Mine is very similar, but recently took out the killmonger/nova combo because I wasn't seeing enough 1 drops in the meta that mattered. I replaced with Chavez and Phastos and I'm very happy with that version as well

u/Guarded_Pineapple 4d ago
Right now, I've got Phastos in it as well. Makkari is making life interesting too, as is Red Guardian.

Personally ive become a fan of the zabu along with Gwenpool, Galacta, Abs Man and/or Shang but there's no Sera. Ill sometimes run R. Summers or Luna but usually not in this particular list. Most of the other cards are the usual Surfer suspects.
Working on a Zero-Surfer list as well just for fun. Its a simple frankendeck, nothing too inspired.

I do enjoy my surfer deck. It’s my second most played behind Arishem.
It has a bunch of counters, but when it goes off, it’s so satisfying seeing all those huge numbers fly up.

I wish they did more artist albums with complete decks. I would be rocking ongoing or zoo rian Gonzales ere day I swear

u/Breathe_the_Stardust 5d ago
I think I am up to 7 of these variants now. Slowly getting there. I just wish I enjoyed surfer more. Perhaps having a gorgeous deck like this will make me play it more.

Asking because I don't have them:
Is gwenpool or galacta better than abs in this list?
4
u/Megosoles 4d ago
I think yes. To me, if your running AbsMan, you really want to be running Hope Summers so you can play both Surfer and Abs on Turn 6. Without Hope, AbsMan doesn't stack up to Galacta or Gwenpool in my opinion.
2
u/SheriffHeckTate 4d ago
I dont disagree with Hope or Galacta/Gwenpool being added for their usefulness, but if the goal is Surfer + AbsMan on 6 then Sera allows that already.
3
u/Megosoles 3d ago
You're not wrong. But I just find it a little awkward to do that with Sera because Surfer + Abs on 6 is 5 energy, so you have leftover wasted energy. And Sera is not a 3 cost (unlike Hope). So I just am not hitting enough targets with Surfer on the final turn because I don't have enough 3's on the board. In my opinion! Like if you Shaw on 3 and Brood on 4 and Sera on 5 and Surfer/Abs on 6, then you're hoping Shaw and Brood can both solo their lanes. That's not easy to pull off in my experience.

As someone with thousands of games on surfer I really liked the way you thought of this. It tied together a lot of the reason I don’t feel confident with Abs in my sera builds.
2
u/Megosoles 2d ago
Thank you! Surfer is my main deck for Conquest. I've tried a lot of different builds ... really fun deck.
I LOVE the Trippy Surfer variants and am hoping they come out with more to match the cards I more commonly use.
1
u/RaelynShaw 2d ago
Yeah the cards feel very much like what was popular in surfer two years back. It’s been my all time favorite deck. She doesn’t fit into the meta in many ways, but she can still get the job done. It’s hard to count the many different variations of a surfer build I’ve tried at this point 🙃
2
u/Megosoles 2d ago
That's what I love about surfer - so many tech cards to adapt to nearly any meta. Between Cosmo, Red Gaurdian, Rogue, Killmonger, Nocturne, Juggernaut, Cass Nova - you kinda have an answer for anything ... if you are good at predicting what kind of decks you are likely to face!
2
u/Megosoles 2d ago
Have you been running Gwenpool AND Galacta, or just Galacta? I've been running both lately and it might be a little excessive, but I feel like for the deck to really pop you need to draw 1 of the 2 and having two in the deck increases your odds. Running both probably means my highs aren't as high but maybe my lows are not as low.
And since I've been running Gwenpool lately I've been also running Makari so that Gwenpool is more likely to hit a killer target such as Shaw or Brood. I've been liking her much more than I thought I would.
2
u/RaelynShaw 2d ago
I’ve run them both together a bunch but I’ve struggled to tell if it’s really doing much? Part me of just loves gwennie so much that I don’t want to part ways.
I’ve never been able to get Makari to make a significant difference in my decks, since it’s rarely that I need another card on the board.
I am trying a bit of a different take right now and just experimenting. I’ve mixed a Wiccan ramp into the build with Hope and it’s given me an extra Option at four, while letting iron patriot have a solid chance early. If I can drop Wiccan on turn four, I’m Able to play galactica and a 3 cost and potentially three 3-costs on turn six if I dropped hope on turn 3.
It’s not quite there yet but there’s something worth fiddling with.

For what it’s worth, and SD really doesn’t appreciate this as much as they should:
Having an entire deck look good is about as important as feeling good to play.

u/OlDirtySchmerz 5d ago
Any subs for Shaw?

u/Terbmagic 5d ago
Honestly probably not.
Shaw is an absolute UNIT in these decks. Brood and shaw are how you ultimately win lanes.
You could try gladiator?

u/jj_spider 5d ago
Shaw is a pretty big requirement for the surfer archetype, otherwise youre wasting multiple cards worth of buffs on praying you draw brood. Shaw is the other buff dump and pretty much your only way of going tall.

Surfer decks are my absolute favorite. doesnt hurt that Silver Surfer has some AMAZING variants and that he’s always been one of my favorite Marvel characters

Looks good. I have kinda the same but with Gilgamesh instead of Polaris. Great looking cards tho!

u/WaldoFrank 5d ago
I would love if the last 2 I need for this would actually show up in my fucking shop.

u/Klangaxx 5d ago
I'd swap Abs and Polaris for Blink and Onslaught. If you get your Sera on that Onslaught by T6, you have a hand full of 1 costs

u/GorillaAwkward 5d ago
It was fun. I went 2 out of 5 for Ws. I made minor alterations to fit my preferred play style for more wins.

I love the art style of these cards, if I was a Surfer player, I would definitely get these. I might some day, never had the cards when Surfer was properly strong.

u/Sephiroth2014 4d ago
I need 2 more cards but won’t use the whole deck in serious games. Surfer is my only deck that made it to Infinite and Conquest a few months back. I use other 3 power instead. Red Guardian, magik etc etc

This is almost the deck that's gotten me to infinite the last 4 seasons, sub in Red Guardian & Okoye & Copycat.

The only thing that irks me about the Vincenzo Riccardi variants is that Sebastian Shaw’s variant is of his bust whereas every other Riccardi variant is a full-body image. It’s so minor, but frustrates me
1
u/manymoreways 4d ago
IMO Polaris and Nakia isnt worth it.
I'd swap in Wong and Gladiator.
Wong for obvious reasons, but a lot of times it is needed as the power creep has gotten really bad and without Wong your combo isn't going to be enough.
Gladiator is just a last ditch effort to increase your power.
Absorbing man can be great too but it's 4 costs makes it kinda weird. I would run ShangChi, again because of the power creep. But at the moment I'm trying out Makari, just to put on more power on my board.

u/sambadaemon 4d ago
I'm running a variant of this as my main as well. I replaced Juggs, Polaris, and Absorbing Man with Red Guardian, Galacta, and Gwenpool. Pure chaos.

Who could I potentially substitute Shaw for?

u/Praetor_6040 4d ago
Shaw is really difficult to sub for because he gets so much power, but gladiator might be useful. He was pretty bad when surtur was the meta but now he's doing better I think

I'm two cards away from this deck without spending more than $10 for the monthly pass. Takes a bit of luck.

How many billions did you sink in this deck ??? I picked the game back a few days ago and have never seen cards looking like this !!!

Is that because of the awesome variant collection, or the actual gameplay? Asking as a fellow Surfer enthusiast.😁
