Carnage is a staple in almost every Destroy deck in Marvel Snap. Unlike cards like Deathlok, Carnage comes with an additional benefit when destroying cards. Carnage will gain two additional power for each card destroyed by its On Reveal ability. In most cases, Carnage can easily reach eight or nine power by destroying Nova, The Hood, and Bucky Barnes. Furthermore, Carnage with eight power plus Winter Soldier with six power is often enough to win a location by themselves as early as turn three!
So, if you are ready to start using Carnage in Marvel Snap, you've come to the right place! This article will cover the best Carnage decks in Marvel Snap, including deck lists, strategies, and more!
