How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

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

This makes her incredibly versatile. She synergizes brilliantly with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, including those of cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, be aware of counters like Enchantress, which can neutralize her effects unless you have a Cosmo in play to negate Enchantress's effect. Echo is another less common counter to consider in combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone naturally slots into decks built around low-cost Ongoing cards. Two strong contenders are Patriot and Victoria Hand decks (featuring Devil Dinosaur).

Here's a strong Patriot deck incorporating Moonstone:

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, uses only Series 4 or lower cards. The strategy revolves around the Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo, amplified by Moonstone inheriting their effects. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards like Patriot and Mystique from removal.

Next, let's look at a Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur deck with Moonstone:

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 difficult to replace. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot). The core strategy focuses on Devil Dinosaur, amplified by Mystique and Victoria Hand. Moonstone adds further power by inheriting these effects. Careful placement of Cosmo is crucial to counter cards like Enchantress.

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

Absolutely. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and other Ongoing cards makes her a highly impactful addition to the meta. Her versatility extends beyond the decks shown here, potentially fitting into Zoo decks as well. Expect her to remain a meta-relevant card for a considerable time.
