Marvel SNAP’s Redwing has arrived, and things aren’t looking great for this tiny falcon. Some are already calling it the worst card of the Brave New World season, while others believe he might have untapped potential waiting for the right synergies. One thing is certain, though—you won’t see many Redwing plays in the current meta, as the card feels undeniably clunky in most setups.
After some testing, we’ve put together what seems to be one of the few viable decks for Redwing inMarvel SNAP. That said, don’t expect miracles—even in decks built entirely around his ability, Redwing still struggles to make an impact.

How to Play Redwing Effectively
Exploiting Redwing’s ability is challenging since it depends on multiple factors. However, you can maximize his impact with these tips:
How to Counter Redwing Decks
Redwing is aneasy target for Red Guardian, but Shang-Chi can also be a solid counter. While he can’t directly target Redwing, he can take down the big drops commonly found in Redwing decks.
Theoretically, since most Redwing decks will likely fall intothe movement archetype, Kingpin and Scream can be strong counters. Both punish enemy movement—Kingpin afflicts moved cards with negative Power, while Scream steals their Power.
Redwing is simply an unnecessary card. No matter what archetype you slot him into, he just ends up frustrating you—forcing you to trigger his effect or leaving you with a useless three-Cost drop. I think Redwing is a bad card for three reasons:
Maybe ifMarvel SNAP turned Redwing into an Activate cardand reduced the RNG of his effect, he could become a utility character. That way, you’d have more control over when his effect triggers without needing movement activators. But for now, he remains one of the most skippable cards in the game’s roster.
