Best Crossbones Decks In Marvel Snap (August 2023)

Crossbones was once one of the most popular cards in Marvel Snap when used in conjunction with Zabu. eight power for four energy is a great tradeoff, and this gets even better when you factor in the cost-reduction attached to Zabu's ability. Unfortunately, after Zabu was nerfed, Crossbones fell out of favor. That being said, there are several decks that still exist in Marvel Snap which still include Crossbones, usually to retain tempo. Eight power for such a low cost is still nothing to scoff at, despite the restriction attached to Crossbones (only being able to play the card at a location where you are already winning). 

Crossbones is very much a win-more card, and if you are ready to start doing just that, you've come to the right place. This article will cover the best Crossbones decks in Marvel Snap, including deck lists, strategies, and more!

Best Crossbones Decks In Marvel Snap

The best Crossbones decks in Marvel Snap are usually tempo decks. Tempo decks try to play as many good value cards as possible to remain ahead on board and outvalue their opponent. Crossbones, Maximus, and Typhoid Mary may all see play in these kinds of decks simply because their huge stats outweigh any kind of downside in this particular archetype. 

Zabu Deck

Despite Zabu being nerfed, the cost-reduction attached to this card is still very powerful, especially when used in a deck consisting of mainly four-cost cards. Players will want to dominate single locations using powerful cards like Crossbones and White Queen. Then, Dracula and Ghost Rider can assist in securing victory in the other lanes.

Tempo Deck 

As mentioned, tempo decks try to remain ahead on board at all times. Securing priority is vital for the final turn when playing a proactive deck. As opposed to a reactive deck running several counters, in this deck, players will want their effects to activate first. This becomes especially true in regard to Aero. By securing victory in two locations with powerful cards like Maximus and Crossbones, Aero can be played in the losing location on the final turn in order to secure victory.
