How Victoria Hand Works in Marvel Snap

Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ability: “Ongoing: 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. This means she won't boost cards like Arishem (despite past nerfs). Strong synergies exist with cards such as Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot.

In the initial weeks following her release, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to negate or steal her effect. As a 2-cost Ongoing card, strategically deploying her later in the match is advisable.

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 reduction. It's rare to see one without the other. This potent combination may even revitalize older Devil Dinosaur decks. Let's examine one such list:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur Click here to copy this list from Untapped.

Beyond Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand, this deck features Series 5 cards like Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, and Wiccan. Hydra Bob can be substituted with a comparable 1-cost card like Nebula, but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial.

As detailed in our Iron Patriot guide, Victoria Hand synergizes incredibly well with Sentinel. With a single Victoria Hand in play, generated Sentinels become 2-cost, 5-power cards. Adding Mystique doubles the effect, creating 7-power cards. Combining this with Quinjet allows for the deployment of 1-cost, 7-power Sentinels each turn.

Wiccan further enhances this strategy, potentially yielding 8 power on the final turn, allowing for the simultaneous play of Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand, and Sentinel. Without Wiccan, focusing on winning another lane with Devil Dinosaur (and potentially copying it with Mystique) becomes a viable alternative.

A second deck, explored by some content creators, incorporates discard-style strategies to buff Swarm and leverage Helicarrier. However, these highly optimized lists may not readily accommodate Victoria Hand. Instead, consider integrating her into the often-reviled Arishem deck:

Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Nick Fury, Legion, Doctor Doom, Alioth, Mockingbird, Arishem Click here to copy this list from Untapped.

This deck, despite Arishem's nerf (delayed energy gain until turn 3), remains a potent meta choice. 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 the bonus, sufficient board presence can still be achieved.

For players who enjoy hand-generation strategies, Victoria Hand is a valuable addition, particularly when paired with Iron Patriot. Her potent effect is likely to see recurring use in meta decks, but she isn't a collection-defining card. Skipping her won't necessarily hinder your progress.

However, considering the relatively weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing in Victoria Hand might be preferable to waiting.
