Since its release inMarvel SNAP’s Fly Higher, Further, Faster season in November 2023, Annihilus has become the go-to card for the junk archetype. His unique ability allows you to send your worst cards—those with negative or zero power—over to the enemy side, making him an effective disruptor. Annihilus’s ability to clog lanes and create chaos has made him a formidable counter to many top-tier META decks, earning him the title of one of the most anti-META cards inMarvel SNAP.
For example, when Doom 2099 rose to prominence in PvP, Annihilus was an underrated yet highly effective counter. By using him, you could clog your opponent’s lanes, preventing their DoomBots from spawning and effectively neutralizing their entire strategy.
Given Annihilus’s potential to disrupt top-tier setups, we’ve crafted a solid deck that takes full advantage of his ability. For an even more dangerous lineup, you can pair him with Galactus, turning it into a risky, toxic team.

Why You Should Play Annihilus in SNAP’s 2025 Metagame
Annihilus, and the junk archetype in general, have had a fluctuating relationship with the metagame. However, one thing that has remained consistent is that their high disruption makes them excellent anti-META setups. If you find yourself overwhelmed by an overpowered card, the solution is clear: Get yourself an Annihilus deck.
Annihilus is likely to stand the test of time in 2025 because it targets a fundamental aspect of most decks—real estate. As an expert in clogging lanes, Annihilus can easily disrupt the new cardsSNAPmay release this year. The only real threat to Annihilus would be a resurgence of Destroy decks, but given the current state of the game, that seems unlikely.
