How Eson Works in Marvel Snap
Eson is a 6-Cost, 10-Power Celestial with the ability: "End of Turn: Put a created card from your hand here." Created cards include those generated by effects like White Queen or Arishem—essentially any card not originally in your deck.
Since Eson shares Arishem's high energy cost, ramp tools like Electro, Wave, and Lunatik Snowguard are essential for playing him early. The only reliable counterplay involves filling your opponent's hand with undesirable cards like Master Mold's Sentinels.
Best Day One Eson Decks in Marvel Snap
Eson synergizes best with Arishem—their combined effects allow Turn 5 Eson plays followed by two free pulls. Here's a competitive decklist:
- Iron Patriot
- Valentina
- Luke Cage
- Doom 2099
- Shang-Chi
- Enchantress
- Galacta Daughter of Galactus
- Legion
- Doctor Doom
- Mockingbird
- Eson
- Arishem
While Series 5 cards dominate this list, only Doom 2099 and Arishem are truly essential. Flexible slots can accommodate Jeff, Agent Coulson, or Blob depending on your collection.
The deck offers multiple win conditions—either deploy Mockingbird for raw power or leverage Eson+Arishem synergy. Remember that Eson and Doom 2099 conflict mechanically, so commit to one strategy early.
Alternative builds focus on hand generation reminiscent of classic Devil Dinosaur decks:
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Iron Patriot
- Peni Parker
- Valentina
- Victoria Hand
- Agent Coulson
- White Queen
- Lunatik Snowguard
- Wiccan
- Mockingbird
- Eson
This variant relies on Wiccan's discount effect and Quinjet's cost reduction to flood the board before Esummoning high-value generated cards late game. While unpredictable, it offers explosive potential.

Unless you're heavily invested in Arishem gameplay, consider saving resources for upcoming releases like Starbrand and Khonshu. But for Celestial enthusiasts, Eson delivers compelling midrange value.
Marvel Snap is available now on mobile and PC platforms.
