Best Cards in Marvel SNAP (Tier List/Ranking) – Pool 1-3, Series 4 & 5

On the first view, Kang might look like a more expensive Daredevil but there's a lot more to this card. Daredevil, first of all, is very obvious to your opponent so they might try to avoid making any crucial play on Turn 5. Another thing is that you only see your opponent's play on Turn 5. With Kang, however, you can drop him on Turn 5 OR Turn 6 so you can also see what your opponent does on the last turn to see what your opponent's win condition is. Yes, your opponent will be able to repeat his turn paly, too, so you can't be sure if he will do the same but you get a pretty good idea what they are up to..

Splits your total power and spreadys it along all locations so your goal here is to generate a lot of power in one location to then be able to spread it on Turn 6 and compete for all locations at the same time.

.

Yes and no at the same time - some players dislike that she can be a little rng and if she spawns 1-cost cards that can turn against you (e.g. Ebony Maw so you accidentally lock down a location or a Titania that will benefit your opponent in the worst case), she can be frustrating to play. But in most cases she gets you great value on the board and with the extra reach in control archetypes, she can perform quite well..

Agatha Harkness will take over when she is in your hand and play for you - and you will find some weird plays with her..

Although Black Bolt has a discard effect, it only affects your opponent. With 5 energy also quite a late card to discard the cheapest card in your opponent's hand.

With 3 energy and 7 power a pretty nice card to play - if you don't play her she will discard herself by the end of the turn..

Black Widow will put her Widow's Bite into your opponents hand and they can't draw a card until they play it - and as it costs 0 energy they will effectively skip one draw and you can interrupt a lot of decks that create additional cards like Sentinel, Master Mold, etc..

Will double his power each time he get destroyed and spawn back in your hand..

With Gambit you can snipe away enemy cards by discarding decks from your hand, so combined with own cards that benefit from discarding this can turn into a great card. Also mind, you can still destroy your opponent's cards even when you have no more cards to discard.

Ghost can be probbly the strongest 1-cost card out there as being guarantueed to always flip your cars sencond gives a lot reliability to many decks and cards and I have below a ton of great synergies to use..

Giganto brings power for the last turn with the limitation that you can only play him in the left lane (unless you overcome that with another ability).

As Goose blocks all higher-energy cards from being played at the same location, you can use Goose either to take it with low-cost high-power cards or you can also use it to protect a card (more on that below).

Hazmat debuffs all cards and make them 1 power weaker, yours and your opponents' cards. If you combine it with blocking cards on your side, it can take away up to 12 power from your opponent in total.

With Hellcow you can discard two cards from your hand and get decent power on the board, too. It's a very good discard archetype card that all discard decks can get a lot of value off..

Human Torch is a great freeloader card to run in any move deck - he only costs 1 energy and each time he moves he doubles his power (similar to Deadpool when destroyed) and this can multiply a lot. If you move him 3 times you get a 8-power card, when increasing his power in betweem even 16 power or more. Has the potential to scale a lot and as always in motion hard to counter for your opponent as long as there's no Killmonger around..

Invisible Woman delays cards flipping until after Turn 6, so you can hide what you're up to or protect cards.

Kingpin destroys all cards that get moved to his location (yours and the ones of your opponent) on Turn 6, and only on Turn 6. So, you can use him along with cards that move your opponents cards to simply destroy plenty of power at the end.

Luke Cage is a card that you play along cards that have negative self effects that reduce their power - or cards that decrease all cards power (yours and your opponents). Tarditionally a card for a disruption deck..

Although M'Baku appears as kind-of a cheap Captain Marvel, he will only jump to a random location and has only 2 power so don#t expect any miracles from him..

Magik can be used to extend the game for a Turn 7 that get appended. Please mind, this changes the lcoation so there's the chance your opponent might use Scarlet Witch or Storm to nullify Magik. The extra turn will let you play another high-cost card so you need a deck with enough power to mitigate that you basically didn't do. uch on Turn 5 by playing Magik when it comes to synergy or power on the board. Also, she can be used to get rid of a location effect that you don't like..

Will add a random 1-cost card to your deck so she's clearly a card to play along handsize decks as there are plenty of 1-cost cards you don't want to see. Sometimes you get lucky, though. You can also play her later to scale up Devil Dinosaur..

Miles Morales is a 5-power card without anything special but only that triggering any move effect let you play the card next turn for 1 energy.

Mojo can scale up if you play him in a location where your opponetn also has four cards, but that happesn frequently enough and the 6 additional power for this card that costs 2 energy is really great without any downside.

.

Mysterio will play clones in each location and your opponent will not see which one's the real one until the match ends. You can use him well to disguise your real power and also to use scaling cards ont he clones that will buff them up..

With Omega Red you can reach power into the other locations but you need to remain a huge lead at his location by at least +10 power comapred to your opponent.

As kind-of a supercharge d Hawkeye, Rescue comes with some flaws that you need to play around. With the reveal next turn, Rescue will be 9 power and absolutely inviting your opponent to drop a Shang-Chi on top but can also use as a distraction or combined with protective cards as a good Turn 4 + Turn 5 push for one location..

With decent power himself as a 4-cost card, the other benefit of Rockslide are shuffeling two rocks into your opponents deck to potentially mess up one or even two draws..

A very similar card to Devil Dinosaur or Darkhaw, but unlike Devil Dino (scales by your handsize) and Darkhawk (scales by your opponent's DECKsize), Ronan scales by your opponent's handsize so adding as many cards there will help you make Ronan a decent 2-digit power card on Turn 5..

