In Marvel lore, Luke’s Bar is a watering hole owned by Luke Cage, the bulletproof man. In Marvel Snap, it’s a pain in the backside unless you build your deck around it, especially when it’s a Hot or Featured location and you know it’s coming.

Here’s what you need to know about Luke’s Bar and how to play it for the win when it comes up as a location in your game.

This Luke guy is a real jerk. In the Luke’s Bar location in Marvel Snap, any card you play there will immediately be returned to your hand.

This means that On Reveal cards will be the play, as well as cards that play cards into other locations. You can build your deck around these for whenever Luke’s Bar is the Hot or Featured Location in Marvel Snap.

How to win Luke’s Bar in Marvel Snap

Disruption and annoyance are the names of the game when it comes to Luke’s Bar, which is quite an annoying location in its own right. But you can build your deck around plays that will both make your opponent’s game a living hell and also give you the flexibility to play a card multiple times.

Most On Reveal card is a good play at Luke’s Bar since the On Reveal effect can be played multiple times throughout the game. And the lower the cost of the On Reveal card, the better, since you can then play multiple in the same turn.

As is the case with any annoying location, though, using cards that will transform or change the location is always a good idea as well. Because if your opponent has built a deck for the location and you ruin it, that will immediately flip the cube odds in your favor.

Disruption

Black WidowStormDebriiWhite TigerDoctor DoomOdin

This is arguably one of the most annoying deck and location combinations in Marvel Snap. The bulk of these cards are such a pain to deal with that you can snap quite early if you have a few of these cards in hand, knowing full well that your opponent likely just won’t even want to play it out.

You can use Korg to fill their deck with rocks, Iceman to up the energy cost for cards in their hand, Scorpion to lower the power of call cards in their hand, Hazmat and Luke Cage to lower the power of cards they’ve played, Black Widow to prevent them from pulling cards in successive cards, and Debrii to completely clog up their playing field.

A spin on a classic Patriot deck, a few of the cards here will allow you to play cards into Luke’s Bar without losing them. You can play Squirrel Girl in another location to get a squirrel in there or use Jubilee, Mister Sinister, or Brood to pull multiple cards without having them bounced.

Once your field is full, you can play Ka-Zar for their buffs and then finish off the game with Ultron on turn six to fill the remaining slots with one-cost cards that should be getting buffed from Ka-Zar and Patriot as well as Mystique.

Discard Hela

This is one of the more popular, standard Discard decks on Untapped.gg, and it would work quite well into Luke’s Bar. The aim is to discard all of the big cards other than Hela, and then play Hela on turn six to have their big power numbers spawn across all three locations.

You can use Blade multiple times on Luke’s Bar to discard several big cards, all at the risk of losing Hela. But if you do use Hela, there should be enough power across the rest of the locations with the other cards you play to keep you in line for the win.
