Marvel Snap: The Best Elsa Bloodstone Deck
Elsa Bloodstone has revived the bounce decks in Marvel Snap; here’s how to assemble the best lineup for her.
The Best Deck for Human Torch
To capitalize on Human Torch’s ability, players will need an Iron Fist-Heimdall movement deck. This deck is best because it allows Human Torch to compile 60+ Power. Assemble this lineup by teaming up Human Torch with Multiple Man, Vulture, Cloak, Kraven, Forge, Nightcrawler, Doctor Strange, Miles Morales, and Luke Cage.
Card | Cost | Power |
Human Torch | 1 | 2 |
Iron Fist | 1 | 2 |
Heimdall | 6 | 8 |
Vulture | 3 | 3 |
Cloak | 2 | 4 |
Kraven | 2 | 2 |
Forge | 1 | 1 |
Nightcrawler | 1 | 2 |
Doctor Strange | 3 | 3 |
Mile Morales | 4 | 5 |
Luke Cage | 2 | 2 |
Multiple Man | 2 | 3 |
Here’s how the card synergies work in this deck:
- Human Torch: Doubles in Power when moved.
- Vulture: Earns +5 Power each time it moves.
- Iron Fist: Moves the next card one location to the left.
- Cloak: Allows both players to move cards to this lane.
- Heimdall: Moves other cards in his lane to the left.
- Kraven: Gets +2 Power when a card moves to his location.
- Forge: Gives the next card +2 Power.
- Nightcrawler: Can be moved once.
- Doctor Strange: Move’s the highest-power card(s) to this lane.
- Multiple Man: Spawns a copy of himself when moved.
- Miles Morales: Costs one in the next round when a card moves.
- Luke Cage: Protects against negative Power affliction.
How to Play Human Torch
Human Torch requires a movement archetype. The goal should be to buff him with move cards such as Iron Fist and Heimdall while simultaneously boosting the power of movement-profiting cards like Kraven, Vulture, and Multiple Man.
In the current lineup, a recommended starting combo would involve playing Forge into Human Torch. This sequence provides Human Torch with a +2 head start and sets the stage for strategic late-game moves.
Note that movement cards like Heimdall, Iron Fist, and Doctor Strange have their own limitations. For example, Iron Fist is ineffective in the left location. So, it is crucial to strategically arrange the board to anticipate and accommodate the effects of these cards.
How to Counter Human Torch
The best counters for Human Torch are Shadow King and Shang-Chi. Shadow King sets the power of all cards to their base stats, removing all the buffs Human Torch has acquired. And Shang-Chi destroys it for good when its Power surpasses 9.
Best Alternative Cards for a Human Torch Deck
A Human Torch lineup can benefit from cards like Hulkbuster, Dagger, and America Chavez. By tactically utilizing Hulk Buster, players can double the starting Power of Human Torch. Dagger, on the other hand, can passively benefit from movement effects. In cases where movement is not essential and raw Power is needed, America Chavez serves as a win condition.
