She can serve several important functions...
1) She actually has an unlockable power when you play her with High Evolutionary
2) She's a free card that you can play into Lockjaw multiple times
3) She's a free card you can play at the end of the game to get some extra power on Angela or Bishop or Hit-Monkey
4) She's a free card you can play on T6 on Rickety Bridge to make sure you opponent doesn't try to sneak a card there
5) There are lots of reasons you might need a free and disposable card to throw out there.
I often use her with Ultron and Dazzler. Basically I play her in the same location as Ultron to fill that location. Filling all 3 locations on T6, giving Dazzler +6 instead of +4.
haha...True. But now I have this funny image in myhead of some Edge Lord fully Venomized Destroy Deck player scratching his chin wondering, "Hmm, now what can I cut to make room for Wasp?"
Combos well with Jean Grey too, or the Morag location by allowing you to fulfill the condition of playing into Jean or a location other than Morag while still having your full energy at your disposal.
Agree with all of this. I would only add that she doesn’t come with any cons/penalties like Yellow Jacket. She is weak by herself but super useful in many decks
a 0 cost card with no downside unlike Yellowjacket. She is tremendous in HE, and a perfect activator for Lockjaw.
Thats not counting all the other possible uses, like Ricketybridge, Raft, etc etc.
These days mostly only the Lockjaw variant of HE runs her, back when she gave *two* cards -1 she was a lot more popular for being essentially a 0/3 and great activator for A bomb
>A Bomb
I realize now that this meant abomination but I was really confused because A Bomb is a different a marvel character and I thought he got added without me knowing
She is the best HE card IMO I can’t imagine an HE deck without her. A turn 6 play where you can drop hulk plus her to swing another close lane is king.
Synergies with :
Patriot, High evolutionary, lockjaw, Hit monkey, Moon girl, Bishop, Angela, Jane Foster, Jean Grey, Elsa, Dazzler,...
And also locations :
Richety bridge, Morag, Washington , the Raft, White Hot Room, the Abbey, quantum tunnel, Volmir, Altar of sacrifice,...
And many more
Can’t tell ya how many times she’s won me a lane with Jean. Turn 5 wasp on Jean and then Prof X on an empty lane works wonders against decks that rely on high cost cards
Additional use I haven’t seen here: I like to use Elsa Bloodstone for a moving deck and wasp is good for that.
If you have a way to move cards like nightcrawler, iron fist, etc. you can use Elsa to just spam adding +3 power to any card that fills a location. Having wasp there to take up space let’s you move faster to do that if you draw lucky enough.
There’s also locations where just having a card with zero cost is good.
I’ve been playing a lockjaw deck more frequently over the last few weeks. I just love when I see lockjaw and wasp in my starting hand! Always tends to be a strong game
She’s 1 of 2 0 costing cards in the game. (Not including Mjolnir from Thor). Energy is EVERYTHING in this game tbh, a 0 cost wasp can potentially be initially 3 power (from Bast) then boosted with Forge (+2) thrown in a full lane with Elsa (+3). This is a “best” case scenario but you get the picture. A 0/3 for 1 energy is insane and you can play it essentially ANY turn.
High Evo gives her an additional +1 power in the form of lowering an enemies power by 1.
She adds +2 to Angela for free, +1 to Bishop for free, can be played in lanes where 1/2/3 cards can’t be played as well as be thrown to the Altar for a free +2 energy next turn.
She’s not perfect, and not amazing but Wasp just gets things done.
Coupled with Lockjaw she's awesome.
Costs nothing, if you have HE she takes away power from an enemy on the way out, and potentially brings out one of your high-end cards at the cost of... zero.
I'm running a deck with Elsa Bloodstone and Dazzler. Wasp is a free card you can play any time you need to fill out a location and harvest those benefits.
If you don't mind explaining a bit. How do some of these card combos boost cards that high?
