Is Sera still OP?

[Alcatraz]

I have her in my shop for the next 7 hours and I could spend my LAST 1000 tokens on her. But I don't know if she is still the best-buy option after her nerf and the introduction of some new cards.

Opinions?

I cannot create the first deck, but I have 11/12 cards for the 2nd one (I don't have Goose).

Not sure if buy her or pass. 😅

Really depends on your collection. She was the only one I bought so far. Still waiting on mystique and aero for my next two purchases. Seen 6 series 4 and 5 cards back to back. >.>

I'm still waiting for Psylocke and Mystique on my side (28 cards from pool 3 left) and I'm CL1738, yeah I have bad luck.

You can play the deck without Goose, just find something useful to replace it.

[Alcatraz]

I think I will pass. I don't find her that useful as people say. I will wait for Electro, Daredevil or Doctor Doom. 🙂

Sera is a very useful card, but you need to play with her to really appreciate how strong she is. Even 'just' playing two fours on turn six can be game-winning, or Death and another six on turn five (you need a way to play her on four for that, like Wave or Psylocke). But she needs a deck, so it would be a long-term investment if you miss cards like Wave, Death, Magneto, Rescue. IMO, she's a way better investment than the cards you listed, but it of course depends on the cards you already own.

Yeah, the cards I own are the problem here. I have Death, but I don't have Wave, Magneto and Rescue. On the other hand, I have:

-She-Hulk (bought from the shop) so Electro would be useful to play the She-Hulk+Infinaut turn 6 combo (impossible right now because I don't have Electro, Psylocke and Magik).
-Doctor Doom would be useful with Wong (also bought from the shop).
-Daredevil is useful in many decks, especially with Green Goblin (which I also have).

Cards I also don't have and could be an option are:

-Aero (but I don't find her as useful as people say, I rarely lose when my opponents play her).
-Magic (but I like Electro more for the She-Hulk+Infinaut combo)
-Destroyer
-Mystique
-Quinjet

I have 1700 tokens so I will buy two of the mentioned cards (the second will be pinned until I reach 1000 tokens again if I spend the first 1000 meantime).

P.S. I know that after Electro is played, only one card per turn can be played (so She-Hulk+Infinaut is impossible), but I will try to neutralize that ongoing effect with Zero (I have him), Enchantress or by simply destroying him. ;)

Sera is still a very strong pick. Used in many good decks. I would certainly get her if she appeared in mine

[Alcatraz]

The deadline just passed. I haven't bought her. But I thought about it until the last second. :D

Don't buy any card that you don't already have every single other card that you need to play along with them.

Save the tokens for getting the last card you need to fill the deck you want.

When you think about it, every cache you unlock will have a chance to give any of the multiple cards you need. But when you only need 1, that chance to get the one you need is as low as it gets.

Always have a reserve of tokens for that 1.

True. That's why I haven't bought Sera in the end. I've realized that my decks with her wouldn't be OP for some time. So no need to buy her now, but maybe in the future (if I don't get her from the collector's reserve meantime).

I've spent 3000 tokens for She-Hulk and right now I must maximize that investment. That's why I find Electro my first pick. The extra energy he gives can be well used with She-Hulk and Sunspot. Also, Electro is useful in many decks I already have (for example in my top deck with Wong, Black Panther, Arnim Zola, Leader, White Tiger and Odin or in the Silver Surfer deck, because Electro costs 3).

Since you have death I would think it might be more valuable for you to get wave so you can do the She hulk death turn 6 play. While your opponent can only play 1 card instead of electro.

I had Wave in the shop a few days ago. So she is not an option anymore. :D

Sera fits in really any deck, even just homebrews with pool 2 cards. You can just play her alongside a bunch of generic 2s and 3s and still have great results. So I'd definitely buy. She's pretty mandatory for a decent surfer deck too.
