
Elixir is some sort of alchemy.
Ing No.
Elixirs are alchemy.
Yes,

Cozy Snap (33:04):
you are correct.
There's your sky room.
Not a

DD player.
I should be.
We should play DD one day.

Cozy Snap (33:09):
One day we'll host the next critical role.
I'd love to see.
Love to, love to hear Buddy.
What about how about you saythis name for me?
Is it just Zorn?
Zorn.
It has to be Zorn.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I can't be X horn here.
I don't X horn.
This guy, guy, dude.
These, these don't look likeMarvel characters.
These are definitely, I, I mean,they're X-Men, but they, they
don't look.
They look definitely new age.

Yeah.
This looks like they had to goto the well a little bit.
They're like, what if it wasjust a dude with a mask and just
cables across his chest?

Cozy Snap (33:39):
He doesn't even have any stole Sebastian Shaw's

jacket.

Cozy Snap (33:42):
That's some bumpy what's going on with his chest
here.
He's a two cost, three powercard.
After any 3 or 4 cost card isplayed here, move it to another
location.
Alex?

Bruh, I don't know what to make of this.
First of all, every 2, 3 they'vereleased has been broken as
hell, so part of me wants to saythat this card's gonna be
stupid.
But the other side of that islike, okay, naturally you can
play this, you can play like aVulture and it'll move.
It might be good with a Screamdeck, because you're able to
like force things into like alike a Kingpin location or
whatever.
It's basically a reverse, it'slike a reverse, I don't want to

(34:19):
say magnet, it feels, it feelslike it's repelling.
Like, you know how, like you getmagnets and you put the same
side together and they repel.
It feels like that.
I have to still wrap my mindaround whether or not Zorn is
good or not.
Like, I'm still not 100 percentsure how I would approach deck
building with this, but I thinkit's an interesting effect.

Cozy Snap (34:35):
You have Hercules PTSD.

You know, okay, Hercules, man, you
remember we were both likeHercules is gonna suck and there
were like people in the commentsbe like, no, you guys are
sleeping on Hercules.
It's gonna be insane what it'sgonna do and all this stuff and
like, you almost want to believehim.
Like you almost want to believehim.
It's been buffed so many friggintimes.
When was the last time you sawHercules?
Exactly.

Cozy Snap (34:56):
He didn't even let me respond.
Where's the last time?
Exactly.
Next up, Alex, we have KidOmega.
This is cool.
This is sick.
Right out of the cyber bunk.
2 2.
You cast 2 power.
Kid Omega.
Activate.
Destroy the next card you playthis turn to gain its power.

(35:16):
Now this will work with Deadpooland this is cracked because of
that.

Yeah, buddy.
Do you know what's crazy aboutthis card?
Star brand turn three, you eatstar brand kid.
Omega gets the power and starbrands.
Negative effect is not ineffect.

Cozy Snap (35:33):
True.
And it's just an activate thatcan be used at any time too.
And that.
I mean, I think this is such agood Deadpool card.
I mean, this has got to be thecraziest.
You get a Noel down, you getDeadpool cooking up.
He just eats all of that on turnfive.
Let's say, you know, destroyedcards, you know, how many times
can you destroy Deadpool with atwo costs that you have to use

(35:55):
on Kid Omega?
I don't care.
I think, I think this is stillgoing to have a lot of potential
to it.

Yeah, dude.
A hundred percent.
Think about like a Shuri Nimrodplay.
If it works the way I wouldexpect it to work, you play
Shuri, you Nimrod on top of theShuri, and then you activate the
Kid Omega, then, so he shouldcome down, get the Shuri buff,
and then explode, replicate, andKid Omega gets the Shuri buff
too.
You double dip on the Shuri.

Cozy Snap (36:18):
Someone's cooking.
It only takes it to be midnightfor Alex to really get the cooks
just, just zoom into the brain.
Anyway, I think this is cool.
I, I think it has a good chance.
Activates past two, get menervous.
I think this is.
Should have its place in acouple of decks that are
interesting enough.
Any other synergies immediatethat you see with this guy?
Sabertooth?

Yeah, I was just gonna say, Sabertooth is
big too.
Imagine if you were toSabertooth on top of him and
then do the So cool.
Okay, watch this.
Kid Omega 2, Sabertoothactivated on turn 3.
Double the Sabertooth with MoonGirl turn 4.
Maybe even have deaths in hand.
Right?
Now you're really cooking.
You have multiple deaths,multiple Sabertooths.
Keep blowing stuff up.
Boom.
W.
Easy.

Cozy Snap (36:55):
Boom w next thank you next next up.
We have helion guys and helionis a 5 8 5 8 and on reveal next
turn you can move cards to thislocation It's it's a it's
another move card anotheranother move card.
Will it be enough?
How many times will we say thatnext time you can move it?

(37:17):
So on turn six Man, Heimdall, Ijust feel for him a little bit,
you know, you can, you can dosome cool stuff with Heimdall
though with this thing.
Yeah,

you can move, you can zig and zag.
Zig and zag.
It's also worth noting that thiscard only affects your cards.
So it's like New York for you.
It's not like Cloak, where Cloakallows both players to move.
This is just you.
Which I think is actuallyimportant.
I know you love head games.
It's the head game card.
Imagine only you could play NewYork.
And your opponent's like, Bruh,what do I do?

(37:49):
What's he gonna do?
What is he gonna do?
It's basically like Move Legion.

Cozy Snap (37:53):
Yeah, actually this is a this is a this could be a
top tier card then I like that alot Yeah, the head games with it
100 like it's great to movefantastic But I think this is
just a good card that yeah, youcan just do whatever you want
with it head game it up You caneven sacrifice this guy Here's
the play you sacrifice him intolike death's domain that other
guy eats him up gets his powerThen you can move the cards over
to death's domain gg easy

See, CozySnap, he's not just going for the
victory.
That's not what he's after.
He wants to, he wants theemotional damage.

Cozy Snap (38:22):
Mercury, 2 2! Mercury is a 2 2.
You can move this once.
Ongoing enemy cards here cannotmove.
It's a little anti tech.
This is our answer to Helionalready.
Already, he's getting his, hiscounter play.
That right there shows you howgood Helion's gonna be.
Whenever in the same thing, theyhave, you know, it ready to go

(38:43):
by there, by the way, scream isgoing to keep healing on and
check, you know to, to someextent mercury though, enemy
cards here.
Can't move.
That's our first time.
We're finally getting somethingwhere we've got a Colossus
effect, but towards theopponent's cards.

Yeah, so you play it on top of the Madame Web
and it gets shut down.
And like, part of me doesn'tlove these, like, extremely
aggressive counterpieces.
Like, oh, if Move gets popular,play Mercury, right?
And it's like, well, it's notjust that.
Because there is a really coreoffensive thing you can do with
this card.
And Cozy, he just got buffedfrom a 5.
Okay, he was a 5 8.

(39:18):
Everyone slept on him.
He went down to 5 7.
He got 8.
He's been played lots.
If you play Mercury, and thenyou play this particular card on
top of the Mercury location,they can't move out, so the
cards go boom! Cozy! Who is it?
It's Cannonball! You're right,Cozy! Good job, dude! Ahhhh,

Cozy Snap (39:38):
okay, alright, a little pre setup for Cannonball.
I like it, I dig it.
Oh yeah, because they can't moveout, so Cannonball has to
destroy them.
He just blows them to kingdomcome, and already a good,
already a damn good card, man.
Look at you, this is you, man.
Did you, do you cook that up inthe video?
Did you see that one in thevideo?
I feel like you thought of thatone.
Is that fresh?

(39:58):
Yeah,

it was, no, it was, it wasn't fresh.
It's good though.
I was, that was, I came inloaded.
I was ready.

Cozy Snap (40:04):
These are so much more simple cards than infinity
old Tron and the whole one Fseason.
That I think that this is theseason after that.
These seem a bit more chill andthere's too many cards here So
some of these are gonna be freeand dude zoran's gonna be free
100 And I think zoran

might actually be good.
We're just we weren't preparedfor this

Cozy Snap (40:21):
conversation

Mercury, okay talking about something just
cooked right not preparedDefinitely.
Oh, no, it just slipped my mind.
Okay terminator 2 dude with thewith the sword arms Okay, who's
the dude with the sword arms?
It's a t.
What's this?
Yeah, I think that's it yeah Isit T 1000?
That is literally T 1000's wife.

Cozy Snap (40:43):
Ooh.
She's What's going on with herlower half?

Why are you asking me questions I can't
answer?

Cozy Snap (40:50):
Zorn though, quickly on Zorn, looking at him.
Vulture?
I don't, I don't know bro.
Move.
Move.
Every time we look at move, I'mlike, this is going to break the
game.
And then it comes out and I'mlike, oh yeah, move is still
move.
Unless it's tiny movers.

I just don't want to play it.
Yeah.
I said that.
I was like, man, people justdon't care.
Like, move could be the best.
It was.
There was, at the highestechelons of MMR, like, Frigga
move, Little Movers, was thebest.
And no one gave a crap.
Like, no one played it.
It could have a 65 percent winrate, it'll have a 3 percent
play rate.
Because only the sweats willactually care.

Cozy Snap (41:25):
What card out of all the ones we just said are you
most interested in?

Surge, probably.
Surge, I would say, is the oneI'm most interested in getting
my hands on.
Esme Kaku?
I said it wrong on purpose.
But, no I didn't.
I actually forgot what it wascalled for a second.
It's cuckoo like a clock, right?
Cuckoo, cuckoo.

