After much anticipation, Madame Web arrived in Marvel Snap during the Amazing Spider-Season. She is an ongoing card with the ability to trigger one movement for each card played in her lane. Madame Web's effect is similar to Cloak's ability but superior, as it activates every round for the entire game.
Marvel Snap: The Best Silver Sable Deck
Silver Sable is not the most formidable damage-dealer in Marvel Snap, but she can find a place in the META with this toxic-bounce deck.
Building a solid deck around Madame Web in Marvel Snap’s current metagame is straightforward. You simply need a team of move characters that can fully take advantage of her free movement tickets. Here's an example.

Madame Web Deck Synergy
- Dagger, Vulture, and Human Torch are primary movement beneficiaries.
- Cloak, Hercules, Ghost-Spider, Iron Fist, and Madame Web are movement activators.
- Beast enables a bounce option to replay the move strategy.
- The Living Tribunal is a win condition. (He helps spread the power of buffed cards like Human Torch across all locations, increasing the chances of securing a win in at least two of them.)
- Forge is a joker card that can amplify Human Torch’s buff from the get-go.
Forge, Cloak, and Ghost-Spider are flex cards.
How to Play Madame Web
Playing Madame Web is simple: think of her as a movement activator. You place her in a lane, and she acts like a trampoline, pushing your other movement cards away while boosting them. A strong strategy is to pair Madame Web with Hercules, creating a back-and-forth effect where their abilities trigger continuous movement, amplifying the buffs with each move.
- You move cards away from Madame Web.
- You can only move one card per turn.
- If you bounce and play a card into her lane, you can move it again.
Bouncing is also a reliable strategy in Madame Web decks, as it allows you to retrigger the same movement string (like Human Torch into Ghost Rider) for free.
How to Counter Madame Web
Unfortunately for Madame Web fans in Marvel Snap, she has many counterplay cards. Her direct counters are Red Guardian and Enchantress, which neutralize her effect. However, you could also respond to Madame Web with other tech cards like Killmonger, Shang-Chi, and Shadow King.
- Shang-Chi will target buffed cards like Human Torch and Vulture, which often grow bigger than ten in Madame Web decks.
- Killmonger is an excellent choice for getting rid of Human Torch, which is a staple name in movement decks.
- Shadow King could revert the buffed cards’ stats to the base, targeting movement cards that have utilized Madame Web’s effect.
Is Madame Web Worth It?
Madame Web is the best movement card to join Marvel Snap in a long time. She is a no-brainer for fans of the archetype. However, Madame Web is also a reliable investment as the upcoming cards like Arana suggest META-shaking synergies with her. (Consider getting Madame Web as preparation for a shift toward move decks in the metagame.)
Alexander Coccia, a well-known Marvel Snap creator, reviewed Madame Web as a must-have card for any future META movement deck. According to Alex, it's hard to envision a future where the movement archetype ignores this card, highlighting just how impactful Madame Web’s release could be.
