How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the 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 Ongoing effects, notably those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, negating her lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another, less common, counter to consider in combo-heavy decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent archetypes are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.

Patriot Deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped link removed]

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot combo (Patriot + Mystique + Ultron) amplified by Moonstone, potentially reaching 48 power. Ant-Man and Dazzler offer alternative strategies, while Iron Lad provides card draw and 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 link removed]

This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur combo (Devil Dinosaur + Mystique + Agent Coulson), enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone requires strategic placement, depending on whether Mystique copies Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress. Copycat can be replaced with similar 3-cost cards (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot).

Is Moonstone Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Moonstone is a worthwhile investment, likely to remain meta-relevant due to her synergy with Mystique and other Ongoing cards. Her versatility extends to Zoo decks as well. Her impact on the Marvel Snap meta is expected to be significant.
