Moonstone Mastery: Unlocking Cosmic Power in Marvel Snap Decks

Marvel Snap's Newest Addition: Moonstone and Her Top Decks

Moonstone, a relatively obscure Marvel Comics character, joins the Marvel Snap roster during the Dark Avengers season. This 4-cost, 6-power card boasts a unique ability: "Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here." This makes her incredibly versatile and powerful.

Moonstone's Synergies and Weaknesses

Moonstone excels when paired with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Her power is amplified when combined with Mystique, doubling the effects of cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates her effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another, less common, counter to watch out for.

Top Moonstone Decks (Day One)

Two prominent decks effectively utilize Moonstone: a Patriot deck and a Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur deck.

Patriot Deck:

This deck leverages the synergy between Patriot, Mystique, and Ultron for massive power plays. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional support, while Iron Lad helps find key cards. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (except Alioth). Moonstone amplifies the ongoing effects of these cards, leading to potentially overwhelming board states. A sample decklist (from Untapped):

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron

Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur Deck:

This popular deck combines Devil Dinosaur, Mystique, and Victoria Hand for powerful turn 5 plays.

Key cards in this deck (from Untapped):

Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth (Note: Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card).
