How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with an ability that states: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.”

Moonstone synergizes exceptionally well with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Moreover, if you can duplicate a powerful Ongoing ability using Mystique, Moonstone can amplify the effects of cards like Iron Man and Onslaught.

However, she is highly vulnerable to Enchantress, who can nullify all Ongoing effects in a lane unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common but significant counter to watch out for in combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone fits seamlessly into decks centered around low-cost Ongoing cards. Currently, two decks stand out: Patriot and Victoria Hand with Devil Dinosaur. Let's explore the Patriot deck first:

• Patriot Deck:

  • Wasp
  • Ant-Man
  • Dazzler
  • Mister Sinister
  • Invisible Woman
  • Mystique
  • Patriot
  • Brood
  • Iron Lad
  • Moonstone
  • Blue Marvel
  • Ultron

This deck contains no Series 5 cards aside from Moonstone. The strategy involves playing Patriot with Mystique and then dropping Ultron on the final turn to flood other lanes with 6-power Drones, totaling 24 power. With Moonstone enhancing Patriot and Mystique, this can surge to 48 power, making it nearly unbeatable without direct counters like Enchantress.

Ant-Man and Dazzler synergize well with Moonstone if you can't execute the main combo, while Iron Lad helps find key cards. Invisible Woman can protect Patriot and Mystique from direct counters, though be wary of Alioth.

Next, consider the Victoria Hand deck with Devil Dinosaur and Wiccan:

• Victoria Hand Deck:

  • Quicksilver
  • Hawkeye
  • Kate Bishop
  • Victoria Hand
  • Mystique
  • Cosmo
  • Agent Coulson
  • Copycat
  • Moonstone
  • Wiccan
  • Devil Dinosaur
  • Gorr the God Butcher
  • Alioth

This deck features Series 5 cards like Victoria Hand and Wiccan, with Copycat being replaceable by other 3-cost cards such as Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot.

The strategy revolves around playing Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copying its effect with Mystique, and using Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand amplifies this strategy by boosting cards like Sentinels and Agent Coulson's additions.

Incorporating Moonstone requires strategic planning. Play Moonstone in the lane where Mystique will copy Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand to maximize her effect. For instance, with a copied Victoria Hand and Moonstone, your Sentinels can reach 9 power, enhancing your hand size for Devil Dinosaur to dominate another lane. Position Cosmo wisely to counter potential threats like Enchantress and Rogue.

With her ability to enhance Ongoing effects, Moonstone is poised to influence the meta significantly. Expect to see several meta-relevant decks emerge following her release.

And those are the best Moonstone decks in Marvel Snap.
