Due to Blob’s emergence in the metagame, Magneto has seen a resurgence in popularity in Marvel Snap decks. However, the traditional use of Magneto as a control card is no longer viable in the current META.
Instead, this guide focuses on building a new deck around Magneto by leveraging the synergies with the powerful cards Blob and Hela. Learn how to create an effective Magneto deck that maximizes his Power without directly playing him.
Marvel Snap: The Best Havok Deck
Havok has joined the roster of Marvel Snap cards with an Energy-restraining effect that’s actually quite useful in these two new decks.
The Best Deck for Magneto
In the new metagame, Magneto works best in a Hela-Blob deck. You can replicate this setup by combining these three cards (Magneto, Hela, and Blob) with Blade, Jubilee, Giganto, Modok, Quicksilver, Armor, The Infinaut, Lady Sif, and Black Knight.

Here’s how the cards synergize:
- Magneto — and other 6-Cost drops — become feeders. You either feed them to Blob in round six or discard them to be resurrected by Hela.
- Blade, Modok, and Lady Sif help discard big cards.
- Jubilee brings power to the board.
- Armor protects the Blob or Hela lane.
- Black Knight benefits from the discards.
- Quicksilver is there to ensure more powerful cards remain in the deck.
A good combo for Magneto is Wave, as she can drop the Cost of big cards for one turn. Another consistent card for this deck is Lockjaw, which can bring out a formidable card at a much lower cost.
How to Play Magneto
Previously, Magneto was an excellent choice for control decks, as he could move all 3- and 4-Cost enemy cards. However, as of the recent changes, Magneto works best as a passive buff card in Hela or Blob decks. So, the best way to play him is to keep him in the deck or discard him.
How to Counter Magneto
Countering Magneto in Marvel Snap can be tricky due to his synergy with other powerful cards in decks like Hela and Blob. While individual card counters like Shang-Chi or Cosmo can help, a more strategic approach involves disrupting the overall strategy. In this case, including Shadow King in your deck can be effective, as he can remove Blob's buff gained from Magneto and other potent cards.
