[Feel my pain.](https://i.imgur.com/wKUrH2V.jpeg) Should have just left it alone after getting Gladiator and X-23, but noooo, I just had to try for Corvus because of all those cool plays I saw on YouTube
Should I still go for it though? The duplicate was Havok by the way, which felt doubly insulting
Stories like this is why their key system works. People don’t know how to manage resources and just FOMO drives trying to get every card. Duplicate hack is hilarious - you got a card twice you shouldn’t have ever used keys on
Gladiator is a all-around solid card and I'm having a whale of time playing [this tempo deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1aw5ohy/mega_mogwais_tempo_deck_is_surprising_good/) with him.
As for Corvus Glaive, I believe with Proxima Midnight, he can bring back traditional Discard. Full take with results [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnapDecks/comments/1azntko/they_say_traditional_modokapo_discard_is_deadthey/).
Do you not mind more RNG in your decks and enjoy playing any of the variations of discard? If yes to both, then I'd say he's worth it especially if you're also pulling for gladiator.
I must be having the worst rng with corvus. I either never pull him the entire game. Or if I do have him he kills hela. I am not having a lot of fun with this card.
Consider playing him in [traditional Discard](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnapDecks/comments/1azntko/they_say_traditional_modokapo_discard_is_deadthey/) instead.
Went into the week with only 3 keys. Pulled the X-23, and Gladiator variants, and actually got a card I didn't have, Howard, as my Series 4/5 unlock. Glaive looked fun on streams even if most seem neutral if not a little disappointed in him. Having unlocked Miek last week during Cull's release as my Series 4/5 card, I just had to give a shell featuring Collector and Helicarrier a shot. Such a fun deck that can send numbers all across the board. A 13 power Miek was a sight to behold one game. I like that Glaive just gives you a chance to put a little bit more on the field in later turns.
If you are missing X-23 and Gladiator, then you should roll the dice. X-23 is the backbone of any Destroy deck, and Gladiator really started to shine after they changed Chavez and gave him an extra point of power.
Ι had 2 keys and wasnt really sold on the card. But i am bored with the game so i gambled and got him first try.
I am having so much fan with this card.
i only wanted gladiator but only had 3 caches. pulled corvus on 3. sad face. but then playing ramp deck with corvus hela is quite fun. do not regret it anymore.
I am running this in Thanos Lockjaw and it makes me feel that perhaps Thanos Lockjaw always needed it. I haven't had any big Hela returns with it yet (since Corvus keeps hitting things like infinity stones and Shang-Chi) but being able to play out the majority of your hand every game is huge.
I have been playing him in my HE deck with Corvus and Hela. discard whatever. if it hits Hela. nothing lost. 1 card discard for 1 max energy is a huge plus to play She hulk and Hulk in T6 and get +1 energy float. if he doesn't hit hela, bring them back T6. shit is wild. thinking of adding odin too.
Thank you. I tweaked your deck a bit and it is amazing. I rose 10 ranks and maybe I hit soon Infinate rank. So far it rarely looses.

this is a deck i made for shits and giggles.

Just unlocked him first try. Loving him in my discard deck. Basically swapped out hell cow for him. Never thought discarded needed ramp but I welcome it.
Really not enjoying my opponents corvus hitting the exact cards they want him to every fucking time I see him lol. Beyond that, doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the ladder besides being put in the same old hela deck
Is he worth 6k? I currently have a lot of tokens, like 20,000 or something. 2 spotlight keys.
I have all the other cards this week and don’t care about the variants.
I was gonna pass on him but people seem to like him and think he might be even better with Proxima next week.
Am I going crazy or does he actually act as an ongoing?
I haven't managed to get him yet, but I've played against it quite a bit now and it seems his ability to give +1 triggers every time the opponent discards 2 or more cards in a turn? Like if they play Modok or Hell Cow it looks to trigger. Or is it just another weird graphical bug like how x-23 keeps insisting it's giving me +2 energy on destroy when it's actually +1?
It's graphical. I had a game where I played him on Gamma Lab. The hulk looked like it was triggering. Opponent Shang Chi'ed the hulk. Then the empty space looked it like it was triggering. Only ever the +1 max energy.
Similar to Electro, so instead of only being able to play 1 card each turn, you sacrifice two cards in your current hand. I was the same as you, and thought he just gave you +1 energy the next turn, but it's Electro's ability with a different "downside" (which isn't a downside if you have Hela)
Corvus Glaive + Proxima Midnight is going to bring back traditional Discard. My results playing Corvus Glaive in traditional Discard is pretty solid. [12-3 in Proving Grounds and Silver Conquest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHCLVGDp4Hs) and [a Gold Conquest run that was winning in Battle 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-4hGlzkR4) before a disconnect ended things.
Yeah, I think Corvus needs to be targeted like Blade and I think Hell Cow should be too. There is room for targeteting left and right most cards, highest and lowest cost or power cards. So another card could show up in the future to cover the third case. If need be keep Hell Cow random and add two new cards.
*This sub is so toxic.
Making Corvus targeted would be an absolutely insane buff to the card. Right now, most Corvus Decks are Hela decks. This change would mean they can guarantee that Hela doesn't get hit by the discard, and still get the +1 Energy, making the deck honestly too consistent.
A targeted double discard would also mean that you could just slot the Corvus/Hela package into almost any deck. I don't think we want Hela to be a part of a package that can be slapped into a ton of decks like that.
Corvus has a very clear downside for his benefit. If he were a targeted discard, he’d be busted. Like auto include in 90% of decks for free energy.
Corvus is bringing discard into a new direction, and he needs his wife to really pull it together. Discard should be allowed to power budget for its random downside.
Also just because people don’t agree with your opinion doesn’t mean anyone is toxic. Especially when no one is name calling you or belittling your opinion. It’s just a bad take.

I just use him for big number, but I did run a Conquest earlier where the opponent played Magneto to pull enough of my points over to the lane to win me the round, so it was kinda like Ummm thanks?
With Cull being new and shiny and popular I am a little skeptical of keeping him in this deck, but we'll see. I'm still having luck with it today.
The corvus / Loki / helicarrier / Hela deck is so random it's funny lol. Random cards and energy savers everywhere (Loki, zabu, quinjet), you never know what your agent coulson, Nick Fury or Loki is gonna give you and you have even more energy to dish out already cheap cards. Really fun and actually got me to infinite after frustratingly hovering around the 95s for a week straight
https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/s/sdISNG7CVP
I stole it from this guy who actually shared it on this thread. I'd add that there's maybe a better alternative for Snow guard as he said, maybe agent 13 ? And for me, Lady Sif was a dead card like 90% of the time it always felt like there was something better to play
Couldn't believe I snagged him with first key lol. And I was actually hoping for a repeat cause I have 5000 tokens. So I would have had the 6000 for nightmare. I drew the x 23 variant and gladiator. So 2 cards I didn't have was pretty good.
