What's going on guys? And welcome back to another episode of the Snapchat. I'm joined by the one, the only Mr. Alex Cocha. Hello my friend. Listen, I think after 200 I don't know what episode are we on? Like 1 27, 1 28, 7 or something? Like 1 27,
Alexander Coccia:I think it is. Yeah.
Cozy snap:I don't think I've ever missed my white beat headphones, but they're not here today. I have no headphones. Dude, for the first time, you probably feel this every now and then, like when you've done like twitch drops or anything. So I've been doing a lot of content. Rival season, just hit casted for nine hours straight. The, the weight of the headphones have, have finally destroyed my neck, and I am toast. I can't turn anymore. So I had to, I had to get rid of'em today, at least. At least today, at least one day. Do you ever get that with like the neck, you know, you're never working out your neck. I mean, I don't know, maybe you do, you're, you're swollen, but yeah. Have you had that happen to you?
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, actually I have something very similar happen. What happens is, is like while I'm streaming for very extended periods of time, I find the audio to really be really bothersome. Like my ears just get fatigued from wearing headphones and I have open ear headphones that are pretty, like, decent for that. But sometimes I just take'em off and like I don't hear audio or anything like that. And then like, I actually will like dim my lights, so I'll like dim the lights a little bit. And I'll like just feel a little more chill, just a little more chill, A little less production quality maybe. But you know what, what it does is it helps me to kind of keep the flow going cozy, because sometimes I. It's a physical thing, streaming and content creation. And I mean, you just gotta, you gotta protect your ears. But my headphones are really, like, yours are like cannons. They're like satellite dishes on your head. So it wouldn't surprise me. It's hurting your neck, dude.
Cozy snap:And these, okay, these are blessing threes what they're called. They're and ears awesome. Like they're Mm, they feel great. But I also feel like Justin Timber, like a little bit, like, I feel like I'm like a part of n Synco on stage or something with them, but they, these are what I edit with a lot of the time because yeah, the. The beats could get get heavy. But man, it's good to, good to be back. Good to have you back. We just came off you know, good start of the season for Snap. It's crazy the season for Snap Lines up with the season for Rival. So it's been been a little wild over here and the casting, my voice is holding up though. It's it's barely by just I think I put down like 19 tees yesterday, but we had to come on. We had a talk about Khor. We've got brand new card today to talk about a lot of leak cards with funny enough, I think the Snapchat mailbag not too long ago asked about one of the most requested heroes that we have not gotten, and my answer was Norm Mamu. And he's here, he's awesome. So we have that to talk about. And a couple other things regarding the snap packs, buddy. So, I mean, let's just get right into it, ma'am. We know what we're talking about over here. What are we talking about on your side of the Snapchat?
Alexander Coccia:No, I refuse to transition. Okay. Outta the intro, sir, because we have very important business we have to talk about. You mentioned it was crazy in rivals. I agree. But what we have to really talk about, sir, is that you have somehow done the impossible and once again crossed 100,000 subscribers on your Cozy Rivals channel. Sir, you have taken lifelong career achievements and just farmed them. I cannot believe my man, how? Like how incredible it was to watch that 100,000 take over. And you know what's funny about it? Cozy. I saw it happen and I'm like, you know what? I'm not even gonna tell. I'm not gonna say anything. I'm not gonna message him. I'm gonna get him live on the Snapchat of surprise, my man. I'm so proud of you. Congratulations. Thanks,
Cozy snap:man. I really it, it's all, it's just crazy. I, I don't think I, you know, you just went through the achievement yourself, right? Like, it's like you kind of think you're never gonna get there. Right? And it's just, you know, it happens. Before you know it, and just, yeah, man, it's really cool to go back and just reflect on it. And I, I think you know this better than ever. It's like, as a YouTuber, like we just have zero time to reflect on accomplishments ever. Like, you just have to move on to the next thing. And so like to stop and actually take a second try to, with at least my wife, we were just talking about it and like, you know, I've got a picture from when I first started YouTube celebrating a thousand views. And, and so to be able to now just look at the, it's just, it's, it's cool. It's, it's crazy man. It's awesome. Blessed. And, and very you know, just makes the whole sacrifice worth it. You know, I, I think I put on a tweet that I put out that like, you just work so hard to hope people enjoy the same and, and get that same enthusiasm as you do. And yeah. You know, very fortunate, glad Rivals is is doing well. I find it's so much fun. Y the sacrifice is there, but it's definitely, definitely a good man. And, and now I don't even know what, man, I don't, I don't know. I, I drive myself off competitive drive, so I, I need to figure out a new goal. Like, I think, like, kind of say for you, like when you hit a hundred thousand, it's kind of like this, like reset, okay. Like, yeah, it's not gonna be a million, right? So it's, it's like, it's like, what are you, you know, the goal play buds a billion. So it's like, what do you, you know, what are new ways you can challenge. Yourself and set new goals and stuff like that. So that's where I'm currently at. Once I recover from the exhaustion of what has been a a crazy week.
Alexander Coccia:Sir, let me just clarify something. I will not be getting a golden play button, but you stop just my get a golden play button one day. Do not sell yourself short. Like just do not sell yourself. Short, golden play button's. The next one, I'm telling you right now, it's the next one. One way or another cozy, you'll make it. Oh dude,
Cozy snap:You know, I love you, man. I appreciate this so much. I, dude, I, I put on this plaque Becky here, just cozy on my first one'cause I just assumed that that was it. Like I didn't put cozy snap. I just have cozy on there. Now I don't know what to do, so I'm gonna have to I might just, you know, because you saw, you can insert the name and I just put Cozy Snap slash rivals and just have it share a, share reply. I don't know. But thank you man. Thank you for the shout out. Appreciate it. Yeah, man, it's been crazy journey. Fun to go on and so glad to be able to. Keep things over here on the snatch. It's so, man, it's so crazy'cause it's just like, you know, you, it's like kids, you can't pick a favorite, right? It's like, I, I just, I love these games and it's just so cool now to have multiple channels. It's tough to split the channel. So, you know, it was tough to make that commitment, but ultimately I'm really glad I did because then it's like I know how the content's going and I just. Don't ever wanna step on toes of anyone else. I think the viewers on my channel even voted here that they wanted it all in one place, but I'm ultimately glad it's separated into two now. I think Alex, I want to have like a like a general channel just posting. Like, I, I was thinking the other day, I was like, I wanna have Dexter, Ben Broad and Alex, and do a Commander at home thing with them and like, fly you out, whatever. That'd be so awesome. Yeah, and I'm like, what would I, what channel would I put that on, right? So I'm like, I just want like a general channel at some point. And, and then maybe we could even put a podcast on there where people. You know, just hear us talk about zoo animals. I don't know but appreciate you, man. Love you much. And with that, what are we talking about on your side of the Snapchat?
Alexander Coccia:Cozy. On my side of the Snapchat, we'll be discussing both Captain Carter and Goliath in review, giving our kind of first impressions, our review, and of course, the early statistics based on those cards. Let's be taught about the cards that suck in Marvel Snap. We're gonna be taught about the cards that need a buff. And then finally, one absolutely hilarious edition of the Snapchat mail back.
Cozy snap:All righty. Well, let's go ahead and kick it right off. Now you might see that we've got kho on screen, but I wanted to talk about Ferris very quick conversation about snap packs and we're in this awkward. Transition. Now. They gave us two different dates of when this new card acquisition thing is gonna go live. We talked about that on your side, but we talked about how we've got what, the end of April and then the other one was the beginning of June. So there's a little bit of like
Alexander Coccia:June 3rd or something. Yeah. Which
Cozy snap:I can almost promise you that just means the beginning of June, like if there's ever two dates in game development, it's almost surely the later date, like that's what I've at least come to know. Right. So if that's the case, right? We've got a lot of we've got a lot of cards and spotlights left, but now that spotlights are gone and spotlight keys are gone, it's created this kinda weird waiting game that you do and it kind of slows down some of the traditional card game that you have in Snap. So, Alex, you know, for me, I, you know, the way I'm approaching, or at least that I would suggest approaching it, is because they're only doing 3000 tokens per key at this point. I would say longtime snap players that have almost every card, unless you're like dying inside to probably hold a as much as you can. Right. Unless you don't have like a couple of the cards, it almost doesn't make sense. At least token acquisition wise, I. To go for one card and press your luck. Unless you feel lucky too. Like if you feel lucky, go for it. Right. But you know, I feel like, you know, one key, you can like throw a key a week I guess. But I would, I would, I would like to think that if you need two cards, all three obviously, certainly open it. But if you only need one card and that's the new card, it's just tough to validate getting any of these new cards.
Alexander Coccia:It's so difficult, right? It's so difficult. Like for instance, this week is Cold City and Hydro Bobb and Khor, right? And let's say you're missing all three, then of course, yeah, you roll because each key is gonna be worth like you're getting cards for 3000 tokens essentially. Exactly. And even the miss, you're technically like getting a duplicate and you're losing out on a thousand tokens.'cause you get 2000 back for a key that's gonna be worth three K, which kind of feels bad. It, you know what they really should do. I had this thought, I'm glad you brought this up. They should really just for this like next transition period, make the duplicate 3000. So like it feels less bad to roll the spotlights. I, I actually think that that makes a huge difference. Oh, that, not a huge difference. That, but enough. Enough of a difference. Yeah, because like, you're not just blowing the key, like you're getting the token return anyways. And it feels less risky to roll.'cause I don't think they want the games economy in limbo for two months. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I don't think that's what they want. And I actually would dare to dare to say that I think they're expecting to release it in the first date and that they included the June date as like a fallback to just not disappoint everyone. I, and I think that the reason why I say that is'cause clearly all the stuff and the reason why they released the information was probably'cause a lot of it was data mind capable. And so if it's in the data mind, I think it's probably like. Almost ready. It's just, anyway, what do I know? I'm just assuming, right. But just I, that's the hope based on their cadence. Yeah,
Cozy snap:that's the hope. I just feel like in game development, it's almost always the latter. But you're right, it could be. Absolutely. And that's the, you know, and from what we see, that's what it looks like too. You know? Do they have something in reserve? May, you know, maybe. But man, that'd be awesome.'cause then we're only looking at what, like 20 days or so. For the new card acquisition, which is gonna certainly be great. So quick conversation here, but snap packs, it's going to change a lot on how you play, how you open, and there's a lot of great cards to come too. This season has some cool stuff, but for the most part, unless you're just dying and it really fits your play style, probably hold back. Like, I think that's gonna be tough on something like Ultron, like when you have these really fun cards coming out. But if it's just something that's, you know, a temporary meta play, maybe you know, try, try to hold your, you know, your keys is what I would recommend again, especially if you've been playing a while, you probably have most of the cards and so keep that, keep that in mind. But let's go ahead and talk about Khor Man. Khor the Reshaper of Worlds four six. Alex on reveal. Each card in your hand gives one of your cards in play plus one power. Now, when we originally talked about this card, we actually both. You know, said we liked her to a degree, but we kind of, it's not that we downplayed her, but I feel like we kind of, we went through her fast and as I've sat on it, I began to like the card a bit more than what we originally talked about. But Alex, where are you now? How do you rate her? What are your star ratings?
