Infinite climb is done! Used this most of the climb with minor differences here and there. Completely unnecessary to be playing Supergiant with Hawk package, main point of the deck being Supergiant. Trick is to play her on turn 5 against End of Turn decks and utilize Shadow King

I wanted to get a nice full day with The Thing and honestly, he is pretty good. Nothing you should go out of your way to get, but won enough games in unwinnable situations that I am feeling positive about the card. HERBIE is your flex spot. Can be SK, Armor, etc.

Infinity ticket #6 -

I battled Sauron (3 rounds, 10-3), Arishem (4 rounds, 5-2), and Thanos Arishem (5 rounds, 7-0).

Arishem always makes me nervous (Legion, Alioth, Tech). I just look for openings to win 4 or 8 cubes.

I used an @ika-m.bsky.social deck for PG and Silver.

I was having a rough climb to infinite for a few days, but came across this @ika-m.bsky.social deck (I think?) that was highlighted by Dekkster. I proceeded to trounce everyone for 4-8 cubes, with maybe 3 losses on the way. Deck code in alt text.

Spent most of stream climbing with @ika-m.bsky.social
"Wiccan Tempo" List. This list and "Good Bodies & Tech" have been the most Consistent this Season.

Currently sitting at 97. Will probably finish the rest of the climb this week.

60.7% WR, 34-22

Best HEBRIE home I have found personally. It does not have a way to utilize the double power activation but +2 energy is really useful here. Also its Wiccan, and I will always put in the work to bring you the best Wiccan decks

Day 1 infinite is done! The Moongirl move deck is one of my favourites of all time and Mr. Fantastic FS makes the list much butter. Rogue is there for uptick in MMM. Ideally you want Surge, Gwenpool, or Chi. The Galactus deck was also a blast. HERBIEs +2 energy really works well

I cooked a handful of meta decks and am finishing the season in top 50! Pretty good considering I consistently lose SP to test every deck idea that comes to me at 2am

When I cook, I cook. Feels like I haven't even optimized this yet and somehow it's still doing amazing. Simply wanted to mess around with Scratch and some Prof X+Skills. I am sure I'll have an even better version of this but for now, enjoy scamming wins

Aside from all the bugs that this card has, I genuinely found Dormammu boring. Do you like doing homework while playing destroy decks? if yes, then you'll love this card. Not a bad card I guess though.

It’s a good option for sure

I wish I had more than just a Sauron deck to share when it comes to Nightmare but that’s kind of all he is. I tried many decks, but there is time and room to explore still. Fun card, not a must get. Red Skull is insane with Nightmare though

Remember Anniture? The deck that was crushing the meta for a short little while back when Werewolf was in every deck. Well, Merlin makes it feel pretty good again. It's a bit of a tricky one to pilot, but I missed playing some pure Black Bolt Stature combo.

The Ancient One is a bit of a miss unfortunately. She is essentially a 6/5 with a powerful effect, but not something the likes of Moonstone or Prodigy cant offer for cheaper. The Ronan deck felt the best with Speed being a great target. Definite buff candidate.

I am away this week to a family gathering, however I managed to squeeze in some time to hit infinite. Mostly used the Wiccan Ronan deck but some of these other decks were fun as well. Mercury Cball combo is devastating. Looking forward to New Supergiant and Ultron cooks

Ran Ronan all the way to infinity avatar. Found Ronan works really well with Scream to give additional bodies on the board for you to move around and possibly clog with. Ronan is also just consistently big without much investment. Its a fun one

Xorn is fine. Just fine. I enjoyed variety of decks with Xorn but not much felt like it needed Xorn. I liked this Storm deck for that reason the most. Felt like Xorn was actually decent at denying lanes, but suffers a little bit from other people also playing move right now

Elixir might be the worst card I’ve played since launch Daken. It’s not fun, cool, creative, or useful. Multiple other cards do what he does and then some. I had moderate success with Hawk deck but I just don’t see why I can’t play the same deck with Grandmaster or PF. Mega miss

Dropping him to 10 power again would be a good start. Always having access to essentially 5/12 is a bit much for a deck that starts with more cards in hand and draws more cards than any other deck

Tech cards are overtuned and over represented in general but I’ve accepted that’s just what snap is.

We are one small nerf to Thanos away from an actually incredible diverse meta.

Few more fun decks that aren’t anything special

I like Prodigy but not enough to say you should get the card. It is an opportunity card like Rogue more than a mystique, but when he works, he works well. Just don’t go out of the way to set up the board for him. Recognize when opportunity is right to play him. Scream felt great

Early thoughts on the 4 new cards:
I like Topaz the most. Strong addition to most move decks other than scream style decks. Batroc on the other hand loves scream style decks and is really good. Fan Fei is powerful for the full on move decks and Stomper is honestly just okay

I want to share my current favourite deck. I put this together couple weeks ago and the meta seems to be more appropriate for this deck now, even after Scream nerf. It just does what it does well. Highly recommend this one!

This Captain Carter buff is a bit much

Objectively it’s correct to wait for next week

The created in hand cards have to be played but yes

Turns out Strange Supreme is a good card! Key is to not overinvest into him like the Kitty Mockinbird deck here that was my most successful list. Feels good in Thanos as well. The second deck is a fun one if you want to experiment. I climbed a lot with Sersi surprise wins

So Infinity Ultron will be going to 5/8. This is a big step forward for the card. One thing buffing the card itself does not address though is that 4/6 stones are lacking. buffing IU only makes the already 2 best stones better.
