I can see it landing with minor disappointment having it be very good in a few spots but not dominant there and not much use elsewhere.

So the card is going to be very flexible in low to the ground decks and maybe afflict. But how good will it be? I'm not sure. It really depends on getting out on curve and on your opponent playing something afflicted to make it really worth it. A staple in some decks but far from universal.

Then of course there's the afflict synergy. As opposed to the low power - try to afflict them enough this can fit into a afflict version that tries to win with power - Ajax, Laufey, Ikari sure maybe with a Big Scorp finish occasionally.

Cheap cards specifically fit with the Kitty/Thena style of decks that often end up with Shou-Lao finishes. Black Swan- Hit-Monkey? Lockheed in a true slowly bleed them out deck?

So this is a card for specific game plans but within those it can really shine. There are a lot of options here. We just saw how cheap On-Reveals can power WWBN decks. 1-Cost On-Reveals also scream Joaquin Torres. This might be what gets him over the top

All indications is this is a good card but it does depend on some good deck building. Just spending energy and playing spears only makes this a 6/10 with a lot of off-tempo plays. So you are dependent on your opponent putting the afflicted cards in play to get to a 6/16 max, which is... meh?

"Welcome Vampire Killmonger!" or "Something something THRONE, Bleh, bleh-bleh!" 2/2 : EOT: If you spent all your energy this turn, add a Vampiric Spear to your hand Vampiric Spear 1-Cost Skill : On-Reveal steal 2 power from a card in opponent's hand Will VK the meta or will he just... suck?

As we approach a new season of Marvel Snap, the Bluesky Alliance is looking for a few new members to fill out the ranks. Low key, play as much or as little as you want. The only reason we've cleared spots is people dropping the game. We're still clearing the alliance goal regularly. [BLU] Bluesky

It's an all-around good card that will find its way into good decks. It's already in move as far as I'm concered. And I think someone is going to find a better place for it

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

For 1 traditional move it's not the only way to play FNC. The slightly easier Stomper/Batroc decks as noted before can use him With Lin Lie it's a 5/19 min It's an almost certain Tarantula proc It's a solid surprise card It can do RedWing/Multiple Man stuff It can move lots of stuff into Prof X

2) In a Cowboy Thanos meta (still) it's a card that leaves itself exposed to the orange shot a decent amount of the time. 3) In a Cowboy Thanos meta a general good mid-range card.. well it goes in Thanos. You can mitigate 2 by smart playing but I guess if you aren't inclined to learn move...

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

Others might think of it as a WAIT but I think they are well underestimating a card that provides reach and is almost always a 3/8+. What's fueling the discrepancy? A few things 1) People don't like playing move even when it's the best. It's a lot of planning and placement and can intimidate

100

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

Where is it now? Traditional Move and some Batroc/Stomper move decks. Occasionally thrown in as a 3/8 or 3/10 card but not the best idea Need/Should/Wait? SHOULD. I'm torn here because I play it and can see it as a NEED but if you aren't going to play traditional move do you need it? Maybe not.

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

Anything real good? There's a lot good but nothing broken about this car because of the set-up needed. Anything not work? There was hope that Carnage might revive or inspire some non-standard move decks. Multiple Man ones. Move Bounce. But it didn't do that. Sorry?

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

Fortnight Follow-Up : Friendly Neighborhood Carnage Did it technically work like we thought? Yes - worth noting again he will only gain power if cards move. Did it strategically work like we thought? Yes and No. Yes it fit well into move strategies but no it didn't breathe life into lesser ones.

Weekend Snap Design Thought : old America Chavez was simply Quicksilver / Domino at a higher cost. That she was too good and these cards are generally bad posits there exists a cost where this ability would be fine and that’s what they should have explored with the card.

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Weekender 10/2 : The synergy between QOS and SIM is not great but it does exist. It's name is Shou-Loa. Find a QOS deck that uses him and throw SIM in that and that's probably your best bet. There's also a Horsey Gambit - Mother Askani - SIM thread you can pull at.

Also on Blink - i don't like the theoretical deck building reasons for hitting something. Blink was around for 2 years before really getting problematic with this deck. That should inform us the problem really isn't Blink Like when Starlord was hot people calling for GM and Abs Man nerfs

Colossus isn't garbage especially in Sanctum but I'm not going to say he's good either.