Alexander Coccia:I'm gonna go four stars here. But that is like a tentative four stars. Like, that's my like 3.5. I would like to give three point. I like to give whole numbers cozy. Okay. But if I, if I could go to 3.5 cozy route, that's what I would do. The reason why I say this is, first of all, I think better than before, gimme one one through 10. Oh, if you do that, man, it messes up everything. I just wanna know, just for this card, like it'd be seven then. Okay. I guess that, does that work out? 3.35 by, okay. Yeah. Yeah. 3.5 would end up at seven. No. Okay. Yeah, I don't like doing live math, even if it's simplistic, like grade three live math.'cause I tend to embarrass myself anyways. But no. One thing worth noting is that the, when we originally previewed this card, like we're going preview some new cards coming up, the wording that changed and Kari's original kind of wording almost was kind of. Stating that it would buff a single card with the value of the cards in your hand. And it's been rewarded to basically say that no, each individual card is gonna get buffed plus one. So it's like almost like a, I talked about it before, but like the priests of the moon from Warcraft, three star fall, like just dropping down, just like rain drop in everyone on the field to play, which is kind of cool. I actually think it's neat and it actually brings back some cards, like potentially even like a Sebastian Shaw, right? Like Sebastian Shaw, like loves to get those little one up buffs. What are other cards? Like get those little, little one up. Bs is a Jeff a card that likes to get some buffs that move around and stuff like that. So I actually like it. I think it has a really solid floor, specifically in the shield archetypes where it's expected to be played. However, outside of those archetypes is. Not necessarily gonna be very playable, right? If you think about like the stat line and what the stat line has to be, like four 10 is pretty achievable across so many different cards. So that means you need a minimum of four cards in hand. That's actually quite a bit of cards in hand, and you would have to be actively adding things to your hand in order to get premium value out of Kori. So I like the card. I would give it 3.5 if I could.
Cozy snap:So Alex, just speed running this episode of Snapchat. We went through all the synergies already. They're done, they're gone with and now on my star rating.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. Sorry dude. No, you're good. I got a little excited.
Cozy snap:Yeah, no, I think seven's a good rating. You know, we talked about it last time that between Galacto, her and Gwenpool, right? Like those were the ones that we kind of looked at. And with collect, you have a bit more agency. There's not a lot of cons for cards like this ever. Her biggest con is the randomness, which I don't think people are recognizing. It is definitely random where these points are gonna go. You know, you highlighted very well, Shaw. Shaw's gonna be probably her best potential by a good amount. And we saw surfer play a lot of, at one point, Gwenpool, right? So it's like there's just a lot of cards in that deck. You know, obviously Gwenpool is gonna work better with something like Brood than, you know, than something like Ahor would. But I agree. I think it, first of all, it's a very good, not like we'd need to talk about this too much, but it's a great beginner card. I actually love this for people that are just starting snap. This is awesome because. You played Devil Dinosaur, the early days, like that's kind of what you're able to have. And so it has that immediate synergy there. And a lot of the hand creation type cards are typically pretty good plug and play, you know, the Cape Bishops of the world. So I, I think that this is gonna have a home. But yeah, I, I, I think Victoria hand is truly gonna be probably where I end up playing her, just because I'm getting. I'm benefiting what's already happening, right? So like I'm already kind of playing with some RNG, so what's more RNG to that? And then Victoria Hand's gonna kind of help, you know, continue that train and you can kind of continue that, that motion. So that's kind of where I plan on playing Khor.
Alexander Coccia:So there's a couple things that, to follow up what you're saying. First of all, I agree Victoria Hand, when it came out, first of all, we were both very excited for, ultimately it was a very good card you haven't seen lately. No, but that's not because it's not a good card, it's just'cause that archetype, it has kind of just been set to the wayside for now. And we've had some emerging archetypes really take over the meta. Victoria hand was very close to being extremely meta impactful. And now this is obviously another key piece for it. It's almost like the the star brand for the Cyron deck right before Saron got buffed. It's like that extra injection of power that the archetype needs just to make it, maybe take it over that that next edge. You also bring up an important question about surfer, and I've thought a lot about surfer with this car too. Like coming into the Tuesday, I think to myself, okay, what am I gonna play? What am I gonna be doing? I'm a hundred percent be going. The Victoria Hand wrote, I'm gonna check out surfer two. But as someone who plays a hell of a lot of surfer, I'll tell you, I don't know if this card is gonna compete. I. Versus Gwenpool and Galata in surfer for the simple reason that surfer's not a, a deck that naturally has a large hand. It just doesn't, right? And on turn four, it's possible you'll get a decent amount of prox, but that also means that Sebastian has to be down on turn three. You're probably getting more value from the Gwenpool, galata route anyways. So I would be very surprised if you would be able to maintain a large enough hand in silver Surfer to really benefit from Khoi.'cause it's not a turn six play either. And also even if it was a turn six play, you're dumping your hand going into turn six. And so it's gonna read the value of your hand and the rest of your cards are face down. So I think in surfer it's tricky, but in in Victoria hand, I think it's exactly where it needs to be.
Cozy snap:No, I love all the points that you said there. Do you think this can bring back in some world shape or form this, the old school collector kind of builds, like I know collector's kind of a thing of the past, but like I. Is there enough in the engine now to get this rolling where it's like there's actually a world where you're able to have this cohort that really gives it that kind of bonus edge. You don't even have to think about Moon girl anymore. You know, maybe there is obviously synergy there, but there's gonna be too much confliction between the cards probably. So at this point, like, do you feel like collector, you know, the devil dinosaur of old, the, you know, I mean, we used to love the style of decks. Is that going to be something that's possible? You know, even playing you know, a sentinel or whatever, you're able to have a lot of those out, continue to build up the collector and then you can have bonus go on those. And so you just have like a lot of cards to be able to get these buffs. I don't know, I think it's interesting.
Alexander Coccia:I think the challenge for collector is gonna be that like it's slow compared to what this deck does. Although you're get generating value on it. Like if you think about it, you can be running mirage's sentinel's a great call. Don't forget that sentinel's fantastic with Victoria hand. Right? And then you're gonna want like the mystique, double dinosaur combinations. You turn five double dinosaur. So what it would look like probably is like a mirage or you know, oh, don't forget, you gotta play Victoria hand at some point. Yeah. Right. And so like, I think that collector probably gets shoved out just'cause there's just not enough space in the 12 car deck. You're gonna wanna play Kaho on four devil, dinosaur five, and then probably, you know, a mystique plus one mystique Colson mystique Cosmo to protect your devil dinosaur or whatever it happens to be, right? So you're gonna have a combo play on turn six Mystique plus something colson's. Great.'cause it pumps the hand and everything's happy. But I think Kaho in those shells are gonna wanna come out on for, and I don't know if there's space. For collector'cause you're gonna want to start building that hand early.
Cozy snap:Yeah, that does make sense. I, the good news is Khoi is very much a plug and play fit card. I think yeah, the hand size stuff is gonna be nice, but you, you know, a lot of decks out there end up having plenty in the hand. Like you end up having plenty of cards to use that B for and at a very base minimum, you know, we look at forecast, we always try to find about, you know, at these days, heck, I mean obviously nine, 10 power, that's like, wow, this is a car that could exceed that. Pretty often, yes, it's getting spread around, but that's just bare bones, right? You know, you got four cards in the hand and at that point you can easily get to the point of getting right at the four 10. And then beyond that, those are cards too that don't even benefit office. You've got the Scarlet Spiders, and as you just said, the Sebastian Shaws of the world, where all of a sudden, heck, even something like Ironman, right? All of a sudden you're having just way more benefit from a car that. Virtually can be played, you know, at any point. So obviously the other big thing too, what we talked about last time is, but you know, you could play her late, which you don't see often in these style of cards. Galactic can be a little weird. And same as going pool. I.
Alexander Coccia:You can also consider her in a place like Thanos.'cause Thanos technically often has a very strong hand presence. Devil Dinosaur used to be in the primary Thanos Lock jaw decks. And I think that you can still play Devil Dinosaur. Like I actually, when was it, I think it was when fire hair came out, I had done a Thanos deck with, with Devil Dinosaur in it, and it actually played pretty well. And and that was just because Devil Dinosaur was benefiting from the size of. The hand being generated by all those stones. Then if you like, have the fire hair and then you misery those stones, then suddenly you just maintain this massive hand with kri. You could definitely benefit from that. So like, I don't know, I'm, I start to wonder a little bit if there's a chance that Thanos might be something that's kind of underappreciated, simply because Thanos has received a couple buffs and and now especially with the fire hair misery combo, which I, I felt like was. Ultimately pretty decent. Not necessarily popular, but pretty decent. I kind of wonder if Kahoi can make its way in there.
Cozy snap:So ultimately guys like that's why I probably have this card as another one that you can wait on. Even though I like her a lot, and I do see that there's gonna be some potential to shine as always, you know, you can wait and see just how well she's truly gonna fit into the decks that are already doing out there. But I think we could both agree she's not gonna be this piece that all of a sudden is the. Just pure cut meta, like, you know, have to play Kari. That's how we need to almost look at these cars when looking at wanting to open them and use potential tokens that you can you know, have with way more certainty that you're not gonna have a dupe or to some cases even open up, you know, specific cards, packs, all that good stuff. So anything else at Goho to close her up?
Alexander Coccia:I guess the only last card I wanted to talk about was Captain Marvel. I think Captain Marvel likes getting popped up with buffs and if you're going to khor build and you're trying to be creative and cook a little bit, you can do like azabu based thing. Maybe you do run Khor alongside Galata Gwenpool and something like a captain Marvel. Get some, a lot of mobile power around. As I said, Jeff before can take those buffs, move it around. Yeah. Any car that moves and can disproportionately benefit from the power distribution.
Cozy snap:Yeah, move cards. And that's a good thing. Move cards are typically, or were at least for sure, a plug and playable. And so now you've kind of housed another thing into the fold there. You know, you can we're gonna see some fun stuff like Grand Master Wong. Sure. You know, like whatever there. This is a great honor reveal effect to, you know, to get multiple. Cases of, so it's not horrible. But yeah, I mean, I'm just trying to think of any other niche, you know, deck or situation that you could put her in. I mean, to your point, I think we've tried to make kind of that spider or scarlet spider deck work for a while now. And you know, I remember actually, I think you were in person last time we talked about the scarlet spider. Other than him, like lasher, you can, I know Lasher's gonna get works that way, right, too. The higher he is, the more he puts out. I just, I think at the end of the day, those are more fun than they are, than they are. Competitive
Alexander Coccia:lashers of card I forgot existed. I know. I might not be the only one either.
Cozy snap:Yeah. It's like, oh man, affliction had so many days, like in the. In the Sun, man. But then when it's gone, it's gone. You're like, and it's still doing okay. But well, dude, listen, we have do is coming new Insane Cards and there's a lot to break down now. There's a good amount. We don't know about how some of these are gonna work, but to, to open up the conversation. We have skill cards coming so. We've talked about this for a while. Like will equipment cards come out? We've seen kind of taste of these before. I wanna open up with this though, before I'm gonna open up snap Do fan. I'll have'em in the middle here to look at some of the description. I believe it's July, the July season. Did you see that? They're gonna be doing the Fantastic Four, the first Steps, cards. You're gonna Mr. A fantastic Invisible Woman, the thing, but it says First Steps. Okay. We've talked about this before, having cards with the same name where you have like rocketing group together and they do their own thing. To me and I, we were defenders of this and I think it's actually fine, but when I think about it, I'm like, if Mr. Fantastic comes out right the first step's, Mr. Fantastic and he's just some dominant card, that kind of sucks for the one that's currently in game, right? Like that's where I do see this like. Where's the line, right? Because then at that point it's, it makes, you know, movie releases and things like that, more exciting. But at the same point, it's like, but I don't, do you see what I'm saying?
