I GOT SAURON!! He's perfect for BIG OFFGOING decks! 

You’re absolutely right about featured locations. I hate being forced into deck choices so I typically just put the game down when there are featured locations.

Fun comic fact about Sauron: He picked that name, in-universe, not because he's a dinosaur but because he's a huge Lord of the Rings fan. That is not a joke.

12:23 Regis : "i think we care about the stats on Sauron frankly" Also Regis a few minutes ago : *sends down 60 power Red Skull*

I like how Sauron buffs the Lizard, removing his debuff. Both are people with the intention of turning people into........something

Its impressive the amount of variety that marvel snap provides I mean, hearthstone first year had at most 10 different decks with almost the same ends and game plan But marvel snap has at least 30 variety of decks and archetypes where you can play in 30 different ways

I love your energy, especially your laugh and reactions to funny moments. Had a rough day, this put a smile on my face and was a great distraction. Thank you 😊

Personally featured locations are great. Maybe you end up seeing the same or similar decks after a while but it's also different from the same meta hugging decks you usually see/go against so it's a bit of variety in opponents.

I think featured locations are fun when they make off meta decks stronger, alter of death sucks because it makes already meta decks even more prominent

death's domain works like the altar, in terms of aero

My only issue with featured location is that it feels like they all make the hood/Nova/carnage package good. Except lamentis -1 that just made death insane

He popped up in my shop yesterday and I thought of you. Glad to see your white whale didn't elude you for too long.

"The ultimate Leader counter is just not playing any card". It's even more fun cause it's kinda true!

The ultimate Leader counter: just don't play cards. I nearly choked on my drink I was laughing so hard, amazing

I think you're totally right about locations. The games has a very diverse library of cards comprising many different strategies and for the most part those strategies are all viable. The game is balanced around locations not benefitting either player or strategy in-particular because they are random and vary greatly. When a certain location is featured it feels like it takes what is normally a very diverse game and then makes it very homogenous by greatly benefitting a certain strategy. Maybe they could award extra xp or some currency for the use of a certain featured card every once in a while or make a certain card avaliable to all players to try out for a bit. It might achieve a similar effect of players getting an addition incentive to expirement without having games that just feel like if you don't go all in on whatever is being pushed you will have a bad time.

That second game felt so good oh my god

Congratulations on that card big man

That galactus happened to me before 😂 I was so mad. I had the win and it was turn 4. So I had plays after it as well and whiffed so hard after snapping 🤣

This deck looks like a lot of fun.

Remember when Regis ran a Shuri deck pretending it was a Sauron deck.

18:30 I was really surprised by the tunnel vision on the right Sinister london... Wasn't splitting the power straight up better there?

Maybe it's just my lower ranks, but I don't find featured locations are that much of an issue. I already tend to play one deck at a time for a couple days before swapping around, it just prompts me to change to a slightly altered one with cards that I don't put in otherwise.

Actually Galactus works on both Altar of Death and Death's Domain if an additional card is present and is played before the Galactus since it gets destroyed. But anywhere else it stops Galactus' trigger.

I enjoy the featured locations for changing "the meta" but I agree that it wears out its welcome. Maybe limit it to just 24hrs

Nothing is as satisfying as winning against Leader players.

This looks like my kind of deck! I still need Red Skull and Sauron though…

just got sauron in the shop, not gonna buy him because i’m saving for thanos but it’s super cool to see the new card when it comes out, glad it wasn’t shanna lol.

I got Knull at 1200 today from a collector reserve!

Echoing what others have said in the comments I feel that reducing the chance of the featured location appearing and reducing the time the featured location is featured would both be great changes

good video, Ty!

Hey, does Electro keeps his +1 mana ability after you used Sauron?

21:12 It's so satisfying to see leader play copy nothing 🤣

In regards of the featured location, if it was only for a day it would be fine, but it overextended its welcome, furthermore considering we have hot location's sunday. I also find it extremely annoying for the same reason that after a couple hours I just want to play another deck but it would be not only inefficient it just discourages playing anything but the most efficient expecting that location to pop on any game. I've faced more self sacrificing decks in the last few days than anything else, or decks that were forced to play something like Storm, Rhino, or Armor to straight up block that location.

