Mastering Bullseye in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment
Bullseye, a recent addition to Marvel Snap's Dark Avengers season, has undergone several iterations before reaching its current form: a 3-cost, 3-power card with a unique discard-based ability. This guide explores optimal Bullseye deck builds and assesses its worth in the current meta.

Bullseye's Mechanics
Bullseye's ability reads: "Activate: Discard all 1-cost or less cards from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power." Crucially, this affects different enemy cards, preventing multiple debuffs on a single card. His effectiveness hinges on playing him before turn 6 and having low-cost cards to discard. Synergies exist with cards like Swarm (which becomes 0-cost after discard), X-23, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop.
Top Bullseye Decks
Bullseye's optimal use appears to be within discard-style decks, rather than as a central focus. Two prominent archetypes showcase his potential:
Discard Deck:
This deck incorporates Bullseye into a classic discard strategy. The key is to combine Bullseye's debuff with other discard effects to overwhelm the opponent.
- Scorn
- X-23
- Blade
- Morbius
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- Swarm
- Colleen Wing
- Bullseye
- Dracula
- Proxima Midnight
- MODOK
- Apocalypse
Series 5 cards (Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Proxima Midnight) are integral, though Hawkeye Kate Bishop might be replaceable with Gambit. The strategy involves using Bullseye to debuff enemy cards, then playing high-impact cards like MODOK and Apocalypse.
Hazmat Ajax Deck:
A more expensive option, this deck integrates Bullseye into the Hazmat Ajax archetype. Bullseye acts as a secondary debuff engine, synergizing with cards like Silver Sable, Nebula, and Hydra Bob.
- Silver Sable
- Nebula
- Hydra Bob
- Hazmat
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Bullseye
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax
This deck requires significant investment in Series 5 cards (Silver Sable, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, US Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Anti-Venom, Ajax). Hydra Bob could be substituted, but the others are generally considered essential.
Is Bullseye Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Bullseye's value is highly dependent on your existing card pool and playstyle. If you already enjoy discard or affliction decks, he's a valuable addition. However, if you prefer other archetypes, his niche application might not justify the resource investment, particularly when compared to other cards like Moonstone and Aries. His limited synergy outside specific deck types makes him a less-prioritized acquisition for many players.
