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." This ability synergizes well with the numerous negative afflicting cards in Marvel Snap, such as US Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, aim to hit at least two cards with her Ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power card. However, be cautious of Luke Cage, who can negate her power completely, and Enchantress and Rogue, who can quickly neutralize her.

While Diamondback may seem like a niche card, she fits seamlessly into several competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's likely to shine in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's explore two distinct decks where she can excel: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck:

• Kingpin
• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Diamondback

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are crucial for the deck's success. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider replacing him with another affliction card like Scorpion. The strategy involves pushing your opponent's cards around while afflicting them with Kingpin and Scream. Diamondback can be placed in the same lane as Kingpin to win that lane decisively, reducing opponents' cards by -4. The deck also features a Doom 2099 package to boost your power in the final turns.

Toxic Ajax Deck:

• Silver Sable
• Hazmat
• US 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, US Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While Silver Sable can be replaced with Nebula, the others are essential for optimal performance. The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using all your affliction cards. Sometimes, you might want to avoid playing Luke Cage to further boost Ajax. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can provide a surprise power boost in the final turns. Rogue is included 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 affliction-style cards needed for an Ajax deck or if you're a fan of Scream. However, if you don't have key cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, or if you avoid affliction decks, Diamondback might not be the best investment due to her limited utility outside these specific, often expensive decks.

And there you have it—the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap to help you harness the power of this intriguing villain-heroine hybrid.
