The Snapshot was a far better MMA PODCAST than I expected. As someone who knows nothing about MMA or UFC, I now miss my weekly fix. Hope the new job is going well!
I think wave always gets underrated on the list of broken things you played on 5 to lock your opponent out. One-sided sandman for 3 was pretty disgusting in those deathwave decks
Thanks for the new video KM! I think no moment will ever stick out to me like when I cued a game of Snap in January 2023. My opponent played a bunch of 3 costs (including 3/2 Zabu) and I, foolishly stayed in. They then played Magik turn 5 and then, on turn 7, hit me with a Wong Surfer Absorbing Man. I don't think I was ever closer to uninstalling the game than after that game. Needless to say, I'm glad things aren't quite like that nowadays!
Something I always like to think about when the topic of broken things gets brought up is what would the meta look like if every card was reverted to its prime state? I can only imagine the potential of something like Black Swan Hit Monkey Deathwave, Zabu Sera Black Knight, Ravonna Darkhawk Clog, or Shuri bounce Taskmaster
As a general TCG fan, love videos like this going over the history of certain aspects in a game! You have great insight so you do good on discussion, but if I had to suggest any improvement it'd be to show some footage of the card being used. You wouldn't have to have it going at all times, but maybe just a small cutaway once per card showing an interaction. I think it'd go a long way, but I enjoyed the video regardless!
i agree with old thanos himself (plus the old stones) not quite being one of the most broken cards in the games history, although thanos was the enabler to create some of perhaps the most broken decks in the games history (in particular because of pre-nerf quinjet, lockjaw, leech etc
I liked this video. Especially close to the 2 year anniversary. Interesting trip down memory lane for sure. I also distinctly remember every time one of these cards was in play, I would always be looking for whatever deck could potentially counter these cards since I always got them after they had gotten nerfed. Was an interesting time. I'm glad we live in a time where snap cards receive balance updates quickly because going a whole month and a half with Leech-Leader back in the day was really something else.
Also not sure if it was broken enough to be on this list, but original Shuri was crazy. You could play shuri anywhere and then double that card behind a cosmo to protect your huge Red Skull from all tech including shang, shadow king, and Valk
Love this video idea! One thing that it does is make me so sad for the loss of Loki. I know he was a problem but even as a 4/5 Loki was one of my favourite cards, I loved the way it played out and how high a skill ceiling the deck had.

Great trip down memory lane ! I started playing Snap during the Surfer Season so I can't talk about the beta mistakes, but it's fun to remember all those times I cried in front of my phone 😁 Great video ! Keep at it!
Loved the video. Discussion videos are always fun. Main reason why the "showing different TCG player, our cards and talking about it" is always such a fun format. You are very knowledgable and the discussion is always great. I know you ended that series, but damn I wish I could have ever seen you pick the brains of CovertGoBlue or Cimoo.
I learned nothing that I think will assist me become a better Snap player, but did watch the entire video so it must be true for me at least that listening to you talk about the game is engaging. Nice video!
I ABSOLUTELY enjoyed this video and would very much like more videos like it. I've always thought you should have a "custom card" segment where you take card ideas from your X (Twitter) page followers submissions and critique why they would be good/bad and what impact those new creative ideas could have on the game as a whole.
Zabu was the 1st thing that came to mind when I started watching this. Great trip around memory lane. Got me thinking about other cards as well... Aero, Lockjaw, Shuri. Anyway, I love all this talking about the game while not talking about general strategies per se. If that makes any sense.
Love the video. "History of Marvel Snap" videos are important for the continued interest in the game. I vote for a "Best Deck in the History of the Game" video next. I believe it is between the Thanos Lockdown deck using Prof X and Spiderman and the OG Thanos Lockjaw deck.
In a vacuum 5/7 Annihilus that could send over 0 power stuff was one of the most broken things that was released. A big problem it had was it was actually too popular so almost every game was a mirror especially in the first week and games just ended up being about who dropped prio going into turn 5 which severely hurt the overall win rate and feel of the card I dont even want to imagine what Annihilus would be like with old white widow, acid arrow and 3/5 Viper
Nova absolutely needed its own spot. There was a race to get Nova when you hit series 2 cause everyone knew it was getting nerfed. It was just a matter of when. I think I got to enjoy it for about 7-10 days. Just enough to forever remember it.
I wholeheartedly agree. Original Nova is literally a 1 cost modern day Silver Surfer that worked on all of your cards. That legitimately sounds stronger to me than even 3/0 Devil Dino.
