How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

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

While Diamondback might seem specialized, she fits seamlessly into various 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 diverse decks where she can excel: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

Scream Move Deck

• Kingpin
• Scream
• Kraven
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Spider-Man
• Diamondback
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Polaris
• Doom 2099
• Aero
• Doctor Doom
• Magneto

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 functionality. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider replacing him with another affliction card like Scorpion.

The strategy involves manipulating your opponent's cards across the board while afflicting them with Kingpin and Scream. Diamondback can be placed in the same lane as Kingpin to secure that lane, reducing the power of cards moved there by an additional -4. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package to capitalize on the final turns, with Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto adding significant power alongside any affliction effects.

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 swapped for Nebula, the rest are crucial for optimal performance. This deck, though costly, is incredibly powerful.

The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using your affliction cards. Sometimes, you might want to hold back Luke Cage to boost Ajax further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can deliver a surprise power surge in the final turns. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring your deck remains effective.

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 decks. However, if you avoid affliction decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to pass on her, as she's most effective in decks that can be quite expensive to assemble.

And those are the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap.
