Dude, one of the best Marvel SNAP videos I've seen. Was awesome to see someone on his level of card games figure it out so quick.

I love that Brian caught on to the cooler looking split = more played card and that KM had to start slipping in other variants LOL. Great video KM, loved it!

It's crazy how accurate he was on some of these. Practically described the discard deck's last two turns of the game perfectly without seeing a single other card other than MODOK

Awesome video! I rarely get to see a great player go through the initial learning process like this. It's a real treat. Welcome to the game, Brian.

Damn, Brian seems like a great dude. I've never played Magic so I don't know much about him or the game but he seems like a pleasure to speak to and the CCG knowledge definitely shone through his words.

You STARTED with Werewolf By Night??? Yeesh, threw that poor guy in the deep end. 😅😅

A little more context to Kang is that the whole community did think Kang was gonna be game breaking and damn good. So his initial guess wasn’t different from the snap community’s

Rarran really started a wave 😂 nice to see you continue it I love these type of videos

Super fun video. As a long time MTG player, it was fun to see BBD translate some of the MTG heuristics to Snap

in a 12 card deck where you only have 1 copy of any given card, Ironlad is a second copy of any one of those cards. Bonkers powerful

Oh hells yeah! I absolutely love this style of video, please keep doing these with different card game players. For Pokemon you should get AzulGG, hes the top NA player

KM I really enjoy that you struggled to keep a poker face throughout this stream when I was watching. lol

So cool that you got Northernlion to collab

I can’t believe this was over an hour, I would have watched Brian rate cards for longer. I hope he’s checking the comments and seeing the love he’s getting.

What’s great about this video is that it’s giving us a lot of new perspective. With the current meta and so many OTAs, often times we are bottled into thinking too much about the meta cards.

its amazing how immediately he clocked in on why loki broke the game even faster than some snap players god its also amazing how he was spot on about how people thought about legion before they actually used the card. insanely smart dude AND CALLING OUT THANOS! GOD DAMN

That was a refreshing piece of content, thank you for that!

I have seen this style of video before, but this is the best one that I have ever seen for any card game!

Amazing video. Love BBD and both his analysis and your insight on why cards actually were good or bad were amazing. What a treat of a video.

Overall really solid analysis. A few missteps, but they were often the same mistakes that long-time Snap players made before cards came out, such as my boy David Haller aka Legion.

This was really fun to watch. When I saw the video is more then an hour long, I thought - "what was KM thinking", but near the end of it I couldn't believe its almost over.

Definitely one of the best marvel snap videos I've ever had the pleasure to watch! Was very fun, probably also informative for beginners and ofc I watched it till the end! I'd like more videos like this :)

I remember seeing Kawa do this a couple times with a Hearthstone pro, and this was equally cool to see.

came to this video after the algo showed me the other pro magic one you did. i LOVE them, please do more like this if you can find great people who havent played snap

FIRE VIDEO. First ever comment on youtube after 15 years just cause of how much I liked this. BBD was always one of my favorite MTG content creators, especially his SCG articles around 2016-2018. So much good sh** I can't even get into all the complement I want to give. That read on Thanos + Loki interaction was insane by BBD. Most impressive card review of this sort on YT by far. Respect to a legendary player.

I love videos like this. Surprised we haven’t gotten more of them from the Snap community.

I didn't even notice how fast an hour went by! This was an absolutely amazing video and I watched every last second of it. BBD honestly looks like a very cool and fun guy! His takes were so good too! No wonder he is a world champion! His CCG knowledge was definitely showing through here. Great video KM, I REALLY enjoyed this. Thanks! Have a Great Day/Night!

No way, I love the guy! I listened to their podcast every week when I played MTGA a couple years back. (I was following you too btw.) I'm only halfway through, but I had to comment! : )

Started that man on one of the most involved cards lol. Ease em in 😅

Of course I made it to the end haha this was great content. So interesting watching someone not familiar. His argument for quake lowkey had me consider playing around with her haha. Shutting of a citadel, or deaths domain could be good, especially in conquest. Also finding out your passion for football made you rank higher on my creators list loll Go Browns!!

This was great. Gives me insight on how to evaluate cards.