Great video, as someone who has been playing since release I find this list very comprehensive. I think the only cards you didn’t include that should’ve been are original shuri (that you could combo with Cosmo) and original lockjaw. I feel prof x also deserved his own slot to be mentioned, his name was brought up a lot in the vid but didn’t get his own section. Great yap sesh and keep up the vids!
Cool video, lot of "nostalgia" haha. Only thing I didn't catch you mention was Shuri? That was right there with Thanos as one of the more dominant decks I can think of. Being able to Shuri over here and double the power of a card slotted behind Cosmo was nuts.
Love this style of video - One historian style video i would be interested in is like met history: eg. March 2022- top decks are zabu darkhawk and thats it. April 2022, Discard is now able to compete with zabu, etc
what a trip down memory lane. would like to see a followup on which card combos were the most broken. as you mentioned thanos is not a broken card, but the decks that he molded were among the most broken at that time (old lockjaw version, blob mockingbird, etc)
I think this video would do well in ANOTHER podcast series. I think part of why it may not perform is that it’s a bolt from the blue. If you had a podcast that was like snap musings or history or something, I’d be interested to see how it would do after a ten episode stretch
I listened to this during work and didn't have time to write this comment so now I do: I think it's an incredible shame that there isn't easy to access data for all the previous patches and OTAs that second dinner has made. As someone who loves data I'd love seeing it, and as someone who is fascinated by all the stuff that came before my time here I didn't even know about a lot of that Spiderman stuff so it is truly fascinating to hear about. A thing I was thinking about recently, is I wonder how many completely unchanged cards there are in marvel snap aside from the newer ones, and how many see play? A lot of destroy is pretty unchanged, nightcrawler. A super interesting one to me is nico, it really feels like for such an incredibly complex card they hit the nail right on the head in the very first try which is amazing to me.
Great content KM, good trip down memory lane. I remember Loki's release, I had to delete all my decks that card was insane, then Alioth came out at the end of that season and every game I played was a Galatus mirror or vs Loki who made the game a Galatus mirror. Turn 4 after a Wave become the focal point of every game i played, do I go for the Galatus?, or do i play Alioth to blow the oppenent out?, do I play Dr Doom to defend against my opponents Galatus/Alioth?, turns out Leader the best option. A lot of people hated that meta during that season but it was the most fun I ever had with this game. Then Elsa arrived....
I think the reasoning Elsa being 1 is solid, but also ignores how literally game-changing Galactus was. I was also surprised that Zabu/Spider-Man was understated. That combo broke the game in the same way that Galactus did and with Moon Girl doubling, sometimes with the exact same intentions.
I feel like old leader in today’s meta wouldn’t be as broken. He’d be strong as hell but there’s too many set up decks in this game to make him viable in today’s snap. Back then everything was just about smacking down big cards.
i agree that elsa was number 1 because she was so broken that *you cut the collector from loki*. that is bonkers when collector could easily get to 2-9, 2-15 if you loki'd loki or whatever. how do i hammer in how ridiculous that a card was so strong that optimal deck building cut a 2-9 from the deck.
"Subsidizing Power" very succinct way to describe the strength of cards that are (or verge) on broken. Not quite "Peak Surfer" but regarding the tech that deck could run, when Shadow King was 3 power, he was the strongest card in the deck, even over Surfer.
Really enjoyed the video, i think the only card that i might call as being busted was og Shuri but i think that was more the deck having almost no counterplay it might also be that i think of that deck negatively as it was the bane of my first climb to infinite
Good video, Aero is missing in this list, was pretty broken too when she can moved all the cards. And a card that I never saw, because it was in the beta, from what I hear it was very broken, and it was Nova giving +2 to everything, reaching 14 points wide or more, thats wild.
My favorite deck of all time was negative sera surfer. This deck was beyond busted!!! It had magik it had wong and then mystique to copy it or iron man or sera. Coupled with a brood, killmonger, bishop and ironheart. It was busted enough but then added to it was sera + original surfer + inversed cards from mr.negative + wong + Turn 7. You can see I loved this deck!!! Good ol times
I think if you revisit this video format, it would be good to delineate better each position. Make it a proper top 10 (still with the honorary mentions) which I think is a catchy theme for videos since it encourages comments to discuss their own picks; is an easy format to follow; and can serve to convey hyperbolic statements which drive the algorithm. TheDuelLogs is a channel that got popular doing top 10s in the Yu-Gi-Oh! space, so it might be worth checking it out as a reference. Although their visual style reminds me of… those amateur PowerPoint presentations with tons of different transitions and visual effects, it’s still popular. (I checked one or two videos recently and they do seem more joke-y than they were in the past, but that’s more of a scriptwriting thing than editing.)
