Ajax is ok imo. He's a package with hazmat. Every other card you add to enable him is wasted. If he was a 4 drop playing both on 6 would be amazing. But Ajax on 5 into hazmat 4 drop (shang chi?) on 6 is not a bad play either. He is consistently 14 to 20 power. You do need to draw hazmat before 6, but it is turn 6, that's like a 75% chance of getting him. And since the package is so tiny, you can fit other win conditions in your deck, like hawk or Anni. Not saying the card is a 5 star must buy, but he is not dogshit either.

Mailbag: Arishim balance ideas - I was thinking they could perhaps 1.provide the extra energy on just the even turns (not on odd turns to avoid limbo) 2. add more cards to your deck to thin the opportunity to hit the 11 other cards you picked, i.e. make blob harder to pull 3. Perform a calculation to provide cards in proportion, equal to how many cards there are per cost 4. Reduce his power to 5. I ADORE you pair. You have both kept me very sane in the last few weeks whilst I recover from a bad bicycle accident.

Arishem may be fun to play, but he makes playing every other deck less fun. First thing you have to do every game is check to see opponent's deck size, then (if Arishem) you just can't Snap even if you have your deck's best win conditions, because they will likely be ruining your entire game plan with Doc Ock or Leech on 4 or even Quinjet Loki so they will play your deck 10 times more efficiently.

When in reality the tows, off-roads, and hauling in a year can be counted on a single hand. A minivan offers a lot of the same capabilities of sedans and compacts while also giving more things like space for legs and travel. I won't even accept the idea of a "muscle car" being anything better than a minivan. They're made for teenagers and middle aged adults with a lack of power in their own life. 😋 If it has enough power to merge onto a highway at high speeds, then that's all that's needed. The minivans of today are truly the peak of vehicles for everyday drivers.

Plug them into a deck play Ajax on 5 and hit them with Hazmat on 6 and you've got a 5/20. In fact, I think Cassandra Nova will be bad for Ajax because if your opponent starts playing those negative cards then when you play Ajax hes suseptible to Shang.

I think a big problem with Arishem is in the strategy of how you play against it. When you play against High Evo, you know you probably have to play around Cyclops and Hulk. Maybe you need to watch out for a cheap Abomination. When your opponent plays Korg or Rock Slide, you know you have to play around Darkhawk and maybe a Mystique on top of him. When your opponent plays Arishem, you have to play around every single card in the entire game, which is obviously an impossible task. This is compounded upon by the fact that they almost always play Agent Coulson and/or Nick Fury. Furthermore, because they generally only draw about a third of their deck, the chance that they have drawn any particular tech card from their starting deck is quite low. Taken in aggregate, it really feels like the optimal way to play against Arishem is to almost always just... not play around anything. It might legitimately be optimal to almost always just send it, cross your fingers, and hope they don't have it, which is extremely boring and unfun. And if they nerf Arishem by adding more cards, this will just become more and more true.

Make Doc Oc keep 1 spot open in the lane when he pulls cards down. For compensation u could add a slight bit of power, 5 11 or 5 12. That leaves room for counter play, which is all you need to keep him from being frustrating. And that gives him more reason to be played, because he has great power. but he still ruins the order of some cards your opponents playing, and allows him to still pull out cards to the location where he wants to counter them. He just loses that junk/clog synergy, which is what makes him frustrating.

Hi guys, hope you're both well. I've recently started playing snap (Gilgamesh season) and am currently about 1.5 CL or something, having bought both of the last two season passes and a few other things. I got Infinite really early this season got Cassandra Nova day 2 spending about 500-1K gold, rpughly. I LOVE both of you guys' content and having been listening to past episodes of the Snapchat; it's really informative and fun, and you both seem really chill and like good guys. I have a mailbox question. For Arishem, if his usage is still SO high and the win rates for his decks are in the high 50s or low 60s, is it possible to look at the stats for Arishem vs Non-Arishem decks? If his usage rare is high (which it is) then it means that a decent number of matches are Arishem mirrors which is both a win and a loss in the stats. This surely means that his win rate vs Non-Arishem decks must be very high? Also, if you discussed in a recent epaidoe how Doc Ock and Agent Coulson are both very high in usage and win rate. If they weren't a problem pre-Arishem then this would also seem to indicate that it IS Arishem that is the problem. The cards weren't an issue previously, so that seems like a reasonable conclusion. If Cas Nova doesn't balance the meta out a bit, have you had any other brainwaves on how Arishem could be balanced other than adding more random cards? I thought perhaps he could replace a certain number of your original deck instead of just adding cards, or possibly even replace your deck entirely. This would possibly be drastic, but would stop the problem of Quinjet/Coulson/Doc Ock/Shang Chi/Blob et Al seemingly always (or often) being enough to tilt games. Thanks so much for hr awesome content, and keep it up!