Alexander Coccia:I totally see what you're saying. And you're not wrong. You're right. There's a lot of weird overlap like that in Snap. Like one that really bothers me is Ghost Rider.'cause Robbie Rays should be his own character. Yeah. But there's variants of Robbie Rays as Ghost Rider and I would expect Robbie Rays to eventually be a separate card, Marvel Snap. And then when that happens, those variants get transferred to the new card. That's what I would expect to happen. But with the situation you were specifically referring to, obviously we don't have much data about what. That's actually gonna look like, but you're right. It is kind of weird to release like a new version of Mr. Fantastic. With some different type of subtext and they're not gonna release like he gives plus three to other locations and like, it's gonna be harder than that. It's gonna go hard. Right. And, you know, it will, it's gonna make the, the existing Mr. Fantastic. A little, a little silly to say the least. Although I will tell you, I've been playing a lot of moonstone lately and that moves are fantastic. It's pretty solid with Moonstone, so I wouldn't worry too much about'em.
Cozy snap:Yeah. I mean, luckily just got that, that the, that buff. But yeah, I mean, it just depends how hard they go with it, I guess. Right. They just can't, they can't completely. I mean, the thing with Rocket, I mean obviously Rocket was okay, but with Rocket and GR together is that gr was not play, like, just not even playable. So like that one hitting wasn't as big of a deal as I would say. But listen man, though, we have a lot of new cars to talk about. So we're gonna start going through'em and we start with what is going to be what we think a a skill card. Now this one's a bit weird. Did you see this thing before? I, this is the first time I'm seeing a lot of these when I pop'em up. I just want kind of our first impressions on it, but. Astral projection. So there's been rumors, it's like, okay, is Dr. Strange gonna get, you know, a a, a rework? Or at this point they, you know, is, is Alga Moto getting another card or are they just gonna start releasing skill cards that you can include in your deck to do what it does? And this one is just gonna be the three zero right now, currently auto reveal copy, the text of an honor reveal card in your hand. So as just a card by itself, assuming that's what this is, or skill card, what are we thinking?
Alexander Coccia:So I'm thinking it, although it says three zero, I was looking at this over and over again. First of all, I don't know how skills are gonna be implemented. However, I, I, I guarantee, I'm not gonna guarantee, I really don't know, but the three zero part of it, I think is a placeholder. I I don't actually think you could have this cost three you, like I was, I was trying to figure out like, why would you ever play this for three? But but maybe, but maybe then again, hold on. You could do a lot, but it goes on the field of play. If it's a three zero, but it copies a Dr. Doom and it just shoots the Doom Bots, that's not bad. That's good. But it's still a three zero that just put 10 power on the board, right?
Cozy snap:Yeah. I mean, it's a ramp card though, like, and not a ramp in the sense of ramping. So wrong terminology is a cheat card though, right? So you're able to Yeah. Do some interesting things. I mean, on reveal. Like, dude, this would be insane as an ongoing card, like a mystique, but you don't have to play the card first. That's like, if this was copied ongoing, that would get me. You know what I mean? Like if you could have an onslaught that you don't have to play, you just need the onslaught in your hand, that's filthy, bro. And then you can mystique off that.
Alexander Coccia:So if they banish, if you do like an ability that's supposed to like, like rescues ability. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just gone. And you're like, well, okay. You know, why the hell would you be playing rescue anyway? But,
Cozy snap:well, let's talk about our first card here and now these are, again, these are very like. They're still like deep in there, right? As far as the the, the, the patch goes for them. Currently a one one. After this card permanently gains power, add flames of the Fal, faine to your hand. Good gosh. Faine the faine.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, that sounds about right. Come on, cozy. Are you concerned that we're not, we're gonna get roasted for all the mispronounce? I'm not concerned
Cozy snap:about it'cause we are for sure. So, oh, it's already started. So when this gets, it's kind of like permanent power, kinda like we've seen in the past of other cards. You're gonna get this beauty of a card and this is gonna say honor reveal, afflicted enemy card here with negative two power and banish it. So for a one, one. That you're looking to combine with, like you could go with like agony right away kind of thing, right? You instantly get a car that then can be a negative two that you could play at any point that is going to be at this point we don't know. It does say cost one, so that would be super interesting if you get a one one that you could merge, but then you get a negative two that also cost one. You've got the one three value, but that negative two is just nice to have.
Alexander Coccia:It is kind of interesting, right? And I don't know, like it's, it's how would this be for like affliction, right? Like does affliction need a new one drop that can maybe start to. Scale and early scalers have always been really good in Marvel Snap, but as a one drop, it's also very susceptible to like the skill mon mon play, of course. But yeah, like scalers have always been fantastic. Like whether it's the scaling of human torch, the scaling of Nebula, the scaling of the. Silver Sable, I I, silver Sable is probably close to this if you think about it in effect,'cause Silver Sable is doing a negative two into the hand being drawn and gaining its power. Obviously different, different strokes here, but kind of similar effect. No.
Cozy snap:Yeah, that's why I kind of think she's not that great, at least like right now. Oh, not because the one cost like, like if this spell she gives you was free or whatever, then maybe and it's like, okay, then you get decisive, like negative two token. You can play the fact though that you're playing now at two. Two costs for, there's just way too much commitment here. I just don't, yeah, I don't like it as a one cost currently, if that's what it's gonna end up being. So this is not the most exciting way to start things out. Maybe, maybe, you know, she gets a, a stat line down the line. But as of now, not too crazy about this one. And I don't think there's a lot to say here other than head Khoi would like her. I guess. Like, like, I don't know, like there's ways to get easy power gifted, but I'm just not crazy about this skill card, if anything.
Alexander Coccia:No, I know. And obviously these are super early leaks, like you're talking about placeholder art, art here. So there's, it's entirely possible that things are gonna be modified moving forward to make it make more sense or even be, you know, more exciting than what we feel now.
Cozy snap:Yeah. Now, quickly, before we go to the next one, I did wanna highlight this elixir, who this was I'm, I was so bummed about this. This guy, we were like pretty excited for whenever we were first reading up about him. He was a one one, which okay, we can both admit was way too crazy for what he did. But I hate the two car. Now he's not an activate anymore and he's an on reveal. One of your cars destroyed last turn. Gets to revive. Here he was. A one one. Activate. The next time one of your cards is destroyed. This turn, revive it here. Like I just loved the setup way more on the one one and the cost and the value. This is less exciting.
Alexander Coccia:It is most exciting. And the one, one design I thought was super cool. But I, I suspect that they ran into a couple broken things, busting and testing because I know that Kid Omega was another thing that was really exciting. And then this one here, in combination, even fire hair. Like fire hair was gonna feast with elixir. And actually that's worth mentioning, and this is where you get our, you get your your. Your hand slapped a little bit by looking into the data mines when evaluating cards upfront is that some of the excitement for fire hair? I mean, fire hair was already exciting. Some of it was because of the one one Elixir kid Omega and some stuff coming out. And now that they've tapered that, those expectations slightly by modifying this card. And perhaps fire hair actually loses a little bit of value from this change. The cart still potentially has potential. That's a funny way to phrase that, but you know what I meant. It's, it still has potential, but I do think the one one activate was better.
Cozy snap:Yeah, a hundred percent. Moving on, we do have Jennifer Kale. Jennifer Kale. Now Jennifer Activate next turn. You get plus one energy as a two. Two. So clearly, you know when you play your down at the way to tune. So she's still kind of that. Quote unquote ramp card. This is a loc that you can save, which I'm all for, right? I mean, like loc sometimes, you know, you either get her right away and she's, you know, feeling a little bit like luster. But the only thing is at most times in a card like this at a two, two, you typically want to have that, to get that four right off the bat, right? So to me that's where it's like, oh, you know, little less exciting there, but there are, there's plenty of potential with her. What do you, what do you see?
Alexander Coccia:So first of all, this is one of those moments. It wasn't until I saw Jennifer Kale that I was like, okay, I guess we're really starting to go to the well now. I dunno if you know who Jennifer Kale is. I absolutely do not point. Oh, I thought you were about to
Cozy snap:interview with knowledge. I'm like, I have no idea who this is from. No, no.
Alexander Coccia:And when I saw this card, I was like, okay. So this is basically what Cy Lock from Wish with a Magneto hel Magneto helmet. And then like what the designer of Jennifer Kale was like, yo, Google, give me a random name. And Jennifer Kale came up. It almost reminds me of like in Dragon Ball Z where a lot of the sands are named after vegetables. I don't know why that's just stupid, but,
Cozy snap:or, or just like first of all, it's great. Second of all, no. Also, it's just like when someone, like on a, on like a Disney channel shows like under disguise and they're like, what's your name? They're like, lamppost LA Lamppost Street. Lamppost Street is my name. Like where they look around and come with the quick names I get. Okay. It's my
Alexander Coccia:favorite version of that was Family Guy when that happened to Peter and he's like, Peter and then like a Griffin.
Cozy snap:Dude, that's an old, that's an old episode, man. And I actually, that was a race to my brain until he was like, Peter Griffin. Oh shit. That was a good call. Yeah. This, I don't know, man. It's, it seems like it's, it's, it's. I don't know. It's all right. I guess the activated, especially like two costs we've seen time after time is like as most you wanna get up, unless it's like a really good, could they ever have a card like this be a one cost, like a one zero?
Alexander Coccia:I don't know. I don't think this is that bad though. I don't think that bad. Like obviously S Lock has its place, but if you think about it, you could play this on too. And then there are some decks, like electro decks. This is better in electro deck than a sidewalk is because in an electro deck you often disproportionately have fives and sixes. Cy lock coming down on two usually doesn't result in you playing anything. Whereas this Well, yeah, you're not playing,
Cozy snap:you're not playing a Cy Lock in an electro deck anyway.
Alexander Coccia:I know, but I'm just saying if you're coping in a little high, a little inebriated will say to be a little more polite to the PG audience, then like you, you would play Jennifer Kale and that would allow you to reach to the five and the six costs earlier on. It's just I feel like a
Cozy snap:one, one, A one one would be interesting'cause you gotta activate, so you've got that like. Knock against her, but then you could play her on one. So if you happen to get the perfect draw and you get her, you get to have essentially what would just be the sidelock effect, right? And get to play a turn a, a forecast on three. Right. So like that's best case scenario I guess, right? Well, oh no,'cause it is, it's next turn you what if they got rid of that and it was just activate, you get plus one energy.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, but it would still just apply next. True. The same thing? No. No, not really. Unless the only way it would work is with Bruce Banner.'cause you just pump, like it'd be, it'd be good for Evo D if it happened on the turn, but no one would want that.
Cozy snap:Listen, there's some really good ones coming out. Guys. We're just might've started with some of the less heat in the in the mind here, but we'll, we'll continue, we'll continue on our way. And speaking of way, Morgan Lafe is our next card here. Four costs. Five power card. Very very interesting honor field. Return all of your discarded and destroyed cards to your hand with plus three power. Hey, now, hey, now what? This is interesting. This is kind of a new. This is a new card and or archetype built. Yeah.
