In this article, Gurugamer is going to showcase the best beginner and meta decks for Marvel Snap December 2022.
Best Marvel Snap beginner decks
The following beginner Marvel Snap decks exclusively use starter and pool 1 cards, which are from collection levels 18-214. These are 71 cards to choose from, and since you are very early in the game, it does not really matter too much if there are some missing.
Ongoing deck
This Ongoing deck focuses on effects that constantly trigger when the cards are in play. Spectrum and Blue Marvel are the best cards for this play style. If you are lucky enough to get turn 7 from an extra energy or the Limbo area, it is possible to get both in play at the same time.
- Ant-Man
- Nightcrawler
- Medusa
- Sentinel
- Ka-Zar
- Iron Man
- Lizard
- Blue Marvel
- Mister Fantastic
- The Punisher
- Captain America
- Spectrum
On-Reveal deck
This Pool 1 deck focuses mainly on On-Reveal abilities, which activate as soon as you play the card. Odin is pretty much the best card in the deck, with Ironheart and Gamora being close behind.
- Elektra
- Nightcrawler
- Ironheart
- Wolfsbane
- White Tiger
- Star Lord
- Korg
- Yondu
- Angel
- Medusa
- Gamora
- Odin
Best Marvel Snap meta decks
You will unlock a lot more options after reaching the Pool 2 (222-450) and Pool 3 (460+) cards, and even more so at Pool 4 and 5. Currently, Silver Surfer is dominating the meta right now - here are the best meta decks in Marvel Snap right now:
Baero deck
Baero focuses on spamming destroy effects early on to overwhelm your opponent before they can build up. The downside of this deck is that it needs a number of late-game cards, including Wave, Aero, Leader, She-Hulk, and Death.
- Nova
- Aero
- Bucky Barnes
- Carnage
- Squirrel Girl
- Yondu
- Killmonger
- Wave
- Deathlok
- Leader
- She-Hulk
- Death
Seracle deck
Sera is the key card of this deck, with Bast also being a staple after its inclusion in Pool 5. Mystique makes the deck more consistent as she can copy the ability of many ongoing cards in the deck. Players can also add Silver Surfer in for a Hybrid deck.
- Bast
- Iron Man
- Sera
- Mysterio
- Bishop
- Mystique
- Blue Marvel
- Ant-Man
- Adam Warlock
- Angela
- Mister Sinister
- Mojo
Infinite deck
This deck is fairly hard to counter, as it includes a turn six 20-power card. Its playstyle is fairly simple – frustrate your foe with cards like Storm, Iceman, Scorpion, and Hobgoblin, win one location with Jessica Jones and a turn five skip, then play The Infinaut to guarantee a location.
- Iceman
- Jubilee
- Hobgoblin
- America Chavez
- Lizard
- Scorpion
- Groot
- Storm
- Sunspot
- Angela
- Jessica Jones
- The Infinaut
Double Devil Control deck
This deck focuses solely on controlling the board – Professor X and Daredevil is a lethal combo that lets you win a lane on turn five. Additionally, White Queen and Cosmo can get intel of your opponent's turn six and shut down their combo, while Leader is a certified turn six win if you already secure one lane and are less than 4 behind in another.
- Nightcrawler
- Daredevil
- Scarlet Witch
- Sentinel
- Cosmo
- Maximus
- Moon Girl
- White Queen
- Devil Dinosaur
- Professor X
- Aero
- Leader
Infinacula deck
This deck pretty much relies on one single combo that would give you a win if you pull the right cards. Infinacula allows you to snap as soon as you have the right cards in your hand, so it’s great for cube management as you can retreat for one cube loss if you don’t have Dracula and The Infinaut by turn four. Focus on filling up two lanes with what is essentially a Kazoo deck, then let Dracula, The Infinaut, and America Chavez swing the game in your favor.
- Ant-Man
- Nightcrawler
- Yondu
- Iceman
- Sunspot
- Armor
- Captain America
- Dracula
- Korg
- Angela
- America Chavez
- The Infinaut
Patriot deck
Patriot is a very simple deck to play that essentially buffs all the cards in your deck with no abilities. It would get weaker as time goes on but you should probably get enough advantage when that happens. Onslaught and Mystique are the key cards of this deck.
Additionally, you still want some cards with abilities, as the low-cost ones that generate copies are often better than more expensive cards like The Thing and Abomination.
- Wasp
- Misty Knight
- Mister Sinister
- Shocker
- Debrii
- Mystique
- Patriot
- Wave
- Blue Marvel
- Magik
- Onslaught
- Ultron
