Best Mantis Decks In Marvel Snap (August 2023)

Mantis is a one-cost two-power card in Marvel Snap. Mantis, like the other Guardians of the Galaxy cards in Marvel Snap, has an ability that is dependent on your opponent playing a card at the same location on the turn Mantis is revealed. Should Mantis' ability activate, she will draw a card from your opponent's deck and add it to your hand. 

So, if you are ready to start using Mantis in Marvel Snap, you've come to the right place! This article will cover the best Mantis decks in Marvel Snap, including deck lists, strategies, and more!

Best Mantis Decks In Marvel Snap

The best Mantis decks in Marvel Snap are Devil Dinosaur decks. Mantis is a great inclusion in any early game Devil Dinosaur, thanks to the card acquisition she provides. Unfortunately, as soon as you exit pool one or pool two, Mantis' viability falls off immensely. In a competitive scene, Mantis will rarely, if ever, be played. 

Outside of Devil Dinosaur decks, there are several niche decks where Mantis can see various amounts of play. We'll break down everything you need to know about using Mantis in Marvel Snap.

Devil Dinosaur Deck

Devil Dinosaur decks require players to keep their hands topped up at all times. Mantis seems like the perfect inclusion into a deck like this. However, Mantis is almost completely eclipsed by Agent 13. On paper, Mantis taking a card from your opponent's deck is better than Agent 13 giving you a random card. However, Mantis' ability is tied to you predicting (usually on turn one) where your opponent will play a card. 

Using Mantis throughout the early stages of Marvel Snap will do wonders for your account, but you should probably upgrade to Agent 13 as soon as possible.

Card Disruption Deck 

While not incredibly powerful, there are several decks that seek to disrupt your opponent's hand and deck by forcibly removing their cards. This can be done in a variety of different ways. Cards like Mantis and Cable are great for swiping enemy cards and adding them to your hand. Alternatively, cards like Moon Knight and Black Bolt are great for discarding cards from your enemy's hand.
