Shuri Zero FULL Deck Breakdown (How to Pilot)

[@Myaora]

I'd say Cosmo is 100% needed in the current meta because Aero is in pretty much every deck. You play your 30 power Red Skull behind Cosmo and you know it can't get Shang'd but you also know that Aero on turn 6 can't be used to drag your Taskmaster into the Red Skull, meaning you're guaranteed that 30 power on 2 locations.

[@KYeung-be4lw]

Thoughts on Vision or Capt Marvel to play around Aero and location reach? I'm currently using Marvel since she still does her thing if played t6 (esp with skip into Hulk), but Vision is more raw power

[@Myaora]

@@KYeung-be4lw I personally prefer Captain Marvel since you can play her on Turn 6 with She Hulk and she'll still be able to move. If you play Vision on Turn 6 you can't move him around anymore so he really has to be played on 5 as an alternative to Red Skull whereas Captain Marvel offers a bit more flexibility for one less power, 2 less with Shuri buff.

[@Cold-grits]

Cosmo and Armor imo. Both those cards protect from Sheng, and absolutely FUCK on destroy decks with their one-headed predictable plays.

[@rehpotsirk56]

Then you can play taskmaster into the armor lane

[@Priwen-CCG]

Got infinite havung cosmo and armor. Cosmo si just soooo good into thanos to hit his lockjaw lane and against so many other cards like wong, invis woman, aero, etc. Cosmo is a good boy. Also I like cap marvel over vision because I am small brained and she plays all by herself

[@derptothemaxclearly]

I hit infinite for the first time with Deathwave and opened Shuri from a reserve shortly after so I really appreciate these breakdowns!!

[@ashutoshfithz5711]

How many hours needed to reach infinite

[@brandonpatterson4987]

@@lezardvaleth3623 hit it at ~1600. Consider retreating if you don’t have Wave turn 5, priority, and at least one or two (depends on the game) of Death / Aero / She-Hulk. I didn’t play out many games if I didn’t have Wave turn 5. It just shuts down enemy plays. I’m not great at snapping but turn 5 with those good conditions is prob a great time to do it Edit: Priority isn’t 100% required on turn 6 but it’s very strong with Aero

[@brandonpatterson4987]

@@ashutoshfithz5711 maybe 4-5 hours per day for about a week from 70. Grind is really tough from 90-100

[@fabricio3185]

One problem I have is that I keep fighting for priority as you said. But if I do then the Shuri, Red Skull , Taskmaster combo, then the chances of the opponent using Chang Chi on my Taskmaster is quite high. So having priority is not always good.

[@cmciff4054]

love the series, and the detailed card by card breakdown. just got shuri out of the shop and looking forward to the games!

[@RSPereiraRJ]

This is one of the best explanation that i ever seen about marvel snap decks! congrats!

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TravyDead]

Cosmo is secretly the best card in this deck. You play red skull or she hulk on the Cosmo lane, and then the taskmaster anywhere else. They can’t stop you. They can’t Shang or Aero you. They would have to have priority with Cosmo and guess right, but still win another lane, or they would have to not have priority with Shang and guess right, but also win 2 lanes. Big stats on a Cosmo lane just wins almost every game you make that play. Shuri is bonkers.

[@thomassantos4898]

Thanks for the Shuri video. Used my first 3000 tokens on her and already have Zero (got him pretty early after reaching Series 3). Now I just need cards with big numbers to make use of them.

[@banan9377]

I think one good thing about straightforward decks like these in terms of climbing is that you can autopilot your brain somewhat, so it's very easy to just gain consistent cubes. If you think about if you only win 2 cubes but only lose 1 cubes every game, then you only need to win 1 out of every three games to break even (33%), which if you're piloting this properly should be pretty easy to do. A 50% winrate on this setup would net you 1 cube per game which is a lot.

[@Rizz3n]

Very detailed guide, thank you!

