How Doctor Doom 2099 Works in Marvel Snap

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

Optimal play involves playing one card per turn. Early deployment of Doctor Doom 2099 leads to three DoomBot 2099s, significantly boosting power. Consider Doctor Doom 2099 as a potentially 17-power card (or more with early plays or Magik).

However, there are downsides. DoomBot 2099 placement is random, potentially hindering your strategy. Furthermore, Enchantress completely negates the DoomBot 2099 buffs.

Best Day One Doctor Doom 2099 Decks in Marvel Snap

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

Deck 1: Spectrum Ongoing

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

This budget-friendly deck (only Doctor Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Aim for early Doctor Doom 2099 plays using Psylocke or Electro. Psylocke enables powerful Wong/Klaw/Doctor Doom combos. Electro facilitates powerful plays with Onslaught and high-cost cards. Cosmo protects against Enchantress.

Deck 2: Patriot Style

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

This equally affordable deck utilizes a Patriot strategy. Early game focuses on Mister Sinister and Brood, transitioning to Doctor Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, and Doctor Doom. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early plays if Patriot fails. Note that you can strategically skip DoomBot 2099 spawns to play two 3-cost cards on the final turn. Super Skrull counters other Doctor Doom 2099 decks. This deck is vulnerable to Enchantress.

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

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doctor Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doctor Doom 2099 is a worthwhile investment. His power and deck-building affordability ensure his meta relevance. Use Collector's Tokens if available; don't miss out on this potentially history-making card.
