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 card synergizes incredibly well with low-cost Ongoing cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. When paired with Mystique, Moonstone can double up on powerful Ongoing effects from cards like Iron Man and Onslaught. However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, who can negate all Ongoing effects in a lane, and to a lesser extent, Echo, especially in combo-heavy decks. Fortunately, Cosmo can protect Moonstone from these counters.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone fits seamlessly into decks centered around low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent decks for her are the Patriot and Victoria Hand with Devil Dinosaur lists.
Patriot Deck:
- Wasp
- Ant-Man
- Dazzler
- Mister Sinister
- Invisible Woman
- Mystique
- Patriot
- Brood
- Iron Lad
- Moonstone
- Blue Marvel
- Ultron

This deck contains no Series 5 cards other than Moonstone. The strategy involves playing Patriot into Mystique and then dropping Ultron on the final turn to fill lanes with 6-power Drones, boosted to 24 power by Patriot and Mystique. Adding Moonstone to this combo can potentially double the power to 48, making it extremely difficult to counter without Enchantress. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad helps find key cards. Invisible Woman can protect your combo from direct counters, though watch out for Alioth.
Victoria Hand with Devil Dinosaur Deck:
- Quicksilver
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Victoria Hand
- Mystique
- Cosmo
- Agent Coulson
- Copycat
- Moonstone
- Wiccan
- Devil Dinosaur
- Gorr the God Butcher
- Alioth

This deck includes Series 5 cards Victoria Hand and Wiccan, which are crucial, and Copycat, which can be swapped for other 3-cost cards like Red Guardian or Rocket Raccoon. The strategy revolves around playing Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copying its effect with Mystique, and using Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand enhances this strategy by boosting cards like Sentinels and Hawkeye's arrows. With Moonstone, careful planning is needed to predict where Mystique will end up, ensuring Moonstone is placed correctly to maximize her effect. Cosmo should be used strategically to counter threats like Enchantress and Rogue.

Absolutely, Moonstone is a valuable addition to Marvel Snap. Her ability to synergize with Mystique and various Ongoing cards offers significant strategic depth. She's likely to impact the meta long-term and could be a staple in multiple deck archetypes, including Zoo decks. As new Ongoing cards are released, Moonstone's relevance will only grow.
