I like that the shop’s “Dark Fantasy” pack includes previous Season Pass cards. I haven’t seen some of these cards played in a long time. It’s nice to have new opportunities to acquire older art, and I hope SD continues to do this.

Captain America, Peach Momoko variant.

Captain America, Alex Ross variant.

My two favorite Caps.

SD should make more motorcycle variants, at least enough for an album.

Bucky Barnes’s Winter Soldier token, by Iban Coello, showing a symbiote Winter Soldier holding Captain America’s shield.

Captain America, Knullified variant by Julian Totino Tedesco, showing spiky growths on the shield to indicate corruption.

Maybe the shield is fine, but the paint is chipped?

I think the real answer is the “story” factor, the shield is invulnerable unless the damage goes with the story. There are a couple of cards that show a changed shield (Winter Soldier with damage, Knullified Cap with growths on it).

Lost game #1. (Bonehead mistake on a location, not the deck’s fault.)

Fortunately I spent the last couple of weeks farming boosters.

I’m going to have a lot of fun tanking this deck’s stats, thanks for sharing!

It’s a sad commentary on the NYT that I can’t tell whether their economics reporter is trolling for engagement (bad), or completely ignorant about the economic effects of the biggest change to the public health system in recent memory (worse).

Magik, Peach Momoko (II) variant, with frosted glass background, blue ice border, and snowflakes.

I also like the Ninth Circle of Hell version.

Magik, Peach Momoko (I) variant, base background, red distressed border, red krackle.

Such a change in mood from Momoko’s first Magik variant. I love the way she does so many different things while maintaining her unique, distinctive style.

Magik, Peach Momoko (II) variant, with base background, red distressed border, and red krackle.

Magik, Peach Momoko (II) variant, with ink background, red distressed border, and red krackle.

Magik, Peach Momoko (II) variant, with gold background, red distressed border, and red krackle.

Love the new Magik! I’m not ever going to complain about getting another Peach Momoko variant.

Green Goblin, Venomized variant by Francesco Mattina.

Green Goblin, Nikola Čižmešija variant.

Hobgoblin, Nikola Čižmešija variant.

The new Green Goblin Venomized variant by Francesco Mattina is wonderfully creepy, a good fit for the Halloween season.

For me, the Goblins are all about chaos and fiery explosions, and it’s hard to beat the feeling of Nikola Čižmešija’s versions. Green Goblin is from The Gang’s All Here album.

Blob, Hellfire Gala variant by Mateus Manhanini.

Copycat, Don Aguillo variant.

Mirage, Justyna variant.

The Hellfire Gala Blob by Mateus Manhanini, the Don Aguillo Copycat, and the Justyna Mirage have all been on my wishlist for some time, and they popped up back-to-back-to-back in my shop this week.

Death, Dan Hipp variant, gold background, purple cosmic border, blue krackle.

Dan Hipp’s Death is my new favorite for a gold / blue krackle split. I’m still hoping for purple or gold krackle (for the Fiona Hsieh variant), but those have been elusive.

Deadpool next, please? How are there 28 Deadpool variants shown on snap.fan, but none by Hipp?

Nebula, Peach Momoko variant, base background, black cosmic border.

Nebula, Javier Rodriguez variant, base background, black cosmic border.

It’s been a good week for variants!

I don’t play Nebula as much now, but it was a big part of my first meta-relevant deck, High Evolutionary back in the Leech days.

The Momoko variant has been in the data mines forever, so glad to see it released.

The Rodriguez spotlight variant is still great.

Done with Sanctum!

Got it done using this Sauron deck by @scosco.bsky.social. He always has great ideas for starting out events. The meta’s evolving quickly and I might have needed some changes if I were playing longer.

I bought the event pass, didn’t have to buy scrolls.

The Brothers Sinister collection is great historical romance, a lot of fun to read. Courtney Milan writes historical romance very well, and I’m looking forward to starting her Wedgeford Trials series.

Enchantress, Chuma Hill variant, base background, black cosmic border, purple krackle.

Very nice Enchantress by Chuma Hill. I’ve been waiting for one that worked with purple krackle.

Screenshot of Sanctum showing text: “You gain 4 Scrolls every 8 hours (max 9). Win to keep your scroll!”

They love to hide the clickables in the UI!

Looks like scrolls max out at 9 this season.

Pressuring players to engage more than a once a day is one of the reasons I dislike High Voltage, not thrilled about this change.

Sanctum is still a fun game mode.

TVA shouldn’t be a location in it. It’s a real “feels bad” way to lose a scroll.

Nice, grats!

Wondering what to play for Sanctum Showdown now that they banned the 2 best cards (Cull&WWBN) & the 2 best Guardians as well as Surtur? Try these!

-Shang will be way better than on ladder
-Move will be strong
-Expect a ton of Zoo & Ongoing
-Play Copycat & Iron Patriot

Oh, bless you for this. (I’ve got them now, you can take your posts down).

Thanks! As always, love and appreciate your work!

Here’s the Ultimate Guide to Sanctum Showdown 3!

Okay, mostly just the economy stuff.

Most importantly — I’ll help you decide whether or not you should buy the Premium Event Pass!

1/🧵⤵️

Luchador variants, but not the usual Joverine / Kinnaird house style. Maybe Tony Moy?

Justice Sotomayor’s dissent in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District has been tremendously helpful for explaining why precedent currently has much less predictive value than it has in the past. That and Justice Jackson’s recent “Calvinball” analogy.

…Marvel Unlimited subscription?

I like that garbage booster decks highlight how much luck affects the outcome of individual games.

I don’t like it when they outperform my real decks by a substantial margin.

An awful deck. With Zombie Scarlet Witch.

Me, farming boosters: I am never going to win a match with this awful deck.

Me, an obscenely short time later: I quit.

I’m trying to think of any circumstances in which I would feel comfortable making a drunken, late night call to opposing counsel. About the case. While out socializing with their client. And… um… really having trouble there.

I don’t see how to get from “she said the prosecutor discussed her potential sentencing” to “nothing she said made me think they talked about the case.”
