List of the five best Marvel Snap Galacta counter decks

1) Control deck

This Marvel Snap Galacta counter deck focuses on board control. Storm floods a location early, stopping Galacta from gaining Power at that spot. Aero can reposition the card to different locations to her location to avoid any power buff.

Pair this with Jessica Jones, who gets +4 Power if you skip playing at her location. Use strong midgame cards like Spider-Man to force Galacta players to move resources to less important lanes.

These are the cards in the deck:

• Storm
• Jessica Jones
• Spider-Man
• Sunspot
• Shang-Chi
• Professor X
• Klaw
• Aero
• Armor
• Wave
• Cosmo
• Lizard

2) Move deck

This Marvel Snap Galacta counter deck with Kraven and Cloak can work well against Galacta. Galacta's strength comes from anchoring Power in several spots, but a Move deck focuses on moving cards around.

Kraven gains +2 Power whenever a card moves to his location, balancing out Galacta’s boosts. With Cloak’s ability to move cards, you can disrupt Galacta's plans and prepare to take key locations in the last turns.

These are the cards in the deck:

• Kraven
• Cloak
• Vulture
• Dagger
• Ghost-Spider
• Doctor Strange
• Human Torch
• Miles Morales
• Nightcrawler
• Heimdall
• Iron Fist
• Spider-Man 2099

3) Rocks control deck

This Marvel Snap Galacta counter deck counters her by filling the opponent’s board with Rocks. Debrii creates Rocks at every location, making it hard for Galacta players to place cards.

Combine this with Goose, who blocks cards with 4+ Power, and Viper, who sends cards to the opponent’s side. This way, Galacta's Power boosts are wasted on weak cards.

These are the cards in the deck:

• Debrii
• Goose
• Viper
• Green Goblin
• Hobgoblin
• Spider-Woman
• Scorpion
• Black Widow
• Korg
• Rockslide
• Maximus
• Hazmat

4) Patriot deck

This Marvel Snap Galacta counter deck featuring Ultron and Mystique, counters Galacta by creating a swarm of tokens. Ultron fills the board with drones that Patriot can boost, while Mystique enhances Patriot’s effect.

Since Galacta boosts individual cards, it struggles against a board full of buffed cards. Use Man-Thing to debuff and reduce the power of cards in one location. Blue Marvel and Kazar can be used to increase power across the board.

These are the cards in the deck:

• Patriot
• Ultron
• Mystique
• Wasp
• Squirrel Girl
• Brood
• Doctor Doom
• Blue Marvel
• Kazar
• Shocker
• The Hood
• Man-Thing

5) Surfer deck

This Marvel Snap Galacta counter deck targets Galacta by focusing on strong plays in the final turns. It uses 3-Cost cards like Brood, Maximus, and Polaris, which gain a lot of power at the end.

Silver Surfer boosts all 3-Cost cards, delivering a strong finish that can outpace Galacta's early-game power. Adding Juggernaut further disrupts Galacta by moving important cards to less impactful spots.

These are the cards in the deck:

• Silver Surfer
• Brood
• Maximus
• Polaris
• Juggernaut
• Mister Fantastic
• Goose
• Killmonger
• Absorbing Man
• Bishop
• Rogue
• Sera

Conclusion

Galacta’s ability in Marvel Snap can be challenging, especially without the right counter-strategy. But with cards like Storm, Debrii, Patriot, and Silver Surfer, you can weaken her power and turn the game in your favor. The key is to exploit her reliance on spreading power and respond with focused or disruptive plays.
