Marvel Snap's Victoria Hand: Deck Strategies and Spotlight Cache Value
Despite the ongoing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Marvel Snap continues its steady stream of new cards. This month brings Iron Patriot, the season pass card, and its synergistic partner, Victoria Hand. This guide explores the best Victoria Hand decks currently available in Marvel Snap.
Understanding 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 means cards like Arishem won't benefit from her effect.
Optimal synergies exist with cards such as Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and the newly released Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses, which can disrupt her effect. Her 2-cost and "Ongoing" nature allows strategic late-game deployment.
Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)
Victoria Hand's strongest synergy is undoubtedly with Iron Patriot, the season pass card. Expect to see these two cards frequently paired. One such combination revives the Devil Dinosaur archetype:
- 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 for this deck's strategy. With Victoria Hand, generated Sentinels become potent 2-cost, 5-power cards; Mystique further amplifies this to 7 power. Wiccan provides a late-game power boost, potentially combining with Devil Dinosaur for a decisive victory. If Wiccan's effect isn't triggered, Devil Dinosaur provides a fallback plan in another lane.
Another deck utilizes the often-dreaded Arishem, even though Victoria Hand doesn't directly enhance cards added to the deck from it:
- 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 leverages the chaos of Arishem's card generation, enhanced by Victoria Hand's buff to cards created in your hand. While Arishem's nerf impacts energy gain, this list remains competitive.
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 potentially meta-defining card, but not a must-have. However, considering the relatively weaker cards anticipated later this month, investing in Victoria Hand now might be a worthwhile strategy.
