How Doom 2099 Functions in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099 is a 4-cost, 2-power card with a unique 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 Doom. Crucially, this buff applies to both Doom 2099 and regular Doctor Doom, synergizing well with existing Doom strategies.

Playing one card per turn maximizes Doom 2099's potential, creating up to three DoomBot 2099s for a significant power boost. Early deployment or extending the game with Magik further amplifies this effect. In optimal scenarios, Doom 2099 effectively becomes a 17-power card, with even greater potential under ideal circumstances.

However, there are drawbacks. The random placement of DoomBot 2099s can hinder strategic positioning, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.

Top Tier Day One Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap

Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement lends itself to Spectrum Ongoing decks. Consider these options:

Deck 1: Budget-Friendly Spectrum/Doom 2099

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

This affordable deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Aim for early Doom 2099 deployment using Psylocke or Electro. Psylocke allows for powerful plays with Wong, Klaw, and Doctor Doom. Electro enables the use of high-cost cards like Onslaught alongside DoomBot 2099s and Spectrum. Cosmo counters Enchantress, protecting key cards.

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

This budget-friendly deck (again, only Doom 2099 is Series 5) utilizes a Patriot strategy. Early-game cards like Mister Sinister and Brood set the stage for Doom 2099, followed by Blue Marvel and Doctor Doom or Spectrum. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early plays. The deck allows flexibility; skipping a DoomBot 2099 allows for playing two 3-cost cards on the final turn. However, it's highly vulnerable to Enchantress, countered somewhat by the inclusion of Super Skrull.

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

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doom 2099 himself is a worthwhile investment. His strength and deck-building affordability almost guarantee meta relevance. Use Collector's Tokens if possible, but securing Doom 2099 is highly recommended. He's poised to be one of Marvel Snap's best cards, unless significant nerfs are implemented.
