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 ability makes Moonstone synergize exceptionally well with cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Moreover, when paired with Mystique, Moonstone can double the power of strong Ongoing abilities such as those from Iron Man and Onslaught.
However, she's vulnerable to Enchantress, who can nullify all Ongoing effects in a lane—unless you have Cosmo to protect her. Echo is another less common counter to watch out for, especially in combo-heavy Moonstone decks.
Best Day One Moonstone Decks
Moonstone fits seamlessly into decks featuring low-cost Ongoing cards. Two standout options are the Patriot and Victoria Hand decks featuring Devil Dinosaur. Let's start with the 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 except Moonstone. The strategy involves dropping Patriot with Mystique, then playing Ultron on the final turn to fill other lanes with 6-power Drones, totaling 24 power. With Moonstone added to the Patriot and Mystique combo, that power can double to 48. Without direct counters like Enchantress, this line is tough to beat.
Ant-Man and Dazzler enhance the deck's synergy with Moonstone when the main combo isn't achievable. Iron Lad helps find key cards, while Invisible Woman protects Patriot and Mystique from direct counters—except for Alioth.

Next, consider the Victoria Hand deck with 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 essential, and Copycat, which can be swapped for another 3-cost card such as Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot.
The core strategy revolves around playing Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copying its effect with Mystique, and using Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand amplifies this by boosting cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and Agent Coulson's summons.
Incorporating Moonstone requires strategic planning. If copying Devil Dinosaur with Mystique, play Moonstone into that lane preemptively. If copying Victoria Hand, ensure there's space for Moonstone to maximize the impact. With a copied Victoria Hand and Moonstone in the same lane, Sentinels can become 9-power cards, keeping your hand full for Devil Dinosaur to dominate another lane. Be cautious with Cosmo's placement to counter potential threats like Enchantress.

Absolutely, Moonstone is worth the investment. Her synergy with Mystique opens up numerous possibilities, and she can also fit well into Zoo decks. As new Ongoing cards are released, players will continue to explore how they interact with Moonstone, ensuring her relevance in the meta for months to come.
