Bored of the copycats

[Silent Ricebag]

Is it possible, that 75% of the players all use the same boring deck? Deadpool-Wolverine-Carnage etc.

It's so lame, i really can't see this always same deck anymore and so many players use it. Are you all simple copycats?

[GrundleGrump]

You should try playing MTG: Arena then... lol

[Silent Ricebag]

Yeah, maybe. I'll probably don't see the point in living as a copy machine. But maybe it's fun, who knows.

Arena is the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ worst. It's the same damn decks all the time. You're not wrong about Snap. It's Bucky/Wolverine/Nova/Carnage every time. So boring

[xBERMx]

I wish i played that deck. But i feel your pain. I pair against surfer, Jean grey, and Shadowking. Galactus if i try any other deck.

[HeckDiver Vulkan]

That's how TCG's go.

People Netdeck.

Is it scummy, and shows the person Netdecking has little to no skill, foresight, or method of actually thinking?

Yes.

Is there anything that can be done about it?

Nope.

[Silent Ricebag]

Yes, you are absolutely right, Vortexas. And it tells so much about people. But yeah, it is as it is.

Destroy is currently 8% of the total meta. That being said it bulds itself. Accuing people of netdeck destroy? Marvel snap is building with legos, not painting the mona lisa. If you wanted to build a destroy deck you can sort by destroy and look at the best cards. Guess what, your list will look almost 90% identical to all other lists... geez get off your high horses.

[Silent Ricebag]

It's not a high horse i am sitting on, it's a bored horse. Bored from all the Deadpools out there.
But ok, it's a game. A game which allows many different builds, but the sheeps follow the herd. I got it. Said enough, Bobby.

I kinda agree but sadly we can't do anything about it.
People are dumb, they just want to win so they play the strongest deck.
Remember all the Galactus and High Evo decks before Phoenix Force?
Personally I'm part of the minority playing an original deck because I just want to have fun.
Crushing everyone else is very boring imo. I still try to be competitive but I know my deck isn't meta at all. https://snap.fan/decks/256016/
At least I have fun playing it. I don't understand people having fun with Galactus and other autistic cards.

The strongest deck is Bounce. It's not really even close. Destroy is 5th over all in ladder and conquest metrics, but just dies to bounce, hard. Now if we were complaining about bounce netdecking? Yeah that deck is much more likely to be netdecked, the synergies are not as obvious and paint by numbers as Destroy is.

Destroy is the same 12 cards it was 6 months ago. The only reason you see it around at all right now is everyone stopped playing armor and cosmo in their decks. Which is probably also caused by bounce. Armor and cosmo do nothing against bounce. So you are forced to try and tech against the best deck. Which leaves you a little more vulnerable to other decks like destroy. Which also is one of the easiest and most straight forward decks to play since its just a numbers deck.

And of course every weekend we will see more destroy decks shoving phoenix in. Afterall its required to get the gold, duh. You see less galactus and high evo because they were nerfed. As always with games like this when a card take a nerf people move away from it. Even though High evo is still very, very good overall.

Again if we are gonna accuse people of netdecking, at least do it for the decks that actually get net decked. Not fing destroy that hasn't changed a single card in half a year... gamers... geez.

[VastGirth]

It feels like about 60% of my games are against destroy decks, then 15% move, 15% Evo, 5% galactus and then everything else makes up the remaining 5%.

I tend to play a darkhawk/wong/panther deck and it feels like the game is always matching me against destroy because i have few counters for it. Not sure if that is just in my head.

[Jack_Burton]

As others have said, such is the way of TCGs. The only real issue here is Snap doesn't have an unranked queue. So unless you have a friend to play casual against (and even that is the drawn out Conquest mode), you have no choice but to play the ladder where you will run into the same meta consistently. And if you want to rise in said ladder, you'd better be running a deck that can compete.

Snap really needs an unranked/pubs queue where players can just play "for fun" decks with less odds of getting stomped by a netdeck.

[HerbertWess]

Weeeelll... in the case of destroy, it is kinda hard because there is only so many destroy cards you can employ, so many of them are constant staples. I prefer focusing on Nimrod as it can make some very funny situations, especially with shuri if opponent uses shang chi :D In general, a lot of folks will stick to pretty similar, meta-ish decks. If destroy doesn't bore you with the similarities, high evolutionary will, or Galactus, which even after the rework follows almost the same patterns to the letter. I am surprised it is deadpool what bores you though, for me it would be Knull instead :D

I don't think it is bad ppl get ideas from netdecking, as long as they grasp how it is played and then make their own changes, otherrwise it makes it easy to predict the play pattern. My bounce deck for example, besides always having Hit Monkey, changes constantly to adapt to different scenarios. At one point i used Snowguard, which caught opponets off guard a lot. Another time i had Maria Hill, adding a lot of uncertainty to opponent, as they have no clue what new card they must fare against. Other times i put some tech card to counter ongoing, etc etc.

You do have a good point on mindless netdecking when it comes to the new weekly challenges though. I like to see Snap Zone for inspiration, but for these challenges they try to mix both featured cards, which in this case are Phoenix and Grey, and i had to laugh because hmmmm nope, just no. These two cards unless you get rng blessed with your hand and draws simply don't mix that well at all.

[kingts]

I get it, a lot of copied clone meta decks,
7 Million content creators out there, all putting up their expert broken deck ideas. Card trackers that post META decks on a weekly basis. Totally get it

A wide range of ages and player skill too, not to mention bots, rng, and locations
It really comes down to what you want to get out of playing SNAP. Very competitive, very fast, brutal, fun and gorgeous cards.

The good news is by this time next year. There will probably be another 150-200 cards in the game, more archetypes, so many varieties to one archetype.

For example, Take DESTROY, There will be 25 Destroy cards in the game, you may have 50 by next Christmas, my point being is by then, No two Destroy decks will be the same follow.
A large variety of cards, so for now, yeah, everyone roughly playing the same 25 destroy cards, but in time, you may have 100 to choose from. Move will have 26, by this time next year again could be 40-50.

Time, as the game library grows, more diversity (hate that word) in deck construction.
Peace

Dude is claiming a Mister Negative deck 2 cards off of the most popular version is them being original.

I wouldn't waste the time with them.
