Mastering Moonstone in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Counters
Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, copies the Ongoing effects of your 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane, making her a powerful but fragile addition to your deck – a true "Glass Cannon." This guide explores optimal deck builds and counters for this exciting card.
Optimal Moonstone Decks
Two primary strategies maximize Moonstone's potential: Patriot and Tribunal builds.
1. The Patriot-Ultron Moonstone Deck:
This deck utilizes Moonstone as a support card, not the primary win condition. The focus is on strategic buffing.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
- Early game: Deploy Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl to prepare for buffs.
- Mid-game: Play Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order) in one lane.
- End-game: Utilize Ultron to fill locations and maximize buffs.
- Backup: Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide power if needed.
2. The Onslaught-Tribunal Moonstone Deck:
This high-risk, high-reward deck uses Moonstone as a primary win condition.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| 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:
- Early game: Use Psylocke to play Moonstone early.
- Mid-game: Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in Moonstone's lane.
- End-game: Distribute power across lanes with The Living Tribunal.
Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the game, and Captain America/Iron Lad serve as backups.
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 strategic advantage.
- Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects, rendering Moonstone significantly weaker.
- Rogue: Steals Moonstone's abilities, crippling her effectiveness.
- Echo: Copies the last played card, potentially disrupting Moonstone's lane.
Is Moonstone Worth It?
Yes, for several reasons:
- Future synergy: Her ability will become more valuable with future Ongoing card releases.
- Spotlight Cache: Reduces the risk of unsuccessful pulls.
- Nostalgia factor: Offers exciting combo potential.
Moonstone presents a unique challenge and reward in Marvel Snap. Mastering her requires strategic deck building and awareness of her counters, but the potential for powerful plays makes her a worthwhile addition to any collection.
