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, including those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, negating her effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another, less common, but significant counter for combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent archetypes currently leverage her strengths: 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 deck link here]

This deck, excluding Moonstone, consists entirely of Series 4 or lower cards. The core strategy involves using Patriot with Mystique, followed by Ultron for a powerful late-game surge. Moonstone amplifies this combo significantly. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (except 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 deck link here]

This deck includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand, Wiccan), which are difficult to replace. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot). The strategy centers on Devil Dinosaur, amplified by Mystique and Agent Coulson. Victoria Hand enhances the power of Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and Agent Coulson's cards. Moonstone requires careful placement to maximize synergy with Mystique's copied effects, particularly Victoria Hand or Devil Dinosaur. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress.

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

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 likely to be significant and long-lasting.
