Despite the buzz around *Pokemon TCG Pocket*, the developers of *Marvel Snap* are not letting up on their new card releases. This time, alongside the season pass card, Iron Patriot, comes a card that synergizes perfectly with him: Victoria Hand. Here's an in-depth look at the best Victoria Hand decks in *Marvel Snap*.

How Victoria Hand Works in Marvel Snap
--------------------------------------
Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: “Ongoing: Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power.” Essentially, she operates similarly to Cerebro but specifically boosts cards generated in your hand. It's crucial to note that this boost does not extend to cards added to your deck, so it won't synergize with cards like the repeatedly nerfed Arishem.
Cards that work well with Victoria Hand include Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses in the first couple of weeks after her release, as they might attempt to steal or negate her effect. Fortunately, as a 2-cost Ongoing card, you can strategically play her later in the match.
Best Day One Victoria Hand Decks in Marvel Snap
-----------------------------------------------
Victoria Hand pairs exceptionally well with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates a 4, 5, or 6-cost card with a conditional -4 cost. The synergy between these two could potentially breathe new life into classic Devil Dinosaur decks. Here's an example of such a deck:
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Hydra Bob
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Iron Patriot
- Sentinel
- Victoria Hand
- Mystique
- Agent Coulson
- Shang-Chi
- Wiccan
- Devil Dinosaur

In this deck, aside from Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand, the two Series 5 cards are Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and Wiccan. While you can substitute Hydra Bob with a 1-cost alternative like Nebula, Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. Victoria Hand's synergy with Sentinel is particularly noteworthy; with her effect, generated Sentinels become 2-cost, 5-power cards. If you copy her effect with Mystique, they turn into 7-power cards. Add Quinjet into the mix, and you're playing 1-cost, 7-power Sentinels every turn.
Wiccan can further enhance this strategy, potentially allowing you to play an 8-power card on the final turn alongside Devil Dinosaur and a Sentinel. If Wiccan's effect doesn't trigger, you can aim to win another lane with Devil Dinosaur, possibly copying it with Mystique to spread power across two lanes. While not the most potent plan, it serves as a solid backup.
For a second deck, some content creators are exploring Discard-style lists with Swarm and Helicarrier, but these are too refined for Victoria Hand to fit seamlessly. Instead, she aligns well with Arishem, despite not boosting cards added to the deck. Here's a deck list:
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Sentinel
- Valentina
- Agent Coulson
- Doom 2099
- Galacta
- Daughter of Galactus
- Nick Fury
- Legion
- Doctor Doom
- Alioth
- Mockingbird
- Arishem

This deck leverages Arishem's ability, even after his nerf which delays extra energy gain until turn 3. Cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury generate cards that benefit from Victoria Hand's effect. While cards starting in your deck won't receive this boost, the random card generation keeps opponents guessing and maintains a strong board presence.
Is Victoria Hand Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?
------------------------------------------------------------------
If you're a fan of hand-generation decks, Victoria Hand is an excellent addition, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect is likely to appear in meta decks periodically, but she isn't essential to your collection. You might not miss out if you decide to pass on her.
However, considering the upcoming cards this month are less impactful than Victoria Hand, it might be wise to invest your resources in her rather than what's coming next.
And those are the best Victoria Hand decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you choose to include her in your collection or not, her synergy with existing cards offers exciting possibilities for deck-building enthusiasts.
