Marvel Boy Deck’s Synergies
Most one-Cost cards in Marvel Boy’s deck are flexible options; you’re able to replace them with your own favorite cheap drops.
How to Play Marvel Boy
In most Marvel Boy decks, your goal is to fill the board with enough cheap drops to maximize the Power buff. However, Marvel Boy’s effect alone is usually not sufficient to win a match. Instead, you should use him as both a buffer and a buff activator. With the addition of cards like Gilgamesh to the game, you’ll want Marvel Boy to affect more cards, helping to create additional powerhouses by the final round.
Here are some notes on Marvel Boy’s gameplay:
How to Counter Marvel Boy
Marvel Boy’s ability is passive; his text is neither On Reveal nor Ongoing. As a result, countering him directly is not practical. The best way to mitigate Marvel Boy’s effect is to use either Killmonger or Shadow King. Killmonger can eliminate all the one-Cost cards Marvel Boy has buffed, whileShadow Kingcan remove the buffs he has distributed.
Is Marvel Boy Worth It?
Marvel Boy isone of the best new cards inMarvel Snapand is definitely worth the price. He’sa no-brainer addition to any Zoo deckand has excellent synergy with all one-Cost cards. Even better, he’s joining the roster in a highly sought-after lineup alongside popular cards like Blob and Red Hulk, reducing the risk of spending Spotlight Keys.
