Should You Get These NEW CARDS? | July 2024 Season | Marvel SNAP 

Gwenpool was a joke character that loves comic books and can manipulate the Marvel Universe by doing things like jumping panels and such.

Gwenpool will require some unique deck building. If you can empty your hand other than Black Panther, that makes him a 5-20. Do that with Brood and now you have a 3-24. Adding 6 power to some cards could be incredible

Copycat stealing Galactus card text and dropping down on turn three 😂 Sure, it’s hugely unlikely but could happen. Great fun for the chaos card enjoyers 👍

Docty NEVER ceases to get me excited for new cards!!

The point with Ajax is to know if it counts cards afflicted by on reveals or one time effects from locations wether there's a Luke Cage or not. Because Luke Cage works meanwhile his Ongoing ability is working, but the affliction on cards doesn't dissapear, it's just there, latently blocked by the Luke Cage ability. If it counts those cards, then you can put him in the classic toxic hazmat deck, having a really impressive finisher. I think Cassandra Nova will have yet a spotlight, no matter if she's in the Deadpool's Dinner.

Another interesting thing to think about with Copycat is that you can force a shuffle of your opponents deck. So Cable, Korg, Rockslide, Baron etc will make their deck shuffle and they may still draw the dud card. I am also guessing that Cassandra's ability forces a shuffle. So maybe there is a Surfer synergy with those 3 drops working together. Ripping power and abilities right out of the deck.

I feel like there's a huge gap between ajax and Bob vs copycat and cassandra. At least I know who to prioritise

Ajax sound like he work so well with a toxic high evo deck

I'm excited about Copycat and intend to spend 4 keys that week (I don't have Thanos), but the other cards don't excite me that much. Gwenpool has handbuff synergy and there are now a solid number of cards that benefit from handbuffs. Is it enough to carry an archetype? I don't think so

Gwenpool will see play in Zoo to maximise her buff, as you said... If you play her with too expensive cards because you are not able to play them maybe. Exited for Copy Cat and Cassandra.

Gwenpool was introduced in a Deadpool series, so, besides her being a joke character with kind of meta powers, that's the connection between the two. As for the ratings.... while I agree with most, I really do think that Bob is a bad card. Card that can move at the high risk of a snap that also your opponent can control? No thanks I'll just get Jeff.

gwenpool seems just good, no? didnt think much deep about her but 4/12 default stats and you can still pair it up with brood and ironman

Love the energy with the channel 🔥Just my own opinion here with the cards from Best to worst this season: 1. Cassandra nova- counters Arishem basically. She’ll have a lot of power, Shang chi her. 2. Copy cat- pray she doesn’t copy the text of infinaut, electro, or destroyer because if so you’re screwed lmao 3. Ajax- Prepare for a lot of high evolutionary and Luke cage. 4. Gwen Pool just…. Idk lol 5. Hydra Bob (awful card) so damn pointless it’s stupid, do NOT waste 6000 tokens on Bob. I personally wouldn’t even waste my time on this season unfortunately, not to be negative. If i were to get the cards, I’d stick with Cassandra, and ajax, and if I really wanted to, copy cat. These cards are gonna go south quick.

most of these cards i'll look forward to playing with when i play loki or arishem and generate them.

Only going for copy cat cz idk how she would be bad stealing the text just by drawing the card meaning you don't have to build around her you can just have her in many decks and also I'm missing all three cards so I would need all four keys so I like that I don't care about both ajax and bob.

I think Docty went too hard on Gwenpool flexibility. she should be at least 2 stars. Flexibility means how the card can be added in different decks, and Gwenpool doesn't hurt any decks (except Cerebro) so she can be played in any deck just to have bonus powered cards on T5/T6. If not the floor is 4/6 which is decent. She can also be great in Zoo style decks, Synergizes with Mysterio, Sasquatch, Brood. If you hold the 1 drops and play T4 Wong, T5 GP, those 1 drops are gonna be huge. Psylocke+Wong+GP. I can see "buffed Zoo" style decks appear with her & Phastos.

