How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with a potent Ongoing ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This makes her incredibly versatile and synergistic with a wide range of cards. She shines when paired with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot, significantly boosting their effects. The combination with Mystique is particularly devastating, doubling the power of cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, be wary of counters like Enchantress, which can neutralize her effects unless you have a Cosmo in play to protect her. Echo is another less common but effective counter to consider.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone's strength lies in her ability to amplify low-cost Ongoing cards. Two leading deck archetypes currently leverage her power: Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.

Here's a strong Patriot-centric Moonstone deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck, excluding Moonstone, features only Series 4 or lower cards, making it accessible to a wider range of players. The core strategy revolves around combining Patriot and Mystique, followed by Ultron for a massive power surge. Moonstone amplifies this combo exponentially. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad helps find key cards. Invisible Woman protects your core combo from direct counters (except Alioth).

Next, we have a Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur deck incorporating Moonstone:

Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand and Wiccan), which are difficult to replace. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card like Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot. The strategy centers around Devil Dinosaur and Mystique, amplified by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone adds another layer of strategic depth, requiring careful placement to maximize her impact based on where you play Mystique. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress and other disruptive cards.

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

Absolutely. Moonstone's versatility and synergy with a wide range of cards make her a valuable addition to any collection. Her ability to work in both established and emerging archetypes, including Zoo decks, guarantees her long-term relevance in the Marvel Snap meta.
