Moonstone, Marvel Snap's newest Ongoing card, copies the Ongoing effects of 1-, 2-, and 3-cost cards in its lane. While potent, its fragility has earned it the "Glass Cannon" moniker. This guide details two optimal deck builds leveraging its strengths.

Moonstone (4–6)

Series: Five (Ultra Rare)

Season: Dark Avengers

The Best Deck for Moonstone

Moonstone excels as a supporting card, not the sole win condition. A Patriot-Ultron deck provides a robust framework. Focus on copying one or two key Ongoing effects for reliable results.

This Moonstone deck includes: Brood, Mystique, Dazzler, Mockingbird, Ant-Man, Iron Man, Squirrel Girl, Blue Marvel, and Mister Sinister, alongside Moonstone and Patriot and Ultron.

Moonstone Deck Synergies

• Prepare the board with Brood, Sinister, or Squirrel Girl for buffs.
• Utilize one lane for Patriot, Mystique, and Moonstone (ideally in that order).
• Deploy Ultron in the final round to maximize buffed locations.
• Iron Man, Blue Marvel, and Mockingbird serve as backup for power deficits.

An Alternative Deck for Moonstone

For a more exciting, albeit less consistent, approach, pair Moonstone with Onslaught and The Living Tribunal. Here, Moonstone becomes the primary win condition.

This deck includes: Onslaught, The Living Tribunal, Mystique, Magik, Psylocke, Sera, Iron Man, Ravonna Renslayer, Captain America, Howard the Duck, and Iron Lad, in addition to Moonstone.

Ideal Play:

1. Use Psylocke for early Moonstone placement.
2. Play Onslaught, Mystique, and Iron Man in Moonstone's lane.
3. Distribute power across lanes with The Living Tribunal in the final round.

Psylocke and Sera provide cost reduction, Magik extends the game, and Captain America/Iron Lad offer backup. However, Super Skrull proves a significant counter to this strategy.

How to Counter Moonstone

Super Skrull effectively counters Moonstone. Enchantress, Rogue, and Echo also neutralize its abilities. Moonstone's vulnerability stems from its reliance on its own lane; cards like Invisible Woman can mitigate this, but opponents can easily disrupt the strategy.

Is Moonstone Worth It?

Yes, Moonstone is a worthwhile Spotlight Key acquisition. Its ability will become more valuable with future Ongoing card releases. Its inclusion in a Series Five Spotlight Cache reduces the risk of unsuccessful pulls, and its nostalgic combo potential makes it a compelling addition for many players.
