Marvel Snap: Is Legion Worth Buying?
We’re now halfway through the Rise of the Phoenix season in Marvel Snap, and players have been eagerly awaiting the release of new cards. So far, we’ve seen the Phoenix Force, Echo, and Jean Grey, with mixed reviews. Now, it’s time to take a closer look at Legion, the newest addition to Series 4.
Legion is a 5-cost and 8-Power card with the ability to turn each other location into the one he was played at. At first glance, this ability seems powerful, but when considering the counters and limited synergy, Legion may not be worth the investment.
Is Legion Worth Buying in Marvel Snap?
For 3,000 Tokens, is Legion worth adding to your decks? The answer is, unfortunately, no. Legion lacks synergy with many other cards due to his high cost. Why play Legion when you can play Devil Dinosaur or Iron Man instead? The only card that Legion may have some synergy with is Magik, but even then, it may not be enough to justify the expense.
Legion’s ability to prolong matches when played alongside Magik can be fun, but it’s not enough to make him a valuable addition to your deck. Considering the situational nature of Legion and the availability of better cards, it’s best to save your Spotlight Caches for other options.

– Magik
– Iron Lad
– Legion

This deck relies on a combination of characters and abilities to create powerful combos. Use Invisible Woman to hide Modok and Hela until the last turns of the game. Electro will help get Legion into play faster. And with Magik, you can extend the length of the match, giving you more opportunities for big plays.

– Kitty Pryde
– Nova
– Zabu
– Jeff
– Angela
– Scarlet Witch
– Magik
– Killmonger
– Enchantress
– Shang-Chi
– Sera
This deck focuses on using Zabu and Angela to boost Kitty Pryde, while Magik keeps the game going for longer. Leave an empty location to confuse your opponent, then claim it with Shang-Chi or Enchantress on the final turn. This deck requires some strategic play but can lead to satisfying victories.
Ongoing Legion Deck

– Ant-Man
– Invisible Woman
– Electro
– Mystique
– Magik
– Iron Lad
– Devil Dinosaur
– Legion
– Iron Man
– Klaw
– The Living Tribunal
– Onslaught
In this deck, you’ll want to get your most powerful cards out early with the help of Electro. Magik ensures a longer game, allowing Legion to shine. Use Iron Lad as a shortcut for any cards you couldn’t draw, and bring out The Living Tribunal and Onslaught for a strong finish. This is a high-stakes deck that requires careful timing and strategy to execute successfully.
If Legion doesn’t quite suit your playstyle and you’re looking for counters for other players’ locations, consider decks featuring Cosmo and Goose, as these two characters excel in countering opponent strategies.