Cozy Snap (41:44):
Like a, what was that?
Like a Clock?
I said clock.
I heard you said ball sack a lotthis week.

Dude, too much, too much.
I, yeah, I, there's a couple ofpeople who are begging me,
begging me.
They're like, Alex, we know youlove your, your pet names, but
we got to chill on this one.
I can't handle this.
We ruined the card, man.
We actually ruined the card.

Cozy Snap (42:09):
Everyone's calling a ball sack.
We're mailbag.
We asked you guys to submitquestions and we were going to
pick some, we're going to giveaway some season passes too.
Shout out to a few of you guysthat don't have the names on
hand, but that donated to thechannel, man.
Awesome stuff.
This, the, you know, money wasgonna come out of a cozy pocket
over here, and I appreciate youguys sponsoring these, actually,

(42:29):
a little bit.
Whenever we do the Snapchatmailbag over here, we're doing a
two parter here and Alex's, andwe got some fun questions.
I'm excited for it, andespecially I'm excited because
of how Alex is feeling rightnow.
I just feel like he's feelingloosey goosey.
And so we might get some, somefun, fun questions here.
So Alex, this is for both of usto kick us off with the the

(42:50):
mailbag.
There's snap questions.
There's not snap questions.
We decided to start with a nonsnap one.
We all have that one cringemoment in our lives.
It gives us PTSD.
Every time we think back to it,what is it for you guys?
This comes from a little Uber.

You're going to put me right on the spot
right, right first.
I got to think like a cringemoment that like, I always think
back on.

Cozy Snap (43:10):
I did not look at these ahead of time.
I just should have copied andpasted all the questions that I
saw there.
And I do have

one that comes to mind.
Okay.
This happens every once in awhile.
And I gotta be honest with you.
This happens, it's a very easymistake to make.
Every once in a while on mysmart board, I work, I will
inadvertently draw somethingthat looks extremely phallic and
it's not intentional.
Like I was doing, I was doinglike a lesson about like digital
audio.
And I was trying to show thecase, the example of like what a

(43:36):
sine wave is versus like adigital, like audio file.
Right.
So I drew a sine wave and if youthink about it, you start like
this, you do this.
And then I was talking about howlike, you know, mp3s will sample
it.
So I did like the lines at thetop and the kids are like, you
know what I mean?
I'm like, what?
I'm like, what's so funny?
I look at the board is thisgiant, like wang on the board.

(43:58):
So yeah, that happens aboutlike, you know, Oh, I was
teaching something.
And we're like, we're, I drew acannon on the board and you can
imagine what a cannon lookslike.
I had the wheel drawn andeverything.
Why

Cozy Snap (44:09):
are you drawing cannons, Alex?
Damn it.
I don't remember how it evencame up.

Whatever.
That's, that's my shame,

Cozy Snap (44:15):
cringe moment.
I think back on, I, it's hardfor me to be embarrassed.
I don't really know.
I think one that most peoplewould be, I just laughed it off
my, you know, I don't know.
Back in like high school, didyou, did you ever like get pants
or people pants?
You or you pants on people?
Oh my

God, dude, my buddy had the best move for
Pantsing people, bro.
Okay.

Cozy Snap (44:34):
You got Pantsed?
I got P.
Oh dude.
'cause like, yeah, I meaneveryone, you know, it was like
the thing to do and I wastalking to some.
Group of, of ladies and a buddyof mine pants me, but he, dude,
he double, he double pulled andI, bro, I don't even like my
junior year, bro.
I just laughed it off.

(44:54):
I was like, that's epic.
Like I look again, I look likeI'm turning red.
That was the most like, Iremember driving home that day
and I was like, I just, I justdid that.
That just happened.
And yeah, you know, it, it, ithappens that one.
And I think the only other oneis like early in my.
Content creator career, Ipressed start streaming instead
of start recording.

(45:14):
And I was like trying to do avideo way back when, and I did
like a 30 minute tag video, butit was just me streaming the
whole thing.
It was great.

That's actually hilarious.
I actually really liked that alot.
Yeah.
You didn't even ask for what themove was.
So my, my buddy, what he woulddo is like, he would go and he'd
be like, Hey, can you hold mybooks for me?
And he would hand you the books.
So you're physically holding thebooks.
And then he would pants you assoon as you had your, so like
the holding the books preventedyou from defending yourself.
It was perfect because no one'sever going to say no.

(45:43):
If you're like, Hey, you owe mybooks for a sec.
You're just going to acceptthem.
And then now your hands are fullwhile he pantses you.
See that happened in football.
He was the guy that was

Cozy Snap (45:50):
carrying the footballs every time.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That was the, yeah, exactly.
What about like

tearaways?
Do you ever have people run byand rip your tearaways off?

Cozy Snap (45:56):
No, no.
That's

why everyone had to wear shorts under their
tearaways.

Cozy Snap (46:01):
Oh, tear, tear, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what
you're, you're sweats, like,for, like, basketball and stuff,
yeah, yeah, yeah, I only worethose not

sweats, they had the buttons on the side, you
don't know what tearaways are?

Cozy Snap (46:10):
Yeah, but, but they're sweatpants, but, like,
but, with buttons, essentially,or windpants.
Obviously, I don't see

them as sweatpants, they're just pants.

Cozy Snap (46:17):
They're just pants?

Like, they're just what I wear, baby, I still
have tearaways.

Cozy Snap (46:20):
Pants are, like, not jeans, but, like, that fabric.
Like, like all you wear.
Yeah, pants aren't like madefrom soft material.

What?
They're pants.
Like, anything that covers yourleg from your waist to your foot
is pants.
I don't think, I think Like,there's shorts

Cozy Snap (46:38):
and there's pants and there's nothing else.
Moving on to our next question,Alex.
We Cozy and Alex, in previouspodcasts, you've talked about
different creators that you likein other games.
Cozy, you've talked about Bodhifor RuneScape, Seagull for
Overwatch.
Are there any games that youguys don't cover that you still
follow or creators that youstill follow?
That's a fun question.

(46:58):
You start, I guess, if you wantto.

So I watch a lot of tech stuff.
Like I watch gamers Nexus, lionsMedia Group.
I watch a lot of stuff in thetech field.
I'm a tech teacher.
I love tech.
A long time ago I even had atech educational channel,
YouTube channel.
I dunno if you knew this.
Knew actually, I think I showedyou my first ever knew this
picture of me testing YouTubewith me trying to do a a thing
for you Looked very handsome fortech.

(47:21):
Yeah, I looked, I looked like.
Half the age I am now, but theone that I follow stream wise, I
love day nine.
I always have loved a nine.
Yeah.
He's kind of like the role modelfor me.
Like I look at day nine and forme, it's like, I hope to be day
nine one day, like that kind ofstreamer, you know what I mean?
And I actually got a chance torate him a little while back,
which is fun.
Cause like, you know, I, Ihadn't had the opportunity to,

(47:43):
and it was just cool because I'ma fan, he was like, you know, as
a fellow rate, like.
Streamer rating was cool.
I still watch a lot of grubby.
I like grubby, too I used towatch him in the warcraft three
days and now he's doing a lot ofwar world of warcraft He
actually played dota as well.
So I For me on twitch.
I definitely love grubby in daynine.
They're my two guys

Cozy Snap (48:02):
It's tough for me to pay.
I feel like I used to watch alot when I was like really
Trying to find my own style andjust trying to understand
content more digesting thingsgetting ideas things like that I
definitely like these days.
I don't watch any like I'msurprised that, like, when I
started Snap, like, I didn'twatch any Snap content, right?
Like, other than, you know, AlexGouge's stuff.

(48:23):
But you know, and rivals, let'ssay I don't look at rival, it's
just, I don't like I, because ifI'm doing that, I'm not doing my
job or it like I need to be, Ican't watch it without thinking
of stuff I should do.
But prior to being a contentcreator and leading into it, my
first couple of years I was abig LUT bud.
I watched a lot of Ludwig.
Ludwig was like my, my releaseman of just laughing and having

(48:44):
a good time.
And you know, you know thestory.
I'm not going to tell the wholestory again, but I entered a
competition of his.
For the next content biggestcontent creator or whatever and
that was the first time I reallygave it my all to do You know
variety stuff ended up doingwell in there and and and
getting to know him and peoplearound him And that was such a
full circle moment watching thisguy all the time watching when I

(49:05):
drove whatever Not watchingwhile I drove that sounds bad.
I was listening Listening whileI drove like you guys are right
now in the podcast, but and thento, to not only meet him, but,
you know get advice and, and,and plenty of other great
stories with the guy that wascool for me.
And so Ludwig, I'll check in onhim, just see what he's doing.
I think he shaved his head.
I think he has a nut.
But, but

And we bumped into him in San Diego too,
right?

Cozy Snap (49:28):
Oh dude, that's right! We bumped into him!

I was too nervous to say hi, but yeah, it
was cool.
It was cool, yeah, yeah,

Cozy Snap (49:34):
well, and That was like the first time I've seen
him in like a year, and I willsay this about Ludwig, I mean he
was like, he was like cozy man,you live here, right?
What's up?

sure he meets a lot of people, Imeet a lot of people, so I'm

Ludwig for that answer, that's,that's definitely a fun one,
these questions are great by theway, guys, thanks for shooting
these in,

not have dessert.
I'll get my chicken nuggies, butI draw the line.

