How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This makes her exceptionally effective when paired with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Her power is amplified when combined with Mystique, doubling the effects of cards such as Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but potent counter.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand decks.

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 synergy with Mystique and Ultron for massive power generation. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards like Patriot and Mystique 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 power of Devil Dinosaur, amplified by Mystique and Victoria Hand. Careful placement of Moonstone is crucial, especially considering where Mystique will be played. Cosmo is essential for countering Enchantress. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot).

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

Moonstone is a worthwhile investment, offering significant long-term impact on gameplay. Her synergy with Mystique opens various strategic possibilities, extending beyond the decks mentioned here, including Zoo decks. The release of any new Ongoing card will likely lead to new Moonstone deck strategies.