Alexander Coccia:Oh, a hundred percent is the new build round card. And the question I have for like Glen would be, does this work with Quinjet? Like would the cards become discounted or do they just come back and they just start in your hand and they've been in your deck? Like I don't know how those interactions are gonna work, but it is a really new, interesting take on what discard could potentially be. And of course destroy as well. So I'm actually really excited for this one from a deck building perspective.
Cozy snap:I like her a lot. What I think would be so cool is you go to all the crazy one costs you can find, right? So like just. All the great one costs and you make this like zoo death deck, right? Like the old days of squirrel where you would get rid of the squirrels to get death down. You're gonna kill monger, all of your own cards. But it's a bunch of these really cool one cost cards that you use. You kill monger them, you play this on four, you get all those back death goes down, right? And now you've got all these cars with plus three powers. You've got all these squirrels and you name it, right? So I think that's, it's super interesting of like the possibility of like doing some of this with like that style of a deck.
Alexander Coccia:I was trying on the spot to figure out how I could use Invisible woman with Morgan Lafe into Modoc to bring everything back, then dump everything with something. But I couldn't figure it out. I tried. Sorry,
Cozy snap:just, just didn't work. You know? It's a car that I forgot existed too, that I'm just gonna name. I don't know why This's gonna my brain super giant
Alexander Coccia:buddy. I was just thinking about the two, I was just thinking about Super giant, two top auto card that has seen absolutely no play whatsoever.
Cozy snap:Giant died, man. Like. They gotta start taking more risks at OTAs I think. Like they really do like it. Some of these cards are gonna get left, gone, like poof, gone. Which I always love when there's the paragraph, like this card has been outta the limelight for a while and it's like, yeah. Same as 19,000 other cards that come before it. Yeah. But alright, let's go to move on. We go next to in This one's interesting. We've got Nightmare, nightmare guys on Reveal. This is a two, two, replace the text of each card in your hand with that of a random card that costs the same amount. Wow. Interesting. So this is just pure, this is the fun play a little bit. I think he is probably not gonna be good. He's the kinda the fun card right? At the end of the day. I don't know. I think, I think there, there might be a cook eventually, but right now I'm not convinced.
Alexander Coccia:I think this might be kind of cracked, but maybe too reliant on you drawing him on too. Because like if you think about it, like imagine you have Finon as a six 20 and then his negative text is stripped away and he gets dooms texts. You drop a two, you drop a six 20, then he actually throws down dune bots. That's pretty crazy, right? Think about like martyr, right? Martyr not just trying to lose you the game. Now it's just iceman or whatever, right? Like I think that most effects in the game are positive, right? But then again, if you don't pull nightmare. You just have like a deck with mortar and, and in infant and you're like, bro, what am I doing?
Cozy snap:So does he go in like a so on deck where you have the Ebony and the, what's that other like a lizard kind of thing, even what's his Face Star brand and then all of a sudden they can do like a star brand that's a three 10 that's able to, I don't know, do a, a fast dose effect or whatever. Yeah,
Alexander Coccia:I think you're cooking. Yeah, I think you're cooking. I,
Cozy snap:I think that's where it'd probably be at. It's interesting. I think this is like a very high risk, high reward card, but I think it's a lot of fun and it's gonna be good content. I like it. I like the art design too. It's like a new
Alexander Coccia:take on Pixie kind of.
Cozy snap:Yeah, I think that's a good example. Like it feels like
pixie
Cozy snap:with a bit, not a, yeah, a bit more like a bit. There's, I dunno, there's a lot of RG here. Now Nicholas scratch. Alright. The Nicholas scratch as said. Wait,
Alexander Coccia:the Nicholas scratch. Who's Nicholas? Scratch then Agatha, you dunno about Agatha. I know I wait, is he from Agatha? All along? I watched that. He's from Agatha's.
Cozy snap:Entire origin story.
Alexander Coccia:Go check out my video. It's a dead channel now. Wait. I know, I know. Scratch Scratchy is the cat. No,
Cozy snap:go watch. Go watch. Cozy tv. I did a an, I did a episode on Agatha. I'm gonna make you go watch it. Everybody watching this, I'm gonna return that channel version. I've not
Alexander Coccia:watched that one. I feel like I've watched it. Maybe I'm just totally forgetting. I gotta watch it again.
Cozy snap:Nick. The Scratch is a one two, another one cost card. I feel like we don't get a lot of one cost cards in this game, but after you play Skill plus One Power. So here's the deal about this guy, right? I feel like this guy's awful. However, he'll be good in like 2027.
Alexander Coccia:This is a high voltage card or some garbage. This is what that is. No,
Cozy snap:but hear me out. I think you'll be good. Like down the line though. I don't know. I think skill is definitely where they're gonna go with a lot of these, you'll imagine, like with skill, right? Like imagine if they go with like, I don't know, like Moon Knights grapple or whatever, like they're able to, they're able to really just go wherever they want to with it. And so once they are on like the most deep cut Marvel heroes, which there's still plenty, but there's also, they're getting deep, you know what I mean? They might go and, and go to like. Iron man's pulse cannon or something like that. And then you got a one cost card that's just feasting.
Alexander Coccia:It's, it's true. I mean, it's hard to value'cause we literally don't know what skills are. We kind of really don't know what they are. Another scaling one drop though. And I, we just finished saying what the other one, like traditionally scaling one drops have been good in snap. I don't know how, we don't have enough information about what skills are. Yeah, but this is a one, two, at least
Cozy snap:next up we move to Merlin. Yes. Merlin. That you know from King Arthur and all, he is a two KI three power card. And Merlin doesn't even have a background man. That's how, that's how much they're cooking with this guy. This is quite the card buddy. This is the new two. Kas Nico, in a way. Two, three at the start of each turn at a wizardly. Wizard Lee. Goodness. Incantation to your hand, Alex. And what are those you might ask? Well, first of all, you already got a two, three. Look at some of this art, by the way. Hmm. This is cooking. Love to see what you got here. We're gonna go through all of them here. And first we have Omniverse presence. It's a one oh. And this for one cost is fine with me on Reveal. Replace this location with a new one and give Merlin plus two power. So you make Merlin. A three five technically, and you get to get a little bit of a swappy swap of the location.
Alexander Coccia:Scarlet Witch in shambles
Cozy snap:did Scarlet Witch has get Reworked soon.
Alexander Coccia:Oh no. This makes Scarlet Witch look like such a POS. It's actually crazy.
Cozy snap:Well, that's'cause they're waiting to make Scarlet Witch Doomsday Edition. Like they're gonna, that's gonna be, yeah. Scarlet's gonna stay how she is. But yeah, this one, this one. Not too exciting, but we continue on here once and future. On reveal another one, cuss. Shuffle your lowest power other card here into your deck to get plus two energy. Next turn that. That's a spicy meatball.
Alexander Coccia:It's a imagine like playing debris, shuffling a rock into your deck just to get plus two energy. Then like, I don't know, somehow it's just like you just play some massive, I don't know.
Cozy snap:That's a nice cook immediately. I like it. I think there's plenty of cars you could do that with, man. Even like, I don't know, something we're just setting up like squirrel girl, something. I don't know. You do it on the main one.
Alexander Coccia:Dude, ku, you could swap KU into the debt. Finally, they have the meta get pushed power, and then he comes back.
Cozy snap:The meta's here, the meta, the, the meta, the time has come. The iba, the KU meta is a bonus. So you get, you get these wizardly in cont obviously, like the bad part about it is like you don't know. It's the start of each turn, so you just dunno which one you're gonna get. And there's a per, there's a specific order. So you get this guy, you know it's not gonna be as good because it's next turn. So it just depends. Polymorph is finally coming to Marvel. I feel like it was just a matter of time before we got something like this. But Polymorph on Reveal, transform, transform your lowest power other card here into one that costs two more.
Alexander Coccia:This is such a weird read on what Polymorph should be. I know. I feel like Polymorph should make it weaker. It should take like their highest power card and turn it into a sheep traditional. This art should be a sheep. Yeah. And it should. This, this, the text makes no sense. It's actually insulting to what Polymorph should be
Cozy snap:traditionally in almost every game ever. That's what Polymorph does. So very interesting. They went with this route to just, I don't know, go with this. I mean, this is really good for like a forecast. Card or even a three to a five, that's probably where you're gonna get your best value is a three to a five. Just because it'll make sense curve wise too. I just think this is a good card to have. I mean, you're playing one cost into cards that you don't mind getting rid of.'cause there's so many cards in this game that you're just getting that instant value from it. You move on, let's say Iron Heart, for example, turning an Iron Heart down at a three zero into now a five cost card is cooking.
Alexander Coccia:It is, but like there's a reason why no one wants to play Cy.
Cozy snap:That's five. Except for you. I guess that's a five Costa bro.
Alexander Coccia:Like I know it's true, but buddy, I like this a lot
Cozy snap:in turn six too.'cause like you can look at your lanes where you're losing and you're like, okay, you don't have to full commit. It's the lowest power card too. So you're able to have way more direction.
Alexander Coccia:What, what's the location? Central Park that throws all the squirrels everywhere? It's buff for that, I guess.
Cozy snap:Same as yeah, same as that other card. Lafe. You just destroy'em. Have'em come back. More squirrels for everybody. Then
Alexander Coccia:what's the ninja? The ninja place pops up and you take that negative two ninja and turn'em into like, I don't know, Sebastian Shaw,
Cozy snap:little valley of the hand. The ancient one. I'm actually shocked it took. As long as it did to get her to come to the game. The ancient one. We haven't even, I really
Alexander Coccia:like the ancient one. Like that's actually a really cool character in the movie. Yeah. It's like, I really like the ancient one. Yeah, for
Cozy snap:sure, man. I've always enjoyed her.
Alexander Coccia:All I'm just saying right now is that her variant looks like she's a peeled banana or something, like a cheese string. But I know that's not the question. She's a three five on reveal. Add a Tau Mandela to your hand.
Cozy snap:Wait, do look at some of these variants.
Alexander Coccia:I was just talking, that's the banana one. That's like the banana cheese. Like do you know what those what are they called? It is very banana. What's the peel cheese things? It's like you, there's like the cheese sticks and you peel them. Yeah. Cheese strings. Yeah. String cheese. String cheese strings, string cheese. They're called, I think the brand is cheese strings.
Cozy snap:Yeah, but they're string cheese.
Alexander Coccia:Okay, bro,
Cozy snap:you call'em string
Alexander Coccia:cheese. Yeah, you call'em cheese
Cozy snap:strings. Do your kids eat them?
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, my kids eat'em. They have'em at Costco. Every once in a while you get like a nice, like four. You just can't help yourself. He's
Cozy snap:such a dirty man. He is just like, you have to get Costco outta your mouth. It's such a dirty man.
Alexander Coccia:He says to me, slip
Cozy snap:outta your mouth every five seconds. Alright, here's the deal. This beautiful card that you're gonna get from it is a three oh honor. Reveal your characters here. Copy the text of one of your ongoing cards here. So it kind of has a little omo feel to it. Now you might be like, okay, right, there's, there's maybe a little heat. Maybe the only thing I could think of is that you do a T seven. I mean, there's a bunch of stuff, but you do a turn seven tribunal deck. You get that Ironman out, you turn'em all into Ironman, and then you finish, you finish off with like a. A triple threat iron man there. The only problem is, is like, dude, that's just a mess. I think. I think this card being a three five is just great on its own, and then you have a possible way to really upside it.
