The primary strategy of this deck is to play Ongoing cards and pile up their effects for a devastating finish.

Moonstone is a great card in this Marvel Snap Sam Wilson Captain America deck since the more Ongoing cards you have, the more powerful he gets.

The best Marvel Snap Surtur decks use big 10+ power cards like Cull Obsidian, Aero, Heimdall, and Magneto to overpower opponents in all locations. Surtur serves as the main catalyst in this deck since he gets more power for every big unit you play. Since you have so many bug units in your deck, it becomes easier to consistently power up Ares every time you play him.
It’s important to note that all cards in this Marvel Snap Sam Wilson Captain America deck have one unifying theme - moving enemy units. While Sam Wilson can accrue more power whenever his Shield moves, most of the others in this deck help in moving enemy cards.
