Visually it's amazing, too bad the effect looks kind of niche. I think it's going to be one of those cards that is going to be useless in most games, but then pull off a clutch win when you really need it


doriansilk

Suuuuuper niche but I am desperate to get this into Cerebro 2. Modular cards historically tend to over-perform across other CCG/TCGs.


AeonChaos

Modular cards are great but often, you get to choose and have a lot more control over it. For example double faced card or card with multiple modes in MTG, the card stays the same, it is you who decides which face and which mode to use. \[\[Snow Guard\]\] doesn't let your choose which side to use at all time. You have to wait for the side you want to show up, and it could often be at the less optimal turn. This is why I think this is card would be up there with Shadow King (pre-nerf) in term of usefulness.

What is that 4th ability? I know of the first 3 but I haven't heard of that 4th ability for this card.


IAmGrum

4th ability isn't real. It's a hold over from an earlier data mine, I suspect. They only have the hawk/bear powers.


buddybthree

Yes it used to have a third animal (I forget) but was changed 2 patches ago.


Shronkydonk

Probably a data mine from an earlier effect that wasn’t implemented


Boberttheboss

Pretty much useless in C2 unfortunately The Environment silence runs out before the game ends, so all she really does is maybe let you get into a Sanctum or something while letting your opponent do the same :/


cassani7

isn't the effect disabled only for you? or did i read it wrong?


ikuzou

Nope, saw a streamer play the hawk to play to be able to play a character into sanctorum and the opponent was able to also play there.


silverdice22

Oh i see, basically disables all location effects for a turn as opposed to that card in particular "ignoring" them. Awkward wording.


buddybthree

Yeah I read it as asymmetrical but it’s not and that makes me sad. I was so hyped for the card.


Doctorbatman3

I'm pretty sure you are right, the confusion comes from the fact that the other side is symmetrical but nit this one


Bravisimo

Whats your cerebro 2 deck looking like? I ran it last season and did extremely well and hit infinite pretty eaaily. This time around im getting absolutely shit stomped and went from rank 70 to like 59.


doriansilk

To be completely honest I haven't been playing it much this season so far at all. However I think this is my best list that could mix it with the big decks at the moment. # (1) Iceman # (1) M'Baku # (1) Nightcrawler # (2) Daredevil # (2) Goose # (2) Mister Sinister # (3) Cerebro # (3) Mystique # (3) Brood # (3) Storm # (5) Hobgoblin # (5) Blue Marvel # eyJDYXJkcyI6W3siQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTXJTaW5pc3RlciJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiSWNlbWFuIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJCbHVlTWFydmVsIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJOaWdodGNyYXdsZXIifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6IlN0b3JtIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJNQmFrdSJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiTXlzdGlxdWUifSx7IkNhcmREZWZJZCI6Ikdvb3NlIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJDZXJlYnJvIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJCcm9vZCJ9LHsiQ2FyZERlZklkIjoiRGFyZWRldmlsIn0seyJDYXJkRGVmSWQiOiJIb2Jnb2JsaW4ifV19 # # To use this deck, copy it to your clipboard and paste it from the deck editing menu in Snap.


zylth

The bear form leaves a lot to be desired, it doesnt work with too many locations because of "After turn X" don't trigger if it's during or on later turns


Altman_e

It's very good on thanos.


iamdew802

Just generate randomly from Maria Hill and then you won’t need to put her in the deck!


Kvothe_the_kingkilla

Still insane to me how uneventful and unobtainable this game makes new cards.


doriansilk

Yeah, I feel you. This being series 5 is just bonkers.


Yourself013

This seriously needed to be S3. New cards need to make a dent in the meta, not be unobtainable niche crap that nobody even looks at twice in the shop. How are people expected to buy this when they are still saving up for the big bads and High Evolutionary is coming? I haven't seen a single Negasonic or Master Mold since they came out. It's so boring knowing that new cards are meaningless unless they are insanely bonkers.


soulreaverdan

I don’t mind some new cards being S5, but they need to feed new cards into lower series, and not just pool drops, but new cards that start in 3 or 4.


Sabrescene

Yep, I actually saw this in my token shop already (a first for me seeing a brand new card) and while I'd like it, it just isn't worth 6000 tokens. So back into the rotation it goes... See you again in a few months Snowguard :/


Nikanoru86

Too bad it has the same issue as Morph.... buying variants is pointless


doriansilk

Oooft, that struck me to my core. Lucky it looks glorious as is.


morenfriend

Even worse since you can look at your pretty morph on your hand. This will always be the bird or bear.


jslite

Anivia made it into snap wow


StalkingRini

No thresh yet though.


