How Doom 2099 Works in Marvel Snap
Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique 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 DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom cards.
The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn. Early placement of Doom 2099 maximizes DoomBot 2099 deployment, potentially generating significant power. Combining with cards like Magik can further amplify this effect.
While potentially a 17-power card (or more with strategic play), Doom 2099 has drawbacks. Random DoomBot 2099 placement can hinder strategy, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.
Best Day-One Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap
Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement makes Spectrum-style Ongoing decks highly effective. Consider these options:
Deck 1: Spectrum-Focused Strategy
- Ant-Man
- Goose
- Psylocke
- Captain America
- Cosmo
- Electro
- Doom 2099
- Wong
- Klaw
- Doctor Doom
- Spectrum
- Onslaught
This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Early Doom 2099 placement with Psylocke or Electro sets up powerful board states. If early Doom 2099 placement fails, the deck adapts to a Doctor Doom-centric strategy, leveraging Spectrum's buffs. Cosmo counters Enchantress.
Deck 2: Patriot-Style Synergy
- Ant-Man
- Zabu
- Dazzler
- Mister Sinister
- Patriot
- Brood
- Doom 2099
- Super Skrull
- Iron Lad
- Blue Marvel
- Doctor Doom
- Spectrum
Another affordable deck (only Doom 2099 is Series 5), this utilizes Patriot's power scaling. Early game focuses on Mister Sinister and Brood, transitioning to Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, and Doctor Doom. Zabu mitigates the cost of 4-cost cards. Flexibility allows for skipping DoomBot 2099 generation to optimize late-game plays. However, this deck is vulnerable to Enchantress, and 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 relatively weak, Doom 2099's power and deck-building versatility make him a worthwhile acquisition. Use Collector's Tokens if possible, but securing Doom 2099 is highly recommended. His impact on the meta is likely to be significant, unless subject to nerfs.
