If it's any consolation, Ive been free to playing this game and eventually with some improved game sense and some patience... I've managed to make it pretty far and along the way earn some awesome cards. Grind, gather up those spotlight keys, and enjoy bro🤙🏼
Yup that’s how I found Alex, and yeah I have some of the newer cards but I still refer to classics every now and then but am wondering of what new cards might compliment this deck.
More videos like this are really important to the game. Content creators get so caught up in the new cards that most people can't get, but a large portion of the player base need to see pool 2/3 decks that WORK in the current metas.
I appreciate the kind words, glad you found it helpful. I think the challenge is that TH-cam hates these kinds of videos, because they greatly underperform. So because I released this, there is a good chance the algorithm will punish my next video with fewer impressions, which sucks, and discourages creators from taking chances on content.
Alex, you've been my to go Marvel Snap content creator since I started playing in October from last year (and thanks to you I also got to know Cozy). I was at a loss back then, but your videos helped a ton and kept me consistent as I started learning more and more, watching everything you released. Now my GF is also playing she's relatively new starting to make her way in series 3, and while I do what I can to help with her experience, you are just about to do the same for her with this great budget list. Thank you for your hard work, honesty and your great content, it means a lot your uploads always improve my day, as they do for many others. Hope things are going good!
Best snap creator in the world. I remember watching your videos last year when my collection was still pretty small and your decks helped me out a ton. I'm still missing tons of key cards, so videos like this aren't just helpful for new players but also more experienced one's as well. Thank you Alex!
Phenomenal video. As someone with a decent amount of series 4 and 5 cards, I still love this cause I still find myself missing a piece of most meta decks recently. Thanks Alex!
Perfect video to highlight that you can climb with series 1/2/3 only decks. A lot of players get upset about not having tons of series 4/5 but I too this day still use shuri/sauron to climb through the 70’s at the start of a season as it was the first deck I ever hit infinite with and it’s just like a tradition for me to play it into the 80’s. I do switch in the 80’s but the deck is capable of going infinite in most meta’s. I do run aero in mine though haha as sometimes she can clog out that shuri location and save you from a shang chi.
Hi Alex Your content is always fire but this new dynamic, showing some love for us folk that have under 5K CL is truly appreciated. Look after yourself and keep up the awesome content brother man. Love/respect from South Africa
I’m glad the Marvel Snap community treats you as you deserve, I started watching you from your Dota videos a year or two ago and I just recently got into marvel snap, so here I am. Your Dota videos were my favorite over other Dota TH-camrs btw👍🏻
I been playing this game since it got released but I stopped playing the game for about 3/4 months ago i came back and i was overwhelmed, so many cards i need to get
Marvel Snap isn't a game it's a job... If you quit, you lose all of the pay raises and benefits you had. It's best to look for greener pastures and never look back when you throw in the towel.
Even at CL8k only missing some of the fauder cards it’s nice too see videos like this for the newer players Another card to be on the look out for in surfer is phastos I have a feeling he’ll be a great surfer card
As someone that can't afford many cards in the game, Thanos and High Evolutionary have been part of the 90% of my decks since I got them in the spotlight. And I've been perfecting them to be my most reliable decks with time
I just got my son in the game. The ongoing stuff is where I lead him as well. So F2P friendly. Patriot being the first Free S3 card I told him to pick up
Also anyone playing the high evo deck i highly recommend moon girl to double abomination and she hulk, playing possibly 30+ power turn 6, can even use ghost to avoid shung chi
Great video and content. Very good idea to release these days. Not sure about High Evo being in a great spot given the prevalence of Red Hulk, but overall I think this video and the decks here rock.
While I fully know that making a video like this takes a lot of time. I would be absolutely down if you decided to do this with the "Top 10 Cards of the Week", cause you are so intriguing to watch when you play and you can give in the moment critique. Awesome video my man!
I've wanted to, but the challenge is that for that Top 10 weekly video, Im trying to get the most up to date stats as possible to determine the ordering of decks, ect. So the way I do it now allows me to be very accurate with the most updated data because I don't need as much recording/editing leeway. I've honestly thought about it a lot, but it would be really hard, but I totally recognize that it would make for good content. I'm going to think about it and see what I can do
@@AlexanderCoccia I had a hunch it would be very time consuming when it comes to making content. I think you are doing a really good job already but if you want to experiment you definitely got his afro-man to support you 👌🏾
