Mastering Marvel Snap's Bullseye: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment
Bullseye, a recently introduced card in Marvel Snap's Dark Avengers season, has undergone several iterations before reaching its current form. This guide explores optimal Bullseye deck builds and assesses its worth in the meta.
Understanding Bullseye's Mechanics
Bullseye is a 3-cost, 3-power card with the ability: "Activate: Discard all cards that cost 1 or less from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power." This makes him a potent addition to discard-based decks. His activation is crucial, ideally before turn 5, and synergizes well with cards like Swarm (which becomes 0-cost after discarding), X-23, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop. Note that the "-2 Power" debuff affects different enemy cards, not the same card multiple times.
Top-Tier Bullseye Decks
Bullseye's effectiveness shines brightest within discard-centric strategies. Here are two prominent examples:
Discard Deck (Classic Style):
- Scorn
- X-23
- Blade
- Morbius
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- Swarm
- Colleen Wing
- Bullseye
- Dracula
- Proxima Midnight
- MODOK
- Apocalypse
This deck utilizes Bullseye to maximize the impact of other discard cards. The synergy between MODOK, Bullseye, and Scorn allows for significant board control. Hawkeye Kate Bishop is arguably replaceable with a card like Gambit. Series 5 cards (Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Proxima Midnight) are key components, although some substitutions might be possible.
Hazmat Ajax Deck (Alternative):
- Silver Sable
- Nebula
- Hydra Bob
- Hazmat
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Bullseye
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
This high-cost deck incorporates Bullseye as a secondary Hazmat effect, leveraging its synergy with several cards to bolster Ajax's power. The deck's strength relies on the combination of Hazmat, US Agent/Man-Thing, and a significantly buffed Ajax. Series 5 cards are heavily featured here, making this deck significantly more expensive to build. Hydra Bob might be substituted with another 1-cost card.
Is Bullseye Worth the Investment?
Bullseye's value hinges on your playstyle and existing card collection. If you're not a fan of discard or affliction decks, he might not be worth investing Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens. His niche role might be outweighed by other cards, especially if you already possess Moonstone and plan to acquire Aries (which synergizes better with Surtur).
Conclusion
Bullseye offers a unique approach to Marvel Snap, particularly within discard strategies. While powerful in the right deck, his value is subjective and depends on your individual preferences and collection. Consider your existing cards and playstyle before committing resources to acquire him.
