How Moonstone Functions 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.
Top Moonstone Decks
Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are:
Patriot Deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped link omitted]
This deck utilizes the classic Patriot combo, amplified by Moonstone. The synergy with Mystique and Ultron can yield a powerful late-game surge. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional support, while Iron Lad offers card draw flexibility, and 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 link omitted]
This deck incorporates the popular Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Moonstone and Victoria Hand. The combination of Victoria Hand (copied by Mystique) and Moonstone significantly boosts Sentinel power. Careful placement of Cosmo is crucial to counter cards like Enchantress. Copycat is a flexible slot, replaceable with cards like Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot.
Is Moonstone Worth the Investment?
Yes, Moonstone is a valuable addition to your Marvel Snap collection. Her synergy with Mystique creates diverse strategic possibilities, extending beyond the decks mentioned. Her Ongoing effect will likely remain meta-relevant for a considerable time, making her a worthwhile investment using Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens.