Nice to see BBD, not been deep into MTG for a while but I used to read some of his articles and enjoy watching him play at events.

I came in with low expectations for a video like this but was blown away by how interesting this was.

The most likely reason that the Time Stone is formatted differently is that it is a specific sequence that none of the other stones follow. They all do an effect and draw a card, but the time stone does not do an effect now, it does it later. What you DO do now is draw a card. So the sequence becomes, Draw a card. Next turn, you get +1 energy.

It ultimately doesn't matter too much, bc Kang overall is not widely usable, but Alex Coccia really showed how powerful that effect *can* be in the right deck, kinda wish you coulda covered that a bit

First time watching your non podcast stuff, really enjoyed this! Was really expecting the card after Kang to be Daredevil lol

More videos like this please! It was so fun it didn't even feel like an hour!

Hey, I recently watched your ___ Rates Marvel SNAP Cards series, I really enjoy it, keep up the good work. I don't play SNAP but it was actually interesting to watch. I hope you do more of this content.

Huge brian fan. This is great.

What a quality video! This is so enjoyable and informative to watch, a completely other aspect of Marvel Snap video’s. 10/10 content my guy

BBD and KMB is the crossover I never knew I needed

I am surprised about how interesting and insightful this video was. It delves deep into theory and mechanics in a lighthearted way that I didn't expect to learn that much from.

I love this format in other card games. Please do more of them! BBD was a great choice, blast from the past. I think breaking down what stats should be for cost is a great call if you want to let a card gamer leverage their experience and I'm really glad you did that here.

Wow, you're actually a MTG player as well, didn't know that, really enjoyed the video, keep it up man!

Really great video, KM! I love to hear game theory discussions and learned a lot about the Snap cards discussed during this convo. Well done.

This is such a cool video, pure joy. Thank you!

Doing werewolf as the first card without explaining half the rules was tough. Didnt even know the deck size requirements or what on reveal was.

KM I am impressed by your mtg / general card game knowledge. Lots of great analogies in this. This is probably one of my favorite vids from you!

I was wondering when Snap would join the “expert in another game evaluates this game’s cards” trend. This did not disappoint. That said I thought I’d have a lot of quibbles with the “correct” evaluation after the first couple. Werewolf is very good but part of that comes with its relative newness to the game and the meta not having really adjusted to it. And while Vulture is decidely less good, I wouldn’t really call it a bad card as such. It still regularly appears in decks focused on moving cards as a strategy.

This was so fun to watch, would love to see more

Yoooo I haven't seen Brian Braun-Duin since old SCG days. This was an awesome video! Thanks for this!

Quake is also affected by the fact that on turn 2, you dont know what the third location is yet.

Give me the good ole’ days of Magic with static orb/opposition and a merfolk blitz *shakes fist in air while yelling at cloud*

I think it would have been interesting for him to play some games afterward. Great content!

Been enjoying some BBD since the scg Vs series, always been a cool guy, wicked video!!

This was a fascinating video! Really enjoyed the different perspective and analysis. I also enjoyed the format but you definitely need to hide your good variants in the future!

Good video. Would love a behind the scenes on videos like these. I like watching ya talk shot with knowledgeable tcg folks But really good video. Make it a series

Absolutely loved the video! I would love to see you do more videos like this either with Brian or other people

It's not terribly surprising to see BBD do well on this, seeing as he's been world class at several card games, not just MtG. That said, he pretty much just crushed it

Love the vid so cool seeing the tcg intuition at work. It would be really fun to have him watch you play and go through the thought process and interaction, kind of like a "KM introduces and tutors the future best in snap"

I didn’t think I was going to watch an hour long video about someone guessing snap cards.. but here I am at the end of it all.

51:16 the fist pump from KM here psychically played Star Lord's "got 'em" in my head. 😅

Lol, you're happy both when he's wrong and when he's right

man this was amazing, very cool to see his thought process on the cards

52:40 another thing for quake is that locations are typically common and low impact so shuffling them most often does nothing.

