Alex, love that you include fun games you lose in your review videos. It is such a testament to who you are as a content creator and why, I think, so many of us come back to watch. I can get perfect pop off combo highlights anywhere, I come for the kneeling before GALACTUS!
Moonstone will age better than a lot of other cards. The problem it has is that there aren’t a lot of good ongoing cards that reach at the costs she wants Victoria hand and patriot are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head but I imagine more cards like that will be printed 😊
Shes definitely going to get better as time goes on however she does have a pretty decent home in the Quin + Victoria decks, C6 decks (surprisingly good), as well as any Ravonna decks. Ravonna and her in a single lane is 2 less cost for 0 power and less cards allowing you to do things like Iron Man + Mystique + Sage/IronHeart/Cassandra (though late turn) or Morph on turn 5 which you can then drop something like Odin if leaning to cards like Sage or Onslaught if pure Ongoing. It also lets you do some shenanigans with the goblins having a 3 cost Hobgoblin or 1 cost GreenGob. Cards that can act as a 2nd card like Mystique, Iron Lad, or even Frigga for a 2nd copy is always strong imo. Although narrowed to 1-3 cost cards I think Moonstone is a very strong enabler for many decks. Is she absolutely required right now? Probably not but shes strong enough to be a good slot and can only go up from here.
Maaaaaan! I’m loving Moonstone. With or without Vicky Hand. She’s a cheaper onslaught for her and patriot. So brood, doom; go crazy. Definitely will grow with time, no doubt.
@ if you’re a patriot fan, I say she’s def can easy cube stealer. I’m having fun with usagent and luke cage combos too. Also trying an annihlus and sentry combo with it too. Gambit and super Skrull seems to be the only potential issue if you can avoid the red guardian splash. So I’ve also added super skrull and echo for some counters
@@marcsarfati3291 this is mad clever actually. I’d def mystique the speed beforehand tho then probably have the options to onslaught her lane or moonstone/vise versa with speed.
A helpful pick for C6 decks to have more options for curve: Slot in Miles Morales + either Peni Parker or Jeff + Hulkbuster. Peni allows 5 power on turn 4 to drop cards like Iron Man or Blue Marvel (makes it a C7) early as well as her or JeffBuster allowing a move to reduce Miles to a 1 cost.
The FOMO aspect that you addressed earlier in the video is super helpful. I think that aspect should be addressed for future cards 😅. Specificaly for people like me
Took a couple of weeks off snap but Victoria hand pulled me back in. Already was getting resource fomo too, first time in ages I didn't even do the weekly challenge track.
I got +700 boosters with nocturne, when they removed a single power idk why I stopped playing her. You know all those annoying locations you just want to turn off? A last minute change from onslaught citadel when they got Ironman there?? Poof gone, yeah it can end in their favor but nocturne has won more games than lost. Swan is great in bounce/hitmonkey/thanos and I liked her on reveal better, especially with beast but an activate is great as long as you get her out before turn 4, after dont play unless you got no other options
Moonstone is definitely interesting, and i feel like she has potential. I've been trying a on-going deck that is running cards like speed, captain America , mr fantastic, and Spectrum. Along with some other ongoing cards
I grabbed this card cuz i wanted the Nocturne variant. After testing her for hours. Is good (like maybe a 3'5/5) but very niche. The best cards to duplicate are by far Mystique, Patriot and Victoria Hand Good cards to duplicate: Quinjet, Ant-Man, Dazzler and Speed (Pim Arrow too but you need luck to create it) Copium cards to duplicate: Mojo, USAgent, Strong Guy, Cap America and Punisher
Been underwhelming so far but I’m not too worried, everyone is playing skrull and rouge and enchantress , still need to try tribunal, patriot and maybe discard
thanks for the information for the patch update, waited whole night (in asia) to get Victoria Hand and Kate Bishop. As expected, i used up 4 keys to get both and earn 2k token along the way
Wait, I am confused why would Negative Gorr want this? Moonstone won't buff those cards that aren't originally the costs mentioned unless the way snap devs word has changed.
