Marvel Boy could also work in a Thanos deck with all those stones, it would help mitigate the drawback of having so many low power cards on the board to power up Thanos
I would feel this way but.. I'm opening for Rulk with Marvel boy, and I *might* open for Pixie in wiccan week. The key management aspect is something I suck at so much in this game.
same here, but i'm gonna get marvelboy aswell. to me wiccan is the worst card here, my ranking would be : 1 Kate 2 marvelboy 3 hulkling 4 speed 5 wiccan.
Wiccan is not flexible at all but will be fun being able to plan out a deck that takes advantage of 8 energy turn 5 or 9 on turn 6 (playing a Hope Summers lane).
Kate Bishop is going to be great and likely a fine addition to replace Snowguard in Loki deck. Because let's be real, when did you ever played Snowguard's token if you have Loki in your hand. Likely less than 15%. KB arrows at least have some good utility whether or not you have Loki in hand. And they're cheaper to play out than Snowguard's token.
Kate bishop deserves the hype, so strong and flexible. Marvel boy can output huge power across the board but I prefer stronger effect/high powered cards on the get go with not much setup. Wiccan is easier to trigger than most think but you're right that Arishem already exists. Speed can be a suprise last turn play for the cost but there are higher powered cards that people usually play last turn like 5 or 6 cost and even with other 3 costs. There are a ton of good 3 costs already so everyone needs to ask themselves: would I be able to use this new card over X, who will I cut off from my deck for this card? Hulkling randomness. Hulkling can be very surprising as last turn play and can win you the game if everything goes right but I think it is often a dead card than a good one because the random effect will not synergize with your deck or the effect will not affect the status of the game at all like a Spectrum with no ongoing. Of course we can expect a buff with him sooner than later.
quicksilver+domino+wiccan+emperor hulkling hmmm few interesting combos grandmaster? hmm alot of energy turn 6 or some discard decks. bounce decks. it will be interesting
Only opening for Marvel Boy. I’m a Thanos and Zoo enjoyer so that will be perfect. Kate Bishop is amazing because my second favorite is bounce. They will buff speed so that’s a maybe
My two deck ideas for Wiccan: Bunch of good cards + wiccan + quicksilver(only 1 cost) + hand generation Kitty + bast + hit monkey bounce stuff + domino + wiccan + havok
Plan ahead for which spotlight weeks you will spend spotlight keys/caches on. Make sure to always have at least 4 spotlight caches ready for the weeks you want to open. Also - I do a Series 4 & 5 Buy Guide Tier List video that can help you prioritize which cards to go after.
I always buy the season pass so ill take Bishop. As for the other four cards I see Marvel Boy being interesting and MAYBE Wiccan but it may be more wanting Pixie then Wiccan. Might be more key saving month then normal.
I think Kate looks fine but I’m actually a little disappointed on Kate, cause the ability to add cards to your hand is pretty… normal. I’m expect to have more unique design. For Marvel Boy, I feel that he might be the best card this season. And I think the best way to utilize him is taking Squirrel Girl + Marvel Boy as a simple package and put it into any decks other than Zoo. Put Marvel Boy in only Zoo deck is a trap. Wiccan looks like a joke after Arishem. Speed is not a bad card tbh, but just boring. Hulking looks weird for me, cause if you’re going to put a 6-cost card into your deck, it usually means that you want that specific card ability, so I’m agree with Glazer that Hulking might be a card that has no home for him.
Honestly besides marvel boy I'm not overly excited for the new cards next month and I feel like they're all skipable. Kate sounds great especially with that derpy face her basic version has.
I really think that the best deck for Wiccan its with his uncle and Domino, couple of 3s and a lot of 6s. But if you dont draw him, it kinda Mr. negative
I don't think Marvel Boy is gonna be that great honestly. People are mentioning Killmonger as a counter to him but are leaving out another card that completely shits on him and that's Red Guardian. Not to mention he's another card that gets worse the later in the game you draw/play him.
Hulkling is being looked at through the wrong lens. We should think of him as a deck thinning card. You now have 2X the possibility of drawing your Onslaught/Knull/Zola/etc during a game instead of 1X. This is a more powerful effect than ppl think and will be better in the long run of the game. Even better with energy cheat.
It's a RANDOM 6-Cost card - not a copy of a 6-Cost card in your deck. That's a 1/31 (3%) chance to get the specific "2nd copy" you need. So it's similar to a deck thinning card 3% of the time.
