How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap

Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the ongoing effect of mirroring the ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-cost cards in the same lane. This creates potent synergies with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, such as 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 archetypes are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.

Patriot Deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped Link Removed]

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot combo with Mystique and Ultron for massive power generation. Moonstone amplifies this strategy, doubling the effect when played strategically. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw and Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters (excluding 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]

This deck leverages the Devil Dinosaur combo with Mystique and Agent Coulson. Victoria Hand significantly boosts card power, making Moonstone a powerful addition. Careful placement of Cosmo is crucial to counter Enchantress. Copycat can be substituted with other suitable 3-cost cards like Red Guardian or Rocket and Groot. Strategic placement of Moonstone is key, depending on whether Mystique copies Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand.

Moonstone is a valuable addition, likely to remain meta-relevant for an extended period. Her synergy with Mystique opens diverse deck-building possibilities, including integration into Zoo decks. The release of any new Ongoing card will prompt players to explore its synergy with Moonstone.
