Guys I got my first infinite . I've been playing since launch but never managed it before

For the phastos wasp interaction, Glenn gas confirmed phastos can roll -1 cost on 0 costs, effectively doing nothing

I don't like drinking pool water 😢

I feel like Echo is a cube thief that is often hidden in plain sight. I can't tell you how many times I have forgotten about Echo and she then ruins my day.

I am completely confident in my un confidence that Phastos is a must buy. I bet out the gate he will be mid, but Eventually someone will cook and that deck is going to benefit majorly from him. When that happens you'll be punching air that you didn't get him like when you passed on Cannonball or Pixie.

I think Phastos could work well in Destroy... the deck scales extra power just as well if not better than Surfer and with Nico it has the ability to dig deep into the deck. Thanks for the weekly dose of Snap ❤️ much love to both of you

The hat Shadow King is wearing is called a fez hat

2.5 stars for Phastos seems crazy to me. Unlike Sersi or Pixie etc.. his randomness never bites you in the ass, It's always beneficial. Yes he sucks if you draw him on T5 or T6, but so do a lot of great cards. I also think he'll be. a lot more versatile than people think. I could see him slotting into a lot of different deck types.

22:37 small correction here, If Shadow King goes up to a 2/4, he will immediately reduce his power back to 2 when played unless on a Cosmo or something.

the hats called a fez btw gents! 😆

I think Phastos could be fun with Arishem. Dream scenario, you play Quinjet one one, Phastos on two, with the extra energy from Arishem, and then pretty much every card you draw is nutty. Not saying the deck will be consistent or good though lol

Mr. Canada and Mr. Beach talking about pools…with the 110-120 degree summer over here in Phoenix, the pool is a must if you’re going out in the middle of the day. And a nice big community is even better, it doesn’t turn into bath water like the smaller pools do

For Phastos my initial desk list was a combination of both of their main ideas. I think a Phastos/Thanos/Zoo featuring Blob could be nuts. Maybe even throw lockjaw in there if the stones cost zero. I'm really looking forward to Phastos' release.

I've been playing a Rocks and hawks deck with werewolf bounce and I randomly threw both shadow king and enchantress in there and they have been performing great! Even some turn 6s are just shadow king one lane and enchantress another and just shut down everything they did

"Gallons of piss" was not on my bingo card today 😂😂😂

I've been building up keys for months to especially get Arishem and Phastos too! I'm at 7 keys with some more upgrades to get 8 so I should definitely get both! Phastos just seems really good overall! Even on turn 5, if it's your WHOLE deck, your next card will have extra power (like America Chavez) or discounted!

I'm digging the inked Thanos with the red frame. That's 🔥

Shadow King = Grunkle Stan with the fez

I think he is guaranteed to be good in surfer and Thanos. Can be cool in Pixie decks. He seems like a slightly worse Hope which is still good. People are underrating this card because they don't want to fall for another War Machine lol

Scarlet Witch is such a cube thief! I especially love playing her in Limbo (bonus points if you do it against the annoying Mister Negative combo deck), and you can also play her on turn 6 with another 4 and make a big swing.

9:37 Woah, yeah, I didn't realize he could affect 1 cost cards! I feel like they might change that now that it's been pointed out but we'll have to see haha

Are you a pool guy? Are you a guy that likes pools? Alex : I like water. 😅

Arishem. I already get to play him. In every District X game I run into

With space being a problem in most surfer decks, im tempted to try venom in it.

I think arishem and phastos will be great together, since you get + 1 energy u will be able to get phastos out on turn 2(if hes in your hand^^). So people only going for arishem might be disappointed if they dont pick up this card, just a thought i had tho

I've always understood the power of shadow king, for me, the problem has always been the issue of being awkward to play. And his hat is called a fez👍

Shadow King's hat is a Fez.. and I would LOVE to see you BOTH rock one for an episode!

With that opening I'm SO glad I decided to watch this on my lunch break. XD

34:43 Took that exact deck from 73 to infinite in 2 days this season, it's definitely a sneaky one

Phastos would also work really well with Black Panther or Iron Man!

Imo Phastos seems like he’s kinda essential for a GOOD Arishem deck. It’s expensive, but Phastos, Sersi, and Arishem seems EXTREMELY unpredictable but powerful of the RNG works in your favor.

Everyone be talking about the Darkhawk package, the Annihilus package, the Kitty Angela package, but noone be talking about the Thanos package of Thanos, Skaar, Sasquach, Cull and Mockingbird, as a Thanos enjoyer I really think its underrated!