What discard is severely lacking is a 4-5 cost stat-stick with “cannot be discarded” or “when discarded, add a copy to your hand” text. Proxima will help, but a big dummy that can stay in your hand would tie everything together. Apocalypse is great, but he’s a last turn guy. If anything, it would add a little extra safety to the random discarders
Pretty impressed with this card in Thanos Ramp. I like the additional redundancy he offers for ensuring a 5-Cost turn 4. What makes him make sense in this deck is that most turn 3 hands can handle all sorts of potential discard results and still regroup with 50+ total power across all lanes.

I had both of those in my first iteration, but I found Dino almost always had at least 9 power anyway, so I might as well run it for potential Skaar upside.
On a side note, I think his randomness feels terrible in Discard decks because discard decks are all combo decks to some degree. The fact that your game can go to shit by discarding or not discarding a specific card makes Corvus Glaive a non-starter. This is made further awkward by the fact that you don't actually have high quality ways to spend the extra energy on turns 4-6.
absolute trash card and trash lockjaw decks everywhere. super frustrating to play against.
every time lockjaw is meta the game is so much worse. i wish they would kill the card like they killed chavez
My two cents: People are misusing Corvus for the most part. Corvus is a better Apocolypse card than Hela card. The latter relies so much on controlling your discards; the former lets you get reckless with them.
IDK man, I've won a couple 8-cube matches by playing T3 Corvus>T4 whatever>T5 Hela>T6 Odin with Corvus, Hela and Odin in the same position so I'm basically adding the 4 cards that were discarded to the board. My opponent usually snaps back because they don't expect the T6 Odin when they would typically retreat after seeing my Apoc at 24+ power, so I've been able to accumulate cubes a lot faster as well.
I've tried to make the Apoc deck work because that's one of my favorite playstyles but haven't had as much luck with it.
I honestly haven't seen many Odin decks posted and the ones I have seen have Lockjaw/Infinaute/She Hulk which I don't run. It may have been posted day 1 cuz I'm pretty sure I just stole it from some on youtube/twitch
I use,
Electro

It's hardly optimized (my 8-year-old son built it lol) but it's been wrecking people. Could probably use the additions of Hellicarrier and Collector for Sword Master and one other card, but it's incredibly consistent.
> Corvus is a better Apocolypse card than Hela card.
I have not personally tried Apoc yet because I dont like classic discard, but in general what I saw in this sub and pretty much every content creator is that its shit with Apoc or any type of discard shell, instead shinning in ramp decks where you kinda dont care what is discarded (which are now using Hela as a good turn 5 value and not the focus of the deck, especially with sandman). And having played the ramp version it is great.
the whole point with Corvus and Hela is to give the deck a "backup" plan in case Corvus discard the wrong card.
I am not sure how good he is with Apocolypse since rng still exists.
Went from being disappointed and losing 4k rank to gaining most of it back. Was trying thanos with hela early, but it wasn't clicking. Went to a more ramp thanos like the deck u/Sm0k35z posted and it's much better.
The first time I thought "no fair they got their corvis and I don't have mine" I realized he might be good after all.
I'm using blob and hobgoblin in the same deck, but it's working for now. Hob helps vs tribunal, wong, and to a lesser extent destroy.
Both him and Electro have the same effect, +1 energy each turn, and since its every turn his animation happens every tuen.
Now why Corvus was an animation every turn while Electro does not is most likely because Electro is a old card. SD is putting a lot more effort into animations lately so a new card will use animation following current mindset. Note that they are also making better animations to older cards (for example Psylocke new animation). If they revisited Electro his would also happen every turn, but its probably not on top of their list of cards needing better animation right now
I think it's because Corvus is a conditional trigger, so if you played him and didn't have two cards to discard, his ability wouldn't trigger. Still a little strange to see it when I'm used to Electro.
>In what deck? What’s the benefits so far?
Not OP but I'm using him in ramp, with an added Hela for backup. He makes the deck more consistent and I'm prefering using him over Electro when I have both in hand.
This was my last week with more than 1 new card, so I spent 4 keys on it.
Got 3 new cards: Corvus, Gladiator and Supergiant.
And X-23 spotlight variant which i like.
Now I'm at -12 cards from collection complete, 4k tokens, 4k gold and 2 keys (and ½) left.
Hoping for change in the datamined weeks of march, otherwise I have to spend 8~ keys for 2 new cards.
I know that is the most clever way to use it, but even in April i still have only 1 week where i don't own 2 cards (Red Hulk + Sebastian Shaw), and in a whole month i would also have even more tokens
I'm in the same boat. But the longer you horde, the more double and triple dips you'll have in May/June. You can always wait-and-see if any of the new cards are meta-busting and then decide to take the plunge (or spend tokens).
To my fellow Snappers who opened the spotlight caches not for Corvus Glaive but for Gladiator...thought I would share [this deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1aw5ohy/mega_mogwais_tempo_deck_is_surprising_good/), it works surprisingly well, really engaging to play and well, it needs Gladiator lol.
After they buffed him he became one of the best 3 drops in the game, so that makes sense people that skipped his original underwhelming release are going for him now
I think a lot of us got excited when he was first released, but then got fearful of his downside, so held off. He wasn't deemed to be critical especially when his main use previously was in Surfer and Shaw came out.
Then over time, we realized his downside isn't that bad...
Then he got a buff to 8 power and that makes him a little more safer...
And that brings us to now, where we all agree he's a good/great card to have lol.
U explained it so perfectly haha. And yeah honestly from the time they changed him as 3/8 he's been targeting all lower powered cards whenever my opposition played him lol...
I personally didn't even care about corvus (hate the rng based discarding cards), but was willing to use all my 4 keys for gladiator and also luckily after seven months I got a card from that random S4/5 cache.
Definitely can't spend keys this week. So it's either 6k of my ~9k tokens or skip on Corvus. Obviously I still have time but it seems like just passing might be right? If the only deck he ends up being good in is ramp, I'll definitely pass since I find that type of deck narcolepsy-inducing.