That's exactly what is bugging me. I rewatched the whole match and couldn't find any source of extra energy to help play Galactus early lol EDIT: Oh, it was a really different Arishem deck with really good draws lol Notice how Ravonna and Blade has the same background and border!
I felt she was kind of mediocre at first but I'm starting to pull a lot of 4+ cube games because my opponents are just straight underestimating how much she's boosting things.
So I may have broke the game, or the interaction is bugged, or perhaps it's a weird interaction I don't understand... So here's the situation: I played antman, dazzler and thought I would play mystique after moonstone to copy multiples of antman and dazzler. This did not happen. Mystique seemed to cancel out moonstone and turn off the ability all together..... Can someone explain this interaction? Or if it's a bug?
The Nocturne variant is bad but the Black Swan variant is probably the worst variant I've ever seen. I despise it. So of course Moonstone took me four keys and I got both of those awful things.
@ i knew that would happen to me if i pulled this week after one-keying victoria. i’m good with both the variants next week on my way to bullseye though!
I rolled the cache after updating and i got U.S.Agent instead of tokens, just i got lucky or may be they changed the drop rates without saying anything? guys, can you tell us your experience with the "tokens cache"?
Similar to fenris wolf, this card is completely unessesary & won't see its best for a while. Doesnt play well with others and needs help to get anywhere. Still want it and the nocturne varient
Huh?!! Bruh.. cerebro isn't the only card in the game. Also try your hands and mind at creating a C6 deck if you love cerebro so much😂. I can share an original C6 deck list with you...
@@rischmoller1 then I don't think anyone will understand you saying she's mid and *would be better* at 5/3 or 4/3. Don't understand it one bit. Outside of c3 or something
@@ColHozeh she is too expensive and doesn't bring enough to be played at 4 cost. Also her ability is underwhelming, it doesn't do enough to feel strong or good to play
@@rischmoller1 yes that's why it's confusing that he says it'll be better at 5 cost. Second, her ability is not underwhelming. You can watch some more content to see if you still think that - but I'll give an example, moonstone + antman alone = 5/15. (i.e. 4/10 moonstone + 1/5 antman). Not counting the other 2 cards their with. Devil Dino is 5/19 max. Infinaut is 6/20. Blue Marvel is 5/12 Max. Also She can't get Shang chi'd if she gets to 10+ power if Colossus is in her lane.
She is meh. I rolled on her cache though for the random 4/5 card. I got Anti Venom. Can anyone suggest a deck with Anti Venom for someone without many series 4 and 5 cards?
Anti venom is just a good midrange card. I dunno what you have, but I'd def run shadow king and luke cage with him. Shang chi and iron man are good to run with hin. You could do a mystique/devil dinosaur thing.
Does fun stuff, when it works. Most of the time i get her too late or am not able to play her cause i need to play other stuff, but we'll see if more decks change that. Keys were easy this time, cause I had 4 and didn't have any of the cards. Next week it's just bullseye with Tokens, cause i own the other 2.
Alex, love that you include fun games you lose in your review videos. It is such a testament to who you are as a content creator and why, I think, so many of us come back to watch. I can get perfect pop off combo highlights anywhere, I come for the kneeling before GALACTUS!
I try to make it fun! I love all the little fun moments that happen 🤣
Alex: " That was an absolute thing of beauty! "
Galactus: " Kneel before Galactus ! "
Moonstone will age better than a lot of other cards. The problem it has is that there aren’t a lot of good ongoing cards that reach at the costs she wants Victoria hand and patriot are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head but I imagine more cards like that will be printed 😊
I spent all seven of my keys getting the spotlight. I know I'll have to wait for it to be great, but her time will come.
Quinjet
you forgot the best card in the game, captain america
Shes definitely going to get better as time goes on however she does have a pretty decent home in the Quin + Victoria decks, C6 decks (surprisingly good), as well as any Ravonna decks.
Ravonna and her in a single lane is 2 less cost for 0 power and less cards allowing you to do things like Iron Man + Mystique + Sage/IronHeart/Cassandra (though late turn) or Morph on turn 5 which you can then drop something like Odin if leaning to cards like Sage or Onslaught if pure Ongoing.

