Marvel Snap Meta: Top Decks For September 2024

Marvel Snap Deck Guide: September 2024 Edition

This month's Marvel Snap (Free) meta is surprisingly balanced, but the new season and cards are shaking things up. This guide offers five top-tier decks and a couple of more accessible, fun alternatives. Remember, meta decks are fluid, so experiment! These assume a complete card collection.

Top 5 Decks:

1. Kazar and Gilgamesh:

Cards: Ant-Man, Nebula, Squirrel Girl, Dazzler, Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caeira, Shanna, Kazar, Blue Marvel, Gilgamesh, Mockingbird

This low-cost deck utilizes Kazar and Blue Marvel buffs, enhanced by Marvel Boy. Kate Bishop and Mockingbird provide additional synergy and cost reduction. A strong performer, but its longevity remains to be seen.

2. Silver Surfer Still Never Dies, Part II:

Cards: Nova, Forge, Cassandra Nova, Brood, Silver Surfer, Killmonger, Hope Summers, Nocturne, Sebastian Shaw, Copycat, Absorbing Man, Gwenpool

A refined classic. Nova/Killmonger provide early boosts, Forge enhances Brood clones, Gwenpool buffs hand cards, Shaw scales with buffs, Hope provides extra energy, Cassandra Nova drains opponent's power, and Surfer/Absorbing Man secure victory. Copycat replaces Red Guardian as a versatile tool.

3. Spectrum and Man-Thing Ongoing:

Cards: Wasp, Ant-Man, Howard the Duck, Armor, US Agent, Lizard, Captain America, Cosmo, Luke Cage, Ms. Marvel, Man-Thing, Spectrum

This Ongoing archetype utilizes Spectrum's final-turn buff. The Luke Cage/Man-Thing combo is potent, with Luke protecting against US Agent. Cosmo's utility is expected to increase. A relatively easy-to-play deck.

4. Discard Dracula:

Cards: Blade, Morbius, The Collector, Swarm, Colleen Wing, Moon Knight, Corvus Glaive, Lady Sif, Dracula, Proxima Midnight, MODOK, Apocalypse

A reliable Apocalypse-based Discard deck. The buffed Moon Knight adds value. Morbius and Dracula are key cards, aiming for a final-turn Apocalypse/Dracula combo. Collector provides potential additional scoring.

5. Destroy:

Cards: Deadpool, Niko Minoru, X-23, Carnage, Wolverine, Killmonger, Deathlok, Attuma, Nimrod, Knull, Death

A near-traditional Destroy deck, featuring the buffed Attuma. Focus on destroying Deadpool and Wolverine, using X-23 for extra energy, and finishing with Nimrod or Knull. Arnim Zola's absence reflects the rise of counter-measures.

Fun & Accessible Decks:

1. Darkhawk Is Back:

Cards: The Hood, Spider-Ham, Korg, Niko Minoru, Cassandra Nova, Moon Knight, Rockslide, Viper, Proxima Midnight, Darkhawk, Blackbolt, Stature

A fun deck built around Darkhawk, utilizing Korg and Rockslide to fill opponent's decks, and including disruptive cards like Spider-Ham and Cassandra Nova.

2. Budget Kazar:

Cards: Ant-Man, Elektra, Ice Man, Nightcrawler, Armor, Mister Fantastic, Cosmo, Kazar, Namor, Blue Marvel, Klaw, Onslaught

A beginner-friendly version of the Kazar deck, teaching the core combo mechanics without requiring rarer cards.

The new Activate ability and Symbiote Spider-Man are expected to significantly impact the October meta. Enjoy the current season!