I think OG shuri was very oppressive. It was the other competing deck with OG lockjaw thanos because you could have your first doubled unit behind a cosmo and the other behind an armor. Very hard to get over the top of at the time because they were both 28 power dudes and there’s very little reasonable tech. Most people resorted to storm goose just to stop the deck from playing cards at all.
Of the "final turn slam the door" cards (Leader, Alioth, Aero), I honestly would make the argument that Aero was the weakest one. Which goes to show how rediculous the others were, but the point still stands.
For the most part, i knew these cards were broken and why, except for the beta ones, when my region was not allowed to play. I did not hit infinite until after Loki, Zabu, Elsa, etc. were nerfed, I think it was with Shuri, thanks to the power of Chavez. I like the format, but its view count must be judged longer term compared to other videos.
I think Chavez would be balanced if you’d be forced to actually play it on turn 6. It would be an interesting trade-off and an auto-include in Discard to really boost that archetype, which I like.
It’s a quibble over how powerful is interpreted, but I consider Zabu far and away most powerful because of how it shaped the game. The 3/2 iteration was strongest but the 2/2 version that lasted far longer than probably all of these other cards combined dictated card creation. We are still living in a world of underpowered 4 energy cards and overstated 3 energy cards because of him.
27:46 I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral, I've information SNAPable, retreatable, and manageable, I know the RNG's of locations, and I quote the fights, hysterical, From Conquest to ladder, in order categorical; I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical, I understand equations, both the simple and quadrilateral About binomial theorem I'm teeming with a lot o' news, With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
Original Prof X is certainly up there, especially in tandem with original Spider Man. Stand alone though? It’s most likely Zabu or even original Elsa Bloodstone. The Elsa pick may be a little recency bias but she was so good.
Original surfer was so strong, that because that was the only season pass I skipped out on and therefore I didn’t have, when I finally unlocked him I didn’t play him for over a year because I hated him so much 😂
Elsa was great at her peak (and probably my personal favorite card that has ever existed) but there is no world in which she was better than Surfer/Zabu. Surfer was routinely a 3-27 or bigger and those Zabu decks were running Spiderman, Darkhawk, and Chavez. Then on top of that they would moon girl and then double Spidy, double Darkhawk.
I really do think Thanos should be on here even if I understand why he’s not. Naming every card nerfed because of its interaction with Thanos is a long list.
Theres a huge lack of channels that just talk about the game. It's why I come here.
Yeah I like KM’s content and also Pulse Glazers to learn more about the game than just the Meta.
I miss the snapshot :(
same!
The Snapshot was a far better MMA PODCAST than I expected. As someone who knows nothing about MMA or UFC, I now miss my weekly fix. Hope the new job is going well!
It's my favorite card game/mma/dropout podcast 😢
Is the snapshot officially gone?
@@lifelovelittlethingsIts been almost 2 months so it seems like it
One of the best videos you’ve made. As I newer player, your like a snap historian to me. Entertaining to hear about how broken things used to be
The original spiderman lockout i think was some of the most absurd thing ever in the game
I think wave always gets underrated on the list of broken things you played on 5 to lock your opponent out. One-sided sandman for 3 was pretty disgusting in those deathwave decks
exactly a 3 cost which could ramp, disrupt and help you dump is a ridiculously good card
best video so far. I've always wanted to see a kind of history of snap, best decks of the past, best cards, etc. Great job.
This video was incredibly entertaining! Ms. Marvel was also kinda crazy when she only required 1 card in the lane.
Love the format! You honestly might be the goat of yapping
KM drops a video yapping about Snap, I listen.
Nice Halloween theme. Spookiest Cards in Marvel Snap History . The Tricks and Treats
Thanks for the new video KM!
I think no moment will ever stick out to me like when I cued a game of Snap in January 2023. My opponent played a bunch of 3 costs (including 3/2 Zabu) and I, foolishly stayed in.

Needless to say, I'm glad things aren't quite like that nowadays!
Even me, who never played a TCG before, saw Zabu announcement was already thinking, WTF is this shit.
