Marvel Snap keeps pushing the envelope with each new card release, and for October 2024, Scorn steps onto the scene, a sleek addition to the game’s often-overlooked discard archetype. As fans debate her impact, let’s take a closer look at what makes Scorn both a unique asset and, to some, a questionable investment.
In Marvel Snap, discard decks traditionally pack a punch with high-reward risk cards, yet they’ve always struggled to break into the top-tier arena. Scorn, however, promises a change with her one-cost, two-power setup and a compelling ability: every time she’s discarded, she not only reappears in your hand but also buffs herself and a random card in play by +2 power. Simple enough? Not so fast. Scorn’s boost requires strategic discard timing and a keen sense of board control. Drop her in a standard meta lineup—think Dracula, Morbius, and Apocalypse—and you’ve got a team ready to rumble.
Building Scorn’s Dream Team
Stack Scorn’s deck with discard providers like Blade, Modok, and Lady Sif for maximum synergy. These cards help her hit the board consistently and create a layered effect where Apocalypse, Dracula, and Morbius feed off her discards to scale up in power. Surprise additions like Daken and Proxima Midnight can play cleanup in weaker lanes, throwing off opponents as your main force gets beefier with each discard.
Scorn’s charm, though, is her plug-and-play allure for discard builds. Want to push her into a winning lineup? Focus on discarding her early and often. Blade and Lady Sif make perfect starters, followed by Modok’s massive discard boost to keep Scorn cycling back into your hand for continuous power-ups.
But there’s always a countermeasure, and Scorn isn’t invincible. To trip up her discard boosts, a tech trio—Shadow King, Red Guardian, and Shang-Chi—can work wonders. Or, disrupt her support network instead. Target cards like Apocalypse and Morbius, the powerhouses that thrive off Scorn’s recurring discards. Disrupting Scorn’s deck turns her from an MVP into just another two-power card.
Verdict: Is Scorn Worth the Hype?
Marvel Snap’s October release of Scorn may seem like the perfect fix for discard fans, yet she’s divisive among players. For the hardcore discard enthusiasts, Scorn is pure gold, elevating decks with enough skill to justify her ultra-rare label. But casual players beware; Scorn’s effect is limited outside discard builds. If she’s your shiny new toy, make sure you have the discard lineup to back her up. Otherwise, she might just be another flash in the pan.
