pixie is an intersting card to say the least but i think ill save my keys as i didn't play at all this season so i only have 1 key saved up at the moment, hoping to get more so i can get at least one season card this month as i don't have enough money to get the seaon pass
also im wondering of if you added thor and beta ray bill you could play them with pixie and then get jane foster to pull out all the 0 costs (yeah their not the hammers byt that could be a good combo possibly?)
also if i had to guess for my spotlight cache week id have to go with mocking bird, I play way too much devil dino and agents of shield. Also don't have ms marvel yet so a good week for me. ONly worried about getting that man thing varient butt it looks cool anyway (just want a new card)
I am pretty sure that if you play Black Swan all the 1 cost cards that got higher cost will cost 0 the next turn cause thats how it works if they get hit by iceman
I feel like adam warlock in pixie is gonna be necessary to try and get some sort of consistent card drawing going. Pixie is definitely a "wait 3-5 days before getting" type of a card.
This card looks very good... but, so does War Machine and Mockingbird. With every card new card being a series 5 for awhile now, resources are getting really tight. I'm gonna wait and let you streamers figure out if Pixie is worth it for me :P
@Drewberry_Snap 7:37 is this true? My understanding is that the costs shuffle and are assigned to random cards in the deck. If you shuffle a deck of cards and the ace of spades starts on top, nothing dictates the ace of spades CANNOT be on top even after shuffling. Its random. The easiest way to explain this is this scenario: You play pixie with only 2 cards left in your deck, and Hulk and Nebula. What are the possible outcomes? 1. Nebula becomes six cost and Hulk becomes one cost. 2. Nebula stays one cost and Hulk stays six cost. Are (1) and (2) both possible? Or will (1) always be true?
I play slay the spire. Theres an item that shuffles the costs of all your cards. It’s a popular item. It’s a very powerful tool. BUT, it can screw you over badly too.
I believe there has been a correction by Glenn recently (Team Answers Channel 3:12 p.m. EST 3/4): in theory, a card can shuffle and get their original cost back... This was confirmed by Glenn on Discord... so even if Hulk is the only 6 cost, he could still remain 6 cost (this would be pretty rare, depending on how many cards are left in deck when Pixie is played, but still possible). While Pixie is active, I'm running Mobius... kick that plan right out of here...
@@liberalstchenel596 Pretty sure; the question specifically referenced having only a single 6 cost card and Glenn said "It's possible for a single card to get its own Cost back, but improbable. If it was fixed to avoid that, it wouldn't be a truly random shuffle." The mention of being truly random is what clinches it... if you shuffle costs, you would list all of them and then randomly assign them; while it is unlikely a card would get the same assignment if they were the only card at that cost, it is possible.
@@nicholasjh1 Yup, the later you play Pixie the worse the odds... It doesn't work out 14% exactly (it's actually a bit worse since each card being assigned moves the chances up), but it's close enough...
Finally someone said it. It was infuriating seeing almost every Marvel Snap content creator on TH-cam and Twitch talking about this card like its ability SWAPS instead of SHUFFLING since it was datamined.
Easy pass for me. You either see this card and it’s amazing or not see it at all and play and average deck at best. Idk if there is a consistent that can win without it I’ll get it.
I'm mostly getting her because I love the character, this has been my criteria for some spotlight caches. Even if I won't be playing her much, I want her in my collection!
This is one of those cards that changes the game, instead of playing a standard discard or on reveal deck or destroy you now get to Mr. negative on it but instead it’s pixie time. I think that might be the most overlooked part of this how it will change standard decks or not 😂
Caught the vid a couple days ago, and I’m back to report that that Pixie Magic deck is fire. It’s got good curve, and if you don’t draw Pixie, it still works because it has a pretty straightforward play line. Fill a lane with the cheap stuff protected by armor in the first three turns, then Wong, iron man, spectrum. It just gets even better and wackier if you get pixie and decent RNG, because your options only expand from there. It’s not great in conquest for me, but I’ve been flying up the ladder with it. Really solid on ladder. Real cube thief of a deck. I dig it 👍🏻
"Do you like gambling with your deck, similar to Mr. Negative?" If yes, then snap. If no, then pass. Pretty simple. Pixie might be neat, but I don't want to try to figure her out. I'll let someone else figure her out for me. Plus gotta save keys for April and possibly May depending on what comes out on patch day.
I think this is a heavy 2-star card! It's whatever you would rank Negative... but much worse. Yes, you will have the ability to get some 6-cost cards down further, but that switch works both ways. I imagine most of the time it will really be reducing the cost down to 3-4 cost at its most consistent. The downside is just too massive! All of your lower cost cards will effectively be bricked. Its as if you just Baron yourself... but not just one card, all of the cards remaining! Most cheap cards need to cost that much in order to justify that they get played, so even a slight increase will ruin the sequence. Now it be better if it also interacted with your hand cards, as kind of a Snecko eyo play. With negative, there are cards which can still benefit by having their cost/power swapped (outside of the zero cost switch). There will be games where you will get it, which is why it's not a 1-cost card. But I don't think this card will be good at all! I'm not seeing how content creators are seeing 4 or even 5-star card.
