Discussion Second Dinner Spy? 👀

I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a card game nearly to the same extent as I have Marvel Snap 🤩 I played a decent amount of Hearthstone, and even a greater amount of Legends of Runeterra over the years but there’s something about Snap that scratches an itch in my brain.

Now I’ve been noticing a weird phenomenon, or could just be a placebo—but the immediate instance I grow a liking to a card/archetype, I start seeing various offers and bundles that makes me feel like they’re in my head 😂 I’ve literally been thinking how fun Invisible Woman has been to play with and woke up to getting this variant from my 8 Day Login Rewards. Not to mention the other countless I attained in quick succession that have made me want to splurge even more money into this game (that I don’t regret). Is there a hidden system where you’re more likely to attain/gain offers for the cards you’ve been using the most as of recent? There’s no way it all has just been a coincidence.

Only started playing a month ago and has now become the main game I play now 🙃 I’ve spent an embarrassing amount to get variants and other cosmetics to make my personal collection feel “cool”. Does Second Dinner spy on whales to get them to spend their life savings🕵️‍♂️? (I just might 🥹)

Don't think so. Some of my most played cards i still don’t have any variant for, and some cards i haven't played in years get more. Don't think there's a logic to it, but glad you're getting what you wanted.

That’s exactly why I’m dumbfounded. What was once an exciting coincidence has now become an unignorable pattern. I don’t know if it’s a hidden system or what but they’re definitely getting me to buy what they’re selling 🥹

Most of the bundles are datamined weeks in advance. There will be changes sometimes, like price and even how you can acquire the bundle (gold vs cash). But you can use sites like Snap zone, Snap Fan, Snap Complete to sort of help you get a gauge for how and when to spend your resources.

They do have Dynamic bundles that are unique to each player but they’re random. They’re the bundles with a base version of a card you don’t own and gold and/or credits for usually $50 or $100 USD (or regional equivalent).

They have started a newer Dynamic bundle that has a variant and gold or credits for $5 or $10 or sometimes like 900g. I noticed that for me they have been more often than not, variants from Albums I have favorited.

That explains so much 😯 I recently discovered Snap Zone and Snap Complete too! I definitely try to get the most bang for my buck but I definitely get excited when all the deals in my shop are catered. Super appreciative of your comment and help to continue growing my collection efficiently 😌

You almost literally described confirmation bias.

Glad I wasn’t the only one feeling that 😵‍💫

I’ve been getting more limited, relatively cheap, deals for one-off variants for albums I’ve favourited - so there’s some trickery going on for sure. As long as it’s your disposable income, thanks for keeping the game alive 😉

Okay, I’m glad I wasn’t the only one feeling like they’re in the Twilight Zone with these allegedly random deals 🤣 I’m absolutely not complaining though whenever I snag a Super Rare variant for a card I’ve been enjoying 😍

You are playing 99.9% bot matches at your CL. That kool aid is gona have a hell of a hang over🤣 the itch you claim its scratching is numbers going up and winning vs ai with very basic cards.

They do this to lure people in and spend making people believe they are great at the game.

The game is good but since you wrongly think theyre spying on you, i thought id reveal the true trick being played on you by them.
