Marvel Snap's Top Victoria Hand Decks Redefined

Marvel Snap's Victoria Hand: Deck Strategies and Spotlight Cache Value

Despite the ongoing popularity of Pokémon TCG Pocket, Marvel Snap continues to deliver new cards at a rapid pace. This month's season pass card, Iron Patriot, arrives alongside Victoria Hand, a synergistic card with significant deck-building potential. This guide explores optimal Victoria Hand decks and assesses her value.

Understanding Victoria Hand

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 (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 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 a reduced cost. Expect to see them frequently paired. This combination revitalizes older Devil Dinosaur decks, such as this example:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. (Untapped list available)

This deck features Hydra Bob (substitutable with a 1-cost card like Nebula), but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. The synergy with Sentinel is particularly potent: Victoria Hand boosts generated Sentinels to 5-power (7 with Mystique), creating powerful plays with Quinjet. Wiccan offers late-game power boosts. If Wiccan's effect isn't triggered, a fallback strategy involves using Devil Dinosaur and Mystique in other lanes.

A second deck strategy, favored by some players, integrates Victoria Hand into Arishem decks, even though she doesn't directly impact cards added from the deck itself:

Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Nick Fury, Legion, Doctor Doom, Alioth, Mockingbird, Arishem. (Untapped list available)

This list utilizes the card generation capabilities of Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury, leveraging Victoria Hand's buff. While the deck-generated cards aren't boosted, the inherent power of Arishem and the other cards still provides a strong 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 will likely see consistent use in meta decks, but she isn't a must-have card. Skipping her won't significantly hinder collection progress. However, given the relatively weaker cards releasing later this month, investing resources in Victoria Hand now might be a worthwhile strategy.

In summary, Victoria Hand offers exciting deck-building possibilities in Marvel Snap. Whether she's worth your Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector's Tokens depends on your existing collection and play style. But her synergy with Iron Patriot and her potential for high-impact plays make her a strong contender.
