Doctor 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) provides an ongoing buff: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom.

The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn. Early deployment of Doom 2099 maximizes DoomBot 2099 generation, potentially yielding 3 extra DoomBots for a significant power boost. Playing Doctor Doom on the final turn further amplifies this effect.

Effectively, Doom 2099 acts as a 17-power card (at minimum) when played optimally, with even greater potential through early game plays or Magik's game extension.

However, two weaknesses exist: the random placement of DoomBot 2099s can hinder your strategy, and Enchantress (recently buffed) completely negates their power.

The one-card-per-turn requirement makes Doom 2099 synergistic with Spectrum Ongoing decks. Consider this budget-friendly option:

Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck offers multiple win conditions. Aim for early Doom 2099 deployment using Psylocke or Electro. Psylocke enables powerful plays with Wong, Klaw, and Doctor Doom. Electro facilitates the deployment of high-cost cards like Onslaught alongside DoomBot 2099s and Spectrum. If Doom 2099's early deployment fails, you can pivot to a strategy focused on Doctor Doom or Spectrum's power boosts. Cosmo is crucial for mitigating Enchantress's effect.

Alternatively, a Patriot-style deck incorporating Doom 2099 proves effective:

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This budget-friendly deck (again, only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) utilizes Patriot's early game power and transitions into Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, and Doctor Doom. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards, offering flexibility if Patriot's effect is not fully realized. You can strategically forgo additional DoomBot 2099s to play two 3-cost cards on the final turn (e.g., Patriot and a discounted Iron Lad). However, this deck is vulnerable to Enchantress, hence the inclusion of Super Skrull to counter other Doom 2099 decks.

Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?

While the Spotlight Cache's accompanying cards (Daken and Miek) are underwhelming, Doctor Doom 2099 is a valuable acquisition due to his power and deck-building versatility. Prioritize using Collector's Tokens if available, but don't hesitate to acquire him this month. He's poised to become a meta staple unless significant nerfs are implemented.

These are some of the best Doctor Doom 2099 decks in Marvel Snap.
