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 the 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. The combination with Mystique is particularly potent, doubling the effects of cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another, less common, counter to watch out for.

Top Moonstone Decks (Day One):

Two prominent archetypes readily incorporate Moonstone: Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.

• Patriot Deck: This deck utilizes the classic Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo for massive power generation. Adding Moonstone amplifies this strategy significantly. Supporting cards like Ant-Man, Dazzler, and Iron Lad provide additional synergy and flexibility. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (except Alioth). A sample decklist: 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 focuses on buffing and copying Devil Dinosaur's effect. Moonstone enhances this strategy by adding the Ongoing effects of lower-cost cards. Careful placement of Moonstone is crucial, particularly in relation to Mystique's target. Cosmo is essential for countering Enchantress and Rogue. A sample decklist: Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth. Note: Victoria Hand, Wiccan, and Copycat are Series 5 cards and may be substituted with suitable alternatives.

Is Moonstone Worth the Investment?

Absolutely. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and her potential in various deck archetypes, including Zoo decks, makes her a valuable addition. Her impact on the Marvel Snap meta is expected to be significant and long-lasting.
