How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This makes her highly synergistic with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, particularly those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but significant counter for combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur decks.

Patriot Deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped List Link Here]

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo, amplified by Moonstone. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (excluding Alioth).

Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur Deck:

Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth. [Untapped List Link Here]

This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur/Mystique combo, enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone requires careful placement to maximize synergy with Mystique's copied effect, whether it's Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress. Copycat is flexible and can be replaced with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot).

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

Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and her potential integration into Zoo decks make her a valuable addition with lasting meta impact. Her Ongoing ability will likely influence deck building for months to come.
