The Ultimate Guide to Building the Perfect Ms Marvel Deck

Marvel Snap's November Season Pass card features Ms. Marvel. She is a 4-Cost, 5-Power Ongoing card that has the ability to boost adjacent locations. Ms. Marvel is the highlight of the Higher, Further, Faster update and has the potential to make a significant impact in the metagame by dominating existing archetypes. In this guide, Marvel Snap fans will learn how to build a reliable deck for Ms. Marvel, effectively utilize her abilities, and counter her disruptive potential.

Ms. Marvel's ability works by granting +5 Power to each adjacent deck. However, her ability only activates if there is at least one card in each lane. Furthermore, for the ability to activate, the cards in a lane must have different Costs if there are multiple cards present.

The Best Deck for Ms. Marvel

An optimal deck for Ms. Marvel consists of a powerful combination of superheroes including Onslaught, Zabu, Spectrum, Cosmo, Darkhawk, Mystique, Klaw, Storm, Mister Fantastic, Omega Red, and Iron Man.

Here’s how the card synergies work:

Onslaught duplicates Ms. Marvel’s Ongoing ability.

Spectrum buffs Ms. Marvel—and other Ongoing cards—with +2 Power.

Zabu reduces the Cost of Ms. Marvel, making her a 3-Cost drop.

Mystique steals Ms. Marvel’s effect, creating two 15-Power buff options.

Cosmo protects Ms. Marvel against possible counters.

Storm blocks a lane to preserve Ms. Marvel’s buff.

Mister Fantastic, Klaw, Red Omega, and Iron Man add to Ms. Marvel’s buff.

Darkhawk is a backup strategy for when Ms. Marvel fails.

How to Play Ms. Marvel

An effective approach is to designate the middle lane for Ms. Marvel's gameplay, while ensuring she is safeguarded by Cosmo. Doing so allows her to bestow a +5 Power boost to the neighboring areas, thereby totaling 15 Power throughout the game. Subsequently, players have the opportunity to amplify her impact by utilizing Onslaught, resulting in a formidable 25-Power enhancement.

However, Marvel Snap fans should note that Ms. Marvel’s Ongoing effect has two preconditions:

At least one card must be in the adjacent locations. Otherwise, her effect won’t be triggered.

She considers the cards’ base Cost. So, discounted cards won’t be counted as unique-cost options. (e.g., a 1-Cost Miles Morales will still count as a 4-Cost drop).

How to Counter Ms. Marvel

Standard counters for Ms. Marvel are Debrii and Enchantress. However, her strategy can also be disrupted by the goblins, Green Goblin and Hobgoblin.

Is Ms. Marvel Worth It?

Despite the limitations of her ability, Ms. Marvel remains a valuable addition to any deck. She excels in synergizing with Doctor Doom decks, as well as ramp and junk archetypes. The only drawback of playing Ms. Marvel is her requirement to be played in the mid-lane and paired with cards of unique cost.

Editor's P/S

Ms. Marvel is a powerful card with the potential to dominate the metagame. Her ability to boost adjacent locations can be devastating, especially when combined with cards like Onslaught and Spectrum. However, she is also vulnerable to counters such as Debrii and Enchantress.

Overall, Ms. Marvel is a fun and challenging card to play. She requires careful planning and execution to use effectively, but she can be incredibly rewarding when played correctly. I am excited to see how she shakes up the metagame in the coming weeks and months.