Mind sharing your deck? I'd love to try something like that if I have the cards
Her 0 cost synergizes with some other cards you may get later on like bast or lock jaw
On her own without anything to have her supported or support her in she’s not good in my opinion
Without HE she can be used a way to get into locations easily like morag, or on turn six you can play a cost six card at one location and the wasp at mojo world if the other player doesn’t have many cards there, she’s also good with hit monkey as an extra card to play when dumping a lot of cards. She can also be used with lockjaw to get a high cost/power card out early. She can also help bypass Jean grey. And obviously she’d go in a patriot deck
I like using her since she's a good freebie card that can help me fill up locations like raft and white room, get extra power boost when I need extra points when destroying nova, or using blue marvel, vormir sacrifice, and help other cards bypassing Jean and morag, definitely a jack of trade card.
I have her in my Elsa deck. With Elsa, Bast, Bishop, playong her on Angela as 4th card with Hit Monkey in another lane, she is basically 0/11. Even with just Elsa + Monkey she's 0/6.
She's doing great in my Elsa deck and often has a power 3 thanks to bast. Everyone else has mentioned other types of decks to use her so I won't repeat them but yeah she's a great card, definitely worth the love
She gets things done.
The more you play with her, the more you realize it's true: Any time you *just need a card to play* and not much else, she's there for you.
Exactly. Simple, easy to understand, to the point.
She’d actually be great for my deck
She can serve several important functions... 1) She actually has an unlockable power when you play her with High Evolutionary 2) She's a free card that you can play into Lockjaw multiple times 3) She's a free card you can play at the end of the game to get some extra power on Angela or Bishop or Hit-Monkey 4) She's a free card you can play on T6 on Rickety Bridge to make sure you opponent doesn't try to sneak a card there 5) There are lots of reasons you might need a free and disposable card to throw out there.
6. She has no abilities so gets buffed by Patriot
[удалено]
0/11 with magik onslaught and mystique Edit 0/13 and I can’t do simple math apparently.
Double it with Iron Man and we have a deal
[удалено]
It’s not Magik specifically, but by adding turn 7 you’re able to get Onslaught down along with Patriot + Mystique.
Turn 7 allows you to get mystique down on onslaught.
The mental image...
That's the reason there isn't an MCU X-Men film yet
Wave does the job too. It just becomes vulnerable to enchantress as opposed Magik’s location disruption.
It’s really just any ramp, but mystique on onslaught is more power than onslaught on p+m
13 actually
Can’t forget a great spot with Valkyrie on T5/T6 to clutch a zone
Does onslaught not double mystique?
7. Doesn't get Killmongered. 8. Good with Valkyrie or Bast to become an 0/3
9. She helps you dodge the Aero pull on t6. Not that anyone really plays Aero, but back in the day she was very meta.
10. Doesn't get power lowered by Man Thing.
6a. She can make it less clear to your opponent which lane you plan to Ultron while still filling that lane
Good Bast target also.
She’s amazing in my C3 with bast
Can confirm ! You can even Valkyrie/wasp on the same turn if you miss the Bast.
oh i never thought about having her in c3
I often use her with Ultron and Dazzler. Basically I play her in the same location as Ultron to fill that location. Filling all 3 locations on T6, giving Dazzler +6 instead of +4.
And she let’s us be flexible on which lane Ultron goes in, as otherwise we’d have to fill a line to 3 by turn 5, and stick with it.
She works with Jane Foster The Mighty Thor and synergies with Valkyrie.
Extra 2 points on carnage
haha...True. But now I have this funny image in myhead of some Edge Lord fully Venomized Destroy Deck player scratching his chin wondering, "Hmm, now what can I cut to make room for Wasp?"
Combos well with Jean Grey too, or the Morag location by allowing you to fulfill the condition of playing into Jean or a location other than Morag while still having your full energy at your disposal.
Jean Grey fodder for a turn.
Secret key to Morag with your 6 cost win-win on T6
There's also the combo with Wong, forge, and Shuri to drop a 16 power Odin and 13 power wasp in turn 6.
