Best S-tier Marvel Snap meta decks

S-tier Marvel Snap Meta decks are the best for climbing the October 2024 ranked season. The synergy between the cards in these decks provides great value at lower costs, with almost no counters.

1) "Junk" deck

Deck:

Hood (1/-3)
Titania (1/5)
Hazmat (2/2)
White Widow (2/2)
Kate Bishop (2/3)
Green Goblin (3/-3)
Magik (3/2)
Debrii (3/3)
Viper (3/5)
Ajax (5/7)
Cannonball (5/8)
Red Hulk (6/10)

Strategy:

The strategy of the "Junk" deck involves sending units with negative power to the opponent’s side. This includes cards like the Hood (-3 power), Green Goblin (-3 power), Widow’s Kiss (created by White Widow, -3 power), and Acid Arrow (created by Kate Bishop, -2 power).

Doing so prevents your opponent from playing their cards since their locations will be filled with negative power cards. You can summon Ajax, Cannonball, and Red Hulk to dominate locations and win the game on your last turn.

This is the best Marvel Snap meta deck now due to its consistency in securing wins.

2) Stature Darkhawk "Rocky" deck

Deck:

Hood (1/-3)
Korg (1/2)
Nico Minoru (1/2)
Swarm (2/3)
Moon Knight (3/3)
Rockslide (3/3)
Copycat (3/5)
Viper (3/5)
Darkhawk (5/3)
Klaw (5/4)
Black Bolt (5/7)
Stature (5/7)

Strategy:

This Marvel Snap S-tier deck revolves around adding Rocks to your enemy’s deck (using Korg and Rockslide) and discarding your own (and your opponent’s) cards to trigger beneficial effects.

For example, you can discard Swarm using Moon Knight to create two zero-cost copies of the former. As you fill up your enemy’s deck with rock and discard their hand, summon Darkhawk with buffed power and Stature for only one mana to win locations. Klaw also comes in handy to significantly boost the power of the location to its right.

Best A-tier Marvel Snap meta decks

Marvel Snap Meta A-tier decks are as good as those in the S tier, with slight flaws and consistency issues holding them back.

1) Ebony Storm lockdown deck

Deck:

Nebula (1/1)
Ebony Maw (1/2)
Madame Web (2/1)
Jeff (2/3)
Storm (3/2)
Makkari (3/4)
Scarlet Spider (4/5)
War Machine (4/6)
Blink (5/7)
Legion (5/7)
Spider-Man 2099 (5/9)
The Infinaut (6/20)

Strategy:

The primary objective of this A-tier Marvel Snap deck is to lock down a location using Storm and Ebony Maw, preventing players from placing cards there. This forces you and your opponent to focus on playing in other locations.

However, you can play War Machine in turn 4 to be able to play cards on all locations. You can then play Legion on turn 5 to prevent your opponent from using any cards for the next two turns, guaranteeing an easy victory.

2) Hela discard deck

Deck:

Blade (1/3)
Luke Cage (3/3)
Lady Sif (3/5)
Jubilee (4/1)
Hell Cow (4/6)
Blink (5/7)
Hela (6/7)
Red Hulk (6/10)
Magneto (6/12)
The Infinaut (6/20)
Death (8/12)

Strategy:

This was one of the best Marvel Snap decks for a long time. It was at the top of the S tier until Hela’s recent nerf in the patch on September 27, 2024.

The Hela discard deck centers around discarding the most costly but powerful units, like Red Hulk, Magneto, the Infinaut, and Death, using Blade, Lady Sif, and Hellcow. On your final turn, you can summon Hela to resurrect them back to the field for free, letting you win most locations.

Best Marvel Snap meta B-tier decks

Marvel Snap B-tier meta decks are easier to build than those in the S and A tiers. They provide decent value with less consistency.

1) Sauron power creep deck

Deck:

Zero (1/3)
Ebony Maw (1/7)
Armor (2/3)
Lizard (2/5)
Sauron (3/4)
Shuri (4/1)
Enchantress (4/5)
Typhoid Mary (4/10)
Vision (5/8)
Red Skull (5/14)
Taskmaster (6/0)
Skaar (6/11)

Strategy:

The new Marvel Snap Sauron deck focuses on Sauron’s ability to negate the ongoing effects of all your cards. This lets you play high-power units like Lizard, Typhoid Mary, and Red Skull without their negative ongoing effects.

On the final turn, you can play Taskmaster or Skaar to win most locations. Shuri can also step on your fourth turn to significantly boost the power of the next card you play.

2) Arishem Loki deck

Deck:

Quinjet (1/2)
Loki (2/2)
Cable (2/3)
Agent Coulson (3/4)
Shang-Chi (4/3)
Enchantress (4/5)
Nick Fury (4/6)
Legion (5/7)
Blob (6/0)
Mockingbird (6/9)
Alioth (6/10)
Arishem (7/7)

Strategy:

This is an updated version of some of the best Arishem decks in Marvel Snap. It mostly relies on its synergy with Loki. Arishem’s ability lets you gain one extra mana every turn, helping you play expensive units a turn earlier. This allows you to summon cards like Legion, Blob, Mockingbird, and Alioth a turn earlier.

However, if your opponent is using power-creep decks (like Sauron Power Creep and Hela), you can exchange your deck with your opponent’s using Loki. The synergy with Arishem also lets you play their deck faster, thanks to Arishem’s extra mana being a permanent effect.