"Jasmine left him, hes in shambles" 😂😅 dude youre just consistently nonchalantly funny

The hat on Shadow King is a Fez. Typically worn in Egypt/Turkey etc

Love these two. Thanks for the video

"pool water has this spiciness to it" 🤣🤣🤣

Phastos will probably show up in surfer lists with brood, a natural inclusion. His ceiling is probably however popular surfer gets and it's always been relevant so he seems like a solid card but not game breaking. If Hope didn't break surfer then this probably wont, the two cards are probably close to interchangeable, maybe Hope runs Sage/Glad over Brood or something

Phastos is probably a zoo card if you're more focused on mirrors than teching against Killmonger and Loki. Last three turns are kazar, blue marvel, gilgamesh + mocking bird and Phastos let's you sneak in extra 1 drops in that line.

I already have a Phastos/Arishem brew for similar reasons to the Thanos synergy. Throw Blob in there and all of a sudden those +2s get a lot juicer

I know deck space is pretty tight but I have been thinking about Phastos in Tribunal decks. It's potential redundancy with the energy cheat but even hitting cards like Iron Man and Mystique with the +2 power could help quite a bit.

Damn, my rng is on point. Got sersi first cache then Phastos after, now i have enough for arishem to❤

I recently played a bunch of games with Tribunal. Took me about 10 games to get Ravonna to play on Turn 2. Got the feeling that Phastos will feel the same amount of bad feeling when you don't get it on time. The effect seems strong but the frustration of missing out is gonna hurt the card. Don't see how you could go higher than a 3 star right now.

i feel so dumb. Here's an idea, a zoo deck with jane foster; you just play phastos on turn 3 or 4, then play jane foster and then you have a bunch of free 1 costs

Lol. I just stuck your cube thieves into a deck and auto filled. Got infinite from 88 in no time.

Think phastos works better in a greed surfer list than the more tech forward builds. With Magik to give you more turns to draw the phastos cards. However I believe the deck he will be the best in is bounce.

LOL!!! Shadow king is wearing a fez boys ❤️

The current toxic surfer list is the best sleeper deck but it’s also extremely tight, the list is the same posted but Shaw instead of Psylocke. Phastos can replace perhaps cage but it’s too tight to tell for sure if it fits there

I think he would be great in destroy / Deadpool deck. High roll you hit your knull and play it on 5 and A Zola it on 6 Low roll you boost your Deadpool by 2 if you don’t draw into it

Adam warlock phastos is gonna be the new meta I swear

Shadow King is wearing a Fez.

Dev's have confirmed that 0 cost cards still have a 50/50 chance of getting -1 cost. They are not guaranteed to get the +2 power. Which is unfortunate but they said it was because it could lead to some very niche but potentially game warping/breaking stuff.

Surely Nimrod is going to love Phastos? Earlier chance to play and spread Nimrod OR more power to Nimrod before you spread him...? What's not to like?! Another great video, thanks to both of you 😊

I don't see any downside to Phastos at all! Both reduced costs or higher power is good! Even on a late turn, he affects your WHOLE deck so your next card is buffed!

impossible challenge for alex: don’t bring up surfer, don’t bring up costco, don’t bring up canada. hahaha love this podcast!!

Started playing a Wong deck (just pulled black panther at cl 2500

Phastos could be interesting in a She-Hulk Infinaut deck. If you can get a discount on naut, then you can play S-H and him on 6 without having +1 energy. Or just bonus stats on S-H is nice too. Also could help you get it out before people destroy your limbo in that style of deck. I may need to try it.

Wait until Cozy hears about the things Fish do in the Ocean... he aint never setting a foot on the Beach again.

I kinda see Phastos as being the X23 of surfer. Not a deck-killer, but a great enabler

As soon as cozy asked Alex what decks people should be playing that no one is, I immediately knew he was gonna call out Shuri

The way card acquisition is in this game, I always try and convince myself out of getting cards I'm excited for in favour of hoarding resources. Inevitably, this leads to regret, most recent example being sage. Really says something about the game economy though.

I have been playing the thanoes scar deck they where discussing with phastoes and so far it has been my highest cuberate deck mainly because of how many large numberx I can throw in there and because of the new utility of thanoes I can play him in lockdown plains play him out early to buff scar and the amount of players I have gotten to shang chi a soul stone buffed thanoes is so funny to me I am also taking advantage of the priority the stones get you by utilizing tech cards that benefit from priority like red guardian and negasonic for the same priority reason I have been thinking about inserting echo but I think ill wait to see how phasotes affects the deck and think about if she is necessary and if theres room for her another reason i love this deck is that it lets me include some underplayed cards like crossbones witch can easily be played on a location where stones are since I usually start my games by spreading stones across the three locations go give me priority and to give be targets for crossbones I have also been including okoey who is great because every stone I play I am getting another buffed card often times she even buffs mockingbird up to a 0-3,10 witch lets me get scar off for free. No one will probably ever read all this but I just had to ramble on my favorite deck of the past weak and honestly my favorite deck of my whole snap experience. Btw the deck is probably only my best deck because I've played it so much and because im missing some key cards in meta decks because im free to play dont think the deck has top of meta potential or anything but who knows mabe phastoes will make it great

Phastos has the late play downside but look at pixie and she ended up being a great card. I think at worst this is a 3 star card

I think phastos plus jane foster in thanos is going to be a great combo

Phastos is an auto include in arishem and most surfer decks. Probably great in some kind of Thanos deck

@Cozy and @Alex its called a Fez that Shadow King is wearing

Just noticed I was subscribed to Alex and not you how is that possible I always watch the videos back to back I guess you just came in as recommended 😅

Been saving keys like crazy for this week and next! Sitting on 10 rn!

