How Iron Patriot Works in Marvel Snap

Iron Patriot is a versatile 2-cost, 3-power card with the 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.” Despite the lengthy text, Iron Patriot's effect is straightforward. If you have space in your hand, he adds a high-cost card, and if you're leading in his lane the next turn, that card's cost is reduced significantly—turning a 4-cost card into a 0-cost, a 5-cost into a 1-cost, and a 6-cost into a 2-cost. This mechanic can be game-changing, especially with powerful pulls like Doctor Doom. However, to maximize his potential, you need to commit to his lane. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon and Groot can either synergize or counter Iron Patriot effectively.

Iron Patriot, much like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, is a flexible 2-cost card that can enhance various decks, particularly excelling in certain compositions. He's expected to shine in Wiccan-style and nostalgic Devil Dinosaur hand-generation decks. Let's explore the Wiccan-style deck first:

• Kitty Pryde
• Zabu
• Hydra Bob
• Psylocke
• Iron Patriot
• US Agent
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Copycat
• Galacta
• Daughter of Galactus
• Wiccan
• Legion
• Alioth

If you're missing Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon and Groot, substitute them with similarly costed, high-power cards to keep your curve smooth for Wiccan. Wiccan and Alioth are crucial in this setup. This deck holds its ground well, especially against the prevalent Doom 2099 meta. The strategy revolves around leveraging Wiccan for energy and then buffing Kitty Pryde with Galacta. US Agent can clinch lanes, but be wary of placing high-cost cards in his lane. To fully exploit Iron Patriot, pair him with Hydra Bob or Rocket Raccoon and Groot in his lane. Copycat offers a solid 5-power alternative. Consider placing Iron Patriot in the far-right unrevealed lane to thwart opponent moves. With this setup, you'll have 7 energy on turn 5 and 8 on turn 6, enabling a powerful final turn with Alioth and strategic plays with US Agent and Rocket Raccoon and Groot.

The second deck revisits the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced with this week's Spotlight Cache card, Victoria Hand:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sentinel
• Victoria Hand
• Mystique
• Agent Coulson
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Devil Dinosaur

Aside from Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand, this deck requires Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, and Wiccan. You can replace Hydra Bob with a 1-cost alternative like Nebula, but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential. If you recall the old days of *Marvel Snap*, Devil Dinosaur on turn 5 followed by Mystique and Agent Coulson on turn 6 was a strong finish. However, hand size can sometimes limit Devil Dinosaur's effectiveness. With Wiccan, you can unload random cards on the final turn and copy Victoria Hand with Mystique. Sentinel synergizes well with Victoria Hand, turning subsequent Sentinels into 2-cost, 5-power cards, or even 7-power with Mystique. Combine this with Quinjet for 1-cost, 7-power cards, plus the cards generated by Iron Patriot and Agent Coulson.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot stands out as a solid card, less niche than the nerfed Surtur, making him a good but not essential addition. You might feel a slight regret if you skip him, but there are plenty of other 2-cost options available. However, if you’re keen on hand-generation decks, spending $9.99 USD on the *Marvel Snap* season pass to acquire Iron Patriot and its additional rewards is a worthwhile investment.

And those are the best Iron Patriot decks in *Marvel Snap*. Enjoy assembling your Dark Avengers and dominating the battlefield!
