This was a day 1 deck idea but after messing with it, I landed on a version I really like. Really fun lines with this one. It is not a consistent deck but the Cube payoff is really nice on this. Fun matters folks. Stats from top 50

top infinite ladder today is like maybe 10% agamotto. I havent seen a season pass card get abandoned so fast.

Day 1 infinite is done. I played many different decks so I cant say there was any deck that stood out but here are some of the list to get you started. My kneejerk take on Agamotto is that i think he is maybe not as good as expected.

You guys are not ready for my Agamotto Galactus deck tomorrow

Last cook of the season before I bombard you with Agamotto decks is one and only Wiccan deck. You know I always will have the best Wiccan deck for you and this one is super meta relevant right now (at least until Agamotto shakes things up).

Well… looks like Hela is the baseline deck… again. The meta usually starts drifting towards Alioth and Clog when that happens. These 2 version of Hela are some of the easiest decks I’ve ever played. Going to be interesting how new season’s cards challenges this meta

I really like the new gamemode. Yes deck variety is lacking but its a mode with high value rewards so that was always going to be the case. For the future, id love for them to have rotating cards with with bonus Sanctum points to incentivize creativity. Pretty generous mode too with Twitch drops

Hard to trust early testing for Diamondback on ladder right now due to most players over at the new game mode but this is really fun. Good back up plan with surfer in case you run into an affliction mirror. Overall solid home for Diamondback

Just as an update, this is the best scream deck to play especially starting tomorrow I think. You will face a lot of affliction and this should easily stop anything in that category while doing the usual scream stuff

Many consider Scream decks to be the best right now and here is my version of such deck. Opted for more surprise factors with Luke winning mirrors and affliction matchups while Legion is a wild card of unexpected cube equity (also helps with greedy Magik decks like Negative). Stats in top 100

Redwing already feels mega ass not gonna lie. But it’s been an hour so this is knee jerkiest of all reactions

This deck is slowly becoming one of my favourites to play in the current meta. It’s a deck that requires you to be good at making reads which I find very fun in Snap. It’s also one of my more successful cooks this season so far. Customize the tech slots like Luke according to your pocket meta

Yeah soooo start putting red Guardian in every deck

Before I start sharing some OTA cooks, here is a deck that got me to top 50 this week. Super fun, super strong and hopefully OTA proof

My take on the new Mastery stuff is that the new Backgrounds are cool for cards you don’t plan on investing much into but bad for cards you want really good splits on. Simple as that

Top 10 variants in the game. Flaviano cooked again

69 wins.

Guess what their Gambit hit?

Hot Location? No problem! Draw your cards consistently and absolutely dominate any matchup.

I hit infinite last night so it’s time for full day 1 review of the new cards. Sam feels good. It is in some ways a “Mr Negative” as in you have to draw it on curve. I’m a full ongoing deck, at least you can use the shield as a body. So not crazy but solid addition. Recommend. But Torres…

Day 1 Infinite ♾ down! I played mainly Scream 😱 decks which both felt very strong and versatile, as well as a throwback with SasBird since Cap's Shield 🛡️ basically unnerfs Mockingbird 🐦! Sam Wilson 🗽🇺🇸 felt really good and I expect him to see play in a good variety of decks.

This feels extremely good! I am finding I can keep up with a lot of meta decks with it although it is pre infinite so take that as you will. Highly recommend this if you are looking into the ongoing side of things

In fact, they are cooking with this whole season

Okay they are cooking with the new game mode

I know I said my previous post was my last cook of the season but here are 4 Darkhawk decks I’ve cooked this week if you really want to hate on Arishem. I highly encourage you to take these ideas and make them your own as they are not optimally tested

Want to share my last cook of the season. I’ve been playing this for a few days now and has been feeling really solid especially with uptick in Arishem. Sandman was a recent post OTA addition and also feels great. Black widow is your flex spot as she feels like the 12th card for sure

Wanted to explore some Luna Snow and landed on this Thanos list that is surprisingly cooking with a slight downtick of move. Some cards will probably shift around in this build (really want Red Guardian here) but it has been a while since I’ve felt good playing some Prof X

Not very impactful OTA but dagger nerf was long overdue. Luna at 3/6 is also really nice but not impactful enough of a card to be relevant in a meta that can make 2/0 scale into 2/20

So Ares is a card. Its optimal places are Surtur and Mill, but it’s not unplayable in other things. Right now, a stacked ares deck will beat mirrors but over time non Surtur decks will be able to use Ares successfully. Fingers crossed for High Evo buff cause I had lots of fun despite losing a lot

I’m not sure if I like where the meta is right now. Mid range decks are almost unplayable right now due to how tall everything goes. You have to stack like 6 tech cards if you want to keep up. I hope Agamotto slaps as a card cause February cards don’t look that impactful

This season I’ve been trying to optimize control decks and these two are my best performing decks this season. If you enjoy tech based decks, you will beat most of the matchups out there with these lists.

A deck like this is going to get more refined but I am having a lot of fun with it. Iron Patriot is mega busted to me and Victoria Hand is for sure a good card that opens the door for some new stuff. Quinjet is playable here instead of bob or Kitty.

My day 1 Doom 2099 take is that this is the new baseline for the meta. It is beatable and counterable but most mid range decks cant beat it. I tested many decks and still have bunch to test but here are couple to get you going
