Baxter Building Hot Location Guide: Strategy, Best Cards and Decks
Table of Contents
Today’s Marvel Snap Hot Location is Baxter Building: Whoever is winning this location gets +3 Power at the others. This is a Hot Location for Marvel Snap’s May 2023 season, Guardians’ Greatest Hits. For the next 24 hours, it will now have a 50% chance of showing up in games. Let’s find out what the best strategies, cards, and decks for the new meta!

Strategy and General Tips
On the surface, it may appear the plan here is to swarm the location and gain the advantage. In practice though, you are always better off playing the bigger cards here and supporting them on other locations. +3 power is a surprising amount and swinging Baxter Building late game can lead to a lot of +4 and +8 Cube games.















Cards like Sunspot and Nebula are good early cards to play in your deck and gain advantages from the potential scaling. These cards will demand an answer from your opponent and you can transition to dropping some big cards on the location later in the game such as Devil Dinosaur to win the lane.

























As a location we can reasonably expect plays into later in the game, we can also play the Guardians of the Galaxy cards (such as Rocket Raccoon and Star-Lord) later in the game to flood the location and try to win with efficient additional power.



















This is a location which is great into location interaction such as Storm and Scarlet Witch. This is also due to the surprise factor as your opponent may be relying on the +3 power on the other lanes. Carrying one of these cards for this location can surprise your opponent who may believe they have the win due to extra power.
Deck Features
This list aims to use one of the popular and ‘easier’ to access Destroyer builds along side more scaling one drops and the ability to lock a lane with Storm and Professor X. This gives us lots of tools to maximise Nebula and Sunspot whilst locking down lanes whilst having some big power cards to drop on 6 to try and win the Baxter Building.
Leader should be a good Turn 6 play for this location if Baxter Building is being contested. What is a good flexible deck which can complete with the location and destroy the opposing 1 drops which can scale on the location. DeathWave! Nothing super innovative here, just a strong suggestion to play during the location.
Last up in the recommended decks if the king of overpowering locations, Shuri. This deck can easily aim to win Baxter Buiding then divert enough power to another lane to win the game. This location feels like we are doing a reminder tour of archetypes which are consistent and can do consistent things but here we are. Armor and Cosmo defend what we are trying to do and disrupt opposing gameplans and we set up big power we copy with Taskmaster.
Series 2 and below (pre- CL 474)
This looks to incorporate some of the Guardians to challenge Baxter Building and Storm lanes. Gamora can be a more consistent 5/12 due to the Baxter Building expectations also, allowing for more flexibility on 6 than playing for big 6 cost plays.
After Credits
Control decks can benefit from known locations, here we sacrifice a little in the raw power stakes too go all in on being annoying. Using cards like Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Juggernaut to lock out the Storm lane or Baxter Building lane as well as Spiderman and Professor X. The entire deck is built to frustrate the opposing plays and win where we want to win the locations. If you want a slightly harder deck to play with potentially higher upside, look no further.
