Infinite Watch
With the new season just a few days in and many players aiming to achieve that infinite rank, there are numerous options available to choose from. Let’s take a look at some ideas shared by community members, as well as some data-driven options for this season’s Infinite Watch.
Data Driven
As the new season begins, certain decks consistently rise to the top of the meta-game due to their effectiveness against both humans and bots, allowing players to gain significant cube advantages quickly. The decks that typically dominate include Mister Negative and Discard combo decks, while Destroy decks usually see less representation but also do well. Both Mister Negative and Discard are strong options with clear snap conditions, making it easier to climb to Infinite rank. Additionally, they perform well against bots, often leading to easy 8-cube wins if faced with one.
Here are the most common versions of these decks:
Mister Negative
Discard
With the introduction of Moira X into Marvel Snap, classic destroy has made a good resurgence because multiple copies of a destroy card or a Death is just amazing.
Here is currently the most popular list to use if you have picked up Moira X.
Destroy
Outside of these typical options that have been around for a long time and have shown season to season they are good for climbing, the meta is pretty wide open.
If you like combo-type decks that have a potential to high-roll the majority of the time, then this meta game is pretty good for you. From Hela to Pixie to Tribunal, there are a myriad of combo-type decks that are producing huge numbers and a lot of wins on the climb.
Hela
Pixie Patriot
Tribunal
Outside of playing combo-type decks, Surfer is probably the most popular archetype, especially with the season pass card Viv Vision being a 3-cost card. Two main versions are running around, with one taking the typical surfer approach of playing mainly 3-cost cards and capping out with a 4-cost like Gwenpool or Galacta, and the other is a heavier build that is using Wiccan and an assortment of 4-cost cards with Surfer as just a good general buff card for the final turn.
Surfer
Surfer Wiccan
Last but certainly not least is Victoria Hand decks. Victoria Hand decks have been a go-to for players climbing to infinite the last couple of seasons, and there are no signs that this is going to stop this season. Especially with Moira X being a new card, there is a lot more room for experimentation as well as running what has been proven to work.
Victoria Hand
VHand Moira X
Some other options are floating around that include Moon Girl or She-Hulk, or even Sera Control-type Victoria hand decks. With the number of cards that create cards in the game, Victoria Hand is starting to become a major archetype and splash-able, sub-package in decks.
Community Choices
The first week of the season is always a fun time because of all the different players posting when they make infinite. Most of the time, this includes the deck that they used to get there and a small blurb about how the climb went. Here is a good selection from the community with varied SP and ladder rankings:
I am seeing a lot of Wiccan in these posts, as well as Arishem starting to show back up. With a lot of combo running around the Sauron deck located above is a pretty intriguing option, as well as the “Tech Hell” trying to go against the meta game as best they can. Personally, I'd be more than happy to give any of these decks a shot when trying to finish my climb.
JFSnap’s Deck of Choice
While I want everyone to get to infinite, my personal deck choice is not for everyone. However, if you are up for a semi-challenge, feel free to try out my latest Selene Cope list:
Selene Cope 60
Selene Cope 61
Selene Cope 60 is a slightly different version from a clog list that was running around using Yellowjacket and Shadowking. Laufey is actually a really nice card in a clog-type deck, so even if you don’t try this out, but like clog Laufey is a good idea. Selene Cope 61 is just a hilarious deck to me because it can feel random at times for the opponent, because of Luna, but also Titania Goblin is still as solid as ever.
Conclusion
There are many different options to make your climb to infinite, and plenty of options not covered here, like Move Bounce with the new card Sparky, or even Cerebro 2 or 3 with the new Omega Sentinel. However, currently the most popular decks are the ones listed above, so if you are planning on making an infinite run this weekend, I would make sure to be aware of these decks and potential matchups with the deck that you decide to play.
