Good morning all! I’m back at Marvel Snap Zone with a deck of the day: a top deck for you to try out! My aim for this article is to get you in and out quickly and give you something new to play every day along with the tools to do well with it. Check out the video for a verbal explanation of this and three other new decks.
We also got big Snap Packs news yesterday, including a date of release. The end of the video has my breakdown on that, too!
Decks with Infinity Ultron
I’m having a lot of trouble evaluating Marvel Snap’s new card. Usually, within a day or so, I have, at the very least, a good feel for potential output and decks that the card belongs in. We’re narrowing down decks – just deciding which are the best of a pretty good group – but his output? That’s all over the place.
Right now, he feels clunky but powerful. Stones leave a ton of room for surprise plays and can be made cheaper in several ways. Ultron is weak at a 5-6, but can also be ramped into and still prove effective. On turn 5, he’s often not better than Iron Man or Sera, but it’s unclear if he’s worth it over then on turn 4. Silver Surfer and Victoria Hand love having extra cards to work with, but sometimes there’s not really space or time to play them. He’s winning me a lot of games, but is Cannonball or Legion just worth more in a deck? I’m not sure about any of these questions yet, but I do know this deck (and the other one in the video) feels very strong.

Our friend ToxicSoulKing is back with a great day 1 build, one with which he had a 69% win rate in 60 games.
Agamotto disappeared after his season ended, but I don’t think the card was ever less than really strong. A lot of it was his builds being co-opted by Thanos, along with the meta consequence of way more Gorgon, but some was also that he wasn’t the shiny new toy. Well, Agamotto works amazingly well with each of our two most recent shiny new toys, so he should be back.
Kahhori loves having access to Bolts of Balthakk and Images of Ikkon. The former lets her be played with Galacta or Infinity Ultron while the latter turns her into an easy 15+ power play on board. Infinity Ultron further puts cards in hand to really help the Kahhori power spike, and with Quinjet and Agent Coulson, that’s what this deck is really leaning into.
Infinity Ultron is also a really strong ramp target here from Bolts or Luna Snow. In fact, I think Luna Snow is almost always going to be the partner card that goes with IU in a similar way to how Zabu is almost always with Galacta or Scream is with Kraven. Luna is a Series 5 card, which limits her availability, but if you do have her, IU is way better.
But Luna’s not only here for that or Agamotto in this deck. That extra energy on turn 4 can be great. Galacta and an immediate card turns her into a near OP 4-14. Zabu doesn’t just work for Shang, Galacta, and Kahhori – Images of Ikkon is hit. Quinjet isn’t just great for the Stones – the spells and Coulson’s and Iron Patriot’s cards are awesome cheaper. This list’s brilliance is how multi-useful everything is!
