Moonstone's Game Mechanics · Top Starter Decks · Spotlight Cache Evaluation
Moonstone is a 4-energy, 6-power card with Ongoing: "Copies Ongoing effects from your 1, 2, and 3-cost cards at this location."
This creates powerful synergies with Ant-Man, Quinjet, Ravonna Renslayer, and Patriot. When combined with Mystique to duplicate strong Ongoing abilities, she can amplify effects from Iron Man or Onslaught exponentially.
Her vulnerability to Enchantress remains significant, as this can nullify all Ongoing effects in her lane without Cosmo's protection. Echo presents a less common but noteworthy counter against combo-focused Moonstone decks.
Moonstone shines brightest in decks built around low-cost Ongoing cards. Currently, two archetypes dominate: Patriot variants and Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur hybrids. First, let's examine the Patriot version:
Wasp · Ant-Man · Dazzler · Mister Sinister · Invisible Woman · Mystique · Patriot · Brood · Iron Lad · Moonstone · Blue Marvel · Ultron

Fortunately, Moonstone stands as the only Series 5 card required.
The Patriot-Mystique-Ultron combo remains devastating: final-turn Ultron floods locations with 6-power drones (24 power total). Adding Moonstone potentially doubles this to 48 power when stacked with Patriot and Mystique - virtually unbeatable without Enchantress interference.
Ant-Man and Dazzler provide reliable Moonstone synergy even when combo pieces are scarce, while Iron Lad tutors critical cards. Invisible Woman shields Patriot and Mystique from most counters - though remain wary of Alioth's disruption.

The second recommended variant utilizes Victoria Hand's synergy 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
Copy this decklist from Untapped.
Victoria Hand and Wiccan (Series 5 exclusives) prove essential here, though Copycat can substitute for Red Guardian or Rocket/Groot.
This Devil Dinosaur variant follows classic principles: play the dinosaur on turn 5, duplicate with Mystique, then activate Agent Coulson's card generation. Victoria Hand amplifies Hawkeye's arrows and generated cards while giving Mystique additional copying options.
Moonstone requires careful positioning here: anticipate Mystique's target location. Play Moonstone proactively when copying Devil Dinosaur, or ensure lane placement if duplicating Victoria Hand's effects.
With Mystique-duplicated Victoria Hand and Moonstone active, Sentinels can reach 9 power while maintaining hand size for Devil Dinosaur dominance. Strategic Cosmo placement remains crucial against prevalent Enchantress and Rogue counters.
Moonstone represents one of this month's most impactful additions, with lasting meta relevance. Her Mystique synergy creates numerous strategic possibilities beyond the discussed archetypes, including Zoo deck integration. Future Ongoing card releases will inevitably consider Moonstone interactions - expect multiple competitive decks to emerge.
These strategies showcase Moonstone's competitive potential in Marvel Snap.