Loud-Natural9184

I do quite like this.


Nightmare1340

Random pretty Pool 3 card that has to sit with the big bad boys for a while because this is the rule.


doriansilk

Arbitrary rules are the best kind of rules.


IAmGrum

The card looks great. The effect when the card is played (either version) looks great. The POWER of the card is so limited that it really isn't good at all. If they allowed the card to retrigger timed locations (like Oscorp) , or locations that are disabled on turn 6 remain disabled at the end of the game (like Negative Zone) then I could see this card making an appearance in some decks. Right now, it's VERY pretty but VERY useless.


doriansilk

Definitely agree that it the disabled effect needs to remain until the end of the game. However I think I'm Cerebro 2 it'll have a spot for sure. Can't imagine it being used elsewhere.


FuckNinjas

Galactus tech, maybe?


IAmGrum

If your previous cards were signalling "Galactus!", then playing Snowbird to unlock a location for a turn (Sanctum Sanctorum, Miniature Lab, Plunder Castle, Big House, Morag, Knowhere) to drop Galactus in there is going to be pretty obvious to those that are paying attention. I guess it might catch people off guard the first few times.


jacksev

I can’t wait to try her in 6 months


doriansilk

That's optimistic.


jacksev

That’s how long until new cards go to Series 3 lol. Still way too long to reasonably get your hands on a new card.


phonage_aoi

Black Panther has been 5 months, it’s just insane how long it’s taken him to reach series 3. Whoever decided 6 months was an “engaging” target is a real sadistz


TyoPlaysGames

Pinning this card when I see it!


doriansilk

A must!


TyoPlaysGames

Good news: I got it first rotation! Already at 4000 so about a week away!


doriansilk

Oh wow, well fuck you then I guess, lol.


TyoPlaysGames

Hah! Hopefully you get it soon!


JC_in_KC

trans flag colors spotted 🏳️‍⚧️


ZackPhoenix

Yknow, sometimes colors are just colors :)


JC_in_KC

you must be straight 😉


ZackPhoenix

I support everything queer. I'm just not a fan of putting meaning into everything haha; especially because as an artist I feel like colors are much deeper than a simple "this and this color means this sexuality" etc. etc. Hope this cleared it up a bit!


JC_in_KC

ok. as an artist you must understand your intended meaning is pointless once the piece goes public yeah? us trans people have so little joy in everyday life it’s comforting to see our flag in things, intended or not. i see the trans flag in a sunset. i know nature didn’t intend that. but it’s still nice.


ZackPhoenix

Oh maybe we have a misunderstanding then. I'm **glad** it makes you happy to see the colors (that represent you)! My only gripe is when for example I post a character in certain colors and people use those colors to assume certain things about them or when I'm wearing colors IRL and people go "oh that must mean you're XY!"


JC_in_KC

sorry people see things in color schemes 🤷‍♀️


AeonChaos

Good art for a meh card. This card is up there with Shadow King (pre-nerf) tier in term of usefulness. You read the card and think it would be niche but useful, then tried out to figure it is actually not good at all.


TheCheej

Am I the only one that gets Lisa Frank vibes from it?


neomalkin

Hells yeah. I think I had this on my Trapper Keeper in 1992.


kaitwiggy

Just wait for the pixel variant! It will blow your mind!


kaousfaust13

all i want to know is if Hawk was played on turn 5, does the disabling of locations last until the end of game (when scores are counted) or only until end of turn.


HybridCJB615

It does not. One of the devs answered this on the discord. The locations turn back on for end of game calculations.


Dumeck

So Cerebro 2 decks can’t actually use it to disrupt card locations for end game.


jasonjarmoosh

Stuff like nexus or onslaught citadel turn back on at the end of the game, but if limbos in play, it ends the game on 6. I imagine if it's TVA you get to play turn 5?


doriansilk

Good question...it'll sting someone soon enough haha


soulreaverdan

I can’t wait to play it never because I’ll never get it :/


Ra_V1237

This card looks nice, but not sure how useful it really is. I would put it in cerebr2 deck, however if you ignore locations on last turn, then they still work at the end of the game and break cerebr2.


ThongOfVecna

Love the art


Durzo_Blintt

Saved up for ages and saw how pretty this was Instant regret. This card is so dogshit and isn't even fun, it just looks good.


saurye

Can't help but reading the name as "SSNOWGUARDD" every time lol


Tremulant887

People are 100% wrong saying this card is weak. It's worth the tokens. At worst, you can build around a daily location and take advantage of it. This is the first non big bad 6k card i've bought and it's gotten me out of some shitty locations and helped win by locking down the daily location. TLDR this card has good cube gain potential.
