Iron Patriot's Mechanics

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a unique 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."

This seemingly complex ability is straightforward. Iron Patriot adds a high-cost card to your hand, significantly reducing its cost if you control the lane after your next turn. This allows for powerful late-game plays. However, strategic placement is key to maximize his effect.

Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot both synergize with and counter Iron Patriot's strategy.

Best Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks, excelling in specific archetypes. Expect to see him in Wiccan-centric and Devil Dinosaur hand-generation strategies.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, U.S. Agent, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth. (Copy this list from Untapped)

This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The core strategy involves deploying Wiccan for significant energy generation, buffing Kitty Pryde with Galactus, and leveraging U.S. Agent for lane control. Iron Patriot's generated card adds to the late-game power surge, with Alioth as a powerful finisher. Substitute lower-cost cards for Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket & Groot if needed, maintaining curve consistency for Wiccan.

Devil Dinosaur Deck (Nostalgia Trip):

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

This deck harkens back to classic Devil Dinosaur strategies. Iron Patriot, combined with Victoria Hand (Spotlight Cache card), bolsters the hand generation. The late-game focuses on maximizing Devil Dinosaur's potential with Mystique and Agent Coulson. If hand size is insufficient for Devil Dinosaur, shift to a Wiccan-focused strategy, utilizing the generated cards and Mystique's copying ability on Victoria Hand. Sentinel's comeback is significant, creating powerful 2-cost 5-power cards (or 7 with Mystique) with Quinjet support.

Day One Value: Is Iron Patriot Worth the Season Pass?

Iron Patriot is a strong, versatile card, but not game-breaking. While skipping him isn't catastrophic given the availability of alternative 2-cost cards, he significantly enhances hand-generation decks. If you favor these strategies, the $9.99 USD Season Pass investment is worthwhile, considering the added bonus content.
