Adam Star ~ Marvel Snap Lore @adamstar.bsky.social · 9h

I would adhere as much as I was able to: a) the MCU schedule b) the Marvel Comics schedule, but I would also c) Wrap it all in nostalgia, and also d) keep story and lore forefront. Below is a year of season themes for 2026 w/ details to follow. 🧵

Might be pretty simple that it’s “yeah you and like a dozen other people. Sorry not worth the trouble” so no judgments. Just wanted to get that out there.

Another week where Snap Judgments is YouTube only. Sigh

I don’t know the effort & economics behind why some creators choose to not put out their mostly talking shows out on podcasts but as a consumer I can definitely say not doing so leads me to interact with all your content less

Based on the mistake token bundle though boosters are like a cool 500 gold for 65. So think of the savings!

I swear to God

(Also yes this IS a lot of Neon borders)

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 14h

can they switch it to 3250 tokens for 500 gold?

ZGM is almost worth playing outside of Horde decks, but not quite. In Horde decks he now functions as desired - a likely lane winner especially paired with a 1-drop on ZSW on t6.

Overtuned in Horde? Maybe but we gotta let the season play out, get that last Horde card out there (Sentry) and see.

Zombie Giant Man!

ZGM + Zola before :

5/4 1-Cost Horde -> 5/6 2-Cost Horde & 5/7 3-Cost Horde

That's 5/5 or 11/16 YUCK!

after :

5/6 2-Cost Horde -> 5/10 4-Cost Horde & 5/12 6-Cost Horde

that's 5/8 (eh) or 11/28 (hey!)

It's not Panther but with a little Horde help it's right there.

Headpool!

A great card for Destroy, that gets its second solid 1 drop in a row. (sorry Destroy haters). Which one drop combo will be the best choosing between Nico, Agony, Headpool, and Moira is the immediate future of destroy but there are no bad choices here.

Not a buff deck card though.

Fortnight Round-Up!

Zombie Power-Man! Statted high (sorry Colleen!) everyone is convinced he's good but the stats say nope. Really a hard card to build around as deciding WHEN you discard is kind of important. But still - no effort actions are powerful.

Will Weapon H make his deck work?

He's gotta out value those guys if he wants to get in OR he's gotta get a deck that works for him better than those guys. With Weapon H and Marrow that might just happen but more likely it looks like another fringe Discard design. Ok but not the best option

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 19h

IOW : Discard decks want to discard. You should be a card that Discards or a card that wants to be discarded. Colonel America is neither. You can have 1-2 of these as well but the lower the cost the better. Morbius wins the powerhouse battle here. And Collector isn't far behind in Swarm decks.

Need/Shoud/Wait? WAIT. The card is strong but the deck doesn't exist. It might after December's season and you can wait for that.

From skeet 1 : My core belief is when you have a deck type that has cards that do something or want to have that thing done to it, that's basically your deck.

1

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 19h

Where is he now? fringe Discard decks

Future Homes / Synergies : Marrow is a card that wants to be Discarded and Weapon H is the type that comes back after Discard. Both could be pieces to the Colonel America deck.

Other cards want to see discards but don't want to BE discarded so are more risky

Anything real good? If you have the right deck & draw, with Zombie Power Man this can be an absolute powerhouse of a 3/18 that can win lanes with minimal help

Anything not work? Nothing in particular but the "right deck" has been hard to dial in and the "right draw" is up to the Snap gods.

Fortnight Follow-Up : Colonel America!

Did he technically work like we thought? Yes, no surprises

Did he strategically work like we thought? Yes, he's a discard card and one that's possibly underrated though probably not since he goes against my core belief.

ZSW is a pretty good yet boring card because it's tied to the mechanic as long as the Kitty/Elsa/Angela stuff remains a notch too underpowered. If that ever gets buffed ZSW might be a valuable piece of that but I'm not going to say you need a card based on maybes.

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 20h

Need/Should/Wait? It comes down to the hoard mechanic. If you want to play it at all you NEED her. If not, you can WAIT. If the deck were getting updates soon I might push to NEED but likely we'll see a card or two the next half-year.

Anything real good? not really

Anything not work? Bounce ideas never took off.

Where is she now? Horde decks

Future Homes / Synergies : Prowler's potential zero cost skills would fit nicely behind ZSW

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 20h

Fortnight Follow-Up : Zombie Scarlet Witch! ZSW! Zombie Shoe Warehouse!

Did she technically work like we thought? Yes, though there was a minor question on whether she'd create her own hoard (she doesn't)

Did she strategically work like we thought? Mostly - Kitty/Elsa and Merlin/Wolf Horde decks

Our rule is everyone has to be active most months. We (almost) always get the job done.

Me every month : “how do those guys stay that high in Infininte every month”

Me seeing these alliance numbers : “oh ok”

They should just do something like "If you haven't gotten inked or gold your 20th split is one of them. Your 30th split is the other"
