How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an intriguing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This makes her a fantastic fit for decks leveraging cards that impose negative effects, such as U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, aim to affect at least two cards with her ongoing effect, turning her into a powerful 7-power card.

Be cautious, however, as Luke Cage can completely neutralize her effect, while Enchantress and Rogue can swiftly counteract her influence.

While Diamondback may seem specialized, she seamlessly integrates into various competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's likely to shine in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's explore two distinct options: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck:

• Kingpin
• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Diamondback
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Polaris
• Doom 2099
• Aero
• Doctor Doom
• Magneto

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are essential, but if you're missing Sam Wilson, consider replacing him with another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy involves manipulating your opponent's cards across the board while applying afflictions with Kingpin and Scream. Position Diamondback in the same lane as Kingpin to dominate that location, subtracting -4 from any cards moved there, while Scream gains power elsewhere. The latter part of the deck leverages Doom 2099, Aero, Doctor Doom, and Magneto to add up points quickly in the final turns.

Toxic Ajax Deck:

• Silver Sable
• Hazmat
• U.S. Agent
• Luke Cage
• Rogue
• Diamondback
• Red Guardian
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Malekith
• Anti-Venom
• Man-Thing
• Ajax

This deck is packed with Series 5 cards, including Silver Sable, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While Silver Sable can be replaced with Nebula, the rest are crucial for optimal performance. It's one of the game's more costly decks but incredibly effective.

The aim is to maximize Ajax's power using various affliction cards. Sometimes, holding back Luke Cage can amplify Ajax's power. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for sudden power boosts, and Anti-Venom can deliver a powerful end-game surprise. Rogue is included to counter the expected surge of Luke Cage during Diamondback's release week, ensuring this deck's resilience.

Is Diamondback Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you have most of the affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or enjoy playing with Scream. However, if you avoid these types of decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to skip her, as her utility is predominantly in expensive affliction decks.

And there you have it—the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap to elevate your gameplay.
