Marvel Snap: Basics, Explained

Get started with Marvel Snap by learning the basics.

Normally, players reveal their cards at the same time—but if you’ve played Daredevil, you get to see your opponent’s moves first on turn five, and then respond. Not bad for a blind guy with super-hearing, right? His variants—aka skins—are just as cool as he is. Here’s a list of the best ones worth snapping for.

10

Pixel Variant

Justice In 8-Bit.

The pixel variant of Daredevil gives him a nice nostalgic vibe. In general, pixel variants add a fun retro touch to cards—but let’s be honest, not every pixel variant is a hit with fans. And frankly, they’ve got a point. Characters like Angel, Deathlok, Deathstrike, and Leech look like they were rendered on a calculator screen.

Being pixelated doesn’t mean it has to be bad, but quality definitely varies. Daredevil isn’t the best pixel variant out there, but he’s far from the worst. The red suit pops nicely against the background, but… why is his mouth wide open like he just heard a bad joke? Tone it down, Matt.

9

Baby Variant

Tiny Horns, Huge Attitude.

Baby variants completely strip away the serious tone of heroes and villains, giving them an adorably chaotic vibe. Seeing someone as grim as Daredevil turned into a baby is already hilarious. Every baby variant has its own comedic twist—Galactus licking Earth like a lollipop, Morbius sipping blood from a baby bottle—peak comedy.

These versions turn world-ending threats into diaper-wearing goofballs. Baby Daredevil? He’s clearly up to no good, casually balancing on a tiny electric wire like it’s a tightrope. Baby or not, the kid’s got skills. We believe in you, Matt—just try not to get grounded by Stick.

8

Zombie Variant

Justice Is Dead. And Hungry.

There aren’t many zombie variants in Marvel Snap—just nine so far—but a few of them are absolute nightmares in the best way. Take Zombie Squirrel Girl, for example. Not only is she undead, but the squirrels she summons are zombies too. That’s nightmare fuel on every level.

Daredevil’s zombie variant also packs some gruesome flair—exposed bones, weapons stuck in his body, the full horror package. In Earth-2149, he turns into a zombie after being bitten by none other than Zombie Spider-Man. Later, he teams up with the undead to eat Magneto. Yup, Daredevil went from Hell’s Kitchen to all-you-can-eat buffet real quick. Spooky stuff, huh?

Silver Age Daredevil

Old Suit, Timeless Style.

One of the rarest variant types in Marvel Snap is the Silver Age variant. So far, only Captain America and Daredevil have one, and their art is pulled straight from vintage comic book covers. Daredevil’s Silver Age variant shows him in that iconic yellow suit—yes, the banana look. The cover is from Daredevil #4, illustrated by Jack Kirby himself, and it’s older than most of us—1964!

While Purple Man doesn’t show up in the variant art, he’s actually on the original cover too. Yep, that creepy mind-controlling villain, also known as Killgrave, made his first appearance there. Now that’s some comic book history in your deck!

6

Knullified Variant

From Hell’s Kitchen To Knull’s Playground.

Knullified variants in Marvel Snap are dark, edgy, and just the right amount of terrifying. Characters like Galactus, Shang-Chi, and Ghost Rider look like they crawled out of a heavy metal album—and surprise, they kind of did! These variants are part of the “Nightmare Before Knullmas” collection. Daredevil’s Knullified variant doesn’t disappoint either.

With his shadowy costume, symbiote weapons, and that disturbingly long tongue sticking out, he looks like he’s about to drop a death growl. This variant art comes from Daredevil #25 (2020). In Daredevil #27, Matt is using his symbiote powers to fight Knull’s army. From blind justice to symbiote slayer—what a resume.

5

Dan Hipp Variant

Small, Stylish, And Ready To Brawl.

There are over 180 Dan Hipp variants in Marvel Snap, and honestly, they’re a whole vibe. His signature art style blends perfectly with Marvel characters, turning even the most intense heroes into adorable, stylish icons. Some cards look downright irresistible in his hands.

While it might not be the best Dan Hipp variant out there (looking at you, Doctor Doom), it’s definitely not a bad one either. Fun fact: Dan Hipp was also the art director for Teen Titans Go! for over 160 episodes. So yes, the man knows how to make chaos cute.

Peach Momoko Variant

Anime Aesthetics, Marvel Mayhem

Peach Momoko’s illustrations look like they stepped right out of an anime dream. Her Daredevil variant might not be overloaded with detail, but the use of contrasting colors and a dynamic pose makes him pop like a panel mid-battle. She’s done over 50 variant illustrations for Marvel Snap, each with her signature ethereal style.

Born in Japan, Peach signed an exclusive deal with Marvel and is both writer and artist for Ultimate X-Men. Inspired by ukiyo-e art and modern pop culture, she uses soft watercolor tones and flowing lines to create dreamy, mystical vibes. Oh, and she also wrote and illustrated Demon Days, a mini-series that reimagines Marvel characters through Japanese folklore. Talk about a one-woman art dojo.

Marco Checchetto Variant

This Daredevil variant is full of energy and absolutely nails his heroic stance. Bursting through a church window and landing on a rooftop like a righteous ninja, this artwork comes from a cover of Chip Zdarsky’s Daredevil: Truth & Dare run.

Italian comic artist Marco Checchetto is the mastermind behind it, known for his work on Daredevil, Old Man Hawkeye, Punisher, Spider-Man, Avengers, and even Star Wars. Checchetto’s style is all about dynamic action and finely detailed characters—and this variant is textbook Checchetto. Honestly, if leaping through stained glass was an Olympic event, Daredevil just took gold with style.

2

Watercolor Variant

One Variant To Rule Them All

This Daredevil variant is proof that watercolor can be downright epic. He looks like a true warrior of justice—bold, brooding, and probably listening to sad violins in the rain. It’s also the only watercolor variant in all of Marvel Snap, making it extra special.

The artwork comes from the cover of Daredevil #15 (1998), where Echo discovers Daredevil’s weakness and uses it against him. Things escalate quickly when her next target becomes Wilson Fisk—cue dramatic tension. The red and white tones in this piece perfectly capture Daredevil’s lone-wolf nature, making it both haunting and undeniably cool. Watercolor never looked so deadly.

Marco Checchetto Variant

Perched High, Justice Served Low.

The Daredevil variant ranked third on this list isn’t the only one illustrated by Marco Checchetto. It’s got that classic heroic pose we all love, but with a heavy dose of gritty mood. Daredevil’s perched on a rooftop next to a gargoyle, brooding like it’s his full-time job.

The artwork is from Daredevil #1 (2022), released after the beloved Devil’s Reign arc, where Elektra temporarily took over the Daredevil mantle. With this new series, the horns are handed back to Matt Murdock—just in time for Hell’s Kitchen’s darkest days. Basically, it screams, “Justice… but make it gloomy.”