Alexander Coccia:I guess that's true. It's very interesting that the text does state your characters here, not your cards here. I wonder why they would make that statement. The
Cozy snap:skills, does it
Alexander Coccia:lean into the fact that maybe they're planning on having equipment one day and cards are not characters anymore? They characters or the skills
Cozy snap:stay, they're not banished.'cause the ones that say banish this, say banish this. But if we go back to as actual projection, it does not say that. It doesn't say banish. Yeah. So I think, I think skills can stay and it makes sense because then if you were to have, cap shield is the first one we have, but if you're gonna have something of that nature for the other people, mu you know, we have the mural near now, but like that kind of stuff. Makes sense
Alexander Coccia:bro. I just realized astral projection is basically morph against yourself,
Cozy snap:kind of, but morph can be anything I.
Alexander Coccia:So can what? No morph is what is in their hand. Yeah. This is what's in your hand. Wait, this is copy. It takes of an on reveal card. Morph could be anything in their hand. Oh, you're right. Yeah. But kind of. But yeah, I mean, this could still be the destroyer, which is nice.
Cozy snap:Let's talk about the very exciting card. This is my answer. Do coming to Snap now if you thought this card looks sick. Well, you're correct. It's also extremely on the complicated front as well. So the way this works, seven 10 game start, begin a summoning ritual. Add the first step to hand. So, man, it's always fun to have a game within a game, and that's what he's bringing. Anytime we've ever had these kind of cards, every time. They're broken. So like you look at like, hi Evo, aish them and know they always come out a little bit hot, a little bit crazy. Alex, there's a lot to kind go through with here. These variants are just gonna be able to absolutely cook here. So it's gonna add a zero cost of skill to your hand, right? That's these summing ritual. And it's gonna on you can honor, reveal, merge your highest power destroyed card with or Mamu to continue the ritual. So he's gonna be a seven 10. When you destroy a card, it's gonna add it to'em. Okay? Then you keep going. You got a one cost skill. The summoning ritual rule number two, honor reveal door mama who steals one power from each other card here to continue the ritual. Okay. And then you banish it. And finally, three cost skill. The last one on reveal to store two of your other cart here to subbing him. So I'll let you start. What do you think of this guy?
Alexander Coccia:First of all, I'm gonna request that everybody listening to this video goes into the comments section and says, cozy snap. I have come to bargain. We'll see how many of those we can get.
Cozy snap:Okay. First of all, I like it. We, we
Alexander Coccia:have to, we have to see how many of those we can get. Okay. Maybe we'll do a tally for the next Snapchat and shout it out. But I mean, the cars, I think it's super cool. I think that probably the the steel one power from the cards here to empower Dormammu is probably the most interesting synergistic, of course, with something like a Luke Cage. But this reminds me of like the classic big bad. Complete archetype shaping card. The Thanos is the high evos. This feels that impact. Oh, Aish, this feels like that level of card and I'm glad we're getting another one. And Al's a great choice for it, right? Deramus is a great choice for it, so I'm glad they're kind of doing it right, for sure. But this, it's complicated, but I, I hope the art, everything really leans into it.
Cozy snap:Yeah. So I, I feel like I love the option of choice here because. The, the three costs part of this automobile destroy two of your other cards here. There's a lot of stuff you could do with that. There's a lot of synergy that you're able to do with that, right? That's a card that's able to destroy multiple cards, but then bring down this big card at that, that continues to fuel an engine. So I think that this has some real heat to it, man, no pun intended. And I'm excited. I think they did the character right, as you just said. Like this was a, you know, I love when they, they typically have like. What, two a year, maybe just one a year actually of a card of this caliber. And, and this is definitely gonna live up to it, man, coming in June.
Alexander Coccia:But at the same time, like the, like Emoto. Is very like a lot of the cards recently I feel like have been, they've been pulling all the stops from a design standpoint. Like I feel like they've been trying to make very high end. Like, oh, not just Card does one thing, like it's card does like five things. Yeah. And that's good or bad. I mean, the complexity of SNAP is ever increasing, but I'm glad they're doing it. I think this is a cool design that I'm looking forward looking forward to.
Cozy snap:Well guys, he'll be coming bu comes I think in the first week of July. So we, he'll be heating up the summer for sure. Best of all, this is gonna be during the new Snap pack era for certain all these cards are. So I think, you know, they said they're gonna add more cards to the game. We're seeing it right here. And that's why some of them might seem a little on the lackluster side because they are the s fours. But some or series four, but some have that series five potential. Anything else to say before we close out the Snapchat here?
Alexander Coccia:Just that. I hope that second dinner tells us how much these snapbacks are gonna cost because I think that's gonna really help with the calculations. With regards to it's if it's worth rolling or not. Right. Yeah. I think they're probably holding it back'cause they don't want people to be scared of the economy. Yeah. Cozy. I got some good news on the Alex. You have to watch Marvel movies front. Finally, it took some time, but I finally watched Spider-Man across the Multiverse. I think that's the name of it. The second Spider-Man, miles Brown. It's not even the name of it. Definitely. Oh yes, the
Cozy snap:Spider for, I thought you saying like No way home or something. Yes.
Alexander Coccia:I'm talking about the Miles Morales animated from, so anyone?
Cozy snap:Yes. What'd you think? Yes.
Alexander Coccia:First of all, I have to tell you, obviously no spoilers or anything. You haven't seen it yet. It just hit Netflix in Canada, so I don't, I don't know if it's already available in the States or whatever. Phenomenal. I thought it was great. I thought that the art style was awesome, but also like it was so stylistic. That like there were times like, man, I'm lowering the brightness of my tv. There is way too much going on. And like there was like, there was a guy who plays guitar and he's like operating at like three frames per second compared to everyone else. I was like, my mind, it was actually like one of those, like, they really needed the photo sensitivity warning on that one.'cause I was like, bro, I was trying, I was getting a little swirly watching it, you know what I mean? A
Cozy snap:cozy, it's like a cozy snap shirt, that whole movie. Yeah. It's there's a lot of, lot of colors coming at you. I like that. That's your review of you didn't watch moon night, but you watched that. I hate you.
Alexander Coccia:Well, I'm still making my way through Daredevil and no, my wife's actually liking Daredevil, so I'm still kind of going through that work. You,
Cozy snap:no, your wife. Listen, listen. What if is the season? What if you, okay, what if you worked at Costco? What if you managed, what if you're a director of Costco?
Alexander Coccia:I would, I would eat too many hot dogs. I would feel sick. You go for the hot dogs there. Out of all the things. No, actually, you know what? It's funny you say that. I actually, you can buy the hot dogs like packaged in the frozen section and I have in the past. And you feel too dirty, man. It feels too bad. Yeah, of course. Like when you eat a couple of one of those, it's like, you're like, oh man, what have I done to myself? I'm convinced the pizza there immediate, you
Cozy snap:pump the, they pump the scent out. They don't actually, it's, it, I, every time I exit, it just hits you right in the face and it's, it's really, it tempts me. Yeah. At least here.
Alexander Coccia:I don't think the, the pizza's very popular where I am. Oh, it's interesting. So what I see a lot is people have a lot of the hot dogs with the soft drinks. I'm not a soft drink guy. Like I, I don't wanna waste, listen man, I'm getting soft. I can't waste them calories on some Coca-Cola or something like that, man. I much one. Yeah. I can't, I used tell all the time I can't cut it out. Yep. But what I gotta tell you though is the soft serve ice cream. That's on another level. That's, that's Costco's true item of choice is like if you get a saucer of ice cream at Costco, you can even get a cup and you just get the, the waffle cone and they'll put it in the cup upside down. The kids will love that'cause or else they just make a mess all over themselves. You know what I mean?
Cozy snap:I like how there's like different kinds of people, like cult following people of like. The, those that enjoy soft serve ice cream, which most people do, but those that do like actively go out and try to find it. Like my wife love her to death, but one of those people that are like, Hey, this thing has blue 40 in it, red 20, you know, whatever. I'm like, okay, but then when it comes to soft serve with some sprinkles on it, man, those rules don't apply.'cause she's a big, soft, safe kind of person. Are you one, are you a soft surf? You are. You just said. Yeah.
Alexander Coccia:Listen, I, I'm a connoisseur of ice cream. If I can be totally honest with you. I, I love all types of ice cream. Soft serve ice cream is, is great. But like I, if I go out somewhere, I'm like the kinda of guy, I'm like, you know what, I'm a grown man. I'm almost 40 years old. I'll, I'll take some bubble gum ice cream. Gimme that cotton candy. Just throw cherry on top. I like to keep it
Cozy snap:manly.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. Keep, oh buddy. There's nothing about getting manly. Don't you remember what I ordered as a drink? We went out for dinner that one night. I got like a mojito or something like that. I got no shame. Yeah, you did. I want, I want my drink to taste. I, I'm one listen older strawberry daiquiri
Cozy snap:any day of the week, man. Yeah, we're like old fashioned. And, and Alex is like, how many sugar cubes in your mojito that you serve here? Three or four? I'm a five kind of guy. Listen, Alex I wanna live in a world where you're the director of Costco. I would love that. I don't know where the hell I'm going with this. What if Alex, what if Captain Carter was a great card? What if Goliath I. It was a great card. What do you think about the first two new cards? Obviously we always have the sham that is the bot ladder, so stats a little bit all over the place, but the feel, how'd you feel about'em?
Alexander Coccia:So there's a lot going on here. I've played a lot of Marvel Snap over the last week here, and I think that, first of all, I gotta say that sometimes I feel like I'm going through the motions. I'm like forcing myself to play because I'm like, man. I gotta make content. I gotta be knowledgeable at the game. I gotta force myself to play and sometimes I feel like, like that. With these two cards, I've actually been excited to play Snap again because I find ongoing to be super fun. Ongoing is a really like, feel good archetype. And so these cards obviously work very well together and elevate that archetype as a whole. So you do mention right off the top that in this first week we do have a lot of bot based statistics and when we talk about stats, we're talking about ranked 70 and above.'cause that's like infinite players getting back towards infinite. Always. Stats are inflated. Currently both cards are running near identical win rates, which honestly makes perfect sense'cause they're being played in the exact same decks. You're looking at 55% win rates and 15% popularity rate. 55% win rates actually on the low end. Historically, like if we go back and look at, especially the Moto and everything else that first week, those are actually pretty low. And that makes sense because these decks are hyper susceptible to enc, chara and some other things going on in the meta. And so like if you actually want climb, like if one's, my weekend missions were done, which are done pretty fast because I actually wanted to play this weekend. I've just been playing sohan like,'cause I like the archetype. And that deck naturally runs in chara. And you're feasting. You're absolutely feasting. So the cards are performing probably less hot than I would've expected, honestly. Yeah.
Cozy snap:But also because it is it's just counter week. Like whenever you get any cards like this, it's just, it's all, all the sweat stew, right? I mean, and it's can't blame'em, right? Like people who get mad at people who play in chant, like get over yourself, like they don't get the new cards. They're gonna play that. Of course they're gonna play that however. It made me realize, I think super scroll's the stupidest card in the game. Like I, I, this card isn't even like Luke Cage, right? Like there's an affliction thing coming out. Luke comes out, right? But Luke still played super Scroll is just super ass, and that's it. And then whenever something like this comes out, he's played the counter. And that's the only time we ever see play from that guy. And I guarantee you he's gonna disappear back into the ether yet again in just a couple weeks.
