Moonstone's Mechanics in Marvel Snap
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing ability: "Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here."
Moonstone excels when paired with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of ongoing effects, including those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but significant counter for combo-heavy Moonstone decks.
Top Moonstone Decks
Moonstone integrates well into decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand decks.
Patriot Deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped link removed]
This deck, excluding Moonstone, consists of Series 4 or lower cards. The core strategy involves Patriot, Mystique, and Ultron for massive power generation, significantly amplified by Moonstone. Ant-Man and Dazzler offer alternative synergies. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters.
Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur Deck:
Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth. [Untapped link removed]
This deck includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand, Wiccan), which are difficult to replace. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card. The strategy centers around Devil Dinosaur, amplified by Mystique and Victoria Hand, with Moonstone further enhancing the power. Cosmo counters Enchantress. Careful placement of cards is crucial.
Is Moonstone Worth the Investment?
Moonstone is a valuable addition, likely to remain meta-relevant due to her synergy with Mystique and her potential in various deck archetypes, including Zoo decks. Her ongoing effect makes her a strong contender.
Marvel Snap is currently available.
