The Marvel universe is no stranger to powerhouse characters, and Starbrand is the latest Hulk-like addition to *Marvel Snap*. Let's dive into the best Starbrand decks and how to make the most of this new card.
Starbrand is a 3-cost, 10-power card with an ongoing ability that states: "Ongoing: Your opponent has +3 Power at each other location." Unlike Mister Fantastic, Starbrand's effect impacts all locations except the one where he is played. As an Ongoing card, decks featuring Starbrand often include cards like Zero, Sauron, and Enchantress to mitigate his effect. While Starbrand is vulnerable to Shang-Chi, he synergizes well with cards like Surtur. However, fitting him into the 3-cost slot can be challenging due to competition from cards like Surtur and Sauron.
Starbrand slots nicely into two established deck archetypes: Shuri Sauron and Surtur. Let's explore how he can enhance these decks:

This budget-friendly deck features only Ares as a Series 5 card, which can be substituted with Vision if needed. The strategy revolves around using Zero, Sauron, and Enchantress to neutralize the negative effects of your Ongoing cards. Shuri can then amplify the power of cards like Red Skull, while Taskmaster copies that power for a final location win. Traditionally, Ebony Maw was used, but with Taskmaster's nerf, Zabu offers flexibility to play Shuri alongside Starbrand or Ares for surprise power spikes. Starbrand's drawback can be mitigated by playing Enchantress to cancel his effect and potentially hit an opponent's Ongoing card.

This more expensive deck includes four Series 5 cards, with synergistic packages like Sam Wilson and Cull Obsidian, and high-impact cards like Surtur and Ares. With Starbrand, you can reduce Skaar's cost to 1 by playing Starbrand alongside Ares, Attuma, and Crossbones. Zero helps mitigate the downsides of Starbrand and Attuma, but even without Zero, he remains a strong final turn play. The key is timing Starbrand's play after Surtur, ideally on the final turn with Zero and Skaar, though this may require some experimentation.
Starbrand's viability depends on the evolving meta, with recent additions like Agamotto and Eson shifting the power dynamics. While Shuri Sauron and Surtur decks may struggle to keep up, it's worth waiting a few days to see how Starbrand fits into the current landscape before investing your resources.
And those are the best Starbrand decks in Marvel Snap.
