Marvel SNAP: The Best Moonstone Deck

Mastering Moonstone in Marvel Snap: Deck Builds and Counters

Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, replicates the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane. While powerful, her fragility earns her the "Glass Cannon" moniker. This guide explores optimal Moonstone deck strategies and effective counter-plays.

Top Moonstone Decks

Two dominant Moonstone decks leverage Patriot and Tribunal synergies:

1. Patriot-Ultron Deck:

This deck utilizes Moonstone as a supporting card, not the primary win condition. The focus is on maximizing a few key Ongoing effects.

Card List: 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 combo in one lane (ideally in that order).
• Final round Ultron deployment for maximum buff benefit.
• Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.

2. Onslaught-Tribunal Deck:

This high-risk, high-reward deck positions Moonstone as the win condition.

Card List: 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:

1. Early Moonstone deployment using Psylocke's discount.
2. Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in Moonstone's lane.
3. Final round power distribution across lanes via The Living Tribunal.

Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the game, and Captain America/Iron Lad offer backup.

Countering Moonstone

Moonstone's biggest weakness is her susceptibility to lane-specific counters. Super Skrull is a particularly effective counter, as are Enchantress, Rogue, and Echo. These cards negate her copied Ongoing effects. Invisible Woman can offer some protection, but careful lane management is crucial.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, for several reasons:

• Her value will increase with future Ongoing card releases.
• She's in a Spotlight Cache with other Series Five cards, minimizing wasted pulls.
• She offers exciting, high-impact gameplay.

If you enjoy high-risk, high-reward combos, Moonstone is a worthwhile addition to your collection.
