This guide explores effective deck strategies for Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, which copies the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in its lane. While powerful, Moonstone's fragility earns it the "Glass Cannon" moniker. Two optimal deck builds are detailed below, along with counter strategies and a final assessment of Moonstone's value.
Top Moonstone Deck: Patriot & Ultron Synergy
This deck utilizes Moonstone as a support card within a Patriot-Ultron framework. The focus is on leveraging one or two key Ongoing effects rather than relying solely on Moonstone's ability.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| Moonstone | 4 | 6 |
| Patriot | 3 | 1 |
| Ultron | 6 | 8 |
| Brood | 3 | 2 |
| Ant-Man | 1 | 1 |
| Mystique | 3 | 0 |
| Iron Man | 5 | 0 |
| Mister Sinister | 2 | 2 |
| Dazzler | 2 | 2 |
| Squirrel Girl | 1 | 2 |
| Mockingbird | 6 | 9 |
| Blue Marvel | 5 | 3 |
Synergy: Prepare the board with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl. Play Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order) in one lane. Deploy Ultron in the final round to maximize buffs. Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird serve as backup options.
Alternative Moonstone Deck: Onslaught & Living Tribunal Focus
This deck prioritizes exciting, high-risk gameplay, using Moonstone as a primary win condition with Onslaught and The Living Tribunal.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| Moonstone | 4 | 6 |
| Onslaught | 6 | 7 |
| The Living Tribunal | 6 | 9 |
| Mystique | 3 | 0 |
| Ravonna Renslayer | 2 | 2 |
| Iron Man | 5 | 0 |
| Captain America | 3 | 3 |
| Howard the Duck | 1 | 2 |
| Magik | 3 | 2 |
| Psylocke | 2 | 2 |
| Sera | 5 | 4 |
| Iron Lad | 4 | 6 |
Ideal Play: Use Psylocke for early Moonstone placement. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in her lane. In the final round, distribute power across lanes using The Living Tribunal. Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, while Magik extends the game. Captain America and Iron Lad offer backup. Note that Super Skrull is a significant counter to this strategy.
Countering Moonstone
Moonstone is vulnerable to several cards: Super Skrull easily negates her abilities. Enchantress, Rogue, and Echo also effectively counter her by disrupting her lane. The key weakness is her reliance on her own lane; hiding her behind Invisible Woman can offer some protection.
Is Moonstone Worth It?
Yes, for several reasons: Her ability will become increasingly valuable with future Ongoing card releases. She's in a Spotlight Cache with other Series Five cards, mitigating the risk of unsuccessful pulls. Finally, she offers a nostalgic, high-impact playstyle.
