*Marvel Snap* enthusiasts, get ready to meet another intriguing character from the Marvel universe: Diamondback. This lesser-known villain, who teeters on the edge of becoming a heroine, brings a unique twist to your gameplay. Let's dive into the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap* and explore how she can enhance your strategy.
Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an intriguing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This ability synergizes well with the numerous negative-affecting cards in *Marvel Snap*, such as U.S. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, aim to hit at least two cards with her Ongoing effect, effectively turning her into a 7-power card.
However, be cautious of cards like Luke Cage, which can completely negate her power, and Enchantress and Rogue, which can swiftly neutralize her effect.
While Diamondback might seem specialized, she fits seamlessly into several competitive decks, including Scream Move, Toxic Ajax, High Evolutionary, and Bullseye Discard. She's likely to shine in Toxic Ajax and High Evolutionary decks, but let's explore two diverse decks where she can make a significant impact: Scream Move and Toxic Ajax.

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Scream, Sam Wilson Captain America, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, and Doom 2099. Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot are essential for this deck's success. If you don't have Sam Wilson, consider swapping him for another affliction card like Scorpion.
The strategy here is to manipulate your opponent's cards across the board while afflicting them with Kingpin and Scream. Diamondback can be placed in the same lane as Kingpin to secure that lane, reducing the power of cards moved there by an additional -4. Meanwhile, Scream gains power elsewhere. The deck also includes a Doom 2099 package, which is crucial for the final turns, as you won't be playing many cards. Aero into Doctor Doom or Magneto, combined with Doombot and the affliction from moving cards, can quickly accumulate power.

This deck is packed with Series 5 cards, including Silver Sable, U.S. Agent, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Malekith, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. While Silver Sable can be replaced with Nebula, the rest are crucial for optimal performance. This deck is one of the most expensive in the game but incredibly powerful.
The goal is to maximize Ajax's power using your affliction cards. Sometimes, you might want to hold back on playing Luke Cage to boost Ajax further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for power spikes, and Anti-Venom can deliver a surprise power surge in the final turns. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, which can otherwise dismantle this deck.
If you already have most of the affliction-style cards needed for an Ajax deck or enjoy playing with Scream, Diamondback is a valuable addition to your collection. However, if you avoid affliction decks or lack essential cards like Scream and Rocket Raccoon and Groot, you might want to skip her. She's most effective in decks that can be quite costly to assemble.
And there you have it—the best Diamondback decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you're a seasoned player or a newcomer, these strategies can help you leverage Diamondback's unique abilities to dominate the battlefield.
