How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the 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, including those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, negating her effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common but effective counter.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

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

Patriot Deck:

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

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot combo (Patriot into Mystique, followed by Ultron) 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). The potential for 48 power with this combo is significant.

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]

This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur combo (turn 5 Devil Dinosaur, Mystique copy, Agent Coulson) enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone requires strategic placement, anticipating Mystique's target (Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand). Cosmo counters Enchantress and Rogue. Copycat is flexible and can be replaced with a suitable 3-cost card.

Moonstone is a worthwhile investment, likely to remain meta-relevant for an extended period. Her synergy with Mystique opens diverse possibilities, including integration into Zoo decks. The release of any new Ongoing card will necessitate reevaluation of its potential with Moonstone.
