I told myself I wouldn’t make much Marvel Snap material on my blog as I get the same icky feeling as when I throw recycling away in the garbage and think of the future world I’ve contributed to.. but I’ve tailored my stance to say, you know what, this game is really fun ANDDDD also has concerning predatory business practices and comes from a problematic company. So as long as I complain about the ethics involved in supporting this company to the top of anything I mention them in, I’ll feel better about myself.. am I karma- neutral?
Anyway! I still like this game a lot and recently made a friend a tier list for deciding which Marvel Snap cards are the best and worst so he could plan his in-game card acquisition order because if you screw that up you’re very disadvantaged (oh hey did I mention the in-game economy is poop?). And while doing that I thought oh hey, it would a fun little exercise here to go ahead and rank all 230 cards currently made and counting by the week, ranked by on the most fickle element of all: my vibes.
Speaking of fickle, half of this list could be radically different in a couple months as the game likes to tweak the balance of their game all the time (great for freshness, bad for attachment or feeling of investment of any kind whatsoever).
One of my favorite cards is a helmet
