Maximus is a solid card in Marvel Snap that sees play in a variety of different decks. Providing a whopping seven power for only three energy, Maximus is able to win locations early and grant you turn priority. The caveat to playing Maximus is that his On Reveal ability will allow your opponent to draw two cards. Card draw is very powerful in Marvel Snap, and giving your opponent not a one but a two-card advantage over you is very risky.
So, does the downside of Maximus's ability outweigh his overall power? Let's find out as we break down the best Maximus decks in Marvel Snap. This article will cover deck lists, strategies, and more to help you reach Infinite using Maximus!

Best Maximus Decks In Marvel Snap
The best Maximus decks in Marvel Snap are those that need to win locations early to gain priority, those that can negate his effect somehow, or those that actively want your opponent's hand to be full (to prevent them from drawing more or to activate abilities like Ronan, The Accuser).
Maximus is a very versatile card and, while never a primary win condition, is a solid option in most cases with not much replacement. Very few cards in Marvel Snap provide such high power for such a low cost, and saving Maximus for the end of the game is another great strategy to avoid his downside.
Silver Surfer Deck
Despite being nerfed, it would be remiss not to discuss Silver Surfer decks - the archetype which arguably catapulted Maximus into popularity. Maximus is great in any kind of Silver Surfer engine, usually being saved for the final turn to avoid the drawback while still providing you with seven power to be buffed.

Toxic Sera Control Deck
Maximus has found a stable home in the ever-popular Sera control archetype. This deck runs several counters cards, such as Shang-Chi, Enchantress, and Killmonger in order to stamp out your opponent's game plan. Additionally, a Luke Cage and Hazmat package has been added along with cards like Typhoid Mary to provide huge stats for a very low cost. Maximus plays a similar role as Typhoid Mary and Lizard, providing a solid seven power for two energy (so long as Sera is in play) on the final turn dump.
