How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a formidable 6-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." A created card is one generated during gameplay, such as those from White Queen or Arishem, not originally part of your starting deck. This allows you to strategically target Eson's ability, as it won't pull cards from your initial deck onto the board.

Given his high cost, you'll need ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play Eson early and maximize his value. The only direct counter to Eson is filling your opponent's hand with unwanted cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, since Gorgon won't affect him.

Eson synergizes well with Arishem, making it almost essential to include both in your deck. Arishem allows you to play Eson on turn 5 and get two free pulls. Here’s a recommended deck list:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2088
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galacta Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. However, only Doom 2099 and Arishem are crucial for this strategy. You can substitute other cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob.

Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition, especially if you don't pull Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. Save the cards generated by Arishem for after playing Eson on turn 5, allowing two turns to utilize them. If you don't have any pulls, consider skipping Eson and playing Doctor Doom instead.

Note that playing Eson for more than three turns is generally not advisable, so getting him out on turn 5 is ideal. Also, be aware of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099, and plan your game strategy accordingly.

Finding another deck for Eson can be challenging, but a hand-generation deck similar to old Devil Dinosaur lists might work—minus the Devil Dinosaur. Here’s another deck list:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Iron Patriot
• Peni Parker
• Valentina
• Victoria Hand
• Agent Coulson
• White Queen
• Luna Snow
• Wiccan
• Mockingbird
• Eson

Click here to copy this list from Untapped.

The Series 5 cards in this list include Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is a must-have, but other cards can be replaced with Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave.

The goal here is to play Wiccan on turn 4, using Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards. Play the cheaper cards before Eson pulls the more expensive ones later in the game. Mockingbird provides a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson out early. This deck's playlines can vary greatly, making it both inconsistent and incredibly fun.

Should You Spend Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens on Eson?

If you're low on resources and not an Arishem player, it might not be wise to invest in Eson, especially with other promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu on the horizon. However, if you frequently play Arishem decks, Eson is a valuable addition.

And those are the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap.
