How Doctor Doom 2099 Works in Marvel Snap

Doctor Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a game-changing ability: After each turn, if you played exactly one card, a DoomBot 2099 is added to a random location. These DoomBot 2099s (also 4-cost, 2-power) provide an ongoing buff: +1 power to all other DoomBots and Doctor Doom. This synergy extends to regular Doctor Doom as well.

The strategy revolves around playing one card per turn. Early deployment of Doom 2099, potentially boosted by cards like Psylocke, can lead to a significant power advantage. With optimal play, Doom 2099 effectively becomes a 17-power card, with even greater potential when paired with cards like Magik.

However, there are drawbacks. The random placement of DoomBot 2099s can be unpredictable, potentially hindering your strategy or giving your opponent an advantage. Furthermore, Enchantress, a recently buffed card, completely negates the DoomBot 2099 power boost.

Best Doctor Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap

Doctor Doom 2099's ability to generate power consistently makes him a compelling addition to various deck archetypes. Here are two examples:

Spectrum Ongoing Deck:

This budget-friendly deck features only Doom 2099 as a Series 5 card. The strategy focuses on getting Doom 2099 out early using cards like Psylocke or Electro, maximizing the number of DoomBot 2099s. This deck is flexible, allowing for adaptations depending on the early game. Cosmo is crucial for mitigating Enchantress. Example decklist:

• Ant-Man
• Goose
• Psylocke
• Captain America
• Cosmo
• Electro
• Doom 2099
• Wong
• Klaw
• Doctor Doom
• Spectrum
• Onslaught

Patriot-Style Deck:

This deck uses a Patriot strategy, leveraging Mister Sinister and Brood in the early game before deploying Doom 2099. Zabu helps discount 4-cost cards. Super Skrull provides a counter to other Doom 2099 decks, but this deck remains vulnerable to Enchantress. Example decklist:

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

Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

While the other cards in the Spotlight Cache (Daken and Miek) are relatively weak, Doctor Doom 2099 is a worthwhile investment. His power and relatively low deck-building cost guarantee his place as a meta-defining card. Using Collector's Tokens is recommended if available, but don't hesitate to acquire him this month. He's likely to become one of Marvel Snap's most impactful cards, unless significant nerfs are implemented.
