How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with a unique ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." A "created card" is one generated during gameplay, such as from White Queen or Arishem, and not part of your original deck. This allows you to strategically use Eson to bring these cards onto the board.

Given Eson's high cost, you'll want to employ ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him earlier and maximize his value. Be wary of direct counters like filling your opponent's hand with unwanted cards from Master Mold.

Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Eson synergizes well with Arishem decks, where Arishem's ability to drop Eson on turn 5 can yield two free card 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

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. However, only Doom 2099 and Arishem are crucial for this strategy. You can experiment with other cards like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob. Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition, especially useful when you don't draw Mockingbird or other high-power cards. Remember, playing Eson for more than three turns isn't ideal due to his anti-synergy with Doom 2099.

For a different approach, consider a hand-generation deck inspired by 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

This deck features Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is essential, but other cards can be swapped with Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave. The goal is to play Wiccan on turn 4, use Quinjet to discount hand-generated cards, and then leverage Eson to pull out the expensive ones later. Mockingbird adds a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help ramp Eson out early. This deck offers dynamic playlines but can be inconsistent, making it both challenging and fun.

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 worth investing in Eson, especially with other promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu on the horizon. However, if you're an avid Arishem player, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And there you have it—the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap. Whether you're looking to dominate with Arishem or experiment with hand-generation strategies, Eson offers exciting possibilities.
