If you ever interview him again it would be great if he was asked tough questions about the incredibly predatory monetization practices they have adopted recently with refusing to drop cards in series at the appropriate times, and predatory bundle pricing. They have become incredibly anti-consumer recently
This was a master class in interviewing. He to it as a fan (obviously) but then was able to turn conversation into predetermined questions with seemless transitions. So great
I love how Snap tricks new players into learning basic card game stuff we take for granted. Just like they said, going from shocker to aquiring sentinel, secretly teaches you that hand size matters.
True. I remember getting Deathlok and thinking "Why would I want to destroy my cards?!". Then when I got Armor I always dropped him in her lane to avoid his ability. As I got Winter Soldier it finally clicked WHY I would want to destroy some cards.
@@connorpena373 every card game is rng based lol marvel snap is just a much more simplified card game vs like your typical card games that need 40 cards. If anything it reminds of gwent a lot but with the added locations that gives it a nice twist. In the end you still need to compile a deck that gives you multiple options of winning the game without your top combos/cards No one has time or the attention to play thru a full game of magic the gathering. Also their matchmaking is a lot better than most games. That’s what makes marvel snap fun tho and they adding more features as it goes to keep people playing. They listen to the community and I have personally only spend on two season passes and I am at collection level +2.5k so it’s def a lot cheaper than keeping up with metas IRL card games
This was such an amazing interview, you can really see Ben’s passion and enthusiasm and love for game and for marvel as a whole, and it really shines through in the game itself
Everyone says this about him but I guess I'm missing it. He seems like a caricature. Every expression and laugh feels acted/artificial. Maybe he is just this jolly guy but he seems phony to me. I suppose it doesn't really matter. I don't dislike him...if it's a grift I certainly get it.
Ben Brode is genuinely one of the most interesting person to interview ! So passionate, so interesting, so good to hang out, full of good opinions, hot takes and anecdots. Thanks Cozy, one hour never feels so quick and easy to see 😊
Is that a good thing tho? Not always. Content creators should always keep a sceptical view so they don't loose the unbiased view of how a company operates.
and yet still the game is pay to win and no creator tells him how bad the game design is.... snap is dead and people will stop play if thew cant get the new cards
@@JamboozaWhat are you talking about. He can't be friendly with them because you need them to give you an unbiased opinion? Or you could think for yourself? 🤷🏾♂️
@@Jambooza agreed. This game’s monetization and acquisition has gotten worse, and it just feels like he’s doing this to appease the people that market the game.
It’s so great to see you doing videos like this. I remember your Miguel spotlight video from DSA and how it helped me raids there and now you’re helping me reach infinite in Snap. Keep it up homie!
What an excellent vid and interview, and i think it's great that Ben came out, superb cool guys! I'm feeling the 3x Value here, and i love it!!! Keep up the gr8 work!!
I realize Cozy probably had to agree to softball questions to get the interview, but not calling Ben out on the way the game is being monetized, the absolutely predatory Darkhawk bundle that straight up lies by saying it's 3X the value, and the series drop changes pushing it into being more pay to win is extremely disappointing. Ben has crazy energy yes, but as a longtime HS player who has seen Ben's history, he just seems like a snake-oil salesman to me.
Would be tough to ask any questions from the future. This was filmed weeks ago prior to the bundle and June series drops. The Snap Team and no one for that matter have any say to what I can and cannot say on my channel. I Didn't have to agree to anything, was genuinely amped to talk about Snap and Brode after the Ion of hours I put into creating content for the game.
@@cozysnap Perfectly respectable answer from you on this. I came in saying that he's probably got some harder questions to answer which people may not want to ask but it was still an awesome video and interview and if it was recorded weeks ago then it makes total sense to not have any of that in there. Not that you're obligated to ask them anyway. Still the best Snap channel out there!
Great interview! The questions themselves weren’t always that special, but your energy and getting your interviewee comfortable really shone through and made it so memorable.
One last comment because why not. Interview Alex and Molt and Collins. You know the other snap creators. This was a phenomenal interview and frankly one of the best I've seen.
Ben seems like a really lovely bloke just living his dream. It doesn't seem like anyone who's worked with him or met him has anything bad to say about him and his love for gaming even if you don't like the business model of Hearthstone or Snap is undeniable. We need more people like Ben in gaming and less like Bobby Kotick.
Im also one of the guys who dont even play card game but got into marvel snap. What I like about it is its easy to understand, no wall of text and the matches are super quick. The only thing that I remember that confused me was the who flips first mech and how it works
Nice one. BUT... ... I would love to see also an interview with serious and uncomfortable questions. Things which are going on with the game, their decisions etc. Maybe for the next time?!
Amazing video as usual Cozy! I was surprised to hear you mention Smite! Been playing that since 2012 and it was a pleasant surprise to hear you played it too! Thanks for all the awesome content!
So excited to see two of you talking Snap. With your combined energy you could probably substite a nuclear power plant or two. Listening to each of you separately brings me joy, looking forward to be overjoyed! :-)
I always love watching interviews with Ben Brode. He reminds me of my buddies from home and just an all around nice guy. Great interview, Cozy. Hope to see more!
I wish Konami would talk to the yugioh playerbase even just a little, and here we have Ben basically just being one of us that just so happens to make the game and talk with us
Dude, I'm the guy who bought the Dan Hipp Howard the Duck original drawing! 😂 Was definitely not expecting to get called out in the middle of this interview! I, too, set an alarm and had my heart set on getting it, and was super happy that I did. At the previous drop I missed out on everything I wanted, so I feel your pain. I'll let you know if I ever sell it! Great interview and content in general by the way, I watch your videos all the time and really enjoyed this.
Seeing Brode’s Marvel card collection took me back. I had all of those. And of course that White Queen card that Cozy noticed was my favorite card… for obvious reasons.
@@cozysnap ah, all good then! Hopefully someone does get a chance to ask something about especially those two topics, so we could see some important transparency.
That’s so awesome that Ben mentioned those trading cards! I loved collecting them as a kid. As fun as Snap is to play, I love the game more for just collecting the variants because it reminds me of those trading cards.
Are you a Star Wars Guy? Ben: I'm not really sure, I have seen all the movies. Also, my grandfather has an academy award for working on Star Wars and my Uncles got to sit in the Falcon...

