Namor is a Pool 1 card in Marvel Snap with a potent Ongoing effect. Specifically, this effect gives Namor an additional five power if he is the only card at a location, allowing him to occasionally function as a 10-power card for just four energy. Furthermore, Namor can become even more effective when slotted into a suitable Marvel Snap deck, and this guide will detail several options for players to try.
Marvel Snap: Pool 1 Namor Deck
Namor works best in decks that priorize cards with Ongoing, as these decks can play Spectrum, a six-cost card that improves the efficacy of Namor. Fortunately, there are several powerful Ongoing cards in Marvel Snap's Pool 1, and here are a couple of builds for fans that are in the early-stages of assembling their collections:
Card | Cost |
Ant-Man | 1 |
Nightcrawler | 1 |
Armor | 2 |
Colossus | 2 |
Lizard | 2 |
Mister Fantastic | 3 |
The Punisher | 3 |
Captain America | 3 |
Namor | 4 |
Iron Man | 5 |
Klaw | 5 |
Spectrum | 6 |
Card | Cost |
Ant-Man | 1 |
Korg | 1 |
Angela | 2 |
Armor | 2 |
Colossus | 2 |
Lizard | 2 |
Mister Fantastic | 3 |
The Punisher | 3 |
Namor | 4 |
Blue Marvel | 5 |
Spectrum | 6 |
America Chavez | 6 |
As Marvel Snap players that peruse these lists will note, there are some core Pool 1 cards that should typically appear alongside Namor. Beyond the aforementioned Spectrum, those cards include Ant-Man, Armor, Colossus, Lizard, Mister Fantastic, and The Punisher, and fans should try to get them into their Namor decks. From there, players should feel free to play around with cards like Blue Marvel and Klaw to see which give them the best results.
Marvel Snap: Pool 2 Namor Deck
Namor decks get a nice pickup in Marvel Snap's Pool 2 in the form of Ebony Maw. Indeed, this one-cost card can be extremely powerful, despite its drawback, and it receives a buff from Spectrum. Players may also want to consider playing Cosmo in their Ongoing lists as they start facing opponents with more powerful decks, and here is how such a list could look:
Card | Cost |
Ant-Man | 1 |
Ebony Maw | 1 |
Armor | 2 |
Colossus | 2 |
Lizard | 2 |
Mister Fantastic | 3 |
Captain America | 3 |
Cosmo | 3 |
Namor | 4 |
Iron Man | 5 |
Klaw | 5 |
Spectrum | 6 |
To note, Namor is a bit outclassed upon reaching Marvel Snap Pool 3, and players should probably start moving away from the card at that point. However, strategies that focus around Ongoing can still be viable in the later Collection Levels, with Wong acting as a new and potent threat. Players can also add Goose and Mojo to their Ongoing decks at Pool 3 if they so choose.
Marvel Snap is available for mobile devices and PC.
