How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

Sam Wilson Captain America is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a game-starting ability: deploying "Cap's Shield" to a random location. The ongoing effect allows you to reposition this shield.

Cap's Shield (1-cost, 1-power) is indestructible and grants +2 power to any Captain America card in its location. This synergy creates exponential power scaling, potentially boosting Sam Wilson to 7 power rapidly.

Sam Wilson's versatility is impressive. He synergizes with 1-cost cards, movement cards, and Ongoing decks, even evading Killmonger's effects. However, be aware of counters like Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can neutralize his buffs.

Sam Wilson, alongside Hawkeye Kate Bishop, adds strength to the already competitive 2-cost card slot. He excels in Wiccan decks and Ongoing Zoo builds.

Wiccan Deck:

• Quicksilver
• Fenris Wolf
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Red Guardian
• Rocket Raccoon & Groot
• Gladiator
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Wiccan
• Alioth

This deck is Series 5 heavy (Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Wiccan, Alioth). Lacking these cards? Substitute Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon & Groot with 3-cost options like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or even Galactus. This deck requires strategic priority management to maximize Enchantress, Shang-Chi, and Alioth's impact. Sam Wilson provides a strong 2-cost option and lane control.

Spectrum Zoo Deck:

• Ant-Man
• Squirrel Girl
• Dazzler
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Marvel Boy
• Captain America (Steve Rogers)
• Caiera
• Shanna the She-Devil
• Kazar
• Blue Marvel
• Spectrum

Series 5 cards here are Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Marvel Boy and Caiera are crucial; consider Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, or Mockingbird as substitutes. While Zoo decks have slightly fallen from peak meta dominance, they remain viable. Marvel Boy and Squirrel Girl can win games, and Caiera counters Killmonger-heavy decks. Sam Wilson adds flexibility and significant power boosts from Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Spectrum.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

For Zoo enthusiasts, Sam Wilson is a worthwhile $9.99 investment. However, if your playstyle doesn't favor Zoo decks, many alternative 2-cost cards (Jeff, Iron Patriot, Hawkeye Kate Bishop) can effectively replace him in other meta decks. Consider your existing collection and preferred strategies before committing.
