Synergies

Any cards that can utilize Merlin's abilities are good teammates. Here are a few examples:

Squirrel Girl: Places two Squirrels, which can be buffed with Merlin's incantations.
Hood: Has -3 power, as a result, it can be affected using Merlin's incantations.
Jubilee: Is a 1-power card with 4 cost. Hence, Merlin Polymorph can turn her into a 6-cost card.

Counters

Cards that disrupt Merlin or his incantations can be used to counter them. A few examples are:

Red Guardian: Afflicts the lowest-Power enemy card here with -2 Power and removes its text. Therefore, it can target and suspend the Marvel Snap Merlin card.
Cosmo: Blocks all On Reveal abilities in its location, and can shout down the incantations.
Gorgon: Increases the cost of the enemy's cards by 1. Therefore, it can increase the costs of Merlin's incantations.

Release date

The Marvel Snap Merlin card will release when the pass for the Master of Arcane season goes live on June 3, 2025. Players can unlock it by purchasing the premium version of this pass.