Congratulations Cozy! This is awesome!
If you ever interview him again it would be great if he was asked tough questions about the incredibly predatory monetization practices they have adopted recently with refusing to drop cards in series at the appropriate times, and predatory bundle pricing. They have become incredibly anti-consumer recently
No question about card aquisition and flexible series drop?
0 questions about any of the problems the game is going through, didn't know u sold urself, u fell off
You got a real future in entertainment beyond TH-cam, Cozy. That was great.
Cozy: Is a hot dog a sandwich?
Ben Brode: "It's also a salad"
Honestly I love this chaos😂
I'm still trying to figure the salad part out.
@@DarkseidTCGthink it’s cause its mixed meats combined to make a singular meal?? My only guess. It’s obviously like a half joke but yea😂
Happy Fathers Day Gents! 🫡
Thanks brother happy father day to you too
Happy late father's day cozy!
This was a master class in interviewing. He to it as a fan (obviously) but then was able to turn conversation into predetermined questions with seemless transitions. So great
If only there would be less meatriding and more proper questions.
cozy’s superpower is bringing out the absolute best in the people around him. outstanding interview!
Cozy really brings the best snap content on TH-cam
He really does. Aside from my comments that may seem negative, he really does do the most informative videos for the game.
Man really got Ben brode on call
Easy
Chill bro you don’t have to spit facts.
Cozy and Bynx run the snap game, we are just extras lol
I love how Snap tricks new players into learning basic card game stuff we take for granted. Just like they said, going from shocker to aquiring sentinel, secretly teaches you that hand size matters.
True. I remember getting Deathlok and thinking "Why would I want to destroy my cards?!". Then when I got Armor I always dropped him in her lane to avoid his ability. As I got Winter Soldier it finally clicked WHY I would want to destroy some cards.
Shocker being the equivalent of Yeti.
It doesn’t teach people anything the game is pure rng more than the average card game. You have to play completely different than most card games

@@MrTouchstone86you‘re 100% right. I can smell the phoniness through the screen
He’s been like this even back in hearthstone development (mainly earlier). You two are looking for something that is not there.
Hearing Ben saying he went back and watched everything and read everything is so amazing it truly shows how dedicated he was
Ben Brode has a 20 in charisma. I'm jealous.
Cozy is a incredible host man, his jokes always land
Loved this Cozy! Many thanks to Ben Brode himself for coming over!! such a treat to Marvel Snap fans such as me
Ben Brode is genuinely one of the most interesting person to interview !
So passionate, so interesting, so good to hang out, full of good opinions, hot takes and anecdots.
Thanks Cozy, one hour never feels so quick and easy to see 😊
And so honest! He‘d never implement cashgrab stuff into the game
AWESOME! I laughed SO much! I loved the look into the early physical cards and play!
I’ve never seen a game developer interact with so many content creators and the fans of the game
Is that a good thing tho? Not always.
Content creators should always keep a sceptical view so they don't loose the unbiased view of how a company operates.
and yet still the game is pay to win and no creator tells him how bad the game design is.... snap is dead and people will stop play if thew cant get the new cards
@@JamboozaWhat are you talking about. He can't be friendly with them because you need them to give you an unbiased opinion? Or you could think for yourself? 🤷🏾♂️
Regardless of your opinion on the game or decisions on the game it’s cool seeing him interact with fans and content creators.
@@Jambooza agreed. This game’s monetization and acquisition has gotten worse, and it just feels like he’s doing this to appease the people that market the game.
I just realized. We never got Cozy's favorite board game.
33:16 god ben brodes laugh is so contagious
It’s so great to see you doing videos like this. I remember your Miguel spotlight video from DSA and how it helped me raids there and now you’re helping me reach infinite in Snap. Keep it up homie!
I imagine Ben Broode laughing manically everytime someone buys a darkhawk bundle for $50AU
😂
Everyone buying that is legit braindead
I admire you Cozy, for your strength to stay polite during the "The Last Jedi" moment.
Literally foaming at the mouth over here.
Based Brode
@@Ekke-MarkusMuttika haven’t got there yet but if he says positive things about then Most definitely not based
Last Jedi is actually the best one of the new generation
@@colher1234 it is literally the worst by far
What an excellent vid and interview, and i think it's great that Ben came out, superb cool guys! I'm feeling the 3x Value here, and i love it!!! Keep up the gr8 work!!
just like the pay to win darkhawk bundle, 3x value!
As always Cozy brings the most entertaining and best looking content in the Marvel Snap community. Very fun and entertaining interview.
Homelander's twin brother--Airplane lander
"were not trying to write a novel here on the card" yugioh devs could never
Broo this content was great!! Mr Ben is super cool
Cozy Snap is a really fantastic interviewer. If the US ever gets a good president again, Cozy should interview her.
Also it's what's up with the alt channel & "Molt" persona you're messing around with. Honestly I don't like it.
I realize Cozy probably had to agree to softball questions to get the interview, but not calling Ben out on the way the game is being monetized, the absolutely predatory Darkhawk bundle that straight up lies by saying it's 3X the value, and the series drop changes pushing it into being more pay to win is extremely disappointing.

