S-Tier Cards in Pool One: Consistent
Consistency and reliability are what make Marvel Snap cards worth the grind. In Pool One, the only 12 cards matching this criteria are Angela, Spectrum, Odin, Enchantress, Bishop, Ka-Zar, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Blue Marvel, Devil Dinosaur, Professor X, and America Chavez.
Here’s why they deserve the S-tier title:
- Angela is a consistent buff with no drawbacks.
- Ant-Man exploits all drops in his lane regardless of the synergies.
- Bishop is a powerhouse for all low-Cost decks.
- Enchantress is the best tech card against Ongoing effects.
- Ka-Zar is an ideal low-risk buff for 1-Cost decks.
- Blue Marvel is among the few cards in the Marvel Snap roster that can buff the entire board.
- Devil Dinosaur creates one of the strongest synergies in Pool One—especially when paired with cards like Moon Girl.
- Iron Man is the late-game savior who can double the lane’s Power without prerequisites.
- Professor X has one of the most potent abilities in Marvel Snap. He can lock down the entire lane and guarantee a win.
- Spectrum is currently a META card as she brings seven Power to the board and buffs all other Ongoing cards with +2 Power.
- America Chavez deserves the S-tier title, as she’s the most unfailing powerhouse.

C-Tier Cards in Pool One: Situational
In the C tier, cards are RNG-based and conditional: They require specific scenarios and prerequisites to thrive. When the conditions aren’t met, C-tier cards often fall short of performing well—and might even backfire.
The following are the C-tier cards of Pool One:
- Kraven
- Multiple Man
- Doctor Strange
- Groot
- The Punisher
- Namor
- Strong Guy
- Abomination
- Heimdall

Including starter cards, the worst cards in Pool One are as follows:
- Domino
- Morph
- Angel
- Mantis
- Misty Knight
- Quicksilver
- Shocker
- Cyclops
- The Thing
