Best Sword Master Decks In Marvel Snap (August 2023)

Sword Master is a three-power six-cost card in Marvel Snap. This is an incredibly high amount of power for a three-cost card, but these stats come with a downside. On reveal, Sword Master will discard a random card from your hand. Because of this, Sword Master is a little too RNG-dependent to see play in most decks in Marvel Snap. However, if you play a deck that directly supports discard mechanics, Sword Master can prove to be an excellent inclusion!

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

Best Sword Master Decks In Marvel Snap

The best Sword Master decks in Marvel Snap are discard decks. Unfortunately, despite Sword Master's impressive stats, discarding random cards is too volatile of a mechanic to exist outside of discard decks (unless you plan on running targetable discard cards such as Lady Sif or Colleen Wing). 

Because of this, instead of covering various niche decks where Sword Master perhaps sees play, we'll break down some of the best discard decks where Sword Master is included. 

Discard Decks

As mentioned, Sword Master works very well inside a discard engine. By playing a majority of cards that want to be discarded or by including cards that can return discarded cards to the field, Sword Master's negative effect becomes negligible.

There are various different discard decks out there, but usually, three discard decks are more prevalent than others. The first of these is a standard discard deck. This deck aims to discard cards over the course of the game in order to buff Morbius. Then, players can use Ghost Rider or Hela to bring these powerful cards back to the board.

An alternative deck list uses Modok to discard your entire hand in the late game in order to buff Morbius. 

Finally, a deck that is on the rise involves not only discarding your own cards but your enemy's cards as well. This can be done using Moon Knight, Black Bolt, and Stature.
