How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with an intriguing ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." A "created card" refers to any card generated during the game, such as those from White Queen or Arishem, rather than those starting in your deck. This allows you to strategically utilize Eson's ability, as it won't affect cards originally in your deck.

Given his 6-cost nature, you'll need ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to bring him out earlier and maximize his impact. The only direct counter to Eson is filling your opponent's hand with less desirable cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, as Gorgon won't be effective against him.

Eson synergizes well with Arishem, making them a dynamic duo. You'll want to include Arishem in your deck to play Eson on turn 5, enabling two free pulls. Here’s a recommended deck:

• 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 are Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. Essential cards for this strategy are Doom 2099 and Arishem, but you can swap others like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob.

Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition if you don't pull Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. Save the cards generated by Arishem for after playing Eson on turn 5, giving you two turns to use them. If no pulls are available, you can opt for Doctor Doom instead.

Note that playing Eson for more than three turns isn’t optimal, so aim to play him on turn 5. Be mindful of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099, and decide your game plan accordingly.

Finding another fitting deck for Eson can be challenging, but a hand-generation deck similar to old Devil Dinosaur lists might work, sans Devil Dinosaur. Here's an alternative deck:

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

The Series 5 cards here are Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is crucial for this deck, but you can replace other cards with Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave.

Your goal with this deck is to play Wiccan on turn 4, discounting hand-generated cards with Quinjet to play out cheaper cards before Eson pulls the more expensive ones later in the game. Mockingbird adds another power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson out earlier. The deck's playlines vary greatly with each game, making it inconsistent but exciting.

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 wise to invest in Eson, especially with other exciting cards like Starbrand and Khonshu on the horizon. However, if you're a dedicated Arishem player, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And there you have it—the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap. Whether you choose to embrace his power or not, Eson adds another layer of strategy to this ever-evolving game.
