Marvel Snap: The Ultimate Nico Minoru Deck

Nico Minoru, a 1-Cost 2-Power utility card in Marvel Snap, possesses the unique ability to cast a spell on the card that follows her when revealed. Nico joined the game in October's Spotlight Cache, joining Kitty Pryde and Phoenix Force. Although Nico's arrival was unexpected, she brings with her a complex ability. This guide aims to assist players in utilizing her unpredictable On Reveal skills, enabling them to build a powerful and consistent deck that can make a significant impact in Marvel Snap's META.

How Nico Minoru Works in Marvel Snap

Nico has a total of seven spells, which reshuffle themselves at the beginning of every round. The key condition is that none of her spells can be repeated. As an "On Reveal" card, all of Nico's abilities come into effect as soon as she is placed on the board. Additionally, her spells have an impact on the card that is played immediately after her, except for the buff ability, which doubles Nico's Power. Here is a comprehensive list of all her abilities:

• Turn the next card into a Demon.
• Destroy the next card and draw two cards.
• Move the next card one location to the right.
• Give the next card +2 Power.
• Replace the next card’s location effect.
• Add a copy of the next card to the hand.
• Double Nico’s Power.

Since each of her spells can happen once, bouncing her back to the hand won’t repeat her previous ability.

The Best Deck for Nico Minoru

In the present META, an optimal deck for Nico Minoru consists of a combination of Elsa Bloodstone, Thanos, Forge, Falcon, Jeff!, Angela, Miles Morales, Human Torch, Kitty Pryde, Luke Cage, and Moon Girl.

Here’s a breakdown of card synergies:

• Nico Minoru: Casts a spell On Reveal (has seven in total).
• Thanos: Shuffles six Infinity Stones to hand.
• Elsa Bloodstone: Earns +3 Power when a card fills her location.
• Human Torch: Doubles in Power when moved.
• Forge: Gives the next card +2 Power.
• Kitty Pryde: Each turn returns to hand with +1 Power.
• Luke Cage: Protects the Power of cards in his location.
• Jeff!: Can move to another location once, no matter what.
• Falcon: Returns 1-Cost cards to hand.
• Angela: Earns +2 Power per card played to her lane.
• Miles Morales: Cost only 1 if a card moved last turn.
• Moon Girl: Duplicates the hand.

As the synergies imply, this Nico deck leans toward the bounce and move archetypes, making the most of buff cards like Human Torch, Angela, and Elsa Bloodstone.

How to Play Nico Minoru

Here are some suggested combinations:

Buff Human Torch using Forge and move him twice using Nico's spell and Thanos' Space Stone to accumulate 32 Power.

Use Nico's copy spell to duplicate Elsa Bloodstone, and repeat the process with Moon Girl to obtain four Elsa cards.

Use Nico to move a card with Nico, decrease the Cost of Miles Morales to 1, and duplicate the card with Moon Girl to obtain two 1-Cost 5-Power cards at the beginning.

Utilize Forge and Nico to grant Human Torch +4 starting Power and subsequently transfer it using the Space Stone to generate a total of 12 Power.

Buff or reposition a card using Nico's ability, and then bring her back to your hand with Falcon to launch another attack.

In the existing deck, the majority of the cards work in harmony with Nico's spells, apart from her ability to discard. For instance, Thanos Stones complement Nico's spells perfectly. Moon Girl has the ability to duplicate strengthened cards, granting you additional offensive choices. Additionally, Elsa, Angela, and Human Torch greatly profit from Nico's spells.

How to Counter Nico Minoru

Nico Minoru, being an On Reveal card, can be countered by Cosmo. Nonetheless, an even more effective choice would be Shadow King, as he has the power to reverse the Power of all buffed cards. This ability proves to be crucial in situations where Nico causes extensive movement or eliminates buffs in the later stages of the match.
