She acts as a free drop if kept in your hand for one round and there's an empty slot on the board. This guide assists in building the optimal deck for Makkari in Marvel Snap's current metagame — despite her underwhelming debut and performance below expectations.

Best Deck For Makkari In Marvel Snap
To minimize potential drawbacks, utilize Makkari in a traditional Silver Surfer buff deck that's enhanced with Gilgamesh. Replicate this setup by combining Makkari, Gilgamesh, and Silver Surfer along with the following cards: Nova, Storm, Killmonger, Brood, Juggernaut, Wong, Sera, Odin, and Mister Fantastic.
Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
Makkari | 3 | 4 |
Silver Surfer | 3 | 2 |
Gilgamesh | 5 | 9 |
Nova | 1 | 1 |
Brood | 3 | 2 |
Mister Fantastic | 3 | 2 |
Storm | 3 | 2 |
Killmonger | 3 | 3 |
Juggernaut | 3 | 3 |
Wong | 4 | 2 |
Sera | 5 | 4 |

Synergy-wise, here’s how the deck works:
- Makkari offers a free 3-Cost card that Silver Surfer can buff.
- Other 3-Cost cards (Storm, Killmonger, Brood, Juggernaut, and Mister Fantastic) provide additional options for Silver Surfer's buffs.
- Gilgamesh benefits from Silver Surfer's buffs, gaining +1 Power for each buffed card.
- Odin and Wong assist in triggering buff effects again, maximizing Power output.
- Sera discounts cards, enabling more buff-oriented characters to be played.
How To Play Makkari Effectively In Marvel Snap
Makkari's RNG-based ability complicates strategic planning. The most effective approach is to integrate her into a deck that gains from a guaranteed 3-Cost drop, like the Silver Surfer deck outlined in this guide. It's crucial to consider potential board clogging issues with Makkari decks, as she requires at least one empty slot to activate her effect.

How To Counter Makkari In Marvel Snap
Countering Makkari directly is challenging due to her automatic drop one round after being drawn. However, many decks incorporate Makkari into buff-focused strategies, such as the Silver Surfer pack. A strong counterstrategy involves utilizing Shadow King and Shang-Chi against Makkari.Shadow King can neutralize the enhanced Power of key enemy cards, while Shang-Chi excels at removing any cards exceeding 10 Power.
Is Makkari Worth It?
While Makkari displays versatile synergy, she falls short as an optimal Marvel Snap release. She embodies the "Jack of all trades, master of none" archetype, seamlessly fitting into most decks but frequently yielding underwhelming results. With superior cards slated for release in the coming weeks, Marvel Snap enthusiasts are encouraged to postpone investing in Makkari and conserve their Spotlight Keys for more META-friendly options — unless diversifying their collection and exploring alternative playstyles is their primary goal.
