How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card whose ability states: “Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power.” This ability synergizes exceptionally well with Marvel Snap's array of negative power-afflicting cards, including US Agent, Man Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her potential, you should aim to hit at least two cards with her Ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power powerhouse. However, be wary of Luke Cage, who can negate her effect entirely, as well as Enchantress and Rogue, who can swiftly neutralize her impact.

While Diamondback might appear specialized, she seamlessly integrates into various competitive decks such as Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's likely to shine most brightly in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks. Let's explore two diverse decks where Diamondback can truly excel: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck

• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Spider-Man

This deck features Series 5 cards like 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. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider replacing him with another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy involves manipulating your opponent's cards with Kingpin and Scream while using Diamondback to dominate a lane. By placing Diamondback with Kingpin, you can subtract an additional -4 power from cards moved to that lane, while Scream amplifies your power elsewhere. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package to capitalize on the final turns, using Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto to secure victory.

Toxic Ajax Deck

• Silver Sable
• Hazmat
• US 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, US Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. Silver Sable can be swapped for Nebula if needed, but the rest are essential for optimal performance. This deck, while costly, is incredibly potent.

The goal is to boost Ajax's power using your array of affliction cards. Sometimes, you may choose not to play Luke Cage to maximize Ajax's power. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for sudden power spikes, while Anti-Venom can deliver a surprise power surge in the game's final turns. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring your deck remains effective.

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

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you already possess most of the affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or if you're a fan of Scream decks. However, if you steer clear of affliction decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to pass on Diamondback. She's most effective in decks that are quite costly to assemble.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap.