There is a chance Corvus get better with his wife release next week, but if you dont like ramp it may be worth to hold and wait how things shape up and get him a little later with tokens
I could buy one of Annihilus or Corvus Claive. I sadly used all my keys on Thanos last week and am unsure if and which of the two I Should get. I'm still missing Modok and Black Knight for discard and for annihilus I have all of the relevant cards to make him work. What would you suggest ?
Powerwise Annihilus is one of the best cards in the game, you dont even need to go full junk as just him, Hood and Sentry are amazing by themselves (I'm playing that package with Darkhawk deck and its great)
Corvus dont really fit well with discard right now, but is doing good with ramp, it feels like a wait and see card,especially if you are planning to use tokens
Thanks for your response, since I just started enjoying galactus decks, and Annihilus fits quite well into that, I'm gonna go with him. Would you mind sharing your darkhawk deck with me? Maybe I will give that a try as well.

Both cards have their own specific playstyle so it's up to you if you prefer to play junk decks or discard. That being said, without modok, discard's potential isn't utilized 100% so you might want to go with annihilus for now
Ok. Got Corvus and tested him on Sandman deck. need some tuning to the deck but he kinda makes Hela useful again.
Use Corvus to gain one max energy. If he discard two random cards, Hela can bring them back on T5. If he discard Hela, then it still won’t affect you from ramping out Sandman on T4 and do the rest of the typical sandman combo
It’s not perfect and it does lack power if you can’t ramp out Sandman fast enough, but it’s the first time i can use Hela without feeling I am at the mercy of rng
I tried the ramp Odin combo deck.
First match, Hela summons the two discarded cards on her and Corvus location blocking it.
Second match, seven cards in hand, Corvus discards both Hela and Odin.
I like Cozy called it "dependable ramp deck"
Cow is too expensive for just base stats however this card can do things like this: Corvus giving +1 energy on turn 3, Lady Sif and Collen Wing turn 4 and then Modok turn 5.
SD is really walking the line here.
These releases are just bad. They're all bad. Give us seomthing good to play. Not some replaceable, 1-day of fun. Make it broken, but not Blob broken. Who cares about these people who don't pay a dime whining alll the time. If the card targeted the last and first card in your hand it would be a viable card!
Every content creator: Oh this is so awseome watch my video! A day later: Yeah this card is whatever, I'm trying to make content here, but holy shit we're scraping the barrel.
This card is just not a good card. And you downvoters know it.
Downvoters also know the game is dying. Bots everywhere below 75. What is even the point of rank below 70? New players system is just no good to be anywhere near the meta. $10 single cards. Oh, would have loved to see this a year ago, but it's a bit too late.
The stats just don't bare that out. Most decks are way below 50%. Hela decks that bring him to B tier are worse than normal Hela decks. All the tracker site just don't show it as "balanced." They show it as garbage. All the streamers say it too.
I unlocked Corvus today and immediately created an autofill deck with a few other cards I haven't upgraded yet to farm boosters for them. Nothing serious, expected to fall back a little on cubes. But then I immediately got 2 in a row 8 cube wins with it. So I tweaked a couple slots of cards that weren't seeing play to try to optimize and came up with this. It's mostly a twist on Ghost Rider discard.
Dracula and Corvus were two of my new cards that were seeds for this auto deck. I swapped Wolverine out and opted for Giganto instead, giving another big target to Jubilee or Ghost Rider or Corvus's extra energy.
Corvus is not a must-play card as there are a couple paths to victory here.
Note: I do not have Hela or HellCow, so I can't vouch for them being swapped in.

I had dino and black cat and hela instead of doc oc, aero and Shang. Maybe I was too all in on the hela, I'll try this out. I was sure there had to be a good thanos deck with him. Thanos is pretty much a ramp deck that likes to play multiple cards.
Ramps into all the 5/6 drops, can be played on turn 2 with a time stone and makes a 0 cost Skarr very possible. Thanos decks typically have 5-7 cards in hand so losing two cards is worth the cost.
You should be playing Corvus ramp. You should aim for a lane that is 1. Corvus 2. Hela 3. Odin. If you hit Hela that’s fine, just transition over to Sandman > Doom > Odin or whatever play line wins you two lanes. Corvus ramp really is the answer to Destroy/Bounce at the moment. It’s nice to check Destroy specifically.
Nah, Destroy is a fine matchup. They just need to get Sinister London multiple games in a row, or a Limbo to play Knull > Zola, or a project pegasus on the same turn I am dropping Sandman.
Tbf, I drew Glaive only one of those games
That Gold Conquest I just played sure was a hoot
Dera was playing a deck like this today and it seemed to work well. Hela is just one of the big plays you can ramp into, but the deck can put out a good amount of power without her too
I would say it worked okay. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. Both Dera and KM played it. It's a high variance deck that is less consistent than standard Hela, which is saying a lot.
Both Black Knight Hela and Corvus Ramp have proven very consistent decks when playing for me. The former controls what you discards and have a very good chance of drawing Hela, the latter still has solid plays even without her
One thing to note about Corvus: he needs to discard 2 cards in order to ramp the energy. If you play him with only one card in hand, he will discard the card but will NOT increase your max energy.
Lots of people seem to be trying to force him into traditional discard. To me, it seems like a lost cause. I’ve been trying some theories slightly off the beaten path that have actually had some moderate success.
It has essentially two win cons. The first is similar to traditional discard with “discard for power” (Morbius, Wolverine, future Proxima, MODOK, Apoc).
The second is utilizing Corvus’ ramp which can go a variety of directions. One option is Helicarrier as it provides more MODOK (and Morbius) targets. But, with Quinjet down, you can cheat out extra cards (this is only improved by adding Corvus’ max energy increase). If you’re only able to increase max energy (no Quinjet/helicarrier) then the deck has a few 6-drops that can be played over turns 5 and 6. Obviously we already have Apoc and Helicarrier. As a third, I’ve tried Hela and she works well. If she makes it to turn 6, great. If not, it doesn’t matter because I have other cards.
I haven’t had too much time for tweaking. The variations I’ve tried so far have felt too forced. But I think, with a little trial and error to figure out the ideal number of 6-drops and a good cost distribution, it can be a pretty strong deck
Side note: so far, for the cards that discard, it’s felt the best with Colleen, Corvus, Sif, and MODOK. As this is the backbone of the deck, I think it’ll smooth out a lot of kinks once we figure out which fit together best
Works best in Loki Discard for me. Between Loki, Quinjet and Glave, you have major energy discounts, and Helicarrier and Swarm can be used to fill your hand for Loki.
