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 an excellent match for cards like Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. Additionally, pairing her with Mystique allows you to duplicate powerful Ongoing effects, such as those from Iron Man and Onslaught.
However, be cautious of Enchantress, as she can nullify all Ongoing effects in a lane unless you have Cosmo to protect your strategy. Echo is another less common counter to watch out for, especially in combo-heavy Moonstone decks.

Moonstone naturally complements decks with low-cost Ongoing cards. Here are two standout decks:

- Blue Marvel
- Ultron

This deck contains no Series 5 cards other than Moonstone. The strategy involves playing Patriot with Mystique, then finishing with Ultron to fill other lanes with 6-power Drones, boosting them to 24 power. Adding Moonstone to this combo can double the power to 48, making it nearly unstoppable without direct counters like Enchantress.
Ant-Man and Dazzler synergize well with Moonstone as fallback options, while Iron Lad helps find key cards. Invisible Woman protects your crucial cards from direct counters, except for Alioth.
Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur Deck
- 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 Victoria Hand and Wiccan, which are vital, and Copycat, which you can replace with a suitable 3-cost card like Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon, or Groot.
The strategy focuses on playing Devil Dinosaur on turn 5, copying its effect with Mystique, and using Agent Coulson to fill your hand. Victoria Hand amplifies the power of Hawkeye's arrows, Sentinels, and Coulson's cards, making the deck even stronger.
Incorporating Moonstone requires strategic planning: anticipate where Mystique will land. If copying Devil Dinosaur, place Moonstone in that lane preemptively or simultaneously if you have Wiccan. If copying Victoria Hand, ensure there's space for Moonstone. With a copied Victoria Hand and Moonstone, your Sentinels become 9-power cards, bolstering your hand for Devil Dinosaur to dominate another lane. Be mindful of Cosmo's placement to counter potential threats like Enchantress.

Absolutely, Moonstone is a valuable addition and likely to have a significant impact on the game. Her synergy with Mystique opens up numerous strategic possibilities, and she can fit well into Zoo decks too. As more Ongoing cards are released, players will continue to explore her potential. Expect to see several meta-relevant decks featuring Moonstone following her release.