If wiccan week stays the same, I might open for him & pixie. Otherwise I got Valentina so pass on hulkling. Marvel boy seems fine but no need for him. So Imma save for move in sept
My problem with Wiccan is, what do you need 7 energy for on turn 5? Current synergies work fine with the energy you regularly have. I can only think of uses with High-Evo and Sunspot, but even then, you HAVE to use all your energy in turn 1 2 and 3. Maybe the card is fun when it hits, but it won't give you any consistency.
Loki decks, you wiccan on 4 and Loki 5,you have 8 energy to work with turn 6, these decks also have ways to give you cards cards to play all your energy
Arishem also gives +energy - from turn 1 - every game. Wiccan potentially gives you +energy after the first half of the game is already over - and sometimes does nothing.
Speed is Ongoing - he tracks every turn that you spent all energy regardless of where he is. Play him on turn 6 and he will look at energy spent on turns 1-6.
No - you only have access to spotlight variants in the first 4 keys if you already own the base. Otherwise, keys 5-8 unlock the second spotlight row where the variants are.
I definitely haven’t seen anyone hype Wiccan definitely not a good card. I’m glad I don’t chasing Loki I just haven’t felt the need to have him. Definitely a skip week. Along with speed.
It's a shame that so many great old cards come with these pretty meh spotlight cards. As a newer player I hope I don't hit them. Kate Bishop is great, so is Marvel Boy. Wiccan is trash, Speed I don't know where he will fit in, and Emperor Hulkling I'm not sure about, he makes a lot of 6 cost cards better, but then I wouldn't play him instead of any 6 cost, and then most decks don't run many 6 costs.
Calling this now, wiccan is gonna be a staple in Loki, and how I've seen nobody else talking about this is nuts, also him being side by side with Loki is even crazier
@@justinwaller9665 so on 4 you play wiccan, on 5 you play Loki which now gives you +2 energy and you have the -1 cost and it's the same things your opponent has
@@justinwaller9665 most of the time it'll be easy to play out all your energy with Loki since you are playing low cost cards, especially if you get snow guard since it makes a 3 cost card, kate bishop on 2 also helps this, cable, agent coulson, I could go on
Wiccan? Surfer deck. If you replace Nova and Forge with Quicksilver and Domino, Wiccan ALWAYS would activate, if your turn 3 Is a Hope Summers, you can have 7 Energy by turn 4!
put quicksilver and domino in your deck you almost never draw wiccan on time, play a regular deck and you might have wiccan on 4 but missed a turn or the opposite happen and you don't draw him on 4 or 3+psylock, either way to me wiccan is just bad will not be consistent and the payoff is not worth the effort i think, like said in this video just play arishem.
@@babonhijau1665 iron fist is 1 cost and shuri is 4 cost. Iron fist will move shuri and make clear lane with double power. As Galactus I mean Emperor Hulklings with Galactus power 😉
Marvel Boy could also work in a Thanos deck with all those stones, it would help mitigate the drawback of having so many low power cards on the board to power up Thanos
Its all fun and games until Hulkling channels Agatha for the 21st time
Here from the future, and that Kate Bishop synergy with Loki? I have bad news for you.
Very glad Kate is the season pass she’s the only one I really want and I’m saving all my keys for the spidey and venom seasons
I would feel this way but.. I'm opening for Rulk with Marvel boy, and I *might* open for Pixie in wiccan week. The key management aspect is something I suck at so much in this game.
same here, but i'm gonna get marvelboy aswell.
to me wiccan is the worst card here, my ranking would be : 1 Kate 2 marvelboy 3 hulkling 4 speed 5 wiccan.
I love the idea of using the Acid & Grapple arrow to enable Galactus plays. I also think Wiccan in Arishem is going to be busted.
not only does marvel boy look busted, but his week (if it remains unchanged) is BUSTED. Marvel Boy, Blob and Red Hulk make it a must open.
August is huge for players that recently started, like myself. I've been saving for Loki, Jeff and Iron Lad. Can't wait
Wow.😮
Young Avengers season for Young Snappers😂😂
Cant believe Wiccan makes quicksilver and domino relevant again lmao
@@Battlefieldfan146 Quicksilver, Domino and then an all Surfer deck.
Wiccan is not flexible at all but will be fun being able to plan out a deck that takes advantage of 8 energy turn 5 or 9 on turn 6 (playing a Hope Summers lane).
That Kate Bishop variant is beautiful
Some of these cards seem alright but I really wish SD's go to text wasn't 'Random'
great video docty! september definitely seems way cooler so maybe a good month to save keys.

