Thanos and Shuri Decks Targeted in the Upcoming Marvel Snap Balance Patch Later This Month

Following an update confirming there will be no balance hotfixes this month for Marvel Snap, Glenn Jones from Second Dinner have given a further update to confirm that they will be targeting “Thanos and Shuri decks” and the patch will be released “later this month” via Twitter.

Update: Stephen from the official Discord has shared a titbit of information that also includes improvements to the Token Shop and Collector’s Token acquisition!

Balance changes will be in our next client update which will come out next week if all goes well with certification and deployment. In that client update there are also improvements to token acquisition and the token shop experience.

The two decks occupy the the top tier in our Meta Tier List and have been for the last few weeks. The wording of the Tweet may imply that other cards in the decks may be affected, not just Thanos or Shuri themselves.

Notably, Thanos was most recently buffed to a [6|11] as a delayed response to its play rate, and Shuri is likely to be going to Series 3 in the next Series Drop with the patch (which is not yet announced).

As for the timing of the patch, the last few patches saw the updates drop on January 31 and February 21 so we could hope for a release date on Tuesday March 14 or 21. The most likely date is when the Steampunk Variant Rush is due to start, on February 21, which should require a patch.

    • I don’t think they will leader those cards to oblivion. They will probably still be very good cards. Especially Thanos will probably become better in a way by getting more flexible again (he is a card with many possibilities, but right now one of those is just so strong, it outshines all the others)

  2. It’s honestly taken them too long.

    Not before has it felt so impossible to try new things. Makes me wanna quit. The fact that they’re wasting HALF of this season with the previous season’s STALE ASS meta is absurd.

    • And by the way, if they reverse the nerf for Silver Surfer Thanos will not be a problem (because we will have again many Killmongers). Thanos is not broken.

    • IMO Thanos buff was OK. Seems off to me that the mad titan had so little impact in play. I think the increase in power was OK, and all the problems it has are non related to that power buff, but the stones.

      • So, why everyone discovered now that it is broken? It is out since November. I have my answer. Thanos is not overpowered, it is a good card, hard countered by Killmonger. There are many Thanos because of monetization. This is a permanent series 5 card, and it was the best token purchase for value. Anyway, if now they want to nerf it, they have to refund.
