I'd vote for Brad Lander on the basis of this video alone. I hope he has a job in the upcoming Mamdani administration. Those two are fantastic.

Do they not give out America Chavez anymore in #mcoc?
I just opened 23 Paragon crystals, 2 5-star nexus crystals, 3 6-star crystals, 2 Science-Mystic crystals, 4 6-six star Nexus crystals, 1 Exalted crystal, & a 7-star generic crystal.
Didn’t even see her in the rotating line of champions. 😭🤔🙄😵💫😭

I had the wildest #mcoc Battlegrounds match last night. The game froze on the ban champs screen. I waited but the red flashing icon popped up so I closed the game. When I reopened it, the match was still going! I got to choose 1 champ with seconds left and then had to fight. It was WILD.

Does anyone else save up all the units they earn over the year to use in December's #mcoc banquet?
I literally don't spend a unit. 😂 My goal is to earn 3,000 units a month and I'm up to 9,967 so far. I'm already dreaming of those banquet crystals...

An armor break immune node on Emma Frost? 🙄
About the same nonsense as adding an evade node on one of the thousand spider people champs in #mcoc.
It doesn't make me want to figure it out. It's just annoying. Pass.

If you give your cat a two-syllable 1st name, then you can perfectly replace "Thunder" with their name in the Thundercats theme song.
In our household this is sung regularly:
Buffy Cat is on the move! Buffy Cat is loose!
Feel the magic, hear the roar,
Buffy Cat is loose!
Buffy, Buffy, Buffy Cat!

I know it would be impossible to do, but I would love to see my competitors' fights in #mcoc Battlegrounds. So many INTERESTING choices I wouldn't expect.

I don't know man. The last week of #mcoc has been annoying. and not fun-figure-it-out annoying. more like these nodes are dumb and it feels like the designers are mistaking annoying for difficult.
Or maybe I need a break.

Autumn of Agony is wrecking me. I've never had such little success and lack of improvement in #mcoc before.

I know it's called autumn of agony. But, usually, after three days of trying, I get slightly better and make some progress. But this. 🧐

Paragon!
And I didn't chuck my phone once 😂 #mcoc
Could not have done it without the YouTube video by Marvel King Saitama using Hercules. I watched that thing a 100 times. And many thanks to MCOC Noob and MCOC Encyclopedia on YouTube who got me to 7.4.6.
I feel like I'm giving an Oscars speech.

Going for Paragon this weekend. 😬
Chucking my phone has been a crucial part of attaining uncollected, cavalier, and thronebreaker. So, good thing I bought a new heavy duty case. 😂

Ok, there are excellent #mcoc tier lists...
but what's your F(wB), M, K list?
Friends with Benefits: Let's have a mutually amazing night and call each other again in a few weeks.
Marry: Your ride or dies.
Kill: You're stupid and you're dead to me.
Here's mine (partial) 👇

I feel like I’m falling looking into it, and that I would fall forever, and that I would enjoy it.

So close to having the full Young Avengers team in #mcoc.
Also, I won't rank up anybody if I think their PI will end up putting them in between Wiccan and Hulkling. 😂 I added signature stones to Kate Bishop one at a time to make sure she wouldn't. Thankfully, still got max sigs and 4-star relic.

Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) has become a spectacular sight in the southern hemisphere, with observers comparing its beauty to Comet Hale-Bopp in 1997.
It is visible to the naked eye, and astrophotographers have captured remarkable images. 1/