"I dont want to cure cancer! I want to turn people into dinosaurs!" -this is a strong mood... Love your energy but...

isnt beeig able to play ebony maw after turn 3 a bug, since this is not part of his ongoing effect?

Subscribing bc i love your laugh

i love the : oh it's ok i can play vision on death domain *1 seconde later, his vision get yondu's

replacement for Shuri? haven't obtained her yet.

Cant wait to play him after how many months.

Think 24 hours is the sweet spot for featured locations. Would probably be too much technical work, but maybe have a different queue for people who want to play on the featured location, and another for those who want the normal location pool. Or maybe just run location destroyers.

For thanos, just check there number of cards in deck, if it’s +6 than normal Boy then it’s only then a THANOS deck

Featured location should be a little bit less common, or only for 24h or so.

wtf I just got a Regis ad for glasses on one of ur videos

13:14 Westview becoming Mirror Dimension is funny to see.

While watching this video, I just got Knull from a Collectors Reserve, I haven’t even finished Pool 3. I’m currently Collection Level 1,366

8:25 “I don’t know why they’re different” Well, I’m here to explain although take it with a grain of salt because it’s more a hypothesis rather than fact. Maybe due to altar of death being a new location they made it with a different code than Death’s domain and not just copied and pasted it. But due to not doing that it, perhaps death’s domain reads a card that gets revealed there as “played” whereas death’s domain doesn’t. But, that’s just a small theory of mine so…idk

Well thank God idecided to take a break from the game. I'll wait out altar of death, destroy decks are tiring

Most of what I got from this video is that Shuri is absolutely broken.

Twice when you did the She Hulk/Taskmaster play at the end, you chose to play the She Hulk in a lane that reduced her power, which meant that TM would copy the lower power. Is there a reason why you chose to do it like that instead of playing She Hulk in the lane that doesn't alter her power and copying that?

Love it

The Dark Lord Dinosauron

What about professor X?

Normally featured locations are not that bad. Altar tho makes decks that can abuse it too much lead. Usually you can ignore the featured location if you want to play normally, but this week i feel like I play "destroy/ramp" or I'm losing 40% of games.

I enjoy Featured Locations for the most part, but this one is just sooo impactful you have to play Altar meta or a counter to it to really succeed in it. I had fun playing Deadpool for once, but I also agree it should pass on. Maybe if it was just 24 hours, and not 48 hours. Maybe just better when new locations aren't super impactful

that pass at 21:00 was something beautiful

How about Sauron with electro since the on reveal gives max energy but the ongoing limits you to one card

I partially disagree with you on the locations. They can be a hit or miss but this particular location has been the most fun I have had in the game since launch. I think it all comes down to play style and deck preference. Right now my favorite decks are Knull based and have been for the past few weeks so this elevates that experience for me. However it does suck for other decks. There have been many locations I don't enjoy but honestly it's not that bad.

Would sauron work with patriot?

Regis what do you think Sauron with Electro

They should make featured locations only for the weekends

What does she hulk do in this deck?

electro will be perfect for this deck! xD

why does the layout look deferent them mine, also why not both cure cancer and be a dino

i def agree what you said about the featured locations im so over altar of death already :D

So Sauron does remove all abilities on ongoing cards, not just the ongoing portion? I would have thought you still couldn't play Maw late

i added patriot to this deck since half of my deck isn’t gonna have abilities 😂

What’s up with vision and she-hulk? And why no enchantress?

You know your video about a zero deck from before the game was globally out was what got me hyped for the game. I started at launch, have pretty much played everyday, bought each season pass, and bought the sunspot bundle and I can still can’t make the deck. And now, right when I’m so close to it, they release Sauron, which I have no chance of getting for 3-4 months.