Aristotle.
Okay.
Galileo.
So we have like,

Cozy Snap (57:07):
well, you don't know what you'd ask them.
You'd, you don't even know whatlike food is.
How are you, what are you gonnaask them?

I would want to tell them.
I would want to tell Galileo.
About how right he was aboutcertain things.
Why?
Who cares?
Copernicus was another.
Copernicus was, like, treated sopoorly for being right.
Like, the history of these greatminds.
Okay.
Like, I want to look Copernicusin the eyes and be like, Like,
you suffered injustly.
Like, you were correct.

(57:32):
The Earth is not the center ofthe solar system.
Yep, yep, yep.
And, okay, so other than thatand I guess the other person I
would like to, to sit with.
You know what?
I wouldn't mind, if we want toget like more common ground, I
would not mind having dinnerwith PewDiePie.
Oh, okay.
Because like, I think he's likeone of the coolest guys on the
planet.
He's one of the few careerYouTubers that looks like he's

(57:55):
living his best life and is justlike, just a great dude.
I'd love to sit down with Pewds.

Cozy Snap (57:59):
That's a good answer.
I like that one for sure.
I'm gonna go Harambe.
You said my answers were stupid.
Stupid?
Watch your tongue, man.
Harambe's a legend.
Harambe for sure.
If not him, I'm going to go forlike a I'm going to go for a I'm
trying to keep myself together.
I'm going to go

for a, just a funny dinner.
Ryan Dude, I said I wanted tohave a conversation with Galileo
Copernicus and Aristotle and youliterally say I'll take the
silverback gorilla.
Like, what kind of stupidity isthis?

Cozy Snap (58:32):
I'm going with Ryan Reynolds.
Ryan Reynolds, Harambe.
Robin Williams.

Oh, goaded.
Robert

Cozy Snap (58:38):
Williams and then no, I'm sticking with Harambe.
Those are my three.
So I think that would just be anentertaining, really
entertaining meal at the least,dude.
I'm, oh my

gosh, I'd hate to be the server having to clean
up after the gorilla trashes theentire restaurant and then has
to get tranquilized

Cozy Snap (58:53):
again.
Goaded episode.
All right.
Okay.
Thank you for the question.

Okay, this is a good snap one.
This is a really bad game.

(59:58):
Oh, I can barely do it.
What is your take on increasingrelevance of temporary modes?
Do you like the game modes?
This comes from Craft or Not.
Are they the best avenue forpossible new card releases?
Pretty much just our, our takeon them.
It's a long question.
I'll keep it at that.

Alexander Coccia (01:00:12):
Yeah, Buzzkill and the Buzzkill and the fives
with the real questions.

Cozy Snap (01:00:16):
Okay.
Screw it.
We're not doing it.
Okay, hold on.
Whew.
Oh, I didn't mean to cancel thequestion.
Nope, nope.
You can thank Alex for that one.
If you had an unlimited budget,says Tade.
Man, these names.
Tad, Tade, I can't even say therest of your name.
I know,

I feel every

Cozy Snap (01:00:32):
week.
Yeah, forget that.
If you had unlimited budget, howwould you How would your perfect
vacation look like?
Where are you going?
What are you bringing?
And what are you doing?

Buddy, easy.
I'm going to San Diego.
I'm going to the Seal location.

No, you can't take Harambe! Iwas

Cozy Snap (01:00:51):
already taking him, and I'm taking him to your
house, so don't, yeah.
I'm I'm gonna ruin that house.
So basically

we have the same plan.
Bring Harambe to each other'shomes.

Cozy Snap (01:01:00):
Yes, that on the real note, mine would be Japan.
I wanna go to Japan.
I

really, okay, when I got married, we went on a
cruise and I was in the Bahamasand it was the only time I was
in the Bahamas and I'll tellyou, we, we didn't have a lot of
money.
So we went to a public beach.
This was like, it was like atthe time, like we had saved up a
lot of money for our honeymoonand they, the people were, they
were so beautiful.
We're so nice to us.
The beach, the beach wasgorgeous in a way I got to tell

(01:01:26):
you, if I had unlimited moneyfor vacation, I'd go to Bahamas
again.
Just because I think it was, I,I had a snorkel set.
I remember just floating on thetop of the water and there were
just like fish everywhere, fisheverywhere.
I felt like I was in the middleof an aquarium.
I loved it.
I would go back in a second.

Cozy Snap (01:01:41):
I feel like if you lived in the States, you'd, you
would live in Florida.
Like, you're just like a Floridaman to me.
Chicken nuggies.
I'm a Florida man?
Yeah.
Like, do they just eat chickennuggies?
No, like a, like a coupon for atwo for one gets you like super
excited kind of thing.

Yeah, yeah, for sure.
I, I get like, I use subwaycoupon, like my, in my work bag,
I have a whole bunch of couponsfor when my wife doesn't make my
lunch for me.
And then that's embarrassing,but my wife still makes my lunch
for me.
Cause if I don't, it's, if shedoesn't make my lunch, she knows
I'm just going to go and buy itevery day.
So it's like a cost savingmeasure where she makes my lunch
so I don't go buy it every day.
But if the event that she doesnot make my lunch and obviously

(01:02:15):
I don't, cause I'm a clown, Ihave my, my bag and my work is
stuffed with like all these,like, no, and then the mail, you
get like weekly coupons forlife.
Sure.

Cozy Snap (01:02:23):
Yeah.
I don't look through them, but a

ton of them for like,

Cozy Snap (01:02:25):
yeah, for sure.
Okay.
So two last fast questions.
Ones we have your, your favoritefast food place to go.
Just grab something quick.

You know what?
Honestly, this might be a hottake, but I love a Whopper, man.
There's something about theWhopper I just enjoy.
It has a size.
Maybe it's the BK Burger near methat just does it right, but the
produce is so fresh on it.
Not sponsored, but I like aWhopper.

Cozy Snap (01:02:50):
I'm a fried chicken kind of guy.
Like, funny enough, your perfectmeal has fried chicken, but
that's my fast food.
That's my weakness.
Like, I see a Popeye's and Isecond guess myself.
Like, sometimes I know my wifemight be cookin and I'm like, I
think I'm still gonna go get it.
Pop eyes or fried chicken of anykind.
We'll see.
I don't know it chick fil a anyanything in that Cain's chicken

(01:03:12):
Have you have Cain's chicken upthere?
Oh, man.
I heard of Cain's.
Yeah.
Yeah, you haven't yeah, youhaven't lived.
I'm sorry

Yeah, you guys have those places where people
like rollerblade to your car andstuff Sonic They do that?
They actually rollerblade toyour car?
They used to a lot.
Like, they'll play oldies musicand stuff?
Yeah, Sonic

Cozy Snap (01:03:27):
was like my, one of my first jobs, dude.
I was, I, I rollerbladed, man.
I, I think I've told you this.
I made two bucks more an hour byrollerblading.

Really?
I didn't know that.

Cozy Snap (01:03:35):
Yeah, back then I was getting like eight bucks an
hour, six bucks an hour.
I thought I was like king of theworld.
Because I played hockey so likeI would go and I like I would
easily go and do that becauseI'm like, yeah Sure for sure two
bucks and I would roll up to theladies man.
It was great straight fromfootball It was a good time last
question your favorite Did youplay Game Boy or anything like
that?
Did you have a game boy?

(01:03:55):
Of course I did.
You had a Game Boy?
Top three games on Game Boy.

I only had two I had Metroid and I had Kirby's
Dream Land.
You said of course I did andthen you say

Cozy Snap (01:04:04):
you've only had two I

only had two games.
I don't know what

Cozy Snap (01:04:07):
else to tell you.
But you have Climbed from thetop back then, man.
What?
So, and the two games you hadwas, was Kirby Dream Land.
And Metroid.
Metroid what?

It was called Metroid.
It was like the first Metroid.

Cozy Snap (01:04:19):
Oh, okay.
It was a banger.
Yeah, that was a good one forsure.
Did you just, did you stop atGame Boy?
Did you have like a Game BoyAdvance?

Stop the Game Boy, and then I got an N64.
You didn't get a Game Boy Color?
At some point.
No, I still have my Game Boy.
So how did you play

Cozy Snap (01:04:33):
Pokemon?
That's my answer, question.

I emulated on PC.
How long later?
No, it was pretty immediate,man.
I remember playing Pokemon Redon my PC.
Like.
Yeah.

Cozy Snap (01:04:45):
Well, so you

never like There's no way I'm the only one.
I feel like everyone I knewplayed a lot of these.
I

Cozy Snap (01:04:49):
did it like later in life, but you didn't get a trade
with people.
No, I was a kid, man.

I was a

Cozy Snap (01:04:54):
kid.
Yeah, but I wasn't

hard either.
I was Oh, great.
Did you collect I'm gonna getsued by Nintendo.
Did you collect Pokemon cards?

Cozy Snap (01:05:01):
Hell yeah, buddy.
I had a Pokemon card rightthere.
I can go get them.
Nah, nah, nah.
Not now.
Like I'm talking like the freshbase one set.

But I we went through this before i'm looking
for it.
I showed you my picture You saidit was garbage because it had
the wrong color cheeks.
Where the hell is it?
It's not a red cheeks.

Cozy Snap (01:05:15):
There's no shot.
I listen.
Hey, I if I could do anythingwith unlimited money If people
want to know this, and it'snever going to happen, it's like
half a million dollars.
I would love to open a firstedition base set of Pokemon
cards.
I don't even have to keep them.
I just want to open them.
And, and relive the nostalgia.
That, even, not even firstedition.

