Top Eson Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

If you're diving into the latest Marvel Snap update, you'll want to get familiar with Eson — a new Celestial joining the ranks of powerful cards. While he may not be as game-breaking as Arishem, he still brings unique potential to the right decks. Here’s a breakdown of how Eson works and the best decks to use him in from Day One.

How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with the ability: “End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here.”

A created card refers to any card that wasn’t in your initial deck — think cards generated by White Queen or Arishem. This means Eson can only pull from those types of cards, giving you a way to deploy high-value units without using your own resources.

Because Eson costs 6 energy, you'll want to include ramp tools like Electro, Wave, or Luna Snow to play him earlier — ideally by Turn 5 — and maximize his ability.

The only real counter to Eson is filling your opponent’s hand with unwanted cards, such as Rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, which limits his effectiveness.

Since Eson synergizes heavily with Arishem, it’s best to build around both. This list allows you to play Eson on Turn 5 and benefit from two free pulls using Arishem-generated cards.

Deck List:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2099
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galacta, Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta, Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. Of these, Doom 2099 and Arishem are the most essential. You can substitute others with cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, or Blob.

Eson serves as an alternate win condition if you fail to pull Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. By saving Arishem’s created cards until after Eson is played on Turn 5, you can pull two of them over the final turns.

Keep in mind that Eson doesn’t work well with Doom 2099, so decide your game plan before committing to either.

Another viable option for Eson is a hand-generation deck, similar to older Devil Dinosaur builds — minus the Dino, of course.

Deck List:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Iron Patriot
• Peni Parker
• Valentina
• Victoria Hand
• Agent Coulson
• White Queen
• Luna Snow
• Wiccan
• Mockingbird
• Eson

The Series 5 cards here are Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Prioritize Wiccan, as the rest can be swapped for Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave.

In this deck, aim to activate Wiccan on Turn 4 to discount your hand-generated cards. Use Quinjet to reduce their cost so you can play the cheaper ones early, saving the expensive ones for Eson to pull later. Mockingbird adds another power boost, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson out on Turn 5.

This build is highly dynamic and can shift based on the cards you generate, making it both unpredictable and exciting to play.

Should You Spend Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens on Eson?

If you're low on resources and don’t frequently play Arishem decks, it might be better to hold off on Eson. There are several strong upcoming cards like Starbrand and Khonshu that could offer better value.

However, if you're already invested in Arishem strategies — and who can blame you? — Eson is a natural addition that enhances your late-game potential.

And there you have it — the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap to start experimenting with right away.
