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 guide explores her capabilities and showcases optimal deck builds.
Understanding Moonstone's Mechanics
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing effect: "Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here." This makes her exceptionally synergistic with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Furthermore, combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, particularly those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo also presents a less common but significant counter.
Top Moonstone Decks (Day One)
Moonstone seamlessly integrates into decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur decks.
Patriot Deck:
This deck leverages Patriot's synergy with Mystique and Ultron for massive power generation. Moonstone amplifies this strategy. The deck list includes: Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, and Ultron. (Untapped.gg link omitted for brevity). Ant-Man and Dazzler offer additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad provides card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards like Patriot and Mystique from counters.
Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur Deck:
This popular deck combines Devil Dinosaur's power with Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone enhances this strategy, requiring careful placement to maximize synergy with Mystique. The deck list includes: Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, and Alioth. (Untapped.gg link omitted for brevity). Copycat is a flexible slot; consider Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot as alternatives. Cosmo counters Enchantress and Rogue.
Is Moonstone Worth the Investment?
Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and her potential in various decks, including Zoo decks, makes her a valuable addition. Her impact on the meta is expected to be significant.
