How Doom 2099 Functions in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique ability: "After each turn, add a DoomBot 2099 to a random location if you played (exactly) 1 card."

DoomBot 2099 (also 4-cost, 2-power) has the ability: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom.

The strategy centers on playing exactly one card per turn. Early deployment of Doom 2099 (using cards like Psylocke) yields three DoomBot 2099s, significantly boosting power. Combining this with Doctor Doom on the final turn maximizes potential. Under ideal conditions, Doom 2099 effectively becomes a 17-power card, with even higher potential through strategic card plays or Magik's game extension.

However, there are drawbacks. DoomBot 2099 placement is random, potentially hindering your strategy. Furthermore, Enchantress (recently buffed) completely negates the DoomBot 2099 power boost.

Top-Tier Doom 2099 Decks for Day One

Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement makes Spectrum Ongoing decks highly relevant. Here are two examples:

Deck 1: Spectrum Ongoing Focus

Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught. [Untapped deck link here]

This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Early Doom 2099 deployment (via Psylocke or Electro) is ideal. Alternatively, focus on spreading Doctor Doom's power or leveraging Spectrum's buffs. Cosmo protects against Enchantress.

Deck 2: Patriot-Style Doom 2099

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum. [Untapped deck link here]

Another cost-effective deck (only Doom 2099 is Series 5). This deck follows a typical Patriot strategy, using early-game cards like Mister Sinister and Brood, before deploying Doom 2099 and powerful follow-ups like Blue Marvel and Doctor Doom or Spectrum. Zabu provides cost reduction for 4-cost cards. Note that this deck is vulnerable to Enchantress, but includes Super Skrull as a counter to other Doom 2099 decks. Strategic flexibility allows skipping DoomBot 2099 spawns to play powerful cards on the final turn.

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

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doom 2099's power and deck-building affordability make him a worthwhile investment. Use Collector's Tokens if available, but don't hesitate to acquire him this month. He's predicted to be a meta-defining card, unless significant nerfs are implemented.
