The fortnightly OTA updates are simply the most effective a part of Marvel Snap; these are small quantity adjustments and tweaks to essentially the most and least performed playing cards within the sport, permitting for little meta shakeups that maintain the sport feeling recent. And this week’s OTA replace is fairly thrilling, because it comes with vital buffs for varied playing cards which have seen little to no play for months.
Here’s the complete breakdown:
Hawkeye
● [Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: If you play a card right here subsequent flip, +2 Power
● [Change] …subsequent flip, +2 Power. ->…subsequent flip, +3 Power.
Apart from a stint in Cerebro 3, Hawkeye sees subsequent to no play after gamers full the tutorial. It’s about time to provide our native archer some sharper arrows to play with. We wish to maintain Hawkeye’s base Power at 1, to maintain some fascinating texture between him and Misty Knight within the starter deck. Plus, he’s only a extra fascinating card if most of his Power is on his potential. Could Hawkeye turn into a candidate for Bounce decks that may repeatedly get the bonus off his On Reveal? He’s definitely obtained a greater shot of it now.
Hulkbuster
● [Old] 3/4 – On Reveal: Merge this card with a random pleasant card at this location.
● [Change] 3/4 -> 3/5
Hulkbuster is a singular enabler card that simply doesn’t have sufficient Power to see play. In the distant previous it’s seen play in decks with Deadpool and Multiple Man, however these days it simply doesn’t do sufficient for its Cost in comparison with different choices. We’re excited to see the place gamers make use of a buffed Hulkbuster, and for its combo potential with subsequent month’s season cross card. While a 1 Power buff doesn’t appear to be a lot, playing cards that combo with Hulkbuster multiply the bonus they get from it, so it’ll be extra impactful in follow.
Vision
● [Old] 5/7 – You can transfer this every flip.
● [Change] 5/7 -> 5/8
Vision has solely actually seen play a very long time in the past in a Lockjaw deck. He hasn’t actually discovered a house since then, and with the discharge of playing cards like Phoenix Force that fulfill related roles, Vision fell by the wayside. We’re giving him a bit extra Power to work with, whereas maintaining him under the Shang-Chi threshold at 9 Power.
Captain Marvel
● [Old] 5/6 – At the tip of the sport, transfer to a location that wins you the sport. (If potential)
● [Change] 5/6 -> 4/5
Theoretically in a meta the place Lockdown decks are prevalent, Captain Marvel ought to be an amazing device to assist easy out your board on the finish of the sport. This hasn’t been the case although, and in follow she solely sees very fringe play in Hela decks. At her present statline, Captain Marvel simply doesn’t have sufficient Power to justify her excessive Cost. Going to 4 Cost ought to give her extra places, or quite decks, to maneuver to.
Absorbing Man
● [Old] 4/3 – On Reveal: If the final card you performed has an On Reveal, copy its textual content. (if it’s in play)
● [Change] 4/3 -> 4/5
Although he has an thrilling line of textual content, Absorbing Man has struggled to discover a deck to shine in. Absorbing Man attracts quite a lot of parallels to Wong, as they share a Cost and each double On Reveals. Wong has just a few benefits although, as he will be performed proactively so he can extra effectively allow performs on turns 5 and 6. Wong additionally impacts a number of turns whereas Absorbing Man solely prompts as soon as. We’re giving Absorbing Man a sizeable chunk of Power to make him extra viable to experiment with.
Really, the one change that may very well be kinda thought of a nerf this week is the tweak to Captain Marvel’s price and energy. Getting decreased to five energy means she’s a much less impactful on the finish of the sport, however it’s price noting that you just’ll now have the ability to get her out early for those who embrace her in your Zabu decks.
