One of the nicest surprises in Marvel Snap’s October 2023 update was a much-needed buff for Negasonic, a card with a risky ability that could cause more harm than good. Before the update, she would destroy herself and any card—including friendly ones—once they entered her lane. However, Negasonic will now only abolish the opposing card and remain on the board afterward.
Although the update nerfed her Power from five to two, the positive change in her text has made her a trending card again. Marvel Snap fans want to know if the new Negasonic is worth getting and, if yes, how they should capitalize on her. To help with that, this detailed guide reveals the best meta deck for Negasonic Teenage Warhead, explaining the most effective strategies for her.
Marvel Snap: The Best Nico Minoru Deck
Nico Minoru is the latest addition to Marvel Snap’s On Reveal card roster; here’s how to build a consistent deck around her unpredictable spells.
The Best Deck for Negasonic
Negasonic works best in a control deck with Polaris, Storm, and Sera. To replicate this lineup, have Negasonic team up with Juggernaut, Nightcrawler, Killmonger, Nova, Shang-Chi, Doctor Doom, Miles Morales, Silver Surfer, and, of course, Sera, Polaris, and Storm.

Here’s how Negasonic synergizes with these cards:
- Storm will lock down a lane, restricting enemy movement. This is particularly helpful when trying to hit an opposing card with Negasonic Teenage Warhead.
- Silver Surfer will buff Negasonic and other three-Cost cards. Since there are six 3-Cost options in the setup, the +2 Power of Silver Surfer could become a win condition.
- Miles Morales exploits the movements of Nightcrawler, Polaris, and Juggernaut to become a one-Cost option.
- Killmonger targets Nova, bringing in another +1 Power boost for the cards on the board.
- Doctor Doom is the final-round powerhouse card. He can distribute 15 Power to all three locations—five for each.
How to Play Negasonic Teenage Warhead
Considering her one-time-only ability, Negasonic Teenage Warhead should be utilized for control and destroy archetypes. She is primarily a counterplay for when the opponent’s strategy is revealed. Ideally, players should have Negasonic destroy the enemy’s highest-power or most valuable card.
How to Counter Negasonic
Because Negasonic is neither an Ongoing nor an On Reveal card, she can only be countered with protective cards like Armor. However, players who are aware of her lane in advance can also counter her effect with destroy-benefiting cards such as Nova, Deadpool, and Sabretooth—or by simply skipping her location.
Is Negasonic Teenage Warhead Worth It?
Considering its Pool and price, Negasonic Teenage Warhead is not worth it. Despite her synergy with control and destroy decks, Negasonic fails to bring a surprise element to these setups and, in some cases, backslides their consistency.
