The fortnightly OTA updates are simply the perfect a part of Marvel Snap; these are small quantity modifications and tweaks to probably 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.
Right here’s the total breakdown:
Hawkeye
● [Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: For those who play a card right here subsequent flip, +2 Energy
● [Change] …subsequent flip, +2 Energy. ->…subsequent flip, +3 Energy.
Other than 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 need to maintain Hawkeye’s base Energy at 1, to maintain some attention-grabbing texture between him and Misty Knight within the starter deck. Plus, he’s only a extra attention-grabbing card if most of his Energy is on his capability. May Hawkeye change into a candidate for Bounce decks that may repeatedly get the bonus off his On Reveal? He’s definitely received 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 novel enabler card that simply doesn’t have sufficient Energy to see play. Within the distant previous it’s seen play in decks with Deadpool and A number of Man, however these days it simply doesn’t do sufficient for its Value 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. Whereas a 1 Energy buff doesn’t seem like a lot, playing cards that combo with Hulkbuster multiply the bonus they get from it, so it’ll be extra impactful in observe.
Imaginative and prescient
● [Old] 5/7 – You may transfer this every flip.
● [Change] 5/7 -> 5/8
Imaginative and prescient 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 Power that fulfill related roles, Imaginative and prescient fell by the wayside. We’re giving him a bit extra Energy to work with, whereas maintaining him beneath the Shang-Chi threshold at 9 Energy.
Captain Marvel
● [Old] 5/6 – On the finish 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 must be an incredible instrument to assist easy out your board on the finish of the sport. This hasn’t been the case although, and in observe she solely sees very fringe play in Hela decks. At her present statline, Captain Marvel simply doesn’t have sufficient Energy to justify her excessive Value. Going to 4 Value ought to give her extra places, or fairly 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
Though he has an thrilling line of textual content, Absorbing Man has struggled to discover a deck to shine in. Absorbing Man attracts a number of parallels to Wong, as they share a Value and each double On Reveals. Wong has a number of benefits although, as he could 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 Energy to make him extra viable to experiment with.
Actually, 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 should you embody her in your Zabu decks.
