Knowing a deck’s strengths and weaknesses against other decks is half the battle to being successful in Parallel.

To help you understand the difficulty of your games when playing with a Marco deck, here’s an overview of the different matchups and what to be aware of beforehand.

‍

SHROUD - Strong against this Parallel and able to overwhelm with units on the board or deal massive damage directly before Shroud has time to control. Marco gets weaker the longer a game goes on against Shroud. 

‍

AUGENCORE - OK against this Parallel which develops a board slower than Marco allowing for lots of units and damage early. Be sure to win the game fast before Augencore’s big upgrades and units arrive. 

‍

EARTHEN - Weak against this Parallel as they can ramp energy quicker allowing them to play big Defender units earlier making it harder to control the board. Dealing damage directly is often the best strategy.

‍

KATHARI - OK against this Parallel as Kathari is also an aggro deck which can develop a board just as quickly as Marco. Their weakness is a lack of removal options and cards which can deal damage directly. 

‍

UNIVERSAL - OK against this Parallel which can control the board early and has units to stop Assault as well as inflicting damage for using Effects. Their late-game cards are also tough for Marco to deal with.
