The final card of Marvel Snap’s Wolverine-themed Big in Japan season is one of Logan’s biggest enemies and a solid new addition for Series Five cards.
Introducing Silver Samurai
Silver Samurai, also known as Keniuchio Harada, is a mutant with the ability to infuse energy into objects, which he uses to power up his blades. His name comes from the silver armor he wears, but his card ability in Snap focuses on his exceptional slicing and dicing skills.
Card Details
– Cost: 4
– Power: 5
– Card Text: On Reveal: Each player discards the lowest-Power card from their hand.
A Perfect Fit for Big in Japan
Silver Samurai fits perfectly into the theme of Big in Japan, which revolves around Wolverine-related characters that excel in discard or destroy decks. Samurai specializes in discarding cards and complements existing cards like Black Bolt and Colleen Wing.
Synergy and Strategy
Silver Samurai’s ability to target the lowest-power cards makes him an ideal partner for other characters like Daken, Swarm, and Wolverine. He can trigger discards of powerful cards like Muramasa Shard and even enable players to play two cards in one turn when paired with Wolverine.
Samurai’s ability to force opponents into discarding, along with Moon Knight and Black Bolt, also synergizes well with Stature, who becomes more cost-effective if the opponent has discarded a card.
Additionally, Samurai’s cost can be reduced by Zabu, making him a valuable addition to discard decks. With Colleen Wing, discard decks now have two cards to trigger discards of popular targets like Wolverine, Swarm, X-23, or Muramasa Shard.
Availability
Silver Samurai can be obtained this week through Spotlight Caches or by using 6,000 Collector’s Tokens.
