Alright, let’s talk about this here… uh… “cannonball deck” thingy in that Marvel Snap game. My grandson, he’s always fiddlin’ with it on his phone. Seems like a whole lotta fuss over little pictures, but he says it’s fun, so what do I know? Anyways, he showed me this “cannonball” fella, looks like a fella flyin’ around, all shiny and whatnot.
Now, from what I gather, this cannonball guy ain’t no good just by himself. You gotta have other fellas to make him work. It’s like makin’ a stew, ya see? One potato don’t make no stew. You need carrots, some meat, maybe some onions if you ain’t got company comin’. Same with this cannonball. He needs his buddies.

My grandson, he tells me about some cards that go good with cannonball. Kraven, that’s one. Sounds like a grumpy old man, probably got a bad back like me. Then there’s Kingpin, sounds like a big shot. And Jeff, just plain old Jeff, I guess. Nightcrawler… sounds like somethin’ that sneaks around in the garden at night, eatin’ my tomatoes! Silk, somethin’ fancy, like them city folks wear. Aero, gotta be one of them airplane thingies. Magneto… He sounds like trouble. Shang-Chi, like somethin’ you order at that fancy Chinese place downtown. Jean Grey, a lady, huh? Probably got more sense than all them fellas put together. And Hope Summers, sounds like a sweet girl. You put all these fellas together, and boom! That cannonball starts doin’ his thing.
My grandson says it’s all about movin’ folks around. Like, you move Nightcrawler over here, then you move Silk over there, and then, WHAM! Cannonball jumps in and does somethin’ fancy. It’s like herding chickens, only with superheroes. You gotta kinda nudge ’em where you want ’em to go. And that Kingpin fella, he’s like the fence, keepin’ folks where you want ’em.

Now, my grandson, he keeps talkin’ about “power.” Says some cards are stronger than others. He mentioned some big fellas, Infinaut, sounds like somethin’ outta space. Destroyer, that don’t sound good. Giganto, even bigger, I reckon. Agatha Harkness, another lady, must be tough as nails. And Red Skull, sounds like a mean one. These fellas, they got the muscle, see? They can smash things real good. But they ain’t always the best for that cannonball fella, ’cause it ain’t all about muscle, sometimes you gotta be sneaky, like a fox in the henhouse.
He also said something about not being “comfortable snapping confidently with the deck just yet.” I told him, “Well, snapping confidently” ain’t gonna put food on the table. You gotta practice, boy! You wanna be good at somethin’, you gotta keep at it. Like milkin’ a cow, you don’t get it right the first time, you just keep squeezin’ till you do. Same with this here game, I reckon.
So, there you have it, my take on this here “cannonball deck.” It’s all about puttin’ the right folks together, movin’ ’em around, and havin’ a bit of luck. And maybe some power, too. But mostly, it’s about havin’ fun, I guess. Even if it just looks like a bunch of pictures movin’ around on a little screen to this old lady. My grandson seems to like it, so that’s good enough for me.
