Best Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Get ready, *Marvel Snap* fans, because another Celestial, Eson, is making his way into the game. While he might not shake up the meta like Arishem, Eson brings unique strategies to the table. Let's dive into the best Eson decks and how to use him effectively in *Marvel Snap*.

How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with the ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." A created card is one generated during the game, not one that started in your deck. This means Eson can pull cards like those from White Queen or Arishem onto the board. To play Eson effectively, you'll need ramp cards such as Electro, Wave, or Luna Snow to bring him out early and maximize his value.

The main counter to Eson is filling your opponent's hand with unwanted cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, since Gorgon won't affect him directly.

Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Eson synergizes well with Arishem decks. You'll want to pair them for optimal performance, allowing you to play Eson on turn 5 and gain 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 list include Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. Only Doom 2099 and Arishem are essential for this strategy. You can swap in cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob as needed.

Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition if you don't draw Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. Save the cards generated by Arishem for after you play Eson on turn 5. If you don't have any pulls, you can opt for Doctor Doom instead.

Note that you don't want to play Eson for more than 3 turns, so getting him out on turn 5 is ideal. Be mindful of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099 and choose your game plan accordingly.

For a different approach, consider a hand-generation deck inspired by the old Devil Dinosaur lists, but without Devil Dinosaur:

• 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, but the others can be swapped with cards like Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave.

The goal is to play Wiccan on turn 4, discounting hand-generated cards with Quinjet to play cheap ones before Eson pulls the expensive ones late in the game. Mockingbird adds a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp out Eson. This deck's playlines vary with each game, making it both inconsistent and thrilling.

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

If you're low on resources and don't play Arishem decks, it might not be worth picking up Eson, especially with other exciting cards like Starbrand and Khonshu on the horizon. However, if you're an Arishem enthusiast, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And there you have it—the best Eson decks to try in *Marvel Snap*. Enjoy experimenting with this new Celestial powerhouse!
