Top Khonshu Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

Attention all discard players in *Marvel Snap*—the arrival of Khonshu, the God of the Moon, brings a powerful new asset to discard-centric decks. Known for its complexity, Khonshu is one of the most intricate cards released by Second Dinner. Let's dive deep into how Khonshu functions and the best strategies to maximize his potential.

How Khonshu Works in *Marvel Snap*

Khonshu is a 6-cost, 5-power card with a unique ability: "When discarded, returns in its next phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 5."

• Next Phase: Khonshu becomes a 6-cost, 8-power card with the ability: "When discarded, returns in its final phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 8."
• Final Phase: Khonshu transforms into a 6-cost, 12-power card with the ability: "On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 12."

Each time Khonshu is discarded, he returns to your hand, upgrading his stats and enhancing his On Reveal effect. This mechanic is reminiscent of Apocalypse, but with a twist. The strategy is to discard Khonshu one or two times before playing him on the final turn, ideally to resurrect a card that benefits from a power boost, such as Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher. While Khonshu can't revive a specific card, bringing back a 1-cost, 12-power Meek with his final phase on turn 6 can clinch victory.

Best Day One Khonshu Decks in *Marvel Snap*

Discovering the perfect deck for Khonshu will require experimentation, as he may not fit seamlessly into traditional discard decks. Instead, he could shine in a Darkhawk-style Stature list or alternative discard-type decks. Here's a suggested deck:

• Korg
• Blade
• Fenris Wolf
• Juggernaut
• Moon Knight
• Lady Sif
• Rock Slide
• Silver Samurai
• Darkhawk
• Black Bolt
• Stature
• Khonshu

This deck leverages Fenris Wolf, the only Series 5 card, to resurrect an opponent's discarded card, often securing a win. The strategy involves filling your opponent's deck with rocks to empower Darkhawk and discarding Khonshu as frequently as possible. Key cards like Moon Knight and Blade ensure Khonshu gets discarded multiple times. The timing of discards is crucial; you want Moon Knight to target Khonshu, not Rock Slide. Play Stature early, aim to play Darkhawk on turn 5, and save Khonshu for turn 6 to revive a card with 8-12 power.

For those interested in blending Khonshu with traditional discard elements, consider this deck:

• Miek
• Scorn
• Blade
• Morbius
• Swarm
• Moon Knight
• Corvus Glaive
• Lady Sif
• Dracula
• MODOK
• Khonshu
• Apocalypse

This list uses Corvus Glaive for energy ramp, allowing you to play Khonshu alongside other discard activators. The goal is to enhance Apocalypse and flood the board, although it remains to be seen if this setup can outperform traditional discard decks. Khonshu's final phase should be achievable with Moon Knight, Blade, and Lady Sif, while maintaining Apocalypse's strength for Dracula to absorb.

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

If you have the resources, investing in Khonshu could be a wise decision, given his potential to reshape discard strategies in Marvel Snap.
