How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with a potent ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This makes her incredibly versatile and synergistic with a wide range of cards.
She works wonders with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. The real magic happens when you combine her with Mystique to double the power of Ongoing effects, including those of Iron Man and Onslaught.
However, Moonstone isn't without weaknesses. Enchantress can completely neutralize her effects, making Cosmo a crucial counter-card. Echo is another less common, but still effective, counter to consider.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone's low-cost Ongoing synergy makes her a natural fit for several strong existing decks. Two stand out: a Patriot deck and a Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur deck.
Here's a strong Patriot-focused deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]
This deck, excluding Moonstone, features only Series 4 or lower cards. The core strategy involves using Patriot and Mystique to create a powerful endgame, further amplified by Ultron. Ant-Man and Dazzler offer additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad provides card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters.
Next, let's look at a Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur deck incorporating Moonstone:
Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]
This deck contains Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand, Wiccan), which are difficult to replace. Copycat offers flexibility, allowing for substitutions. The strategy relies on Devil Dinosaur and Mystique, enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone adds significant power to this already potent combo. Careful placement of Cosmo is vital to counter cards like Enchantress.
Is Moonstone Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Absolutely. Moonstone's versatility and synergy with Mystique make her a valuable addition to many decks. Her impact on the meta is likely to be significant, making her a worthwhile investment. Expect to see her integrated into various deck archetypes, including Zoo decks, in the coming weeks.
