Blob is the most recent addition toMarvel Snap’s vibrant roster, a double-effect card with the ability to unite the Power of the deck into one card. But is he really worth it? Should you purchase Blob when it becomes available this December? The short answer is: “It depends.” But if you’d like to get a detailed explanation, read the following card overview. Here’s everything you need to know about Blob before his debut.
Blob Card Overview
Blob isan On Reveal Series 5 cardwith a Cost of six and a Power of four. Upon hitting the board, Blob absorbs the collective Power of all the cards in the deck—removing them for good. Blob is unique in his ability to counter Darkhawk, removing all his buff on turn six or seven.
Cons:
How Blob Works
Blob is passive in hand and deck. His effect is triggered upon hitting the board:Merge with all the cards in the deck and absorb their Power.But Blob comes with a restriction: you cannot move him the entire game.
To put that in perspective, assume you have three cards in the deck:The Infinaut, Abomination, and Hulk. On turn six, you draw and play Blob. What happens next is Blob takes up their collective Power, becoming a 45-Power card on its own.
Here are some notes about his mechanics:
Best Synergies for Blob
Blob’s best companions arepowerhouses like Hulk, Magneto, Death, and The Infinaut. However, he creates solid synergies with Hela, Sunspot, She-Hulk, Electro, Thanos, and Devil Dinosaur.
Strategy-wise, a Hela orramp deck with multiple big cardsis ideal. Blob thrives in these archetypes as they are guaranteed to have powerful options in the deck for the final round.
Who Should Get Blob in Marvel Snap
Blob is worth the price, especially if youacquire it through Spotlight Caches. However, he’s a niche card that only ramp players can capitalize on. While he’s undoubtedly a dominant card, Blob is too RNG-reliant for an average player. If your big cards leave the deck before round six, he is essentially useless.