(01:05:36):
If anyone wanted to ever give methe best present of all time, it
would just be to open a baseset.
Of, of, I would be foreverindebted to this human being.

You know what I would do?
As soon as you laid out all yourfirst edition Pokemon cards,
$500,000 worth of cards I wouldknock on the door.

Cozy Snap (01:05:55):
Abe's coming noon.
I knew Ram's coming back on thatnote, guys, hopefully you
enjoyed this very specialedition of the Snapchat, Alex
and I.
We're not planning on this to bea Aliboss episode.
We still have to record my side.
Oh dear God.
If you want to, if you want tocarry the, if you want to watch
this mountain peak, continue todo this, you head on over to

(01:06:18):
Alex's side, guys, where it'sgoing to continue to just be
craziness.
Cause we have more Snapchatmailbag coming at you as, as
well as Agamotto and Esan inreview.
You've been saying Esan?
Esan?
What are you calling him?
I don't even know what it is,man.
I give up on

reading.
Cozy, hope you had yourself awonderful week.
We've got a lot to talk about inthis episode here.
We're coming from an absolutelyphenomenal conversation on your
side.
One of my absolute favoritewe've ever had.
And here we are.
Now we're going to back down toearth talking about the cards of
Marvel Snap.
We're going to start withAgamotto, the season pass card.
Cozy, there's this old saying,it's not old but it's a saying

(01:06:52):
that goes.
Second Inter likes making moneyand sometimes they release
Season Pass cards that are metawarping and, you know, they
might sell Season Passes withthe card being so good.
Do you suspect that Agamottomight fall into that category of
like, Hey, this card might bereally good and probably is
going to sell season passes?

Cozy Snap (01:07:07):
That is an old saying.
What is that, 1864 AD?
Approximately, yeah.
Okay, I wanted to get the datecheck on that.

Galileo playing Marvel Snap said it
first, I believe.

Cozy Snap (01:07:16):
Yes.
By the way, if you did not comefor my episode, first of all,
how dare you?
But most importantly, it is verylate when we are recording this,
so you are going to get yourcertified Alex slurring of
words.
It is going to, you know, you'regoing to get a Full dose of
that.
Double dose maybe today.
So I prep up because I'm, I loveit.
I eat it up.
Secondly Agamotto season pass.

(01:07:39):
Yes.
We knew this dude.
A 5.
10 was crazy.
We already knew he was going tobe good at a 5.
10.
Even with the inflated stats ofinfinite climbing, which are
super inflated and cannot betaken.
Too seriously.
It, it doesn't take long torealize this guy's pretty good.

You know, it was funny.
I had this thought.
Do you remember miles Moralesbeing a season pass card?

Cozy Snap (01:08:02):
Yeah.
They realized that was Morales.
That was the last time they, no,no, they did Miles, right?
And they're like, this is good.
Then they did Black Panther.
And sales, sales were like waydown.
They're like, all right, SilverSurfer, Zabu.
Like they just

started cooking from there.
Was Nick Fury the launch card?
Or is that kind of came a littlebit?
No,

Cozy Snap (01:08:21):
that was made.
Miles was the first true season.
Isn't

that nuts?
Isn't that absolutely crazy?
Miles Morales, he was a 4'5 atthe time too.

Cozy Snap (01:08:30):
Nick Fury was before that, before that was Daredevil.
Wave was the first ever.
Wave was the first ever.
I think those are the ones.
Wave, Daredevil, Nick Fury.
I think there might be one

more.
Yeah, there might be one more.
But anyways, it's crazy to thinkabout how far season passes have
gone.
And now we're looking atEgamoto, who we knew was going
to be good.
And if this was like two yearsago, Second Dinner, I think this
is probably like a 5.
7.
A release at 5.
7 that gets buffed to 5.
10 with the The temporalmanipulation, but yeah, this
card's cracked.
We both came in at five starsand does it hit five stars

(01:09:02):
though?
Like right now, and keep inmind, we, it's the first week.
So we have like bond inflation.
We don't have infinite onlystats yet from untapped, but it
is running a 56.
6 percent win rate, 34 percentpopularity and a cube rate of
literally 0.
5, zero it's crushingstatistically.
And in my play experience.
It's crushing.
So, what's your play experiencebeen like?

Cozy Snap (01:09:24):
I think I saw Infinite was like 51 percent or
something and that's what both,like, Esan was lower than that.
I, it, forget that, becausethere's not a lot, there's not
enough data right there in thefirst week.
I think he's 5 star.
Yeah, I do.
And I, I also think he's supercomplex, so I think that it's
gonna take time, but I thinkAgumon is a crack card.
Yeah, I think he's, he's good.
I think even within the week ofplaying him, he felt really

(01:09:44):
good.
I think that the spellssurprised me a little bit, which
ones I liked, you know, most andwhich ones, uh, continue to use
or look out for hope I drew.
But I still think we're justscratching the surface with this
guy.
Give it a couple of weeks.
And I think we're going to be

like,

Cozy Snap (01:09:58):
yeah, that's an easy

five.
Yeah.
He's definitely a great card.
Now, actually, I thought it'd befun to do this.
I'm good with five, I'm happywith that too.
I think this is going to be avery meta shaping card.
I would like to do star ratingsfor each of the spell effects,
now that we've beenexperimenting with them.
What would you give TemporalManipulation?
Dude, they're a

Cozy Snap (01:10:15):
good card, man.
This is a, this is a, I mean,What did we say?
I think last time we said thiswas our second favorite card.
I think that's probably Oh, youknow what?
I

forgot to

Cozy Snap (01:10:24):
take down the rank That's okay, I remember.
I remember for the most part.
I think this was our secondfavorite.
And I think both of us agreed onit.
I would probably put it there.
I think it's a really good card.
Maybe I mean, the fact that youcan just draw them, draw them,
but you know, grab Agamotto fromanywhere, and you get that plus
power, and it's just kind ofnice to get things rolling with

(01:10:44):
it, cheap cost, it was good,man, I used it all the time.

Okay, instead of star rating, give it like A
plus to F, like a school teacherwould.
I don't know, what do you giveit?

Cozy Snap (01:10:52):
I'm thinking it's like an A for sure.
I think it's just standard A.
It's definitely an A.
I know, it's not a B, becausethere's no slight against it,
there's nothing I don't likeabout it, yeah, that's what I
was going to say too.
What about winds of a tomb?

Oh, this is A man.
I found myself playing this sooften.
Even on Curve, on Turn 2, I'mlike, Hell yeah, let's go.
This is probably This one hereis probably the most, I don't, I
won't say broken one.
This one here is good.
It's really good.
This is A to me.
This one's absolutely insane.
Negative 5 power plus the move?

Cozy Snap (01:11:20):
Yeah, at 2 cost, it's so good, bro.
Because you get the disruptionand you're playing a 2 5,
essentially, right?
So, yeah.
This one on Kerr felt nasty andit you're messing up so many
plays and so many things thatthese people are trying to do
people play Cars and locationsfor reasons blah blah blah.
This was very I agree 100percent Bolts of

go ahead.
Hey, what's this one called?
No cozy.
I give it to you, sir I'm tryingI'm trying to pull back from my
meme image.
No, Alex, please my friend Thisis the bolts of ball sack coming
at you three constant waswaiting for

Cozy Snap (01:11:52):
it my man This was good.
I mean it funny enough I in Thisis the one that I think we're
gonna As we deck build it'llbecome better I think that this
was like the because like in theinitial decks like I I it didn't
always Perfectly curved the wayI wanted it.
But I liked it.
I would give it like a

Like

Cozy Snap (01:12:10):
a B.
Yeah,

I agree.
I was gonna say B.
This was by far, for me, theleast impactful and I think
maybe you're right.
Maybe it's the deck buildingconsideration.
We haven't hit that deckbuilding kind of sweet spot
where the ball sack isabsolutely required.
But like, as of right now, like,listen, there were times there
were times.
Where, like, you get bolts ofballsack, and you absolutely
smoke your opponent, teabag himall to hell, and it's like, it's

(01:12:34):
awesome.
Sometimes, it felt like, by far,the weakest of the Arcana you
could have gotten.
And so, for that reason, Iactually think it's probably the
weakest of the four.
I actually think it's probablythe weakest of the four.
In my initial playtest.
It's most deck

Cozy Snap (01:12:50):
reliant.
It's most deck reliant.
That's gonna be what I have tosay.
I feel like Images of a Con,this is when we put the lowest.
Here's the thing, this is what Isaid, you know, everyone was
like so concerned about puttingthis with like big cars and
stuff, which I think is great,but I think this one, at four,
had a lot of va I think Ibrought this up with Starbrand,
right?
So like, this is a lane winner,and I think that's so important

(01:13:11):
in the game, and because ofthat, it was able to do some
really cool interactions that Idon't think I was like, prepared
like dude, there was one playthat I got debrised, and I
turned that debris into what wasit at the time?
I think I had vision in thedeck.
Either way, I turned a rock intoan eight.
Like, Like stuff like that.
That was the stuff thatsurprised me the most is like
turning some fodder stuff intolike really strong power I

(01:13:35):
actually played this card a lotbro.
I like this card a lot.
I think it just has infiniteuses, and it's a lane winner at
four, so yeah.
Rating?
Rating?
Rating?
I'll give this an A Yeah.

