After a recent buff, Rockslide became a 3-Cost, 3-Power drop, excellent for most disruptive and junk decks. In this guide, Marvel Snap players get a blueprint for creating the top META lineup for Rockslide and maximizing his damage.
Marvel Snap: The Best Electro Ramp Deck
With Ms. Marvel and Alioth’s rise, Electro ramp decks are once again back in the metagame; here’s how Marvel Snap fans should exploit the trend.

An effective Rockslide deck is a Darkhawk-Korg setup. Players can replicate this lineup by combining Rockslide with Darkhawk, Korg, Zabu, Maximus, Shuri, Iceman, Taskmaster, Spider-Ham, Luke Cage, Black Widow, and Doctor Doom.

Here’s how the synergies work:
- Rockslide, Korg, Maximus, and Black Widow fill the enemy’s hand.
- Zabu discounts the Cost of dropping Darkhawk and Shuri.
- Taskmaster copies the Power of a buffed card (either Darkhawk or Doctor Doom).
- Spider-Ham and Iceman disrupt the opponent’s strategy.
- Doctor Doom remains the win condition.
Series 4 & 5 Synergy Cards for Rockslide
Players who own Series 4 and 5 cards could team up Rockslide with Ms. Marvel, Alioth, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Werewolf By Night. These On Reveal characters would seamlessly integrate into Rockslide’s deck, allowing for aggression and extra lethality.
How to Play Rockslide
Rockslide is a disruptive card that must be used to interrupt the enemy’s strategy. But he can do more by providing a passive buff for Darkhawk. When Rockslide stuffs the opponent’s hand with Rocks, Darkhawk earns +4 Power. Maximizing or repeating that buff should remain the focal strategy.
Here are excellent combos for Rockslide:
- Korg into Rockslide and Black Widow. With this three-phase combo, the opponent’s hand crams with four cards, preparing the board for a Darkhawk finisher.
- Rockslide and Maximus into Darkhawk. This combo guarantees at least four cards in the enemy’s hand, giving +8 Power to Darkhawk.
- Darkhawk, followed by Shuri and Doctor Doom. After buffing Darkhawk with Rockslide, a Shuri-Doctor Doom combo would contribute 21 Power to the board.
How to Counter Rockslide
Cosmo aside, other counterplays for Rockslide are Patriot, Ka-Zar, Captain America, and Blue Marvel. These cards will boost the Power of Rocks, turning them into advantageous drops. However, players could also use Rockslide’s Rocks as feeders for destroyers like Carnage.