KB arrows at least have some good utility whether or not you have Loki in hand. And they're cheaper to play out than Snowguard's token.
The only way to make wiccan worth it is if they give speed a clause similar to domino to draw him on turn 3 at least the consistency would increase

Great month to save up! Might pick up Marvel Boy, seems like he'll have his time in the sun.
Do you have any tips for a returning player? I haven't been on since dec 2022 I believe. Im pretty clueless on series 4 and 5 cards.

@@docty_snap thank you so much.
Hmmm really looking forward to trying to brew a silver surfer, marvel boy, black swan list with kate bishop
Be highly prepared for for Wiggan in destroying decks. It’s pretty suitable(my opinion anyways).

I am most excited for wiccan. Might run him in a mr negative deck. Idk how it will look like beause mr negative is limited to certain cards.
Honestly besides marvel boy I'm not overly excited for the new cards next month and I feel like they're all skipable. Kate sounds great especially with that derpy face her basic version has.
Getting season pass as always and wiggan. Saving for September.
It certainly looks like I'm only trying for the twins next month. I prefer decks that focus on more consistent synergy.
I really think that the best deck for Wiccan its with his uncle and Domino, couple of 3s and a lot of 6s. But if you dont draw him, it kinda Mr. negative

Wiccan as a Vanilla 4/5 is going to feel real bad.
Should i spend my keys for Red Hulk, cannonball, Jeff and iron land? I dont have them and i see them in a lot of meta decks :(
Yes, I definitely recommend Jeff!

Arishem also gives +energy - from turn 1 - every game.
Wiccan potentially gives you +energy after the first half of the game is already over - and sometimes does nothing.
You're not guaranteed to spend all your energy with arishem so more energy doesn't help if you have nothing useful to play.
Gwenpool, marvel boy , about to help thanos a bit , he’s still missing something , hope he’s top 3 again Soon
We know if the on reveal activate twice Kate could give you the same arrow twice?
Not confirmed by SD yet, but each On Reveal trigger should be independent.
This is the only Marvel IP where Kate freaking Bishop is more interesting than Captain America and Cyclops.
As a ftp player i feel it's getting harder and harder to get the cards i need to play
Emperor hulkling is the only card that can either end up the most annoying thing to face or the crapiest card to have as a dead draw in hand.
He's gonna be similar to copycat. Either mode or depression mode. He's gonna be a conquest card. HUGE SNAP potential but also huge dumpster potential
I wish I could get Copycat, I dont feel like spending tolkens on her and I am holding my keys for nico, loki and jeff
Doctor NEWCARDS
😎
My question for speed tho is, do you think he'll work in hand???
Speed is Ongoing - he tracks every turn that you spent all energy regardless of where he is.
Play him on turn 6 and he will look at energy spent on turns 1-6.