i predict 90% of games with her will be: you draw her too late, or you draw her on time but then every card you draw is a 5-6 cost wasp and yellowjacket
Pixie should have been a series 4. She has a nice kit but nothing grounding breaking. Going to use my Tokens on Thanos and save my key for War Machine.
I have 12 Keys but im sure im not using Keys this week. I think no one knows Pixies true potential but people are going to use Mobius all week to ruin others fun. I have 15K tokens, so i can afford her, i dont know if im going to resist picking her with them. (My only S5 card that i bought with Tokens was Gladiator)
@@vincentalex4264 im colection complete. Also theres 1K tokens on many albums half the way down (i dont have more than 9/12 in any) and i use the gold since i start playing for the token tuesday and for Variants. So picking Variants on the shop over time is 2K every 10.
What will happen to discounted cards in deck? If Death/She-Hulk costs 4 energy and is in deck, will they shuffle their base energy with other cards, or their discounted energy? And if they shuffle to a 2 cost card, will their discount be further applied from that discounted point? I'm guessing only the latter is true.
But you decrease your chance to draw your card that have swap cost. But i think mind stone have a good synergy since you draw 1 cost card you can do pixie then mind stone and get powerful card that now cost 1
Looks like a different flavor of Mr. Negative. I could see this being an archetype but really not sure how good it’ll ever get. Definitely gonna have to wait and see.
Gonna wait to see what people come up with in regards to decks. She sounds really fun. But I got 4 keys saved up and I'm aiming for Cannonball and War-Machine, as someone who loves control/lockdown. Pixie could end up being way too RNG for me.
Your example has an error. You stated that Hulk was guaranteed a discount since he was the only 6 cost in the deck. Glen confirmed this is not the case in the Ask the Team section of the Snap Discord. A card doesn't always shuffle to another cards cost. It could shuffle into its own cost. Doesn't matter if it's the only 6 cost. It could still be a 6 after the shuffle.
@@liberalstchenel596 "My question is - if I only have a single card of a particular cost - say, Doom is my only 6 drop, for example - is it possible in the shuffle for him to get his own cost back? Or is that only possible if there's another 6-drop in the deck? Are there protections for when the two lists are shuffled to prevent a card from getting matched with its own cost entry from the other list?" Glenn's response: "It's possible for a single card to get its own Cost back, but improbable. If it was fixed to avoid that, it wouldn't be a truly random shuffle."
@@liberalstchenel596 no, because math. If you have 8 cards in deck and only a single one is 6 cost, it's a 1/8 chance it remains a 6 cost after the shuffle. I think "improbable" was too strongly worded by Glenn. It's going to happen quite a bit due to volume of plays.
Maybe it's just me but combined with Mobius and Black Swan you can curtain most of Pixie's drawbacks. You can still get screwed over by RNG of course but no pain no gain, right?
My plan is to try pixie with a bunch of one drops, a couple 6 drops and add in black swan, she should let you play the 1 cost cards even if they got shuffled to 6. Also might be nice to have enchantress to shut off Mobius M as I’m sure we will see lots of him this week.
Whether it will be good or bad, I think this card is going to be fun. You never know what you're gonna get. I think this will just bring a new way of play into the game, and It's going to be fun either way.
I'm definitely picking this up! I've actually been getting a little bored of Marvel Snap lately, mostly because I've been playing the same decks over and over in an attempt to climb rank, so it's come out at a perfect time for me personally because I'm looking forward to ignoring rank for a while to get back to having some fun!
Another great vid! Always appreciate the intel. I just wanna say that that Stuart Immonen variant is dope. I really hope more of his art makes its way into Snap. His work on the X-men comics is some of my favorite depictions of them ever. Love his art style.
Will be very interesting to see it in action, but I need to skip it with my limited ressources. Need to have enough keys to get Ms. Marvel and Mockingbird next week
I will pick her up just for the sake of freshness and feeling of something new in the game. I have saved 8 caches, hopefully rng will be on my side and I will be able to get all cards from this month.
Hi icy! No unfortunately the season pass only gives you hope summers. Pixie is obtainable by using spotlight keys or tokens but I believe both of those resources are only available after a certain amount of progression through the collection track. Check out resources like snapfan or marvelsnapzone, they both have great new player content that explains these systems!
@@Drewberry_Gaming okay, I am still wondering how can I obtain strong cards, my collection was on like level 163, and all cards I noticed was series 1 😅 I am planning to buy the pass but I guess I have to have at a certain level 🤷♂️