Ant-Man comes to mind
I saw that Galactus coming from a mile away (kilometer for you, Alex). Respect for keeping it in too show. Mad skills were definitely on display!
Had 17 keys and was going too skip the rest of the month anyway so I threw a key at her and got her 1 key
So Lucky
I had 5 keys and I rolled one out of Spite and got her in 1 also.
How tf you have 17 keys
@ the occasional bundle and the season pass
4 keys to get her spotlight. 😢
Maaaaaan! I’m loving Moonstone. With or without Vicky Hand. She’s a cheaper onslaught for her and patriot. So brood, doom; go crazy. Definitely will grow with time, no doubt.
If I play Patriot almost exclusively do you think she's worth spending tokens on?
@ if you’re a patriot fan, I say she’s def can easy cube stealer. I’m having fun with usagent and luke cage combos too. Also trying an annihlus and sentry combo with it too. Gambit and super Skrull seems to be the only potential issue if you can avoid the red guardian splash. So I’ve also added super skrull and echo for some counters
So in that last one, or last of saints took away the ongoing ability of mister fantastic that the Super Skrull was using to win the middle lane.
The fact that Mojo got his dub after the slander on the Snap chat 😆
lol. That first game! I love how you reacted. Awesome. Thanks for your thoughts and gameplays.
Gorr, Myst, Moon was the combo I was worried about.
“THE HUMANITY” 😂
Speed / moonstone very strong
Easy 20+ in a lane
Captain America with Moonstone is similar, honestly
@@marcsarfati3291 this is mad clever actually. I’d def mystique the speed beforehand tho then probably have the options to onslaught her lane or moonstone/vise versa with speed.
1:23 Good ol Canada 🍃💨
We out here 🇨🇦
Cheers bud 🍻

One tapping Hand earlier today has me thinking about getting Moonstone later in the week
"she was a 4/20 absolutely blazing" 😂
The FOMO aspect that you addressed earlier in the video is super helpful. I think that aspect should be addressed for future cards 😅. Specificaly for people like me
I used one key and got her, now it’s time to play some Patriot and use my gold split Ultron :)
Took a couple of weeks off snap but Victoria hand pulled me back in. Already was getting resource fomo too, first time in ages I didn't even do the weekly challenge track.
That Gman game was the most Alex game of all time. That's why 100k of us love you so much
❤️❤️❤️
Idk how meta prevalent nocturne or black swan are but I got them, new cards for me, back swan is cool with the hit monkey, moon girl, she hulk deck
I got +700 boosters with nocturne, when they removed a single power idk why I stopped playing her.
You know all those annoying locations you just want to turn off? A last minute change from onslaught citadel when they got Ironman there?? Poof gone, yeah it can end in their favor but nocturne has won more games than lost.

The best cards to duplicate are by far
Mystique, Patriot and Victoria Hand
Good cards to duplicate:
Quinjet, Ant-Man, Dazzler and Speed
(Pim Arrow too but you need luck to create it)
Copium cards to duplicate:
Mojo, USAgent, Strong Guy, Cap America and Punisher
Been underwhelming so far but I’m not too worried, everyone is playing skrull and rouge and enchantress , still need to try tribunal, patriot and maybe discard
Pure ultron/brood patriot in my meta. Switched to destroy for KM/LDS 😂
thanks for the information for the patch update, waited whole night (in asia) to get Victoria Hand and Kate Bishop. As expected, i used up 4 keys to get both and earn 2k token along the way

Instantly Bought Moonstone with tokens then got the variant cause it’s to pretty to pass 😊
(Imma Moonstone Fan)
Noice
I took me 2 keys, but I have now 2 new cards, I like ongoing effects are my favorite!
Another great episode. Thanks guys.
Love the content Alex. I think Moonstone is meant to be low curve. Love the brewing you did.
Thanks for the video and the decks.
She fits in great with my Ultron deck
Game 1 where did the extra energy for early Galactus come from ?
That's exactly what is bugging me. I rewatched the whole match and couldn't find any source of extra energy to help play Galactus early lol
EDIT: Oh, it was a really different Arishem deck with really good draws lol
Notice how Ravonna and Blade has the same background and border!