Damn, I don’t even have the cards for the budget decks. Super duper fun to go against people that do have all these cards and more though, hoping I’m not making a mistake by continuing to play lmao
I would really like to see High Evo and Loki dropped down to Series 2. Those are two cards that would really help early players be competitive, and personally I had tremendously shitty luck with my early and mid Series 3 pulls and I almost quit playing because of that. High Evo is basically well synergized deck with training wheels, it wotld be a good intro to more thoughtful deck building thaj what Series 1 offers and Loki is a great plug and play card that would let players try a wide variety of cards and strategies
Really helpful video brother❤❤ Man I don't even have all the series 3 cards been playing this game for 6-7 months but this video is really good for a person like me❤
Don't play M'Baku in C2. I've tested it for fun. I was playing C2 exclusively for 200 games straight in infinity and what I wanna say - you don't want this guy. The idea is - you can replace him with any 1/2 with ability. If you draw it - it's better to have a card with ability, if you don't draw it and M'Baku effect doesn't win, then it doesn't matter. So the only time M'Baku is better - when its ability is activated AND he wins you the game, which happen to me in 1:100 rate. Basically 1 game out of 100 he changed lose to victory. That's not what you want. And you have a lot of options to play instead of M'Baku - Iceman, Nightcrawler, Korg and Electra. Then you can unlock Echo and Nico. I've made that sacrifice for you guys, just don't play M'Baku.
I’m missing just 9 cards. As the only important ones from these 9 are Canonball and Curvus. In the last 2 seasons I still used this Shuri deck to reach infinite. It is underrated.
I love this game but the system is getting tough to keep up. I’m someone who I consider extremely lucky with my collection because as someone who only buys the season pass, I’ve managed to get a ton of the new cards but even I’m missing a lot of stuff I’d really love to have… US agent, Red Guardian, Corvis, Proxima, Namora are all great cards and it takes literally 2+ months to get enough tokens to buy one card. Luckily I can play most decks that I want and lately I’ve been lucky ( 3 weeks in a row pulled new card off the 1st key) but that will run out.
This is such important video in times, where new decks are created every week, last three seasons had very good cards and monetization is becoming problematic.
There is also one more best "S3 only" deck, which is Targeted Hela Discard 1-Blade 2-Colleen Wing 3- Lady Sif 4-Dracula 5-Jubilee 6-Black Cat 7-Ideally Blink, but you can run Ghost Rider Instead if you dont have Season Pass 8-Hela 9-Magneto 10-Giganto(or Hulk) 11-Infinaut 12-Death
I've never understood the appeal of Hela, one of the most boring seeming decks in the game for me. No brain input, just discarding cards and drawing Hela at some point.
@@BennyBoy025yea but it gives easy wins and allows people who don’t want to put in brain power to make it to infinite. Or they just woke and don’t have time
I feel like a lot less people reached infinite this season? I also felt like there are a lot less bots from 90-100. it was an actual challenge this time
No Hela? Picking up just Hela and Black Cat already gives you a solid base of Hela, Black Cat, Blade, Sif, Infinaut, Jubilee and Sandman. And the deck can be filled out with Cable, White Queen and Leech.
It currently takes 7 months to unlock the entirety of Series 3 from scratch and only grows with more series drops. It could still take you months of playing to build any one of these decks, even with the one free card choice you get every month so I don't know how you can call any of these "budget" decks. By the time you get all the correct S3 cards you've probably earned enough spotlight keys and/or tokens to get S4/S5 cards to build entirely different, better decks.
I like the idea. I will say, you said these decks ONLY have S3 cards, but the patriot surfer deck has Iron Lad which is S5 and High Evo obviously has High Evo (another S5 card). There's nothing wrong with it since these are cards beginners should be looking to get first, it just goes against what you said in the beginning.
Funnily enough, I find it more difficult to build decks based on series 3 cards as opposed to series 4 or 5. Pool 3 acquisition being so random and slow can bottleneck accounts there.
What else do people do when they hit 100. As conquest is boring and takes so long…. Some battles can take well over half hour sometimes an hour. Who has time to do that 5 times just for one infinite run where the prizes are meh…
Man I'm sitting at work like i need something good to listen to while I'm polishing a few helicopter parts and boom Alex notification soon as i start searching..
I know most on meta decks tend to be expensive but honestly as someone who tries to grab most of the relevant cards and is mostly caught up, I’d love to see a “best most expensive decks” video next 👌🤓
You said Budget, but the fifth one isn't, cause you have Iron Lad, and Even Me that has been playing and have the most of the cards on the game haven't, so the 5th should be changed, I think

