With the November 2025 patch, Second Dinner has introduced Snap’s first set of pre-built decks for players. These come after the successful test of pre-built decks in Grand Arena, and now they are used to give newer players the chance at playing competitive decks quickly! There’s several things to know about these decks, so this article will break down what they are, how they work, how to get them, and what the decks do for your card collection.
What Are Pre-Built Decks?
If it isn’t clear by the name, pre-built decks are fully made decks with cards picked by Second Dinner. By selecting an unlocked pre-built, you can play a well designed deck that should be competitive against the meta. All of the cards in the deck will be unlocked for you if you didn’t already own them, meaning you are guaranteed to be able to use the deck for as long as you want.
Unlike pre-built decks in other games, you aren’t limited to a certain amount of uses for these decks. Once you unlock the deck, it’s yours to use permenantly. In fact, Second Dinner has made the generous decision of permenantly unlocking any un-owned cards in any pre-built deck you unlock! That means you can fast track your way to a bigger collection, and have access to a more competitive decklist early on in your Snap journey.
What Pre-Built Decks Can You Unlock?
At the time of the patch, there will be 4 decks you can unlock:
Ultron “Zoo” Deck:
CanadianAlfredo
Black Panther “On Reveal” Deck:

Mystique “Ongoing” Deck:

Thanos Deck:

How To Unlock Pre-Built Decks
At the time of the patch, these new pre-built decks will only be for new accounts. A special login calender will be added to new accounts that has preset rewards for different days. The pre-built decks are unlocked as follows:
- Ultron “Zoo” Deck – Day 2
- Black Panther “On Reveal” Deck – Day 5
- Mystique “Ongoing” Deck – Day 10
- Thanos Deck – Day 28
Players will have a 35 day window login and recieve all of these rewards. This gives some forgiveness if a player misses a few days during the login calendar. The calendar days should start for each individual player the first day they start playing. It isn’t on a global timer that starts and ends on a preset day.
FAQ:
Q: What happens if I unlock a card in a pre-built deck before unlocking it in the normal upgrade track?
A: Any early unlocked cards will get you 155 boosters of that card when you unlock it on the Collection Level rewards track. For example: If you unlock Odin first by getting the “Black Panther” deck, the CL track will reward you 155 Odin Boosters once you reach Odin’s typical unlock.
Q: Will the pre-built decks have different cardbacks?
A: Yes! Some cardbacks seen have yet to be released to the general playerbase, but will be released in the future at an undetermined time.
Q: What if I am not a returning player, but I still haven’t unlocked Thanos? Can I still get the free Series 5 card?
A: For existing players who may not have Thanos yet, there will be a Thanos Variant (which comes with the base card) as part of the rewards in next season’s Grand Arena event!
Q: After I unlock a pre-built decks, can I modify it? Or use the new cards in different decks?
A: Once you unlock any new cards from the pre-built decks, you can immediately use them in any deck, or adjust the pre-made one!
