Top Starbrand Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

Starbrand, the latest muscle-bound addition to *Marvel Snap*, brings a new dynamic to the game. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to make the most out of this powerful character, including the best decks and strategic considerations for integrating him into your gameplay.

How Starbrand Works in Marvel Snap

Starbrand is a 3-cost, 10-power card with an ongoing ability that reads: “Ongoing: Your opponent has +3 Power at each other location.” Unlike cards like Mister Fantastic, Starbrand's effect applies to all locations except where he is played. To counter this drawback, players often pair Starbrand with cards like Zero, Sauron, and Enchantress, which can mitigate or negate his ongoing effect.

Starbrand is particularly vulnerable to Shang-Chi but synergizes well with Surtur. However, fitting him into a deck at the 3-cost slot can be challenging, as players might prefer to use that slot for Surtur or Sauron.

Best Day One Starbrand Decks in Marvel Snap

Starbrand fits well into two primary deck types: Shuri Sauron and Surtur. Here are detailed breakdowns of these decks:

Shuri Sauron Deck

Deck List: Zabu, Zero, Armor, Lizard, Sauron, Starbrand, Shuri, Ares, Enchantress, Typhoid Mary, Red Skull, Taskmaster

This deck is cost-effective, featuring only Ares as a Series 5 card, which can be swapped for Vision if needed. The strategy revolves around removing the negative effects of your Ongoing cards with Zero, Sauron, and Enchantress, then buffing another lane with Shuri into a card like Red Skull, and finally using Taskmaster to copy that power. Zabu enhances the deck's flexibility, allowing for powerful final turns with Shuri and Starbrand.

Starbrand's drawback is less impactful in this deck, as you aim for high power plays. Additionally, Enchantress can neutralize Starbrand's ongoing effect, potentially disrupting your opponent's strategy.

Surtur Deck

Deck List: Zabu, Zero, Armor, Sam Wilson, Captain America, Cosmo, Surtur, Starbrand, Ares, Attuma, Crossbones, Cull Obsidian, Skaar

This deck is more expensive, with four Series 5 cards. The synergy between Sam Wilson and Cull Obsidian, combined with the power of Surtur and Ares, forms the backbone of this deck. Starbrand can reduce Skaar's cost significantly, enabling powerful plays.

The key to success with this deck is timing Starbrand's play correctly, ideally after Surtur, and potentially on the final turn with Zero and Skaar. It requires practice to master, but can lead to dominant wins.

Should You Use Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens on Starbrand?

Starbrand is a "wait and see" card, especially with recent meta shifts due to cards like Agamotto and Eson. The viability of Shuri Sauron and Surtur decks with Starbrand remains uncertain. It's advisable to observe the meta for a few days before deciding to invest resources in Starbrand.

In conclusion, Starbrand offers exciting possibilities for Marvel Snap players. Whether you choose to experiment with the Shuri Sauron or Surtur decks, understanding Starbrand's strengths and weaknesses will be crucial to your success.
