Iron Patriot Deck Synergies

• Iron Patriot provides discounted high-cost cards, driving the strategy.
• Valentina, Sentinel, Mirage, Agent Coulson, Moon Girl, and Kate Bishop generate cards, triggering Victoria Hand's ability.
• Quinjet further discounts generated cards for easier play.
• Frigga duplicates a card, activating Victoria's effect and potentially doubling key abilities like Iron Patriot's.
• Mobius M. Mobius protects against cost manipulation.
• Devil Dino serves as the win condition, leveraging hand size for powerful buffs.

How to Play Iron Patriot Effectively

Maximize Iron Patriot's potential with these tips:

1. Strategic Placement: Play Iron Patriot in a location your opponent is unlikely to contest early. The cost reduction only activates if you win the location next turn. Combos like Ebony Maw + War Machine can secure the location, but risk overspending.
2. Hand Management: If Devil Dino is your win condition, carefully manage your hand size. Use card generators only when you have room. Avoid Agent Coulson with a full hand.
3. Prioritize Discounted Duplicates: Use duplication effects like Moon Girl after benefiting from Iron Patriot's discount or other cost reductions for maximum value.

How to Counter Iron Patriot

Counter Iron Patriot decks by disrupting cost manipulation and hand/board space. Iron Patriot players need energy and space to succeed. Cards interfering with these aspects are effective counters.

Effective counters include U.S. Agent, Cosmo, Iceman, Wave, Sandman, and Shadow King. Junk archetype cards like Green Goblin and Hobgoblin also disrupt the strategy. Valkyrie can remove critical buffs from Victoria Hand.

Is Iron Patriot Worth It?

Iron Patriot isn't meta-defining like Arishem, but a valuable addition for competitive players. However, it doesn't justify purchasing the premium pass. F2P players can focus on Victoria Hand instead, achieving similar card generation without Iron Patriot.
