For anyone looking to add a spice of magic to their deck in Marvel Snap, Wong is a go-to option to dominate and frustrate your opponent.

Strategy and best combos for Wong decks in Marvel Snap

Wong is a unique card that provides an Ongoing boost throughout the game that activates On Reveal abilities at a single location twice, an effect that can be extended. Some of the cards with the best synergy with Wong include:

• Odin
• Ironheart
• Hazmat
• White Tiger

With an ability that reactivates On Reveal effects at the location where he is played, Odin often goes hand-in-hand with Wong to provide a perfect boost on the final turn. When combined, other On Reveal cards at the same location will activate four times.

Two varying approaches to that tactic are Ironheart, who gives three other friendly cards two power, and Hazmat, who reduces the power of all other cards played in the game by one.

For those looking to significantly boost their power at another location, White Tiger can be utilized to add a seven-Power tiger to another location. When paired with Wong and Odin, four tigers will be added.

The best Wong decks in Marvel Snap

Wong-Ironheart

Players should consider snapping if several of the following cards have been drawn:

• Wong
• Odin
• Ironheart
• White Tiger

Focused on capitalizing upon Ironheart’s boosts to other cards, the focus of this deck is to play Wong, followed by Ironheart, and finished by Odin at a single location from turns four to six.

When combined, Ironheart will provide 12 individual boosts to random allied cards that are in play, while cards like Wolfsbane will also see their Power significantly increase if played at the same location prior to Wong entering the fray.

One of the major benefits of this deck is the variety of options it provides if one of the main cards is not drawn, with another tactic being to flood a location with Storm and then play Gamora at the same location next turn—which should give Gamora a Power increase, assuming your opponent plays a card in the same location the next turn. 

Wong-Hazmat

Players should consider snapping if several of the following cards have been drawn:

• Wong
• Hazmat
• Luke Cage
• Odin

While the previous deck focused on boosting your cards, this deck is based on reducing the Power of your opponent through Hazmat–with Luke Cage played on your side to prevent her effect from impacting your cards.

The ability to cause your opponent further frustration using Iceman and Scorpion is an added bonus, while Green Goblin, Black Widow, and Debrii will all put cards either on your opponent’s side on in their hard, which you can later reduce.

Magik is a strong option late in the game to extend into a seventh turn, allowing you more time to finalize your plays and ensure you inflict maximum misery upon your opponent.

How to counter Wong decks in Marvel Snap

The major negative to any Wong deck in Marvel Snap is, as he is an Ongoing card that affects On Reveal abilities, there are a variety of counters that can be utilized to cancel him out.

Cosmo prevents any On Reveal ability from happening at the location where he is played, while Enchantress can remove Ongoing abilities and Rogue can be played to steal one.

Lockdown decks, such as Professor X and Spider-Man, can disrupt the set-up needed for a Wong deck by closing off a location, especially late in the game when the final touches are being prepared.
