Khonshu Brings Discard Revolution to Marvel Snap with Phased Resurrect Mechanic||||
Discard strategy enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Khonshu, the Moon God, joins Marvel Snap with groundbreaking mechanics for discard decks. This complex new card from Second Dinner introduces multi-phase resurrection abilities that demand careful study.
The 6-Cost/5-Power deity features a unique progression system: When discarded, it returns in its next phase as a 6/8 unit that revives other discarded cards with 8 Power. A second discard transforms it into its final 6/12 version, capable of resurrecting allies with 12 Power.
Similar to Apocalypse but with additional utility, Khonshu shines when played after one or two discards. Optimal targets for resurrection include power-sensitive cards like Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher.
Initial testing suggests Khonshu may fit better in hybrid discard lists rather than traditional builds. One promising framework combines Darkhawk disruption with targeted discard:
This deck leverages rock generation for Darkhawk while using multiple discard triggers to upgrade Khonshu. Strategic timing is crucial – you'll want Moon Knight to target Khonshu rather than key disruption pieces.
Energy ramp via Corvus Glaive enables an Apocalypse-Khonshu hybrid approach:
This build requires turn 3 Corvus Glaive activation to support both 6-Cost finishers. While unproven against conventional discard, it creates explosive potential when executed properly.
Khonshu's distinctive mechanics and meta potential make him a worthy addition for players who enjoy complex discard strategies. Those with available resources should strongly consider acquiring him through Spotlight Caches or Collector's Tokens, particularly if hybrid discard archetypes appeal to them.