SHUFFLE NOT SWAP 💀
lol definitely a bit confusing
Rocks are a good counter too to stuff their draws
Is pixie what we needed to make Adam warlock useable? COPIUM
I think the Adam nerf might have been in anticipation of pixie
Im snapping for mobius and ham, so ill probably get her too
Pixie will be popular in 3 and below cost decks.
I turn two pixie. My opponent then plays Loki. Will they get original cost or shuffled cost
That’s actually a good question, I think before they got swapped.
Original!
I wonder if crystal will see play in this...

She’s sounds so fun, no way I’m passing this one!
Would love pixie if it shuffles the costs of cards in your hand not the deck. Right now im holding on on my caches.
Is it worth if you dont have mobius
Not really, sinceif you skrull their mobius it's like nothing happened
I am pretty sure that if you play Black Swan all the 1 cost cards that got higher cost will cost 0 the next turn cause thats how it works if they get hit by iceman
I was unhappy with black swan, but now I'm happy I got her
YEah they confirmed in the Discord that it takes the base costs, no the adjusted ones.
I feel like adam warlock in pixie is gonna be necessary to try and get some sort of consistent card drawing going. Pixie is definitely a "wait 3-5 days before getting" type of a card.
I will just ignore your advice because i like gambling (but i do agree with thw adam warlock)
It's a new archetype. It's always worth getting
Good call on the pass. I think Pixie might create some cube stealing decks, but they'll be very inconsistent at best.
With Mobius you could prevent any cards from getting above their cost, only below.
Yeah but they’ll be fun!

Fair point
But you decrease your chance to draw your card that have swap cost. But i think mind stone have a good synergy since you draw 1 cost card you can do pixie then mind stone and get powerful card that now cost 1
It will be the same level as mr negative, so can be really good but at the end of the day Niche
That's my thoughts too about the card... It's very much in line with what Mr. Negative can do, very high highrolls, very low lowrolls
Looks like a different flavor of Mr. Negative. I could see this being an archetype but really not sure how good it’ll ever get. Definitely gonna have to wait and see.

am I the only one here who ended the video WAAAAAY more confused than before it started? 😓
Haha how can I help?? I try to lay it out the best I can but it’s difficult without actual gameplay

You missed a key mechanic. They can shuffle and still end up with their same cost. So 1 6-drop can stay as a 6-drop if you’re unlucky.
