The new Ongoing card Dazzler in Marvel Snap gains a sharp boost in Power when used in a deck strategy that promotes filling every Location on the player's side by the end of the game. Players familiar with the Zoo archetype will feel right at home using Dazzler, a 4 Energy 4 Power card that gains +6 Power if the player has 4 cards at each Location. When played in tandem with other strong characters that either add cards to the battlefield or boost the universal Power of all cards in play, Dazzler may become an integral part of a player's collection.
While players may certainly be incentivized to run Dazzler in a traditional Zoo deck, there are some advanced options through later Pool cards that give specific builds a unique balance that could trick opponents. For example, players could duplicate Dazzler's Ongoing effect with Mystique or double its efficiency using Onslaught in Marvel Snap as their anchor. Other Ongoing cards that are capable of filling Locations well are an option players might wish to explore at their leisure, but content creators like Hooglandia suggest pairing Dazzler with choices that give her the best conditions to succeed.
Strong anchor cards such as Ultron and Thanos let Dazzler activate their effect, while a more deceptive Swarm deck populates Locations without giving the player's strategy away to the opponent.
Dazzler-Ultron/Patriot Deck
Ultron sports a 6 Energy cost paired with 8 Power that summons 1-Power Drones to fill every Location, leaving no stone unturned as this card single-handedly fulfills Dazzler's prerequisite. Unless an unfortunate Location like The Space Throne limits the number of cards that exist there, players using Dazzler will usually have Ultron as their ultimate game-ending option.
However, these Drones are not incredibly powerful on their own, so players are recommended to use Patriot in Marvel Snap to boost the Power of cards that do not have intrinsic effects.

Dazzler-Thanos Deck
A popular character to grab from the Token Shop for many players, the anchor card Thanos has 6 Energy and 8 Power that has a chance to be bolstered by assembling the six Infinity Stones that shuffle into the deck at the start of a game. These stones easily fill up Locations, as every one of them must be played to give Thanos a possible +10 Power bonus through the Power Stone.
Characters like Lockjaw in Marvel Snap or Quinjet help players filter the stones easily without relying on draws. As these artifacts fill each space, Dazzler has a far better chance to activate their effect, provided there are proper counters to opposing destruction counters like Killmonger.

Dazzler Swarm Deck
Whereas both of the previously suggested decks rely on a supportive anchor to provide Dazzler with the right tools for her effect, this Swarm deck instead functions as a more traditional Zoo strategy. Relying more on cards such as Debrii, Shanna, and Maria Hill to provide players with extra cards in Locations, the standard plan for Dazzler remains with a distinctly different engine.
Good Ongoing cards in Marvel Snap still provide balance in Power, but the key change in this strategy comes from a much faster distribution of a wider variety of cards, despite the random element brought by characters like Shanna and Maria Hill.
