How Eson Works in Marvel Snap
---------------------------Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with the ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." This means Eson can pull cards that were generated during the game, not ones that started in your deck. Cards like those from White Queen or Arishem fall into this category.
To maximize Eson's potential, you'll want to get him out early. Ramp cards such as Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow can help you achieve this. The only direct counter to Eson is filling your opponent's hand with less desirable cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold.
Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap
--------------------------------------Eson shines brightest when paired with Arishem. Here's a deck list that pairs the two:
- Iron Patriot
- Valentina

- Galacta
- Daughter of Galactus
- Legion
- Doctor Doom
- Mockingbird
- Eson
- Arishem

This deck includes several Series 5 cards, but Doom 2099 and Arishem are crucial. You can substitute other cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob as needed. Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition if you don't draw Mockingbird or other high-power cards. You can hold onto Arishem's generated cards until after playing Eson on turn 5, allowing you two turns to play them. If you don't have suitable pulls, skip Eson and play Doctor Doom instead.
Remember, you don't want to play Eson for more than three turns, so turn 5 is ideal. Be mindful of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099 and plan your strategy accordingly.
Finding another deck for Eson can be challenging, but a hand-generation deck inspired by old Devil Dinosaur lists might work. Here’s an example:
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Iron Patriot
- Peni Parker
- Valentina
- Victoria Hand
- Agent Coulson
- White Queen
- Luna Snow
- Wiccan
- Mockingbird
- Eson

This deck includes Series 5 cards, but Wiccan is the must-have. Others can be swapped for cards like Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave. The goal is to play Wiccan on turn 4, using Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards. Eson can then pull the more expensive cards later in the game. Mockingbird provides another power boost, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help you play Eson earlier.
This deck's playstyle will vary as you generate cards, making it both inconsistent and thrilling.
Should You Spend Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens on Eson?
--------------------------------------------------------------------If you're short on resources and not playing Arishem, it might not be worth investing in Eson, especially with other exciting cards like Starbrand and Khonshu coming soon. However, if you're an Arishem enthusiast, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.
And there you have it—the best Eson decks for Marvel Snap. Enjoy strategizing and dominating the game!
