Good morning all! I’m back at Marvel Snap Zone every weekday 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. If you want three more new decks today, check out this video!
Butt is one of the best Marvel Snap players in the world, often famous for playing off-meta decks. He’s been playing more this season and is at the top of the Infinite leaderboard (currently sitting at Rank 4). He’s also a participant in our Snap Judgments League tournament – a tournament he’s won two of the three times he entered, only ever losing one game in Marvel Snap tournament play. At the start of the Season, Butt made this deck and it became a bit popular, but the early meta wasn’t quite right for it. Now that everyone is playing midrange-y decks, this is really crushing the competition, Discard and Victoria Hand-centric lists.

This deck’s core concept is actually quite simple. Play Hope Summers in one lane with Galacta on her, then play a 9-Power Galactus on Turn 5, which is, basically, an auto-win. A lot of decks are putting out crazy power right now, whether it be Bounce Move, Victoria Hand, or Discard, but they’re scaling up late game after unexciting early turns filled with set up. Galactus doesn’t give them room to scale, instead going right over the top for victory.
The deck doesn’t fall apart without Galactus, though. This is perhaps the best Jean Grey deck ever. She forces opponents to play at her location while Rocket and Groot encourage opponents to play elsewhere and Iron Patriot really doubles down on the specific location play. All that leads to the Guardians proper—Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, Groot, and Gamora are all very likely to get their +4 power, and in the mid-to-late game you can make that +4 be +7 with Galacta. That is just back-breaking pressure for most opponents.
Card Replacements
- Needs: Galacta, Galactus, Hope Summers
- Rocket and Groot -> Polaris
- Ghost-Spider -> Araña, Nebula
- Iron Patriot -> Cable
Turn by Turn
- Turn 1: Pass
- Turn 2: Iron Patriot or Daredevil
- Turn 3: Hope > Jean
- Turn 4: Galacta > double 2-Cost > 3-Cost
- Turn 5: Galactus if Galacta on Hope; Jean and a 2-Cost is great to fill a lane if another is empty
- Turn 6: Gamora and Ghost-Spider/Rocket Raccoon
