Echo’s debut in Marvel Snap wasn’t the drop fans were eager for. However, she has proven her worth as a valuable niche card, capable of significantly impacting games focused on Ongoing plays. Now, many Marvel Snap players are uncertain about how to build a dependable deck around Echo and whether investing in her is worthwhile. This guide aims to address both questions with the utmost accuracy, helping deck builders decide how to employ her in their lineups.
Marvel Snap: The Best High Evolutionary Deck
Here’s how to create the most effective deck for the new Big Bad of Marvel Snap, High Evolutionary.
The Best Deck for Echo
Although a passive tech card, Echo excels in a Hela-Death discard deck. To assemble this lineup, players will need to team up Echo with Ghost Rider, Swarm, Gambit, Dracula, Magneto, Giganto, Lady Sif, The Infinaut, America Chavez, and, of course, Hela and Death.
Card | Cost | Power |
Echo | 1 | 2 |
Swarm | 2 | 3 |
Lady Sif | 3 | 5 |
Gambit | 3 | 3 |
Dracula | 4 | 0 |
Ghost Rider | 4 | 3 |
America Chavez | 6 | 9 |
Giganto | 6 | 14 |
Magneto | 6 | 12 |
The Infinaut | 6 | 20 |
Hela | 6 | 6 |
Death | 8 | 12 |
Here’s how the synergies work in this deck:
- Echo: Removes the opponents’ Ongoing ability at her location.
- Swarm: Adds two 0-Cost copies of itself to the deck.
- Gambit: Discards a card at hand and destroys a random enemy card.
- Lady Sif: Discards the highest Cost card at hand.
- Ghost Rider: Brings back one of the discarded cards to his location.
- Dracula: Discards a card at hand in the end and earns its Power.
- Hela: Restores discarded cards to random locations.
- The Infinaut: Can’t be played if another card has been played last round.
- Magneto: Moves all 3- and 4-Cost enemy cards to his location.
- Giganto: Can be played only in the left line.
- America Chavez: Only shows up in the 6th round.
- Death: Costs one less for each destroyed card.
How to Counter Echo
In Marvel Snap’s latest Season, Echo can be countered by Aero and Killmonger. Aero moves her to a non-Ongoing lane while Killmonger eliminates her completely. However, note that Echo’s effect continues to affect every enemy card played after her. So, moving her to a different lane won’t restore the power of damaged Ongoing cards—it will only prevent further blocks.
Is Echo Worth It?
Considering her predictable effect, Echo is not a reliable card to build a deck around. However, thanks to her good synergy with some discard decks, players can have her as a control substitute in their lineups.
While Echo is as a strong counter against Cosmo, it might not be a practical choice for most decks. This is because Cosmo is not dominant in the current META, and opponents can bypass Echo’s effect using Enchantress.
