Marvel Snap Balance OTA Analysis and New Decks to Play – June 25, 2026

June 25th – Balance Updates

Hey everyone! Hope your summer’s been treating you well. We’ve been happy with where the SNAP metagame has landed over the past few weeks, so today’s OTA isn’t looking to flip the table. Instead, we’re keeping things light: tapping down a few outliers, giving a recent card that hasn’t quite found its footing a little help, and bringing a couple of Move cards closer to the pack ahead of Spider-Man Brand New Day’s arrival. Let’s get into it!

Debrii

• [Old] 3/8 – On Reveal: Add a Rock to each other location.
• [Change] 3/8 > 3/7

Debrii has been generating a touch too many numbers.  Clearly, it is excellent when paired with Ozymandias, but also having so much synergy and ability to generate priority with Wilson Fisk has put Debrii a bit further on top than we’d like.  Ideally, this will keep Debrii still an excellent card when you draw Ozymandias but have a little less cascading synergy with the rest of the big character package.

Negasonic Teenage Warhead

• [Old] 4/5 – After an enemy character is played here, destroy it. (once per game) 
• [Change] 4/5 > 4/4

Negasonic has been on our radar for some time for when we felt like we could trim some additional rate.  She is a powerful card with a lot of risk of becoming frustrating to play against repeatedly, so we’re always sensitive to her win rate and play rate.  We think it’s finally time to trim a Power.  We expect she’ll still be an excellent card with a very high skill expression, but giving her a lower floor helps make it so that she doesn’t ever become a consideration for the default rate 4 drop.

Aurora

• [Old] 6/6 – On Reveal: Give one of your other On Reveal cards at each location +2 Power. Repeat for Ongoing, Activate, and End of Turn. 
• [Change] 6/6 > 6/5

We’ve seen a lot of cool Venus scaling strategies, but Aurora has seemingly emerged as the most dangerous.  Admittedly, losing a Power won’t stop the two from having a strong interaction, but as usual we’re interested in just toning down the total numbers to make sure that the strategy doesn’t become a clear outlier.

Jubilee Silver Surfer

• [Old] 4/2 – When you draw a card, add this card’s Power to it. 
• [Change] 4/2 > 4/3

Jubilee has underperformed our expectations.  We’ve always believed that Jubilee has a fun and exciting text box, but naturally she is very sensitive to rate, with each point of Power representing at least 3, with the potential to be many more.  We debated considerably about whether to release her with three Power and ultimately took the conservative route.  Now with the data, we’re happy to try her out at 3 base Power and see what happens with players more excited to build around her.

Web Sling

• [Old] 1-Cost – On Reveal: Next turn, one of your cards here is Moveable. (your choice) 
• [New] 1-Cost – On Reveal: Next turn, one of your cards here is Moveable and gets +1 Power when it moves. (your choice) 

Nocturne 

• [Old] 3/4 – Moveable once. When this moves, replace its location with a random new one. 
• [Change] 3/4 > 3/5

Topaz

• [Old] 2/3 – After you play a card here, move it to the middle location.
• [Change] 2/3 > 2/4

We are adjusting a few massively underperforming Move cards ahead of Spider-Man season.  Most notably, Web Sling’s buff is quite large, maybe larger than we’d ultimately like, with its ability to multi-proc in a turn. Guess we’ll find out!

That’s all for this OTA, folks. Enjoy the rest of June and Beach Bash Season, and we’ll see you soon enough for Spider-Man Brand New Day. Happy Snapping!