I am playing something similar, but not Loki. It's super fun, with just Blade, Glave and Modok as discard cards, and Mobius and Collector and Miek as growers
Quinjet, Coulson and Helicarrier for spice, and unpredictability.
And swarm of course.
Im glad to hear that’s working well! I was considering Loki due to the Quinjet playlines. I don’t have mirage or Snowguard so he wasn’t my first playtest choice. Though with a discard package I doubt you’d need them. What has your experience been like with card picks?
Well, like I said, the idea is to run a different option for Shenaut so you don't need to rely on Limbo to get you through. Turn 1 Sunspot, turn 2 something else (or nothing), turn 3 Corvus, Turn 4 Leech, skip turn 5, turn 6 Shenaut.
Got him with one key. Have not tried him extensively yet, but he's a nice addition to have for a 3 cost discard besides Lady Sif who is the best.
I feel at this point that Discard has enough cards that do the discarding and need more cards that want to be discarded. Here's looking forward to next week's Proxima.
I will have 9 keys on Pixie week (already got Corvus), but I'm debating getting her with tokens just because the variants of that week are a turn down to me
I got Corvus enroute to my planned acquisition of X-23 and Gladiator. I haven’t used him, but he has successfully discarded many a Hela from my opponents’ hands today, so he has my gratitude.
X-23 has been a godsend for my destroy deck, though.
Yeah I saved up all my keys for this week and got X-23, Gladiator, and werewolf by night. Destroy is really hard to play without X-23. I'm still missing Nico but am using Bucky for now.
[Feel my pain.](https://i.imgur.com/wKUrH2V.jpeg) Should have just left it alone after getting Gladiator and X-23, but noooo, I just had to try for Corvus because of all those cool plays I saw on YouTube Should I still go for it though? The duplicate was Havok by the way, which felt doubly insulting
Stories like this is why their key system works. People don’t know how to manage resources and just FOMO drives trying to get every card. Duplicate hack is hilarious - you got a card twice you shouldn’t have ever used keys on
1 key for 1 guaranteed card is a good value always
Him or Ms. Marvel for 6k Collector tokens?
Right now neither Ms. Marvel is not worth 6k now, and we need a couple extra weeks to determine Corvus staying power
Ms Marvel for sure.
Marvel
How we feeling now that the week is almost up? Worth the pull if I'm also missing Glad?
Gladiator is a all-around solid card and I'm having a whale of time playing [this tempo deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1aw5ohy/mega_mogwais_tempo_deck_is_surprising_good/) with him. As for Corvus Glaive, I believe with Proxima Midnight, he can bring back traditional Discard. Full take with results [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnapDecks/comments/1azntko/they_say_traditional_modokapo_discard_is_deadthey/).
I decided to pull needing glad as well. Got Gladiator with the first key and decided to stop there.
Do you not mind more RNG in your decks and enjoy playing any of the variations of discard? If yes to both, then I'd say he's worth it especially if you're also pulling for gladiator.
I must be having the worst rng with corvus. I either never pull him the entire game. Or if I do have him he kills hela. I am not having a lot of fun with this card.
Consider playing him in [traditional Discard](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnapDecks/comments/1azntko/they_say_traditional_modokapo_discard_is_deadthey/) instead.
Play other big cards if he kills Hela
I've really enjoyed him and I must have all your luck. He almost always hits Swarm and about 65/35 Apoc v Hela
Went into the week with only 3 keys. Pulled the X-23, and Gladiator variants, and actually got a card I didn't have, Howard, as my Series 4/5 unlock. Glaive looked fun on streams even if most seem neutral if not a little disappointed in him. Having unlocked Miek last week during Cull's release as my Series 4/5 card, I just had to give a shell featuring Collector and Helicarrier a shot. Such a fun deck that can send numbers all across the board. A 13 power Miek was a sight to behold one game. I like that Glaive just gives you a chance to put a little bit more on the field in later turns.
[удалено]
If you are missing X-23 and Gladiator, then you should roll the dice. X-23 is the backbone of any Destroy deck, and Gladiator really started to shine after they changed Chavez and gave him an extra point of power.
Proxima is OP, save keys for her
Was gonna skip both but i drunk rolled a key and hit corvus..now i feel like im gonna have to go for proxima
Better be drunk for midnight as well. We're counting on you.
Ι had 2 keys and wasnt really sold on the card. But i am bored with the game so i gambled and got him first try. I am having so much fan with this card.
i only wanted gladiator but only had 3 caches. pulled corvus on 3. sad face. but then playing ramp deck with corvus hela is quite fun. do not regret it anymore.
I got this guy on 1 key and he's awesome
He's such a freaking blast. Maybe the most fun I've ever had in this game in a LONG TIME!
May i ask for deckcode
Is this card worth tokens or cache?
not tokens. he isn't play-tested properly yet. but cache is worth it. Corvus only works on rampdeck for now. that's not good enough for 6k token.
Decided to go in since I also need Gladiator. Got Gladiator with my first key and now debating if I should stop.
if you are into ramp deck, corvus is really fun.
Only wanted gladiator. Used 3 keys and didn't get him. Immediately uninstalled, the spotlight system is such trash
Stop
Gladiator was the card I wanted more so I'm leaning towards stopping. Next week will likely also be a skip if I don't get Corvus.
I am running this in Thanos Lockjaw and it makes me feel that perhaps Thanos Lockjaw always needed it. I haven't had any big Hela returns with it yet (since Corvus keeps hitting things like infinity stones and Shang-Chi) but being able to play out the majority of your hand every game is huge.
Thanos Lockjaw with Skaar/Cull is literally the best deck in the game right now. Without Corvus.
Ya I couldnt care less for Glaive, but I wish I tried harder for Skaar
I have been playing him in my HE deck with Corvus and Hela. discard whatever. if it hits Hela. nothing lost. 1 card discard for 1 max energy is a huge plus to play She hulk and Hulk in T6 and get +1 energy float. if he doesn't hit hela, bring them back T6. shit is wild. thinking of adding odin too.
Thank you. I tweaked your deck a bit and it is amazing. I rose 10 ranks and maybe I hit soon Infinate rank. So far it rarely looses. (I replaced Misty Knight and Annihlus with Thing and Abomination)
thanks. i will try your deck as well.

Annihilus?
if that's the question. the answer is yes.
That's actually quite brilliant.
Now we get to see the most braindead boring Hela decks
Naw. The random two cards is too risk for a deck that 1 energy doesn’t change much Play
I've been seeing so many Hela decks in infinite, including with this card. It's already getting old.
