How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." Her synergy with negative afflicting cards such as U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye is particularly notable. To maximize her impact, aim to affect at least two cards with her Ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power card.

However, be mindful of cards like Luke Cage, which can neutralize her effect, as well as Enchantress and Rogue, which can disable her ability.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

While Diamondback may seem niche, she fits well into several competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. Here are two standout decks where Diamondback can shine:

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

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider swapping him for another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy involves manipulating your opponent’s cards with Kingpin and Scream, while Diamondback enhances the negative effects in the same lane. The deck also utilizes a Doom 2099 package for powerful end-game plays.

Toxic Ajax Deck

• Cards: Silver Sable, Hazmat, U.S. Agent, Luke Cage, Rogue, Diamondback, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, Man-Thing, Ajax

This deck is packed with Series 5 cards, including Silver Sable, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While expensive, it's highly effective.

The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using affliction cards. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can provide a surprise boost in the final turns. Rogue is crucial to counter Luke Cage, which can otherwise cripple this deck.

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

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you have most of the necessary affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or if you enjoy playing with Scream. However, if you lack these key cards or prefer to avoid such decks, you might want to skip her, as her utility is limited to specific, often costly, deck types.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you're a seasoned player or new to the game, incorporating Diamondback into your strategy can offer a fresh and powerful approach to your gameplay.
