How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an intriguing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This makes her a perfect fit for decks that leverage negative power effects, synergizing well with cards like US Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, you'll want to ensure her Ongoing effect hits at least two cards, effectively turning her into a 7-power card.

However, be wary of cards like Luke Cage, which can negate her effect entirely, and Enchantress and Rogue, which can quickly neutralize her threat.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

While Diamondback might seem specialized, she fits seamlessly into various competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. Here, we focus on two standout decks: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck

• Cards: Kingpin, Scream, Kraven, Sam Wilson Captain America, Spider-Man, Diamondback, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Polaris, Doom 2099, Aero, Doctor Doom, Magneto
• Strategy: The goal is to manipulate your opponent's cards across the board while afflicting them with negative power. Diamondback can be placed in the same lane as Kingpin to dominate that lane, reducing opponent's cards by -4 when moved or pushed there. Meanwhile, Scream gains power elsewhere. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package for late-game power surges.

Toxic Ajax Deck

• Cards: Silver Sable, Hazmat, US Agent, Luke Cage, Rogue, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Man-Thing, Ajax
• Strategy: This deck focuses on maximizing Ajax's power through negative affliction cards. Sometimes, avoiding Luke Cage can boost Ajax's power further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for significant power spikes, while Anti-Venom can provide a surprise power boost in the final turns. Rogue is essential to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring your deck's effectiveness.

Is Diamondback Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you have most of the necessary affliction cards for an Ajax deck or if you're a fan of the Scream deck. However, if you avoid affliction decks or lack key cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to pass on her, as she's most effective in decks that can be quite expensive to build.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap. Enjoy experimenting with this new addition to enhance your gameplay!