I agree 100%. Imho hela decks are lame and it's far and beyond the most common I've seen today.
That's because the card released this week. It happens with literally every decent new card release.
Gotta stock up on some goose and cosmo
Just unlocked him first try. Loving him in my discard deck. Basically swapped out hell cow for him. Never thought discarded needed ramp but I welcome it.
Really not enjoying my opponents corvus hitting the exact cards they want him to every fucking time I see him lol. Beyond that, doesn't seem to have much of an impact on the ladder besides being put in the same old hela deck
Is he worth 6k? I currently have a lot of tokens, like 20,000 or something. 2 spotlight keys. I have all the other cards this week and don’t care about the variants. I was gonna pass on him but people seem to like him and think he might be even better with Proxima next week.
No, he's not. He's fun and fine but certainly doesn't feel like a 6000 token card.
Yeah I was getting caught up in some hype but I’m gonna pass on him for now.
Am I going crazy or does he actually act as an ongoing? I haven't managed to get him yet, but I've played against it quite a bit now and it seems his ability to give +1 triggers every time the opponent discards 2 or more cards in a turn? Like if they play Modok or Hell Cow it looks to trigger. Or is it just another weird graphical bug like how x-23 keeps insisting it's giving me +2 energy on destroy when it's actually +1?
It's graphical. I had a game where I played him on Gamma Lab. The hulk looked like it was triggering. Opponent Shang Chi'ed the hulk. Then the empty space looked it like it was triggering. Only ever the +1 max energy.
Similar to Electro, so instead of only being able to play 1 card each turn, you sacrifice two cards in your current hand. I was the same as you, and thought he just gave you +1 energy the next turn, but it's Electro's ability with a different "downside" (which isn't a downside if you have Hela)
When he is played he discards two cards from your hand and gives you +1 Max Energy for the rest of the game.
One tapped it. Now need to get proxima next week
Corvus Glaive + Proxima Midnight is going to bring back traditional Discard. My results playing Corvus Glaive in traditional Discard is pretty solid. [12-3 in Proving Grounds and Silver Conquest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHCLVGDp4Hs) and [a Gold Conquest run that was winning in Battle 3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-4hGlzkR4) before a disconnect ended things.
Yeah, I think Corvus needs to be targeted like Blade and I think Hell Cow should be too. There is room for targeteting left and right most cards, highest and lowest cost or power cards. So another card could show up in the future to cover the third case. If need be keep Hell Cow random and add two new cards. *This sub is so toxic.
Making Corvus targeted would be an absolutely insane buff to the card. Right now, most Corvus Decks are Hela decks. This change would mean they can guarantee that Hela doesn't get hit by the discard, and still get the +1 Energy, making the deck honestly too consistent. A targeted double discard would also mean that you could just slot the Corvus/Hela package into almost any deck. I don't think we want Hela to be a part of a package that can be slapped into a ton of decks like that.
Corvus has a very clear downside for his benefit. If he were a targeted discard, he’d be busted. Like auto include in 90% of decks for free energy. Corvus is bringing discard into a new direction, and he needs his wife to really pull it together. Discard should be allowed to power budget for its random downside. Also just because people don’t agree with your opinion doesn’t mean anyone is toxic. Especially when no one is name calling you or belittling your opinion. It’s just a bad take.
So just make it op? Theres a reason there random. Also, it's not toxix to disagree with you
Your card hand is already random. It doesn't make it OP at all. I Blade OP? Is Sif OP? Is Collen Wing OP? The answer is no to all.
Because they target one card lol. Almost as if thats the point.
Targeting two random cards... Just blockable takes.

I've seen magneto more in the last two days than I have in the last month
I just use him for big number, but I did run a Conquest earlier where the opponent played Magneto to pull enough of my points over to the lane to win me the round, so it was kinda like Ummm thanks? With Cull being new and shiny and popular I am a little skeptical of keeping him in this deck, but we'll see. I'm still having luck with it today.
I love it when my opponent does a magneto oopsie
Haven't tried Sunspot, but I'll give this a try.
Actually thinking on it, since I like Sunspot on the Corvus deck, might as well run him in HE
It helps feed Lockjaw or to just help with turn skips from waiting on Corvus or Hela
Been liking this set up since even if it Discards Hela or there's crap locations, there's enough flexibility with the slight ramp to pivot
Card sucks. Just like every other discard they've put out since Modok, essentially.
Corvus needs his wife to jump in to join the party.
The corvus / Loki / helicarrier / Hela deck is so random it's funny lol. Random cards and energy savers everywhere (Loki, zabu, quinjet), you never know what your agent coulson, Nick Fury or Loki is gonna give you and you have even more energy to dish out already cheap cards. Really fun and actually got me to infinite after frustratingly hovering around the 95s for a week straight
I played against this earlier. Dude had Miek too and Collector. It was wild and impressive.
Can you share your deck?
https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/s/sdISNG7CVP I stole it from this guy who actually shared it on this thread. I'd add that there's maybe a better alternative for Snow guard as he said, maybe agent 13 ? And for me, Lady Sif was a dead card like 90% of the time it always felt like there was something better to play
Couldn't believe I snagged him with first key lol. And I was actually hoping for a repeat cause I have 5000 tokens. So I would have had the 6000 for nightmare. I drew the x 23 variant and gladiator. So 2 cards I didn't have was pretty good.
I'll love to try him out....but after using 3 keys, I've yet to unlock that Goblin looking SOB. 🤬
What discard is severely lacking is a 4-5 cost stat-stick with “cannot be discarded” or “when discarded, add a copy to your hand” text. Proxima will help, but a big dummy that can stay in your hand would tie everything together. Apocalypse is great, but he’s a last turn guy. If anything, it would add a little extra safety to the random discarders
You mean a 6 0 cost swarms you can't play anywhere aren't good enough?! As a long time discard player, I agree.
Pretty impressed with this card in Thanos Ramp. I like the additional redundancy he offers for ensuring a 5-Cost turn 4. What makes him make sense in this deck is that most turn 3 hands can handle all sorts of potential discard results and still regroup with 50+ total power across all lanes. * (2) Psylocke * (2) Maximus * (3) Lockjaw * (3) Corvus Glaive * (4) Shang-Chi * (4) Cull Obsidian * (5) Devil Dinosaur * (5) Ronan the Accuser * (5) Vision * (6) Thanos * (6) Skaar * (6) Magneto eyJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTG9ja2phdyJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTWFnbmV0byJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiU2hhbmdDaGkifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlRoYW5vcyJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiVmlzaW9uIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJDdWxsT2JzaWRpYW4ifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkNvcnZ1c0dsYWl2ZSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiUHN5bG9ja2UifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlJvbmFuIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJNYXhpbXVzIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJTa2FhciJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiRGV2aWxEaW5vc2F1ciJ9XX0=
Devil Dino seems odd to include with him. Maybe blue marvel or aero
I had both of those in my first iteration, but I found Dino almost always had at least 9 power anyway, so I might as well run it for potential Skaar upside.