Is Bob good

I think Gwen will find a home somewhere, because on Turn 4 if you're playing on curve, it's almost certain that something you've been keeping in your hand will be worth playing later, and lots of cards have good synergies with getting buffed. She's also just so many stats that it feels like something will want to play her. Might be a good throw in to Arishem as well. Hydra Bob seems interesting but I dunno. Seems like a zoo card that encourages you to make risky snaps, and zoo fills locations anyway. Feels underwhelming. 1/4 that moves once just isn't that strong right now even without the additional risk. I think Ajax would be awesome if he were something like a 3/2, or a 2/1 instead of a 4/4. Toxic decks could really use him, but they want to play Wong on turn 4, not something like ajax. I have a feeling he will eventually find a home in high evo, but not until they implement some more of their planned changes. Copycat is going to be really good. Very confident on that. I think Cassandra Nova will be fine. Maybe even really good. It's already the worst when someone plays scorpion against you, and I'm sure someone will abuse her with grandmaster or something. Overall I think these cards look a little underwhelming and I'm hopeful that they get buffed a little so July isn't a boring month. However, worst case scenario is I just save a lot of keys for august, which looks amazing.

@Docty Two questions I have: (1) Does Hydra Bob move after every turn if there was a snap before but not in that current turn? If I snap turn 1 does he keep moving around like Silk until the end of the game? (2) Luke Cage's ability is "Ongoing: Your cards can't have their power reduced." So is there a possibility that your Typhoid Mary/Ajax combo could work if Luke is played turn 6? Which Ongoing ability takes priority? Ajax's or Luke's?

You are right, Casandra nova is going to be crazy against Arishem. Casandra, Darkhawk, Mystique...those cards are going to be insane(r) soon.

For Ajax, I’m cooking something up with the possibility of an early Luke, then do a Hazmat and Ajax on 6? Maybe figure out some Wong, mystique, magik combo

All these cards are cracked even Ajax if u play with Cassandra cause your own Luke might keep his power maybe and all the other cards in spotlight are also so good

I'm thinking Grandmaster/Phastos/Gwenpool/Shaw can actually become an engine in the game once she releases what do you guys think?

i doubt the thanos and cull obsidian happens as they were packaged together last time

I am super excited for hydra bob definitely the card I’m most excited for

If you play Ajax on 5, and Hazmat on turn 6 with a full board on both sides, wouldn’t Ajax have the potential to be a 5 cost 28 power card? Isn’t that good?

I think the hype around her is just cuz she’s a cool character, that’s why I’m excited for her and a 4/12 seems impossible to be bad

Saving for September and October spiderman and then symbiote. with the new activate I want to get them all

wasnt Ajax just datamined as a 5/5?

Cassandra is clearly a response (counter) to Arishem. And yeah i also see the copycat nerf incoming, way to strong like this imo.

Totally agree. The first time i saw copycat ability, I just think she will spy opponent deck and hand!! Let's put her in every deck and make my opponent confuse about why I snap?

Cassandra Nova will be unlockable through deadpools diner through a variant unlock and will also be in the spotlight caches

Copycat seems like she can’t possibly be bad 😊

Just my opinion, but I think if Copycat’s stats is lower than 3/5, she will be a bad card. She looks good now cause that stats makes her floor decent, if she loses the stats she will usually end up been an unplayable card cause you can’t control what text she will steal. Normally, there are just few cards serves as a “key winning condition” in one deck, so the chance to steal exactly that card is not high. For the current stats, I think Copycat is just a fine card. I don’t think she is good enough to compete with Nocturne or Red Gradient, but yes, she will be a good cube stealing card.

Copycat seems pretty good but the 3 drop spot for a lot of decks is soooo tight. I'll be interested to see of shes better than nocturne or red guardian in most decks

Its going to be zabu or psylocke into wong into gwenpool for +12 power... Even without zabu or psylocke playing wong on 4 and gwenpool on 5 is still a really strong play.

I mean if you can pull off the scorpion into Cassandra, Ajax should be juiced. Unless they play Luke.

Gwenpool with a deadpool and panther zola package? 😅 idk

I saw someone like this video!

Respectfully I have never opposed somebody's opinions so much. Literally ever card I have the opposite view on its so crazy

Ajax shouldn’t lose his buffs with luke cage. The cards are still inflicted. It’s just that their stats aren’t lowered, so Ajax will still work. At least this is how I believe it will work based on how mechanics in the game function.

Thanos should kill half of your opponents team when you snap

What the heck is deadpools diner??? Is that a different website or ap? What is it?

Ajax going into scorpion, man thing, us agent and spider woman BOOM!

Thanks for the info Docty. There's no way we are getting a free card. The amount of farming you would need to do 😂

Im excited for Copycat. Obviously you could get some terrible RNG and steal the Destroyer text lol. But, most of the time, even if the ability you steal is a dud, you still played a 3-5 that got you some valuable information

I just want to play Selene turn 1, Scorpion turn 2, and Cassandra turn 3. I'm not claiming it's meta, I'm claiming that's my kind of fun lol. Maybe Iron Lad into an Odin hahaha 🤣.

