Marvel Snap's Best Victoria Hand Decks Emerge

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

Despite the ongoing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Marvel Snap continues to expand its card roster. This update introduces Iron Patriot, the season pass card, and its synergistic partner, Victoria Hand. This guide explores optimal Victoria Hand decks and assesses her value.

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 effect functions similarly to Cerebro, but only for cards generated in your hand, not your deck. This is crucial, as it means she doesn't synergize with cards like Arishem. Key synergistic cards include Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses that might disrupt her effect; her 2-cost Ongoing nature allows for strategic late-game deployment.

Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)

Victoria Hand's strongest synergy is with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates high-cost cards with reduced cost. These two cards often appear together in decks. One such deck revives the Devil Dinosaur archetype:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sentinel
• Victoria Hand
• Mystique
• Agent Coulson
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Devil Dinosaur

This deck utilizes Hydra Bob (swappable for a 1-cost alternative like Nebula), Kate Bishop, and Wiccan (essential). Victoria Hand significantly boosts Sentinel, turning generated Sentinels into powerful 2-cost, 5-power cards, or even 7-power cards with Mystique's duplication. Quinjet further amplifies this effect. Wiccan provides additional late-game power, potentially enabling a powerful final turn with Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand, and Sentinel. Without Wiccan, a fallback strategy involves using Devil Dinosaur and Mystique in different lanes.

Another deck incorporates Arishem, despite the lack of synergy with cards added directly to the deck:

• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Sentinel
• Valentina
• Agent Coulson
• Doom 2099
• Galactus
• Daughter of Galactus
• Nick Fury
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Alioth
• Mockingbird
• Arishem

(Copyable list available from Untapped)

This deck leverages Arishem's random generation, even post-nerf, and utilizes Victoria Hand to buff cards generated by Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury.

Victoria Hand: Spotlight Cache or Collector's Tokens?

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 potentially meta-defining card, though not entirely essential for collection completion. However, considering the relatively weaker cards scheduled for release later in the month, investing resources in Victoria Hand might be more advantageous.

Conclusion

Victoria Hand offers compelling deck-building opportunities in Marvel Snap, particularly when combined with Iron Patriot. While not a must-have, her strong effect and potential for meta impact make her a worthwhile consideration for resource allocation. Marvel Snap is available now.
