Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: After each turn, if you played exactly one card, a DoomBot 2099 is added to a random location.
DoomBot 2099 (also a 4-cost, 2-power card) provides an ongoing buff: Your other DoomBots and Doom gain +1 Power. Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom.
The strategy revolves around playing one card per turn. Early placement of Doom 2099 maximizes DoomBot 2099 deployment, potentially yielding significant power. Combining this with cards like Magik can further amplify its potential.
Optimally utilized, Doom 2099 functions as a 17-power card, with even greater potential through strategic early play or game extension.
However, two drawbacks exist. First, the random placement of DoomBot 2099s can hinder your strategy or benefit your opponent. Second, Enchantress (recently buffed) completely negates DoomBot 2099's power boost.
Top-Tier Doom 2099 Decks
Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement synergizes well with Spectrum Ongoing decks. Here's a sample deck:
Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught. [Untapped Deck Link]
This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Aim for early Doom 2099 placement using Psylocke or Electro. Psylocke enables powerful Wong/Klaw/Doctor Doom combos, while Electro facilitates high-cost card deployment (Onslaught, Spectrum) alongside DoomBot 2099s. Cosmo counters Enchantress, protecting key cards.
Alternatively, Patriot-style decks incorporating Doom 2099 are also effective:
Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum. [Untapped Deck Link]
This affordable deck (again, only Doom 2099 is Series 5) utilizes the standard Patriot strategy, deploying early-game cards like Mister Sinister and Brood before transitioning to Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, and Doctor Doom or Spectrum. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early game flexibility. This deck allows strategic skipping of DoomBot 2099 spawns to accommodate powerful late-game plays (e.g., Patriot and Iron Lad). However, it's highly vulnerable to Enchantress; Super Skrull provides a counter to other Doom 2099 decks.
Is Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?
While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099 in Spotlight Caches) are relatively weak, Doom 2099 is a worthwhile acquisition. His power and deck-building affordability guarantee his meta relevance. Use Collector's Tokens if available, but don't hesitate to obtain Doom 2099 this month; he's poised to become a legendary card in Marvel Snap, barring nerfs.
These are some of the best Doom 2099 decks in Marvel Snap.
