How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an ongoing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This ability synergizes well with other negative power-afflicting cards such as U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, you should aim to affect at least two cards with her ongoing effect, turning her into a formidable 7-power card.

However, be wary of cards like Luke Cage, which can completely negate her power, and Enchantress and Rogue, which can neutralize her effects swiftly.

Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap

While Diamondback may appear to be a niche card, she fits well into several competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She is most likely to shine in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, which share similarities. Here, we'll explore two diverse decks: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck:

• Kingpin
• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are essential for the deck's success. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider swapping him for another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy here is to manipulate your opponent's cards using Kingpin and Scream while positioning Diamondback in the same lane as Kingpin to win that lane. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package to capitalize on late-game plays with Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto, combined with any affliction effects from card movement.

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 features numerous Series 5 cards: 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 other cards are crucial for optimal performance. This deck is one of the most expensive but also one of the most powerful in the game.

The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using various affliction cards. Sometimes, you might choose not to play Luke Cage to boost Ajax further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can provide a surprise power boost in the game's final turns. Including Rogue in the deck counters the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring the 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 enjoy playing with Scream. However, if you avoid such decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to skip her. She's most effective in decks that can be quite costly to assemble.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap*.
