How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with a potent Ongoing ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This means she inherits the Ongoing effects of all your lower-cost cards played in the same location. This creates powerful synergies.

Moonstone excels with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Her potential explodes when combined with Mystique, doubling the impact of powerful Ongoing abilities like those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates all Ongoing effects in a lane—unless you strategically counter with Cosmo.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone seamlessly integrates into decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two standouts are Patriot decks and Victoria Hand decks featuring Devil Dinosaur. Let's examine a Patriot-focused deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck, excluding Moonstone, features only Series 4 or lower cards. The core strategy revolves around Patriot, Mystique, and Ultron for massive power generation. Moonstone amplifies this strategy, doubling the effect when played in the same location. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional support, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters.

Another strong deck utilizes the popular Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur combo:

Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand and Wiccan), which are essential to its core functionality. Copycat is a flexible slot, allowing for substitution with other 3-cost cards like Red Guardian or Rocket and Groot. The strategy focuses on Devil Dinosaur's power, amplified by Victoria Hand and Mystique. Moonstone adds further strategic depth, requiring careful placement to maximize her synergy with Mystique and Victoria Hand.

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

Absolutely. Moonstone's versatility and synergy with existing cards make her a valuable addition. Her potential to synergize with Mystique unlocks numerous strategic possibilities, extending beyond the decks shown here. She’s likely to remain meta-relevant for a considerable period. Consider her a worthwhile investment.
