1
00:00:00.009 --> 00:00:01.890
(light music)

2
00:00:01.890 --> 00:00:03.000
- What's good, Kotaku?

3
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.400
I'm back for another Marvel Snap build.

4
00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:06.570
Some of my favorite decks

5
00:00:06.570 --> 00:00:08.520
are the ones that really
(beep) with your opponent.

6
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:11.550
It's just so satisfying
watching their plans fall apart

7
00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:14.220
as the match goes into
turn five and turn six.

8
00:00:14.220 --> 00:00:16.230
It's manipulative. Diabolical, even.

9
00:00:16.230 --> 00:00:18.330
A play style which
perfectly fits the brand

10
00:00:18.330 --> 00:00:21.960
of New York's biggest fatty,
Wilson Fisk, AKA Kingpin.

11
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:25.890
- That's why I'm the Kingpin. (laughs)

12
00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:26.970
- The general strategy

13
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:29.220
is to move your opponent's
cards all over the place

14
00:00:29.220 --> 00:00:30.390
so they can't set up a plan.

15
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.370
Then, stomp them back to Hell's Kitchen

16
00:00:32.370 --> 00:00:33.990
with Kingpin on turn six.

17
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:34.980
For your one-costs,

18
00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:37.770
we'll want Sunspot for
general coverage and Ant-Man.

19
00:00:37.770 --> 00:00:38.760
Where you place Ant-Man

20
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:41.310
should also be where you
eventually place Kingpin.

21
00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:42.960
Our only two-cost is Kraven.

22
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.480
He's another that you'll
want on Kingpin's location.

23
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:46.470
For three-costs,

24
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:49.590
we have Kingpin, Juggernaut,
Storm, and Polaris.

25
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:51.330
The Storm into Juggernaut combo

26
00:00:51.330 --> 00:00:54.270
is great for locking down
non-Kingpin locations,

27
00:00:54.270 --> 00:00:56.970
and Polaris serves as one
of your movement options

28
00:00:56.970 --> 00:00:57.960
on turn six.

29
00:00:57.960 --> 00:00:58.980
For four-costs,

30
00:00:58.980 --> 00:01:01.380
we're bringing in New York
natives Miles Morales,

31
00:01:01.380 --> 00:01:03.240
Jessica Jones, and Spider-Man.

32
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.890
All three will have huge roles

33
00:01:04.890 --> 00:01:07.260
in helping you win non-Kingpin locations.

34
00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:10.710
Finally, you have five-cost
Arrow and six-cost Magneto

35
00:01:10.710 --> 00:01:11.820
to round out the deck.

36
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:15.600
Both function as your turn six
play on wherever Kingpin is.

37
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.170
It's very, very important
to play Kingpin on turn five

38
00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:20.640
and turn five only.

39
00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:23.160
Any earlier and your opponent
will see your plan coming

40
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.210
from a mile away.

41
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:25.260
The only exception

42
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:27.750
is if you can play Spider-Man
on the same location

43
00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:28.800
the following turn.

44
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:29.820
Maybe Spider-Man

45
00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:32.340
has gotten over the whole
beaten-to-a-pulp thing.

46
00:01:32.340 --> 00:01:34.890
- I have waited for this for some time.

47
00:01:34.890 --> 00:01:37.410
- What do you have in
mind? A pie-eating contest?

48
00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:39.120
- Ideally, you'll end up with a location

49
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:41.460
that has Ant-Man, Kraven, Kingpin.

50
00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:44.970
Then on turn six, you play
Arrow, Polaris, or Magneto there.

51
00:01:44.970 --> 00:01:46.440
For winning a second location,

52
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:50.580
Storm, Jessica Jones, Miles,
and Spider-Man are crucial.

53
00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:53.640
Magneto is the MVP of this
deck since even post-nerf,

54
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:54.660
you're still seeing plenty

55
00:01:54.660 --> 00:01:56.610
of four and three-cost-centric decks

56
00:01:56.610 --> 00:01:58.380
running Zabu, Silver Surfer,

57
00:01:58.380 --> 00:02:00.570
and that bane of my existence, Patriot.

58
00:02:00.570 --> 00:02:04.470
Watching Fisk stomp their plans
into dust is just so evil.

59
00:02:04.470 --> 00:02:05.550
Maybe Fisk was right.

60
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:08.220
Some things just need to be stepped on.

61
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:10.620
- Kingpin always holds the trump card.

62
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:12.360
- So go build this deck, shave your head,

63
00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:13.320
put on a white suit

64
00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:15.480
and a fresh-ass cane to complete the fit.

65
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:18.453
