Niche cards in Marvel Snap are among some of the most surprisingly powerful in the virtual card game. There are many different choices for niche cards that withhold a unique ability to take over locations for victory, but one of the best niche cards in Marvel Snap is the Collector card.
The Collector is an amazing pool 2 card that will cost players 2 energy and provide a location with 1 power. Fortunately, this card also has the unique ability that states that for every card added to the player’s hand, except from the player’s deck, the Collector gains 1 power. With the right cards, this card can become powerhouse on a location!
10 Sentinel
Sentinel is one of the very first cards that players will have obtained as a beginner in Marvel Snap. This card is fairly decent to use within any deck, and certainly the best to use in a deck using the Collector. Sentinel is a 2-cost card with 3 power.
This card also states that a Sentinel card will be sent to the player’s hand. Instantly upon playing this card, the Collector will gain 1 power. For each Sentinel that plagues the three locations, the Collector will be gaining more and more power to take over the location the card is at.
9 Agent 13
Agent 13 is one of the best 1-cost cards that players can obtain by leveling up their collection level in Marvel Snap. That is because not only does Agent 13 cost 1 energy and have 2 power, but this card also has the unique ability to add a random card to the player’s hand.
Even if the player doesn’t have that card unlocked yet, it can still be added to their hand. Since a card is being added into the player’s hand, the Collector will instantly gain 1 power after the player plays Agent 13 onto a location.
8 Mantis
Mantis is one of the many Guardians of the Galaxy cards in Marvel Snap, and though she may not be near the top of the Guardians’ cards, she is certainly the best pick for a Collector deck.
That is because Mantis is a 1-cost card with 2 power and the On Reveal ability that if the opponent played a card at the same location as Mantis during the same turn, then the player draws a card from the opponent’s deck. This is a great way to give the Collector 1 power and interfere with the enemy by taking their card.
7 Hood
Hood is a great pool 3 card that players can obtain eventually while playing Marvel Snap. This card is great within any sort of deck, but destruction and Collector decks may find even more use out of this card. Hood is a 1-cost card with -2 power.
That seems bad at first, but this card also has the ability to add a Demon card to the player’s hand. The Demon card is a 1-cost card with 6 power! Since this Demon card is added into the player’s hand outside the player’s deck, the Collector will gain 1 power.
6 Moon Girl
Moon Girl is certainly one of the best 4-cost cards in the game, and that is especially true for cards that rely on more cards residing in the player’s hand. Moon Girl is a 4-cost card with 4 power, and she also has the On Reveal ability to duplicate every card in the player’s hand.
This is amazing with Devil Dinosaur and the Collector. The Collector could gain immense power from this card. For example; if there were 4 cards in the player’s hand when Moon Girl was played, the Collector would gain 4 power!
5 Nick Fury
Nick Fury is one of the best pool 3 cards that players can obtain through the collection level system. Nick Fury is a 5-cost card with a great 7 power. This card also has the On Reveal ability to add three random 6-cost cards to the player’s hand.
This can be a great card to have multiple options on turn 6 or 7. Not only that, but Nick Fury adds three cards to the player’s hand. That means that, with the Collector in play already, Nick Fury will be granting the Collector card an extra 3 power! The Collector will quickly become a powerhouse.
4 Cable
Cable is a pool 1 card, and a great pool 1 card that is wonderful in any kind of deck. Cable is a 2-cost card with 2 power and the On Reveal ability that draws a card from the bottom of the opposing player’s deck.
This is a great card for taking a chance in stealing a player’s card for the better benefit of gaining power on locations. If the Collector is already in play before the player sends out Cable, then Cable will allow for the Collector to gain 1 more power thanks to the card sending another card to the player’s hand.
3 Beast
Beast is a great card that resembles Cable in regard to its power and energy cost. Beast is a 2-cost card with an equal 2 power, and this card also has the On Reveal ability that states that every other friendly card at this card’s location will be sent back to the player’s had while costing 1 less energy.
This is a great strategic card to move other cards and even capitalize on an energy discount, but it is also an important strategy for the Collector. That is because Beast has the potential to send back three cards, giving the Collector an initial maximum boost of 3 power.
2 Falcon
Falcon has recently seen major appearances in the MCU, and not only that, but the beloved Marvel character even has his very own Marvel Snap card. Falcon’s card in Marvel Snap will cost player’s 2 energy while providing 3 power onto a location.
This card also has the On Reveal ability that states that all the player’s 1-cost cards are sent back to their hand. This can be a great way to strategize power and locations, and also a neat way to gather even more power for the Collector as cards are sent back to the hand.
1 Devil Dinosaur
Being the only card on this list that doesn’t actually support the Collector’s unique ability in gathering cards for power, is the famously exploited Devil Dinosaur card. This card is among one of the best Ongoing cards in the game.
Devil Dinosaur is a 5-cost card with only 2 power, but its Ongoing ability states that the card gains 2 power for each card in the player’s hand. Quickly, this card becomes a powerhouse. Because it shares the reliance on cards being in hand with the Collector, the two can strategize every card on this list to immense power.