Alexander Coccia:It's true. Like he's the card that you play'cause you have to, you lose the mirror match without him. Right. He's in a really weird spot now. I don't think cozy. You're calling for like a super skull Nerf or anything like that? No, not at all. No, but, but obviously like, I'm just joking. That was a joke. But I do think that like, yeah, it's weird how he comes and goes but in like a really weird way where it's not even like he's not even really countering because you play him in the ongoing decks. Yeah. Wouldn't it be interesting if he wasn't an ongoing card? And so you couldn't use him in ongoing. He was a pure tech piece. I
Cozy snap:don't know. Hmm. Well, well one day we will, we'll find out. Well, we'll find, we're gonna see him again in the next great ongoing card coming out. But yeah, man. What I said in our review of these two cards, our pre-review of'em is I had a feeling it was easily gonna be spectrum for these two cards. No question about it. And even though there's other stuff to cook, that's exactly where it ended up being played. And kind of merged both of our ideas. We were like, man, we love June, 2099. Oh, we love Spectrum. And then it kind of just. It began to be the merri mint of both of them.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. And actually it was kind of interesting to see if I can tap myself on the shoulder here. The Doom 2099 deck that that I had cooked on the initial launch ended up being one of the top ones going into the weekend, which was kind of nice to see. It's nice, it is nice to, you know, get a little decent home run as they say. But what I kind of realized though was that June, 2099 clearly got nerve in anticipation of Captain Carter. Oh yeah. However, captain Carter did feel a lot more awkward to play than Goliath, and if I had to pick between these two cards, I actually think Goliath is probably the better of the two, but. Here's the challenging part. We talked at length on yours about how like the keys are in an awkward spot. The smaller of Cashs are awkward. I think that buying the season pass is a confident choice in Marvel Snap. Yeah. For that$10 USD you're getting a lot of value. You're getting a series five card, you're getting all the, the weekend missions obviously all the, well, you get the weekend missions anyway, but you get to do the, the season pass card one, right, which is gonna be every single week for the rest of the month. So you do get a lot of value there, and I think that's definitely worth your, your resources. However, I think Elias the better card. I think Elias, a very natural inclusion, whereas the micromanagement of Captain Carter has been awkward at times for me, and it makes me realize that the dumb, dumb Dugan or whatever, we're getting dumb dumb dug in that new card's coming out and the interactions with the plate, that that macro front row, back row, I think is way harder to anticipate than maybe we had realized in the up we had said this. We had to test it to see how it was gonna play. Yeah. I'm about you, but like, I'm not loving it. Like I'm not sold that that extra micro management's worth it.
Cozy snap:They have to really like, it really has to outweigh. We've seen this now a couple of times. It's like, man, they cook so hard with on reveal and ongoing that all the new stuff they've tried just hasn't landed as we've anticipated. So Activate was obviously the clearest example of that. And this one too. I think the more we play it though, the more we can get adjusted to how it is played with these being the first ones that are out. Just a little tougher to, to try. Like, I'd be interesting to see, you know, a six cost that o that affects the front row.'cause then it's like, okay, that's, that's much easier to try to get done. Right? It's because dumb done is, it's the way that they're opposite right now. So I think, I don't want to give up on it yet or anything, but I agree it's harder than we thought
Alexander Coccia:it is. And, but at the same time, captain Carter, while I think is probably underperforming. I think it, I think likely by the end of this season it'll have very mediocre stats, but at the same time it's hard in this first week.'cause not only do you have the bot inflation, but literally everyone in their grandma is running ENC chara. And the other side to this is because of the weekend missions, I think in Chara is gonna be a stick around card for probably this month. It wouldn't surprise me if. Captain Carter starts to look great, literally into the next month when it's less people are playing in chances, less obvious counters, because ongoing is one of those archetypes that has immediate turnoffs. It's almost like it, it feels similar in a way to like when we got Diamondback. Yeah, I think Diamondback's probably one of the best cards that came out recently that no one talks about. Yeah. And it's just because in that launch week, it got shut off immediately and no one's really been talking about on like, affliction over the last little bit, but Diamondback's a sick card. Yeah, but it comes up. You people just play neck cage and this is over. You know what I mean? So Captain Carter and Goliath, I think kind of suffer in that same, in that same way to some degree. Now we, we actually came in four stars for Captain Carter. I came in five stars for Goliath. I actually didn't write yours down. Do you remember what you came in at?
Cozy snap:For Goliath? For Goliath? We both came in at for him. So it was fives? Yeah. We both had'em at one on the, on the season.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. And you know what? Honestly, I think that he probably could end up there still, but right now it's not looking as good as I would've expected, honestly. But time will tell.
Cozy snap:Yeah. I felt that too immediately. That's, I was like, oh man, we ringed him high for, but I think time will tell. Yeah. Yeah. Again, I think it's too early.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, it def it definitely is too early, but cozy. You know what else is not too early for one of the worst transitions I've done in a while here it's not too early to talk about. The cards that suck in Marvel Snap, sir. And this is actually one of our favorite topics, one of my absolute favorite topics to do. And we joke about how we come back to it all the time, but it actually has been like months since we've done this. Months cozy. I like how you're starting with the Baron, by the way. I know you spent gold on this variant. That's the only way we would've gotten this. Adam, how dare you. No, I ran it. How dare you. No,
Cozy snap:it was I got this in the in the mail.
Alexander Coccia:You did not, sir.
Cozy snap:That's fake news. I think I did this to get the album at the time or something.
Alexander Coccia:Some cards just suck in Marvel, snap man. They just suck. And you know, usually we lean on the classics. We lean on the Mr. Fantastics for the thumbnail, the warlocks. We lean on the white queens for the thumbnail. But I gotta give Glen credit, he's been ruining this topic. He's been attacking this topic, cozy. He knows it's one of our favorites. He says, no, Alex, I know you wanna talk about the cars that suck, but I'm gonna buff them over and over again. But Glenn, I got bad news for you, sir. Despite your efforts, there are still cars that suck in Marvel Snap. Cozy. Why don't you hit us with one?
Cozy snap:Did you see white Queen come to rivals? Did you see her trailer? I,
Alexander Coccia:dude, I don't wanna talk about it. I, I saw, I saw the trailer and then I saw the skin. I was like, these guys know, you know exactly what you're doing. Also, do not for a moment think, yeah, but who care? That is gonna be a money printing machine. They're gonna do, you know how many, like, just go through the variance in, in Marvel, snap, the archer variance and everything, the amount of thirst. You know what it's like thirst equals sales, I'll say is basically what's gonna happen. A
Cozy snap:hundred percent. Snap is super tamed in that front though, I feel like, like for the most part. But I, yeah, I still a lot of, a lot of heat about you know what Queen guys she's wearing? She's wearing quite outfit. She's wearing
Alexander Coccia:nothing, dude.
Cozy snap:She's not wearing much, but the thing is like, so like her outfits here, they're pretty tame compared to what she usually wears. In the comics. That's the thing that I've been trying to express to people. I mean, this one leaves little to the imagination, but here's the thing. That's her whole shtick. Like her whole hero uses her sex appeal against men and minds, whoever really? Because she's trying to get into the minds and that lowers the threshold to get into, right? Like, that's part of her character. So like, if they, if they like, you know, if they, if you got like, I don't know name. Well, Shauna was the first one I scrolled up to. That doesn't work. And Mystique honestly is a great one too. Let's say Jean Gray. If Jean Gray came out in Marvel Rivals and she maybe had a similar outfit, I'd be like, okay. Okay, hold on. Let's see what they're do. White queen though. That's kind of what she is. I feel like
Alexander Coccia:this, this, that's a lot of cope, man. Like when I, when I saw that skin that, I'll flash on the screen for a second here. That was much, what's this? That, no, it wasn't a rival. It wasn't even a rival skin that was like, was this, do you remember like a long time ago they had that like dead or alive beach volleyball game?
Cozy snap:Oh, that people argued
Alexander Coccia:with was like an east volleyball example dude game like buddy, that's not the white queen kid. Literally from a comic. No, it's not.
Cozy snap:Yeah, it is a hundred percent Xmen. A hundred percent House of Acts or whatever. No, it's not House of X. It's a lesser known comic, but it's definitely a football comic.
Alexander Coccia:Although you weren't digging then they're like, guys, no, no, no,
Cozy snap:no. I'm telling you, I'll tell you. It's why Queen. But yes, I, I don't know how we derailed so much. Yeah, we derailed so hard. I just say, why Queen? And I was like, I had to, I had to break it up. But yeah, the Gooners, they're gonna be goon. As the kids say,
Alexander Coccia:you know, I'm not entirely sure what that means. I'm scared to look it up, but let's talk about some cards that actually suck.'cause White Queen is legitimately playable. Okay. I think we have to start with a discussion about specifically the the Mantis, the star Lord, the Drax, the guardians of the Galaxy. And the reason why I bring this up is'cause they are invisible. Invisible in Marvel, snap, but then. When Sanctum Showdown came out, they were all over the place. Cozy. Are these cards that you think can be on and off? Relevant? Relevant only in a single, limited time game mode and invisible at every other time. Do you think that's okay for Snap?
Cozy snap:I don't, but like ever since that fantastic four first Steps thing, it's just changed my mind.'cause we're gonna get, of course we're gonna get mantis. Guardians of the Galaxy Forward dish, right? Like, I don't think this is another one coming out, but like I, that like, I, I hope not. Like Mantis is just pure garbage man. Man. Mantis is like that special type of garbage.
Alexander Coccia:I actually have seen bots play Mantis Man. Like when you see, when you see employee Nikia Mantis being played Colossus, you're like, okay, like this is a free game. What was she
Cozy snap:when she first came out again? Mantis.
Alexander Coccia:Oh man. What was she when she first came out? Like way back Dude, you know, I think, I think, was she a three?
Cozy snap:Let me look. No, she was a two. I think she was a two for sure. Look at her up, right? Okay. And if
Alexander Coccia:she played it, if you played the card, you stole a card from their deck. Right? If you, she was a, if you guessed the location,
Cozy snap:she was a, oh, no, no, no, no, dude. So she was a one two. She was a one two? No. Okay. No, no, no. She was a one two in like beta when she really came to the game. Wait. This game came out in 2022. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No. She was a one two on reveal if your opponent played a card here this year and draw a card from their deck. She was a one two. She was a Mil card and now she is that you copy them into your hand. Then she went to a two. It's some of the worst texts
Alexander Coccia:in the game. Yeah.
Cozy snap:Yeah. She went to a two three though on reveal if you put a plate, a card here, this and draw a card from their deck.
