How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with an ability that reads: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.”
This ability makes Moonstone an excellent fit for decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. When paired with Mystique, Moonstone can amplify powerful Ongoing effects from cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, be cautious of Enchantress, which can negate all Ongoing effects in a lane unless you have Cosmo to counter her. Echo is another potential counter to watch out for, especially in combo-heavy decks.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone naturally enhances decks centered around low-cost Ongoing cards. Here are two standout decks to consider:
Patriot Deck
- Cards: Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron
- Strategy: This deck leverages the synergy between Patriot and Mystique. Drop Patriot into Mystique and then play Ultron on the final turn to flood other lanes with 6-power Drones, boosting them to 24 power total. With Moonstone in play alongside Patriot and Mystique, this can double to 48 power, making it nearly unbeatable without direct counters like Enchantress. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional combos with Moonstone, while Iron Lad helps search for key cards. Invisible Woman can protect your key cards from direct counters, except for Alioth.

Victoria Hand with Devil Dinosaur Deck
- Cards: Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth
- Strategy: This deck focuses on Devil Dinosaur and Wiccan, with Victoria Hand amplifying the effects of cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and Agent Coulson. Play Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copy its effect with Mystique, and use Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand boosts your Sentinels and other cards, making them even more potent. With Moonstone, you need to predict where Mystique will land. If copying Devil Dinosaur, place Moonstone preemptively in that lane. If copying Victoria Hand, ensure there's space for Moonstone to maximize her effect. Be strategic with Cosmo to protect against Enchantress and other counters.
