How Moonstone Works 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." This makes her highly synergistic with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, particularly with cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but potent counter.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two strong contenders are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur decks.
Patriot Deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped List Link Here]
This deck utilizes the classic Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo, amplified by Moonstone. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (excluding Alioth).
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 List Link Here]
This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur combo with Mystique and Agent Coulson. Victoria Hand enhances the power of cards like Hawkeye and Kate Bishop, while Moonstone adds further strategic depth. Copycat is a flexible slot, replaceable with cards like Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot. Careful placement of Cosmo is crucial to counter Enchantress.
Is Moonstone Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and potential integration into Zoo decks makes her a valuable addition with long-term meta impact. Her ongoing ability will likely influence deck building strategies for months to come.