I think re-ignited Alex's love for quake when I commented about comparing her to red guardian

I really want this card, but I’m only at 2 boxes and 3000 credits, just gunna have to pass. It’s crazy because I clear missions every week, buy EVERY season pass, and had a full collection a few months ago. They really need to figure this out it’s making people not want to play anymore

Does anyone know how Phastos will respond to Wong? Does the effect double up or just replace what's already happened?

Saved my keys for Phastos. My favorite deck is my power of 3 deck. The silver surfer, Shaw deck. This will fit well with

Gonna chuck this into my discard deck and just have some fun and see what happens

Ive recently been playing a surfer deck myself and due to my lacking alot of series 3 cards magik def makes the def flow better for me. Either im drawing the pieces nesscary to win on turn six or I can always throw her down to give me more time to get a winning set up. Her and phastos in a surfer deck make alot of sense imo

Pistachios. That's what I read on the thumbnail

That Thanos variant and split was sick!!!!!!!

phastos is a card id definitely wait until the end of the week. it could be amazing and it has to be to compete with the other great 3 cost cards. its never going to be a must have card due to its effect being random so im currently on team skipable

Lmao swimming soup too funny

Phastos seems ideal in Thanos and decent in Surfer. Can make the stones free potentially and keep drawing more cards.

Galactus. He's either cheaper to get him out a turn early or he's stronger to compete for the lane.

18:16 I have Magik in EVERY deck. Having an extra turn is awesome, and just the ability to change a location without it being random like Scarlet Witch is SUPER nice! I feel like Magik is a must have at a 3 cost instead of a 5 cost like she used to be a long time ago. She's in all of my decks haha😂

The hat on Shadow King is called a fez

I think Adam warlock could work in arishem you are already have more energy then your opponent so you can win his location and you can play him on turn 4

Definitely not bad with iron lad imo if you get phastos on a turn 5 draw but already iron lad. It be + 4 power added to turn 6 draw, good against limbo still

Thanks for the video.

Polish off those Mobius decks. This coming week is gonna need to be all Mobius (and Shadow King) all the time to neuter all the Phastos trials we're gonna see.

Cozy: The Hat is a “Fez”!! A “Fez cap” as it were!!

The hat shadow king is wearing is called a fez.

imma come back to the game for these last two cards.

So I had ran a shadow king valk deck and it worked out really well

Phastos is a must in Arishem in my opinion. Also Magik is a must when playing Phastos to get the most out of him.

It’s a Fez guys! Such an epic hat 😎.

Phastos seems fun even if he’s not competitive. The last card that felt like that for me was Sage lol

it's one of my most wanted gonna get it even if it's bad (which I doubt)

The hat Shadow King is wearing is called a fez. At one point it was meant to replace the turban. Be better guys lol

Former lifeguard here, as long as the pool has plenty of chlorine, you don't need to worry about pee in the pool.. The percentage is like 1% or less (Course those shallow kiddie pools are the worst.. but still, it's pretty low) It's only when PH levels are off that it becomes a problem, but lifeguards have to check that multiple times a day.. so if the water isn't safe, they'd close the pool.. and lifeguards love closing the pool because we get like a day off.. I loved it when it thunder, and I got the rest of the day off 😂 Compared to pools, though lake water and river water is way worse Cuz it can be polluted 😅 and can get you sick if you drink it.. so always boil your water when camping 🏕 Ocean water is different due to all the salt and organisms that help clean it.. but I always wash off cuz the salt water makes me itchy sometimes.. I'm totally a pool person 😌 though owning a pool is so tough cuz you have to clean it yourself 😅

Have saved 4 keys for phastos all month. Gonna pull tomorrow on my birthday and hope to save some keys, so maybe i can even pull for arishem. Definitely stocked for tomorrow even tho my marvel snap - playtime was on the decline.😊😁😆

I'm currently stealing a ton of cubes with a deck based around Thor, Beta Ray and Wong. No one expects 2 hammers with Wong on turn 6. Most of the time when I play Thor people proactively snap because it's predictable. I also run Magik - so I don't think I've ever lost a turn 7 playing both hammers, Wong, and Sage in one lane, and they're almost all for 8. I also don't play a standard hammer deck and include just other high value cards - Red Guard/Hulk, White Widow, etc.

Finally! Respect for Super Scrull! I was in a Tribunal mirror the other day, and I crushed it because I dropped the Super Scrull turn 7.

Shadow king’s hat is a Fez btw
