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 2099s (also 4-cost, 2-power) provide an ongoing buff: "Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power." This synergy extends to regular Doctor Doom cards, making them even stronger.

The strategy revolves around playing exactly one card per turn after summoning Doom 2099. Perfect execution yields a powerful 17-power card (potentially more with early plays or Magik). However, there are drawbacks. DoomBot 2099 placement is random, potentially hindering your strategy, and Enchantress completely negates their power boost.

Best Doctor Doom 2099 Decks

Doctor Doom 2099's one-card-per-turn requirement makes Spectrum-style Ongoing decks highly effective. Consider these options:

Deck 1: Spectrum 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. Aim for an early Doom 2099 using Psylocke or Electro, maximizing power distribution with Wong, Klaw, and Doctor Doom. Alternatively, focus on spreading power with Doctor Doom or Spectrum if an early Doom 2099 isn't possible. Cosmo protects against Enchantress.

Deck 2: Patriot-Style

Ant-Man, Zabu, Dazzler, Mister Sinister, Patriot, Brood, Doom 2099, Super Skrull, Iron Lad, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, Spectrum

Another affordable deck (only Doom 2099 is Series 5). This deck employs the typical Patriot strategy, using early-game cards like Mister Sinister and Brood before unleashing Doom 2099, Blue Marvel, Doctor Doom, or Spectrum. Zabu provides cost reduction for early plays if Patriot isn't available. Flexibility allows for skipping DoomBot 2099 spawns to play stronger cards on the final turn. However, this deck is highly vulnerable to Enchantress; Super Skrull helps counter other Doom 2099 decks.

Is Doctor Doom 2099 Worth the Investment?

While Daken and Miek (released alongside Doom 2099) are relatively weak, Doctor Doom 2099 is a worthwhile acquisition. His power and deck-building affordability make him a likely meta staple. Use Collector's Tokens if possible, but don't miss out – he's predicted to be one of Marvel Snap's best cards.
