The Heralds of Galactus season is about to crash into Marvel Snap, and Jesse and Evan are here with a full preview of every card, location, and mechanic coming your way. They kick things off with Galactus “First Steps” and the intriguing Herald mechanic, imagining both its strategic potential and its most hilarious possibilities. From Silver Surfer’s new on-reveal copy twist to Stardust’s ability to block added cards, the hosts dissect how these fresh abilities could alter the battlefield. Along the way, they offer counterplay ideas, dream combos, and a few tongue-in-cheek comic book references that bring these cosmic heavy-hitters to life.
The breakdown continues with Redshift’s discard twist, Terrax’s rock-shuffling mayhem, and the return of the Fantasticar to regular play. Jesse zeroes in on Frankie Ray Nova as a card to watch, mapping out big six-cost synergy plays that could dominate lanes, while Evan considers how cards like Doom, Prodigy, and Nick Fury could fit into the mix. They also explore the unique possibilities of The Fallen One’s energy-setting ability, Cosmic Ghost Rider’s text-removal trick, and the synergy between Air Walker and Fire Lord — revealing some sneaky deckbuilding paths that could catch opponents off guard.
Finally, the duo covers the new locations: the unpredictable chaos of The Seventh Cosmos, which replaces all locations mid-match, and Zen-La, a Silver Surfer-friendly hotspot that pulls three-cost cards from your deck. With humor, strategy, and plenty of Marvel lore, Jesse and Evan paint a picture of a season that’s equal parts unpredictable and exciting. Whether you’re planning to embrace Galactus’s cosmic might or just looking for ways to counter him, this episode will have you ready for launch day.
