*Marvel Snap* has been noticeably short on animal companions. Aside from Cosmo, Goose, Zabu, and Hit-Monkey, the roster lacked furry (or feathered) allies—until now. With the Brave New World season, Falcon's loyal companion Redwing finally joins the battlefield.

How Redwing Works in Marvel Snap

Redwing is a 3-Cost, 4-Power card with an ability that triggers when moved: "The first time this moves, add a card from your hand to the old location."

Key considerations:

• Only activates once—even with Symbiote Spider-Man or bounce effects
• Targeting specific cards proves difficult
• Move decks often rely on small cards (e.g., Iron Fist) you'd avoid hitting
• Scream-focused lists primarily disrupt opponents rather than self-move

That said, budget-friendly movement options exist (Madame Web, Cloak), enabling early Galactus drops or surprise Infinaut plays.

Best Day One Redwing Decks in Marvel Snap

Scream-Based Power Surge

Ares and Surtur return in a Scream-shell featuring Heimdall disruption and Aero control. Redwing fits—despite competing with Surtur's ideal T3 play.

• Hydra Bob
• Scream
• Kraven
• Captain America
• Redwing
• Polaris
• Surtur
• Ares
• Cull Obsidian
• Aero
• Heimdall
• Magneto

Tip: Replace Hydra Bob with Rocket Raccoon/Iceman if unavailable.

Game Plan: Strengthen Surtur while leveraging Scream steals and displacement effects.

Madame Web Ongoing Hybrid

With move decks weakened post-Dagger nerf, this alternative incorporates Redwing:

• Ant-Man
• Madame Web
• Psylocke
• Sam Wilson
• Luke Cage
• Captain America
• Redwing
• Doom 2099
• Iron Lad
• Blue Marvel
• Doctor Doom
• Spectrum

Core Strategy: Utilize Doom 2099 bots while maintaining board control through movement tricks.

Is Redwing Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Currently—no. Redwing suffers from:

• Limited archetype synergy
• Underwhelming power ceiling
• Stronger upcoming releases
