Best Eson Decks in Marvel Snap

Prepare yourself because another Celestial, Eson, is joining Marvel Snap. While he may not be as game-defining as his protege Arishem, Eson still offers unique strategies. Here are the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap to help you dominate the battlefield.

How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a powerful 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 gameplay, such as from White Queen or Arishem, and not one that started in your deck. This allows you to strategically target Eson’s ability, as it won’t pull cards that were originally in your deck.

Given Eson’s high cost, you'll need ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him earlier and maximize his impact. The only direct counter to Eson is filling your opponent’s hand with unwanted cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, as Gorgon won’t affect him.

Eson synergizes well with Arishem, making them a dynamic duo. Playing Eson without Arishem is not recommended, as Arishem allows you to play Eson on turn 5 and get two free pulls. Here’s an effective deck list:

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 swap other cards with options like Jeff, Agent Coulson, and Blob.

Eson serves as an alternative lane-winning condition if you don’t draw Mockingbird or generate high-power cards. You can save Arishem-generated cards to play after Eson on turn 5, giving you two turns to utilize them. If you don’t have suitable pulls, you can opt for Doctor Doom instead.

Note that playing Eson for more than three turns isn’t advisable, so aim to play him on turn 5. Also, be aware of his anti-synergy with Doom 2099, and decide your game plan before playing either.

Finding another suitable deck for Eson can be challenging, but a hand-generation deck similar to old Devil Dinosaur lists could work, sans the Dinosaur. Here’s a potential list:

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

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is essential, but other cards can be replaced with Sentinel, Psylocke, or Wave.

The goal is to play Wiccan on turn 4, discounting hand-generated cards with Quinjet, allowing you to play cheaper cards before Eson pulls the expensive ones late game. Mockingbird provides a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help you ramp Eson out early. The deck's playlines vary as you generate cards, making it inconsistent but fun.

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

If you're short on resources and not an Arishem player, it might not be worth investing in Eson, especially with other promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu coming soon. However, if you frequently play Arishem, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And those are the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap.
