Copycat joinedMarvel Snap’s roster in July as a new passive card that can steal the text of an enemy card, effectively nullifying it. Stat-wise, she is a three-cost card with a power of five, making her a reliable early drop. This guide explainshow to use Copycat’s effect to your advantageand create a consistent deck for the current metagame.
You should note that Copycat has no direct synergies, making it difficult to build a deck around her. The following setup integrates her into a tried-and-true deck that could still perform well even if you removed Copycat.
The Best Deck for Copycat in Marvel Snap
Considering that the current meta revolves around cards like Arishem, the best deck for Copycat is a Darkhawk lineup that’s backed by Silver Surfer. You can replicate this deck by combining Copycat, Darkhawk, andSilver Surferwith the following cards: Korg, Rockslide, Mirage, Mystique, Sage, Shang-Chi, Iron Man, Ravonna Renslayer, and Black Widow.
Silver Surfer is not a common name on Darkhawk decks. However, since this Copycat deck has manythree-cost cards, Silver Surfer could serve as a joker card to boost the board if necessary.

How to Play Copycat
In the current metagame, Copycat is more of a tech card than an offensive option. You should use her to predict the opponent’s strategy and prepare to respond. While Copycat adds some unpredictability to your deck and disrupts the opponent’s strategy, she is often used as a filler tech card in setups that benefit from gaining additional intelligence on the opponent’s moves.
Here are some notes to remember when playing Copycat:
How to Counter Copycat
Copycat allows your opponent to read your deck early. One way to counter this is by running Ghost decks that can confuse your enemy. Besides that, there’s no direct counterplay for Copycat at the moment, as she steals the effect of your deck’s bottom card once she’s drawn, and you might not notice this until you draw that card.
You could alsouse Arishem decks against Copycatto reduce her chances of disrupting your strategy. Since Arishem adds additional cards to your deck, Copycat is more likely to hit one that you weren’t planning to use anyway. However, sometimes, the card she steals might still have a useful effect that could give your opponent an early advantage.
Is Copycat Worth It?
Copycat is a mediocre card that can substitute for some info-stealing cards like Daredevil. However, she’s not a synergy-rich character you’d want to build a deck around. Copycat’s effect helps you disrupt the opponent’s strategy, generate a three-cost card with a random effect on your side, and read your opponent’s moves. Despite this, the gains are usually negligible, especially since most players are running Arishem decks.
