Marvel Snap has revealed two new cards, one of them being The Sentry. At first, the effect looks weird and problematic, but some cards work well with it. Prima Games will showcase the card below and provide tips on how to best use it or play against it. Of course, many decks have excellent synergy potential with this card, and not all hope is lost; you can counter it.
The Sentry Card Effect in Marvel Snap
For 4 Energy, you get an 8-Power card that says: “Cannot be played at the right location. On Reveal: Add an 8-Power Void to the right location.” Immediately, remember Drax that has a similar outcome if you guess where your opponent will play his card(s) on Turn 4 (thus forcing your Drax to play somewhere you perhaps wouldn’t like). Crossbones has the same stat line but can only be played on locations where you are already winning, which can be pretty problematic.

Having a -8 Power card on board is awkward, especially if you need that Location to win.
- Carnage
- Deathlok
- Destroyer
- Viper (good to flick the Void across the board. Viper also works with the Hood)
- Zero (disallows the second part of the effect)
- Professor X (assuming you will play Professor X in the right location on Turn 5, and save The Sentry for Turn 6.
- Cosmo (doesn’t summon the Void)
Based on this information, a Deathwave / Death / Self-Destroy type of deck works decently with The Sentry.