Gwenpool and Copycat other than that it time to pass for September/October seasons

Is it possible that cards are still technically inflicted even when Luke cage is out? Only way Ajax makes sense.

Gwenpool is a jacked version of Iron Heart. She will be ridiculous in Wong decks.

Luke cage prevents your cards from having their power lowered. If you raise ajax's power with typhoid Mary, it shouldn't be reduced when you push Luke Cage.

Hope they keep giving a free series 5 card each season... The acquire system is awful, ive been playing since day one and i dont even have galactus yet xd

Honestly the OTAS are a double edged sword. They kill cards you've dropped 6k and they're like SORRY NOT SORRY , and then when a card is under/OP they're like "we were incompetent in the balancing department and we want more money" BUFF 😂 pretty scummy imo. They're always safe and they have no accountability. It's such a cheap safe net but then again on the flip side some cards that need love do get it like vulture or Herc

Copy cat can be great

Ajax is just garbage, honestly. Luke Cage is everywhere now, and at least present enough on ladder that decks that revolve around sapping power are pretty useless when you match into him. He gains zero benefit from sapping your own cards (essentially having zero effect besides consolidating that power to one card, which is terrible) and your opponent plays Cage and he’s just a 4/4. Wildly awful. He will absolutely be buffed

Ajax is now a 5/5 for everyone that didn’t know.

Ajax is a 5/5

New gwenpool and hydrabob look like trash. Many of these cards this season are just bad, 4 cost card tend to not work out very well.

Rip nakia

Hydra bob sounds like the worst card of the season. Your giving your opponents control to manipulate cards. This card gonna lose people a lot of matches. Bob is almost as bad as Agatha tbh

Ajax as he is right now is possibly the worst card of the year.

she was a 3 3 so she could have been played early and was a 3 9

bob > snap > miles , 2 mana 10 power lfgggggggggggg!!!

hear me out: gwenpool moon girl zoo. she turns mysterio into a 2/6 and two 2/2s. you build it to have a low curve with lots of tokens. something like (1) hood (1) nico minoru (1) iceman (1) squirrel girl (2) dazzler (2) goose (2) armor (2) mysterio (3) shanna (4) moon girl (4) gwenpool (5) mockingbird fill up the board a little on turns 1-3, and set up your hand with cheap stuff to duplicate (mysterio, mockingbird, dazzler, demon are all good targets). squirrel girl and shanna to discount mockingbird. gwenpool on 4, moon girl on 5 is ideal, but it’s also ok to do them in the other order, or if you just get one and not the other. i play similar lists (i’ve gotten to infinite multiple times with a deck that swaps out this gwenpool package for sunspot + she-hulk) and i think this will be a serious upgrade. the best part about the strategy is that you hide a huge amount of stats in your hand to make a huge board swing on turn 6. seems fun at least.

i can see a nerf to luke cage again soon that will make ajax / scorpion / casandra nova / hazmat a deck

Gwenpool was much better when dhe was the lower cost but i guess there's ways around it like zabu and psylocke to get her out sooner. With that said ill get her because she has potential. Hydra bob looks unplayable besides maybe in zoo decks. He was better st 2/5 with that other ability. I think ajax should be great for toxic decks or high evo. Copy cat is interesting and might be my favorite card in the boxes next season. But I'm not sure if she's as great as you think.

Cassandra Nova in mill decks? 🤔 Will Luke Cage counter her effect? 🤔 This season cards are kinda meh for me, even the art is not amazing but that’s just my thoughts.

That Gwenpool variant is awesome. PANDART always putting out nice variants.

Bob is rly good with the other move cards that were datamined like Madam web and others

what u mean, Cable may steal the buttom card? Cable says "The top card"

First!

Dude Gwenpool is a 4/12 that you can choose the targets, so in reality she's even better than that. She seems crazy strong to me.

Git to be the worst season yet

Really showing the lack of imagination with the Gwenpool take. Theres so many busted combos you can do. Cost redux and copy abilities, not to mention Wong work crazy good with this ability.

Holy crap. I already wanted Copy Cat as I love cards that add some randomness and unpredictably, and also don't own Cull yet. But wow I didn't understand that she gets the ability in hand, AND denied the text to your opponent. And she's 3/5!? Wild
