How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." This means he summons a card generated by effects like White Queen or Arishem—cards not originally in your deck. This adds a layer of strategy, as Eson won't pull cards that started in your deck.

Because Eson is a 6-cost card, you'll need ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him earlier and maximize his value. The primary counter isn't Gorgon (which won't work), but rather flooding your opponent's hand with undesirable cards like rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold.

Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Eson synergizes exceptionally well with Arishem. In fact, using one without the other feels suboptimal. Arishem allows you to play Eson on turn 5 and get two free card pulls. Here's a strong deck:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2099
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galactus
• Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

This deck features Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. While Arishem and Doom 2099 are essential, other cards are flexible. Consider Jeff, Agent Coulson, or Blob as substitutes.

This deck uses Eson as an alternative win condition if you don't draw Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. Save Arishem's generated cards for after playing Eson on turn 5, giving you two turns to utilize them. If no good pulls appear, substitute Doctor Doom for Eson. Avoid playing Eson for more than three turns; turn 5 is ideal. Note the anti-synergy between Eson and Doom 2099; choose your game plan accordingly.

Finding other suitable decks for Eson is challenging. However, a hand-generation deck similar to older Devil Dinosaur lists might work (without Devil Dinosaur):

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Iron Patriot
• Peni Parker
• Valentina
• Victoria Hand
• Agent Coulson
• White Queen
• Luna Snow
• Wiccan
• Mockingbird
• Eson

This list includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is crucial; others are replaceable with cards like Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave.

The goal is to play Wiccan on turn 4, discarding generated cards with Quinjet to play cheaper cards before Eson pulls expensive ones late game. Mockingbird provides another power boost, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson. Playlines are highly variable due to card generation, making it inconsistent but fun.

Should You Spend Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens on Eson?

Unless you're a dedicated Arishem player, spending resources on Eson might not be the best use of your Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens, especially with promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu releasing this month. However, if you heavily utilize Arishem, Eson is a worthwhile investment.

Those are the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap currently available.
