Top Khonshu Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

Attention all *Marvel Snap* discard players: the God of the Moon, Khonshu, has arrived, bringing a dynamic new tool for discard-focused strategies. This card, one of the most intricate Second Dinner has introduced, promises to reshape how we approach discard decks. Let's dive deeper into the mechanics of Khonshu and explore how to harness his potential.

How Khonshu Works in *Marvel Snap*

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."

In his 'final phase,' Khonshu becomes 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."

As you can see, each time Khonshu is discarded, he returns to your hand with an upgraded version of himself, making his On Reveal effect increasingly powerful. This mechanic is reminiscent of Apocalypse, allowing for strategic plays. The typical strategy involves discarding Khonshu one or two times before playing him on the final turn to resurrect a card like Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher, significantly boosting their power.

Although Khonshu cannot resurrect a specific card, playing his 12-power final phase on turn 6 to revive a 1-cost card like Meek, now at 12 power, can often clinch victory.

Best Day One Khonshu Decks in *Marvel Snap*

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

This deck includes Fenris Wolf as the only Series 5 card, crucial for potentially winning by resurrecting an opponent's discarded card. The strategy involves filling your opponent's deck with rocks to empower Darkhawk, while maximizing Khonshu's discards. Key cards like Moon Knight, Silver Samurai, and Blade help achieve this. The goal is to play Stature early, followed by Darkhawk on turn 5, and Khonshu on turn 6 to resurrect a card with boosted power.

While Khonshu might not easily fit into traditional discard decks alongside Apocalypse due to his high cost, there's room for innovation. An alternative deck could include:

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

Here, Scorn is the only Series 5 card and can be swapped for other discard activators like Colleen Wing or X-23 for more energy ramp. The focus is on using Corvus Glaive on turn 3 to play Khonshu alongside other discard activators, enhancing Apocalypse and flooding the board. Whether this strategy will outperform traditional discard lists without Khonshu is yet to be determined, but it certainly offers exciting possibilities.