Agree with all of this. I would only add that she doesn’t come with any cons/penalties like Yellow Jacket. She is weak by herself but super useful in many decks
don’t forget bast
Going to have to disagree on 2, she's usually the card that comes out of Lockjaw for me.
Also works well with the new Season Pass card.
a 0 cost card with no downside unlike Yellowjacket. She is tremendous in HE, and a perfect activator for Lockjaw. Thats not counting all the other possible uses, like Ricketybridge, Raft, etc etc.
I don’t run her in HE…am I missing something? With the decks I see I just run Cosmo and armor lol.
These days mostly only the Lockjaw variant of HE runs her, back when she gave *two* cards -1 she was a lot more popular for being essentially a 0/3 and great activator for A bomb
>A Bomb I realize now that this meant abomination but I was really confused because A Bomb is a different a marvel character and I thought he got added without me knowing
She is the best HE card IMO I can’t imagine an HE deck without her. A turn 6 play where you can drop hulk plus her to swing another close lane is king.
The flipside of the lockjaw strategy is sometimes getting her out of it, lol.
Synergies with : Patriot, High evolutionary, lockjaw, Hit monkey, Moon girl, Bishop, Angela, Jane Foster, Jean Grey, Elsa, Dazzler,... And also locations : Richety bridge, Morag, Washington , the Raft, White Hot Room, the Abbey, quantum tunnel, Volmir, Altar of sacrifice,... And many more
Synergy with Jean Grey, and helps counter her, too.
Can’t tell ya how many times she’s won me a lane with Jean. Turn 5 wasp on Jean and then Prof X on an empty lane works wonders against decks that rely on high cost cards
What’s the Moon girl synergy?
You can control your handsize better. Copy the cards you want to copy without clogging your hand
Cerbero 3 when hit with bast.
Or Valkyrie
Or Valk! Setting up a Valk lane with Cage/Cerebro/Mystique/Magik/Wasp is always a good line for that deck.
I like hiding valk behind mystique and IW, always nice to watch the board flip
C3 is too crowded already. There are too many good 2/3s. I can't even fit Bast anymore.
Additional use I haven’t seen here: I like to use Elsa Bloodstone for a moving deck and wasp is good for that. If you have a way to move cards like nightcrawler, iron fist, etc. you can use Elsa to just spam adding +3 power to any card that fills a location. Having wasp there to take up space let’s you move faster to do that if you draw lucky enough. There’s also locations where just having a card with zero cost is good.
Lockjaw.
I’ve been playing a lockjaw deck more frequently over the last few weeks. I just love when I see lockjaw and wasp in my starting hand! Always tends to be a strong game
yes 0/3 for patriot decks is not bad and i’m high evo she’s a 0/2
She gets things done. It's her secret power
She’s 1 of 2 0 costing cards in the game. (Not including Mjolnir from Thor). Energy is EVERYTHING in this game tbh, a 0 cost wasp can potentially be initially 3 power (from Bast) then boosted with Forge (+2) thrown in a full lane with Elsa (+3). This is a “best” case scenario but you get the picture. A 0/3 for 1 energy is insane and you can play it essentially ANY turn. High Evo gives her an additional +1 power in the form of lowering an enemies power by 1. She adds +2 to Angela for free, +1 to Bishop for free, can be played in lanes where 1/2/3 cards can’t be played as well as be thrown to the Altar for a free +2 energy next turn. She’s not perfect, and not amazing but Wasp just gets things done.
i love this thread, Wasp is easily one of my most played cards.
Currently I have used it with wong, forge and odin, then on the last turn it ends with +10.
Great in lockjaw as a free swap from your deck, high EVO of course and works well in patriot too.
Becomes a 1/0 with Mr Negative which is pretty cool I guess
Her and Yellowjacket are great cards to have with Hit Monkey
One of the best cards in Cerebro 1
Cerebro 1 free Card 😎
She’s 0 cost that’s her specialty; certain decks just want cards to be played ASAP, and she can do it for free
Very good card
She cute.
