Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, copies the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane. While powerful, her fragility earns her the "Glass Cannon" moniker. Testing reveals two optimal deck builds: Patriot and Tribunal strategies.

The Best Deck for Moonstone

Moonstone excels as a support card, not a primary win condition. A Patriot-Ultron deck provides a reliable framework. Focus on copying one or two key Ongoing effects.

This deck includes: Brood, Mystique, Dazzler, Mockingbird, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Squirrel Girl, Blue Marvel, Mister Sinister, Patriot, and Ultron.

Deck Synergies:

• Set up buffs with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl.
• Use one lane for Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order).
• Deploy Ultron in the final round to maximize buffed locations.
• Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.

An Alternative Deck for Moonstone

For a more exciting, less consistent approach, pair Moonstone with Onslaught and The Living Tribunal. This makes Moonstone a primary win condition.

This deck includes: Onslaught, The Living Tribunal, Mystique, Magik, Psylocke, Sera, Iron Man, Ravonna Renslayer, Captain America, Howard the Duck, Iron Lad, and Moonstone.

Ideal Play:

1. Use Psylocke to play Moonstone early.
2. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in her lane.
3. Use The Living Tribunal to distribute power across lanes in the final round.

Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the game, and Captain America/Iron Lad offer backup. However, Super Skrull counters this strategy effectively.

How to Counter Moonstone

Super Skrull is a significant counter to Moonstone. Enchantress, Rogue, and Echo also neutralize her abilities. Moonstone's reliance on her own lane makes her vulnerable to these cards, or to Super Skrull in another lane.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, for several reasons:

1. Her ability will gain value as more synergistic Ongoing cards are released.
2. She's in a Spotlight Cache with other Series Five cards, reducing the risk of poor pulls.
3. She offers nostalgic, high-impact combo potential.
