Iceman (Cost 1/Power 2)
Korg (Cost 1/Power 2)
Scorpion (Cost 2/Power 2)
Maximus (Cost 2/Power 6)
Debrii (Cost 3/Power 3)
Polaris (Cost 3/Power 5)

Rescue (Cost 4/Power 4)
Jessica Jones (Cost 4/Power 5)
Darkhawk (Cost 5/Power 3)
Doctor Doom (Cost 6/Power 5)

Iceman raises the cost of your opponent’s key cards, which may slow down their powerful card play. Scorpion cuts the Power of all cards in your opponent’s hand, which influences Taskmaster’s target value. Debrii fills lanes with rocks. Polaris can swap out key cards and bust combos, and Shang-Chi guarantees Taskmaster’s high-power card gets destroyed before copying its power.

Yellowjacket (Cost 0/Power 2)
Wasp (Cost 0/Power 1)
Chavez (Cost 1/Power 2)
Titania (Cost 1/Power 5)
Goose (Cost 2/Power 2)

Cosmo (Cost 3/Power 3)
Brood (Cost 3/Power 2)
Sandman (Cost 4/Power 1)

Goose blocks high-cost cards from being played in key lanes, often preventing Taskmaster from playing altogether. Cosmo stops Taskmaster's On Reveal ability, ensuring it can't copy another card's power. By spreading consistent power with Brood, Blue Marvel and Mister Fantastic, you control multiple lanes, making it tough for Taskmaster to win the game alone.

Nova (Cost 1/Power 1)
Bucky Barnes (Cost 2/Power 1)

Taskmaster (Cost 5/Power 0)
Arnim Zola (Cost 6/Power 0)
Death (Cost 8/Power 12)
Nimrod (Cost 5/Power 6)

Cards like Killmonger and Deathlok can remove weak units to fuel Death. Wave can force opponents into tricky moves, making it difficult for them to play Taskmaster with a high-power card. Arnim Zola can destroy and multiply Nimrod or another strong card, applying pressure in multiple lanes and challenging Taskmaster’s advantage in just one lane.

4) Location

Spider-Man (Cost 5/Power 4)
Professor X (Cost 5/Power 3)
Magneto (Cost 6/Power 12)
Hulk (Cost 6/Power 12)

Storm and Professor X can close off lanes early, limiting what the opponent can do and forcing Taskmaster to play in less effective areas. Polaris and Magneto can change the opponent's positions, pulling key cards out of play. If the opponent plays a strong card before Taskmaster, Shang-Chi can take it out, stopping Taskmaster's main strategy.

5) High-power

Echo (Cost 1/Power 2)

Doctor Doom (Cost 6/Power 5)
Odin (Cost 6/Power 8)
Magneto (Cost 6/Power 12)
Leader (Cost 6/Power 3)

Hazmat works well with Luke Cage to lower enemy power while protecting your cards from harm, reducing the power Taskmaster can copy. Wong doubles Hazmat's debuff effect, making Taskmaster less dangerous. Leader can match the Taskmaster's output in the late game while keeping control of the board.

This Marvel Snap Taskmaster counter deck wins by outsmarting Taskmaster setups and using buffs from Blue Marvel, Iron Man, and Doctor Doom to maintain steady lane control.
