ARISHEM
The last of mighty Eternal month up is the big boy Celestial Arishem. A card I think many want to try just to infuse something different in the game. He was very big in the movie. Ha. This is the first time I have seen two accompanying cards in the spotlight demand reworks.

JUL 2nd-09th as this month flies.

Again I warn not to go beyond 1-KEY as I always advice you should be stacking you keys to a minimum of 3-4 or higher. It is wise to let things settle before rushing in. This tread is to have a civil discussion on the cards.

ARISHEM- I think the Eternals were hit and miss, and counted a lot on RNG, Thena clearly the winner. This also could have arguably been the Battle Pass card and the Direct X mechanic could be both awesome and problematic. To me I see clear similarities with Loki's mechanic. This card will also get help with what is coming. The argument of adding such a random influx of cards into your deck could hurt on curve, synergy, and a direct plan of locking down two lanes maybe the wrong way to look at this card. We can see why certain cards like Phastos and Sersi were created to take advantage if you have them to this card. Where you could flood a lane with conditional cards to have Sersi power you to a lane or Phastos reducing energy and increasing power with an early play. Cards like Quin-jet, Collector, even Thena can have some fun synergies and skies the limit on both ends. Board space will be crucial and your opposition will try and flood lanes to limit your effectiveness. Should be an interesting week to be sure. Arishem was probably the one thing on screen that was done in an outstanding manner, we will see if he has the same impact in Snap.

Always subject to change, but if it stays as is.

BLACK SWAN - Sometimes you come up with ideas in development where you think. Hey let's give 1-costs a free turn and then realize due to board space, rng draw, and that you may not have the right 1-costs or protect them killed Black Swan's prevalence. Made to make Thanos better, she actually simply put, is not necessary and their messing up the gems that made Thanos a strong Meta deck construct to hard work, made her even less prevalent. She simply doesn't fit many other archetypes. She is right behind Hercules as she is dead on arrival at 265 rank, 48.9% win rate, and terrible cube share. I have no idea what they do to Black Swan. Even at a 3/6 will make little difference. Her mechanic is simply non existent to deck constructs. Plenty of other cards that accomplish her irrelevant ability on curve. She needs a complete rework. Francesco Tomaseli gives you a sick new variant.


HERCULES- Unless there is a change or buff coming to Hercules. Not the card you should target in the spotlight cache. I did a tread on how MOVE could improve overall, and he is dying for a change. He is near dead last in the Meta with a 49.7% win/rate and negative cube share. Ranked at 267. Here is the thing, if he is not even being utilized in his own archetype it tells you all you need to know. Its not his stat-line, its simply his bad ability. This card needs an Enema as the Joker once said. If you get him don't fret, he could get one. OTA: Called it, but I still don't like his ability, but at 3/4. He may see more play. A new variant by Jay Anaciento.


It is Arishem or bust. Unless buffs or reworks are coming you don't want to hit the other two cards here. If you don't have any, may find some short fun with Hercules and Swan, but you will just be as aggravated as everyone else with those two. You want Arishem on key 1. Always wise to take a wait and see approach to any spotlight. You guys do you.

Have a great week my comrades. Enjoy your Snapping. Happy Discussion. Cheers
