00:00:00.140 --> 00:00:02.130
(light music)

2
00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:03.510
- What's good, Kotaku?

3
00:00:03.510 --> 00:00:05.910
Marvel Snap is all about experimentation.

4
00:00:05.910 --> 00:00:06.750
In that spirit,

5
00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:10.350
we are turning to one of
Marvel's OG mad scientists,

6
00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:11.340
Arnim Zola.

7
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:14.430
The Nazi biochemist
turned AI supercomputer

8
00:00:14.430 --> 00:00:17.190
features heavily in my Big Kitty deck.

9
00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:18.180
Best part about it,

10
00:00:18.180 --> 00:00:19.576
we really only need two,

11
00:00:19.576 --> 00:00:22.470
maybe three cards for a win condition.

12
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:25.410
Big Kitty revolves around
Black Panther and Arnim Zola.

13
00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:27.720
If you're lucky, you
can add Wong to that duo

14
00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:29.700
to have a truly unstoppable team.

15
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:30.690
The general strategy

16
00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:33.870
is to commit two lanes
for turns one to four.

17
00:00:33.870 --> 00:00:35.880
The low costs can vary in this deck,

18
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:38.790
but I run Sunspot, Iceman, Psylocke,

19
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:41.250
Ironheart, Wolfsbane, and Storm.

20
00:00:41.250 --> 00:00:42.270
In an ideal game,

21
00:00:42.270 --> 00:00:43.980
you storm a location on turn three

22
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:45.420
and intentionally lose it.

23
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:47.970
Hopefully, your opponent
takes the bait and snaps.

24
00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:50.100
It'll all make sense in
a bit. Just trust me.

25
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.180
Here's where it gets fun.

26
00:00:51.180 --> 00:00:52.110
On turn five,

27
00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:54.720
you'll want to play Black
Panther on the empty location.

28
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.040
Then on turn six,

29
00:00:56.040 --> 00:00:58.260
you play Arnim Zola on the same location,

30
00:00:58.260 --> 00:01:01.890
adding a 16-power Black Panther
to your other two locations.

31
00:01:01.890 --> 00:01:02.723
All the better

32
00:01:02.723 --> 00:01:05.340
if you can play Wong on the
empty location in turn four

33
00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:06.750
and get even bigger numbers

34
00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:08.340
when you eventually bring out Zola.

35
00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:11.520
If you draw all three of
Wong, Black Panther and Zola,

36
00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:13.080
you've basically already won.

37
00:01:13.080 --> 00:01:15.300
Cosmo and Shang-Chi can be a problem,

38
00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:16.680
but since we're leading our opponent

39
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:18.420
into thinking that they
have the upper hand

40
00:01:18.420 --> 00:01:19.350
the entire match,

41
00:01:19.350 --> 00:01:21.210
you'll rarely see them play that counter.

42
00:01:21.210 --> 00:01:22.980
It's truly devious.

43
00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:23.880
To round out the deck,

44
00:01:23.880 --> 00:01:26.220
you can get creative with
the five and six costs.

45
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:28.440
White Tiger, Doctor Doom, and Odin

46
00:01:28.440 --> 00:01:31.800
all have nice synergy with the
Black Panther and Wong combo.

47
00:01:31.800 --> 00:01:34.770
So, all hope isn't lost
if you can't pull Zola.

48
00:01:34.770 --> 00:01:36.870
When you get the right
pulls and locations,

49
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:38.730
this deck does not miss.

50
00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:40.770
You'll especially feel
like an evil supercomputer

51
00:01:40.770 --> 00:01:43.530
if you're lucky enough to
get a bar with no name, too.

52
00:01:43.530 --> 00:01:45.600
Now go out there and win some cubes.

53
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:47.250
What do you think of the Arnim Zola deck?

00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:48.900
