Marvel Snap’s Ongoing archetype is a popular choice among players due to the abundance of cards that utilize and synergize with this ability. While players in Pool 2 of Marvel Snap’s Collection Level may not have access to every card in the game, they still have the opportunity to build powerful Ongoing decks. In this article, we will explore the best Pool 2 Ongoing decks in Marvel Snap and why players should consider using them.

The Spectrum Boost Deck is a versatile deck that has the potential to shut down opponents’ On Reveal cards. It is considered one of the best Ongoing decks in Marvel Snap’s Pool 2. Let’s take a closer look at the card list and understand its strategic value.
Card List
- Ant-Man
- Armor
- Colossus
- Lizard
- Mister Fantastic
- The Punisher
- Captain America
- Cosmo
- Warpath
- Klaw
- Professor X
- Spectrum
This deck primarily consists of cards with Ongoing abilities that can benefit from Spectrum’s On Reveal ability. It provides a turn six power boost, giving players an advantage in the game. It’s worth noting that Ant-Man is the only 1-Cost card in this deck, so if you don’t draw him, it’s okay to skip the first turn. On turn two, any of the two cost cards will do, but Armor is particularly useful against destruction decks. By playing Armor on a lane where your opponent has played a card like Nova, you can prevent them from activating its effect.
Colossus is a great Ongoing card for dealing with troublesome locations like Murderworld or Vormir, as his ability prevents him from being moved, destroyed, or having his Power reduced. Lizard can be a risky play since his 5-Power can be reduced to 1-Power if your opponent fills that location. Turn three gives you multiple options depending on the cards in your hand. Mister Fantastic is an excellent choice for giving adjacent locations a Power boost. Cosmo is ideal for shutting down your opponent’s On Reveal cards. The Punisher is perfect for disrupting an opponent’s card stacking strategy. Captain America is a versatile choice, especially when played in a lane you’re trying to control.
Warpath can be played on turn four, but remember to leave one lane open for him to gain a massive Power boost. Professor X is particularly useful for locking down an entire lane, often resulting in victory if played at a location where you’re already winning. Klaw can also support Professor X by boosting the Power of the lane to his right. Spectrum, the perfect turn six card, gives each of your Ongoing cards an extra boost at the last minute.
Devil Dinosaur Ongoing

While not strictly composed of Ongoing cards, the Devil Dinosaur Ongoing deck aims to take advantage of one of Marvel Snap’s best Pool 2 Ongoing cards.
Card List
- Ant-Man
- Agent 13
- Angela
- Cable
- Scorpion
- The Collector
- Sentinel
- Mister Fantastic
- Cosmo
- Moon Girl
- White Queen
- Devil Dinosaur
Devil Dinosaur is the focal point of this deck, and most of the cards are included to support its Ongoing ability. Devil Dinosaur gains +2 Power for every card in your hand, so it’s crucial to maximize your hand size. Ant-Man is a solid 1-Cost card to start with, but Agent 13 is even better as her ability adds one random card to your hand. Cable similarly adds a copy of the bottom card of your opponent’s deck to your hand.
These cards not only fill your hand, but also synergize with the Collector, who gains +1 Power whenever a card enters your hand from anywhere except your deck. The copies created by Sentinel also count for this ability while replenishing the number of cards in your hand. Angela initially has 0-Power, but gains +2 Power every time you play a card at her location, making her a great companion for Sentinel and the Collector. Mister Fantastic and Cosmo are generally useful Ongoing cards that help control the field while building your hand size.
Moon Girl is essential to this deck as she doubles the cards in your hand, quickly giving Devil Dinosaur the necessary power to secure victory. White Queen can also aid in growing your hand by adding a copy of the opponent’s highest-Cost card. Devil Dinosaur can be a formidable surprise in later turns and has the potential to turn the tide of the match in your favor if played strategically. By turn six, it’s crucial to ensure your hand is as full as possible to give Devil Dinosaur the maximum power increase.
