Victoria Hand Leads Marvel Snap Decks to Victory

Marvel Snap's Victoria Hand: Deck Strategies and Value Assessment

Despite the ongoing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Marvel Snap continues its steady stream of new cards. This latest release, Victoria Hand, synergizes particularly well with the season pass card, Iron Patriot. Let's explore the best Victoria Hand decks currently available in Marvel Snap.

Victoria Hand's Mechanics

Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ongoing ability: “Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power.” This straightforward ability functions similarly to Cerebro, but only for cards generated in your hand, not your deck. This is crucial, as it means she doesn't work with cards like Arishem.

Optimal synergy exists with cards like Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Players should be aware of potential counter-strategies involving Rogues and Enchantress in the early game; however, as a 2-cost Ongoing card, her deployment can be strategically timed.

Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)

Victoria Hand's natural partner is the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates a high-cost card with a reduced cost. These two cards often appear together in decks. One strong example is a revived Devil Dinosaur strategy:

• Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur (Copy this list from Untapped)

This deck features Hydra Bob (substitutable with a 1-cost card like Nebula), but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. The synergy with Sentinel is particularly potent; a single Victoria Hand boosts generated Sentinels to 5 power at 2 cost, and a Mystique copy makes them 7-power cards. A Quinjet further amplifies this effect. Wiccan provides a powerful late-game push, potentially combining with Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand, and a Sentinel. If Wiccan isn't played, focusing on another lane with Devil Dinosaur (and potentially a Mystique copy) offers a backup strategy.

Another deck utilizes the often-dreaded Arishem, even though Victoria Hand doesn't directly affect cards added to the deck:

• Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Nick Fury, Legion, Doctor Doom, Alioth, Mockingbird, Arishem (Copy this list from Untapped)

This deck, familiar to most players, leverages card generation from Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury. While the deck-generated cards don't receive the Victoria Hand buff, the overall card generation creates a strong board presence, maintaining Arishem's effectiveness despite its nerf.

Is Victoria Hand Worth the Investment?

Victoria Hand is a valuable addition for players who enjoy hand-generation strategies, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect makes her a viable card for meta decks, but she isn't a game-changer that necessitates immediate acquisition. However, considering the relatively weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing resources in Victoria Hand might be preferable.

In conclusion, Victoria Hand offers strong potential within specific deck archetypes. Whether or not she's worth adding to your collection depends on your playstyle and current collection.