This video reminds me when everyone was brand new on launch of Snap and Snap creators were doing pool 1-3 deck videos. The memories.
Yup that’s how I found Alex, and yeah I have some of the newer cards but I still refer to classics every now and then but am wondering of what new cards might compliment this deck.
Alex I think it's great that you are making budget decks for those that are relatively new to Marvel Snap. Makes a difference
More videos like this are really important to the game. Content creators get so caught up in the new cards that most people can't get, but a large portion of the player base need to see pool 2/3 decks that WORK in the current metas.

This was a really fun watch for someone whose been series 3 complete for so long. I'm not eve sure what's series 3 anymore without looking it up. 😮😅

Glad to see Alex helping out the folks not series complete yet. I think it’ll help with subscription with more non series complete contents
I didn't know I had a god split Nebula, but now I know.
Wholesome video bro. Brings back some old meta decks. Love this content. Keep it up
That last little remark at the end 😂😂😂😂😂
I see 30 minutes video I smash that like button
Keep up the great work, mr Alex
You are definitely one of the reasons why I come back to this game!
I appreciate that! Thank you so much
@@AlexanderCoccia you are THE GOAT man!
This should be posted on the Marvel Snap page. GREAT video!
Hi Alex

I’m glad the Marvel Snap community treats you as you deserve, I started watching you from your Dota videos a year or two ago and I just recently got into marvel snap, so here I am. Your Dota videos were my favorite over other Dota TH-camrs btw👍🏻
Haven’t played marvel snap in almost a year now I’m coming back thanks for the video!
Appreciate this type of content as a new player myself.
I been playing this game since it got released but I stopped playing the game for about 3/4 months ago i came back and i was overwhelmed, so many cards i need to get
Marvel Snap isn't a game it's a job... If you quit, you lose all of the pay raises and benefits you had. It's best to look for greener pastures and never look back when you throw in the towel.
The idea is - Spotlight caches are better for players with smaller collection. Because 4th option is more likely to be a card.
@@INMATEofARKHAM Is 30 minutes per day to do dailies a job? I want a job, that I can spend 30 minutes per day on =)
Even at CL8k only missing some of the fauder cards it’s nice too see videos like this for the newer players
Another card to be on the look out for in surfer is phastos I have a feeling he’ll be a great surfer card
As someone that can't afford many cards in the game, Thanos and High Evolutionary have been part of the 90% of my decks since I got them in the spotlight. And I've been perfecting them to be my most reliable decks with time
I just got my son in the game. The ongoing stuff is where I lead him as well. So F2P friendly. Patriot being the first Free S3 card I told him to pick up
Shuri game also showed off how good the Loki matchup is. The turn 4-5-6 curve is so tight that the Loki discount doesn't really help
Thank you for this - coming from a player fresh out of pool 2, this is much appreciated.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Also anyone playing the high evo deck i highly recommend moon girl to double abomination and she hulk, playing possibly 30+ power turn 6, can even use ghost to avoid shung chi
Great video and content. Very good idea to release these days. Not sure about High Evo being in a great spot given the prevalence of Red Hulk, but overall I think this video and the decks here rock.
Alex, this is a wonderful video.
Many thanks!
Sadly, as a 10k collection level player who always buys the season pass, I really needed this.
These decks are much appreciate alex. Hard to keep up with these non stop series 5 cards coming out
respect for all the effort put into making this video
This is a fantastic video and one I have immediately shared with friends.
considering how expensive it can be to keep up this is a really good video! GG Alex
Good on you for making this video!
me watching this as a day 1 player like "I gotta support my boy Alex"
Amazing content. Keep it pushing for us and let us use our keys and get better cards