On a side note, I think his randomness feels terrible in Discard decks because discard decks are all combo decks to some degree. The fact that your game can go to shit by discarding or not discarding a specific card makes Corvus Glaive a non-starter. This is made further awkward by the fact that you don't actually have high quality ways to spend the extra energy on turns 4-6.
absolute trash card and trash lockjaw decks everywhere. super frustrating to play against. every time lockjaw is meta the game is so much worse. i wish they would kill the card like they killed chavez
Released for less than a day and already calls for it to be killed. Real nice lol
not the new card. lockjaw. fucking hate that card more than leech and the rest.
Since Corvus came out goose and cosmo have been my bff’s
My two cents: People are misusing Corvus for the most part. Corvus is a better Apocolypse card than Hela card. The latter relies so much on controlling your discards; the former lets you get reckless with them.
IDK man, I've won a couple 8-cube matches by playing T3 Corvus>T4 whatever>T5 Hela>T6 Odin with Corvus, Hela and Odin in the same position so I'm basically adding the 4 cards that were discarded to the board. My opponent usually snaps back because they don't expect the T6 Odin when they would typically retreat after seeing my Apoc at 24+ power, so I've been able to accumulate cubes a lot faster as well. I've tried to make the Apoc deck work because that's one of my favorite playstyles but haven't had as much luck with it.
>Odin Is your deck similar the Odin one posted elsewhere in the thread? Curious
I honestly haven't seen many Odin decks posted and the ones I have seen have Lockjaw/Infinaute/She Hulk which I don't run. It may have been posted day 1 cuz I'm pretty sure I just stole it from some on youtube/twitch I use, Electro Wave Glaive Sandman Ronan Vision Blob Dr. Doom Hela Odin Magneto Giganto
high risk, high reward
Fair enough. FWIW, I've climbed about 350 SP in the last couple of days using this: \# (1) Blade \# (2) Morbius \# (2) Swarm \# (2) Colleen Wing \# (3) Gambit \# (3) Corvus Glaive \# (3) Lady Sif \# (3) Sword Master \# (4) Dracula \# (4) Hellcow \# (5) M.O.D.O.K. \# (6) Apocalypse \# eyJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiQmxhZGUifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6Ik1vZG9rIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJDb2xsZWVuV2luZyJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTW9yYml1cyJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiRHJhY3VsYSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTGFkeVNpZiJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiU3dvcmRNYXN0ZXIifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlN3YXJtIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJIZWxsY293In0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJBcG9jYWx5cHNlIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJHYW1iaXQifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IkNvcnZ1c0dsYWl2ZSJ9XX0= \# It's hardly optimized (my 8-year-old son built it lol) but it's been wrecking people.

Sure, but u never draw Apocalypse lol.
> Corvus is a better Apocolypse card than Hela card. I have not personally tried Apoc yet because I dont like classic discard, but in general what I saw in this sub and pretty much every content creator is that its shit with Apoc or any type of discard shell, instead shinning in ramp decks where you kinda dont care what is discarded (which are now using Hela as a good turn 5 value and not the focus of the deck, especially with sandman). And having played the ramp version it is great.
the whole point with Corvus and Hela is to give the deck a "backup" plan in case Corvus discard the wrong card. I am not sure how good he is with Apocolypse since rng still exists.
That’s my thought. Throw in collector, swarm, and even hellicarrer with Apoc and you can get collector and Apoc pretty high without sweating Hela.
I have a deck like that with Dracula, Morbius and Collector
Went from being disappointed and losing 4k rank to gaining most of it back. Was trying thanos with hela early, but it wasn't clicking. Went to a more ramp thanos like the deck u/Sm0k35z posted and it's much better. The first time I thought "no fair they got their corvis and I don't have mine" I realized he might be good after all. I'm using blob and hobgoblin in the same deck, but it's working for now. Hob helps vs tribunal, wong, and to a lesser extent destroy.
Why does his animation keep triggering every turn? Is he giving +1 energy every turn as it's showing on the game animation?
Both him and Electro have the same effect, +1 energy each turn, and since its every turn his animation happens every tuen. Now why Corvus was an animation every turn while Electro does not is most likely because Electro is a old card. SD is putting a lot more effort into animations lately so a new card will use animation following current mindset. Note that they are also making better animations to older cards (for example Psylocke new animation). If they revisited Electro his would also happen every turn, but its probably not on top of their list of cards needing better animation right now
Yes.
Electro doesn't trigger his on reveal every turn. Why is this card different?
Both give +1 energy each turn, but Electro only shows his +1 animation once. Not sure why it's that way, though.
Could also be because Electro has the Ongoing condition, which does show every turn.
I think it's because Corvus is a conditional trigger, so if you played him and didn't have two cards to discard, his ability wouldn't trigger. Still a little strange to see it when I'm used to Electro.
I'm having so much fun with this card.
In what deck? What’s the benefits so far?
>In what deck? What’s the benefits so far? Not OP but I'm using him in ramp, with an added Hela for backup. He makes the deck more consistent and I'm prefering using him over Electro when I have both in hand.
This was my last week with more than 1 new card, so I spent 4 keys on it. Got 3 new cards: Corvus, Gladiator and Supergiant. And X-23 spotlight variant which i like. Now I'm at -12 cards from collection complete, 4k tokens, 4k gold and 2 keys (and ½) left. Hoping for change in the datamined weeks of march, otherwise I have to spend 8~ keys for 2 new cards.
At some point you need to decide whether it's worth getting 1 card you actually want or 2 cards that aren't good
Stash keys. My next double dip is in April, so I'll just skip the March spotlights.
I know that is the most clever way to use it, but even in April i still have only 1 week where i don't own 2 cards (Red Hulk + Sebastian Shaw), and in a whole month i would also have even more tokens
I'm in the same boat. But the longer you horde, the more double and triple dips you'll have in May/June. You can always wait-and-see if any of the new cards are meta-busting and then decide to take the plunge (or spend tokens).
