Marvel Snap: The Best Elektra Deck

Elektra is staging a comeback in Marvel Snap’s metagame, especially with other disruptive options like Negasonic and Alioth gaining popularity. This guide takes you step by step in building the optimal deck for Elektra using the latest game additions and provides a budget-friendly blueprint that you can assemble early on in your Marvel Snap journey.

The Best Deck for Elektra in Marvel Snap

An excellent deck for Elektra is a disruption lineup with Gladiator and Alioth. You can recreate this setup by teaming up Elektra, Gladiator, and Alioth with Yondu, Iceman, Scorpion, Ka-Zar, Forge, Shang-Chi, Green Goblin, Blue Marvel, and Negasonic Teenage Warhead.

Here’s how the deck’s synergies work:

• Elektra, Alioth, Guardian, Yondu, Shang-Chi, and Negasonic destroy enemy cards.
• Ka-Zar buffs the one-Cost cards on the board.
• Blue Marvel buffs the entire team.
• Scorpion and Iceman debuff the opponent’s hand.
• Forge buffs one friendly card and benefits from Ka-Zar and Blue Marvel’s effects.
• Green Goblin flies to the other side to create an extra negative impact.

Alternative Buff Deck for Elektra

A cheap and consistent deck for Elektra is a one-Cost buff lineup with Ka-Zar, Blue Marvel, and Onslaught. To assemble this setup, unite the mentioned cards—Elektra, Ka-Zar, Blue Marvel, Onslaught—with Yondu, Iceman, Scorpion, Ant-Man, Forge, Rocket Raccoon, Armor, and Shang-Chi.

With this deck, you aim to disrupt the enemy’s hand with Elektra, Iceman, Yondu, and Scorpion. But simultaneously, you want to buff these cards—along with other one-Costs—using the Ka-Zar, Blue Marvel, and Onslaught combo.

How to Play Elektra

Elektra is a risk-free disruptive card. She works best against one-Cost buff decks, such as those that rely on Kitty Pryde. You must play her when the opponent is too reliant on cheap cards in one lane because this guarantees her effect to trigger.

Before dropping Elektra, keep these in mind:

• The initiative can ruin her effect. If your Elektra is revealed before the opponent’s one-Cost—and there are no other targets in the lane—her destruction won’t happen.
• Elektra can be bounced. Using Falcon or Beast, you can return her to the hand and aim for multiple attacks.
• She can backfire. Targeting destroy-benefiting cards like Nova or Deadpool with Elektra will boost the enemy’s Power.

How to Counter Elektra

Being an On Reveal, Elektra can be stopped with Cosmo. However, she’s a one-Cost drop that often hits the board early. So, the best counterstrategy against her is either predicting and skipping her lane or starting the deck with destroy-benefiting cards like Nova. Also, if your opponent plans to bounce her back, Killmonger is an excellent option to eliminate her in advance.