Cozy: I can only get 3 hours a night..not every night...but if I'm lucky.
As a dad, I fully relate to this.
Big thank you for this interview !! This was awesome.
Man, great presentation and the entertainment value, the questions asked... all top notch. Love this channel!
That was a really fun podcast, very much enjoyed!

Amazing discussion and interview. Happy Fathers Day as well!
Nice one.
BUT...
... I would love to see also an interview with serious and uncomfortable questions. Things which are going on with the game, their decisions etc. Maybe for the next time?!
Some of the best content I’ve ever seen on TH-cam. We’re lucky to have ya’ Cozy.
My favorite part was when I got a taco bell ad right when you were showing Pixel M.O.D.O.K.😂
Amazing video as usual Cozy!
I was surprised to hear you mention Smite! Been playing that since 2012 and it was a pleasant surprise to hear you played it too!
Thanks for all the awesome content!
Wow, the marketing opportunities for Snap really are great when the Creator has no scruples at all :D
I'm just having this in background while working and Cozy made me laugh out loud with: YOU EAT GREEN HOT DOGS
So excited to see two of you talking Snap. With your combined energy you could probably substite a nuclear power plant or two. Listening to each of you separately brings me joy, looking forward to be overjoyed! :-)
This is my fav marvel snap content, I want that challenge video asap!
wow, cozy. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 another banger congrats
Dude this is awesome!! Well deserved getting to interview Ben Brode, and loved the interactions - he seems like such a genuinely happy guy
Great thumbnail man 👊
Yes!!! More of this please!!!
Great Video Cozy 💪
roflmao the flannel background for Ben’s side of the screen. ❤️
I feel like Cozy has made it now. You definitely deserve 100K subs!
20:45 Holy shit he played OverPower too! 😮
There are dozens of us!
@@Conduit23 Funny how leech was an issue back in that game too huh?
The energy, the fun. It was pure solid entertainment. Can’t believe I enjoyed an hour video that was barely about actual gameplay!
This dude is so happy it's infectious xD
Ask him why monetisation is so ridiculous tho
I love that Ben took the time to chop it up w Cozy. Great interview:)
Awesome interview, this was great. Both these guys are stars
I always love watching interviews with Ben Brode. He reminds me of my buddies from home and just an all around nice guy. Great interview, Cozy. Hope to see more!
This interview was awesome! Thanks Cozy.
Woah! this is big. Good stuff getting this interview cozy, can't wait to watch
Excited for this
When Ben said Merchants of Amsterdam, I knew he was legit.
i would like to own this marvel snap hoodie Ben is in !!!!
Great Vid Cozy and Ben!
Cozy, you killed this interview man. Incredible job!
Ok, this is legit amazing
There wasn't a single non-Second Dinner approved question asked

My only issue with this video is that it ended.

Great interview. So funny that he bought all the old Marvel trading cards.
This is awesome. Love the fact that he has the Marvel cards.
Brings me back to a kid.
Thank you so much
This is your best content ever and it’s not even close keep it going
Such a great interview! Cozy as a host is great and Ben always with the best vibes! I'd love to see this happen again in the future.
Seeing Brode’s Marvel card collection took me back. I had all of those.
And of course that White Queen card that Cozy noticed was my favorite card… for obvious reasons.

Great interview. I do wish there had been some more pressing questions, like Knull and Darkhawk staying in Pool 4, and *that* Darkhawk Bundle…
This was filmed weeks ago
@@cozysnap ah, all good then! Hopefully someone does get a chance to ask something about especially those two topics, so we could see some important transparency.

That was amazing
I love Ben's laugh.
Great interview Cozy. Expected nothing less.
This is such a cool interview. I loved seeing the printed protoype cards

I see Ben Brode, and I click. What an awesome guy to have lead your team and be the face of the game!
It's amazing that this content is free, great interview Cozy!