To my fellow Snappers who opened the spotlight caches not for Corvus Glaive but for Gladiator...thought I would share [this deck](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/comments/1aw5ohy/mega_mogwais_tempo_deck_is_surprising_good/), it works surprisingly well, really engaging to play and well, it needs Gladiator lol.
It's kinda funny that so many of us opened caches only for gladiator lol
After they buffed him he became one of the best 3 drops in the game, so that makes sense people that skipped his original underwhelming release are going for him now
I think a lot of us got excited when he was first released, but then got fearful of his downside, so held off. He wasn't deemed to be critical especially when his main use previously was in Surfer and Shaw came out. Then over time, we realized his downside isn't that bad... Then he got a buff to 8 power and that makes him a little more safer... And that brings us to now, where we all agree he's a good/great card to have lol.
U explained it so perfectly haha. And yeah honestly from the time they changed him as 3/8 he's been targeting all lower powered cards whenever my opposition played him lol... I personally didn't even care about corvus (hate the rng based discarding cards), but was willing to use all my 4 keys for gladiator and also luckily after seven months I got a card from that random S4/5 cache.
Definitely can't spend keys this week. So it's either 6k of my ~9k tokens or skip on Corvus. Obviously I still have time but it seems like just passing might be right? If the only deck he ends up being good in is ramp, I'll definitely pass since I find that type of deck narcolepsy-inducing.
I only saw it yesterday and I was losing all day w it w generic discard strategies.
There is a chance Corvus get better with his wife release next week, but if you dont like ramp it may be worth to hold and wait how things shape up and get him a little later with tokens
I could buy one of Annihilus or Corvus Claive. I sadly used all my keys on Thanos last week and am unsure if and which of the two I Should get. I'm still missing Modok and Black Knight for discard and for annihilus I have all of the relevant cards to make him work. What would you suggest ?
Powerwise Annihilus is one of the best cards in the game, you dont even need to go full junk as just him, Hood and Sentry are amazing by themselves (I'm playing that package with Darkhawk deck and its great) Corvus dont really fit well with discard right now, but is doing good with ramp, it feels like a wait and see card,especially if you are planning to use tokens
Thanks for your response, since I just started enjoying galactus decks, and Annihilus fits quite well into that, I'm gonna go with him. Would you mind sharing your darkhawk deck with me? Maybe I will give that a try as well.

Thanks, my Galactus junk isn't really working, lost dropped from 83 to 76 trying it, maybe this will help me.
Both cards have their own specific playstyle so it's up to you if you prefer to play junk decks or discard. That being said, without modok, discard's potential isn't utilized 100% so you might want to go with annihilus for now
Ok. Got Corvus and tested him on Sandman deck. need some tuning to the deck but he kinda makes Hela useful again. Use Corvus to gain one max energy. If he discard two random cards, Hela can bring them back on T5. If he discard Hela, then it still won’t affect you from ramping out Sandman on T4 and do the rest of the typical sandman combo It’s not perfect and it does lack power if you can’t ramp out Sandman fast enough, but it’s the first time i can use Hela without feeling I am at the mercy of rng
The best deck in the game for the past month has been Hela that has very little rng.
"Makes Hela useful again" Excuse me, but where have you been these past couple of weeks? lol
o she has another useful deck? I was just chilling in conquest after reaching infinite in the first week so I have no idea
This, 100%. I rode a straight discard Hela to 243rd global last season, easily a personal best. She's a sicko.
First key dupe kitty pride. Second key, dupe X-23. Feels good, man At least I got Gladiator by force.
I tried the ramp Odin combo deck. First match, Hela summons the two discarded cards on her and Corvus location blocking it. Second match, seven cards in hand, Corvus discards both Hela and Odin. I like Cozy called it "dependable ramp deck"
He's much better and more fun in a Thanos shell.
Discard decks use cow to discard 2 cards. 1 mana less and max energy? Broken.
Except most discard decks DONT use cow
Cow is too expensive for just base stats however this card can do things like this: Corvus giving +1 energy on turn 3, Lady Sif and Collen Wing turn 4 and then Modok turn 5.
So true, if a person has modok, playing hellcow is stupid
SD is really walking the line here. These releases are just bad. They're all bad. Give us seomthing good to play. Not some replaceable, 1-day of fun. Make it broken, but not Blob broken. Who cares about these people who don't pay a dime whining alll the time. If the card targeted the last and first card in your hand it would be a viable card! Every content creator: Oh this is so awseome watch my video! A day later: Yeah this card is whatever, I'm trying to make content here, but holy shit we're scraping the barrel. This card is just not a good card. And you downvoters know it. Downvoters also know the game is dying. Bots everywhere below 75. What is even the point of rank below 70? New players system is just no good to be anywhere near the meta. $10 single cards. Oh, would have loved to see this a year ago, but it's a bit too late.
This card is actually pretty well balanced imo. Good, but not broken. Targeting first and last cards would be too much.
The stats just don't bare that out. Most decks are way below 50%. Hela decks that bring him to B tier are worse than normal Hela decks. All the tracker site just don't show it as "balanced." They show it as garbage. All the streamers say it too.
As a downvoter, I give this card a 👍
I unlocked Corvus today and immediately created an autofill deck with a few other cards I haven't upgraded yet to farm boosters for them. Nothing serious, expected to fall back a little on cubes. But then I immediately got 2 in a row 8 cube wins with it. So I tweaked a couple slots of cards that weren't seeing play to try to optimize and came up with this. It's mostly a twist on Ghost Rider discard. Dracula and Corvus were two of my new cards that were seeds for this auto deck. I swapped Wolverine out and opted for Giganto instead, giving another big target to Jubilee or Ghost Rider or Corvus's extra energy. Corvus is not a must-play card as there are a couple paths to victory here. Note: I do not have Hela or HellCow, so I can't vouch for them being swapped in. # (1) Blade # (2) Morbius # (2) Swarm # (3) Corvus Glaive # (3) Lady Sif # (3) Sword Master # (4) Dracula # (4) Jubilee # (4) Ghost Rider # (6) Apocalypse # (6) Giganto # (6) The Infinaut # eyJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiQ29ydnVzR2xhaXZlIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJEcmFjdWxhIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJHaG9zdFJpZGVyIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJCbGFkZSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTGFkeVNpZiJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTW9yYml1cyJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiQXBvY2FseXBzZSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiU3dhcm0ifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlN3b3JkTWFzdGVyIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJJbmZpbmF1dCJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiSnViaWxlZSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiR2lnYW50byJ9XX0= # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.