I was just gonna say A too! Oh, nice! Okay.
So, of all of them, this is theone I think we ranked fourth?
I think it's number one.
I think it's the best one.
And it surprised me.
You know why?
Okay.
Sam Wilson.
Did Sam Wilson have to get anybetter?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
You get to change the shieldinto something insane.
Yeah.
Wild what you can do.
Zao shield, they do their thing.

(01:14:06):
They sit there and they justwait for you to absolutely
change in a huge power.
Like think about Zbu.
You play zao.
It's one, two sitting there.
Who cares about that two powerNow it's fodder for images of I
icon.
Yeah.
For icon, icon images of icon.
It's sitting there, it's waitingto get changed that shield as if
Sam Wilson needed to get evenbetter.
That shield is perfect fodderfor the images of Viking.

(01:14:27):
Yeah, it's I don't know.
This one here really, reallyimpressed me.

Cozy Snap (01:14:31):
Yeah, it's good.
It's definitely, like, I won acouple matches where the person,
like, invested so much intotheir lane.
And I was like, great.
And I just ended up overpoweringit because I, it was able to
play this on it and just takethat over.
Interesting.
I didn't, I didn't think wewould, like, I was excited to,
like, tell you I liked that one.
But yeah, and then you combineall that with the 5 10.
Did you feel like him havingthose spells mixed in messed up

(01:14:52):
the draw a lot?

It, I felt like it probably did.
Like, I definitely felt the Sowhen you play Thanos, right, the
fact that the stones drawthrough themselves really helps.
These spells don't draw throughthemselves.
Now, I was playing Phastos in alot of my Shell's House testing
and having the spells discountedwas helpful.
But then also, I'm playingPhastos on 3, which makes it so
that I'm not, you know, ballsackramping.

(01:15:15):
And I'm not doing all thosethings that sounded so stupid.
That's stupid.
Did you try to take someseriously, Cain?
I couldn't even finish mysentence, ballsack ramping.
I looked away, I was like, Ican't even do it.
So I hope, you know what, Ijust, I hope that catches on,
man.
Man, ballsack ramp, that's thenew one.
But yeah, like I felt like, youknow, ultimately, 5'10 he was

(01:15:36):
strong.
He was strong.
And I was playing him as a 5'13I was.
I was getting along as a 5'13And so, ultimately, at the end
of the day, I think it comesdown to this.
The season pass in Marvel Snapis disproportionately always
good.
Because not only getting theseason pass card for 10 bucks,
Try and buy 10 worth of tokens,right?
Like it ain't happening.
So the season pass, there's amix here, right?

(01:15:58):
People say, Oh, the season passcards too expensive, or it's
too, no, sorry.
The season pass cards too good.
They're selling season passes.
But at the same time, in termsof your money, it's also like,
if the season pass card is goingto be good, it's 10 bucks.
Whereas like tokens andeverything else is so much more
expensive, right?
So so there's that side to it.
But of course you do have toput, put the money into the
ecosystem.

(01:16:18):
So there's, there is a trade offto that, but.
With the season pass, you'regetting a lot of resources.
You are getting variants, stufflike that.
So it continues to be a verygood place to spend 10.
And I suppose it helps with theseason pass card being as good
as it is.
Kozy, would you like to move on?
Eason,

Cozy Snap (01:16:34):
610 Eason, after each turn put the card from your hand
that didn't start in there inyour deck.
Yeah, you know what I'm tryingto say.
What did you think of Eason?
I think he landed exactly whereI thought he was going to land.
Fun, and, but like, definitelyfun.
I don't think he, listen, Ithink against bots he's really,
really good.
I what do you think?
Go ahead.

I think he landed way above my
expectations.
What do you have him at?
A 5 star or something?
No, not 5.
We both ranked him 3.
I think he's definitely a fourstar card.

Cozy Snap (01:17:02):
I think, yeah, so I think I want to see how this guy
ages against like betterplayers.
That's what I want to see more.
I think Cause I, dude, I lookedat it too, to confirm my
suspicion.
He's like 48 percent at highinfinite play.

Yeah, I believe it.
So that's, that's my worry.
He's a bit of a shunchie magnettoo, I think.

Cozy Snap (01:17:20):
But I, he is good.
Like his, his base core gameplayloop felt

really good.
And you know what I will say?
Is that I felt like the deckswhere he was in with Egamoto
weren't as good.
Like I feel like he's better inlike the Victoria Hand style
deck than he is in Egamoto.
Cause I thought, oh you knowwhat, he's gonna pull a spell
down for free and stuff likethat.
That actually rarely happenedfor me.
And I felt that like, I wouldn'tbe surprised that the best Esan
deck is not an Agamotto deck.

(01:17:46):
That would not surprise me.
Honestly, the card right nowfrom, so rank 70 to 100
incorporating kind of bondinflation, it's running a 56.
1%.
So five five Tenths of a percentlower than Agamotto.
Agamotto's running 0.
50 cubes.
This is 0.
versus Agamotto's 34.
It's literally a step underAgamotto Statistically in every

(01:18:08):
single category.
However, I don't think this is athree star card, which is where
we gave them I I would againtime will tell but I think this
card might be actually low keyreally good But honestly, I
think so in my playtesting Ifelt pretty confident with it
And I wonder if we're onlygetting started with the brewing
here.
Honestly, it might be a goodVictoria hand card.

Cozy Snap (01:18:30):
This was a tough week because we had Eason and
Agamotto come out in the sameweek, both of which need a lot
of testing.
And that, that is tough.

No, it is tough.
The one thing about the Eason,Victoria hand style deck that
sucked is the images of icon oricon don't get the Victoria hand
buff because they're not createdin hand.
And so they don't get the plustwo, which I think kind of like,
it's not a synergy that like isa deal breaker, but it's like,
well, damn it.
Like, does that mean that like,you know, you don't build a
Victoria hand Agamotto Easondeck, you cut the Agamotto out

(01:18:59):
and you lean more into thatcreated synergy.
So I don't know, man, I don'tknow.
I, for what it's worth.
When I was testing this card andI knew that we had come in at a
three.
Yep.
And even then I had somereservations about it.
I was, I knew I was wrongtesting it.
I was like, this is, this isbetter than three, but it's not
as good as Agamotto, I don'tthink, but it wouldn't surprise
me if ultimately there are acouple decks that are like

(01:19:21):
punching.
In those ranges of what, like,how do I explain this?
I think Agamotto individually isa better card, but it wouldn't
surprise me if Esan's in abetter deck.

Cozy Snap (01:19:30):
It, they, they both are just good cards, and like,
you know, we, we've been sayingfor how long in SnapNOW, like,
good card decks or whatever.
Like, Esan needs more synergyper se than Agamotto, but the
cards that he gets the synergyfrom are so good to begin with.
You know, the, the IronPatriots, the new White Queen,
that they obviously reallyhelped out Esan.
I think Esan you know, thatwhite queen fix was huge.

(01:19:51):
And then obviously, yeah,Victoria hand that we just
mentioned but even like oldfavorites, you know, iron
patriot valentina.
Those are they all work well

Yeah, and it's worth noting that like the
spotlight cash was isan betarebuild wiccan Beta Rebuild is
the landmine there,unfortunately.
But like, if you don't haveWiccan, Wiccan's awesome.
It is definitely worth having inyour collection.
It looks like Esan might beworth having in your collection
too.
So if you're like, not sure ifyou want to roll, the problem is
there's so much good stuffcoming.
But ultimately, I think that ifyou If you don't have Wiccan and

(01:20:23):
you're interested in Esan, Ithink it might be worth taking a
shot at the, at the Spotlights.
But there's so much good stuffcoming too, like even Starbrand
we just talked about has theScar in it.
You're gonna have Cassandra Novaand Neeko in the Firehair week,
right?
So there's like lots of goodstuff, so much, I mean, this is
the problem, right?
Like there's so many good cardsin the, the Spotlights that you
kind of want to roll from.
You want to dodge the Landmineof Beta Ray Bill.

Cozy Snap (01:20:44):
The, the Firehair week is a must save.
Like, especially if you don'thave two of the three of those
cards, it's like, go wild.

Yeah, Firehand's gonna be absolutely
insane.
And you know what else is prettyinsane, Cozy?
Is these hot and rising cards,dammit.
There have been some cardsrising amongst the ashes like a
phoenix of the meta.
Cozy, we've had some cards beabsolute bangers.
You like that transition, Cozy?
You like that?
Listen, I'm trying, man.
I'm trying.
It's, it's, I am three hoursahead of you, sir.

(01:21:10):
Three hours ahead of you.
And you know what?
Maybe next time I'm not puttingwater into my bottle.
We're going to get something alittle stiffer to keep me a
little more fluid.
You're plenty fluid.
During the Snapchat.
You are,

Cozy Snap (01:21:21):
you're as fluid as we need Alex right now.
No, we got, what did you justsay?
Okay, yes, hot and rising metacards, my man.
What, what are you, what'scooking?
Tell us about this.
You know

what?
The meta's been shifting quite abit, Cozy.
I'm playing a lot of MarvelSnap.
And I'll tell you, there's acouple cards that have really,
really started to take off.
One of them is Hela.
Hela is legitimately all overthe place right now.
And it's, it's the scar change.
And it's so funny how, like, wetalk about this all the time, it
was like, oh, if, let's say Helaneeded a buff.

(01:21:54):
People will say, well, how doyou buff Hela?
Well, make her a 5, or make hera, sorry, a 6, 10, or make her
something.
Like, they always talk about thecard itself.
But Hela didn't need a buff toherself.
She needed Scar.
Right?
She needed Scar being changed toa 7 power.
And getting additional strengthas well.
So yeah, so honestly, Hela'sright now running a 13.

