Top Diamondback Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

The latest addition to *Marvel Snap* brings Diamondback, a character who teeters on the edge of villainy and heroism, into the mix. Known to dedicated Marvel fans, she's now ready to shake up your gameplay with her unique abilities. Here's a deep dive into the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap* and how to maximize her potential.

How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an intriguing Ongoing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This feature makes her a perfect fit for decks that leverage negative power effects. Key cards like U.S. Agent and Man-Thing, along with others such as Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye, synergize well with her. To maximize her effectiveness, aim to affect at least two cards with her ability, turning her into a formidable 7-power card. However, be wary of Luke Cage, who can nullify her effects, as well as Enchantress and Rogue, who can swiftly counteract her influence.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

Despite her seemingly niche role, Diamondback finds her place in a variety of competitive decks. From Scream Move to Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard, she's versatile. Here, we'll focus on two standout decks: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are crucial for the deck's success, though you can substitute Sam Wilson with another affliction card like Scorpion if needed.

The strategy revolves around manipulating your opponent's cards with Kingpin and Scream, while Diamondback enhances your control over a specific lane by amplifying negative effects. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package, allowing for powerful late-game plays with Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto.

Toxic Ajax Deck

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

This deck features multiple 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 swapped for Nebula, the rest are essential for peak performance. The aim is to boost Ajax's power with your array of affliction cards. Malekith can pull in cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom offers a late-game surprise. Rogue is a crucial counter to Luke Cage, who could otherwise ruin your strategy.

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

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you're already invested in affliction decks or enjoy playing with Scream. She shines in decks like Ajax, which can be costly but powerful. However, if you lack the necessary cards or prefer other deck types, you might want to pass on her, as her utility is somewhat limited to these specific deck archetypes.

And that covers the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap. Whether you choose to add her to your collection or not, understanding her role can give you an edge in your gameplay.