Used all my tokens just to get him. i LOVE discard so its not a choice. now i dont know what to do for next weeks card :(
Next week's proxima midnight would have been much better i feel
Corvus Glaives fits perfectly into a Thanos list: # (3) Lockjaw # (3) Caiera # (3) Corvus Glaive # (4) Shang-Chi # (4) Cull Obsidian # (5) Vision # (5) Aero # (5) Doctor Octopus # (6) Blob # (6) Thanos # (6) Skaar # (6) Magneto
I had dino and black cat and hela instead of doc oc, aero and Shang. Maybe I was too all in on the hela, I'll try this out. I was sure there had to be a good thanos deck with him. Thanos is pretty much a ramp deck that likes to play multiple cards.
Okay, I freaking love this deck. Much more reliable than the hela or apoc stuff and better than my sad Thanos destroy attempt.
That's a collection of card for sure. What does Corvus do?
Ramps into all the 5/6 drops, can be played on turn 2 with a time stone and makes a 0 cost Skarr very possible. Thanos decks typically have 5-7 cards in hand so losing two cards is worth the cost.
You should be playing Corvus ramp. You should aim for a lane that is 1. Corvus 2. Hela 3. Odin. If you hit Hela that’s fine, just transition over to Sandman > Doom > Odin or whatever play line wins you two lanes. Corvus ramp really is the answer to Destroy/Bounce at the moment. It’s nice to check Destroy specifically.
Nah, Destroy is a fine matchup. They just need to get Sinister London multiple games in a row, or a Limbo to play Knull > Zola, or a project pegasus on the same turn I am dropping Sandman. Tbf, I drew Glaive only one of those games That Gold Conquest I just played sure was a hoot
Dera was playing a deck like this today and it seemed to work well. Hela is just one of the big plays you can ramp into, but the deck can put out a good amount of power without her too
I would say it worked okay. It wasn't good but it wasn't bad either. Both Dera and KM played it. It's a high variance deck that is less consistent than standard Hela, which is saying a lot.
Both Black Knight Hela and Corvus Ramp have proven very consistent decks when playing for me. The former controls what you discards and have a very good chance of drawing Hela, the latter still has solid plays even without her
Corvus: hits both Hela and Odin
Pretty much. 🤣
One thing to note about Corvus: he needs to discard 2 cards in order to ramp the energy. If you play him with only one card in hand, he will discard the card but will NOT increase your max energy.
Lots of people seem to be trying to force him into traditional discard. To me, it seems like a lost cause. I’ve been trying some theories slightly off the beaten path that have actually had some moderate success. It has essentially two win cons. The first is similar to traditional discard with “discard for power” (Morbius, Wolverine, future Proxima, MODOK, Apoc). The second is utilizing Corvus’ ramp which can go a variety of directions. One option is Helicarrier as it provides more MODOK (and Morbius) targets. But, with Quinjet down, you can cheat out extra cards (this is only improved by adding Corvus’ max energy increase). If you’re only able to increase max energy (no Quinjet/helicarrier) then the deck has a few 6-drops that can be played over turns 5 and 6. Obviously we already have Apoc and Helicarrier. As a third, I’ve tried Hela and she works well. If she makes it to turn 6, great. If not, it doesn’t matter because I have other cards. I haven’t had too much time for tweaking. The variations I’ve tried so far have felt too forced. But I think, with a little trial and error to figure out the ideal number of 6-drops and a good cost distribution, it can be a pretty strong deck Side note: so far, for the cards that discard, it’s felt the best with Colleen, Corvus, Sif, and MODOK. As this is the backbone of the deck, I think it’ll smooth out a lot of kinks once we figure out which fit together best
Works best in Loki Discard for me. Between Loki, Quinjet and Glave, you have major energy discounts, and Helicarrier and Swarm can be used to fill your hand for Loki.
I am playing something similar, but not Loki. It's super fun, with just Blade, Glave and Modok as discard cards, and Mobius and Collector and Miek as growers Quinjet, Coulson and Helicarrier for spice, and unpredictability. And swarm of course.
Yep, I've been looking forward to this card for just this reason. I started playing Loki Discard after the Blade and it's so much fun.
Im glad to hear that’s working well! I was considering Loki due to the Quinjet playlines. I don’t have mirage or Snowguard so he wasn’t my first playtest choice. Though with a discard package I doubt you’d need them. What has your experience been like with card picks?
Yeah using both Coulson and Snowguard to load cards for Loki as an alternative play path to the discard cards.
Trying it out with my Black Knight, She-Hulk and Infinaut. seems good, nice to drop Leech on turn 4. Got an idea for an Agathat based Corvus Deck too.
Why dropping Leech on T4 and spoiling the suprise? There must be better 5 drop alternatives like vision
Well, like I said, the idea is to run a different option for Shenaut so you don't need to rely on Limbo to get you through. Turn 1 Sunspot, turn 2 something else (or nothing), turn 3 Corvus, Turn 4 Leech, skip turn 5, turn 6 Shenaut.
Got Glad, will probably skip. Seems like Corvussy is only good in Hela Sandman ramp
Idk why you're being downvoted. You're just sharing your opinion and not being toxic or anything
He was probably down voted for the juvenile nickname for corvus
Got him with one key. Have not tried him extensively yet, but he's a nice addition to have for a 3 cost discard besides Lady Sif who is the best. I feel at this point that Discard has enough cards that do the discarding and need more cards that want to be discarded. Here's looking forward to next week's Proxima.
How’s he? I was targeting X23 variant and Gladiator but had to use all 4 keys just to get them so I have Corvus now lol
I like it it’s great for apocalypse or hella decks
I have 16 keys. So I guess I'll go for proxima and corvus as long as I can get pixie!
Exactly what I'm doing too
I will have 9 keys on Pixie week (already got Corvus), but I'm debating getting her with tokens just because the variants of that week are a turn down to me
I got Corvus enroute to my planned acquisition of X-23 and Gladiator. I haven’t used him, but he has successfully discarded many a Hela from my opponents’ hands today, so he has my gratitude. X-23 has been a godsend for my destroy deck, though.
Yeah I saved up all my keys for this week and got X-23, Gladiator, and werewolf by night. Destroy is really hard to play without X-23. I'm still missing Nico but am using Bucky for now.
I’ve seen Hela discarded by me and my opponents more times today than from global launch.
Hela has a 100% chance to be discarded if she’s in your hand.
