00:00:00.332 --> 00:00:02.219
(upbeat techno music plays)

2
00:00:02.219 --> 00:00:04.770
- [Lisa Marie Segarra] Marvel
Snap is a massively popular

3
00:00:04.770 --> 00:00:07.530
card battler featuring Marvel characters.

4
00:00:07.530 --> 00:00:09.030
And there's one character

5
00:00:09.030 --> 00:00:11.733
starting to make real
waves in competitive play.

6
00:00:13.630 --> 00:00:16.080
- Now, I'm your king.

7
00:00:16.080 --> 00:00:18.240
- Killmonger is a 3 cost, 3 power card

8
00:00:18.240 --> 00:00:20.010
with an On Reveal ability

9
00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:22.560
that destroys all 1 cost cards.

10
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:25.773
It's available starting
at collection level 222.

11
00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:30.720
At first glance, Killmonger
seems like a mid-tier card.

12
00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:33.600
3 power isn't likely to
make or break a match,

13
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:36.540
but its ability to destroy other cards

14
00:00:36.540 --> 00:00:38.130
might just secure you the win.

15
00:00:38.130 --> 00:00:40.590
You can use them as
another enabler for decks

16
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:43.230
built around cards that
trigger strong effects

17
00:00:43.230 --> 00:00:45.780
when you destroy them,
like Nova and Bucky Barnes.

18
00:00:45.780 --> 00:00:48.930
Or you can work Killmonger
into On Reveal decks,

19
00:00:48.930 --> 00:00:51.210
where Odin and Moon Girl
can give you a boost.

20
00:00:51.210 --> 00:00:53.310
Odin will reactivate the ability

21
00:00:53.310 --> 00:00:55.563
if you play the card in the same location.

22
00:00:57.930 --> 00:01:00.240
But Moon Girl gives you more flexibility,

23
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.280
gifting you a second Killmonger to play

24
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.810
by duplicating your hand.

25
00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:05.640
Having the Monger out there for,

26
00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.470
or potentially against you,

27
00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:10.740
can make you rethink the strategy
you go into a match with.

28
00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:13.980
For example, you can't be
married to an Ebony Maw

29
00:01:13.980 --> 00:01:15.960
and think that's going
to secure you the win

30
00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:19.110
since Killmonger can tear
that down at any moment.

31
00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:21.390
Especially since you
can't bring Ebony Maw out

32
00:01:21.390 --> 00:01:22.825
after turn three.

33
00:01:22.825 --> 00:01:25.560
(intense music plays)

34
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:28.440
Killmonger lets you disrupt
an opponent's strategy,

35
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:29.670
catching them off guard

36
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:31.431
and forcing them to think on their feet.

37
00:01:31.431 --> 00:01:35.700
(upbeat techno music plays)

38
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.710
As your collection level gets higher

39
00:01:37.710 --> 00:01:39.690
and you move into pools two and three,

40
00:01:39.690 --> 00:01:40.950
you're gonna go up against players

41
00:01:40.950 --> 00:01:42.900
with better cards like Killmonger.

42
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.750
Zoo decks, which use
lots of lower cost cards,

43
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.030
may have worked for you early on,

44
00:01:48.030 --> 00:01:50.220
but now can easily get hard counters.

45
00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:52.530
Killmonger's ability
to destroy 1 cost cards

46
00:01:52.530 --> 00:01:55.170
is just one reason why it's so important

47
00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:57.030
to move cards around in your decks,

48
00:01:57.030 --> 00:02:01.110
or create entirely new
combinations as often as possible.

49
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:02.400
He's a real game-changer

50
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.640
and a true introduction
into the pool two level

51
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:07.170
of play you'll be facing.

52
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:09.210
