Trying to climb the ranks in Marvel Snap but need help figuring out a good deck to run? Not to worry, we’ve put together some solid Marvel Snap Pool 1 Decks for you to try. Below you’ll find some excellent Marvel Snap beginners decks you can use to start winning games. Give one of these a shot if you can’t progress any further with your current deck.
Marvel Snap Decks for Pool 1
Below are some of our favorite Marvel Snap Pool 1 decks. These decks utilize Marvel Snap cards from the first Collection Level, where all new players start.
Marvel Snap Zoo Deck
- Ant-Man
- Hawkeye
- Korg
- Nightcrawler
- Rocket Raccoon
- Blade
- Angela
- Wolfsbane
- Kazar
- Strong Guy
- Blue Marvel
- America Chavez
The zoo deck goes heavy on one-cost cards, allowing you to zerg the enemy and synergize with cards like Ant-Man, Rocket Raccoon, Wolfsbane, and Hawkeye. Korg is an optional card here, and some players might prefer to run a card like Elektra for more control, although Korg does disrupt by shuffling a rock into the opponent’s deck.
Blade and Strong Guy synergize well together and could be used in the endgame if you want to drop both of them. Angela is always a good option for a deck that floods the board, as she gains two power every time a card is played at her location. Kazar and Blue Marvel is also great here, as it boosts your cards with more power.
Lastly, we like America Chavez because she makes the deck more consistent by making it your sixth-turn play.
Marvel Snap Move Deck
- Iron Fist
- Nightcrawler
- Forge
- Kraven
- Multiple Man
- Scarlet Witch
- Doctor Strange
- Hulk Buster
- Spider-Man
- Iron Man
- Heimdall
- America Chavez
Here’s a deck that utilizes the “move” mechanic and synergizes quite well with a few cards. One of the keys here is Multiple Man, a card that spawns a copy of itself when it moves. Forge is another combo that synergizes well with Multiple Man, as playing Forge first turns it into a 5-power card that holds this power when it multiplies. Furthermore, Hulk Buster can merge to give Multiple Man even more replication power.
Similar to Multiple Man, Mister Sinister is another key to this deck and is a good option to play on turn three after Forge. You will get two four-power Sinister Clones at the cost of two, which is a very nice value. We also like to run Scarlet Witch here for control in case of a disadvantageous location on the board.
One thing to consider is your board placement. Play towards the right side, so your cards have room to move. The one exception is Kraven, who should always be played on the left location. Spider-Man is an optional card here, and you could always switch it out for something like Blue Marvel. Finally, we have America Chavez and Iron Man for turns five and six, or possibly Heimdall, depending on the situation.
Marvel Snap Value Deck
- Ant-Man
- Hawkeye
- Nightcrawler
- Angela
- Colossus
- Scarlet Witch
- Wolfsbane
- Captain America
- Jessica Jones
- Iron Man
- Spider-Woman
- America Chavez
The beginner deck above has a nice curve resulting in a good tempo. It puts pressure on opponents with high-value cards. Ant-Man, for example, buffs up to a four-power card for one cost — synergize it with Hawkeye to make it a six-power card. Angela is another good synergy, allowing both Ant-Man, Hawkeye, and Nightcrawler to play into her. Finish off the location with Wolfsbane for max value.
Colossus is a safe card that could come in handy depending on the location, but you might consider running someone like Medusa instead. Always run Colossus in zones that give negative power, to increase his value naturally. Similarly, Scarlet Witch is a card you can use to correct negative locations or turn the tides on an enemy who is buffing their cards with a zone.
Captain America and Iron Man are good options for this deck, as they increase power all around for any zone. Punisher is another card you can consider running if you’re getting destroyed by a lot of zoo decks. Finally, we have Jessica Jones and Spider-Woman, which are great value cards, especially if you get them in the right location.
Hopefully, these Marvel Snap pool 1 decks give you some good options to try out if you’re having trouble climbing the ranks. Don’t be afraid to tweak them slightly to cater to your preferred playstyle, and comment below if you have something to add. We’ll be updating this with more decks in the future.