(01:22:14):
7 percent Metashare, that'sinsane for Hela.

Cozy Snap (01:22:17):
That was the first, I think when we recapped the OTA,
when we talked about Scar, I waslike, man, I think Hela's going
to feast off this, and it, we,I, it keeps her, like, so many
cars in the future can help herout that much more.
Do you think Starbrand will wantto be there because he's a 3, or
is it just too awkward?

I don't know, because hell is all about
putting like, just blanket powerdown, especially with the RNG of
things falling where they are.
I think the negative 3 power, orthe 3 power you're giving your
opponent might actually bedetrimental.
Like, I thought about that.
It is 10 power, but there's noway of really It's like
disabling the effect on a helladeck.

Cozy Snap (01:22:53):
Yeah.

I just, I don't know, man.
I mean, you already have like somuch power, which is a black cat
kind of gets out of the hand.
I'm like, Oh, here we go.

Cozy Snap (01:23:01):
Yeah.
Right.
You know, you know, immediatelyit's the first telltale sign.
But yeah, hell is definitely oneof the bigger winners right now
are hot and rising and it hasbeen for a bit, but if you
haven't.
Gotten back on the train and getthere.
Cause she, she's, she's

here.
Hello.
Continues to be like a designproblem.
Like, is it, is it a trueproblem though?
Like, do you, in my experience,the problem is hella doesn't
feel like as bad as it wasbefore.
Cause I feel like when theperson's piloting the deck, I'm
like, okay, they're doing stuff,but they're also playing like
more power.
Like, there's more power in thestages of Hela too, which makes
it more, like, consistent.

(01:23:35):
Like, they're playing good cardsto discard good cards.
So it's like, I don't know,they're kind of having their
cake and eating it too, which Ithink is contributing to the,
the power of the deck.

Cozy Snap (01:23:44):
Yeah, she's, I would definitely call, I want to call,
problem card is a weird word tocall her, but kind of, like,
she's been here for how long nowand she's, she's always made it
to reliable decks.
Although the first year she wasout though, dude, she was not
good.
Just, it was a meme.
She was really good in beta.

Yeah.
And she was the

Cozy Snap (01:24:02):
best beta deck.

And I don't remember what they did to change
her.

Cozy Snap (01:24:05):
In beta they, I think it was stat change.

Was it pure stats?
I don't actually remember.
Someone from, someone canremember, let us know.
Because I, it's something, theyhad to nerf her.
They had to nerf Hela, andbelieve it or not, they had to
nerf Mr.
Negative too.
Mr.
Negative.
Was one of the top beta deckstoo.
And they, they nerfed the crapout of it.
Well,

Cozy Snap (01:24:23):
just think about what it was just stats.
I think, because think aboutwhat was there to like defend
itself against Hela, likecompared to what we have today.
Like there's just nothing.
It was just

Cosmo.

Cozy Snap (01:24:33):
Yeah.

It was the invisible woman Hela deck.
That was so good.

Cozy Snap (01:24:37):
Invisible Woman was like the hotel back then, yeah.
Oh man.
Yeah, it takes me back to the,to the Glorious.
I can't believe how long it'sbeen.
Mr.
Negative was a 4'4 That was myfirst short.
My, like, only short on mychannel.

There's, there's one short of you, of
yours that always gets, like,showed to me.
It's always in my feed.
And you're doing like thesurprise Pikachu face on

Cozy Snap (01:24:58):
it.
It wouldn't, it wouldn't show ifyou watched it, Alex.
Who else do you have that's hotand rising?
Can I say one?
Yes, you can say one.
I don't think, I don't know ifhe's like hot and rising.
I think he's been good for alittle bit.
But I love Anti Venom.
I think Anti Venom has reallyfound his place.
Anti Venom.
Anti Anti.
Has found his place re morerecently than not.
And talk about a car that had a,a pretty good glow up from what

(01:25:18):
we thought in our originalreviews.

Yeah.
And, and even has been prettysolid also had that gold bundle,
which I think that really helpedpeople gain access because not
only was the gold bundle goodfrom an actual gold to currency
conversion.
But if you didn't have AntiVenom, then suddenly you had
Anti Venom.
It's one of those things wherelike, the gold bundles and the
bundles are valuable for cardsyou don't have because you get
the variant and can play thecard.
Although you still have tounlock the base one, which is a

(01:25:43):
little unfortunate.
But yeah, Anti Venom'sdefinitely playable.
I've been seeing less of himthough.

Cozy Snap (01:25:47):
I mean, he was, he's big in Affliction, he's big in
the ongoing Spectrum stuff.
Like, that's where he wasworking pretty well.
At least from when, when I sawhim.
But yeah, I, I mean, I'veenjoyed, I think, I think I've
liked him a good amount.
I have one other in mind thatI'm gonna let you go, and I
wanna see if you say him.

I'd have to say Adam Warlock.
Yeah.
Adam Warlock's running a 12percent Metashare right now.
If you would have told me, like,even a month ago, that, hey
Alex, on the Snapchat, you'regonna bring up Adam Warlock as a
hot and rising card at a 12percent Metashare, I'd have been
like, bruh, no.
That's not happening.
You know, you're, you're moreinebriated than I am.
But no, Adam Warlock isseriously running a 12 percent

(01:26:22):
Metashare right now.

Cozy Snap (01:26:24):
Doesn't shock us.
I think, again, we, we've gottenthe questions like, what other
cards can they add the and orto, and Otherwise, yeah,
otherwise they need to, theyneed to bring this to more
cards.
I think it's just a perfectsolution that doesn't like get
rid of the flavor of what weknew the card as, you know, like
not saying that Americantravelers could be in this game
anymore.

(01:26:45):
That feels like a lifetime ago,but like you could, instead of
just completely ripping the.
Really the personality of thatcard away you figure out
something about it, you know

I wonder if echo would be a card that would
be worth having a otherwise texton because I always think we've
had like major Ongoing metas andecho still doesn't get play.
That's a card that its coredesign isn't isn't good enough
It doesn't do the thing it needsto do.
Well

Cozy Snap (01:27:09):
now a star brand has got no shot to be played I mean,
yeah, you're looking for echo atthat point

Yeah, Max, the one time you play Echo, you get
starbrained.
I don't know what a feeling thatwould be.
Another hot and rising card cozyat 14 percent of the meta, and
this should come to no surprise.
I know you like your tech cards,but this is gonna be Red
Guardian.
Red Guardian feels like he'severywhere.
And I'll be honest, when I getRed Guardian, I'm not even mad.
This is just a good card.

(01:27:35):
But but yeah, Red Guardian hasbeen definitely a meta shaker
over the last little while.
Seems like a really good catchall from a tech perspective.

Cozy Snap (01:27:42):
Is he, I feel like he's just been hot.
He's just been a hot, a hot, ahot man.
Do you ever think they'd takehim down?
Could he get

taken down?
I'm not sure they probably couldpotentially remove the negative
two power and make it negativeone.
Cause you're still muting thecard.
Decks like Ajax decks still getthe synergy from having the
negative power applied.
Diamond back still wants thatnegative power.
I think they probably leave itthree, three, but maybe go
negative one power.
Yeah.
I can see that.

Cozy Snap (01:28:08):
Okay.

Okay.
I'm glad we're in agreement.
And if we want to talk aboutmore cards that are running up
really high at 35 percent of themeta, and this is since the
release of the season pass.
Iron Patriot won't go away.
You know, it just won't go away.
Iron Patriot.
What are your thoughts, buddy?

Cozy Snap (01:28:26):
I think I've said it whenever it came out.
It's like one of my favoritecards that ever come out.
Not only just because of whatthe way that I play Snap.
He's the perfect mix between funand good.
I think that's the ultimatething.
And the flexibility betweenthem.

I have a question for you.
Who would you take?
Iron Patriot or Sam Wilson,Captain America?
You can't pick both.

Cozy Snap (01:28:47):
No, I'm gonna pick the other one.
I'd go Iron Patriot.
See, I would

go Sam Wilson, but the stats support you.
Iron Patriot, 35.
7 percent of the meta accordingto Untappd.
Sam Wilson, 19.
7%.
Win rate, 57.
3%.
This is obviously bot inflation,and that's for Iron Patriot.
Sam Wilson, Captain Americacomes in at 58.
4%.
So, slightly higher win rate onthe Sam Wilson Captain America.

(01:29:12):
Now, here's the thing.
I'm gonna throw this by you.
Going back to Esan, I felt IronPatron Esan, while technically
compatible, not always exactlycompatible.
Because if I was getting Esandown, and I had a free or
discounted card, I often wantedto play that card, I didn't want
him to pull that card.
So sometimes Esan and IMP juststep on each other's toes.

Cozy Snap (01:29:30):
I like it in the sense that if you didn't win,
you were able to get that cardplayed still.
Or like, if you got the card,but it's not one that you wanted
to spend the energy to play,that he would play.
Like, that was kind of coolabout it.
I felt like there was enoughsynergy at it being a two, but I
do know what you mean.
It wasn't like a one for one,you know, perfect play.

Yeah, it's like, always better than
Valentina.
Like, Iron Patriot is alwaysbetter than Valentina for that
reason, right?
Just because you're getting anon Like, the, not, who cares
about the discount?
You're not getting affected fromthe power side.
I guess another climber It hasbeen Quinjet running a 20 22
percent Meta share, and that'sbecause of the the effectiveness
of Airshim, which is alsoclimbing as well.