[@SeanTheJ0K3R]

What would you suggest for a Shuri nerf? Make her cost 5? Or could ramping into the full combo still be consistent enough that it wouldn't matter? Also, I've been really enjoying the content, super informative

[@edvat2]

I think the idea is that you would be able to ramp into it so that it doesnt matter That way Shuri is less splashable and less consistent but still strong in a deck built around her

[@virtuabutch]

Also, the use of text/graphics is perfect.

[@dgeci]

Super great ! My actual deck. Thanks for the guide !

[@jikew7364]

so comprehensive and helpful! Even though i dont have shuri, this video does prepare me for what to expect for the meta and also provides some tech options. thanks for the great video

[@edvat2]

Heimdall and Dr Octopus are working very well instead of She-Hulk and Arnim Zola right now. That said, Arnim is a strong choice too my decision was between him and task master. I'm not seeing very many Shang Chi, and even then you do have the Armor to play on your right lane to defend against it. So many players have straight up quit when I Doc them. Just an easy snap if you get Shuri, Heimdall and Doc. Those 4 cards alone give you 22 Mid, 10 left plus your early game. Gives you 2 different play patterns too, you can Shuri into Red Skull followed by Task Master or Aero depending on the game state as an alternative win condition. I tried the Captain Marvel version (just love the card, wish it was 7 power). I lost everytime I played Shuri into her, shes just not big enough to cost essentially 9 energy for 14 power (Shuri's 2 plus Marvels 12).

[@edvat2]

Forgot the example deck; 1 Sunspot 1 1 Zero 3 1 Ebony Maw 3 2 Armor 3 2 Lizard 5 3 Cosmo 3 4 Shuri 2 5 Task Master 0 5 Aero 7 5 Dr Octopus 10 5 Red Skull 15 6 Heimdall 8 Cosmo I play where I know that I'm going to play Red Skull so he can't be Shang'd but I will often hold onto him if I'm going to Doc Heim. - Its more risky because if you hit a Shang you lose in most cases Armor is more for Doc - Sometimes Aero saves you if your Zero game was good

[@jasonetheridge2762]

Love the breakdown. It will definitely help me pilot it towards infinite. I'd love to see a Thanos breakdown next. I just bought him and I'm working on getting the rythym down.

You should make a deck breakdown for Mr. Negative. It’s a difficult deck to pilot, especially knowing when to snap and when to retreat. Also with Negative decks get hard countered by Sandman, Leech, Wave, Aero which are all meta cards.

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

I also have to think about what decks people will watch. Not many are playing negative at the moment for the reason you stated.

[@icezik]

​@@EducatedCollinsSnap Mr. Negative is my most played deck this season, and I have run in to a few mirrors. Please, do make a guide. Negative guides are very rare

Learned a lot as always, thank you

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

My pleasure!

[@crewd00d]

Pass turn 5 into a sunspot and she hulk on 6 is 15 power though, right? She hulk costs 1, sunspot costs 1, so 4 floated mana. Sunspot is 1 power plus the 4 floated mana for 5 power. Then add she hulk's 10 power for 15.

[@lincostinko]

Thanks for the weaknesses section!

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

Yeah learned from the first video. A lot of people requested it!

[@andreavetter5015]

Great vid! I noticed you said Zero is not an absolute necessity. What would you sub for him? I don't have him, but I have everything else.

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

Cii oh hold just run sunspot scorpion armor or so and not be so heavy early game. It’s not critical you use zero so they a lot of ways to play out the early game.

[@seanwallace9341]

Hey I like this. Will definitely give it a try, who can I use in place of Aero and She-Hulk

[@araisikewai]

Honestly, what we need right now is how to counter Shuri Zero deck. Baero can be countered with Sandman, Shuri-Zero is a bit more difficult. Shang Chi still pretty often down to 50-50 to counter Shuri-Zero.

