Best Victoria Hand Decks in Marvel Snap

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

Despite the ongoing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Marvel Snap continues its steady release of new cards. This update introduces Iron Patriot, a 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 functions similarly to Cerebro, but only for cards generated in your hand, not your deck (unlike Arishem). Key synergies exist with cards like Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to counter her effect. Her 2-cost nature allows 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 a cost reduction. Expect to see them frequently paired. One effective strategy involves reviving older Devil Dinosaur decks:

• Deck 1 (Devil Dinosaur Variant): Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. (Copyable from Untapped)

  Hydra Bob can be substituted with a comparable 1-cost card like Nebula. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial. Victoria Hand buffs generated Sentinels, transforming them into powerful 2-cost, 5-power cards (or 7-power with Mystique). Wiccan provides additional late-game power boosts. Devil Dinosaur offers a solid fallback win condition.

• Deck 2 (Arishem Variant): 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 utilizes the infamous Arishem, even with his nerf. While Victoria Hand doesn't directly impact cards added to the deck from Arishem, she significantly strengthens cards generated in your hand by other cards in the deck. This deck relies on consistent card generation to maintain board presence.

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 ensures her relevance in meta decks. However, she isn't a game-changing, must-have card. If you choose to skip her, it's unlikely you'll regret it. However, considering upcoming cards are comparatively weaker, investing in Victoria Hand might be a prudent use of resources.

Conclusion

Victoria Hand offers exciting new deck-building possibilities in Marvel Snap. While not essential, her strong synergy with existing and new cards makes her a worthwhile consideration for players looking to expand their strategic options. Marvel Snap remains available for play.
