Marvel SNAP: The Best Moonstone Deck

Mastering Moonstone in Marvel Snap: Deck Strategies and Counters

Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, offers exciting gameplay possibilities but requires strategic deck building. This guide explores optimal deck strategies and counters to maximize her potential.

Top Moonstone Decks

Two prominent strategies effectively utilize Moonstone: Patriot and Tribunal-centric builds.

1. Patriot-Ultron Deck:

This deck emphasizes Moonstone's supporting role, leveraging her to amplify existing synergies.

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 a single lane (ideally in that order).
• Ultron in the final round capitalizes on accumulated buffs.
• Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide power backup.

2. Onslaught-Tribunal Deck:

This high-risk, high-reward strategy positions Moonstone as a primary 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 Line:

1. Early Moonstone placement using Psylocke's discount.
2. Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in Moonstone's lane.
3. 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.

Countering Moonstone

Moonstone's vulnerability lies in her reliance on her own lane. Several cards effectively counter her:

• Super Skrull: A highly effective counter, neutralizing Moonstone's copied abilities.
• Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects in a lane, negating Moonstone's power.
• Rogue: Steals Moonstone's abilities, rendering her ineffective.
• Echo: Copies the last played card, potentially disrupting Moonstone strategies.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, Moonstone is a valuable addition for several reasons:

• Future Synergies: Her ability will gain value as more synergistic Ongoing cards are released.
• Spotlight Cache: Her inclusion in a Spotlight Cache minimizes the risk of unsuccessful pulls.
• Nostalgic Gameplay: She offers exciting combo potential for players who enjoy high-impact plays.

Moonstone's effectiveness depends heavily on deck construction and the opponent's strategy. Understanding both her strengths and weaknesses is crucial for maximizing her potential in Marvel Snap.
