One of the main draws of Marvel Snap is collecting and playing with cards inspired by heroes that comic book fans around the world have seen in Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. Stature is just one of these heroes.
Stature is the hero name for Cassie Lang, the daughter of Scott Lang, better known as the hero Ant-Man. She was brought to life on the big screen in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania in the MCU, but now she can also bring your cube rate to life in Snap.
Here’s the best way to use Stature in Marvel Snap, including the decks she fits in and how to counter her.
Stature card abilities in Marvel Snap
Stature is a five-energy, six-Power card that can be played for way cheaper than her nominal cost.
“Costs 1 if your opponent discarded a card from their hand this game,” her card text reads, meaning she can be played out quite easily and very early on in games if your opponent is playing a discard deck or if you force them to discard something with cards of your own.
Stature strategy in Marvel Snap
Stature fits in pretty well with almost any discard deck in Marvel Snap, but you have to be careful not to discard her before you can play her yourself. Even if you don’t discard her, she’s not a bad five-drop, although there are plenty of better options in the game.
Generally, you want to use her as big power early on if you’re able to get your opponent to discard something or if you luck out and they’re playing a discard deck on their own. Or you can use certain cards to force a discard and use her at the end of the game combined with a five drop for huge power on turn six.
Best combo synergy with Stature in Marvel Snap
There are only a handful of cards you can use to force your opponent to discard something. They are:
- Moon Knight
- Silver Samurai
- Black Bolt
Moon Knight can be played very early as a three-drop to make your opponent discard something, but you will also discard a card of your own, so it’s best to play it with a full hand to lessen your chances of discarding Stature or herself or just hoping to pull her later in the game.
Black Bolt is a huge turn-five play as it will force your opponent to discard the lowest-cost card in their hand. At eight Power, he’s pretty strong, but his biggest utility is following up with Stature plus another five-drop on turn six.
There are several big five-drop cards you can combo Stature with on turn seven if her ability has been triggered. Here are just a few:
- Iron Man
- Aero
- Red Skull
- Spider-Woman
- Taskmaster
- Vision
Playing any of these cards on turn six in conjunction with a one-cost Stature could win you some quick cubes very easily.
The best Stature decks in Marvel Snap for September 2023
StatureHawk Discard
| Korg | Spider-Ham | Zabu | Jeff | Darkhawk | Shang-Chi |
| Captain Marvel | Enchantress | Rock Slide | Iron Lad | Stature | Black Bolt |
This deck combines the abilities of Stature with the ability of Darkhawk to create a very powerful deck of 12. Zabu enables half of the deck, so he’s a must, but the rest of these cards are all relatively new, so you’ll need to grind caches to try and fill this one out.
If you’ve been playing consistently, however, the combination of using Korg and Rock Slide to power up Darkhawk while finishing with Black Bolt on five and Stature plus more on six is very tough to beat.
Silver Stature Lad
| Wolverine | Zabu | Swarm | Colleen Wing | Daken | Shang-Chi |
| Absorbing Man | Silver Samurai | Iron Lad | Stature | Black Bolt | Legion |
This deck features several Series Four and Five cards so it may be tough to build, but it’s one of the more popular decks that’s come to fruition since the introduction of Silver Samurai, who synergizes wonderfully with discarding low-cost targets like Swarm, Daken’s Muramasa Shard, or Wolverine.
M.O.D.O.K. and Stature
| Sunspot | Morbius | Swarm | Colleen Wing | Moon Knight | Sword Master |
| Dracula | Stature | Black Bolt | M.O.D.O.K. | Apocalypse | America Chavez |
More of a classic discard deck, this one adds Stature as an added bonus to the go-to play of using M.O.D.O.K. to discard your entire hand and buff up Dracula and Morbius.
If the Dracula and Morbius play isn’t working for you or you haven’t played or drawn the necessary cards, Stature can always be brought in via Black Bolt or Moon Knight on the last turn at just one cost.
Stature Thanos Lockjaw
| Sunspot | Lockjaw | Polaris | Maximus | Shuri | Captain Marvel |
| Stature | Black Bolt | Red Skull | America Chavez | She-Hulk | Thanos |
Stature makes for an interesting addition to the Thanos Lockjaw archetype. If you’re able to get Lockjaw to play Black Bolt, you basically have a free one-drop at seven power to use either on Lockjaw again or on turn six for some strong power plays.
How to counter Stature in Marvel Snap
Generally, there isn’t much you can do to prevent Stature from triggering if your opponent plays Moon Knight early on. Cosmo is just about the only way to stop it from happening since the space dog prevents On Reveal abilities, but you’d have to get pretty lucky to block that from happening.
You can prevent the Black Bolt on five, Stature on six play, however, if you use Leech to remove her ability while she’s in your opponent’s hand.
