How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap
Diamondback enters the fray as 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 creates a powerful synergy with Marvel Snap's array of negative-affecting cards, including US Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, aim to affect at least two cards with her ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power card.
However, be wary of Luke Cage, who can completely nullify her effect, and watch out for Enchantress and Rogue, who can swiftly neutralize her threat.
Best Diamondback Decks in Marvel Snap
While Diamondback might seem specialized, she seamlessly integrates into various competitive decks such as Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's particularly potent in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's explore two distinct decks where she shines: 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

This deck features 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 success. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider substituting 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 dominate that lane, reducing opponent's cards by -4. Meanwhile, Scream gains power elsewhere. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package for powerful late-game plays, with Aero, Doctor Doom, or Magneto, plus any affliction from card movement.
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 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 the deck's effectiveness.
Is Diamondback Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Diamondback is a valuable addition if you're equipped with most affliction-style cards for an Ajax deck or if you're a fan of Scream. However, if you avoid such decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to pass on her. She's most effective in decks that can be quite expensive to assemble.
And there you have it—the best Diamondback decks in Marvel Snap. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, these strategies will help you make the most of Diamondback's unique abilities.
