Shadow King disrupts Devil Dinosaur's ability by removing the stacked power and turning him to his base power of 3. Electro increases energy and allows you to play heavy cards like Doctor Doom on Turn 5 to apply pressure in all lanes.
Kang can allow you to rewind the fifth turn to play disruptive mobile cards like Magneto or Vision in the last turns to put the dominating cards in unfavorable lanes.

Ronan the Accuser turns the game around on Devil Dinosaur by taking advantage of the opponent having a large hand. Master Mold improves this synergy by making the opponent add Sentinels, which fills their hand. Green Goblin can flood enemy locations, and Storm is used to secure a lane. Mystique copies Ronan’s ongoing effect so that you can dominate two lanes.
5) Flood
The cards in this Devil Dinosaur counter deck in Marvel Snap are:
- The Hood (Cost 1/Power -3)
- Kingpin (Cost 1/Power 2)
- Korg (Cost 1/Power 2)

Debrii’s effect of being able to put out multiple rocks is especially annoying against Devil Dinosaur decks because it prevents them from positioning high-power cards well.

Polaris positions key support units such as Moon Girl into unfavorable positions, and Spider-Woman reduces enemy's Power.
