Mastering Marvel Snap's Moonstone: Deck Strategies and Counters
Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, replicates the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane, making her a powerful but fragile addition to your deck – a true "Glass Cannon." This guide explores optimal deck builds and effective counter strategies.
Top Moonstone Decks
Two prominent strategies leverage Moonstone's abilities: Patriot and Tribunal-centric builds.
1. Patriot-Ultron Deck:
This deck emphasizes Moonstone's supporting role, focusing on a few key Ongoing effects rather than relying solely on her power.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| Moonstone | 4 | 6 |
| Patriot | 3 | 1 |
| Ultron | 6 | 8 |
| Brood | 3 | 2 |
| Ant-Man | 1 | 1 |
| Mystique | 3 | 0 |
| Iron Man | 5 | 0 |
| Mister Sinister | 2 | 2 |
| Dazzler | 2 | 2 |
| Squirrel Girl | 1 | 2 |
| Mockingbird | 6 | 9 |
| Blue Marvel | 5 | 3 |
Synergies:
- Early game board setup with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl.
- Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone in one lane (ideally in that order).
- Ultron in the final round to maximize buffs.
- Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.
2. Onslaught-Tribunal Deck:
This high-risk, high-reward strategy uses Moonstone as the primary win condition.
Card List:
| Card | Cost | Power |
|---|---|---|
| Moonstone | 4 | 6 |
| Onslaught | 6 | 7 |
| The Living Tribunal | 6 | 9 |
| Mystique | 3 | 0 |
| Ravonna Renslayer | 2 | 2 |
| Iron Man | 5 | 0 |
| Captain America | 3 | 3 |
| Howard the Duck | 1 | 2 |
| Magik | 3 | 2 |
| Psylocke | 2 | 2 |
| Sera | 5 | 4 |
| Iron Lad | 4 | 6 |
Play Strategy:
- Early Moonstone placement using Psylocke.
- Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in Moonstone's lane.
- Final round power distribution across lanes using The Living Tribunal.
Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the game, and Captain America/Iron Lad offer backup. However, be wary of Super Skrull.
Countering Moonstone
Moonstone's vulnerability lies in her reliance on her own lane. Several cards effectively counter her:
- Super Skrull: A highly effective counter, negating Moonstone's copied abilities.
- Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects in a lane, rendering Moonstone useless.
- Rogue: Steals Moonstone's abilities, leaving her powerless.
- Echo: Copies the last card played, potentially disrupting your strategy.
Is Moonstone Worth It?
Yes, for several reasons:
- Future Synergy: Her ability will become more valuable as more synergistic Ongoing cards are released.
- Spotlight Cache: Reduces the risk of unsuccessful pulls.
- Nostalgic Gameplay: Offers exciting, high-impact plays.
Moonstone offers a unique and powerful gameplay experience, but requires strategic deck building and awareness of her weaknesses. With careful planning, she can be a game-changer.
