Second Dinner / Marvel

Ghost-Spider has arrived in Marvel Snap as part of the Spider-Verse seasonal update and we’ve got a rundown on some of the strongest deck types to use the new card with,

With a new season in Marvel Snap comes a brand new card featured in the Season Pass. This time around, with Spider-Verse in focus, it’s Ghost-Spider that steals the spotlight.

Unlocked right at the beginning of the Season Pass, anyone that purchases this month’s offering will get access right away, so as always, it’s bound to be a common card on the ranked ladder for the next few weeks.

But how exactly does this particular addition slot into the current meta? What decks truly make the most of this movement-based card? Well we’ve got you covered below with some early contenders that benefit from Spider-Ghost in Marvel Snap.

Ghost-Spider ability in Marvel Snap

Ghost-Spider is a 2 cost- 3 Power card with an ability that reads: On Reveal: The last card you played moves here.

Naturally, the first assumption is Ghost-Spider fits perfectly into movement-based decks, given the ability to further help move your cards around the board. But that’s not the only way this new addition can serve you well.

Classic Move deck with Ghost-Spider

First up, let’s stick with the expected. As a card with a unique movement-based effect, it makes sense for Ghost-Spider to slot into a typical movement-based deck in Marvel Snap.

Here we’ve gone for a more standard movement archetype, one that leverages many staples like Human Torch, Iron Fist, Hulk-Buster, and more. The strategy remains the same here, only now you have yet another option when it comes to moving cards from one lane to another.

Iron Fist
Human-Torch
Dagger
Cloak
Ghost-Spider
Kraven
Jeff
Vulture
Hulk Buster
Doctor Stranger
Spider-Man
Heimdal

Bounce tech

Next comes something a little trickier. With Beast, Falcon, and Kitty Pryde largely dominating the meta throughout the last season, there’s no reason we can’t drop Ghost-Spider into that archetype.

Mixing movement-based cards with plenty of low-cost drops that can be returned to your hand, the goal here is to effectively buff a handful of key players. Be it Human Torch or Vulture, through repeating combos and endless movement turn after turn, you should have some pretty powerful drops on your side of the board before long.

Iron Fist
Human-Torch
Kitty Pryde
The Hood
Bast
Korg
Ghost-Spider
Beast
Angela
Falcon
Vulture
Heimdal

Cerebro synergy

And last but not least on our list comes a novel idea from CCG content creator Jeff Hoogland. Cerebro decks have long been niche picks in Marvel Snap, and while that’s still the case now, Ghost-Spider can actually slot in nicely to the three-Power version of this archetype.

In getting almost every card on your side of the board to three-Power, with Ghost-Spider included in that mix, Cerebro and Mystique can help buff each card up to seven-Power, catching your opponent by surprise if they don’t have an Enchantress to counter.

Wasp
Bast
Multiple Man
Ghost-Spider
Luke Cage
Invisible Woman
Killmonger
Mystique
Cerebro
Doctor Strange
Shadow-King
Shang-Chi

So that’s a quick rundown of some early frontrunners when it comes to trying out Ghost-Spider in Marvel Snap. We’ll be sure to update you here with any other standouts as we get more familiar with the new arrival.
