Top Redwing Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

*Marvel Snap* enthusiasts, rejoice! The game's roster of animal companions expands with the introduction of Redwing, Falcon's loyal pet, aligning perfectly with the Brave New World season. Previously, the game featured a limited selection of animal characters like Cosmo, Groose, Zabu, and Hit Monkey. Now, with Redwing's arrival, players have another feathered friend to strategize with.

How Redwing Works in Marvel Snap

Redwing is a 3-cost, 4-power card with a unique ability: "The first time this moves, add a card from your hand to the old location." It's crucial to understand that Redwing can only be activated once per game. Even if you attempt to use it with cards like Symbiote Spider-Man or try to bounce it back to your hand for a replay, its potential remains limited.

Targeting a specific card with Redwing can be challenging. Move decks often include smaller cards like Iron Fist, which you might not want to trigger with Redwing. Additionally, Scream decks focus more on manipulating your opponent's cards rather than your own. However, there are affordable ways to move Redwing, such as using Madame Web or Cloak, which can be beneficial for players with lower Collection Levels. Redwing can also lead to surprising victories by enabling early plays like Galactus or pulling high-value cards like The Infinaut.

Best Day One Redwing Decks in Marvel Snap

Last season's dominant duo, Ares and Surtur, return with a new Scream-based build that leverages cards like Aero and Heimdall to disrupt opponents. Redwing fits well into this strategy, though you'll often prioritize playing Surtur on turn 3. Here's the deck list:

• Hydra Bob
• Scream
• Kraven
• Captain America
• Redwing
• Polaris
• Surtur
• Ares
• Cull Obsidian
• Aero
• Heimdall
• Magneto

This is a high-cost deck featuring several Series 5 cards: Hydra Bob, Scream, Redwing, Surtur, Ares, and Cull Obsidian. If you don't have Hydra Bob, consider alternatives like Rocket Raccoon or Iceman. The strategy involves playing Surtur on turn 3, followed by high-power cards to boost Surtur's power, with an alternate win condition of stealing power using Scream. The deck includes 'push' cards like Polaris, Aero, and Magneto, and you can use Redwing with Heimdall to both buff Surtur and pull a high-power card from your hand.

Another potential deck for Redwing involves pairing it with Madame Web, especially since Dagger's nerf has diminished the viability of move decks. Here's an Ongoing style list that has gained popularity:

• Ant-Man
• Madame Web
• Psylocke
• Sam Wilson
• Captain America
• Luke Cage
• Captain America
• Redwing
• Doom 2099
• Iron Lad
• Blue Marvel
• Doctor Doom
• Spectrum

This deck includes two Series 5 cards: Madame Web and Doom 2099. While Madame Web isn't essential, removing her would also mean cutting Redwing for another Ongoing card like Mobius M. Mobius. The primary goal is to deploy Doom 2099 early to spread power across all locations. Madame Web aids this strategy by allowing you to reposition Doom 2099's bots and move Sam Wilson's shield. Most importantly, you can use Redwing with Madame Web to pull a card from your hand on the next turn. On turn 6, aim to play either Doctor Doom or Spectrum to either spread or spike your power and secure a win.

Is Redwing Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Currently, Redwing may not be the best investment. It's considered underpowered and fits into an archetype that struggles to compete. It's advisable to save your resources for more impactful cards later in the month or in future updates. Unless Second Dinner significantly buffs Redwing, it's best to look elsewhere for your next addition to your *Marvel Snap* collection.
