How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an ongoing ability that reads: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This ability synergizes well with other negative afflicting cards like U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her effect, you should aim to hit at least two enemy cards with her ability, effectively turning her into a 7-power card. However, be wary of Luke Cage, who can completely negate her power, and Enchantress and Rogue, who can neutralize her effect swiftly.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

While Diamondback might seem specialized, she's versatile enough to fit into several competitive decks such as Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's most effective in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's explore two varied decks: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck:

• Kingpin
• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Diamondback
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot

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 essential for the deck's functionality. 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 using Diamondback to dominate lanes. By placing Diamondback in the same lane as Kingpin, you can reduce enemy cards by -4, while Scream gains power elsewhere. The deck also features a Doom 2099 package for late-game power boosts.

Toxic Ajax Deck:

• 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 Silver Sable can be replaced with Nebula, the rest are crucial for optimal performance. The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using various affliction cards. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can deliver a powerful endgame surprise. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, which can otherwise cripple this deck.

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you have most of the necessary affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or enjoy playing with Scream. However, if you lack these key cards or prefer to avoid such decks, you might want to skip her, as she's most effective in expensive, specialized decks.
