How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with the Ongoing effect: "Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here." This makes her highly synergistic with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of effects, particularly those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, negating her effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo also presents a less common but significant threat to combo-heavy Moonstone decks.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone excels in decks built around low-cost Ongoing cards. Two standout examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand decks featuring Devil Dinosaur.
Patriot Deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped deck link omitted]
This deck leverages the Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo for massive power. Moonstone amplifies this further. Ant-Man and Dazzler offer alternative strategies, while Iron Lad provides card draw. 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 deck link omitted]
This deck utilizes the Devil Dinosaur/Mystique combo, enhanced by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone adds another layer of power, requiring careful placement to maximize synergy with Mystique's copied effects. Cosmo counters Enchantress and other disruptive cards. Copycat is flexible and can be replaced with a suitable 3-cost card.

Moonstone is a valuable addition to Marvel Snap, offering significant long-term impact. Her synergy with Mystique creates diverse deck-building possibilities, extending beyond the decks mentioned here, including potential applications in Zoo decks. The release of any new Ongoing card will likely involve exploring its synergy with Moonstone, making her a worthwhile investment.
