Mastering Bullseye in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment

Bullseye, a recently added card to Marvel Snap's Dark Avengers season, has undergone several iterations before reaching its current form. This 3-cost, 3-power card boasts a unique ability: "Activate: Discard all 1-cost or less cards from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power." This guide explores optimal Bullseye deck builds and assesses its worth in the current meta.

Bullseye's Mechanics and Synergies

Bullseye's effectiveness hinges on discarding low-cost cards to debuff enemy cards. Crucially, the debuff affects different enemy cards, limiting its impact on single, high-power units. Optimal use requires playing Bullseye before the final turn. Synergistic cards include:

• Low-cost cards: Cards like Swarm (which becomes 0-cost after being discarded) are ideal for maximizing the debuff.
• X-23 and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop): These cards offer additional power reduction, complementing Bullseye's effect.

Top Bullseye Decks

Two distinct deck archetypes effectively utilize Bullseye:

1. Discard-Style Deck:

This deck integrates Bullseye into a traditional discard strategy:

• Scorn
• X-23
• Blade
• Morbius
• Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)
• Swarm
• Colleen Wing
• Bullseye
• Dracula
• Proxima Midnight
• MODOK
• Apocalypse

Key Series 5 cards (Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Proxima Midnight) are crucial. Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) can be substituted with Gambit for a more accessible version. The strategy revolves around discarding low-cost cards to trigger Bullseye's ability, then playing high-impact cards like MODOK and Apocalypse.

2. Hazmat-Ajax Deck:

A more aggressive approach incorporates Bullseye into the Hazmat-Ajax archetype:

• Silver Sable
• Nebula
• Hydra Bob
• Hazmat
• Hawkeye (Kate Bishop)
• U.S. Agent
• Luke Cage
• Bullseye
• Rocket Raccoon & Groot
• Anti-Venom
• Man-Thing
• Ajax

This deck is significantly more expensive, requiring several Series 5 cards (Silver Sable, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, U.S. Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Anti-Venom, Ajax). Hydra Bob is potentially replaceable with another 1-cost card. Bullseye acts as a secondary debuff mechanism, complementing Hazmat and boosting Ajax's power.

Is Bullseye Worth the Investment?

Bullseye's value depends heavily on your playstyle and collection. If you enjoy discard or affliction decks, he's a valuable addition. However, if you prefer other strategies, his niche role may not justify spending Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens, especially considering alternatives like Moonstone and Aries. His effectiveness is also contingent on having a strong supporting cast of low-cost cards.
