Marvel Snap Deck Guide: September 2024 Edition

This month's Marvel Snap (Free) meta is surprisingly balanced, though the new season and cards are poised to shake things up. While many Young Avengers cards haven't significantly impacted the meta, the new Amazing Spider-Season and Activate ability are game-changers. Expect a drastically different landscape next month.

This guide features top-tier decks, assuming a complete card collection. We'll also explore more accessible, fun options. Remember, meta decks are ever-evolving.

Top-Tier Decks:

Kazar and Gilgamesh

Cards: Ant-Man, Nebula, Squirrel Girl, Dazzler, Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caeira, Shanna, Kazar, Blue Marvel, Gilgamesh, Mockingbird

This familiar low-cost deck leverages Kazar and Blue Marvel buffs. Marvel Boy provides additional buffs, while Gilgamesh thrives in this high-buff environment. Kate Bishop offers flexibility and cost reduction for Mockingbird.

Silver Surfer Still Never Dies, Part II

Cards: Nova, Forge, Cassandra Nova, Brood, Silver Surfer, Killmonger, Hope Summers, Nocturne, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Absorbing Man, Gwenpool

The enduring Silver Surfer deck receives minor adjustments. Nova/Killmonger provide early boosts, Forge enhances Brood clones, Gwenpool buffs hand cards, Shaw benefits from buffs, Hope provides energy, Cassandra Nova steals opponent power, and Surfer/Absorbing Man secure victory. Copycat replaces Red Guardian as a versatile tool.

Spectrum and Man-Thing Ongoing

Cards: Wasp, Ant-Man, Howard the Duck, Armor, US Agent, Lizard, Captain America, Cosmo, Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel, Man-Thing, Spectrum

This Ongoing archetype utilizes Spectrum's final-turn buff. The Luke Cage/Man-Thing combo shines, with Luke protecting cards from US Agent. Cosmo's utility is expected to increase. The deck's ease of play is a significant advantage.

Discard Dracula

Cards: Blade, Morbius, The Collector, Swarm, Colleen Wing, Moon Knight, Corvus Glaive, Lady Sif, Dracula, Proxima Midnight, MODOK, Apocalypse

This classic Apocalypse Discard deck features a buffed Moon Knight. Morbius and Dracula are key cards, aiming for a final-turn Apocalypse/Dracula combo. The Collector offers potential additional value.

Destroy

Cards: Deadpool, Niko Minoru, X-23, Carnage, Wolverine, Killmonger, Deathlok, Attuma, Nimrod, Knull, Death

The Destroy deck remains largely unchanged, with Attuma's recent buff making him a valuable addition. The strategy focuses on destroying Deadpool and Wolverine, gaining energy with X-23, and finishing with Nimrod or Knull.

Fun & Accessible Decks:

Darkhawk Is Back (Did He Ever Leave?)

Cards: The Hood, Spider-Ham, Korg, Niko Minoru, Cassandra Nova, Moon Knight, Rockslide, Viper, Proxima Midnight, Darkhawk, Blackbolt, Stature

A fun deck centered around Darkhawk, utilizing Korg and Rockslide to populate the opponent's deck. It includes disruptive cards like Spider-Ham and Cassandra Nova, along with discard effects to make Stature cost-effective.

Budget Kazar

Cards: Ant-Man, Elektra, Ice Man, Nightcrawler, Armor, Mister Fantastic, Cosmo, Kazar, Namor, Blue Marvel, Klaw, Onslaught

A beginner-friendly Kazar deck, teaching the core combo mechanics. While less consistent than the top-tier version, it provides valuable experience with Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Onslaught.

The September meta is dynamic. The new Activate ability and balance changes will significantly impact the game. Keep adapting your strategies for continued success! Happy Snapping!
