Victoria Hand Decks Triumph in Marvel Snap

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 month's additions include Iron Patriot (from the season pass) and Victoria Hand, a synergistic partner. Let's explore optimal Victoria Hand deck builds 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—crucially, not those generated within your deck (rendering it ineffective with cards like Arishem).

Strong synergies exist with cards like Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early in her release, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to counter her effect. Her 2-cost Ongoing nature allows for strategic late-game deployment.

Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)

Victoria Hand's best pairing is arguably with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates high-cost cards with a cost reduction. These two cards frequently appear together in decks. One notable combination revives older Devil Dinosaur strategies:

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

This deck utilizes Hydra Bob (substitutable with a 1-cost card like Nebula), while Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. Victoria Hand significantly boosts Sentinel, turning generated Sentinels into potent 2-cost, 5-power cards (or 7-power with Mystique). A Quinjet further amplifies this strategy. Wiccan provides late-game power boosts, potentially combining with Devil Dinosaur for powerful final-turn plays. If Wiccan fails to trigger, Devil Dinosaur and Mystique offer a fallback strategy for securing other lanes.

Another deck explores the potential synergy with Arishem, despite Victoria Hand's inability to enhance cards added directly to the deck:

• Arishem Deck: Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Nick Fury, Legion, Doctor Doom, Alioth, Mockingbird, Arishem. (Copyable from Untapped)

This deck leverages the card generation of Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury to create cards that Victoria Hand can enhance. While Arishem's nerf reduces early-game energy gain, the deck's random generation keeps opponents guessing.

Is Victoria Hand Worth the Investment?

Victoria Hand is a valuable addition for players enjoying hand-generation strategies, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect makes her a potentially meta-defining card, although not strictly essential for a complete collection. Considering the relatively weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing in Victoria Hand now might be a wise decision.
