How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a formidable 6-cost card boasting 10 power. His unique ability states: “End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here.” A "created card" is any card generated during the game, such as those from White Queen or Arishem, and not those originally in your deck. This allows you to strategically manage which cards Eson pulls to the board.

Given his high cost, leveraging ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow will be crucial to play Eson early and maximize his value. The only direct counter to Eson is to fill your opponent's hand with less desirable cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, since Gorgon’s effect won't work on him.

Eson synergizes exceptionally well with Arishem. Playing Eson without Arishem is generally not advisable, as Arishem enables you to deploy Eson on turn 5, allowing for two free pulls. Here’s a deck list to get you started:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2088
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galacta Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

The Series 5 cards in this deck include Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. Essential for this strategy are Doom 2099 and Arishem, though you can swap in cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob for flexibility.

Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition, especially useful if you don’t draw Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. Save Arishem's generated cards for after playing Eson on turn 5, allowing for two turns of pulls. If no suitable pulls are available, you can skip Eson and opt for Doctor Doom instead.

Keep in mind that playing Eson for more than three turns is not ideal, so aim to play him on turn 5. Also, be aware of the anti-synergy with Doom 2099, and decide your game plan before committing to either card.

Another potential deck for Eson is a hand-generation deck, akin to the old Devil Dinosaur lists, but without Devil Dinosaur:

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

The Series 5 cards here include Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is crucial, though other cards can be swapped for Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave.

This deck aims to play Wiccan on turn 4, utilizing Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards. Play the cheaper cards before Eson can pull the more expensive ones late game. Mockingbird offers an additional power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help get Eson out early. The deck's playlines will vary widely with generated cards, making it both inconsistent and thrilling.

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

If you're short on resources and don’t play Arishem, it’s probably best to hold off on acquiring Eson, especially with other exciting cards like Starbrand and Khonshu coming soon. However, if you're a dedicated Arishem player, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And those are the best Eson decks to elevate your gameplay in Marvel Snap.
