Moonstone Shines in Marvel SNAP

Mastering Moonstone in Marvel Snap: Deck Builds and Counters

Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, replicates the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in her lane. This makes her a powerful but fragile card, often dubbed "the Glass Cannon." This guide explores optimal deck strategies and counters for Moonstone.

Top Moonstone Decks

Two effective Moonstone decks leverage Patriot and Tribunal synergies:

1. Patriot-Ultron Deck: This deck utilizes Moonstone as a support card, not the primary win condition.

Card List:

Strategy: Prepare the board with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl. Play Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order) in one lane. Use Ultron in the final round to maximize buffs. Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird provide backup power.

2. Onslaught-Tribunal Deck: This high-risk, high-reward deck uses Moonstone as a primary win condition.

Card List:

Strategy: Use Psylocke for early Moonstone placement. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in her lane. In the final round, distribute power across lanes with The Living Tribunal. Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the match, and Captain America/Iron Lad offer backup. Beware of Super Skrull!

Countering Moonstone

Moonstone's vulnerability lies in her reliance on her own lane. Effective counters include:

• Super Skrull: Neutralizes Moonstone's effects.
• Enchantress: Prevents Ongoing effects in the lane.
• Rogue: Steals Moonstone's abilities.
• Echo: Copies the last played card, potentially disrupting your strategy.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, for several reasons:

• Future Synergies: Her value will increase with future Ongoing card releases.
• Spotlight Cache: Reduces the risk of unsuccessful pulls.
• Nostalgia Factor: Offers exciting combo potential.

Moonstone presents both strategic opportunities and challenges. Understanding her strengths and weaknesses, along with effective deck building and counter strategies, is key to maximizing her potential in Marvel Snap.