Alexander Coccia:Ooh. Draw a card. She may as well be a zero. Zero. She's awful. Yeah, she's absolutely awful. And even when Guardians of the Galax Galaxies was insane in Sanctum Showdown, she saw Zero play and people were like somehow begging for guardians to get nerfed during that time. But it was so crazy. I saw Reddit post. People were like, yo, I'm sick of the Guardians. And they actually made like a kind of a, like a middling. Patch changed to that, that mode there, they, they nerfed or they banned some cards midway through the Garden Scout got to remain, but Mantis never saw a shred of play. Mantis is by far one of the worst cards in And is this the worst card in Snap straight up? I think it probably is. Yeah. I think this is the worst it has to
Cozy snap:be. This is the worst card in game right now.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. I can't think of a single other card that's as bad as Mantis, but I'll try. I'll pitch you another one. Okay. It actually came up already on the Snapchat. Cozy Rescue literally sees a 0% play. It has no stats. Effectively, rescue still is a Marvel Snap card on Reveal if you play a card at this location next door. And plus five power, the opposite, the inverse of Jessica Jones, who's another card who sees absolutely no play, but I bet you Jessica Jones is probably better than rescue. I mean, it's like polishing a turd as they say. But
Cozy snap:yeah, I, dude, that card has just, has been. Dog water forever. Like it's, it's never been good. Like there was never a time where somebody had to rescue and you were shaking into your boots. I think didn't they try to make it and activate and they just, it never worked.
Alexander Coccia:Was, it might have been one of the cards that they mentioned as an activate. I
Cozy snap:think they tried to, I think
Alexander Coccia:there was a couple they mentioned, right? They like, oh, these could potentially be activates and rescue. Was that part of the conversation? I don't quite remember.
Cozy snap:I think, I think it potentially was, but it definitely that. Like, they might as well give you a feature to get rid of cars in your collection. Just to make the scroll down to go through your cars a bit quicker. Rescue could be one of them. I would, they could erase her from the game and I wonder how long it would take somebody to notice that she's not there.
Alexander Coccia:That would be so funny. They should actually do that. They should go like cards outta the game to see if people even notice. Yeah. I like it. Do you have a, do you have a hot take here as what might be one of the worst cards we set? Well, I had
Cozy snap:a rescue man. I had a rescue is mine. That was my, that was my absolute go-to. Lemme think here, man.
Alexander Coccia:Hold it. Are you actually having trouble thinking of garbage cards? No. There's, I think there are so many garbage cards. Okay, G, I'll, I'll hit you one. You see the worst card in the game? I was thinking worst. Worst card. Oh, like absolute worst. Okay, C. Can we make an argument that Celine is maybe the worst from a standpoint of where we thought it could be to where it ended up like Celine on paper. Looks like it could have been a very legitimate card also going into the, an nihilist releases. Right? And then it just never even made those decks. Isn't that wild?
Cozy snap:And she was, and she was mentioned in patch notes, like on a, remember that she was like rumored to be in these patch notes and she was about to be crazy. Did you do, do you remember seeing this or No?
Alexander Coccia:I vaguely remember that. I vaguely remember that. I'm not sure I, but sometimes like we get things in advance and then they change them and I'm not sure when. I'm not sure when I saw that. Like we, I've had, I don't know, maybe sometimes we get patch notes and like, like we usually get them a few hours like, or like 24 hours in advance of the changes. Yeah. Yep. And sometimes they'll be like, Hey, we've actually amended the notes, FYI or like, we've seen stuff like that in the past. Is that what you're referring to or was it just straight up like a D of mine?
Cozy snap:They, they, I believe like if you clicked on the notes on the website or in the game, it would take you there. But then they weren't there and they were accidentally included and Oh, I
Alexander Coccia:do remember that. Now that you mention it, it was like on the steam page or something.
Cozy snap:Yeah. And they did something here, dude. Now I gotta, now I gotta find it. But while I'm trying to find it here, by the way, what is this purple as? I know it's funny Ha ha to play him. I do think Kang though is just downright, like, I, I have not played this card from my hand. In over at least a year.
Alexander Coccia:That's crazy. Why is it crazy? I, I, would it surprise you to know that I've played Kang relatively recently? It would not
Cozy snap:surprise me at all. No.
Alexander Coccia:He's okay. There's only one deck where I play him on, ironically, and that's in my destroyer URI Nimrod deck. And the only reason why I do is because I feel like that deck actually kind of works on 11 carts. It doesn't really need a 12. And like I look at him, I'm like, I could force another card in here. And like I was playing fire hair in it and that was fine, but it wasn't really necessary. But like, Kang is kind of funny'cause I'm like, well, what if they, what if they cosmo me? What if they. You know, what if they play Shadow King and mess my whole thing up? What if, et cetera, et cetera. And also, if I draw into him and he acts as like a, if you draw into him and play him on five, then you get to draw into your combo better. I mean, that's kind of cop to ask you. He's great. He's garbage. I'm coping super hard. He's garbage. You should not be playing king in any way, shape or form. And it actually surprises me that he hasn't been reworked yet.'cause he probably should be a legit bat. He should be. And I don't know if the fact that he's not gonna be in the MCU U much anymore is taken. No, I feel like that was it.
Cozy snap:Like after the whole Jonathan stuff happened and they're like, alright, we're done too. Like, they must've gotten the call from from Marvel. They were like, cut it, kill him. He's done. He's bad. Hey, I found the Celine thing. It's so busted. No. Wanted this thing go through, I dunno what they were thinking. One, one win revealed or on reveal steals two power from the card with the lowest power. In each player's hand.
Alexander Coccia:Wow. That's actually pretty crazy.
Cozy snap:That's so stupid. That's way too good. Especially if you're stealing it from your opponent at that point.
Alexander Coccia:It is the steal text. Yeah, like steal is really good.
Cozy snap:That makes it essentially a, like a one five, but like, or one three with upside. Yeah.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. Essentially it, it basically power creeps Silver sable. No. Kind of not really kind of different. Well, it gives
Cozy snap:you, it gives you much more control on it. She has a one five straight up, just baseline. And then like you can make your deck to always she'd be stu, she'd be too good. They must have tested this and said no.
Alexander Coccia:Well, I'm glad they at least tested that before ruining everyone's, everyone's enjoyment of, of Marvel Snap by releasing an absolutely broken sling car, which honestly could have been broken. Now I have a couple hot takes, but I have a couple straight up. These cards are poo okay. Martyr. Currently you're running a 37% win rate. Cool. And the reason, reason why I call it the win rate is'cause it sees enough play that that it actually can have some, some stats. I mean the card literally is actively trying to lose you the game. Yeah. That doesn't necessarily surprise me. Perhaps a martyr will be playable when nightmare comes out a card we talked about on your side there and you get the text swapped out of it. Now you have a one five. Remember that hydration bober? You got the hydration. Bober is a one five, he got nerve. You get that? Right. So martyr might be playable.
Cozy snap:Can I tell you card that I want to change? Penny Parker? Yes. You wanna
Alexander Coccia:change Penny Parker? Do you? How much do you love Penny Parker? I don't love Penny Parker, but like, I don't think that's a bad card. I think it's a very mid card. I think they'll wait. You No, no. I think Penny Parker's pretty good. What's wrong with her?
Cozy snap:I wanna play her more. And I really like your style. I just you play Penny Parker a lot.
Alexander Coccia:No, I would not say complete printing Parker a lot. Oh,
Cozy snap:by the way, how have we not talked about it? Scarlet Witch, complete Dog Water. That, so we've talked about it too much, I feel like. So we just skipped right over it. Scarlet Witch is just asked.
Alexander Coccia:We, Scarlet Witch came up before too, but not in, oh, not on this side yet. We talked about her on the power creep for the Merlin. Yeah. Yeah, so, so yeah. Scarlet Witch is garbage too. That like pure garbage. I still think that you could like really lean into the chaos magic side of Scarlet Witch. I
Cozy snap:think you,'cause you have like, I like the banish idea. I'm telling you I love the idea of you player down as a two, three. You get two locations, maybe three, probably two in your hand. Okay. So she could work a little bit with like car generation stuff, but also they're locations that are banish. You play those down and you know what? They're in advance. So let's say you get negative zone, but then sometimes you get borrowed with no name and you're like, you've got the power to play and change that location to a designated location.
Alexander Coccia:That's pretty cool. Or what if it was, she was like, Nico, where like the location constantly changed in your hand. Oh,
Cozy snap:I like that too.
Alexander Coccia:Right. It could be like that, but I also think that like of all the characters in Snap, like she's the one that I think makes the most sense. Oh, you're talking about the, the fantastic like four kind of being changed. You could have like Wanda Maximov as she is, like what, what the card is kind of like now, or what we're talking about. Then you have the Scarlet Witch, which should be leaning more into like the the chaos magic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then you could have like the Fallen Scarlet Witch dark, which he takes over the dark hold. Dark. Yeah,
Cozy snap:the dark hold version, right? Mm-hmm.
Alexander Coccia:Like that, that actually makes sense. Canonically, like that makes way more sense to have three separate cards for one hero better than like Mr. Fantastic. And then like, Mr. Moer fantastic. Or whatever. I don't know. I'm trying, I ran out of, it's too late, man. I gotta go to work suit, man. It's so late. I'm running out gas code.
Cozy snap:I feel like those are, those are a lot of the, a lot of the ery out there.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah, but dude, there's some, there's way worse. Okay, I got, I got one that I think obvi, this is an obvious one and it's one that we haven't taught about in a while, but Rhino does not have an identity in this game at all. None like Rhino makes no sense. Three, three ruin this location. I still think they have to like, lean into the ruining part, knock a rock on the opposite side, like do a little clog something. Give him something. It makes no sense. CLOs, he's completely, I still think Electra sucks. Electra is a one, two. It was a one one, now it's a one two. Oh, we don't wanna ruin the new player experience Cozy. That's what they're gonna say.
Cozy snap:What about fast dose?
Alexander Coccia:Well, I think Faso is probably good. I think Faso is probably underappreciated. Honestly. I do. I think that like the eternal type of deck design is probably a little bit underexplored right now in Snap. We're kind of getting to the point where there's so many possible deck types in Snap as more cards come out. Some just like. Leave the mindset of players. Okay? I bet you I could cook a really spicy fast o surfer deck. I'm almost certain of it. You go macari, you go, go cook it. Alex. Strong guy.
Cozy snap:You just fresh off the number one deck of the Goliath. Go cook some more. Go. Come on Captain. Listen. Hey, we brought her up already today too, but oof
Alexander Coccia:bru. Why is she wearing a jock?
Cozy snap:It's a, oh no, I was gonna say this for her belly button. What is. No, that's your belt. Oh, is that a separate unit? That looks like a hockey
Alexander Coccia:jock? Looks, looks like, like she's gonna play some goalie.
Cozy snap:How This isn't even connected to, you can't even see my map. But this isn't, oh, there we go. Hold on. This isn't connected to anything here.
Alexander Coccia:No, it's not. It's just floating there. It's like a little
Cozy snap:patch.
Alexander Coccia:You
Cozy snap:should
Alexander Coccia:get one of this. You know what, we're focusing on all the wrong things right now. If anybody knows canonically, what that is Now this, now this is, no, we're, we're, we're going down the deep end now. Cozy. We're now located. Great. This video is Demo Monetize. Thanks. That was, that was great. But yeah, super giant is absolutely awful. It's so bad because even like the cards that you used to try to use offensively with it, like, I remember like Taskmaster was a major combo piece with it.'cause they, you took the jock one off. Like you could place, I'm just kidding. I'm not sure what your goal about switching that variant was. Mm. I just, I'm just, I'm trying to get in your head.
