Alright, got stuck in the waiting room with my wife so I checked this out. Only did the tutorial and played a single match but my impression so far is... I dunno, seems way less fun and interactive than Hearthstone. It's fast, which I guess is good? I dunno, I like games to go on as long as they need to. This comes across more like a more strategic playing card game than a trading card game or CCG.

 

Seems fine but I like a lot more depth and longer matches, and definitely more card interaction.

There’s way more card interactions as you keep playing.

It's not for you... best move on.

I'll give a little longer, but building up bigger numbers just kind of makes the whole thing feel anticlimactic compared to actually getting in there and beating an enemy.

Thanks Felicia, I'll take your sage advice into consideration.

@Xbob42 I think the first hours of Marvel Snap are kinda playing vanilla Hearthstone with a bunch of basic ass minions, and your big finisher is a fuckin’ Stormwind Champion. Fundamentally, I don’t think it’ll get to the complexity of modern Hearthstone unless they introduce more game modes, but even after just one day of playing I’ve seen games get a lot more interesting. Destroying enemy minions, draw disruption, stealing your opponent’s cards, etc. My biggest problem right now is that I’m still facing mostly idiots. I played most of the afternoon and lost one game. 
 

The one way Snap definitely beats Hearthstone is as a true mobile game. I deleted Hearthstone off my phone years ago because it felt pointless. If you’re playing anything other than pure aggro, games can easily take 10+ minutes. That’s not a problem when I’m playing on an iPad at home on my couch watching TV, but terrible if I’m trying to sneak in a quick game at work or while I’m out and about. I don’t know if that will lead to Snap actually having long term staying power, but for now I’m enjoying that more focused experience.

Just downloaded this and reached collection level 10. What is the best deck I can run at this stage?

What cards do you have? 

 

Edit: @Pikachu this will get you started

In Marvel Snap, if you're new and curious which card decks you want to start with, than this beginner decks guide is for you

 

Keep in mind you're gonna be playing against bots in the beginning that are there to teach you how to play the game supposedly and help you build your collection. Around level or 20 or so, you'll start to play more actual human players... the way bots are handled in this game sucks to be honest and is more than a little shady in my opinion.

The interaction comes later. You’re playing bots until you hit bronze rank. The matchmaking is actually determined by your collection level not rank. Different tiers of cards unlock at different collection levels. Everything is relatively basic until you hit Tier 3(collection level 400ish I think?) that’s when stuff really opens up. It becomes much more than “make numbers go up” and the combos as well as counters you can pull off are pretty insane. All that being said, you have to like it enough to get there(doesn’t take that long) but if you don’t like it now it might not be worth it to put the time in.

Climbed to rank 30 for the first time. I'm at collection level 480 and got my first infinity rarity card Iron Man which looks really cool. I got 5 decks I'm playing around with at the moment. I like Kazoo, Control, and Dino the most right now.

My highest Rank last season was 95 I think? It gets tougher the higher your collection gets so don't rush that. You're matched up against guys with similar collection levels not ranks and they don't tell you that.  My collection level is 2200 I think. @JPDunks4 is even higher. If it wasn't for this game I would have beaten God of War by now :p

This was an 8 cuber I won this morning.... My Hack-n-slash deck loves this featured location :p

I have only *just* now realized you can tell which player is going to reveal their cards first by looking at their name/avatar. If it is glowing, they will reveal cards first. Why is this never explained in-game?!?

 

Whoever is currently winning goes first each round.  So there is some strategy to that as well for counters, or trying to avoid counters.

OK so I started playing this, based on this thread. It's a neat game, but I'm not sure I'm going to continue with it. It's hard to put my finger on but there's something that just doesn't feel satisfying. Wins don't feel good and losses don't feel bad. Like, the meta is too narrow; I see the same 5'ish decks all the time with only rare deviations.  And the games have started to feel less strategic and more trump-cardy.  There's little room for counter play.  When I first started I felt like I saw a lot more variance in decks and strategies.  Now I feel like I'm playing the same match over and over. I can't remember the last match I saw something new or cool, even if it didn't work. To be fair, I'm only at like 1k collection level so maybe it opens back up at higher levels when more cards unlock, but it just feels very closed off where I am. 

 

tldr; neat game, but meta seems pretty closed which has led to boredom.

I made it up to 67 but I have only been playing a few days. How long do seasons usually last?

That's pretty impressive for only playing a couple of days. What deck are you using?

1 month. The current season ends today.

I reached Infininite for the first time the season before last. This season I'm at about 70. Gonna see how much higher I can get before the reset.
