How Doom 2099 Functions in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card. His ability: "After each turn, add a DoomBot 2099 to a random location if you played (exactly) 1 card." DoomBot 2099 (also 4-cost, 2-power) has the ability: “Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power.” Crucially, this buff applies to both Doom 2099 and regular Doctor Doom.

Playing one card per turn maximizes Doom 2099's potential. Early placement yields 3 DoomBots, adding significant board presence. Optimal play can turn him into a 17-power card, even more with Magik's game extension.

Two drawbacks exist: random DoomBot placement can hurt your strategy, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.

Top Day-One Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099's "one card per turn" requirement revives Spectrum Ongoing decks. Here's an example:

Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught [Untapped List Link]

This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Early Doom 2099 with Psylocke or turn 3 Electro allows for powerful plays. Wong, Klaw, and Doctor Doom combinations spread power effectively. Electro allows for strong plays with Onslaught and high-cost cards. Cosmo protects against Enchantress. If Doom 2099 isn't played early, the deck can still win with Doctor Doom or Spectrum buffs.

Another viable strategy utilizes a Patriot-style deck:

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum [Untapped List Link]

This inexpensive deck (again, only Doom 2099 is Series 5) uses early-game cards like Mister Sinister and Brood before deploying Doom 2099, followed by Blue Marvel and Doctor Doom or Spectrum. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early plays. Strategic skipping of DoomBot spawns allows for two 3-cost cards on the final turn (e.g., Patriot and a discounted Iron Lad). However, this deck is highly vulnerable to Enchantress; Super Skrull provides counterplay against other Doom 2099 decks.

Is Doom 2099 Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are weak, Doom 2099 is a worthwhile investment. His power and deck-building versatility make him a likely meta staple. Use Collector's Tokens if available; don't miss out on this potentially history-making card (unless nerfed).
