Top Khonshu Decks for Marvel Snap Revealed

If you're a fan of strategic card games, you've likely already heard about Khonshu joining Marvel Snap. This lunar deity isn’t just a powerful addition to your deck; he’s a game-changer for discard-focused strategies. His mechanics are intricate, making him one of the most complex cards ever introduced by Second Dinner. Let’s break down how Khonshu operates.

Khonshu starts as a 6-cost, 5-power card with an ability that says: When discarded, returns in its next phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 5.

As Khonshu progresses through phases, he evolves. His 'next phase' version costs 6 and has 8 power, with an ability that reads: When discarded, returns in its final phase. On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 8.

Finally, his 'final phase' is a 6-cost, 12-power card with an ability that simply states: On Reveal: Resurrect a card you discarded to another location with its Power set to 12.

Each time Khonshu is discarded, he upgrades himself, making his On Reveal effect increasingly stronger. This mechanic mirrors that of Apocalypse but with a twist—his ability to revive cards adds a layer of versatility.

Typically, players aim to discard Khonshu one or two times before playing him on the final turn to maximize his potential. Reviving high-powered cards like Iron Man or Gorr the God Butcher becomes easier with his buffs.

Despite his limitations—such as not being able to revive specific cards—he shines in scenarios where a 12-power final-phase Khonshu revives a low-cost card like Meek, securing a victory.

It may take some time for players to fully explore Khonshu’s potential, but initial experiments suggest he fits well in non-traditional discard decks, particularly ones featuring Darkhawk and Stature. Consider the following list:

This deck relies heavily on Fenris Wolf due to its ability to resurrect opponents’ discarded cards, creating strong win conditions. Playstyles involve filling your opponent’s deck with rocks to build a massive Darkhawk while discarding Khonshu strategically. Cards like Moon Knight and Blade ensure Khonshu returns to your hand multiple times.

Another promising deck includes Corvus Glaive for energy ramp:
