I love that Brian caught on to the cooler looking split = more played card and that KM had to start slipping in other variants LOL. Great video KM, loved it!
It's crazy how accurate he was on some of these. Practically described the discard deck's last two turns of the game perfectly without seeing a single other card other than MODOK
Damn, Brian seems like a great dude. I've never played Magic so I don't know much about him or the game but he seems like a pleasure to speak to and the CCG knowledge definitely shone through his words.
when I first played magic, I got beaten 10 game in a rows, but I had so much fun and keep coming back for more. I think it's because I'm an Yugioh player and Magic is the first card game that actually let me play through some turns and try to do something without getting combo to death in first turn. And the 11th game I somehow pulled off an insane combo with a card I stole from opponent GY and it feels so great.
A little more context to Kang is that the whole community did think Kang was gonna be game breaking and damn good. So his initial guess wasn’t different from the snap community’s
Oh hells yeah! I absolutely love this style of video, please keep doing these with different card game players. For Pokemon you should get AzulGG, hes the top NA player
What’s great about this video is that it’s giving us a lot of new perspective. With the current meta and so many OTAs, often times we are bottled into thinking too much about the meta cards.
Overall really solid analysis. A few missteps, but they were often the same mistakes that long-time Snap players made before cards came out, such as my boy David Haller aka Legion.
I can’t believe this was over an hour, I would have watched Brian rate cards for longer. I hope he’s checking the comments and seeing the love he’s getting.
its amazing how immediately he clocked in on why loki broke the game even faster than some snap players god its also amazing how he was spot on about how people thought about legion before they actually used the card. insanely smart dude AND CALLING OUT THANOS! GOD DAMN
FIRE VIDEO. First ever comment on youtube after 15 years just cause of how much I liked this. BBD was always one of my favorite MTG content creators, especially his SCG articles around 2016-2018. So much good sh** I can't even get into all the complement I want to give. That read on Thanos + Loki interaction was insane by BBD. Most impressive card review of this sort on YT by far. Respect to a legendary player.
I didn't even notice how fast an hour went by! This was an absolutely amazing video and I watched every last second of it. BBD honestly looks like a very cool and fun guy! His takes were so good too! No wonder he is a world champion! His CCG knowledge was definitely showing through here. Great video KM, I REALLY enjoyed this. Thanks! Have a Great Day/Night!
Definitely one of the best marvel snap videos I've ever had the pleasure to watch! Was very fun, probably also informative for beginners and ofc I watched it till the end! I'd like more videos like this :)
This was really fun to watch. When I saw the video is more then an hour long, I thought - "what was KM thinking", but near the end of it I couldn't believe its almost over.
came to this video after the algo showed me the other pro magic one you did. i LOVE them, please do more like this if you can find great people who havent played snap
No way, I love the guy! I listened to their podcast every week when I played MTGA a couple years back. (I was following you too btw.) I'm only halfway through, but I had to comment! : )
Yeah, I had a bunch of other stuff to do, but I simply couldn't stop watching this. Brilliant stuff! Here is hoping he starts playing! Would be so fun! : ))
Of course I made it to the end haha this was great content. So interesting watching someone not familiar. His argument for quake lowkey had me consider playing around with her haha. Shutting of a citadel, or deaths domain could be good, especially in conquest. Also finding out your passion for football made you rank higher on my creators list loll Go Browns!!
It ultimately doesn't matter too much, bc Kang overall is not widely usable, but Alex Coccia really showed how powerful that effect *can* be in the right deck, kinda wish you coulda covered that a bit
I love this format in other card games. Please do more of them! BBD was a great choice, blast from the past. I think breaking down what stats should be for cost is a great call if you want to let a card gamer leverage their experience and I'm really glad you did that here.
I am surprised about how interesting and insightful this video was. It delves deep into theory and mechanics in a lighthearted way that I didn't expect to learn that much from.
The most likely reason that the Time Stone is formatted differently is that it is a specific sequence that none of the other stones follow. They all do an effect and draw a card, but the time stone does not do an effect now, it does it later. What you DO do now is draw a card. So the sequence becomes, Draw a card. Next turn, you get +1 energy.
It's not terribly surprising to see BBD do well on this, seeing as he's been world class at several card games, not just MtG. That said, he pretty much just crushed it
Hey, I recently watched your ___ Rates Marvel SNAP Cards series, I really enjoy it, keep up the good work. I don't play SNAP but it was actually interesting to watch. I hope you do more of this content.
This was a fun "not meta" related video to listen to. I respect people who have that knack of picking up games and their mechanics so quickly and intuitively figuring out best/worst things in them.
Love the vid so cool seeing the tcg intuition at work. It would be really fun to have him watch you play and go through the thought process and interaction, kind of like a "KM introduces and tutors the future best in snap"
This was a fascinating video! Really enjoyed the different perspective and analysis. I also enjoyed the format but you definitely need to hide your good variants in the future!
Good video. Would love a behind the scenes on videos like these. I like watching ya talk shot with knowledgeable tcg folks But really good video. Make it a series
The man straight up explained the context and game around the cards just by guessing at it. He doesn't even need to play SNAP he already beat the game.
I think one thing to add for Modok is that Snap is more like Hearthstone in the fact that there's no interface to choose a card you wish to discard. MtG lets you choose cards by default, adding "at random" if it's random. Snap is the opposite, where it's random by default and more targetted if that's on the card effect. Modok, however, is never random because it's your entire hand.
So i don't have Kang, but i've always wondered if he enabled another card draw if you drew him on the turn you play him. What i see is a Chavez without the power, but ability to foresight the opponents gameplan. And after you've seen it, you effectively draw a new card, which in turn can win you the game, potentially? Ill have to play with him myself to debunk my theory, but we will see!
I never thought about it like that, but I definitely remember Quicksilver "teaching" me that lesson. I got to a point early in my time with the game where I was like, "oh it's actually okay to not play a card on every turn".
Oh whoa, I didn’t know BBD won the World Championship! He was one of the chill nice content creators and competitors when I following Magic great to see him here!
I feel like this would have been better if he could have seen a basic game with base cards to understand how the turns work and priority. He clearly was trying to understand how the game fundamentally worked with turns as it isn't like magic as it is priority-based. Otherwise great video.
I was wondering when Snap would join the “expert in another game evaluates this game’s cards” trend. This did not disappoint. That said I thought I’d have a lot of quibbles with the “correct” evaluation after the first couple. Werewolf is very good but part of that comes with its relative newness to the game and the meta not having really adjusted to it. And while Vulture is decidely less good, I wouldn’t really call it a bad card as such. It still regularly appears in decks focused on moving cards as a strategy.
Good video, I’m still at about 50 mins into the video but wanted to comment that what I think makes Legion so busted is the fact that there are cards (Storm and Magik) that create a specific location that you can either multiply or shut off with Legion which is how I see him used most, to cheat out win conditions.
Is there a way I can like this multiple times?! I love BBD. I followed his MTG career for years. If he was at an event, I was studying his lists, watching his gameplay, all of it. Very cool to see him doing something like this.
This was one of the most enjoyable snap videos I’ve seen. Thanks for putting this together. Your content is great. Also I just realised chavez cost and power is 6-9 like your rank 69 hahaha
Would love to see BBD in the future. Or just other fantastic card players in general. Really fun to see the perspectives of some of the best in their respective games that have similar thought patterns
Super cool video. I really would have liked seeing his analysis of Galactus. There are very few cards in Marvel snap that really allow (or force..) you to pursue another win condition. Magic has milling or weird stuff like poison at some points in time, I wonder what he would have guessed about the recent and original versions of the card.
56:12 just a side tangent because I recalled this occurring. But, recently having collected Iron Lad and Kang, putting them into a trivial deck so to speak, I have top decked Iron Lad to see that Kang was the top card on the deck, played Kang, and thinned my deck to get the thing I needed, however I forgot if it was the power stone or Thanos. (Info: one of the locations was Limbo, and I’m pretty sure I had the card that increases the mana for you by one on this turn, or maybe I had Wave)
Auto sub after watchin this video. Very interesting to know the POV of someone not playing the game and it was very entertaining too. Great idea you had there. Please keep coming with new ways to analyse this game. Good work sir.
Great video. Would have liked to see some of the cards put up as pairs and asked him to compare them. I think it would have facilitated the conversation toward discussing overall game principles to compare WWBN to Vulture from the start.
The first time i played against KM best in game, i only noticed since all his cards were purple. I remember even thinking "This guy thinks he is KM... oh." Never change that, makes ya stand out.
I put Quicksilver in my decks where most of the other cards are high-cost, to prevent me from missing a T1 drop. "Why not just balance your deck better?" you may ask. And the answer is: because that deck is used only to quickly complete missions that require a bunch of 4, 5, or 6 drops to be played, without caring about winning 😂 It's Quicksilver, Domino, Magik, and the rest of the cards are "whatever cost I need for the current mission".
What would be interesting is if you had the balls to use the cards that the magic player thought were good and trying to see if players just had the wrong philosophy regarding the card, like them saying Quake has a powerful effect. Maybe she does and just no one has been using her right, I'm sure if you tried some janky Lockout combos with Storm, you could trick your opponent into dumping thinking they can take the location and them get it somewhere else. And after that if the card is still bad you should be able to understand why the card is bad and where it needs improvement. And again like you said with Quake, you don't want to snap on Quake because it's unreliable, then how difficult would it be for the player to play Quake to manually move the locations, would that be too strong. Maybe, but it certainly makes her a better card to run with if you can take advantage of that effect.
Dude, one of the best Marvel SNAP videos I've seen. Was awesome to see someone on his level of card games figure it out so quick.
I love that Brian caught on to the cooler looking split = more played card and that KM had to start slipping in other variants LOL. Great video KM, loved it!
Awesome video! I rarely get to see a great player go through the initial learning process like this. It's a real treat. Welcome to the game, Brian.
You STARTED with Werewolf By Night??? Yeesh, threw that poor guy in the deep end. 😅😅
It's crazy how accurate he was on some of these. Practically described the discard deck's last two turns of the game perfectly without seeing a single other card other than MODOK
Damn, Brian seems like a great dude. I've never played Magic so I don't know much about him or the game but he seems like a pleasure to speak to and the CCG knowledge definitely shone through his words.
You would probably enjoy magic if you like snap. It just takes more time (and money if you get into it), and is far more complex.
@@MoyeBoy420MTG Arena is free to play, but its so much more than SNAP for casuals.
@@eannane8712 I've played it. but if you've played real Magic it's just not the same without other players there with you.
when I first played magic, I got beaten 10 game in a rows, but I had so much fun and keep coming back for more. I think it's because I'm an Yugioh player and Magic is the first card game that actually let me play through some turns and try to do something without getting combo to death in first turn. And the 11th game I somehow pulled off an insane combo with a card I stole from opponent GY and it feels so great.
A little more context to Kang is that the whole community did think Kang was gonna be game breaking and damn good. So his initial guess wasn’t different from the snap community’s
I mean, Kang was meta defining for a while.
Ya it's the same thing with Legion he thought exactly what most of the community thought
Rarran really started a wave 😂 nice to see you continue it I love these type of videos
i probably owe that mf royalties he's a genius
in a 12 card deck where you only have 1 copy of any given card, Ironlad is a second copy of any one of those cards. Bonkers powerful
Super fun video. As a long time MTG player, it was fun to see BBD translate some of the MTG heuristics to Snap
Oh hells yeah! I absolutely love this style of video, please keep doing these with different card game players. For Pokemon you should get AzulGG, hes the top NA player
So cool that you got Northernlion to collab
KM I really enjoy that you struggled to keep a poker face throughout this stream when I was watching. lol
yeah he couldnt see my face so i got to react
What’s great about this video is that it’s giving us a lot of new perspective. With the current meta and so many OTAs, often times we are bottled into thinking too much about the meta cards.
Overall really solid analysis. A few missteps, but they were often the same mistakes that long-time Snap players made before cards came out, such as my boy David Haller aka Legion.

its amazing how immediately he clocked in on why loki broke the game even faster than some snap players
god its also amazing how he was spot on about how people thought about legion before they actually used the card. insanely smart dude
AND CALLING OUT THANOS! GOD DAMN
I have seen this style of video before, but this is the best one that I have ever seen for any card game!
That was a refreshing piece of content, thank you for that!
Amazing video. Love BBD and both his analysis and your insight on why cards actually were good or bad were amazing. What a treat of a video.
I remember seeing Kawa do this a couple times with a Hearthstone pro, and this was equally cool to see.
I love videos like this. Surprised we haven’t gotten more of them from the Snap community.
FIRE VIDEO. First ever comment on youtube after 15 years just cause of how much I liked this. BBD was always one of my favorite MTG content creators, especially his SCG articles around 2016-2018. So much good sh** I can't even get into all the complement I want to give.

Nice to see BBD, not been deep into MTG for a while but I used to read some of his articles and enjoy watching him play at events.
More videos like this please! It was so fun it didn't even feel like an hour!
came to this video after the algo showed me the other pro magic one you did. i LOVE them, please do more like this if you can find great people who havent played snap
Started that man on one of the most involved cards lol. Ease em in 😅
No way, I love the guy! I listened to their podcast every week when I played MTGA a couple years back. (I was following you too btw.)

I came in with low expectations for a video like this but was blown away by how interesting this was.
This was great. Gives me insight on how to evaluate cards.

Shutting of a citadel, or deaths domain could be good, especially in conquest. Also finding out your passion for football made you rank higher on my creators list loll Go Browns!!
Not "shut off" you know what I mean loll cut off their benefits essentially
It ultimately doesn't matter too much, bc Kang overall is not widely usable, but Alex Coccia really showed how powerful that effect *can* be in the right deck, kinda wish you coulda covered that a bit

First time watching your non podcast stuff, really enjoyed this! Was really expecting the card after Kang to be Daredevil lol
The best video I have ever seen on snap content creation. I love this kinds of videos. Good job KM. You are killing it.
Huge brian fan. This is great.
What a quality video! This is so enjoyable and informative to watch, a completely other aspect of Marvel Snap video’s. 10/10 content my guy
Yoooo I haven't seen Brian Braun-Duin since old SCG days. This was an awesome video! Thanks for this!
The most likely reason that the Time Stone is formatted differently is that it is a specific sequence that none of the other stones follow. They all do an effect and draw a card, but the time stone does not do an effect now, it does it later. What you DO do now is draw a card. So the sequence becomes, Draw a card. Next turn, you get +1 energy.
This was so fun to watch, would love to see more
Big ups bbd, used to love versus back in the cvm days and beyond😍
KM I am impressed by your mtg / general card game knowledge. Lots of great analogies in this. This is probably one of my favorite vids from you!
This is such a cool video, pure joy. Thank you!
It's not terribly surprising to see BBD do well on this, seeing as he's been world class at several card games, not just MtG. That said, he pretty much just crushed it
man this was amazing, very cool to see his thought process on the cards
Really great video, KM! I love to hear game theory discussions and learned a lot about the Snap cards discussed during this convo. Well done.
Hey, I recently watched your ___ Rates Marvel SNAP Cards series, I really enjoy it, keep up the good work. I don't play SNAP but it was actually interesting to watch. I hope you do more of this content.
BBD and KMB is the crossover I never knew I needed
Give me the good ole’ days of Magic with static orb/opposition and a merfolk blitz *shakes fist in air while yelling at cloud*
Absolutely loved the video! I would love to see you do more videos like this either with Brian or other people
stay tuned
Been enjoying some BBD since the scg Vs series, always been a cool guy, wicked video!!
52:40 another thing for quake is that locations are typically common and low impact so shuffling them most often does nothing.
This was a fun "not meta" related video to listen to. I respect people who have that knack of picking up games and their mechanics so quickly and intuitively figuring out best/worst things in them.
Love the vid so cool seeing the tcg intuition at work. It would be really fun to have him watch you play and go through the thought process and interaction, kind of like a "KM introduces and tutors the future best in snap"

51:16 the fist pump from KM here psychically played Star Lord's "got 'em" in my head. 😅
The Adam Warlock change I want to see is him becoming a 2/1 with the effect "On Turns 3 & 4, Draw A Card If You Are Winning Here".
Good video.
Would love a behind the scenes on videos like these. I like watching ya talk shot with knowledgeable tcg folks
But really good video.
Make it a series
i barely edited anything out lol
@@KMBestInASnap fair enough.
Either way good video
The man straight up explained the context and game around the cards just by guessing at it. He doesn't even need to play SNAP he already beat the game.
Quake is also affected by the fact that on turn 2, you dont know what the third location is yet.
I think one thing to add for Modok is that Snap is more like Hearthstone in the fact that there's no interface to choose a card you wish to discard. MtG lets you choose cards by default, adding "at random" if it's random. Snap is the opposite, where it's random by default and more targetted if that's on the card effect.

And after you've seen it, you effectively draw a new card, which in turn can win you the game, potentially?
Ill have to play with him myself to debunk my theory, but we will see!
Doing werewolf as the first card without explaining half the rules was tough.
Didnt even know the deck size requirements or what on reveal was.
I never thought about it like that, but I definitely remember Quicksilver "teaching" me that lesson. I got to a point early in my time with the game where I was like, "oh it's actually okay to not play a card on every turn".
Would love more of these types of videos!
I think it would have been interesting for him to play some games afterward. Great content!
Absolutley loved this video. More like this please!
This is so good! I'd love to see another one.
Wow, you're actually a MTG player as well, didn't know that, really enjoyed the video, keep it up man!
I didn’t think I was going to watch an hour long video about someone guessing snap cards.. but here I am at the end of it all.
Oh whoa, I didn’t know BBD won the World Championship! He was one of the chill nice content creators and competitors when I following Magic great to see him here!
I feel like this would have been better if he could have seen a basic game with base cards to understand how the turns work and priority. He clearly was trying to understand how the game fundamentally worked with turns as it isn't like magic as it is priority-based. Otherwise great video.
I played Magic from 3rd until Judgement block (?) and it was great to hear his thought process.
Lol, you're happy both when he's wrong and when he's right
I always thought adam warlock could be something like "while winning two locations draw a card" or something like that
Mans got me wanting to play quake. Genius.
I was wondering when Snap would join the “expert in another game evaluates this game’s cards” trend. This did not disappoint.
That said I thought I’d have a lot of quibbles with the “correct” evaluation after the first couple. Werewolf is very good but part of that comes with its relative newness to the game and the meta not having really adjusted to it. And while Vulture is decidely less good, I wouldn’t really call it a bad card as such. It still regularly appears in decks focused on moving cards as a strategy.
Vulture is almost a core move card a 3/8 is crazy good for doing something you're probably already going to do anyway with move.
Good video, I’m still at about 50 mins into the video but wanted to comment that what I think makes Legion so busted is the fact that there are cards (Storm and Magik) that create a specific location that you can either multiply or shut off with Legion which is how I see him used most, to cheat out win conditions.

Super cool video. I really would have liked seeing his analysis of Galactus. There are very few cards in Marvel snap that really allow (or force..) you to pursue another win condition. Magic has milling or weird stuff like poison at some points in time, I wonder what he would have guessed about the recent and original versions of the card.
And yet that's exactly what they did with the recent change to Quake lol Her effect is no longer optional.
56:12 just a side tangent because I recalled this occurring. But, recently having collected Iron Lad and Kang, putting them into a trivial deck so to speak, I have top decked Iron Lad to see that Kang was the top card on the deck, played Kang, and thinned my deck to get the thing I needed, however I forgot if it was the power stone or Thanos. (Info: one of the locations was Limbo, and I’m pretty sure I had the card that increases the mana for you by one on this turn, or maybe I had Wave)

Love this video so much! Incredibly interesting.
Great video. Would have liked to see some of the cards put up as pairs and asked him to compare them. I think it would have facilitated the conversation toward discussing overall game principles to compare WWBN to Vulture from the start.
I bet he was able to tell how good a card was based on it’s split by the end lmao
This was an awesome video. Great job guys!
The first time i played against KM best in game, i only noticed since all his cards were purple. I remember even thinking "This guy thinks he is KM... oh." Never change that, makes ya stand out.
Wow. What a video. Nice idea man! Keep the good work! Best regards from Brazil
I'm a Quake believer now
I put Quicksilver in my decks where most of the other cards are high-cost, to prevent me from missing a T1 drop. "Why not just balance your deck better?" you may ask. And the answer is: because that deck is used only to quickly complete missions that require a bunch of 4, 5, or 6 drops to be played, without caring about winning 😂 It's Quicksilver, Domino, Magik, and the rest of the cards are "whatever cost I need for the current mission".
What would be interesting is if you had the balls to use the cards that the magic player thought were good and trying to see if players just had the wrong philosophy regarding the card, like them saying Quake has a powerful effect. Maybe she does and just no one has been using her right, I'm sure if you tried some janky Lockout combos with Storm, you could trick your opponent into dumping thinking they can take the location and them get it somewhere else.
