Mastering the Bullseye Card in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment
Bullseye, a recent addition to Marvel Snap’s Dark Avengers season, has undergone several iterations before reaching its current form. This 3-cost, 3-power card boasts the ability: “Activate: Discard all cards that cost 1 or less from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power.” This guide explores optimal Bullseye deck strategies and assesses its value.

Bullseye's Mechanics
Bullseye's effectiveness hinges on discarding low-cost cards (costing 0 or 1). This includes cards discounted by effects like Swarm (reduced to 0 cost after discard). He synergizes well with cards like X-23 and Hawkeye Kate Bishop. Crucially, his ability affects different enemy cards, limiting its impact on any single card. His usefulness is limited to turns 5 and earlier due to his "Activate" mechanic.
Top Bullseye Decks
Bullseye's optimal inclusion is within discard-based decks. Two prominent strategies are highlighted:
1. Classic Discard Deck:
This deck incorporates Bullseye into a standard discard archetype:
- Scorn
- X-23
- Blade
- Morbius
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- Swarm
- Colleen Wing
- Bullseye
- Dracula
- Proxima Midnight
- MODOK
- Apocalypse
(Copyable list available on Untapped)
Key Series 5 cards are Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, and Proxima Midnight. Hawkeye Kate Bishop is arguably replaceable with Gambit. The strategy involves using Bullseye to debuff the opponent's board with discarded cards and then leveraging cards like MODOK, Dracula, and Apocalypse for victory.
2. Hazmat Ajax Variant:
This higher-cost deck integrates Bullseye into the Hazmat Ajax strategy:
- Silver Sable
- Nebula
- Hydra Bob
- Hazmat
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Bullseye
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
(Copyable list available on Untapped)
This deck features several Series 5 cards, with Hydra Bob being a potentially replaceable card. Bullseye acts as a secondary debuff mechanism, complementing Hazmat and bolstering Ajax's power.
Is Bullseye Worth the Investment?
Bullseye's value is subjective. For players who dislike discard or affliction decks, he might not be worth the Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens. His niche application and dependence on specific deck archetypes make him a less versatile card compared to options like Moonstone or Aries (which synergizes well with Surtur).
