PIXIE

[kingts]

The month Shifts to more Avengers as some classic characters come into the game. The first up is Pixie, an X-men, and my older daughter wondered if she was Angel in First class, but has some interesting possibilities. This is a civil discussion on the cards themselves.

I caution not to go beyond the 1 key try and you should be stacking keys beyond 4 or more. Stack your keys.

PIXIE: Cute variant, and a kind of new archetype, with an interesting mechanic that may be one of the reasons for some recent changes as energy appliers get added to the game. However, Pixie has three interesting observations for me, First, not a great stat line for a 2 cost, people may think 1 power, no big deal for the ability, but a weak entry were power is vital to each energy cost. Second, your shuffling costs were you must create a smart value list in your deck construct if I read this right. Bluff snapping on randomness is interesting. This really puts lock-down in a very dangerous state. With MMM, Loki, or other key card have to be in your hand, but I could be wrong there. Lastly, hard to see all the negative aspects of this card yet. She maybe a fun new test card to go for. This card could flop hard or be a new nutty card to try.

MMM-If you don't have Mobius M. Mobius, then not a bad card to go for. Though it has dropped in the tight window of deck building. It doesn't have great stat lines and is dependent on winning for you. That is not his purpose. A safeguard card to strategies, his 52.4 win rate and low cube rate can be deceptive for the reason of his existence. MMM could use a stat-line buff, should be a 3/5, or even be reduced to a 2 energy stat line since his play isn't about his stats, but his effect, so no reasons for his current state. His entry had SD in a panic that they nerfed the card out of just a bad excuse. They wised up, but still not in a great statline play or usage as its dropped to 150 in rank. A good card to try for, and could be a Buff target in the future. Very cute Variant from Rian Gonzales.

SPIDER-HAM- Annoying, pain, and did I say annoying, another fine card to go for if you don't have him. A nice card to have, but not a must card to have. He has great disruptive deck constructs and in conquest a deadly card in multiple games. He doesn't quite fit all archetypes, but has a good win/rate at 54.5 when drawn and an ok rank. His cube share is low and I don't ever see him changing in energy or stat-line, but a good 1 cost to add to many decks. You can even see Spider-ham fit more future meta themes or be bolstered by future disruption cards. A fine addition to your collection. A pretty cool new variant by David Nakayama.

I will make the attempt for Pixie simply to try her out, and no issue if I hit one of the other new variants with one key, but I won't go beyond that.

Happy discussion my brothers and sisters out there. Cheers.

Too inconsistent and promotes bad deck building.

I'll just be running 3M and enjoying a bunch of retreats.

Not going to get her.

The card can switch same cost cards, so you don't notice a change if Yellowjacket switched costs with the Wasp. You need to draw the cheap cards (Jane Foster?) and don't want to draw the expensive ones. Mobius can crush her and Pixie is a card that you need to draw as early as possible.

When you play Pixie and your hand is filled with your other cheap cards, you are screwed too, because she only shuffles the cards in deck by the time she reveils.

Yeah Blind I did note some of that, just like to see the card in action as we maybe missing something. I don't think drawing her will matter if the deck is strong enough to work without her. The problem also is your hand. I get these new cards to test them anyway, but I was clear in my warning. Some may be going for a specific cache card here and wind up with her.
MMM or Spiderham, not a bad lot if you don't have any of these, but not to go beyond 1.
Peace my brother.

She has potential to high roll crazy stuff. But I'm not willing to spend keys on her. She is just as likely to be like mr negative where most the time the deck is just bad.

Does MMM work in combination with pixie? Meaning if you shuffle the cost and your one cost becomes a six cost, will Mobius bring it down to one again?

[DiscoShark]

if the variants were better her week I'd probably jump on. As is, I'm okay with waiting on Pixie. Seems fun though

[unlimitedskyuran]

This card is somewhat similar to a negative. But Negative is my favorite card in the game, and I don't like Pixie at all.

Yes

Problem with Mobius is, that if you don't have him in hand when playing Pixie, he can become a 6/3 too and if Mobius gets rogued, you will end up with just expensive cards.

[ryu600RR]

if mobius became 6/3 that just means you also have a 3/6 in there somewhere so fair is fair

If Mobius becomes a 6/3, you won't be able to make your bad switched cards cheap. Yes its fair, but that doesn't make the deck consistant.

drawing pixie and drawing 0 cost cards in starting hand will feel so trash, she just needs MMM and also dies to MMM. Kinda like Negative. Draw her, play her and then draw good, not to mention, you can die to other go tall decks.

Worse than Mr. Negative.

When playing Mr. Negative, you know exactly the new stats of all your cards in deck that you might draw, so you can make tactical decisions. When you play Pixie, you only know that cards switched their costs in a random order. This makes Mr. Negative much more predictable.

To me, the variants are the best part of this week's offer! :)

She's going to be pointless the first week as everyone plays her with Mobius, thus making it all irrelevant since there will be a lot of mirror matches. Whoever draws Mobius first wins.

I would rather put Rogue in, to counter.
