The way Ms. Marvel works is that she grants +5 Power to each other adjacent location. In order for her ability to activate, there must be at least one card present in each lane. Additionally, if there are multiple cards in a lane, their Costs must be different from one another.

The Best Deck for Ms. Marvel

An ideal deck for Ms. Marvel is an Onslaught-Zabu lineup. To create this setup, players must combine Ms. Marvel with Onslaught, Zabu, Spectrum, Cosmo, Darkhawk, Mystique, Klaw, Storm, Mister Fantastic, Omega Red, and Iron Man.

Card	Cost	Power
Ms. Marvel	4	5
Zabu	2	2
Onslaught	6	7
Spectrum	6	7
Darkhawk	4	0
Mystique	3	0
Klaw	5	4
Storm	3	2
Mister Fantastic	3	2
Omega Red	4	5
Iron Man	5	0
Cosmo	3	3

Here’s how the card synergies work:

Onslaught duplicates Ms. Marvel’s Ongoing ability.
Spectrum buffs Ms. Marvel—and other Ongoing cards—with +2 Power.
Zabu reduces the Cost of Ms. Marvel, making her a 3-Cost drop.
Mystique steals Ms. Marvel’s effect, creating two 15-Power buff options.
Cosmo protects Ms. Marvel against possible counters.
Storm blocks a lane to preserve Ms. Marvel’s buff.
Mister Fantastic, Klaw, Red Omega, and Iron Man add to Ms. Marvel’s buff.
Darkhawk is a backup strategy for when Ms. Marvel fails.

How to Play Ms. Marvel

A good strategy is to play Ms. Marvel in the middle lane and protect her with Cosmo. This way, she can grant +5 Power to the adjacent locations, bringing a total of 15 Power to the board. Players can later double her effect with Onslaught, turning the buff into a 25-Power effect.

However, Marvel Snap fans should note that Ms. Marvel’s Ongoing effect has two preconditions:

At least one card must be in the adjacent locations. Otherwise, her effect won’t be triggered.
She considers the cards’ base Cost. So, discounted cards won’t be counted as unique-cost options. (E.g., a 1-Cost Miles Morales will still count as a 4-Cost drop).

How to Counter Ms. Marvel

Standard counters for Ms. Marvel are Debrii and Enchantress. However, her strategy can also be disrupted by the goblins, Green Goblin and Hobgoblin.

Is Ms. Marvel Worth It?

Despite her restrictive text, Ms. Marvel is still worth the price and effort. She is an excellent counterpart for Doctor Doom decks as well as ramp and junk archetypes. The only disadvantage of playing Ms. Marvel is being restricted to dropping her in the mid-lane and matching her with unique-cost cards.
