Also known as KaZoo, a Zoo deck is a lineup of primarily 1-Cost cards in Marvel Snap. The deck aims to spread power to all three locations using cheap cards, confusing the opponent about which lane to play for.
It's an incredibly effective strategy, but creating a Pool 3 Zoo deck is challenging because the Collection comes with a few 1-Cost cards. Thankfully, Marvel Snap players can use the following guide to make life a little easier.
The Best Zoo (KaZoo) Deck in Pool 3
To build a strong Pool 3 Zoo deck, players should team Ka-Zar, Dracula, Red Skull, and The Infinaut up with 1-Cost cards Zero, Ant-Man, Squirrel Girl, Sunspot, and Iceman. For maximum effectiveness, they'll want to back them up with Armor, Cosmo, and Lizard.
Here’s what the best Pool 3 KaZoo deck should look like:

With the Pool 3 Zoo deck, the strategy is simple: Spread the 1-Cost cards to all three locations, win one lane with the Zero-Red Skull combo, and hold onto The Infinaut for the last round so that Dracula can discard it and gain its power. In this deck, Armor and Cosmo protect 1-Cost cards from a possible Killmonger attack, and Lizard messes with the opponent’s hand in overcrowded locations.
The following list explains each Pool 3 Zoo card’s ability:
- Zero: Removes the next card’s Ongoing ability.
- Red Skull: Gives enemy cards +2 Power.
- Dracula: Discards and gains a card’s Power at the last round.
- Lizard: Detracts 3 Power from the enemy when they have 4 cards here.
- Ant-Man: Gains 3 Power if there are 3 cards next to him.
- Squirrel Girl: Summons a 1-Power Squirrel to two other lanes.
- Sunspot: Gains 1 Power for each unspent Energy.
- Iceman: Adds a Cost to a random enemy card.
- Armor: Prevents destruction at its location.
- Cosmo: Prevents On Reveal abilities at its location.
- The Infinaut: Can’t be played unless the previous round is skipped.
- Ka-Zar: Gives one Power to all 1-Cost cards.
For a more Pool-3-exclusive Zoo deck, players can replace Lizard, Red Skull, and the Infinaut with Giganto, She-Hulk, Magneto, or Maximus.
The Best Pool 3 Cards to Have in a Zoo Deck
The third collection in Marvel Snap has six 1-Cost cards that suit KaZoo lineups. Out of all of them though, the best Pool 3 card to include in Zoo decks is Zero, which creates a deadly combo with Red Skull. Other practical options are Titania, The Hood, and Quinjet.
