Soon after the start of the We Are Venom season, the A Bit Tongue-Tied bundle became available for purchase, featuring a variant for Venom. Will its theme help the bundle, or is it just another bad deal? Let’s find out.
Guide
The price of 2,000 Gold is undoubtedly a plus, but 81% Progress Value is the worst result in the history of named bundles after the Spotlight update, without any hidden strong advantages like with The Eldritch Swordsman bundle, where you could gain an advantage by getting a Series 5 card earlier (by playing with its variant).
Unfortunately, it’s quite clear where these numbers come from. The last-minute added border overshadows all the value, unlike the previously announced contents of the bundle. Due to the absence of 500 Credits and the addition of the border, the bundle falls short even compared to a regular purchase of Credits from the shop and isn’t worth it in terms of resource efficiency.
Comparison With Other Bundles
When comparing the bundle to other bundles from the past six months, it’s clear that it falls significantly short of all the others. Positioned below the average value, it dangerously approaches the value of booster packs, which are notoriously known as the worst recurring deal.
Looking at bundles from the past year in a similar price range, the situation is just as bad – among the cheaper bundles, A Bit Tongue-Tied shows the worst performance.
Since the bundle has a Gold-to-Credits ratio of 1:1 instead of the standard 1:1.25, which you can get at any time in the shop, the comparison based on this metric also looks bleak. The result is poor, and the lower points on the graph are bundles that compensate for the lack of Credits with Tokens.
The Usefulness Of The Variant In The Meta
The bundle includes a variant for Venom, which is a Series 3 card. So, if you don’t have Venom (perhaps you just started playing), you might consider purchasing the bundle as a way to add Venom to your decks earlier than usual.
But even here, there’s a caveat. The We Are Venom Season Pass already includes a variant for Venom, which means that new players already have an alternative way to obtain Venom without waiting for him in the Collector’s Reserves.
Moreover, the season pass not only stands as the best deal for money in Marvel Snap, but the current one also includes Agent Venom – a good and strong card that can be useful for beginners. Therefore, considering the bundle as a way to obtain Venom is only viable for those who play and intend to continue playing F2P.

And of course, the best deck with Venom for all collection levels is the Destroy archetype. A fully assembled version of the deck is shown above, but due to its flexibility, you can replace some cards, and the archetype will still function, albeit with a lower win rate. Nonetheless, it’s recommended to have at least one of these two cards: Death or Knull.
Conclusion
Thus, due to its cosmetic focus, the bundle is a very poor choice for those looking to spend their Gold wisely. It should only be considered for purchase by those who meet all of the following 5 conditions:
- You don’t have Venom in your collection.
- You’re far from completing all Series 3 cards.
- You’re interested in the Destroy archetype.
- You already have many of the cards needed to build a Destroy deck, including Series 4 and 5 cards (X-23, Nico Minoru, Knull).
- You don’t intend to buy the current Season Pass.
Since I believe there are very few people who fit this niche case, combined with the very poor value and the slight advantage of getting to play Venom earlier, I rate the bundle at 0.5 stars.
