Captain Marvel is a Series 3 card with a Cost and Power of four. Her passive ability is that at the end of the game, she flies to the lane that will win the match. In this Marvel Snap guide, players can learn how to capitalize on her end-game influence to create a solid setup. With that being said, here’s the best deck for Captain Marvel so that players can make the most out of this card during matches. Ways to counter Captain Marvel are also discussed below.
The Best Deck for Captain Marvel
To assemble the best Captain Marvel deck, team her up with Korg, Darkhawk, Zabu, Jeff!, Angela, Enchantress, Rock Slide, Elsa Bloodstone, Iron Lad, Kitty Pryde, and America Chavez.

Here’s how each card would synergize with Captain Marvel:
- Zabu drops her Cost.
- Jeff moves to another lane, preparing the deck for her.
- Iron Lad can copy her text, giving players two Captain Marvels.
- Angela, Kitty Pryde, and Elsa Bloodstone create a late-game buff.
- Darkhawk uses Korg and Rock Slide to become a win condition.
- Enchantress protects the deck against debuffs.
- America Chaze distributes Power to a losing lane.
Pool 3 Budget Deck for Captain Marvel
To create an adequate setup for Captain Marvel with Series 1, 2, and 3 cards, have her team up with Nightcrawler, Armor, Cloak, Shang-Chi, Spider-Man, Doctor Doom, and Miles Morales. These characters can replace the above deck’s Series 4 and 5 cards (i.e., Zabu, Jeff, Darkhawk, Elsa Bloodstone, Iron Lad, and Kitty Pryde).
How to Play Captain Marvel
Because of her conditional effect, Captain Marvel shouldn’t be considered a win condition. Instead, she must be played as a budget backup card. Combined with Zabu, Captain Marvel becomes a three-Cost, four-Power card, which is a risk-free drop. Players running Captain Marvel decks should also avoid clogging their lanes. Otherwise, she won’t have many end-game landing spots.
How to Counter Captain Marvel
When playing against Captain Marvel, the primary strategy should be lockdown. Players must block her way using cards like Debrii and Professor X. However, some move-archetype cards such as Cloak would also make good counterplays since they allow for a board rearrangement before Captain Marvel’s ultimate attack.
