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 2099s (also 4-cost, 2-power) have the ability: “Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power.” Crucially, this buff applies to both DoomBot 2099s and regular Doctor Doom.

The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn after summoning Doom 2099. Early placement of Doom 2099 maximizes DoomBot 2099 deployment, potentially generating significant power. Combining him with Magik can further extend the game and amplify his impact.

While potent, Doom 2099 has weaknesses. Random DoomBot 2099 placement can hinder strategic board control, and Enchantress (especially after its recent buff) completely negates the DoomBot 2099 power boosts.

Top-Tier Doom 2099 Decks Upon Release

Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement synergizes well with Spectrum Ongoing decks, reviving their meta relevance. Consider this example:

Ant-Man, Goose, Psylocke, Captain America, Cosmo, Electro, Doom 2099, Wong, Klaw, Doctor Doom, Spectrum, Onslaught. [Untapped Deck Link]

This budget-friendly deck (only Doom 2099 is a Series 5 card) offers strategic flexibility. Early Doom 2099 placement, facilitated by Psylocke or Electro, maximizes power spread. Alternatively, focus on Doctor Doom power distribution or Spectrum buffs if early Doom 2099 placement fails. Cosmo counters Enchantress, protecting key cards.

Another viable approach utilizes a Patriot-style strategy:

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum. [Untapped Deck Link]

This affordable deck (again, only Doom 2099 is Series 5) leverages early-game card placement (Mister Sinister, Brood) before deploying Doom 2099, followed by Blue Marvel and Doctor Doom or Spectrum. Zabu discounts 4-cost cards for early game flexibility. Strategic flexibility allows skipping DoomBot 2099 spawns to play stronger cards like Patriot and Iron Lad on the final turn. However, this deck is vulnerable to Enchantress, mitigated somewhat by the inclusion of Super Skrull (a likely common counter to Doom 2099 decks).

Is Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099 in Spotlight Caches) are relatively weak, Doom 2099 himself is a worthwhile acquisition. His power and deck-building affordability guarantee meta relevance. Prioritize using Collector's Tokens if available, but don't hesitate to invest in Doom 2099 this month. He's poised to become a legendary card in Marvel Snap unless significantly nerfed.