(01:30:10):
So Airshim's seeing a climb,Quinjet's seeing a climb.
a lot.

Cozy Snap (01:30:13):
Yeah.
I, I, I saw way more Airshim.
Yeah, right.
Exactly.
We knew that too.
We had a feeling.
But it, it had its time out fora, for a tad.
We had a few months without it.
Yeah.
What do you, I don't.
Yeah, pretty much.
I don't mind them.
I just don't.
It doesn't.
Mm.
I don't know.
He doesn't frustrate me.

You know what the problem is?
I almost wish with Arishem, theydidn't, they didn't let you
build a deck or something.
I almost wish it was purely justdraft.

Cozy Snap (01:30:38):
I, I just don't know if they would ever do that.
I do think that's a fun, I thinkthat would be a fun mechanic for
everybody.

Yeah.
Maybe make it completely randomcards.
Plus one power, maybe plus onedraw at the start of the game or
something.
Draw an extra card.
Or maybe he's the extra card.
I don't know.
Do you really want to do that?
I don't know.
I just think there's a designspace for that.
I don't think we're ever goingto get draft.
I'm just going to say that rightnow.
I don't think we're ever goingto get into draft mode.
I think it's never going to comeout.
They're clearly not.
And you know what?
If they can make modes as goodas the Sanctum Showdown mode and

(01:31:08):
make that on a rotating basismaybe that saves the desire for
that.
Even though I love draft somuch.
The problem is, if they do

Cozy Snap (01:31:16):
draft as a limited time mode and it slaps as good
as we probably think it wouldPeople are just going to be
pissed when it goes away, andthen it's going to devalue like
high voltage and Sanctum.

Yeah, and Deadpool's diner.
Don't forget all that trashy.

Cozy Snap (01:31:31):
I How many people actually think that's the best
one?

How many people think Deadpool diners the
best?
There are people I've seen it onthe twit.
There are people well on theTwitter ya then you go on that

Cozy Snap (01:31:42):
Yeah, I am always

on Twitter.
Oh, man.

Cozy Snap (01:31:45):
That's where I see my, my, that's where I see
Kocha, where you you've had sometweets lately.

Every once in a while, I send a little thing
out, you know, but, You didsomething the other day.
You,

Cozy Snap (01:31:55):
like, asked a question, and I was like, look
at him, tweeting.

Like, oh, oh, no, I know it wasn't that.
Oh, dude, you know when Itweeted?
What'd you tweet?
You, you saw it, you watched itlive, it was just before We were
recording.
I blew my back out putting on mysocks.
You watched me do it.
People thought I was joking.
You watched me blow my back outputting on socks.
I

Cozy Snap (01:32:15):
think I was offended.
I thought it was your shoulder.
It was your back or yourshoulder.
I watched this man.
My back dude.
He was like talking to me and hewas just like took his socks off
and it was like a, it was a 20minute recovery.
I saw this man go through it.
He, this did happen.
This did happen.
I felt, I felt bad.
I was putting my socks on man.
Putting socks on?
I was putting socks on.

(01:32:35):
You were sockless when youanswered

the call?
I just took a shower to wake up.
And I came into the room, satdown, we were chatting.
I was putting my sockies on,because I'm in the basement,
it's cold.
What's your average shower Andmy back, blown out.
What's your average

Cozy Snap (01:32:49):
shower count a year?
Or like a sorry, a day.
A week.
A day.
I take, if I'm doing

content, I'll take about four showers a day.

Cozy Snap (01:32:56):
That's so BS, there's no way.
Four, four showers.
That's my wife, man.
How many towels?
Who's doing the linen aroundthere?
Well, my wife's not impressed.
Well, that's a lot of water.
And that's a lot of towels.

Yeah, I know.
I'm not joking, man.
Cause I shower once in themorning, I shower once when I
get home from work.
That's two minimum.
Why do you shower when you gethome from work?
Cause I need to, man.
What does that mean?
Cause I'm drawing phallic stuffall over the board all day long.
I need to wash it off, man.
No, I just, I need to.
It's like, showering for me islike hitting the reset button.
You know, it's like hitting thereset button.
And then I usually so I'll, I'llshower before bed as well.

(01:33:33):
Cause I like, I like laying, Ilike laying in clean sheets and
I like laying showered and sothat's what I'll do.
So three times a minimum, but ifI'm making content, like before
the Snapchat, I shower beforethe, you know, I do what I
Snapchat.
So I can kind of reenergize.

Cozy Snap (01:33:47):
What about you wet hair on the pillow?
Like how do you shower when you,that's why I don't like
showering before I sleep.

This might blow your mind, but I dry my
hair, dude, with a towel.
I go like this.
Yeah, I do too, but I guess youdon't have that much hair.
Yeah, dude, you're talking likeI have, we, like, am I that
much, dude, we have like thesame amount of hair.
In fact, if you, you get ahaircut ten times more often.
We have the same

Cozy Snap (01:34:09):
amount of hair, I don't think it's a factual
statement.

You have hair on your face, too.
You have a beard I don't rightnow.

Cozy Snap (01:34:14):
But on the

head?
No, I have less hair.
Dude, I'm, okay, first of all,I'm older than you, Mike, but
the hair is like, it's fading.
Like, great.
Your hairline's fantastic.
Really?
My brother has really nice hair.
It's like all, I used to havehair down my shoulders, man.
You should grow your hair outlong.
Dude, I did.
I had super long hair.
Go back to it.
With the glasses, you'd look Doyou know what?
I, so, I remember I was like, Iwas younger.

(01:34:36):
I was in my mid twenties.
I had really long hair down my,my, like down, like, long, long,
long.
And this girl came up to me andshe's like, you look like Josh
Groban.
And I was like, really, is thata compliment?
She's like, yeah, that's cool.
No.
Oh, thanks.
He has a voice of an angel, man.
Oh,

Cozy Snap (01:34:53):
well, Hey, look at you, man.
I, I think put it down below.
Alex should grow his hair out.
Yes or no.
I don't even know what we weretalking about.
I'll be honest.
What are we talking about rightnow?
Oh, hot and rising currents.
That's

it.
Yeah.
And then we started talkingabout showering.
We got completely derailed.
Alright, okay, couple more,couple more, then we're gonna
move on to our second edition ofthe Snapchat Mailbag.
Mockingbird rising because ofthe Agamotto and the Ereshim
stuff, obviously.
Well, not necessarily Agamotto,because they don't stay on the
board, but the Ereshim stuff.
Here's a surprising one.
King E Tree, King E Tree, whichwas running exactly 0 percent of
the meta, because it was anabsolute Fecal matter card is

(01:35:26):
now running a 6 percent Metashare cozy King E3, 6%.
What is happening out there?
When

Cozy Snap (01:35:31):
you go up from zero, it's still going out.
You're still, you are stillrising.
I mean, we thought we talkedabout it in the synergy
department.
I thought it was going to bemore of a meme than a dream, but
people want their spells.
They want that draw to happen.
I tried it once.
I think I got him on turn sixand I, I, I banished him.
I banished him myself.
I'm not,

I ain't playing King Eitri.
I'm not doing anything.

Cozy Snap (01:35:51):
Yeah, you have him though.
At least you got him.
Can you imagine if you went to Stier meta and it was the card
you skipped?

Bro, what if it, okay, what if they're doing
the spotlight cash the way theydid because Glenn cooked this
like Beta Ray Bill Eitri deckwhere you like images of Iken,
Beta Ray Bill, and then you getall the things.
And then you bring them all backwith Gene Foster, and then you
play all the hammers at once.
It's as good as the the Spud Ram2099 deck.

(01:36:20):
Oh, the, the, yeah, and whateverdeck required the nerfing of
Taskmaster in the first place,which was probably the little
bounce movers deck, honestly.
Yeah.
Whatever.
And the last one that's worthmentioning here before we move
on.
There's two I want to mention.
They're almost exactly the sameat nine and a half percent play
rate.
Agent Coulson, White Queen,Cozy.
What do you think?
Both time.
I mean, you can't,

Cozy Snap (01:36:40):
you can't be hot and rising if you played every day.
I play Agent Coulson.
It's true.
It's

true.
Okay, so you love Coulson.
I love White Queen.
We can meet in the middle?
That's all

Cozy Snap (01:36:49):
I'm gonna say.
We should have our sets look theexact same, so that it looks
like we're in the same room.

Dude, I actually have those exact, like,
wall panel things.
I'm just looking at them,they're on the other walls.
I gotta redo mine.
I know, why don't you show that?
Why don't you show those?
Man, cause I gotta move all mydesk around.
And I'm renovating this wall,cause I'm doing a whole new
display.

Cozy Snap (01:37:12):
What's on there?

It's my old display, except now I messed it
all up.
What's your new display?
It's gonna be a better versionof my old one.
Wow, you really seem to hypethat up.
I know.
I'm going, I'm reaching for themoon.
You're like, damn it.
I'm totally renovating thiswhole space.
You obviously noticed I movedcamera angles.
I'm in the same room, it's justa different angle.
I Snapchat mailbag question.