Doctor Octopus is a frustrating card to encounter but I genuinely think it might be flawless, the balance is on point imo.

I played TLSG junk deck with Ajax & its so good. What I learned is Ajax shouldn’t be what the deck is about but one of the many cogs that complement the deck. His main partner is Hazmat & not anyone else. In junk he plays similar role to red hulk of final turn big man. I typically like to play him with hazmat on turn 7 with magic or sometimes hazmat turn 5 then him turn six. I think he is just as or better then gigmeash since junk fills the oppents side & since both ajax & hazmat hit the entire board he has a high ceiling. Just like how you wouldnt play gilgamesh without kazar & blue marvel first the same is for ajax but with hazmat. You do have the occasional white widow & green goblin to help and locations as well. Overall ajax is not the center of a deck but a great cog in junk like how gilgamesh is great in zoo.

Great pod! I'm here to vent about Ashiram lol I think he is a bit too oppressive still and it bothers me that the mill archetype is basically dead because of him. I wonder, would everyone be pissed off if he said "+1 max mana. Replace your deck with random cards." In that case I would also make him a 14 power or something.

I think Arishem's power ramping is exponentially more powerful. All the locations are have been so good for Ajax, I just can't play my cards anywhere with out the opponent getting a boost on Ajax...

Question: Copycat is proving less than predicted. Her information advantage is proving not a big deal. Howard, White Queen are unplayed. Red Hulk's information drawback proved not to be much of a drawback at all. Will there ever be an "information card" that matters short of telling you what is in your opponent's hand?

Totally agree with the Variants. Them coming back is deep. Takes away any value they have. I never want them as I want the new card but when I do get a good one I think sweet one day others will want this. Now there’s none of that as they’ll just be able to buy them.

Mailbag: how would you guys feel about a scaling buff? I don’t know if either you have played sushi go, but the dumpling cards give you more points the more you collect (1,3,5,7,9, etc). This could be something either listed or something you’d have to know for certain cards. It could give Ajax a buff since the +1 is so small, but I think a +2 would get wild. Also, love the podcast, watch it every Monday!

BTW I played into the big deck idea with Arishem and Thanos. The cost was the deck was way to inconsonant and I pulled Thanos. RIP BFD

Arishem should have been a game type where he would play a roll of a "Boss" making changes to the game while the player duke it out with one extra energy.

My big beef is they get all these random cards with Arishem yet still somehow draw Loki + quinjet on curve and then literally every single counter card they need to casserole me (in addition to both doc oc and leech just for fun) lol. He should produce more random cards imo bc the draws are just way too consistent

Personally, I agree with you guys in thinking Arishem is a terrific card, but cards that were already super problematic in the past like Blob, Mockingbird, and (to some extent) Loki make him feel bad to play against. That’s not Arishem’s fault though

The fact that you said that "I made a garbage deck with Arisham and still won half the time" kinda proves that the card is not fun to play against.

I don’t mind how Arishem works. The problem is, that the negative of the card (drawing random cards) is taken away by Loki. So you play Arishem to get the extra energy, but what’s not ok, is to have the ability to Loki out of a bad hand? C’mon really? That’s what I find ridiculous.

To say you could ramp doc out before is not a fair statement, as the only real option were electro, that limits your gamplay after, and wave or psylocke, which required you to have both cards in hand on by T4.

Mailbag: what if blob drained all of the power (up to 15) of the top cards of the deck. Pretty much forces him to be turn 6 since your next draw will be bad and absorbing man won’t have much to drain. Also, if that’s too much, you could increase his power max

The fact arishem has come into the game and is forcing changes on different cards because he gets them out earlier is the problem! Just add more cards to the deck because you do see these cards way to consistently and you can't keep changing every card that goes into an arishem deck because they weren't a problem before he released.

Arishem isn't/wasn't a problem until people started over-optimizing the deck to play things like doc Oct, leech and Loki. This is part of the reason why we're basically not allowed to have fun cards in the game for more than 2 weeks to a month 😂

Even during the hot location, picked Ajax just to try a surprise legion ajax game plan... Good on paper, still felt horrible... Even mockingbird nerf killed gilgamesh decks more than it added issues to arishem ones... It was the same with bounce and move, hit monkey, beast etc. But yet +10 power cards doing almost nothing are still added and predominant.