I can't believe you didn't include Adam Warlock.
Something I always like to think about when the topic of broken things gets brought up is what would the meta look like if every card was reverted to its prime state? I can only imagine the potential of something like Black Swan Hit Monkey Deathwave, Zabu Sera Black Knight, Ravonna Darkhawk Clog, or Shuri bounce Taskmaster

I’d love a mode that has all the cards in their most busted states that they released in or were buffed into just for nostalgia and fun.
Cool video, lot of "nostalgia" haha. Only thing I didn't catch you mention was Shuri? That was right there with Thanos as one of the more dominant decks I can think of. Being able to Shuri over here and double the power of a card slotted behind Cosmo was nuts.

Hearing the name "Leader" still sends shivers down my spine.
Also, I actually kind of miss old spider man.
I think this was a super fun video, and I love it when you do this kind of stuff.
I think this video would do well in ANOTHER podcast series. I think part of why it may not perform is that it’s a bolt from the blue. If you had a podcast that was like snap musings or history or something, I’d be interested to see how it would do after a ten episode stretch
Original shurri during shuri red skull
Meta
This episode should have been kmshot since it’s half the snapshot!
Sick idea for a video
Best in its prime I think I would say Zabu
Best all time is Wave
I listened to this during work and didn't have time to write this comment so now I do:

This was great, I love hearing about stuff in the beta, I only started in January after global release
Cool video! I’ve been playing since may, fun to hear about old metas and versions of a cards on release
really liked this video, been meaning to watch it but now finally had the chance
Great content KM, good trip down memory lane. I remember Loki's release, I had to delete all my decks that card was insane, then Alioth came out at the end of that season and every game I played was a Galatus mirror or vs Loki who made the game a Galatus mirror.

A lot of people hated that meta during that season but it was the most fun I ever had with this game. Then Elsa arrived....
I liked the video, I enjoy the deck techs with gameplay the most but something like this is nice for a change up semi-frequently.
I think the reasoning Elsa being 1 is solid, but also ignores how literally game-changing Galactus was.
I was also surprised that Zabu/Spider-Man was understated. That combo broke the game in the same way that Galactus did and with Moon Girl doubling, sometimes with the exact same intentions.

18:42 Love the Magik mention, so true what you said 🤣🤣🤣
No Shuri is crazy
old lockjaw definitely deserves an honorable mention, as well as hela.
"this card got Nadeshot to tweet!"
Me, not knowing who that is: 👍
famous Gamer Guy (tm)
Love the trip down memory lane! 😃
Really enjoyed the video, i think the only card that i might call as being busted was og Shuri but i think that was more the deck having almost no counterplay it might also be that i think of that deck negatively as it was the bane of my first climb to infinite
Idea the best buffs in marvel snap
So the cards that went from unplayable to Great
I’ve definitely been wanting some more yapping videos. Low hanging fruit and everyone loves them 😂
Nice video KM. Keep up the good work. I love you
Everyone else already said it, but yeah: This video was fire!
Good video, Aero is missing in this list, was pretty broken too when she can moved all the cards. And a card that I never saw, because it was in the beta, from what I hear it was very broken, and it was Nova giving +2 to everything, reaching 14 points wide or more, thats wild.
My favorite deck of all time was negative sera surfer.
This deck was beyond busted!!! It had magik it had wong and then mystique to copy it or iron man or sera. Coupled with a brood, killmonger, bishop and ironheart. It was busted enough but then added to it was sera + original surfer + inversed cards from mr.negative + wong + Turn 7.
You can see I loved this deck!!!
Good ol times
Great vid. Do more. Tier list for current meta would be dope. Have 5800 tokens and not sure what to get
Side note i miss old deathwave man that deck brings back so many memories hitting infinite being lower collection lvl oh the good ol days
Remembering old Spider-Man was around at the same time as High Evo breaks my brain
100% agree with Thanos opinion and comparison to Arishem, this KM guy looks so smart (but I consider Prof X as stronger card than Spiderman)
I think if you revisit this video format, it would be good to delineate better each position. Make it a proper top 10 (still with the honorary mentions) which I think is a catchy theme for videos since it encourages comments to discuss their own picks; is an easy format to follow; and can serve to convey hyperbolic statements which drive the algorithm.