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yeah but I didn't feel any unfairness in that. Even in the Hela days, it turned out - surprise! - they ultimately had to nerf Hela. That's my impression of what will happen with high cost win cons. Consistency will be found so you are going to have to tune it correctly or keep whacking moles

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I'm not enjoying this Draft as much as the last one but I also didn't love the last one, so... OTA : I think it'll help the meta move forward. I think they did functionally hit the Big Scorp deck hard and I don't think we know about Cowboy Thanos. But hate they killed a card and archtype to do it

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No probably not. At least with the casual fanbase they are trying to keep up.

020

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Kluh gets buffed. Good now do a lot of other 5s. Arrow is buffed to help Kate. That’s reasonable. Every card she creates now is just really good… but she lags. But at 2/4 might be too good. Tough met to balance at the lower levels. 1/4 Grapple?

001

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Destroys get power but in this you see an issue. You can’t buff Destroy cards and help ZCM. Sure the Bucky destroyed is bigger but so is The Winter Soldier you don’t want to destroy. That card needs targeting. Like she won’t destroy cards with her power or more

100

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Speaking of taking strays. Their inability or unwillingness to tame Big Scorp means dramatic nerfs for two cards Tao only became functional after dropping to 2-Cost. It’s right back to unusable Blink needs to hit bigger cost cards to work well in her decks. Does Ramp deserve less than Big Scorp?

100

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Jane takes a needed bullet - there is a power level that will work and 3/3 might be it. Domino takes a stray. Trying to toss Wiccan in here is a joke. This has nothing to do with that guy.

100

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

So if the aim is to keep him from going over 3 often all that’s doing is nerfing him from the best 5-cost in the game to the best 5-Cost in the game that was better before. What bothers me here is they note the flexibility as a positive but then do the usual “make him niche” nerf.

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

OTA Stream O’ Cowboy Thanos loses his pre-loaded shot This is a change. It does make him worse but how much is a question we’ll just have to play through. I think SD is underestimating the strength here as green, red, and orange all usially make him a “competitive mid range card” by themselves.

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

That's a harsh take. I say as I do every OTA - MAKE HIM A 2/3!!!! Oh wait, you aren't talking about Thaddeus Ross?

If I lose a draft bc the opponent out builds/drafts me and then it shows in the gameplay. That's ok. That's the name of the game. If I lose in Draft mode bc the computer gave my opponent better choices. That's not ok. That's just RNG. Snap Draft is just roll decks until RNG works for you

010

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

My take away from this draft compared to last one is that it's more fun to lose with a good deck that runs into a broken one than it is to lose with a crap deck that runs into a somewhat functional one. Again though - all the bad feelings in draft are because it's not draft...

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

People aren't up on this card as they should be. Sure the Lin Lie stuff but the easy Tarantula/Fisk deck play, the possible Skaar interaction. Personally I've just run him in classic move with whatever tech card is demanded to stop the comboers, and it rolls. But people find move tough

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

It’s all I’ve won with. Granted only 4 runs

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I've had luck with Ramp usually the "cheap" card there is a winner but the very early cards in the deck can be duds so you have to be careful.

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I'm guessing the randomness means it falls a little flat but not as bad as it could be because free is very good.

030

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Personally with no guarantees on what happens and where I think you have to just stikc with what you know will work - Werewolf, Nick Scratch, Bishop, and you go in the Venus direction or in the Shou-Lao direction. You probably have Merlin, you maybe have Kate, maybe a Collector.

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

So I'm not feeling any of those. From there you can look for in skill synergy, but you have to lean into that idea. It can't just be a couple cards and hoping for it to work. Like several cause affliction but you are still more likely NOT to see one of those so you can't just deck say Diamondback

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Other cards are tricky. Mad Thinker gets pretty beefy but also man filling your hand sucks. Devil Dino / Kahhori can benefit from big hands of cards you don't want to play but we are probably angling to play them, right? Angela likes free plays on her but a few would do something unwanted to her.

110

blueskysnapper.bsky.social @blueskysnapper.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

Bishop is sort of a throw-in but since you'll also want low cost On-Reveals in general that works with Bishop too. Collector might be ok as well - you'll probably have Kate and Merlin here. At this point maybe Venus, too as she makes all these pop in a more effective way.