[@miguelbarreto791]

As a shuri player there's not a lot of options to counter, mostly what counter this deck is not drawing shuri or some locations against very specific deck with good draws. Also depends on the opponent some shuri decks may try to play with bad draws like no armor or cosmo and shuri on 4 skip 5 to do she hulk taskmaster but sometimes is not enough and you can get shang chid pretty easily so on higher ranks most shuri players will leave

[@spoonman2084]

getting hit with an iceman can really derail this deck i know it has happened to me a few times. they hit shuri it makes you a turn too slow. or if they hit redskull you cant follow up with taskmaster. Still a winnable game for the shuri player but it does make it more challenging. If up against a shuri deck i might wait till turn 3 before i hit them with iceman hoping they get their sunspot and armor etc in play to up the chance of me hitting a big card

[@sadisticmedic8788]

I am using a Shuri deck with Comos, Titantana , and Capt Marvel

[@montanaSD]

Zola is a liability Imo and I prefer the cosmo to add a layer of protection against Shang. They will just aero or cosmo your Zola play every time if red skull is all alone. As for the 1 drops, you could reasonably play iceman over a 1 drop

[@TBRunGood]

Taskmaster replacement? Only card I dont have from the base and I thought hed be considered a core card

[@chosenator8889]

I know it's not ever gonna beat the classic Shuri combo but when I didn't have Shuri I would Psylocke on 4, pass on 5 (great Sunspot value here), then play something like Infinaut and She-Hulk or Magneto She-Hulk.

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

Infinaut and She-Hulk only works if you Magic on 5 same with Magneto. that's why aero she-hulk is so popular.

[@chosenator8889]

@@EducatedCollinsSnap if you play Psylocke on 4 you'll have 6 mana on 5 though. So if you float turn 5 with 6 mana She-Hulk is free and you get to play Infinaut right? I could've sworn that's what I used to do.

[@chosenator8889]

Yeah if you have the line, you can go something like Psylocke and Lizard on turn 4, skip turn 5 because you have 6 mana and then play She-Hulk and a 6 drop on turn 6. I guess it'd be good to run Magik as well for the line you talked about, then you'd have 2 ways to play big cards last turn.

[@MarimoTv]

Shuri + Red Skull got me to 99 this season… but from 99-100 i had to switch to Lockjaw-Thanos, because i got counter in every match since reached 99.. it was frustrating 😅

I have all the cards except Shuri 😭, but I’ve been running a normal zero deck and is pretty good too, I’m close to hit infinite for 2 season in a row, also the majority of the time I have defeated shuri decks have been thanks to aero, it is tricky sometimes because the opponent could Armin Zola, but it seems like they are greedy and just want to do Task, and Aero can beat that

[@t1lt252525]

@@EducatedCollinsSnap Its for this reason that i like having Black Panther in there as another option. He "only" gets to 16 but I already have Zola in my deck so if the RNG works out, I can play Shuri in one lane then BP and Zola in an empty lane. Has been pretty successful for me so far. Granted not everyone has access to BP. I also don't have Zero so i need as much power as i can get at the end.

I'll watch it when i get Shuri,and Red skull, surely by then the card will be nerf,and all of this will be pointless. I give a like anyway cause i think that u are the best snap content creator.

[@Deadmanstrolln]

I'm missing typhoid mary, zola, and taskmaster. Is it still possible to make this deck work without them? (Particularly taskmaster)

[@TheSe7engames]

You want at least taskmaster OR Zola to make it work, copying a 30 red skull to another lane is part 2 to wwhat makes the deck so powerful. (I play this deck a lot)

[@EducatedCollinsSnap]

Yeah taskmaster is the key one. The others are really not as necessary.

[@Awatanation]

Turn 1 Sunspot, 2 armor, 3 cosmo, 4 shuri, 5 red skull in cosmo lane, 6 task master in armor lane is the optimal game. If you cant get cosmo out, but got armor, then red skull armor and if you sense a shang chi on turn 6, then cosmo, zero, titania that lane or aero then zero. It's brainless but strong.

[@nickcope]

Why not start an alt and do breakdowns starting from Pool1 with gameplay examples? You'd be great at it!

I also love Captain Marvel in the deck even tho it’s only 12 power because it puts the pressure on the whole map. I like it if I don’t get Taskmaster or redskull. So I float T5 into a 12 power Captain Marvel and She Hulk so getting Aero’d is irrelevant.
