MARVEL SNAP's Hot Location is The Nexus - Decks to Play!

MARVEL SNAP's Hot Location this weekend is The Nexus!

The Nexus is the location you want to save for your biggest and best cards, since playing them there will apply their Power to the other locations. It's where you want Iron Man, Devil Dinosaur, or whatever other large body you decide to put into your deck.

However you choose to plan for the Hot Location, you'd better get used to it; being a Hot Location means that The Nexus will have a 50% chance to appear for 24 hours, from 8 PM PT Saturday night to 8 PM PT Sunday night (2 AM UTC Sunday to 2 AM UTC Monday).

Hot Decks for The Nexus

If you're looking for ideas of what decks you can play to the Hot Location, we've got you covered: with recommended decks for players just starting out in Series 1, players still moving up through Series 2, and players who are starting to fill their collections with cards from Series 3, 4, and 5.

Series 1 Iron Man

If you're early in your MARVEL SNAP journey, Iron Man is the best card to play to the Nexus, for the simple reason that he'll double whatever other Power you have there. Adding Onslaught to the mix makes him even more potent.

Series 2 Ongoing

This deck is a lot like the Series 1 deck in how it wants to abuse the hot location, but has the added dimension of using Devil Dinosaur to put a lot of Power on the Nexus. And, if you can land an Iron Man or Onslaught onto your Dino, things will only get juicier.

Series 3 Shuri

Shuri, even if her nerfed state, is great for the Nexus, doubling up the Power of Black Panther or any of the other big bodies. This deck also has Wong to make things get even bigger, which should be a good win condition with Shuri or the Panther Arnim Zola combo.

Series 3 Shenaut

If you're looking for raw Power, there's nobody bigger than The Infinaut. This deck uses Magik to gain a seventh turn, then skips turn 6 so it can play The Infinaut alongside She-Hulk for a huge Power swing, and you can get double the Hulk if you've play Moon Girl.

Series 3 Sera Control

If you're more interested in punishing your opponent, try this Sera Control list that has Shang-Chi and Enchantress to remove whatever they've played to the Nexus, or can use Hazmat and Luke Cage to lower their Power across the board while keeping yours at a steady level.

What are Hot Locations in MARVEL SNAP?

There are two different types of location events in MARVEL SNAP, both of which have a 50% chance of appearing for the next 24 hours.

• Sunday's Hot Location that always pulls from existing locations.
• Wednesday's Featured Location that usually shows off new locations, but will pull from the pool of existing locations from time to time.

The increased appearance rate for the Hot Location will shake up the meta for a day - for example, Odin was the finisher of choice for many players when Kamar-Taj was the Hot Location.