Sauron: He could cure cancer, but instead he makes Dinos P.s. a thought occured to me again when I was watching these games.. Cerebro Prime (7-5-3); Maximus, Ebony Maw, Vision, Wolfsbane, Gamora are all 7, and Taskmaster could very often be, too, 🤔 I would almost think about Silver Surfer, Mister Negative, and run the new buffed Nakia, to make your Doctor Doom 7, and if you got real lucky, a 7 power Blue Marvel. Even if not, he works well at each of the 7-5-3 breakpoints, bringing up Nakia, too. Maybe Magik and Onslaught?? 🧐

Wait what about electro

The leader fail lmao

I would still put armro in this deck to use before u play souron

Why not Luke Cage?

On the second game why your red skull didn't get destroyed is because you didn't play the card on the death domain. Also death domain and altar of death works the same except altar of death give +2 energy next turn (which is so much) hope they nerf the location soon enough

I feel like featured and hot locations are great but last too long. They should like, gradually make them happen less and less over the course of their featuring, or just make it so that once you see it three times you have the option to deactivate it and just be in a separate matchmaking pool in which you don't have the featured location

Regis man you need to tell ban the brood aka 4 mana 7/7 to let us get 50 tokens every day that is ganna help the game a lot still a lot of work but so much batter

Man I wanna be a dinosaur

There's two types of hot locations to me. The ones that are cool without being too warping like Machineworld and the ones that completely warp the game around them like Altar of Death where its actively detrimental not to play one of the two decks that benefit most from it.

lore anti synergy on devil dino

the galactus dude literally bought galactus, paid for a variant of him, created a whole deck surrounding him, and yet he does not know that his on reveal doesn't work when there are any cards at that location at all (both revealed and unrevealed)

Day 2 of asking where u stream, which platform u stream on

having shuri, she-hulk, sauron etc... most people with leader are just trying to counter these unreacable for them cards :(

Sauroffgoing

I'm Surprise you didt put patriot

but have you heard of sauron's younger brother sau'kon?

Electro seems like a good add in this deck huh

I think you could have skipped turn 5 around 18:00 to play around shang chi

As long as armor is on board before Sauron it's still viable in this deck isn't it ?

I like Featured Domains and I think Altar of Death is neat. Though, as context, I really only switched out one card from my Sentry deck (added Electro) so I wasn't really forced to switch decks. Also I'm in the 50's which isn't not competitive but also isn't high enough that you're only seeing the meta decks. I think that changes my experiences a bit. Also, as people mentioned, Altar and Death's Domain work the same other than Altar giving energy. Both kill everything that is played but doesn't destroy anything that is moved/added. I think that opponent just got confused and thought it was the location that destroys everything that moves there.

Lizard is not a dino sauron is not a dino ether he was turned into one in the savage lands by magneto

My solution would be to make hot locations and new cards release on different days. Like releasing cards Thursday once the hot location is over.

Aero tilts me way more than Leader lol... honestly most of the jank I play is resistant to leader... but Aero... it's like well yea if I was a complete idiot and played my card there, then yes, I would lose, that's why I didn't want to play it there!!!! lol so annoying

I still think the other version with Cosmo and armour is better because literally everybody is playing shang chi

40% of the time. You get it all the time.

12:22 He is a Taiwan RU-vidr

OK, but why does he want to turn people into dinosaurs?

Just checking in to say that featured/hot locations are the absolute worst *gameplay* feature of any game I regularly play, and it is not close. Hey Mr Brode, why did you make a game where my decks are only useable 4 out of the 7 days of the week?

I have to disagree with you saying Sauron is better than Sentry. I think Sentry is an amazing card when properly utilized from one of your previous Marvel Snap videos.

A big reason for the variety are the locations. They bring so much fun and surprises to the game. Featured locations suck because they deny the surprise factor

I think venom could be decent as an additional "silence" effect

Hot take, we NEED a competitive mode in this game that eliminates the featured location, we would of course still have a casual game mode with the featured locations but goddamn I'm so tired of essentially being forced into certain deck types that I don't have the best cards for when Rickety Fucking Bridge is the hot location. If your game has a mechanic that literally just makes me Not want to play at all then you Have something wrong with your game.
