Mastering Marvel Snap's Bullseye: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment
Bullseye, a recent addition to Marvel Snap's Dark Avengers season, has undergone several iterations before reaching its current form. This guide explores optimal Bullseye deck builds and assesses his overall worth.

Bullseye's Mechanics
Bullseye is a 3-cost, 3-power card with the ability: "Activate: Discard all 1-cost or less cards from your hand. Afflict that many different enemy cards with -2 Power."
This makes him a potent addition to discard-based decks. His activation is crucial; pre-turn 6 is key for effectiveness. Cards like Swarm (reduced to 0 cost after discard) are excellent synergies. Other strong pairings include X-23 and Hawkeye (Kate Bishop). However, his 3-cost restricts his play window, and he's ineffective on the final turn. Crucially, his debuff affects different enemy cards, limiting its impact on single high-power cards.
Top Bullseye Decks
Bullseye finds his niche primarily within discard-style decks. Here are two prominent examples:
Deck 1: Classic Discard with Bullseye
This deck utilizes standard discard synergies, enhanced by Bullseye's board-wide debuff potential. The combination of MODOK and Bullseye, followed by Scorn and other low-cost cards, creates a powerful turn 5 play. Hawkeye (Kate Bishop) is arguably replaceable with a card like Gambit. Series 5 cards (Scorn, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Proxima Midnight) are key components, though substitutions are possible for some.
Deck 2: Hazmat Ajax Variant
This high-cost deck integrates Bullseye into the Hazmat Ajax archetype. Bullseye complements Hazmat's strategy, acting as a secondary debuff engine. Synergies include Silver Sable, Nebula, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye (Kate Bishop), and the 0-cost Anti-Venom. This boosts Ajax's effectiveness, potentially securing lane victories. However, this deck's high cost and reliance on Series 5 cards (Silver Sable, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, US Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Anti-Venom, Ajax) make it less accessible. Hydra Bob might be substituted with another 1-cost card.
Is Bullseye Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Bullseye's value is highly subjective. If you're not a fan of discard or affliction decks, he's likely not a worthwhile investment. His utility is limited outside of specific deck archetypes. Players prioritizing cards that synergize with broader strategies (like Moonstone and Aries) might find Bullseye less appealing.