@RagsTattoo joshy is cheating bot confirmed😉👍
Arishem
@@phabidz thank you kind sir
It's Arishem of course. Notice that Gwen comes out early as well.
Why Quicksilver in that first deck?
That first game! Gotta respect it 😂
Yeah I F’ed up my game said updated, went in and got screwed cuz I had to manually update it
I want to read some comics to learn more about Moonstone. Anyone have any recommendations and/or places to start ?
I felt she was kind of mediocre at first but I'm starting to pull a lot of 4+ cube games because my opponents are just straight underestimating how much she's boosting things.
Ultron, Tribunal, random ongoing thats about it tbh lol could cope in discard with morbius/strong guy
A wild Galactus has appeared 😅
LOL at Moonstone was a 4/20, absolutely blazing
So I may have broke the game, or the interaction is bugged, or perhaps it's a weird interaction I don't understand...
So here's the situation: I played antman, dazzler and thought I would play mystique after moonstone to copy multiples of antman and dazzler. This did not happen. Mystique seemed to cancel out moonstone and turn off the ability all together.....
Can someone explain this interaction? Or if it's a bug?
Naaah fam, we skipping caches 'till March, the leaked BC Avengers caches look sooo goood. People going to cry if they change them
got her with tokens cuz those swan and nocturne variants were not my style. she is pretty cool so far and going to age like fine wine
The Nocturne variant is bad but the Black Swan variant is probably the worst variant I've ever seen. I despise it. So of course Moonstone took me four keys and I got both of those awful things.
@ i knew that would happen to me if i pulled this week after one-keying victoria. i’m good with both the variants next week on my way to bullseye though!

guys, can you tell us your experience with the "tokens cache"?
Had 10 keys and spent 2 fortunately didn’t have nocturne and now i do.
This guy never misses
The first game got me rolling
This was fast Mr. Coccia.
I didn't update and I have Alioth. I am now 800 tokens away from getting him.... 😢
Moonstone feels clunky to play at the moment!
After the perfect gameplay, then galactus coming is crazy wkww
"Kneel you fool"! 😂
Pretty sure this card is mid enough to skip especially having nocturne and black swan already
Similar to fenris wolf, this card is completely unessesary & won't see its best for a while. Doesnt play well with others and needs help to get anywhere. Still want it and the nocturne varient
good stuff as always
Glad you liked it!
I messed up on not updating my game 🤦♂️ i thought it was. Then of corse got a duplicate and got 1000 tokens 😩
OH THE HUMANITY
Talk shit about Mojo. Gets the Mojo smackdown. Love it!
Karma is a beach
Moonstone was underwhelming, it will age well but she would work better at 5/3 or 4/3
Huh?!! Bruh.. cerebro isn't the only card in the game.
Also try your hands and mind at creating a C6 deck if you love cerebro so much😂.
I can share an original C6 deck list with you...
@ColHozeh lol where did you even get the idea that I want to run her on cerebro ?
@@rischmoller1 then I don't think anyone will understand you saying she's mid and *would be better* at 5/3 or 4/3. Don't understand it one bit. Outside of c3 or something

Also She can't get Shang chi'd if she gets to 10+ power if Colossus is in her lane.
I see what you did thar
I’ve been waiting, Alex
She is meh. I rolled on her cache though for the random 4/5 card. I got Anti Venom. Can anyone suggest a deck with Anti Venom for someone without many series 4 and 5 cards?
Negative
Anti venom is just a good midrange card. I dunno what you have, but I'd def run shadow king and luke cage with him. Shang chi and iron man are good to run with hin. You could do a mystique/devil dinosaur thing.
Kmbest talks about him all the time
Any deck where you're running Like Cage and/or Shadow King
The spotlights looks sooo 🧟🤢🤣
Does fun stuff, when it works.
Most of the time i get her too late or am not able to play her cause i need to play other stuff, but we'll see if more decks change that.
Keys were easy this time, cause I had 4 and didn't have any of the cards. Next week it's just bullseye with Tokens, cause i own the other 2.
Watch this video first, before you decide to skip this card.
