Moonstone's Mechanics 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 Moonstone highly synergistic with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Combining her with Mystique allows for powerful duplication of Ongoing effects, including those of Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, which negates lane effects unless countered by Cosmo. Echo is another less common, but effective counter.

Top Moonstone Decks (Day One)

Moonstone excels in decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent archetypes currently leverage her strengths: Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur.

Patriot Deck:

Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. [Untapped link removed]

This deck utilizes the classic Patriot combo (Patriot + Mystique + Ultron) for massive power generation. Moonstone amplifies this strategy, doubling the effect when played correctly. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy, while Iron Lad offers card draw, and 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 link removed]

This deck, featuring the powerful Devil Dinosaur combo (Devil Dinosaur + Mystique + Agent Coulson), benefits from Moonstone's ability to enhance Victoria Hand's buffs. Careful placement of Moonstone is crucial, depending on whether Mystique copies Devil Dinosaur or Victoria Hand. Cosmo is essential for countering Enchantress and Rogue. Note that Victoria Hand, Wiccan, and Copycat are Series 5 cards.

Is Moonstone Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens?

Yes. Moonstone's synergy with Mystique and her potential in various archetypes (including Zoo decks) makes her a valuable addition. Her impact on the meta is likely to be significant and long-lasting.
