Its a hearthstone reference. The not both is for hand curating purposes, we want to askani Shaw, Sinister or Sassy often One more quick tip, don't worry about wingbeat hitting Sassy

safetyblade @safetyblade.bsky.social · 24/05/2026
Ok but what if the good card was Sassy all along Had a lot of fun today, had Juggernaut in for Cosmo earlier and then made the Cosmo swap both work Its that strong it gets a bsky preview Handcuff Pally returns @snapdecks.bsky.social

Oh and just re read. I meant Stryfe activating one of them can be just as good as Aurora. Or you play one of them late to finish the activation for stryfe.

safetyblade @safetyblade.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
Scarlet witch was the swapping spot originally I had legion at 5 as my neat Stryfe second target but quickly realised CGR would be good. IP was really good tbf but I cant be losing to magik atm

safetyblade @safetyblade.bsky.social · 23/04/2026
This new version of sweater weather is doing really well for me at the moment. Lot of swappable parts but switching in CGR has felt good. I was running Iron Patriot over SW but wanted to keep location control. Stryfe for Jug or CGR can be great 👍 but double Aurora is HUGE @snapdecks.bsky.social

I just started with incineroar and iterated from there over time. I didnt decide to build around anything inparticular just kept picking up stuff from opponents until I found things I liked. The scope is actually massive

Pokemon has forever been my "cozy" game and I had access to every pokemon on launch except silly mega floette which needed me to finish ZA (I have not finished ZA lots of ways to get it 😄)

I am stopping all use of untapped for marvel snap so i just want to share THE deckS stats this season from infinite only. I am up over 10% on last season sticking on one deck and it doesnt get "boosted" stats anymore 😎

Early deck share (although i worry it will get out early) Stryfe Aurora needs something else to hit, Juggernaut and Legion fit the bill. They also are great 3rd on reveals on 6 to activate a Stryfe. Askani'Son has excellent synergy here with Mr F but also with Aurora @snapdecks.bsky.social

Agree its something that bothers me often too as I want to play games out and it why I sometimes spend days not "moving" with rank because I'm just trying to figure something out instead

What I do think matters: finding personal challenges that push you further is more important. This challenge did that for me this month. For once, the system let me show what my win rate could achieve if not for the ladder system.

So yeah, I hit rank 1, because I am good enough to do it, have hit before, but no, I would never have played the 5000 games some do to hit near this for no real reason. I am proud of this, as I should be, because no one else can claim what I have this season.

Use SP and rank as a indicator of improvement yes, but don't make your target based on something which is arbitrary and out of your control and actually designed to impede you. My goal is often, have fun and solve problems, that's it.

The real win for me was proving I could do it when I wanted to. Past that, I would recommend setting personal challenges than let a game system decide what matters.

Would I do it again? Not on purpose. I know I am good at Snap, but I also know some of the best players are nowhere near top 100. Ranking systems are often better at keeping people engaged than separating the very best. That is by design, not a failure.

That deck did the same, it had surprising stats (Blade and Wolfsbane) few key tech cards (Armor mostly) and early stats which grew (Angela in that deck). This is a win by one or two plan, not win by 200 and face roll whilst on the toilet.

Which bring me to one personal highlight, I started "content" because post launch I made the non-Onslaught zoo deck which went against everyones pre launch content and SnapZone asked me to join. Now 4 years later the same style of deck is rank 1

Notice how the cards I have discussed are not Ozy and Sandstorm, they were just the easiest to play points package I could access. High Evo (too finnicky), Shou (too combo), this allows you to stay in early and flip games later. it's Zoo

Legion is often touted in tier lists as great but you see no one actually keep him in decks long, he often is the "flex" spot. Whereas he formed part of the core of this deck, for the same reason, abusing snaps. Juggernaut/Cosmo are just a forever back bone of this type of deck.

safetyblade @safetyblade.bsky.social · 07/04/2026
The thing they do "different" is how they interact with board states, and you can leverage. This is what Selene does really well and Caliban does a little. En Sabah Nur is THE GOAT at it. They allow for timing to be abused to steal cubes and wins.

On cards: Selene and “Objective” as a keyword still are not being abused properly. Caliban is starting to find a real place. Gambit is an outlier because the effect is uniquely powerful. Most of the rest is really about timing and cube leverage.

The mental side was massive. Once I got over 10k, I heavily limited games on that account and did all testing on my main. Most players do not have that luxury.

The advantage here in my opinion really boiled down to, the system was not holding me back with smaller gains to keep me playing as it thought I was better than my rank for a long time.

The biggest advantage was not having to brute force 1000s of games. It came from using one deck and leaning into specific meta interactions extremely hard. This is not how I like to play Snap, but a lot of grinders do.

As I climbed ahead, the SP gains flipped. What was helping early starts hurting later. That is part of why these runs feel weird if you look only at final placement. 150SP losses to 50SP wins for 8 cubes. Every single loss was killing me.

This is a strategy which has underpinned all my decks forever and honestly is sometimes a trap and sometimes leads to me losing out to the meta, but its how I enjoy the game.

Thats why the deck is built like it is, it is a midrange points package, which can attack each lane, maintain priority and has tech cards to suit. This is what most the people struggling with the deck have not understood, I wasn't trying to win, I was trying to beat my opponent.
