As a casual player, I can’t always keep up with the meta decks, so I have to rely on some older card combos. Luckily, my deck is still very strong (imo), and so climbing this season has been easy. Anyway, let’s get into the deck breakdown and talk a little bit about the combos and how you can use this deck to win games in Marvel Snap.
Here’s an older deck that I used to play a few years ago. If you are a new player and you only have basic cards, you might want to take a look at it. In any case, let’s talk about my “On Reveal” deck.
Marvel Snap – On Reveal Deck – Card List
| Card Name | Energy |
|---|---|
| Zabu | 1 |
| Ironheart | 3 |
| Wolfsbane | 3 |
| Thor | 3 |
| Mister Negative | 4 |
| Jubilee | 4 |
| Wong | 4 |
| White Tiger | 5 |
| Black Panther | 5 |
| Jane Foster The Mighty Thor | 5 |
| Arnim Zola | 6 |
| Odin | 6 |
If you’ve been playing Marvel Snap for a while, you probably recognize all of these cards. As I’ve mentioned in the intro, as a casual player, I rely on older cards (series 3/1) because a) I play various games, not always in the mood to grind Marvel Snap and b) I’m not topping up in this game, so I just go on with whatever cards I get.
So here’s the thing about this deck. It’s actually very straightforward and simple to play. Once you know your combos, there’s nothing really to think about. It’s not like a counter deck where you have to think 2 steps ahead. No. This one is different. And that’s why I feel like it’s a good deck for casual players who are not super familiar with the meta, and new players alike.
So here are some of your main combos.
Wong + Black Panther + Arnim Zola
If you hit these 3 cards, you probably won the game. Yes, it’s that simple. You are going to attack 2 locations out of the three, so what you want to do is to leave one location empty for Wong.
Once you play Wong on turn 4, you follow up with Black Panther. Black Panther currently is a 5/5 card, which means that with the Wong effect, he will have 20 power after the reveal effect kicks in.
On turn 6, you play Arnim Zola in the same location as your Wong and Black Panther. This is a bit 50/50, which card Zola will copy first. But it doesn’t really matter. If it copies Black Panther first, which is the unfortunate scenario, Black Panther will be summoned with 40 power in the other 2 locations. Plus 2 power from Wong, you attack 2 locations with 42 points. Not so bad, right?
In the scenario where Zola copies Wong first, well, the numbers are like double that. You get the idea.
Pay attention to:
The only way you can get countered is by a Shang-Chi, or a Cosmo. Cosmo counters the whole deck, as it’s an “On Reveal” deck after all. Luckily, these cards are not really meta, so you won’t face them many times.
Wong + Ironheart + White Tiger + Odin
This combo requires 4 cards instead of three, so you can say that it’s a little bit harder to pull off. But trust me, it happens many times. The difference here is that you attack all three locations. The numbers are not going to be as high as the other combo, but they are still high enough to win you the game.
Don’t be afraid to play Ironheart on an empty board if you have Wong plus Odin in your hand.
Another way to play this combo is with Wolfsbane instead of Ironheart.
Mister Negative
Mister Negative isn’t my go-to card, let’s just say that. But, he can be very useful situationally. For example, if you draw him before Zola, Ironheart, Jubilee, White Tiger, Wolfsbane, then you can safely play him, as his effect will allow you to play multiple strong cards for almost no energy. Plus, it’s a 4-cost card, so it synergizes well with Zabu.
Since this deck essentially plays on turn 6, avoid playing on “Swap Hands on Turn 6” location. This is easily one of the worst ones you can get.
