Good morning all! I’m back at Marvel Snap Zone 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. Check out the video for a verbal explanation of this and three other new decks.
When I started playing Marvel Snap, there were tournaments every weekend that each drew well over 100 players. As it became clear that Second Dinner and NuVerse had no interest in continuing those tournaments in an official capacity, and even less interest in supporting the tournament scene officially with either promotion or prizes, the scene died. Still, csating those tournaments, I met many of the game’s great creators like SuperTechGod and Teebs.
For few months, tournaments in Marvel Snap were essentially dead. At that point, GunnyT, a former MtG judge and I decided to start up the Snap Judgments League – a bi-monthly tournament with cash prizes in a league format so busy adults could play. At the time time, the aforementioned SuperTechGod started PWRonGaming, and with it, founded his own one day tournament series, the Crown. Today’s deck is the one that won The Crown III, and Snap Judgments League Season 6 is Ongoing (we took a month off to do the Grand Prix, our own one day tournament), but neither of those is truly the reason for this interlude.
Next Saturday, at 12pm EST, Marvel Snap and Second Dinner are officially hosting their first tournament, and they’re doing it through our own TO GunnyT along with the great SuperTechGod (along with the not previously mentioned Mottelz and itsGuestGaming). It’ll be streamed on the Marvel Snap Twitch! I’ll be competing; I hope to see you there.
Spectrx won the Crown III by using a slightly updated version of Derek’s day 1 Goliath Thanos deck. The change here is simply adding Mobius M Mobius for Speed, a great meta counter in answering decks like Mister Negative, Bullseye, and opposing Thanos’ Surge and Mockingbird.
The other big difference between this deck and others playing similar Thanos builds is that Spectrx chose to keep Super Skrull. The card is an absolute monster into the meta. It not only wins mirrors – it kills opposing Blue Marvels and gives you a Mobius M Mobius to counter theirs, but if they kept a Speed, why not get extra power there too? – but it’s also amazing into the meta. Affliction, in particular, is a very bad matchup for Thanos, and Super Skrull being an Ajax or Luke Cage turns it into a plus matchup. And that’s without even the Iron Man or Gorr thefts that are regular.
To win the tournament, Spectrx beat NoLucksGiven in a Thanos Mirror (Super Skrull MVP), Kekel’s Havok deck (Cosmo MVP), and then 0Drag0n0’s Affliction twice *Super Skrull MVP) to take the finals. Congrats on a great showing!
