How Diamondback Works in Marvel Snap

Diamondback is a 3-cost, 3-power card with an intriguing ability: "Ongoing: Enemy cards here afflicted with negative Power have an additional -2 Power." This ability synergizes excellently with cards that apply negative effects, such as US. Agent, Man-Thing, Scorpion, Hazmat, Cassandra Nova, Scream, and Bullseye. To maximize her impact, you'll want to hit at least two cards with her effect, turning her into a formidable 7-power card. However, be cautious of cards like Luke Cage, which can nullify her effect, and Enchantress and Rogue, which can swiftly counteract her influence.

Sometimes, avoiding Luke Cage can boost Ajax's power even further. Malekith can pull cards like Hazmat and Diamondback for significant power spikes, and Anti-Venom can deliver a surprise power boost in the final turns. Rogue is included to counter the prevalent Luke Cage, ensuring the deck's effectiveness.

Diamondback is a valuable addition if you're invested in affliction-style decks like Ajax or are a fan of Scream decks.
