How Bullseye Works in Marvel Snap
Bullseye, a 3-cost card with 3 power, features an ability that states: “Activate: Discard all cards that cost 1 or less from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power.” This makes Bullseye a formidable addition to discard-style decks, especially when paired with cards like Luke Cage to counter his effects.
When played on turn 5 or earlier, activating Bullseye allows you to discard any 1 or 0-cost cards in your hand, which can include cards like Swarm that may have been discounted to 0 cost after being discarded previously. Bullseye synergizes well with cards such as X-23 and Hawkeye Kate Bishop, although these combinations have not been widely discussed.
It's important to note that Bullseye, like other Activate cards, loses effectiveness if played on the final turn due to its 3-cost nature. The key to his ability is the phrase “different enemy cards,” ensuring that each debuff affects a unique card, preventing multiple hits on the same target. At its best, Bullseye can serve as a broad -2 power debuff across your opponent's board, aiding in winning lanes by targeting multiple cards.

Bullseye is most effectively utilized within various discard deck variations. Rather than building a deck centered around Bullseye, Swarm, and Daken, incorporating him into an established discard list is more strategic. Here's a recommended deck:
- Scorn
- X-23
- Blade
- Morbius
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- Swarm
- Colleen Wing
- Bullseye
- Dracula
- Proxima Midnight
- MODOK
- Apocalypse

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, and Proxima Midnight. While Scorn and Proxima Midnight are essential, Hawkeye Kate Bishop can be substituted with a card like Gambit. The strategy involves activating Bullseye after playing MODOK on turn 5, then using the debuff effects from Scorn, X-23, Blade, Hawkeye Kate Bishop’s arrows, and discounted Swarms. Subsequently, regenerated Swarms and new draws can be played, allowing Dracula to secure Apocalypse and clinch the game.
For those interested in a less conventional approach, a deck featuring Helicarrier and Victoria Hand can also be considered, though it's less consistent than the classic discard style.
An alternative strategy involves integrating Bullseye into the meta-dominant Hazmat Ajax deck, despite its recent nerfs. Consider this lineup:
- Silver Sable
- Nebula
- Hydra Bob
- Hazmat
- Hawkeye Kate Bishop
- US Agent
- Luke Cage
- Bullseye
- Rocket Raccoon and Groot
- Anti-Venom
- Man-Thing
- Ajax

This is among the more costly decks in Marvel Snap, featuring multiple Series 5 cards such as Silver Sable, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, US Agent, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Anti-Venom, and Ajax. Hydra Bob could be replaced with a card like regular Rocket Raccoon, but the other Series 5 cards are crucial for optimal performance.
The traditional aim is to deploy Hazmat to debuff the opponent while securing lanes with US Agent, Man-Thing, or Ajax. Bullseye complements this strategy by synergizing with cards like Silver Sable, Nebula, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop’s arrows, and the 0-cost cards drawn by Anti-Venom, enhancing Ajax’s potential to dominate a lane.
Whether this deck outperforms those featuring Red Guardian is yet to be determined, but it offers a unique twist on Bullseye's use for players with the necessary cards who prefer non-traditional discard strategies.
Is Bullseye Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Personally, I find Bullseye less appealing due to my lack of interest in discard-style or affliction decks. If you share this sentiment, Bullseye might be too niche to justify spending resources on, especially if you have already acquired Moonstone and are eyeing Aries, which synergizes well with Surtur.
And those are the best Bullseye decks in Marvel Snap.
