Marvel Snap Pool 1 decks are some of the most important in the game because those are the lists players will target when first starting new accounts.
Marvel Snap is a unique collectible card battler in the fact that card unlocks are broken down into Pools. These Pools are categorized by a player's Collection Level. Players who are at Collection Levels 0-214 will unlock cards in Pool 1, and only those cards. Cards unlocked are done at random meaning a player could unlock cards like Armor or Onslaught early on, or not until the later levels.
Still, players know that by leveling up they will unlock all the cards by level 214. So, what are the best decks to run in Pool 1? Here are the top options. If you don't have a card listed here yet, substitute it for a personal preference.

Opponents who aren't running a similar deck will have trouble keeping up with the sheer volume and power at locations. Ka-Zar is vital to this deck performing because of his Ongoing ability which buffs 1-cost cards. Players who don't have Onslaught can also opt to run something like Hulk or Iron Man.

Devil Dinosaur is an exciting deck that's based around two cards: Moon Girl and the titular card. Devil Dinosaur is a 5/3 card that has an Ongoing ability where it receives +2 power for each card in your hand. Moon Girl comes in handy on Turn 4 where players can duplicate their hand ideally increasing your hand count while also adding a second Devil Dinosaur to drop on Turn 6. Other cards like Cable, Mantis and White Queen can help increase your hand size to make sure your Devil Dinosaur is as strong as possible.
Odin Pool 1 Deck
- Ant-Man - 1/1
- Korg or Elektra - 1/2, 1/1
- Nightcrawler - 1/2
- Medusa - 2/2
- Angela - 2/0
- Lizard, Scarlet Witch, or Star Lord - 2/5, 2/3, 2/2
- Ironheart - 3/0
- Wolfsbane - 3/1
- Enchantress - 4/4
- White Tiger - 5/1
- Spider-Woman - 5/7
- Odin - 6/8
Odin decks are all about getting the double value out of cards like White Tiger, Spider-Woman and Ironheart. Odin when played has an On Reveal ability of re-activating all On Reval abilities at that location. Players should look to focus a location with cards like Ironheart and White Tiger and then drop Odin on that location on Turn 6. That'll spread a +6 power boost out and give players another 7-power Tiger Spirit at another location.
