A game-changing moment in Marvel Snap’s metagame unfolded with America Chavez’s significant revamp. At the onset of the Hellfire Gala Season, Chavez transformed, evolving into a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with the unique ability to grant +2 Power to the top card of the deck upon reveal.
This guide is designed to help players adapt to the revamped America Chavez and construct a formidable lineup tailored to maximize her newfound potential.
Marvel Snap: The Best Sebastian Shaw Deck
Sebastian Shaw is Hellfire Gala’s Season Pass card with an intriguing buff-oriented synergy; here’s how to build him a deadly deck in Marvel Snap.
The Best Deck for America Chavez
A Black Panther deck with Arnim Zola is excellent for the new America Chavez. Players can replicate this setup by uniting Okoye, Nakia, Bishop, Brood, Ironheart, Forge, She-Hulk, Silver Surfer, and Sebastian Shaw.

The goal of this deck is to have buff cards (America Chavez, Okoye, Nakia, Ironheart, Silver Surfer) target Black Panther. This way, he turns into an undefeatable powerhouse on reveal, which Arnim Zola can create copies of.
Cards that Synergize with America Chavez
In the current metagame, ideal cards for America Chavez are Sebastian Shaw, Black Panther, Human Torch, Multiple Man, Deadpool, Brood, and Odin. These cards will either benefit from her extra Power points or double her buff and pass it along the deck.
How to Play America Chavez
Previously, Chavez was a win condition. But now that she’s revamped to a buff card, playing her requires a different strategy. Ideally, players should try to target a buff-benefiting card with America Chavez. Cards like Sebastian Shaw, Black Panther, and Human Torch would capitalize on her new effect.
Here are some tip-offs for playing the new America Chavez:
- She no longer starts at the bottom of the deck.
- Retriggering her effect on turn six is pointless.
- There’s no limit on how many times she buffs other cards.
- Howard the Duck could help fine-tune Chavez’s targets. (He reveals the top card of the deck.)
How to Counter America Chavez
As an On Reveal card, America Chavez can be nullified with Cosmo. However, it’s usually the card she buffs that might need a counterplay. In that case, dropping Shadow King is the ideal response. He removes all buffs from Chavez-effected cards, scaling them down to their base Power.