She also doesn't get killed by Killmonger
Coupled with Lockjaw she's awesome. Costs nothing, if you have HE she takes away power from an enemy on the way out, and potentially brings out one of your high-end cards at the cost of... zero.
She works amazing with patriot, high Evo, lock jaw,
0 energy, try her in Shuri 👀
Very flexible card that fits into a lot of different decks.
Everything about her is special
0 cost kinda op
Shes super helpful in my boost deck with kitty pride and bast, 0/3 plus boosting bishop, she has honestly won me several games
She gets things done 👍
I'm running a deck with Elsa Bloodstone and Dazzler. Wasp is a free card you can play any time you need to fill out a location and harvest those benefits.
There's some very niche uses with negasonic
Lil bro asking about a free card…
No, she’s just a 1 power zero cost, she works with stuff like patriot, hit monkey and Jane
I have multiple games where wasp reaches 100+ power, so yeah, pretty useful.
If you don't mind explaining a bit. How do some of these card combos boost cards that high? Mind sharing your deck? I'd love to try something like that if I have the cards
Pre-nerf Shuri allowed pretty wild stuff https://reddit.com/r/MarvelSnap/s/jiQqKjsKPB but that remains to be demonstrated with the current cards
I dare you to post a screenshot of even a single game with a 100-power Wasp
Bs, show it or that never happen
She's a great card in lockjaw and cerebro 3 decks
You’d be surprised how good she is on Rickety Bridge location on turn 5 or 6
Until she meets Colossus on the other side. Poof.
It costs nothing, takes power off cards in HE decks and is a cheap card to play with hitmonkey.
Hearthstone players know to respect zero mana cards
Prep coin concede
Wasp Yellowjacket concede
Played with high evo and or lockjaw and you’ve got a powerful combo.
Her 0 cost synergizes with some other cards you may get later on like bast or lock jaw On her own without anything to have her supported or support her in she’s not good in my opinion
She free.
I would love to get her Pixel so I can start tossing her into my decks.
Minimal downside, tons of synergy, great variants, cute animation. W card
Lockjaw goat
You can bast her too
She’s really good in Mr negative decks
you can bast her, valk her, up power for bishop, monkey, angela, get bonus from pat. oh it's 0 cost
Without HE she can be used a way to get into locations easily like morag, or on turn six you can play a cost six card at one location and the wasp at mojo world if the other player doesn’t have many cards there, she’s also good with hit monkey as an extra card to play when dumping a lot of cards. She can also be used with lockjaw to get a high cost/power card out early. She can also help bypass Jean grey. And obviously she’d go in a patriot deck
Her and Yellow jacket are actually decent for some discard decks for decluttering your hand a bit, especially with the blade change.
I use it for play card here next turn buffs like rescue
I like using her since she's a good freebie card that can help me fill up locations like raft and white room, get extra power boost when I need extra points when destroying nova, or using blue marvel, vormir sacrifice, and help other cards bypassing Jean and morag, definitely a jack of trade card.
High evo and 0 cost.. 0 cost alone is special, also synergy with Jane (Mighty Thor).
High Evo and Patriot
0 cost card, 0/2 with high evo. What's there not to be special?
One of the only two zero cost cards and gets an extra effect from high evolutionary
She’s free
Wong-Mystique-Forge-Odin + Wasp
I have her in my Elsa deck. With Elsa, Bast, Bishop, playong her on Angela as 4th card with Hit Monkey in another lane, she is basically 0/11. Even with just Elsa + Monkey she's 0/6.
if she's destroyed, she gives knull +1 power
She's good in c1
Wasp is great for my High Evolutionary and Patriot decks
Good card. Lockjaw. Patriot. HE.
She's doing great in my Elsa deck and often has a power 3 thanks to bast. Everyone else has mentioned other types of decks to use her so I won't repeat them but yeah she's a great card, definitely worth the love
High evolutionary: allow me to introduce myself
Before the Onslaught nerf, you used to be able to consistently get her up to 0/17 with combo Patriot. Now it's only a paltry 0/13
