Selene, the newest 1-Cost card inMarvel Snapofthe Hellfire Gala season, brings a hazardous ability that affects both players. ForSnapveterans, such toxic skills can be a gamble—they’re either perfect or downright terrible. So, the big question is,where does Selene land on this spectrum?Is she a reliable card worth the price, or is it safe to skip her for now? Find all the answers in this card overview.
Selene Card Overview
Selene isan On Reveal cardwith a Cost of one and a Power of negative one. When played, she inflicts negative Power on one card from both hands. In terms of gameplay, Selene shares similarities with Scorpion, as both cards impact enemy cards at hand with -1 Power. (Though, Scorpion’s effect happens on a larger scale.)
Cons
How Selene Works
As soon as she’s dropped, Selene targets one card from each player’s hand with the lowest Power. These cards then receive -3 Power from Selene, rendering them disruptive or diminishing their effectiveness.
For instance, suppose you have Green Goblin in your hand, and your opponent’s lowest-Power card is Iron Man. Upon playing Selene, your Goblin’s Power will decrease to -6, while your opponent’s Iron Man will be reduced to -3.
Best Synergies for Selene
Since she’s a toxic card, Selene works best with other disruptive players likeGreen Goblin, Hobgoblin, Black Widow, and Annihilus. She also synergizes well with Viper, forming a duo that transfers Selene to the enemy side once her effect is unleashed. (Note that Selene herself is a -1 card, potentially causing harm to the location.)
Who Should Get Selene in Marvel Snap
Selene proves to be a valuable investment for junk and toxic archetype players. She effortlessly blends into troublemaker decks, creating consistent win conditions. However, she is a niche card, and her worth is most evident inAnnihilus-inspired lineups. (Average players are better off without her unless they lean toward the archetypes mentioned.)