I'm a Quake believer now

So i don't have Kang, but i've always wondered if he enabled another card draw if you drew him on the turn you play him. What i see is a Chavez without the power, but ability to foresight the opponents gameplan. And after you've seen it, you effectively draw a new card, which in turn can win you the game, potentially? Ill have to play with him myself to debunk my theory, but we will see!

This was a fun "not meta" related video to listen to. I respect people who have that knack of picking up games and their mechanics so quickly and intuitively figuring out best/worst things in them.

Love this video so much! Incredibly interesting.

Mans got me wanting to play quake. Genius.

This was one of the most enjoyable snap videos I’ve seen. Thanks for putting this together. Your content is great. Also I just realised chavez cost and power is 6-9 like your rank 69 hahaha

I put Quicksilver in my decks where most of the other cards are high-cost, to prevent me from missing a T1 drop. "Why not just balance your deck better?" you may ask. And the answer is: because that deck is used only to quickly complete missions that require a bunch of 4, 5, or 6 drops to be played, without caring about winning 😂 It's Quicksilver, Domino, Magik, and the rest of the cards are "whatever cost I need for the current mission".

This was SO fun, what a great idea. Well done!

This is so good! I'd love to see another one.

The order that you presented the cards was perfect. Let him learn what is good in the game as the questions continue and by the end his predictions were very accurate.

The Adam Warlock change I want to see is him becoming a 2/1 with the effect "On Turns 3 & 4, Draw A Card If You Are Winning Here".

And yet that's exactly what they did with the recent change to Quake lol Her effect is no longer optional.

This was an awesome video. Great job guys!

Jeff is the one card I regret not buying but can't make myself as f2p buy because of new stuff coming out.

I never thought about it like that, but I definitely remember Quicksilver "teaching" me that lesson. I got to a point early in my time with the game where I was like, "oh it's actually okay to not play a card on every turn".

Big ups bbd, used to love versus back in the cvm days and beyond😍

I think one thing to add for Modok is that Snap is more like Hearthstone in the fact that there's no interface to choose a card you wish to discard. MtG lets you choose cards by default, adding "at random" if it's random. Snap is the opposite, where it's random by default and more targetted if that's on the card effect. Modok, however, is never random because it's your entire hand.

I feel like this would have been better if he could have seen a basic game with base cards to understand how the turns work and priority. He clearly was trying to understand how the game fundamentally worked with turns as it isn't like magic as it is priority-based. Otherwise great video.

Quake is so strange because logically, she should at least be just okay, if not great, it just never seems to work out that way....

Tarmagoyf reference in regards to werewolf, holy shit that's so perfect

The man straight up explained the context and game around the cards just by guessing at it. He doesn't even need to play SNAP he already beat the game.

Haven’t even watched the video yet but this is an amazing video idea

Good video, I’m still at about 50 mins into the video but wanted to comment that what I think makes Legion so busted is the fact that there are cards (Storm and Magik) that create a specific location that you can either multiply or shut off with Legion which is how I see him used most, to cheat out win conditions.

Subscribed because content like this is amazing and different!

This was entertaining bro!

amazing idea for a video boss

Your face expressions gave away all information when dude tried to guess.

Wow. What a video. Nice idea man! Keep the good work! Best regards from Brazil

That was a super interesting video! Thanks for the awesome content

I always thought adam warlock could be something like "while winning two locations draw a card" or something like that

Auto sub after watchin this video. Very interesting to know the POV of someone not playing the game and it was very entertaining too. Great idea you had there. Please keep coming with new ways to analyse this game. Good work sir.

What a fun idea! Great seeing BBD on the channel.

What would be interesting is if you had the balls to use the cards that the magic player thought were good and trying to see if players just had the wrong philosophy regarding the card, like them saying Quake has a powerful effect. Maybe she does and just no one has been using her right, I'm sure if you tried some janky Lockout combos with Storm, you could trick your opponent into dumping thinking they can take the location and them get it somewhere else. And after that if the card is still bad you should be able to understand why the card is bad and where it needs improvement. And again like you said with Quake, you don't want to snap on Quake because it's unreliable, then how difficult would it be for the player to play Quake to manually move the locations, would that be too strong. Maybe, but it certainly makes her a better card to run with if you can take advantage of that effect.

great vid; would be cool next time to do more ongoing and control stuff