Cozy snap:Yeah. I'm just, I'm just. Yeah, good. I need you to keep, okay.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. The audio listeners are like unsure what's happening, but cozy iss like rearranging the entire screen around these variants. So, yeah. I forgot, forgot I was saying. Oh yeah,'cause Taskmaster was the, one of the primary combo pieces,'cause you'd play super giant, you'd play taskmaster on five and then you could play something big on six and then Task Master would copy the big thing. You could even do that with like a Gore, but now Taskmaster six, so super dry makes no sense. There was a point in time where it was said that, oh, super Giant's tech against Gene Foster. But why the hell are you tech against Gene Foster? Yeah, right. Like right now, like Gore negative would probably have been the time you'd want to use Super Giant. No one used Super Jin.'cause then your deck just sucks. So like Yeah. Super giant's awful. I know. Absolutely awful. I remember being
Cozy snap:so excited about her and then it just didn't, didn't pan out. Yeah. Who else is on your little list there? You got Alex. What about
Alexander Coccia:Angel? Crystal, obviously. Crystal's a bad one. Still a bad one. Angel. Oh, angel's so awful. This is like, oh, I'm playing against the bot.
Cozy snap:When Angel got the buff, we were like, hold on, we can cook. And it just didn't, didn't cook enough.
Alexander Coccia:I think I saw it in a death Thano stack once and that's the only time I ever saw I put it. I think I put it in there.
Cozy snap:That was my thano stack. Yeah, that
Alexander Coccia:was you. That was your cut. Why? What are these purple squares, man? I'm getting a lot of good dude. The game is so buggy right now. It's not funny. There was a, okay, last patch thing. God, they fixed it where if you changed the card back, you couldn't actually do anything in the UI anymore. That was so frustrating. It's, it's now been almost an entire year. Kate Snap. I'm calling you guys out. Why is the bug about making your deck still there When you pick the different costs and it like, even though you turn it off, it remains active and like lit up. It's been like a year and a half that's been there. Like the filter's broken. Like how is that still broken? Like, I have no idea. Couple more cards. Cozy. We talked Ku in, in tandem with one another. I think Lyth ruined both Ghost and invisible woman. I feel like they don't feel playable. They don't have much of an identity in the game. Ghost and Invisible Woman I think are very fun play styles. Ghost has
Cozy snap:never had an identity, let's be honest,
Alexander Coccia:but like Invisible Woman I think would be a very fun way to play Snap and there's no reason to play her and no one plays her at all. Finally, okay, here's, here's the last one. We're gonna close this, this segment with this. I want you to tell me if this is straight up cope or not. I think this is a hot take and I know comments are gonna go nuts. I think Valkyrie might suck.
Cozy snap:I think I agree. And she, you know what I mean? I love the card, but she, the card sucks that you can't do, you just can't do anything with her. Like you can't make her a four. Can't do it. There's like,'cause she's on the verge of greatness. But because she's
Alexander Coccia:not, she sucks. She takes too much effort. Too much effort. What if she was an ongoing card instead of an non reveal that an ongoing card that just repeatedly set the cards to three power. Is that too good?
Cozy snap:No, I don't hate it. I don't hate it. I just, because then
Alexander Coccia:if you play that with like a, like a Captain America, like those other cards still get buffed,
Cozy snap:man, I remember when this card first came out. That's probably too good. This card was so cool when it came out. I was like, man, this can be awesome. And there was like a couple decks, a couple wasp desk decks in there. An ant man play. I think I, I think I played in a tournament with an ant man Val deck. But yeah. Days are gone.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. Those days are gone. And is Orca bad too? Orca saw play with the original Miss Marvel. Right. If Mour is
Cozy snap:not bad in your book, Mr. High Voltage Namor kind, dude, I wasn't
Alexander Coccia:coping that, that was sick.
Cozy snap:Yeah. You, how much, how much whiskey did you have in between episodes? In between episodes? I don't know how much is in a bottle the whole. The whole thing. Yes. There's actually a lot more cars that suck than we than we thought,
Alexander Coccia:buddy. There's a lot of things that suck, but you know what? Doesn't suck Cozy. I knew you were gonna do it. The Snapchat mail bag,
Cozy snap:I knew, I knew it was coming up. Hit me with the questions.
Alexander Coccia:Cozy. I, okay. Listen, I gotta tell you, this is one of the funniest things I've ever written in my entire life.
Cozy snap:That's a big thing. This first
Alexander Coccia:opener okay, was so good. I actually laughed out loud, crying. I showed my wife and then she's like, really? I showed her the respective image. Okay. She laughed as well. Cozy. This first statement comes from Johnny Vo and it reads, and it's in reference to the prior Snapchat, and I'll put an image on the screen. Cozy dressed like the carpet in a 1996 dentist's office followed up by that. Easy for you to say. Who says he looks like a nineties UK bust seat. Strong look.
Cozy snap:Thank you. I appreciate that. That's the look. Actually, I was nailing. I can't believe someone, that's what my designer told me that they were trying to do, my designer being me. I was like, this really gives off. Dentist vibes. I really go for that. Right. I go for like, the airplane landing guy, the dentist office in the nineties, sixties. Sometimes I, you know, dare I say, I think my next look is going to be old school old school movie theater carpet as well. I think that's gonna really hit. So, you know, like with the, with like the neon? Yeah. Like the mm-hmm. That's gonna be And what, what do they call you?
Alexander Coccia:They, they, someone said that I looked like a 1990s soccer dad. Which, I mean, I'm literally wearing an Adidas tracksuit right now. That's
Cozy snap:like Alex Ko. Yeah. No, I think you look like the director of Costco, but like during his off day.
Alexander Coccia:Yeah. The most old man thing about me right now that you can't see is that I have like my socks on, but I don't have them like folded down towards my ankle. I have them pulled up towards my knee. Yes. Like that, like, it's, it's a hard, like, if you can envision what that looks like, like the old man's socks pulled up to his knee, that is an old man thing to do. I have a swimsuit on. I'm not even kidding here. You have a swimsuit on right now? I did. That's the very San Diego thing to do. I
Cozy snap:came from going in the kids' pool, my son. It was as it was. It was. It was. It was a hot day. Hot. What's the weather over there? Dude, our weather's been crazy. We had an ice storm. Yeah. Most of the country's getting.
Alexander Coccia:Rocked with a storm right now. Hurts out to you guys. Yeah, we had like a massive ice storm and then like it kind of melted, then it stormed again. I was like, what is ha And then like, it was like super hot. It was like 19 degrees. The next day I was like, buddy, what is going on ice storm to like nice spring weather, back to ice storm. I don't know man. It's crazy. The poor rabbits out there, they're just trying to enjoy their lives and need some carrots and stuff and everything's going cold and hot and cold again. Man, it's hard. It's hard to be a, a critter out here in Canada unfortunately. But. Heavenly Excess has another statement. And this one here actually somewhat brought a tear to my eye because I had not even realized I'd said it last week. Cozy, but heavenly excess said, Alex finally said it again. It's a good time to be a Marvel Snap player. Life is good again.
Cozy snap:It is. That's what we're, we're all waiting for. There gonna be wars, there gonna be just bad weather. But when Alex says that all feels right. In this sport, it's in
Alexander Coccia:reference to the snap packs. Man, I really do hope that these snap packs make a big difference for this game. I love the game and I, I think they're, I think they really do want to make these snap packs, right? Like I actually get this sense from the development team that they realize like this is their shot to win back the community. And I think they realize they have to do it, and that's why it's a good time to be a snap player.'cause if you're playing right now for, for once in a while, like for the first time in a while, is what I meant to say. It's like we have that light at the end of the tunnel, like some excitement, something to grasp onto like, yes, something's changing. One of the big problems is being fixed. And for that reason I'm very hopeful. Eric Hez has another mailbag question and this one here, cozy actually, I wonder if you'd enjoy, since this is a what if season, you should do a snapshot on the opposite sides and opposite outfits. I wonder what cozy would look like with glasses. Cozy is looking for glasses for the audio viewers. He he's gone. He's gone. We're getting a nice focused look at the the racetrack type of oh. There he's, oh my god. And you slid in. You did the slide in, dude. I, that was,
Cozy snap:that was my best.
Alexander Coccia:Incredible.
Cozy snap:That was my best. Alex. I have glasses, but I also have 2020. So these are not fake glasses though. They are. Go get your carpet shirt. These are, apparently, I have what is called a 2020 dry eye. So I, my eyes are looking at screens all day and key lights, imagine that. And I just need to put more eyedrops in. But these are for when I don't wanna put eyedrops in. They make things great.
Alexander Coccia:I cannot stand putting in eyedrops. That's like one of the worst things on the planet, man. I know. So I edit with these.
Cozy snap:Yeah, they had blue light. Yeah. Bullshit. They had blue light. I had, I had
Alexander Coccia:it with my blue light ones. These are, I, I like them. I, I, man, it feels really weird, like not wearing them right now. Like the, the lights are very aggress. You feel naked. Yeah, I know. Yeah. Well, it's funny. I, I look weird. I'm looking at myself. I look weird, but when I'm at work, I don't wear glasses unless I'm streaming or if I'm making content on, on a regular day, I'm not wearing glasses. You like Clark, people won't notice you without em. This is actually strange. I've never really thought of this. I actually am looking at myself right now and being like, yo, he looks kind of strange, but this is what I look like, but somehow you still look good. How do you do this? How do you do? How do you always look good? Man, it's not fair. It's not fair for the rest of us cozy. It
Cozy snap:is the sext man I've ever seen. So,
Alexander Coccia:alright, we're gonna close it up with one more question here. And it's from, I just, I just, what a name, man from Dirty Daddy 84, bro. Come on. That's, that's the best we could do. God. Oh man. But anyways, if we're giving out Marvel television show recommendations, just watch Agents of Shield. Yes. It starts off slow as a kind of monster of the weak premise, but around the middle of season one, it really picks up. And Season four is probably one of the best Marvel seasons of television. Cozy. Have you watched Agents of Shield?
Cozy snap:I have. It's good for sure. You'll never see it, but it's good. You won't have time for it, but it is. I I do, I I just, I'll
Alexander Coccia:never get to it.
Cozy snap:No, but you got, dude, you haven't even seen inception. You got, you got way too other, you got too many other things to worry about. I
Alexander Coccia:mentioned to my wife, we had to watch Inception. She said, yeah, I'll watch that. I heard it's good. So watch progress there. At least watch
Cozy snap:it. Go watch it. I will. So we, on our way through Daredevil, man, there's too much contact. No, I'll stop. I'll give you 10 steps on Twitch if you watch it by the next time we talk. Oh man. That's like, it's like a$50 pay. Kinda want the subs, bro. But like, it's 60, that's like 65 bucks to go watch a movie. That's a great movie, by the way.
Alexander Coccia:I believe it. I believe it's a great movie. I, I don't want like, I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know if I can. Oh man. Alright. You know what, I'm gonna try and do it. I'm gonna try Inception. Okay. I'm gonna, I'm gonna find it. I think it's on something like Netflix or whatever. We'll watch it. I'll report back next week maybe with the results of inception. But guys, thank you so much for watching this week's edition of the Snapchat Cozy, and I appreciate every one of you cozy. Once again, I wanna reiterate congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers and my friend, we're only just getting started. Thanks for watching, guys, and we'll see you on that next one.
Cozy snap:Well guys, thanks so much for coming over here to the Snapchat. Have a good one. Have a great one To the next one, happy snapping.
