How Eson Works in Marvel Snap

Eson is a 6-cost, 10-power card with an ability that reads: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." A created card is one generated by cards like White Queen or Arishem, meaning it didn't start in your deck. This allows you to strategically target Eson's ability, as it won't pull cards that were originally in your deck to the board.

Given Eson's 6-cost nature, you'll need assistance from ramp cards like Electro, Wave, and Luna Snow to play him early and maximize his value. The only direct counter to Eson is filling your opponent's hand with less desirable cards, such as rocks or Sentinels from Master Mold, since Gorgon won't be effective against him.

Eson synergizes well with Arishem, making it advisable to include both in your deck. Arishem allows you to play Eson on turn 5 and benefit from two free pulls. Here's a recommended list:

• Iron Patriot
• Valentina
• Luke Cage
• Doom 2088
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Galacta Daughter of Galactus
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Mockingbird
• Eson
• Arishem

The Series 5 cards in this deck are Iron Patriot, Valentina, Doom 2099, Galacta Daughter of Galactus, Mockingbird, and Arishem. Essential cards are Doom 2099 and Arishem, though you can substitute others 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 hold onto cards generated by Arishem until after playing Eson on turn 5, giving you two turns to use them. If you don't have suitable cards to pull, consider playing Doctor Doom instead.

Keep in mind that you don't want to play Eson for more than 3 turns, so playing him on turn 5 is ideal. He has anti-synergy with Doom 2099, so decide your game plan before playing either.

Finding another deck to fit Eson in is challenging, but a hand-generation deck similar to old Devil Dinosaur lists could work—without the Devil Dinosaur. Here's another list:

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

The Series 5 cards here are Iron Patriot, Peni Parker, Valentina, Victoria Hand, Luna Snow, Wiccan, and Mockingbird. Wiccan is essential, but other cards can be swapped for Sentinel, Psylocke, and Wave. The goal is to use Wiccan on turn 4, discounting hand-generated cards with Quinjet to play the cheaper ones before Eson pulls the more expensive ones late in the game. Mockingbird provides a power spike, while Peni Parker and Luna Snow help get Eson out early.

This deck's playlines will vary significantly as you generate cards, making it both inconsistent 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 wise to spend on Eson, especially with other promising cards like Starbrand and Khonshu coming out this month. However, if you're an avid Arishem player, Eson is a valuable addition to your collection.

And those are the best Eson decks in Marvel Snap.
