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.”
She synergizes exceptionally well with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Pairing her with Mystique can amplify powerful Ongoing effects such as those from Iron Man and Onslaught. However, be wary of Enchantress, who can nullify all card effects in a lane unless you have Cosmo to protect your strategy. Echo is another potential counter to watch out for, especially in decks that rely heavily on combos.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone fits seamlessly into decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two standout decks are the Patriot and Victoria Hand lists. Let's dive into the Patriot deck first:
- Wasp
- Ant-Man
- Dazzler
- Mister Sinister
- Invisible Woman
- Mystique
- Patriot
- Brood
- Iron Lad
- Moonstone
- Blue Marvel
- Ultron

This deck contains no Series 5 cards except Moonstone. The strategy involves playing Patriot into Mystique and then unleashing Ultron on the final turn to fill other lanes with 6-power Drones, potentially reaching 24 power per lane. With Moonstone adding her effect, this can double to 48 power, making it nearly unbeatable without specific counters like Enchantress. Ant-Man and Dazzler provide alternative synergies with Moonstone, while Iron Lad helps fetch key cards. Invisible Woman adds a layer of protection, though be cautious of Alioth.

Next, consider the popular Victoria Hand deck featuring Devil Dinosaur and Wiccan:
- 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 like Victoria Hand and Wiccan, which are crucial, and Copycat, which can be swapped for another 3-cost card like Red Guardian or Rocket Raccoon. The goal is to play Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copy the effect with Mystique, and use Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand amplifies the power of cards like Sentinels and Hawkeye's arrows. With Moonstone, careful planning is essential to predict Mystique's placement. Playing Moonstone in the same lane as a copied Victoria Hand can turn Sentinels into 9-power cards, greatly enhancing your strategy. Be strategic with Cosmo to counter threats like Enchantress and Rogue.
