Kitty Pryde is a one-Cost 0-Power card from Marvel Snap’s Series 5. She has the ability to return to the player’s hand with one extra Power at the end of each round. This is a powerful effect, and players will definitely want to consider incorporating it into their Marvel Snap deck. This guide explains how to capitalize on Kitty Pryde’s buff, creating a consistent bounce lineup for Marvel Snap’s metagame while also making the most out of Kitty Pryde's powerful ability. In addition, this guide will also cover how players can counter Kitty Pryde as well.
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 Kitty Pryde
Considering her passive ability, Kitty Pryde thrives in an Angela-Beast bounce deck. To create this lineup, players will need Kitty Pryde, Angela, Beast, Bast, Bishop, Mobius, Hit-Monkey, Elsa Bloodstone, Moon Girl, Luke Cage, The Collector, and America Chavez.

Elsa Bloodstone | 2 | 2 |
Bast | 1 | 1 |

Here’s how each card synergizes with Kitty Pryde:
- Kitty Pryde: Returns to hand after each turn with +1 Power. She can buff Angela multiple times, too.
- Beast: Returns cards in its location to hand with -1 Cost.
- Bast: Sets the Power of cards at hand to three.
- Angela: Gets +1 Power each time a card is played to her location. (Even if it’s a returning card.)
- Bishop: Gets +1 Power for each played card regardless of the location.
- Luke Cage: Protects buffed cards’ Power.
- Elsa Bloodstone: After a card fills her location, it gets +2 Power.
- Mobius M. Mobius: Protects all cards’ Cost.
- Hit-Monkey: Gains +2 Power for each friendly card played this turn.
- The Collector: Gains +1 Power for each card that returns or enters the hand, except those drawn from the deck.
- Moon Girl: Duplicates the hand.
- America Chavez: Always shows up in turn six.
How to Play Kitty Pryde
Kitty Pryde synergizes with the bounce archetype. So, to exploit her power, players will need to team her up with bounce-benefiting cards like Angela. This way, they can play a low-Cost, high-Power card that buffs the board with no risk.
In the current lineup, the goal should be to hit Kitty Pryde with Beast to zero down her Cost. Then, players should combine Kitty and Angela while maximizing the Power of Hit-Monkey, Bishop, and The Collector and protecting buffed lanes with Luke Cage.
How to Counter Kitty Pryde
The ideal cards to counter Kitty Pryde are Sandman and Shadow King. Sandman limits the opponent to playing only one card per turn, which disrupts their Power-distribution strategy. And Shadow King debuffs all maxed-out cards, reversing their Power to the base form.