If you can destroy, block or even swap over The Void that you will get on the board through Sentry, you can gain quite some value..

Reducing all cards to their initial value, Shadow King can deal with all On Reveal ability cards that increase power (or decrease your power), so there's a bit you can do here. Please mind, power increases through ongoing effects, like Darkhawk, Ronan or Devil Dinosaur have, will NOT be affected by Shadow King..

Super Skrull can take ALL ongoing effects your opponent plays and mirror them on your side through ongoing (this means also cards played AFTER he is played will donate their ongoing effects). So, this sounds amazing but also keep in mind he will take control effects like Professor X, Cosmo, Armor or debuffs like Typhoid Mary or REd Skull's skill so you really want to make sure you play him only in the right situation. He is a tech card, for sure..

You can use him to copy the power of a card that you played earlier, this is already a great ability, but you can also use that on cards that gained their power through several stages or have negative effects (without copying those effects)..

Titania is probably the card with the highest confusion so let me get into her mechanics really quick. Whenever a card is played after she is played, she will flip sides - she will basically bounce back and forth until either both players stop playing cards on top of her location or one side of the location is full. So, the best startegy here is using her to be on your opponents side as the 4th card so he can't play any more cards and then play a card on Turn 6 on your side to make her switch sides back to your side. This is net a 10 power swing plus the card you played and most likely that location will be yours. Also, she won't be triggered by cards that get summoned there (like Squirrel Girl copies, Ultron's bots, Debrii's rocks, etc.).

Venom eats through cards and gains all their power and if you can combine that with cards that benefit from being destroyed, you can scale up Venom a lot. Also a useful card to 'wrap up' multiple cards to become one to gain more space in a location. But also with 3 power a decent card overall..

Viper might sound at first like. card you play in vers specific situations, but taking a closer look you will see there are several combos you can use to disrupt your opponent's sideby a lot..

Agent 13 is a basic 1-cost card that helps increasing your handsize plus you might be able to pull a useful card that you don#t have in your deck or collection, making her quite a popular starting card..

Vision as a 5-cost card can move once with every turn, but without any combinations, there's only one turn left where he can move. Still, you can get him on the board earlier or just park some power with him to re-arrange later..

Scale Vulture up every time you move him by +5 power, easily scaling him towards a 13+ power card and as he's moving also harder to track and destroy..

By competing only for two locations and keeping one free, Warpath can become a 9-power card and help you keep the lead in that location..

Whenever any of your cards gets destroyed, Angel will fly in and fill the spot with the +2 power..

Cable does various things that will help you - he draws a card your opponent might need for his draw lines, you can gain information on the deck your opponent is running, increase your handsize if you run Devil Dinosaur and if its useful, you can even play the card yourself.

You can use Doctor Strange to move around a card - and when using it with a card that benefits from being moved, you can gain quite some power through that.

.

Forge can increase the power of the following card and when played with cards that duplicate their power, they can scale up faster and higher overall..

Has okay energy-to-power ratio and can gain a little extra if you manage to play it in the location your opponent plays cards in. Can be a card to deal with Storm in, but overall not too exciting..

A common 1-cost card that gains +2 power when you play another card in the same location on the next turn. Nothing game-changing but can be incorporated quite easily in several deck archetypes..

With Heimdall you can not only move all your cards one location to the side and change the outcome of the game completey, you can also enable all moving buffs your other cards have to gain more power.

Hulk has no special ability but 12 power for 6 energy is a fair deal in case you need it - still you can combine him with cards to increase his power or get him on the board cheaper to get more value out of him. If you run him along High Evolutionary, he can unlock his evolution ability that let him grow power whenever you have leftover energy..

Hulkbuster is used best to power-up certain cards that can multiply their power to they scale up more or to target certain cards..

Kraven gets +2 power for each card, no matter if those cards are on your side or your opponent's cards, that moves to his location. This might now sounds too much and moving is not too common, Kraven can often grow without the opponent noticing and win you locations.

If you play her in the right location (where your opponent plays a card), she willnot just increase your handsize by drawing a card from your opponent's deck, she will also reveal a lot of information what deck you opponent is up to. Also, your opponents don't know what card you draw from their deck so they might wait for that card while you know what deck they might play. That's a ton of value for a 1-cost card if you can land it right..

.

Mister Sinister has 2 power and summons a clone with the same stats. Not too interesting but you can combine him with several cards that increase power to scale him up and get great value for the 2 energy spent..

Morph will switch into a card from your opponent's hand. This can be a great thing or not as you can switch into a Infinaut fro 3 power or get a card that will destroy your location or discard your whole hand so be very careful. Either play it on an empty location or later in the game to have better chances to draw a high-power card..

By moving Multiple Man through any movement ability, he will leave behind a exactl copy of himself, so you can basically duplicate him accross the board, increase his power and get a nice power spread..

Namor is very similar to Orka but with a little less power but cheaper to play. So you can either use him along with other cards that buff up a location, pretending to not care about a location to pump the 10 power into on the last turn plus whatever you buffed up there before..

Pusniher can scale quite well if you play him into a location with many cards on your opponent's side (or make sure to fill that location up).

Can become a 5-power card if you manage to play him at the same time when your opponent plays a card in the same location.

Strong Guy gains a good power push if you manage to empty your hand so you will not only have net some nice power on the board, you can also increase it after the match ends to take over from your opponent, which can be a great way to use Strong Guy..

Try to slide in Wolverine into destroy effect cards to scale him up or have him in your hand along mass-discard cards to get his 4 power on the board for free is how you play him.
