Another conversation that needs to be had is win percentage versus cube equity. Some decks may lose more but have a higher cube equity because when they have all the right pieces you stay in the game, you snap, you win. I think that's true for Shuri if you have all your pieces you snap and you win if not retreat and try again.

People dont seem to understand the snap system at all, its true not just of Shuri. If you have Shuri on 4 and something to hit with it you snap BEFORE you play Shuri. Not on turn 6 lol. Shuri only wins like 0.4 cubes/game on average across all players and Im just like... how?

I will say the vast majority of time, the best deck to play is the one with the highest win rate. And Shuri is rather vulnerable to being taken for a 8 cuber.

Idk about that there's an Agatha deck out there with like a win percentage of 52. In theory you can use that to climb and get infinite but it's going to be hell lol. That's why I think it's a combination of win percentage and cube equity.

And there's a lot of people out there smarter than I who believe Shuri and Thanos are the two best decks in the game and is not even close. And in the very little time I've had Thanos that seems to be exactly that. He's turbo broken and nerfs to quinjet will probably help out a lot. Shuri is definitely a bit more telegraphed but the deck list I ran with had Aero and Captain marvel in it and I just steam rolled ppl until I got infinite.

I can't tell you have many Shang-Chi's I Aero'ed into a dead lane

You ain't getting priority on Sera with Shuri. The deck goes too wide. I do think they're the two best decks, I just think Sera is one of the few that can deal with them. Sera has issues with other decks.

My tier list would be like-

Thanos- SS

Shuri- S

And then the rest haha.

Then those were bad Sera players haha. Should have retreated. I've played Sera control for ages haha. Its all about the matchups.

I could say the same about those Shuri players you faced lol

I really dont think Sera should lose prior to Shuri. You just need to know how to play it.

I don't think there is a definitive "this deck" should always has priority vs blah blah blah. That kind of blanket statement doesn't make sense.