(01:37:36):
You need a good Snapchat mailbagquestion?
Cozy, I got a good Snapchatmailbag question for you.
It comes from Kyle Hunter.
This is my favorite questionI've been asked for a while.
It says the ball sack joke isfunny But I cannot handle a full
season of it Please let thisjoke die after this video and
not become the next hydrationRobert

Cozy Snap (01:37:56):
Can you imagine the devs and their OTA?
We had to nerf down Agamotto andthe ball sack as some people are
calling him Alex Gocha

The bolts of ballsack going down to two cost.
Buffer egg oil.
Bro, it cracks me up becauselike,

Cozy Snap (01:38:11):
I don't nickname the cards.
I let Alex do his, his thing.
Like that's, you know what,like.
You go.
I'm glad you're doing it waslast episode You kept calling
Galactus g man and there's aviewer that comes in like it
took him like an hour and a halfto figure out What a g man was.

I was referring to Half Life 2.
Come on now.
Everyone knows who g man is.

Cozy Snap (01:38:34):
I'm like, I forgot that people I'm gonna have to
start having like cue cards toremind people what all of Alex's
pet names are

Dude, sometimes I'm editing my videos
and I'm like, oh my god, man.
Like this is like, what am Isaying?
I do some sentences I'm like,I'm like I'm like, Oh man, I'm
like, I know he's going to playthe Magento, but I got these but
I played with the balls, thebolts of ball sacks.
I'll be able to throw downhydration, Robert, alongside,
you know, cross boners, like theone sentence is like nine
different, like stupid ass petnames for cards and anybody

(01:39:05):
that's like, just trying tolike, enjoy their coffee in the
morning.
It's like, what the hell is thisguy even talking about right
now?
Like, well, I don't even knowwhat any of these cards are.
You listen, you

Cozy Snap (01:39:12):
make my coffee drink.
Good morning's better.
How about that?

I appreciate that Cozy, but anyways, I don't
think, I don't think bolts ofball sack is going to quite hit.
I can't hear ball sack

Cozy Snap (01:39:22):
anymore.
I can't.
I, I've, I've upped it like themost I've ever, like, if you
looked at the, the, the graph, avisual graph of how much I said
that word, it would be like, itwould be like this.
All right.
Then it would die down.
Okay.
For like a good two, twodecades.
And it's off the charts, man.
2025.

It's off the charts.
Dude, I'm bringing it up.
I had to, in the most recentvideo I did for Esan, I actually
had to pin a comment, cause I, Igotta read it to you.
I just gotta read it to you.
This is the comment I had to, Ihad to pin for, for the, the
fans here.
I had to pin, hold on, there itis, okay, I had to pin, I'm just
going to get ahead of thecomments here and say that while

(01:40:01):
I, while I was editing thisvideo, I realized that I had
been using the word ballsack waytoo many times over the past
several days, and I promise thatI'm going to try to restrict and
reduce my use of the wordballsack going forward this
season Or else everyone justmight lose their minds.
Did you pin that?
Thank God.
I pinned that.
And you know what?
In the comments, people arelike, go get him, King.

(01:40:22):
They want it.
They want it.
So while I know it, I understandthat, you know.
I want you to make a note.
I'm not going to say it.
I'm not going to say the wordagain.
I'm getting baited into sayingthe word over and over again.
It ends here.
Hammond Cheese Sandwich says,Heya! Cozy Snap and Alex Kocha
Enjoyer here.
Really enjoyed Sanctum Showdownthis week, and loved getting

(01:40:42):
three new cards from the event.
My mindset with this game isthat at the end of the day, if I
can get a bad new card, I stillget a new card that I can test,
and eventually see buffs added.
So also, I don't know if othershave noticed, but I think the
base Punisher is Cross Eyed.
Really?
Yes.
The base punisher.
Kind

Cozy Snap (01:41:00):
of

a two parter there.

Cozy Snap (01:41:01):
I, I, I only paid attention to the base, the base
punisher.
Hold on.
Koji's trying to remember whatcost punisher is right now.
No, I'm looking at him.
Put him up on the screen.
Yeah.
It's, you have to really, youhave to, it's more than cross
eyed it.
This guy's got something else.
This guy's got a lot going onwith him.
Yeah, he's having a rough day,man.
Holy shh.
like

That's like the thousand mile stare hit.

Cozy Snap (01:41:25):
Nobody's home.

This is Alex.
He's got, someone's got to takethem into like, see someone
who's going to go see a doctor.
This

Cozy Snap (01:41:30):
is Alex at a three o'clock 3 a.
m.
Recording over here.
This is

me trying to edit the Snapchat.
My eyes blazed over two in themorning after cozy's snail
internet cozy's internet.
So bad.
It's not.
You're better off putting,you're better off putting your,
the Snapchat into a USB key andmailing it to me.
A US who?
Who?
You should put the, you shouldcopy my side of the snapshot
into A USB key and mail it tome.

(01:41:55):
It'd be faster than uploading.
What's a B key?
What are you think?
What are you saying?
A USB key.
What's that?
Like a thumb drive.
You've never seen like a USB keybefore.
I call it a thumb drive.

Cozy Snap (01:42:05):
I don't think I've ever called it a key.
Oh, A USB key.
You call it a key.
I don't call it a key.
Really.
I don't think that's a thing.

I It might be.
It might be.
That can't be a regional thing.
Come on now.
They're definitely known as justbe keys.
Valenta comes in with a questionfor the mailbag, and it says,
Cards that create other cardsnow give the artist a variance
if able.
For example, PixelColson willnow give 5s, letting everyone
know because it wasn'tadvertised as a feature, but it

(01:42:34):
is the biggest change to thepatch gameplay wise for them.

Cozy Snap (01:42:37):
Yes, easily.
It's my favorite thing I've everseen

in

Cozy Snap (01:42:39):
my life.

Yeah, I like it.
I think it's a great touch.
And people are gettingunreleased variants too, did you
notice that?
Oh yeah,

Cozy Snap (01:42:47):
dude, which is awesome.
I mean, I'm, I'm here for it.
I, the more pixel, the better,you know what I mean?

And you know what?
So DanHipp, I've always likedDanHipp's art.
And the DanHipp with the, someof the new, like, those ray
effects look really cool.
Yeah, they do.
So I really like the DanHipp'slately with some of those ray
effects.
A lot of the effects look goodto me.
Even though I've been putting ontoo many cards and there's too
much movement on the screen.
I'm like, oh my gosh, I'm gonnathrow up, but it's a whole other
thing.
You know?
We got another question, Cozy.
We got two more.

(01:43:13):
This one from the mailbag, itsays, What's up, Alex and Cozy?
What's up, might be a mare.
Since we're never getting firstedition badges, and we never got
added the ultimate variantfeatures either, what do you
think they could do to make theultimate variants feel more
ultimate, and reward players forbeing the original variant
owners?

(01:43:34):
Uhhh.

Cozy Snap (01:43:36):
I don't know if it's part of an NDA.
I can't say.
I know at one point I was it waslike speculated that Ultimate
cards were gonna get likeUltimate voice lines and stuff.
Like it was gonna feel epic whenUltimate effects, yeah.
Yeah that was like two yearsago, I think, when that was
said, so.
My guess is nothing which sucksit does suck cuz I think they're

(01:43:56):
really cool and they right nowthe best thing about them is
They give you albums Unlockedagain, it's stupid.

No, I'm of the opinion.
They probably shouldn't be partof albums cuz they kind of like,
of course

Cozy Snap (01:44:08):
It's awful.
I hate that design.
Yeah, I'd like some type ofdifferent frame or something
would be cool.
Do I think they'll do it?
Maybe maybe not I'm gonna go Ihave to tell you

I regret I regret my purchases of ultimate
variants Like I do I don't Ibought that I bought the
ultimate armor and then everyonegot gifted a better armor
variant I was like f me man.
Like I was so annoyed.
It's

Cozy Snap (01:44:27):
definitely some ultimates that I use Just
because I have to use them likeI bought it and I don't even
like it anymore, but I damn it.
I'm going to use it.
Armor is one of them.

That's the spirit, Cozy.
One last, one last thing for theSnapchat mailbag, Cozy.
Cozy, I have a question for youand it comes from Homing Budgie.
Why do seagulls fly over thesea?
If they flew over the bay, theywould be bagels.
Cozy, I can't, you're off screenwith your head in your hands.
I laughed.

Cozy Snap (01:44:59):
You gotta laugh at me.
You gotta you gotta chuckle.
I appreciate it.
I'm gonna be that one hits homefor San Diego, so I'm gonna
steal that.
Appreciate that.
Who's that?
Who can I think?
Homie Budgie.
Homing Budgie.

I think Alex takes

many showers, you guys.
That's fair.
That's fair.
I I just might.
I just might.
But you know what?
What can I say?
I love water.
I just love water.
Do you have a water Pokemon?
If you could be any Pokemon,you'd be water?
Who would I be if I could be aPokemon?
That's such a great question.
Snorlax.

Oh, I barely get to sleep!Snorlax would be such a good

(01:45:33):
call.
Oh, I would love to be Snorlax.
You're, you know what I wouldsee you as?
You're definitely like aHitmonchan, I think.
What the fu?
Yeah, I can see you being aHitmonchan, like you being like
some athletic boxer dude.
That's a, I was thinking more.
It's a compliment, man.
I'd be more like a Poliwhirl orsomething.
Yeah, yeah, sexy Poliwhirl.

(01:45:56):
Just thinking, you know what, ifI were to, you know what my luck
would be?
If I were to be a Pokemon, I'dbe like a Metapod.
Like that's what I would get.
You'd get Hitmonchan, I wouldget Metapod.

Cozy Snap (01:46:04):
I think the people with the reincarnation, I, like,
they I'd just be like a I don'tknow, like a carpet.

A carpet?
You can, you can reanimate as,like, non animate inanimate
objects?
I think is the term?
