How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing ability to inherit the ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-cost cards in the same lane. This creates powerful synergies with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining Moonstone with Mystique allows for doubling powerful ongoing effects, such as those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, Moonstone is vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but significant counter for combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Best Day One Moonstone Decks

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur decks.

Patriot Deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped link removed for brevity]

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot synergy with Mystique and Ultron for massive power generation. Moonstone amplifies this strategy. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (except Alioth).

Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur Deck:

Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth. [Untapped link removed for brevity]

This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur combo with Mystique and Agent Coulson. Victoria Hand enhances the power of cards like Hawkeye and Kate Bishop's arrows, and Agent Coulson's cards. Moonstone adds another layer of strategic depth, requiring careful placement to maximize the impact of Mystique's copy effect. Cosmo is crucial for countering Enchantress. Copycat can be substituted with a suitable 3-cost card (e.g., Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, Groot).

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

Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and its potential in various deck archetypes (including Zoo decks) makes it a valuable addition. Its impact on the meta is expected to be significant.
