Marvel Snap July 2024 (Deadpool & Wolverine) New Card Guide: Review and Decks

Wait, is that an MCU Movie I spy on the horizon? And Marvel Snap is crossing over for the first time since Ant Man and Wasp over a year ago! Let’s take a look at what Glenn Jones and crew have in store for us this July 2024 for the Deadpool & Wolverine Season. And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Snap Judgments production if we didn’t give you decks. Let’s go!

This guide is for upcoming future content. All details are not final and may change upon release. Check out our datamining article for more information!

Gwenpool

Variants

Gwenpool

On Reveal: Pick a random card in your hand 3 times. Give +2 Power each time.

The July Season Pass card will be Gwenpool, the Season Pass card for the Deadpool & Wolverine Season despite being the one character this season that has nothing to do with either character in the comics.

Gwenpool is seemingly broken. She’s a [4/4] but her +2 ability can easily make her a plus 12. It’s pretty easy to abuse that ability with cards like Wong, Grand Master, and Absorbing Man. There are also targets that make that +2 so much more – Sebastian Shaw, Brood, Black Panther, Mysterio… so many cards love this effect.

I’m convinced this card being on the horizon is part of why we got the Zabu nerf. Gwenpool as a 3-Cost, especially when combined with Wong would be a problem. I think, though, this is probably a problem anyway, as it kicks off an extremely powerful Season, likely the strongest since the Hope Summers in the X-Men vs. Avengers one.

Bob from Hydra – July 9, 2024

Variants

Bob from Hydra

After each turn, move to another location if you’re losing here.

None

view card details Start a deck Decks with Bob from Hydra

[2/5] has long been a premium stat line. Lizard, as a [2/5] was nerfed. So was Mysterio. But partially due to general power creep and partially due to Shang-Chi now hitting 10-Power cards, a [2/5] is no longer nearly as rare, though it still is quite useful, and, as far as [2/5]s go, Bob from Hydra is one of the best.

Bob from Hydra makes it really difficult on an opponent at the end of the game. They can take over Bob’s lane, sure, but doing so risks the card moving to one of the other two lanes. Well, they also need to be up by more than 5 in those lanes to ensure a win. That’s terrifying, and if Professor X is still a meta card come July, probably a problem. Cannonball has a new best friend.

The 2-Cost slot is again being pushed in Marvel Snap – from Pixie to Valentina and White Widow – mainstays like Jeff the Baby Land Shark and Angela have a lot of company. Bob may edge them all out.

Ajax – July 16, 2024

Variants

Ajax

Ongoing: +1 Power for each card in play afflicted with negative Power.

None

view card details Start a deck Decks with Ajax

Ajax is another [4/4] that can easily break ten power, as his Ongoing ability gives him +1 for every card in play afflicted with negative Power. This is rarely going to happen, as the second he comes out Luke Cages will be everywhere, but that gives him a potential 28-Power if every spot on both sides has at least a -1.

His synergies are all over the place – Scorpion, Red Guardian, Hazmat, High Evolutionary cards – an the one answer to his ability, Luke Cage is vulnerable to Rogue and Enchantress, too. He’s great, dangerous, and probably the top-end Power that an affliction junk deck needs to take over the meta.

This card is disgusting, and still among the least powerful cards of its month. July is nuts.

Copycat – July 23, 2024

Variants

Copycat

When you draw this, steal the text from the bottom card of your opponent’s deck.

None

view card details Start a deck Decks with Copycat

Speaking of cards that will be a problem – it’s Copycat!

In Marvel Snap right now, milling an opponent out isn’t terribly difficult, and this is a mill tool that only needs to be drawn, not played, to ruin an opponent’s day. Milling down to one card and this taking that card is going to be obnoxious, with the only real saving grace being that maybe that card is also the cheapest for Baron Zemo or Yondu.

Still, we know Surfer Zemo can be a tier 1 deck. YoWoodyMJ hit #1 on Infinite ladder with it. This tool for that deck feels insane. Sometimes it will hit nothing, but when it hits, the opponent will lose a Doctor Doom or an Odin or some other powerful card. And they won’t know about it!

Sometimes the card it grabs will be detrimental. You don’t really want this to be a Destroyer, right? Just don’t play it! It happens automatically when drawn and is so strong in that context. This month is nutty.

Cassandra Nova – July 30, 2024

Variants

Cassandra Nova

On Reveal: Drain 1 Power from each card in your opponent’s deck.

None

view card details Start a deck Decks with Cassandra Nova

Cassandra Nova is impossible to evaluate without guessing. She’s a [3/1] that “drains” a Power from every card in your opponent’s deck… but what does drain mean in Marvel Snap?

The safe assumption is probably that it absorbs one Power from each card in the deck. That makes Cassandra Nova a [3/7] on curve and worse later, which is also way worse than cards that rarely see play like Wolfsbane.

So, there’s probably more to it, right? Could she counter Luke Cage? Could it mean starting deck not current deck? Is she just a counter to Thanos or Arishem and a boon to Darkhawk? Yeah, this one’s just confusing until we get some clarity. For now, though, with what we know, she’s pretty easily the worst card in this otherwise absurdly strong season.

That’s it for our early look at July cards. This Season seems super strong – absolutely like one to save for!
