How Moonstone Works in Marvel Snap
Moonstone is a 4-cost, 6-power card with a potent Ongoing ability: “Ongoing: Has the Ongoing effects of your 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards here.” This makes her a powerful engine for decks built around low-cost Ongoing cards. She synergizes exceptionally well with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Pairing her with Mystique allows for even greater potential, doubling the impact of cards such as Iron Man and Onslaught. However, be aware of counters like Enchantress, which can neutralize her effects unless you have a Cosmo in play. Echo is another less common but effective counter.

Moonstone's ability lends itself to decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two prominent examples are Patriot and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur decks. Let's examine the Patriot deck:
Wasp, Ant-Man, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Invisible Woman, Mystique, Patriot, Brood, Iron Lad, Moonstone, Blue Marvel, Ultron. Click here to copy this list from Untapped.
This deck, excluding Moonstone, features only Series 4 or lower cards. The core strategy revolves around the powerful Patriot/Mystique/Ultron combo for massive late-game power. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide additional synergy with Moonstone, while Iron Lad offers card draw. Invisible Woman protects key cards from counters.
Another strong deck incorporates Moonstone into the popular Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur archetype:
Quicksilver, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Cosmo, Agent Coulson, Copycat, Moonstone, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur, Gorr the God Butcher, Alioth. Click here to copy this list from Untapped.
This deck includes Series 5 cards (Victoria Hand and Wiccan), which are difficult to replace. Copycat offers flexibility. The strategy centers on Devil Dinosaur and Mystique, amplified by Victoria Hand's buffs. Moonstone adds another layer of complexity, requiring careful placement to maximize her synergy with Mystique and Victoria Hand. Cosmo is crucial for countering opposing Enchantress or Rogue effects.

Yes, Moonstone is a worthwhile investment. Her versatility and synergy with existing cards and future releases make her a valuable asset for a long time. Her impact on the meta is undeniable, opening up new possibilities for both established and emerging deck archetypes. Expect to see many Moonstone-centric decks in the near future.
