Top-Tier Doom 2099 Strategies for Marvel Snap

Marvel Snap's Second Anniversary Brings Doctor Doom 2099: Top Deck Strategies

Marvel Snap continues its second-year run with the introduction of more alternate character versions. This time, it's the formidable Doctor Doom, in his 2099 iteration. This guide explores the most effective Doom 2099 decks.

Understanding Doom 2099 in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: "After each turn, add a DoomBot 2099 to a random location if you played (exactly) 1 card." DoomBot 2099 (also 4-cost, 2-power) has the ability: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." Crucially, this synergy extends to regular Doctor Doom and his DoomBots.

Playing one card per turn maximizes Doom 2099's potential. An early Doom 2099 can yield three DoomBots, adding significant power. Combining this with Doctor Doom on the final turn amplifies the effect further. Ideally, Doom 2099 functions as a 17-power card (or more with early plays or Magik).

However, there are drawbacks. DoomBot 2099 placement is random, potentially hindering your strategy. Furthermore, Enchantress (recently buffed) completely negates DoomBot 2099's power boost.

Top-Tier Doom 2099 Decks (Day One)

Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement revitalizes Spectrum Ongoing decks. Consider these options:

Deck 1: Spectrum-focused Strategy

• 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. Early Doom 2099 plays (facilitated by Psylocke or Electro) maximize power distribution. Alternatively, focus on spreading Doctor Doom or leveraging Spectrum's buffs. Cosmo counters Enchantress, protecting key cards.

Deck 2: Patriot-style Approach

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

Another cost-effective deck (only Doom 2099 is Series 5). This deck utilizes the standard Patriot strategy, deploying early cards like Mister Sinister and Brood before transitioning to Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, or Spectrum. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early plays. Strategic flexibility allows skipping DoomBot 2099 spawns for stronger late-game plays. However, it's highly vulnerable to Enchantress; Super Skrull provides counterplay against other Doom 2099 decks.

Is Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?

While the accompanying Spotlight Cache cards (Daken and Miek) are underwhelming, Doom 2099's power and deck-building accessibility make him a worthwhile acquisition. Use Collector's Tokens if available; he's predicted to be a meta staple unless nerfed.

These are some of the best Doom 2099 decks currently available in Marvel Snap. Enjoy the game! Marvel Snap is available now.
