Marvel Snap Cards That Win & Lose The Most Are Hard To Believe | Latest Gaming Industry News 2023
Image: Second Dinner / CommonStupidMan.ComWhen it comes to building any style of Marvel Snap deck, there’s always that nagging feeling that you might be including one or two
cards out of habit, rather than necessity. But when CommonStupidMan.Com spoke to the game’s creator, Second Dinner’s Ben Brode, we learned that the cards we ought to be leaving
out, and the ones we should be swapping in, were incredibly surprising.Since Marvel Snap’s release almost three months ago, Second Dinner has been accruing an enormous volume of
player data. Every game, every deck played in those games, and the cards that are winning and losing them, it turns out is logged in their systems. So when we asked Ben Brode, the
former frontman of Blizzard’s Hearthstone and project lead on Marvel Snap, which cards he thought most over and underrated, it was to this database that he turned to give the
most accurate answer.I was motivated to ask by my concern that the big-name cards I’d chased so long might not be the victories I’d hoped. I’d been beaten by Wong so many
times before I unlocked the card, for instance, that I feel compelled to include it. But what if its undeniably useful abilities don’t click into place often enough for it to be
a worthwhile space in a 12-card deck? Was I falling into traps, assuming the most alluring cards to be the most effective? It seems I needn’t have worried…about that, at least.
Because it turns out the most overrated card is less overt.Brode’s method to find the answers was to pull up what must be the most extraordinary treasure-trove of data, and
search for the card that appears most frequently in the decks that lose the most often. With a sample size of what must be hundreds of millions of games, the result would be pretty
convincingly a poor choice. And it worked out, that card was Shang-Chi!Image: Second Dinner / CommonStupidMan.ComG/O Media may get a commissionUp to $100 creditSamsung

assumed was, a superb griefing card. Its ability is to destroy any opponent cards at the same location with a power of 9 or higher. Which means, played in rounds 5 or 6, you can
absolutely devastate an opponent’s high-scoring location. That Devil Dinosaur pulling in points for all the cards in their hand, or pesky Magneto with its 12 power, is
