Marvel Snap: Top Eson Decks Revealed

Prepare for a celestial showdown! Eson, another Arishem-level cosmic entity, is joining the Marvel Snap roster. While not quite as game-changing as his mentor, Eson still packs a punch. Let's dive into the best Eson decks currently available.

How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." This means he summons a card generated by effects like White Queen or Arishem—cards not initially in your deck. Strategically, this allows for some control, as he won't pull cards that weren't generated.

However, Eson's high cost requires ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him effectively early for maximum impact. The primary counter isn't Gorgon (which won't work), but rather flooding your opponent's hand with unwanted cards like rocks or Master Mold's Sentinels.

Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Eson synergizes exceptionally well with Arishem. Consider them a package deal; Arishem allows for a turn 5 Eson play, generating two free cards. Here's a top-performing deck:

Iron Patriot, Valentina, Luke Cage, Doom 2099, Shang-Chi, Enchantress, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Legion, Doctor Doom, Mockingbird, Eson, Arishem. [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

Series 5 cards (Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, Arishem) are key, but only Doom 2099 and Arishem are strictly necessary. Cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob are viable substitutes.

This deck uses Eson as an alternative win condition if Mockingbird or high-power generated cards aren't drawn. Arishem's generated cards can be saved for after Eson's turn 5 play, providing two turns of potential value. If no cards are generated, Doctor Doom becomes the primary finisher. Avoid playing Eson beyond turn 3, and remember his anti-synergy with Doom 2099; choose your game plan accordingly.

Another deck incorporating Eson focuses on hand generation:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Agent Coulson, White Queen, Luna Snow, Wiccan, Mockingbird, Eson. [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

Series 5 cards (Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, Mockingbird) are present, with Wiccan being essential. Other cards can be replaced by Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave. The strategy revolves around a turn 4 Wiccan play, using Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards and playing cheaper ones before Eson draws expensive ones later. Mockingbird offers additional power, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson. This deck's playstyle is highly dynamic and inconsistent due to card generation, but offers a unique and exciting experience.

Should You Spend Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens on Eson?

Unless you're a dedicated Arishem player, spending resources on Eson might not be ideal, especially with upcoming cards like Starbrand and Khonshu. If you heavily utilize Arishem, however, Eson is a worthwhile investment.

These are the top Eson decks in Marvel Snap. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
