Marvel SNAP: The Best Moonstone Deck

Mastering Moonstone in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Counters

Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, offers exciting gameplay possibilities but requires strategic deck building. This guide explores optimal Moonstone decks and effective counter strategies.

Top Moonstone Decks

Two prominent strategies leverage Moonstone's ability to copy Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane:

1. Patriot-Ultron Deck: This focuses on Moonstone as a supporting card, enhancing existing synergies.

Card List: Moonstone (4/6), Patriot (3/1), Ultron (6/8), Brood (3/2), Ant-Man (1/1), Mystique (3/0), Iron Man (5/0), Mister Sinister (2/2), Dazzler (2/2), Squirrel Girl (1/2), Mockingbird (6/9), Blue Marvel (5/3)

Synergies: Utilize Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl for early board presence. Play Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order) in one lane. Finish with Ultron in the final round to maximize power. Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.

2. Onslaught-Living Tribunal Deck: This high-risk, high-reward strategy uses Moonstone as a primary win condition.

Card List: Moonstone (4/6), Onslaught (6/7), The Living Tribunal (6/9), Mystique (3/0), Ravonna Renslayer (2/2), Iron Man (5/0), Captain America (3/3), Howard the Duck (1/2), Magik (3/2), Psylocke (2/2), Sera (5/4), Iron Lad (4/6)

Play Line: Use Psylocke for early Moonstone placement. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in her lane. In the final round, distribute power across lanes using The Living Tribunal. Sera and Magik provide crucial tempo and match extension. Captain America and Iron Lad offer backup.

Countering Moonstone

Moonstone's vulnerability lies in her reliance on her own lane. Several cards effectively counter her:

• Super Skrull: A highly effective counter, negating Moonstone's copied effects.
• Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects in the lane, rendering Moonstone ineffective.
• Rogue: Steals Moonstone's abilities, crippling her impact.
• Echo: Copies the last played card, potentially disrupting Moonstone's lane.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, Moonstone is a valuable addition for several reasons: her ability will grow stronger with future Ongoing cards; she's part of a Spotlight Cache with reduced Series Five risk; and she provides nostalgic, high-impact gameplay. If you enjoy powerful combos, Moonstone is a worthwhile investment.
