Marvel Snap: Mastering the Iron Patriot Deck

Marvel Snap's Dark Avengers season introduces Iron Patriot, a powerful two-cost, three-power card for the Season Pass. This card adds a high-cost card to your hand, potentially with a significant cost reduction, making it a key component in card-generation strategies. This guide explores optimal deck building, effective gameplay, counters, and whether Iron Patriot is worth the investment.

Optimal Iron Patriot Deck

A strong Iron Patriot deck leverages the card-generation archetype, synergizing with Devil Dino and Victoria Hand. This core trio is supported by cards like Sentinel, Quinjet, Valentina, Mirage, Frigga, Mobius M. Mobius, Moon Girl, Agent Coulson, and Kate Bishop.

Card Cost Power
Iron Patriot 2 3
Devil Dino 5 3
Victoria Hand 2 3
Mobius M. Mobius 3 3
Sentinel 2 3
Quinjet 1 2
Moon Girl 4 5
Valentina 2 3
Agent Coulson 3 4
Mirage 2 2
Kate Bishop 2 3
Frigga 3 4

Consider replacing Frigga with Cosmo to mitigate opponent counter-strategies.

Deck Synergies:

  • Iron Patriot provides a discounted high-cost card, fueling the core strategy.
  • Valentina, Sentinel, Mirage, Agent Coulson, Moon Girl, and Kate Bishop generate cards, triggering Victoria Hand's ability.
  • Quinjet further reduces the cost of generated cards.
  • Frigga duplicates a card, enhancing Victoria Hand's effect and potentially doubling key abilities.
  • Mobius M. Mobius protects against cost manipulation by opponents.
  • Devil Dino serves as the win condition, utilizing the generated cards for significant power boosts.

Effective Iron Patriot Gameplay

Maximize Iron Patriot's potential with these strategies:

  1. Strategic Placement: Play Iron Patriot in a lane your opponent is unlikely to contest early. The cost reduction only activates if you win the location on the next turn. Consider combos like Ebony Maw + War Machine for lane control, but avoid over-committing resources.
  2. Hand Management: Carefully manage your hand size, especially if Devil Dino is your win condition. Only play card generators when you have space in your hand. Avoid using Agent Coulson with a full hand.
  3. Prioritize Discounted Duplicates: When using duplication effects like Moon Girl, play her after utilizing Iron Patriot's discount or other cost reductions to maximize the value of duplicates.

Countering Iron Patriot

Two main counter-strategies exist: cost manipulation and board clogging. Iron Patriot decks need energy and board space. Cards that disrupt these aspects are effective counters.

Strong counter options include US Agent, Cosmo, Iceman, Wave, Sandman, and Shadow King. The junk archetype (Green Goblin, Hobgoblin) also disrupts the opponent's strategy. Valkyrie can remove crucial buffs from Victoria Hand.

Is Iron Patriot Worth It?

Iron Patriot is a valuable addition, particularly for competitive players. However, it doesn't drastically change the meta. It's not essential enough to justify purchasing the premium pass; F2P players can effectively utilize the card-generation archetype with Victoria Hand as a core card instead.
