Wiccan was the first non-Season Pass card to join Marvel Snap in August as part of the Young Avengers season. It’s a 4-Cost, 7-Power card with the On Reveal ability to give the player +2 Max Energy — provided that they have spent all their Energy on the previous turn.

How To Play Wiccan Effectively In Marvel Snap

A key strategy while playing Wiccan is having as many 2-Cost options in the deck as possible. His +2 Energy is not enough to drop multiple big cards. So, players want their deck to include several mid-range cards to combine with the powerhouses.


Wiccan delivers when players drop him before turn four and retrigger his effect. Using discount cards like Zabu or Energy providers like Psylocke, as well as retrigger options like Grand Master, players should aim to play Wiccan early and squeeze more Energy out of him to make the most of his effect.

How To Counter Wiccan In Marvel Snap

One of the best counters for Wiccan is Sandman on turn five. Wiccan players will use him for a ramp strategy to allow for multiple drops on turn six. Using Sandman, rival players can ruin the ramping plan and limit their play to only one card, which could be devastating. Players could also go for a Cosmo counterplay, as Wiccan is an On Reveal card.


Is Wiccan Worth It In Marvel Snap?

Although it has reliable synergies with some ramp cards, Wiccan fails to provide any tangible value in most setups. The reason for Wiccan’s lack of oomph is his Cost. In most cases, he is played in round four, which means players will only squeeze +4 Max Energy out of him.
