Victoria Hand Revamps 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 robust card releases. This guide focuses on Victoria Hand, a new card released alongside the season pass card, Iron Patriot. We'll explore optimal Victoria Hand deck builds and assess her overall 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 ability acts like a Cerebro effect, but only for cards generated in your hand, not your deck. This is crucial, as it means cards like Arishem are unaffected. Synergistic cards include Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to disrupt her effect. Her 2-cost and Ongoing nature allow for strategic late-game deployment.

Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)

Victoria Hand pairs exceptionally well with Iron Patriot, the season pass card that generates a high-cost card with a cost reduction. Expect to see them used together frequently. One potential synergy is with Devil Dinosaur decks:

• 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)

Hydra Bob can be substituted with a comparable 1-cost card like Nebula. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. This deck leverages Victoria Hand's synergy with Sentinel, creating powerful 5-power (or 7 with Mystique) 2-cost Sentinels. Wiccan offers additional late-game power boosts. Devil Dinosaur provides a fallback plan for lane control.

Another deck utilizes Arishem, despite the card generation not directly benefiting from Victoria Hand:

• 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 capitalizes on the card generation from Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, and others, enhancing their power with Victoria Hand. While Arishem's generated cards aren't buffed, the deck remains potent due to its inherent random generation strategy.

Victoria Hand: Spotlight Cache or Collector's Tokens Worth?

Victoria Hand is a valuable addition for players enjoying hand-generation decks, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect will likely see meta appearances. However, she isn't a game-changing, must-have card. Skipping her won't be detrimental. That being said, considering the relatively weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing resources in Victoria Hand might be preferable.

Conclusion

Victoria Hand offers exciting possibilities within Marvel Snap. Her synergy with Iron Patriot and other card generation strategies makes her a worthwhile addition for many players, but not a mandatory acquisition. The choice ultimately depends on your deck-building preferences and resource management.
