Doctor 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 a 4-cost, 2-power card) provides an ongoing buff: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." This synergy extends to regular Doctor Doom, making him even stronger.
The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn after summoning Doom 2099. Perfect execution yields a potent 17-power card (or more with early plays or Magik).
However, there are drawbacks. DoomBot 2099's random placement 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 Spectrum-based Ongoing decks highly effective. Consider these options:
Deck 1: Budget-Friendly Spectrum Deck
Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught. (Copyable from Untapped)
This affordable deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Aim to play Doom 2099 early using Psylocke or Electro. Cosmo protects your cards from Enchantress.
Deck 2: Patriot-Style Deck
Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum. (Copyable from Untapped)
Another budget-friendly option (again, only Doom 2099 is Series 5), this deck utilizes the Patriot strategy. Zabu helps deploy 4-cost cards early. Super Skrull counters other Doom 2099 decks. Note that this deck is vulnerable to Enchantress.
Remember, you can strategically skip triggering Doom 2099's ability on the final turn to play stronger cards like Patriot and Iron Lad.
Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doctor Doom 2099 is a valuable acquisition. His power and deck-building versatility make him a likely meta staple. Use Collector's Tokens if available, but don't hesitate to invest in him. He's poised to be one of Marvel Snap's best cards.
