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 pairs exceptionally well with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. The real power, however, comes from combining her with Mystique to double the effect of powerful Ongoing abilities, such as those from Iron Man and Onslaught.
However, Moonstone isn't without weaknesses. Enchantress completely negates her effects in a lane, unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but significant counter to consider when building your deck.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone excels in decks built around low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent archetypes currently utilize her effectively: Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.
Let's examine a strong Patriot 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, contains only Series 4 cards or lower, making it highly accessible. The core strategy revolves around the Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo for massive late-game power. Moonstone amplifies this strategy, doubling the effect, potentially reaching 48 power without counters. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw and Invisible Woman protects key cards from removal.
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 includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand, Wiccan), making it slightly less accessible. Copycat can be substituted with other 3-cost cards like Red Guardian or Rocket and Groot. The strategy focuses on Devil Dinosaur and Mystique synergy, boosted by Victoria Hand's buffs and Agent Coulson's card draw. Moonstone adds another layer of power, particularly when combined with a Mystique-copied Victoria Hand. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress. Careful placement of Cosmo and Moonstone is essential for maximum impact.
Is Moonstone Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Absolutely. Moonstone's versatility and synergy potential make her a valuable addition to any collection. Her impact on the meta is expected to be long-lasting, given her ability to synergize with a wide range of cards and decks, including Zoo decks. Any deck utilizing Ongoing effects will likely find a place for Moonstone.
