Marvel SNAP's initial Spotlight Cache card for 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing character that enhances cards generated within your hand. While often categorized as a card-generation archetype card, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide presents two robust Victoria Hand decks, one for each archetype, to help you integrate her into the current SNAP metagame.

Victoria Hand (2–3)

Series: Five (Ultra Rare)

Victoria Hand Deck Synergies

• Victoria Hand boosts cards added to your hand by card generators.
• Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl are your card generators. (Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards for added buffs or disruption.)
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards, enabling you to play more.
• The Collector's power increases with each generated card.
• Cosmo serves as a tech card, protecting Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand from enemy attacks.
• Devil Dinosaur is your primary win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or when you have numerous generated cards.

Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or cards that change locations. Whether this is a bug or intended functionality remains unclear. If not a bug, the card text requires clarification. Regardless, it's a factor to consider when using Victoria Hand decks.

Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay

When playing a Victoria Hand deck, remember:

1. Balance card generation and energy management: Aim for a full hand for Devil Dinosaur's optimal growth, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria Hand's effect. Efficient energy use is crucial; sometimes skipping turns to maintain a full hand is more important than filling the board.
2. Use joker cards strategically: Victoria Hand decks generate many random cards. Use these strategically to mislead your opponent and maintain uncertainty about your next move.
3. Protect your Ongoing lane: Opponents will likely target your Victoria Hand lane with tech cards like Enchantress. Counter this by playing Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand in the same lane (creating an Ongoing setup) and protecting them with Cosmo.

Alternative Discard Deck for Victoria Hand

Victoria Hand is also proving effective in refined discard decks. For a strong discard deck, pair Victoria Hand with: Helicarrier, MODOK, Morbius, Scorn, Blade, Apocalypse, Swarm, Corvus Glaive, Colleen Wing, Lady Sif, and The Collector.

Countering Victoria Hand

Super Skrull is an effective counter to Victoria Hand. Many players use Doctor Doom 2099 decks, which Skrull also counters, making him a strong tech card regardless of the opponent's deck.

Other counters include Shadow King (removes Victoria Hand's buffs in one lane) and Enchantress (removes all Ongoing effects). Valkyrie can also disrupt power distribution by being played in a critical enemy lane.

Is Victoria Hand Worth It?

Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Whether acquired through the Spotlight Cache or purchased with Tokens, she offers a strong return on investment. While somewhat reliant on randomness, her permanent buffs allow for consistent deck building. Her effectiveness in multiple archetypes (card-generation and discard) makes her a highly desirable card for many players.
