Top Khonshu Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

Attention all *Marvel Snap* discard players! The arrival of Khonshu, the God of the Moon, brings a new dimension to your gameplay with a card that's as complex as it is powerful. Let's delve into the intricacies of how Khonshu functions and explore the best strategies to leverage his abilities.

How Khonshu Works in Marvel Snap

Khonshu is a fascinating 6-cost, 5-power card with a multi-phase ability. When discarded, he returns to your hand in his next phase, upgrading to a 6-cost, 8-power card. If discarded again, he comes back in his final phase as a 6-cost, 12-power card. Each phase's On Reveal ability allows Khonshu to resurrect a card you discarded to another location, setting its power to 5, 8, or 12 respectively, depending on his current phase.

Khonshu's mechanics echo those of Apocalypse, where the goal is to discard him multiple times, ideally playing him on the final turn to resurrect a high-value card like Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher, now with a significant power boost. Although Khonshu can't target a specific card for revival, deploying him in his final phase to bring back a low-cost card like Meek at 12 power can be a game-changer.

Best Day One Khonshu Decks in Marvel Snap

Crafting the perfect deck for Khonshu will require some experimentation, as he might not fit seamlessly into traditional discard decks. A promising approach is integrating him into a Darkhawk-style Stature list, alongside other discard-type synergies:

This deck revolves around filling your opponent's deck with rocks to empower Darkhawk while maximizing Khonshu's discards. Key interactions include Moon Knight always hitting Khonshu, and Blade hitting him again upon his return. Timing is crucial to ensure Moon Knight targets Khonshu over Rock Slide. Your goal is to play Stature early, Darkhawk on turn 5, and Khonshu on turn 6 to revive a card at 8-12 power, significantly boosting your strategy.

For those interested in blending Khonshu with traditional discard decks featuring Apocalypse, consider this list with energy ramp through Corvus Glaive:

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

This setup hinges on playing Corvus Glaive on turn 3 to enable the simultaneous deployment of Khonshu and other discard activators. This strategy aims to buff Apocalypse and flood the board, though it remains to be seen if it will outperform traditional discard lists without Khonshu.
