Marvel SNAP: The Best Moonstone Deck

Mastering Marvel Snap's Moonstone: Deck Strategies and Counters

Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, copies the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane. While powerful, her fragility earns her the "Glass Cannon" moniker. This guide explores optimal deck builds and counters.

Top Moonstone Decks:

1. Patriot-Ultron Strategy:

This deck uses Moonstone as a support card, leveraging key Ongoing effects.

• Core Cards: Moonstone, Patriot, Ultron, Brood, Mystique, Dazzler, Mockingbird, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Squirrel Girl, Blue Marvel, Mister Sinister.

• Synergy: Set up buffs with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl. Play Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone in one lane (ideally in that order). Use Ultron in the final round to maximize buffs. Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.

2. Onslaught-Living Tribunal Approach:

This high-risk, high-reward strategy uses Moonstone as a win condition.

• Core Cards: Moonstone, Onslaught, Living Tribunal, Mystique, Magik, Psylocke, Sera, Iron Man, Ravonna Renslayer, Captain America, Howard the Duck, Iron Lad.

• Synergy: Use Psylocke for early Moonstone placement. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in her lane. In the final round, distribute power across lanes with The Living Tribunal. Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction; Magik extends the game. Captain America and Iron Lad offer backup. This strategy is vulnerable to Super Skrull.

Countering Moonstone:

Moonstone's reliance on her own lane makes her susceptible to several cards:

• Super Skrull: A highly effective counter, neutralizing Moonstone's abilities.
• Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects, crippling Moonstone's power.
• Rogue: Steals Ongoing effects, rendering Moonstone ineffective.
• Echo: Copies the last card played, potentially disrupting Moonstone's synergy.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, for several reasons:

• Future Synergy: Her ability will become more valuable with future Ongoing card releases.
• Spotlight Cache: Reduces the risk of unsuccessful pulls.
• Nostalgia Factor: Offers exciting, high-impact gameplay.

Moonstone's effectiveness hinges on strategic deck building and awareness of her vulnerabilities. While risky, her potential for game-changing plays makes her a valuable addition to any Marvel Snap collection.
