Giganto hasn’t always been a popular choice in the Marvel Snap metagame due to his restrictive text, making consistent wins challenging. However, with the introduction of Blob and the emergence of Hela, Giganto has found a resurgence, becoming a more common presence in PvP matches. This guide provides a blueprint for building the most effective Giganto deck, enabling you to capitalize on his formidable Power and dominate the current META.
Marvel Snap: The Best Magneto Deck
Now that Blob is trending in the Marvel Snap universe, Magneto is once again a hot topic; here’s how to combine these two cards in a META deck.
The Best Marvel Snap Deck for Giganto
In the new metagame, Giganto is the best fit for a Blob-Hela deck. To assemble this setup, have him teamed up with Hela and Blob as the main combos. Complete the deck with Magneto, Modok, Okoye, Quicksilver, Blade, Lady Sif, Ghost Rider, The Infinaut, and The Living Tribunal.

Explore the card synergies here:
- Giganto is a feeder. You can either feed him to Hela through discard or to Blob by simply keeping him in the deck.
- Magneto and The Infinaut are the alternative feeders. You should keep them in for Blob or discard them for Hela.
- Modok, Blade, and Lady Sif are discard operators. You need them to pull off the Hela strategy.
- The Living Tribunal is a win condition. You use him to distribute Power because Blob and Hela might create imbalanced lanes.
- Quicksilver and Okoye keep the deck full. They are there to ensure big cards are drawn later.
- Ghost Rider is the Joker card. If the strategy fails, you can resurrect at least one discarded card with him.
How to Play Giganto
Giganto is a restrictive card: You can only drop him in the left lane. To maximize his effectiveness, play Giganto as a passive buff. In a Blob-Hela deck, Giganto is either discarded for Hela or fed to Blob. This deliberate approach minimizes his disruption, guaranteeing his role as a reliable attacker when needed.
How to Counter Giganto
Giganto is a predictable drop: He is a left-lane six-Cost card. When anticipating your opponent’s potential use of Giganto as a late-game win condition, countering with Shang-Chi is an effective strategy. Giganto’s high base stat triggers Shang-Chi’s effect, leading to his instant destruction.
In the current META, many players use Giganto as a feeder. Consequently, preparing to counter Hela and Blob rather than directly engaging Giganto is advisable. For this purpose, your top choices are Shadow King and Cosmo. Shadow King can nullify Blob’s buff, while Cosmo has the ability to prevent Hela’s resurrection.
