There’s a case to be made that one ofMarvel SNAP’s underrated cards has to be The Living Tribunal. At some point in the metagame, this fearsome entity ruled over the meta and put fear in many players’ hearts. But he was gradually forgotten despite facing no significant nerfs or downgrading reworks. So, is The Living Tribunal a bad, bygoneMarvel SNAPcard, or is he just an abandoned powerhouse that more players should exploit? I think it’s the latter—he’s just a good classic card trapped under a pile of new, shiny ones.
If you’re looking to resurrect The Living Tribunal’s power and surprise your opponents with ridiculously high numbers on your side of the board, I’ve got you covered. This Living Tribunal deck, which you’ll learn about in the following guide, has the potential to give you over a million Power in each location.

Here are some notes and tips to keep in mind:
How to Counter The Living Tribunal
The Living Tribunal’s direct counters areEnchantress, Echo, and Rogue. These anti-Ongoing tech cards can do a perfect job of preventing, stealing, or removing The Living Tribunal’s effect.
The only catch is that none of these cards are as multipurpose as other tech options like Cosmo or Shang-Chi. So, having them in your deck for the sake of countering The Living Tribunal—a rare character in the meta—doesn’t seem the most viable option.
Can The Living Tribunal Have a Place in the Meta?
Many argued thatthe release of Moonstonewould revive The Living Tribunal. After all, she can generate immense Power in a single lane—so why not maximize it by spreading it across the board with The Living Tribunal?
The thing about The Living Tribunal is that he has such a practical text that there’s almost always a possibility for him to return to the top of the meta. He is one meta-breaker card away from becoming a staple part of most decks, and that’s the beauty of its design.
