Marvel Snap: The Best Nimrod Deck

A recent Marvel Snap update addressing synergies between The Phoenix Force and Multiple Man has breathed new life into Nimrod decks, which were almost forgotten. With the added support from Multiple Man, Nimrod has become a reliable win condition once more. Additionally, Arnim Zola has made a comeback in the META, maximizing the power potential of the setup. In good news, this guide will walk you through the process of building the best deck for Nimrod and making the most of the recent changes.

The Best Deck for Nimrod

As a destruction-benefiting card, Nimrod performs best in a Shuri-Arnim Zola deck. You can replicate this setup by pairing the said cards (Nimrod, Shuri, Arnim Zola) with Venom, Nova, Deathlok, Carnage, Forge, Cloak, Multiple Man, and The Phoenix Force.

The deck synergies are as follows:

• Venom, Carnage, Deathlok, and Arnim Zola are destroyer cards.
• Nova, Wolverine, and Nimrod are destruction beneficiaries.
• Shuri and Forge are the primary buff initiators.
• The Phoenix Force and Multiple Man are the backup combo. (If you merge the two, you will get movable Multiple Man cards that duplicate per move.)
• Cloak is the Joker card for when movement becomes necessary. (You can replace him with Ghost-Spider.)

How to Play Nimrod

Nimrod serves as a win condition in the late game, a Power distributor for other lanes. Playing Nimrod involves strategic preparation both on the board and in your hand. On the board, ensure you have two empty slots in different locations. In your hand, focus on buffing Nimrod before his potential destruction.

Prime combos include the following:

• Shuri into Nimrod before destruction. This way, you will have three 12-Power Nimrods on the board.
• Nimrod into Arnim Zola. The combo creates four clones of Nimrod.
• Nimrod into The Phoenix Force. After the merge, you will have a moveable Nimrod to help distribute Power accurately.

How to Counter Nimrod

Since his effect necessitates destruction, you can counter Nimrod with Armor. She will nullify destroy cards, preventing Nimrod from cloning. Another way to counter Nimrod is by using Cosmo. She blocks Nimrod’s destroyers before they’re revealed. Also, Aero can mess up Nimrod’s plan by moving him to a different spot.
