Marvel Snap hot location | Pocket Tactics

If six turn games weren’t mould-breaking enough for you, Marvel Snap’s hot locations are yet another way that Second Dinner is spicing up the world of CCGs. These locations appear every Sunday for just 24 hours, changing up the meta to suit a specific effect. We’re here to help you understand this week’s location and know what to play to keep your precious cubes.

We’ve got loads of great Marvel Snap content for you here on Pocket Tactics, including a list of the best Marvel Snap cards, a Marvel Snap tier list, and a summary of the best Marvel Snap decks.

What is the Marvel Snap hot location?

Every Sunday an existing location in Marvel Snap becomes ‘hot’, meaning it appears 60% more frequently than usual for 24 hours. 

The hot location for February 26 is Sokovia, which has the effect ‘discard a card from each player’s hand’.

What deck should I play for this hot location?

Sokovia is perfect for discard synergy decks, which coincides perfectly with the release of Stature earlier this week. Stature is a five cost, seven power card that has the effect ‘costs one if your opponent discarded a card from their hand this game’. 

Of course, Stature is a brand new card, so it’s likely that you won’t have her just yet. Below are our suggestions for a high cost deck and a budget deck for Sokovia.

High cost Sokovia deck

The aim of this deck is to play Black Bolt on turn five to activate Stature’s effect regardless of whether your game features Sokovia or not. Play curve until turn five and then finish with a Stature and Aero combo.

Cards:

• Sunspot
• Titania
• Zabu
• Armor
• Moon Knight
• Shuri
• Shang-Chi
• Moon Girl
• Aero
• Black Bolt
• Stature
• She-Hulk

Budget Sokovia deck

This deck is made entirely of Series One cards, making it extremely F2P friendly. The big hitters are Wolverine, Apocalypse, and (in theory) America Chavez as none of them can be lost to Sokovia’s discard effect.

Cards:

• Ant-Man
• Squirrel Girl
• Nightcrawler
• Blade
• Angela
• Wolverine
• Sentinel
• America Chavez
• Apocalypse
• Lady Sif
• Sword Master
• Ka-Zar