Liked and commented, thanks for the content again Alex, keep the grind up
Really helpful video brother❤❤
Man I don't even have all the series 3 cards been playing this game for 6-7 months but this video is really good for a person like me❤
Hot take: domino to 2 power buffs m'baku because it's like deck thicking. Alternatively, m'baku to 3 would be interesting in C3 with domino as is.
I should've subscribed to this months ago 😢 thank you so much for looking out for the underdogs
Don't play M'Baku in C2. I've tested it for fun. I was playing C2 exclusively for 200 games straight in infinity and what I wanna say - you don't want this guy.

lol oops :C
Dam i need some of all them rly cool cards!!!!
What do u guys think, Red Guardian or Cannonball next with collectors token?
My gf recently got into Snap and I could not be happier about you making this video Alex! I gotta show it to her and teach her the craft! 🤩
Thank you so much for this video Alex ❤
You're so welcome!
Es la primera vez que veo un video de decks y cuento con todas las cartas 😅
I have every card I want, but still think this video is great for the player base.
Great video!!!
Watching this made me start a new account that's only F2P so wish me luck boys!
What can I play instead of Cage on spectrum? Because it's the only card I don't have ?
This is such important video in times, where new decks are created every week, last three seasons had very good cards and monetization is becoming problematic.
There is also one more best "S3 only" deck, which is Targeted Hela Discard
1-Blade

@@BennyBoy025yea but it gives easy wins and allows people who don’t want to put in brain power to make it to infinite. Or they just woke and don’t have time
@@ondovids9253 There's no meaningful reward for getting to infinite. Play game for fun, not as chore.
Really like this style of video
I have all the cards except one. That card is KANG!!! Give me a killer deck if you can 😂
As someone with almost all the cards, I appreciate this video ❤️🔥
Hopefully ur bringing dino back. Miss playing my gold with white kirby dino.
I feel like a lot less people reached infinite this season? I also felt like there are a lot less bots from 90-100. it was an actual challenge this time
I thought iron lad wasn't a series 3 card?
I tried your infanaught and sun spot deck. Lost 12 left 4 won 5... not a very good deck and draws are killer if you don't have the infanaught by 4
No Hela? Picking up just Hela and Black Cat already gives you a solid base of Hela, Black Cat, Blade, Sif, Infinaut, Jubilee and Sandman. And the deck can be filled out with Cable, White Queen and Leech.
This is great!
Ngl u say m'baku can't make any deck but I use him in Arishem sometimes but he usually draws because that's just my luck 😂
Thank you 🎉🎉🎉
You’re welcome 😊
love counting all the ultimate and super rare variants in each of the budget friendly decks, it makes me chuckle, love the content

The game has been real annoying with every competitive deck needing a new card like Blink, Red Guardian, White Widow, Canonball, etc..
2024 and look at me... in a budget decks video...
I'm sending this to my peeps who are still in early p3
Just got one of my best friends into the game, sending it to him right away.
been playing for a few months as a f2p player and i can't make a single one of these decks in its entirety lol
Funnily enough, I find it more difficult to build decks based on series 3 cards as opposed to series 4 or 5. Pool 3 acquisition being so random and slow can bottleneck accounts there.
I’ve lost to most of these decks within the last week. 😂
thank you jonah hill i love your movies
16:43
The video we've all been waiting for, thank you :)
Hope you enjoyed it!
Is it just me or Conquest needs its own meta deck
Peasant Deaks F2P, gets love in this video
What else do people do when they hit 100. As conquest is boring and takes so long…. Some battles can take well over half hour sometimes an hour. Who has time to do that 5 times just for one infinite run where the prizes are meh…
An hour is crazy mine take 10 minutes. Snap more, and don't play every game for 1-2 cubes.
Also one thing I really love about this video is you didn't force feed destroy or discard down peoples throats, props to you on that😁👍
Shuri decks will never die
With the nerf to Shung Chi, new cards have started to feel way over tuned.
Dang I meant Zabu, but honestly same thing.
