How Doctor Doom 2099 Works in Marvel Snap

Doctor Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: After each turn, if you played exactly one card, a DoomBot 2099 is added to a random location. These DoomBot 2099s (also 4-cost, 2-power) provide an ongoing +1 power buff to other DoomBots and Doctor Doom. Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom cards.

The strategy revolves around playing only one card per turn after summoning Doom 2099. This generates multiple DoomBot 2099s, significantly boosting your power. Early placement of Doom 2099, or extending the game with cards like Magik, maximizes this effect. Optimally, Doom 2099 can function as a 17-power card, potentially even more with strategic timing and card combinations.

However, there are drawbacks. The random placement of DoomBots can hinder your strategy, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.

Best Doctor Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap

Doctor Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement makes him a strong fit for Spectrum-style decks. Here are two effective examples:

Deck 1: Spectrum Ongoing

• Ant-Man
• Goose
• Psylocke
• Captain America
• Cosmo
• Electro
• Doom 2099
• Wong
• Klaw
• Doctor Doom
• Spectrum
• Onslaught

This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Psylocke allows for early Doom 2099 placement, leading to a powerful Wong/Klaw/Doctor Doom combo. Alternatively, an Electro-centric strategy uses high-cost cards like Onslaught to amplify the power of DoomBots and Spectrum. Cosmo protects against Enchantress.

Deck 2: Patriot-Style

• Ant-Man
• Zabu
• Dazzler
• Mister Sinister
• Patriot
• Brood
• Doom 2099
• Super Skrull
• Iron Lad
• Blue Marvel
• Doctor Doom
• Spectrum

This equally affordable deck utilizes the Patriot strategy, deploying cards like Mister Sinister and Brood early. Doom 2099 follows, with Blue Marvel and Doctor Doom providing further power boosts. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards to compensate for missed Patriot triggers. The deck allows for strategic skipping of DoomBot spawns to play multiple cards on the final turn. However, it's vulnerable to Enchantress, countered somewhat by the inclusion of Super Skrull.

Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

While the other cards in the Spotlight Cache (Daken and Miek) are less impactful, Doctor Doom 2099 is a worthwhile investment. His power and deck-building versatility make him a likely meta staple. Using Collector's Tokens is preferred, but don't hesitate to acquire him this month. He's predicted to be a top-tier card unless nerfed.
