How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a powerful 6-cost card with 10 power and an intriguing ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." What does this mean? Eson targets cards that weren't part of your initial deck—think cards generated by White Queen or Arishem. This ability allows for strategic play, as Eson won't pull cards that started in your deck.

Given his high cost, you'll need to use ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him earlier and maximize his impact. The only real counter to Eson is flooding your opponent's hand with undesirable cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, since Gorgon won't affect him.

Eson synergizes best with Arishem, making them a dynamic duo. Playing Eson without Arishem is less optimal, but here's a powerful deck list to get you started:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2088
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galacta Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

The Series 5 cards in this deck include Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. While Doom 2099 and Arishem are essential, you can swap out other cards for alternatives like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob.

Eson serves as an alternative win condition if you don't draw Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. You can save Arishem's generated cards for after playing Eson on turn 5, allowing two turns to pull them. If you have no pulls, you can opt for Doctor Doom instead.

Remember, playing Eson for more than three turns isn't ideal, so aim to play him on turn 5. Be mindful of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099 and choose your game plan wisely.

Finding another deck for Eson can be challenging, but a hand-generation deck inspired by old Devil Dinosaur lists might work, albeit without the Dinosaur. Here's another list to consider:

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

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is crucial, but the rest can be replaced with cards like Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave.

This deck aims to play Wiccan on turn 4, using Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards. Play the cheaper cards early, saving the more expensive ones for Eson to pull late in the game. Mockingbird adds a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson out early. The deck's playlines will vary with each card generation, making it both inconsistent and incredibly fun.

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

If you're low on resources and not an Arishem player, it might not be worth investing in Eson, especially with other exciting cards like Starbrand and Khonshu on the horizon. However, if you're an Arishem enthusiast, Eson is a must-have addition to your collection.

And there you have it—the best Eson decks to try in Marvel Snap. Whether you're looking to dominate the battlefield or experiment with new strategies, Eson offers exciting possibilities.
