Doctor Doom 2099's Mechanics
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." DoomBot 2099 (also 4-cost, 2-power) provides 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 consistently playing one card per turn to maximize DoomBot 2099 deployment. Early deployment of Doctor Doom 2099, or extending the game via cards like Magik, significantly amplifies his power. Consistently played, he can easily reach 17 power, with even greater potential.
However, Doctor Doom 2099 has weaknesses. DoomBot 2099s random placement can hinder strategy, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.
Top Doctor Doom 2099 Decks
Doctor Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement revitalizes Spectrum-based Ongoing decks. Consider these options:
Deck 1: Spectrum-Focused Ongoing
- Ant-Man
- Goose
- Psylocke
- Captain America
- Cosmo
- Electro
- Doom 2099
- Wong
- Klaw
- Doctor Doom
- Spectrum
- Onslaught
This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers flexibility. Early Doom 2099 deployment via Psylocke or Electro is ideal. Psylocke allows for powerful Wong/Klaw/Doctor Doom combos, while Electro enables powerful late-game plays with Onslaught and Spectrum. Cosmo protects against Enchantress.
Deck 2: Patriot-Style Synergies
- Ant-Man
- Zabu
- Dazzler
- Mister Sinister
- Patriot
- Brood
- Doom 2099
- Super Skrull
- Iron Lad
- Blue Marvel
- Doctor Doom
- Spectrum
Another affordable option (only Doom 2099 is Series 5), this deck utilizes Patriot's power scaling. Early game focuses on Mister Sinister and Brood, transitioning to Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, and Doctor Doom. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early game flexibility. Super Skrull counters other Doom 2099 decks, but the deck remains vulnerable to Enchantress. Note that you can strategically skip DoomBot 2099 spawns to accommodate powerful late-game plays.
Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?
While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doctor Doom 2099 is a valuable addition. His power and deck-building versatility make him a meta staple. Prioritize acquiring him using Collector's Tokens if possible. He's predicted to be one of Marvel Snap's most impactful cards, barring nerfs.
