Top Khonshu Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

Attention all *Marvel Snap* enthusiasts and discard deck aficionados! The mystical Khonshu, God of the Moon, has arrived to enhance your gameplay with his unique and complex mechanics. Let's delve into the intricacies of how Khonshu functions in the game and explore the best deck configurations to leverage his power.

How Khonshu Works in *Marvel Snap*

Khonshu is a 6-cost card with an initial power of 5. His ability reads: "When discarded, returns in its next phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 5."

Khonshu's 'next phase' transforms him into a 6-cost, 8-power card with the ability: "When discarded, returns in its final phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 8."

Finally, Khonshu's 'final phase' evolves him into a 6-cost, 12-power card with the ability: "On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 12."

Each time Khonshu is discarded, he upgrades, enhancing his On Reveal effect significantly. This mechanic mirrors that of Apocalypse, but with a twist that allows for strategic resurrection and power boosts.

The strategy with Khonshu often involves discarding him one or two times before playing him on the final turn to resurrect a high-impact card like Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher, now with a substantial power increase. Although Khonshu can't target specific cards for revival, deploying his 12-power final phase to resurrect a 1-cost Meek at 12 power can clinch victories.

Khonshu's integration into existing deck archetypes requires experimentation, as he may not perfectly fit into traditional discard decks. However, he seems well-suited for a Darkhawk-style Stature deck, as well as other innovative discard-type strategies. Let's examine a potential Darkhawk-Stature deck:

• Korg
• Blade
• Fenris Wolf
• Juggernaut
• Moon Knight
• Lady Sif
• Rock Slide
• Silver Samurai
• Darkhawk
• Black Bolt
• Stature
• Khonshu

The inclusion of Fenris Wolf, a Series 5 card, is crucial as resurrecting an opponent's discarded card from Moon Knight, Silver Samurai, or Black Bolt often leads to victory.

The strategy here is to clog your opponent's deck with rocks to power up Darkhawk while maximizing Khonshu's discards. Moon Knight and Blade ensure multiple discards of Khonshu, enhancing his power. Timing is key; you want Moon Knight to hit Khonshu rather than Rock Slide. Play Stature early to set up a turn 5 Darkhawk and a turn 6 Khonshu, resurrecting a card with 8 to 12 power.

While Khonshu might not seamlessly fit into traditional discard decks alongside Apocalypse without energy ramp, there's potential for experimentation. Here's a deck incorporating Corvus Glaive for energy ramp:

• Miek
• Scorn
• Blade
• Morbius
• Swarm
• Moon Knight
• Corvus Glaive
• Lady Sif
• Dracula
• MODOK
• Khonshu
• Apocalypse

Scorn, a Series 5 card, can be swapped for other discard activators like Colleen Wing or energy ramp options like X-23. This deck aims to utilize Corvus Glaive on turn 3 to enable playing Khonshu alongside other discard activators, boosting Apocalypse and flooding the board. Whether this can outpace traditional discard decks without Khonshu is yet to be determined, but with Moon Knight, Blade, and Lady Sif, reaching Khonshu's final phase should be feasible while maintaining Apocalypse's strength for Dracula.

Is Khonshu Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

Khonshu is not only a powerful addition but also a fascinating one for *Marvel Snap* players. Whether you're a fan of discard decks or not, his potential to influence meta-relevant hybrid discard lists makes him a worthy investment. If you have the resources, Khonshu is definitely a card to consider adding to your collection.