TheDuelLogs is a channel that got popular doing top 10s in the Yu-Gi-Oh! space, so it might be worth checking it out as a reference. Although their visual style reminds me of… those amateur PowerPoint presentations with tons of different transitions and visual effects, it’s still popular. (I checked one or two videos recently and they do seem more joke-y than they were in the past, but that’s more of a scriptwriting thing than editing.)
I think OG shuri was very oppressive. It was the other competing deck with OG lockjaw thanos because you could have your first doubled unit behind a cosmo and the other behind an armor. Very hard to get over the top of at the time because they were both 28 power dudes and there’s very little reasonable tech. Most people resorted to storm goose just to stop the deck from playing cards at all.
I like this format!
honestly jeff should get an honorable mention for being the best card in marvel snap to never get nerfed
You forgot Aero I think?
Of the "final turn slam the door" cards (Leader, Alioth, Aero), I honestly would make the argument that Aero was the weakest one. Which goes to show how rediculous the others were, but the point still stands.
The Baero deck was so good. I think it’s one of the first deck KM was known for.
Deathwave and Thanos dominated the first year of snap, miss those metas
Super cool video, I'd love to see more like this
For the most part, i knew these cards were broken and why, except for the beta ones, when my region was not allowed to play. I did not hit infinite until after Loki, Zabu, Elsa, etc. were nerfed, I think it was with Shuri, thanks to the power of Chavez.
I like the format, but its view count must be judged longer term compared to other videos.
Leader when first released and surfer decks were running wild….Best deck though was Thanos/Lockjaw before all the nerfs.
This is what I wrote down before I watched-
Shuri, Aero, Leader, Galactus, Zabu, Loki, Arishem, Sunspot, Jeff, Thanos, Silver Surfer.
Surprised to see no wave near the top of the list - just enabled some of snap’s most broken decks and frustrating play experiences ever tbh
Fun retrospective!
I think Chavez would be balanced if you’d be forced to actually play it on turn 6. It would be an interesting trade-off and an auto-include in Discard to really boost that archetype, which I like.
It’s a quibble over how powerful is interpreted, but I consider Zabu far and away most powerful because of how it shaped the game. The 3/2 iteration was strongest but the 2/2 version that lasted far longer than probably all of these other cards combined dictated card creation. We are still living in a world of underpowered 4 energy cards and overstated 3 energy cards because of him.
Original Silver Surfer was the most broken thing I've played in my time playing SNAP.
27:46 I am the very model of a modern Major-Gineral,
I've information SNAPable, retreatable, and manageable,
I know the RNG's of locations, and I quote the fights, hysterical,
From Conquest to ladder, in order categorical;
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters mathematical,
I understand equations, both the simple and quadrilateral
About binomial theorem
I'm teeming with a lot o' news,
With many cheerful facts about the square of the hypotenuse
I'm so glad someone else caught this reference.
km always with the best snap video ideas!
Original Prof X is certainly up there, especially in tandem with original Spider Man. Stand alone though? It’s most likely Zabu or even original Elsa Bloodstone. The Elsa pick may be a little recency bias but she was so good.
Original Kitty Pryde. Still sad they weren't able to keep her original ability, I played with it for half an hour and it owned.
OG Nova deserved to be in that list.
even though it was super busted i miss elsa and the silky-smooth archetype as a whole
+2 Nova was pretty crazy too
Great video.
More like this!
Great video! Thank you!
I realize this was along with Thanos, but Quinn Jet that took cards down to 0 was kind of busted too...
Nova deserved to be on this list. Nova was in every deck.
Dude your content is just… exclusive. Premier. And it’s daily 😮💨
Original surfer was so strong, that because that was the only season pass I skipped out on and therefore I didn’t have, when I finally unlocked him I didn’t play him for over a year because I hated him so much 😂
marvel snap moment
Loved the video.
Elsa was great at her peak (and probably my personal favorite card that has ever existed) but there is no world in which she was better than Surfer/Zabu. Surfer was routinely a 3-27 or bigger and those Zabu decks were running Spiderman, Darkhawk, and Chavez. Then on top of that they would moon girl and then double Spidy, double Darkhawk.
counterpoint: she was nerfed faster than either of them
@ counter-counterpoint OTA’s were invented to deal with surfer and zabu
Oh hey. Great vid. More.
This video was great.
Very good content
I really do think Thanos should be on here even if I understand why he’s not. Naming every card nerfed because of its interaction with Thanos is a long list.
Best card underated before the future nerf :
Storm
Nebula
Jean grey
Canonball
Anti venom
Play them before its too late
