Some call her the new Daredevil, but Copycat can indeed become a more disruptive Marvel Snap card with this deck.
The Best Deck for Moon Knight
A standard discard deck featuring Apocalypse and Dracula is the best choice for the reworked Moon Knight. To replicate this setup, include the following cards alongside Moon Knight, Apocalypse, and Dracula: Modok, Morbius, Swarm, Blade, Gambit, Miek, Lady Sif, and Corvus Glaive.

In this deck, your primary goal is to discard Apocalypse to maximize his Power, have Dracula absorb it, and buff Morbius with each discard. Moon Knight plays a crucial role in targeting the right discard cards, while Miek and Stature are versatile "joker" cards to surprise your opponent in unexpected locations.
Moon Knight Rework in Marvel Snap Explained
Marvel Snap’s late-July patch changed Moon Knight’s On Reveal text to “Discard a card with an even Cost from each player’s hand.” Previously, this card would remove one random card from each hand, but it can now target specific cards, thanks to the rework.
This change follows Thanos' rework, which altered the effects of his Stones. Marvel Snap developers appear eager to balance the metagame by reintroducing cards that were previously forgotten or underrated after giving them new effects and text.
Here’s how the reworked Moon Knight Works:
- Once dropped, Moon Knight discards one card from each player’s hand, provided that they have the same Cost.
- If there are no cards with even Cost, Moon Knight’s On Reveal effect won’t be triggered.
- If there are multiple cards with even Cost, Moon Knight will choose his targets randomly.
How to Counter the Reworked Moon Knight
Running a discard deck against the new Moon Knight is a strategic choice, as discard decks benefit significantly from Moon Knight’s effect and are likely to sustain minimal damage. However, since Moon Knight is still an On Reveal card, Cosmo can also prevent his effect from triggering.
