List of five Marvel Snap Iron Man decks

1) Ongoing power buff

Ant-Man (Cost 1/Power 1)
Mojo (Cost 2/Power 2)
Armor (Cost 2/Power 3)
Colossus (Cost 2/Power 3)
Mystique (Cost 3/Power 0)
Mister Fantastic (Cost 3/Power 2)
Cosmo (Cost 3/Power 3)
Iron Man (Cost 5/Power 0)
Blue Marvel (Cost 5/Power 3)
Claw (Cost 5/Power 4)
Onslaught (Cost 6/Power 7)
Spectrum (Cost 6/Power 5)

Blue Marvel gives +1 Power to all the cards, increasing their power across the board. Onslaught goes further by doubling all ongoing effects, thus, when combined with Iron Man is four times. Mystique can copy this if Iron Man is already in play, making her a second Iron Man, effectively doubling the effect.

With these cards, Iron Man can convert any low-power board into a high-power near-guarantee win at that location.

2) Mister Negative

This risky Marvel Snap Iron Man deck builds on Mister Negative’s power to switch the cost and strength of the cards (Image via Nuverse)

Bast (Cost 1/Power 1)
Sunspot (Cost 1/Power 0)
Zabu (Cost 1/Power 2)
Psylocke (Cost 2/Power 2)
Mister Negative (Cost 4/Power -1)
Ironheart (Cost 3/Power 0)
Mystique (Cost 3/Power 0)
Darkhawk (Cost 4/Power 1)
Wong (Cost 4/Power 2)
Jubilee (Cost 4/Power 1)
Iron Man (Cost 5/Power 0)
Odin (Cost 6/Power 8)

While Mister Negative flips Iron Man’s cost to zero and Power to five, the latter remains the ideal card in this deck. Darkhawk works well with this deck as his ability is based on the number of cards in the opponent’s deck. Furthermore, at high power, he does not need any additional boosts.

Psylocke speeds this up by getting Mister Negative out faster, after which Iron Man comes in for cheap damage in the last turn.

Lizard (Cost 2/Power 5)

Iron Man (Cost 5/Power 0)
Taskmaster (Cost 6/Power 0)
Infinaut (Cost 6/Power 20)

Alongside cards like Red Skull and Infinaut in a deck, Iron Man can exert a lot of pressure on the board. Red Skull’s high Power is then boosted by Iron Man, doubling it to produce a powerful total. Meanwhile, Vision’s mobility enables you to move to any location. The Infinaut's giant 20 Power is present at a different lane so Iron Man can easily control another lane.

4) Control and Disruption

This Marvel Snap Iron Man deck uses Iron Man’s ability alongside the disruption of the opponent’s strategies (Image via Nuverse)

Sunspot (Cost 1/Power 0)
Armor (Cost 2/Power 3)
Lizard (Cost 2/Power 5)

Enchantress (Cost 4/Power 4)
Iron Man (Cost 5/Power 0)

Cosmo disables any on-reveal effects, thus protecting Iron Man’s invulnerability to counters such as Enchantress or Rogue. Iron Man can stack power at locations where Shang-Chi removes high-power threats, thus utilizing his ability in a secure lane. Enchantress helps deal with enemy ongoing cards so that Iron Man’s double effect is not removed.

5) Discard

This Marvel Snap Iron Man deck is based on Sauron and Armor to counter bad effects (Image via Nuverse)

Sunspot (Cost 1/Power 0)
Black Knight (Cost 1/Power 2)
Armor (Cost 2/Power 3)
Colleen Wing (Cost 2/Power 4)
Wolverine (Cost 2/Power 2)
Lady Sif (Cost 3/Power 4)
Sword Master (Cost 3/Power 7)
Morph (Cost 3/Power 0)
Sauron (Cost 3/Power 4)
Black Cat (Cost 4/Power 10)
Iron Man (Cost 5/Power 0)
Hela (Cost 6/Power 7)

Lady Sif and Black Knight work well in discard strategies. Meanwhile, Sauron cancels any negative ongoing effects of cards like Red Skull. Discard the Ebony blade with Colleen Wing or Sword Master and resurrect discarded cards with Hela. Notably, Iron Man’s constant power boost minimizes the risks of discarding since he is an important anchor.
