We have curated a list of the five best Marvel Snap cards that can be used against Valentina along with a description of how they work and why they are effective.

List of the five best Marvel Snap cards to counter Valentina
1) Mobius M. Mobius
Mobius M. Mobius can counter the cost reduction from opponent Valentina. When Mobius is on the field, the 6-cost card created by enemy Valentina will stay at its initial cost and strength, making it difficult to play those cards until later turns.
This disruption is particularly important against decks that have expensive finishers, as it makes players change their strategies. Furthermore, Mobius can be easily suited into different archetypes, particularly those that aim at seizing control of the board and restricting the opponent’s choices.
2) Cosmo
Cosmo's ability to stop On Reveal effects from triggering means that if Cosmo is played at the same location as Valentina, her ability will not even activate. This effectively makes Valentina lose her abilities, thus giving players the ability to control the game.
Cosmo is useful in many decks, particularly those that have the goal of attacking opponent strategies while keeping pressure on the board.

3) Spider-Ham
Spider-Ham can counter Valentina by turning the leftmost card in the opponent’s hand into a Pig, which retains its power and cost but becomes meaningless. When Valentina is played, she puts a random 6-cost card in your opponent’s hand, which costs 2 less and has 2 less power than it should, which means they get to play a powerful card at a lower cost.
However, if Spider-Ham is played after Valentina and attacks this newly added card, it will turn it into a Pig. The Pig simply takes the base Power and Cost of the 6-cost card while removing all the abilities. Players can also use him in the first turn to effectively nullify her in the initial turn. As a result, Spider-Ham can either deny your opponent the use of the new 6-cost card or target Valentina in initial turns, making him a useful card against Valentina’s based card generation.
4) Baron Mordo
Baron Mordo's ability makes the opponent draw a card that will transform into a 6-cost card regardless of what it used to cost. If you can predict your opponent’s play with Valentina, playing Baron Mordo can put them in a bad spot where they have a high-cost card, which is not very useful in mid-game turns.
This disruption can be very effective in decks that depend on certain strategies or combos of cards with high costs.
5) Master Mold
Master Mold's ability puts two Sentinels in your opponent’s hand, which can be troublesome because they have limited cards they can play during the turn. With Master Mold, low-cost cards can be played to fill up the opponent’s hand so they cannot use it to their advantage, especially the 6-cost card produced by Valentina.
This tactic not only counters Valentina but also introduces some measure of control over the enemy’s choices.
