How Iron Patriot Functions in Marvel Snap

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ability: "On Reveal: Add a random 4, 5, or 6-Cost card to your hand. If you're winning here after the next turn, give it -4 Cost."

While the description is lengthy, Iron Patriot's effect is simple. He adds a high-cost card to your hand (if space allows). If you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is reduced by 4. This makes a 4-cost card free, a 5-cost card cost 1, and a 6-cost card cost 2.

A powerful card like Doctor Doom could lead to victory, but requires commitment to Iron Patriot's location. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rocket Raccoon & Groot synergize with, and counter, Iron Patriot.

Top Iron Patriot Decks on Day One

Similar to Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot is a versatile 2-cost card suitable for various decks, excelling in specific strategies. Expect to see him in Wiccan-style decks and budget Devil Dinosaur hand-generation decks. Let's examine a Wiccan-focused deck:

Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, U.S. Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth. [Untapped Deck Link Here]

If you lack Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot, substitute with similarly costed high-power cards to maintain your curve for Wiccan. Wiccan and Alioth (Series 5 cards) are essential.

This deck counters Doom 2099 effectively. The strategy involves playing Wiccan to generate energy for the final turns, followed by Galactus to boost Kitty Pryde. U.S. Agent can win lanes, but avoid placing high-cost cards in his lane.

To maximize Iron Patriot, play Hydra Bob or Rocket Raccoon & Groot in his lane. Copycat is a strong alternative. Consider placing him in the unrevealed far-right lane to prevent opponent interference.

With optimal play, you'll have 7 energy on turn 5 and 8 on turn 6, enabling a powerful final turn with Alioth, while denying opponent plays with U.S. Agent and Rocket Raccoon & Groot.

The second deck utilizes the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. [Untapped Deck Link Here]

Besides Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, and Wiccan are the crucial Series 5 cards. Nebula can replace Hydra Bob. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential.

This deck recalls the classic Devil Dinosaur/Mystique/Agent Coulson endgame. However, hand size might limit Devil Dinosaur's effectiveness. In such cases, use the Wiccan strategy, deploying generated cards and copying Victoria Hand with Mystique.

Sentinel returns, with Victoria Hand making subsequent Sentinels 2-cost 5-power cards (or 7 with Mystique). Quinjet adds further cost reduction, creating numerous cheap high-power cards alongside Iron Patriot and Agent Coulson.

Is the Season Pass Worth It for Iron Patriot?

Iron Patriot is a valuable card, less niche than nerfed cards like Surtur, making it a worthwhile addition, though not game-changing. Many 2-cost alternatives exist. However, if you enjoy hand-generation strategies, the $9.99 USD price for Iron Patriot and the Season Pass benefits is justified.
