Bullseye in Marvel Snap: snap or nay

Bullseye, the timeless (if slightly outdated) Marvel villain, is a prime example of the delightfully absurd characters populating comic books. He's a sadistic, murderous psychopath, whose real name remains shrouded in mystery (perhaps Benjamin Poindexter or Lester?). Unlike some enhanced heroes, Bullseye's abilities stem from exceptional natural talent, making him a "peak human" in the Marvel universe.

This "peak human" status translates to deadly proficiency with virtually any projectile. From throwing knives to everyday objects like pens and paperclips, his signature weapon—razor playing cards—is just one example of his lethal versatility. He's a hired mercenary who's racked up a body count across the Marvel universe, famously including Elektra. His stint as Hawkeye in the Dark Avengers further cemented his reputation for cold-blooded efficiency.

So, what does he *do*? He throws things. In Marvel Snap, this translates to a unique ability: using your weakest 1-Cost cards to deal damage to your opponent's cards, reducing their Power by -2. Each card hits a different target, perfectly capturing Bullseye's precision. His "Activate" ability lets you time this devastating discard perfectly.

This makes him a natural fit for Discard synergy cards like Scorn and Swarm, ensuring you have eligible cards to discard. He works well with cards like Morbius or Miek, enhancing their effects. Bullseye's ability to filter and discard multiple cards can significantly impact strategies involving MODOK or Swarm.

However, Bullseye isn't without weaknesses. Luke Cage renders his ability almost useless, and Red Guardian can disrupt carefully planned turns. Strategic deck building is crucial to maximize his potential.

Bullseye Decks on Day One

Discard decks are the most obvious synergy. This example utilizes Swarm synergies with Collector, Victoria Hand, and Moonstone, further leveraging Bullseye's discards. Gambit's inclusion adds another powerful card-throwing element.

Another approach focuses on maximizing Daken's doubling effect. Bullseye provides crucial control and redundancy, allowing for more consistent combos and potentially overwhelming your opponent. This strategy requires careful planning and execution.

Verdict

Bullseye's "Activate" ability requires careful deck construction and strategic play. While his effect is niche, his potential to significantly impact Discard strategies, particularly those centered around Swarm and Scorn, makes him a valuable addition to the right deck. He's a high-risk, high-reward card that demands skillful play.
