Marvel Snap’s latest season cross, Into the Quantum Realm, introduces us to a brand new card: MODOK. MODOK is a 5-Cost card with 8-Power and has a sport-altering On Reveal impact that discards your total hand. MODOK’s impact could seem solely unfavorable and even sport-shedding, however Discard decks are extremely terrifying, shocking, and may flip the tables in a match very swiftly or on the final attainable second to realize that candy victory. In our greatest Pool 2 and Pool 3 decks, we did cowl two completely different Discard decks: Discardian Discord and Discardian Dissonance respectively. MODOK is ready to enhance Discard decks much more so by means of its On Reveal impact.
This information will cowl a couple of of the very best MODOK-based mostly decks, the right way to enhance your already environment friendly Discard-centric decks, and even if you’re not the form of cardfighter to buy Marvel Snap’s season passes, these decks will nonetheless be viable in creating sooner or later if you do ultimately acquire MODOK as a result of sport’s card rollout system.
Discarding Detriment
Discarding Detriment is just like Discardian Dissonance from Pool 3 however swaps out Gambit for MODOK. Colleen will all the time discard the bottom-value card, so that you need to be discarding Swarm. Swarm, when discarded, creates an additional copy, which is also a 0-Cost card. By taking part in these 0-Cost Swarm playing cards on prime of Lockjaw’s location, it is possible for you to to swap out for a a lot stronger card in your deck reminiscent of Hell Cow, America Chavez, and even Sword Master.
This deck doesn’t use any 1-Cost playing cards, however this works greatest this manner. For instance, when you’ve got Morbius, Swarm, and Colleen Wing in your opening hand, it’s essential play Morbius first simply in case Colleen doesn’t by accident discard Morbius over Swarm as a substitute.
MODOK excels on this deck since on flip 5, we are able to play MODOK. If we’ve got Swarm alongside Apocalypse in hand, it can discard these two playing cards, however as a result of their results, Swarm will create an additional copy and Apocalypse will place itself again in your hand with a rise of 4 extra energy. Though Swarm and Apocalypse are reborn in a way, they may nonetheless rely as being discarded, so the Morbius we performed earlier within the match will change into powered up. Sometimes, a location may be gained solely with Morbius as a result of its impact to extend its energy by two every time a card is discarded.
If MODOK does discard the whole lot else from our hand on flip 5, we nonetheless have America Chavez that can all the time be drawn on flip six, if she is within the deck. And, if she will not be in a location already as a result of Lockjaw’s card-swapping impact. A 6-Cost card with 9-Power could be a behemoth to be our ultimate play to push a location’s energy to a threshold permitting us to win.
This deck is extra of a mid to late-sport deck, however it could simply overwhelm your opponent in a matter of performs by means of Lockjaw’s mixture with Swarm. Lockjaw is our setup for the complete match. MODOK’s addition to this deck has made it a stable contender within the prime decks on Marvel Snap’s ladder.
This deck is a particularly mighty, combo-heavy, and detrimental deck to opponents that depend on On Reveal or Ongoing decks. This deck takes various observe to grasp its ins and outs–mainly as a result of Lockjaw, however as quickly as you perceive the playstyle, it is possible for you to to rack up win streaks on-line.
Devastating Discard
Devastating Discard makes use of extra early-sport playing cards compared to Discarding Detriment. Iceman, Sunspot, Wolverine, and Storm are our additions to this deck sort. Storm having the ability to flood a location will permit the opponent to scramble to play a card there throughout the flip restrict, however combining Storm with Sunspot and/or Morbius will permit us to simply win that location all through the entire sport as a result of Sunspot growing its energy anytime we’ve got left over vitality or Morbius receiving an extra two energy for every card we discard from our hand.
This deck is much more simple as a Discard deck because the Lockjaw inclusion in our earlier deck is extra for skilled gamers. This Discard deck is far more newbie-pleasant, however that doesn’t imply it’s missing or that it can not rival opponents on the ranked ladder. Sometimes, a much less complicated or much less RNG-based mostly (random quantity generator) deck is best to put out a concrete plan, observe the plan, and set out our win situations.
Wolverine has not too long ago modified and is now a 2-Cost card with 2-Power that can regenerate to a location when destroyed with a rise in its energy by two. Wolverine is not going to be one thing we “play” in a flip, however might be one thing we’ve got discarded by means of Colleen Wing, MODOK, and even Dracula. Since Storm floods a location, Wolverine’s impact will nonetheless permit it to regenerate on Storm’s location even when we can not immediately play playing cards on it afterward.
The solely different card I might recommend for this deck could be Scorpion, which might be swapped out for Wolverine. Scorpion is ready to lower the ability of all playing cards within the opponent’s hand when performed will make it simpler to overpower them. Iceman and Scorpion are each irritating for opponents to take care of.
Deceitful Discard
Deceitful Discard is all about laying the foundations of our discard results, however not having them activate till the tip of the sport. Invisible Woman is a card with an Ongoing impact that, if you play playing cards at her location, is not going to be revealed till the match is over. For instance, this enables us to activate MODOK’s on-reveal hand discard impact a lot later, in order to not diminish our playing cards and sources.
Our ace of this deck is Hela. Hela’s on-reveal impact is that she is going to resurrect each card you discarded all through the sport to random places. By combining her with Invisible Woman, we are able to meticulously resurrect our most dominant playing cards reminiscent of Giganto, The Infinaut, and Death. We can trick our opponent, and use this deceitful tactic to seize that victory.
Play Invisible Woman at a location on flip two, then on flip 5, play MODOK on the identical location. This is not going to activate MODOK’s on-reveal impact at that second. On flip six, we play Hela on Invisible Woman’s location. Due to the sequence and order of occasions/performs, MODOK will, on the finish of the sport, discard our total hand, which probably could be Captain Marvel, The Infinaut, Giganto, and Death. Then, after MODOK’s impact is completed, Hela will then resurrect the entire playing cards we discarded all through the sport; particularly what MODOK simply discarded a couple of seconds in the past.
Captain Marvel is an effective way to decrease the random quantity generator since when she is resurrected by Hela if we do lose as a result of Hela resurrects randomly to places, Captain Marvel will have the ability to fly to whichever location would be the sport-profitable one by itself.
Black Cat might be discarded by itself as a result of its impact on most events, and Lady Sif having the ability to discard The Infinaut, Giganto, or Death earlier within the sport, will permit Hela to resurrect with out using MODOK’s total hand discard.
Discard decks have been fantastic all through the previous few seasons even with out MODOK’s introduction, however MODOK is ready to convey an impact that discards all playing cards. Previously, Hell Cow was the cardboard that will discard probably the most with two playing cards from its personal reveal capability, however MODOK’s mixture with Morbius, Swarm, Apocalypse, and Hela permits extra deck variety in Discard decks alongside making earlier win situations far more in line with its viability.
Discard decks do change into a simple option to climb the ranked ladders as quickly because it snaps in your thoughts the playstyles and win situations they will ship.
