List of the five best Marvel Snap U.S. Agent counter decks

1) Zoo swarm

Ant-Man (Cost 1/Power 1)
Squirrel Girl (Cost 1/Power 1)
Nightcrawler (Cost 1/Power 2)
Korg (Cost 1/Power 2)
Mantis (Cost 1/Power 2)
Bast (Cost 1/Power 1)
Angela (Cost 2/Power 3)
Bishop (Cost 3/Power 1)
Shang-Chi (Cost 4/Power 3)
Kazar (Cost 4/Power 4)
Blue Marvel (Cost 5/Power 3)
Ultron (Cost 6/Power 8)

U.S. Agent weakens higher-cost cards, which makes a swarm strategy perfect. Kazar buffs all 1-Cost units and Blue Marvel gives all of them an additional +1 Power. Squirrel Girl secures all lanes so that you get lane pressure right from the start of the game.

Bishop scales as you play more cards, which directly offsets the U.S. Agent’s Power suppression. Ant-Man becomes a valuable card in crowded lanes.

Magneto moves 3 and 4-Cost cards, which can take U.S. Agent to an off-lane, if necessary. Leech and Leader make sure that late-game pressure is constant, and he also avoids the Power debuff.
