Muse has a narrow home, but I came away incredibly underwhelmed. Muse is a three-cost Ongoing card that gains +3 Power for each location where one of my cards has been destroyed. That asks me to care about where my destroys happened, then rewards Muse for spreading those destroys around. [Wilson Fisk](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/wilson-fisk) had just felt like an incredibly easy ask, while Muse needed destroys to push toward a similar payoff. I could see the potential, but I kept finding Muse only okay. That gap between possible power and a suitable deck home stayed with me as I tested different versions, because I found Muse grew stronger when I leaned more heavily into one sub-element of destroy. I kept running into the same question, though: where does Muse belong when I am building a destroy deck that already knows what it wants to do? ## Muse Is Not a Classic Destroy Fallback My first instinct was to treat Muse as a backup option in classic destroy. That was the wrong frame for the card. Classic destroy did not want Muse. In a separate hybrid experiment, I was just trying to pop off on turn five, and if it did not happen, I died. There was not enough substance to that deck. Muse did not solve that problem. That is the biggest trap with Muse. It does not give classic destroy a comfortable safety net. Trying to make it cover an awkward draw or [rescue](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/rescue) a missed combo made the card feel worse. I would not go back into that first hybrid direction. Muse wants commitment. It wants destroys in the locations that matter, and it wants a deck whose endgame already welcomes a late three-cost power play. When I leaned into one sub-element of destroy instead of asking Muse to patch every weakness, the card became much more convincing. ## [Morgan le Fay](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/morgan-le-fay) Was Closer, but [Dormammu](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/dormammu) Pulled Against It Morgan le Fay felt much closer to what Muse wants. The crucial piece was [Killmonger](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/killmonger). I cannot overstate that part: Killmonger was the reason Muse felt like it had a chance to be decent in this style of deck. The line I wanted involved getting [Squirrel Girl](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/squirrel-girl) down, destroying the Squirrels. This is a different destroy endgame from the classic Deadpool-style approach. Combo destroy wants cheap cards that can become meaningful final-turn power, which gives Muse a clearer role. The issue came from trying to put Dormammu beside that Morgan le Fay plan. Some games wanted to begin a Dormammu game plan. Other games leaned into Morgan le Fay. Those directions competed with each other, and Muse did not get enough destroys in the right places unless I was doing Squirrel Girl. Squirrel Girl helped, but the overall build only came close. I still want to try Morgan le Fay with Muse again without Dormammu. ## [Moira X](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/moira-x) Made the Hand Package More Promising Muse felt far better with [Mother Askani](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/mother-askani), [Moon Girl](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/moon-girl), [Death](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/death), and [Victoria Hand](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/victoria-hand). Killmonger plus Squirrel Girl was still a good hit, but Moira X gave the package an important layer. If I am bringing a card back into my hand, I need that process to be cheap. Moira X, [X-23](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/x-23), and the Squirrels gave me small cards to work through. This version felt ten times better. Death offered a large drop, while Mother Askani put power into my hand that was hidden. If I knew I was facing a Mobius deck, I could avoid targeting Death. ## All-In Dormammu Was the Clear Winner The best Muse deck I played that day was the traditional, all-in Dormammu version rather than a Morgan le Fay hybrid. That deck felt better than the others by a mile. It also gave Muse exactly what it was asking for: multiple destroys, more cards returning to hand, and duplication. Moira X also helped put more power onto Dormammu. [Weapon X Wolverine](https://itsguestgaming.com/marvel-snap/cards/weapon-x-wolverine) also felt good on turn two, and I could play catch-up with everything else later. Missing the turn-one engine did not leave me feeling behind in the same way. The deck felt much more balanced. This is where I landed on Muse’s timing, too. I wanted to play it on turn three or save it for the final turn. In a focused destroy sub-plan, that flexibility is valuable. In a scattered list, it is not enough. ## I Would Spend Tokens Elsewhere Muse is very niche. If you are a destroy player who wants to go deep on a focused Morgan le Fay or Dormammu-style plan, I can see the appeal. Build around it, give it repeated destroys, and let it be a turn-three or final-turn card. For classic destroy, I did not get there. The Deadpool-style versions I tried did not work well, and Muse did not feel like the backup piece I hoped it would be. Muse does not show updated Power in hand, so I keep track of the locations where destroys happened. I want to play Muse on turn three or as the final card. It is not a backup when I did not get the combo. The role it wants is in a focused destroy plan today. My verdict remains underwhelmed. Muse offers flexible stats in the right destroy shell, but I think there are better uses for tokens unless that narrow playstyle is already what you want to play.
