Marvel Snap's Radiant Moonstone Decks

Marvel Snap

Moonstone, a relatively obscure Marvel Comics character, joins the Marvel Snap roster during the Dark Avengers season. This guide explores optimal Moonstone decks and assesses her value.

Moonstone's Mechanics 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 Ongoing effects from cards such as Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but potent counter.

Top Moonstone Decks (Day One)

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two strong contenders 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 deck link omitted]

This deck leverages the Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo for massive power. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (except 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 deck link omitted]

This deck uses the Devil Dinosaur/Mystique combo, enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone requires careful placement, depending on whether Mystique copies Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand. Cosmo counters Enchantress. Copycat is flexible and can be replaced with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon).

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

Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique creates numerous possibilities, and her impact extends beyond the initial meta. Her Ongoing ability will likely influence deckbuilding for months to come. Expect several meta-relevant decks to emerge featuring Moonstone.
