Sam Wilson Captain America's Mechanics

Sam Wilson Captain America is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ability: "Game Start: Add Cap's Shield to a random location. Ongoing: You can move Cap's Shield."

Cap's Shield (1-cost, 1-power) has the ability: "Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location."

Crucially, the buff applies to both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers Captain America versions, creating exponential power scaling. Sam Wilson can rapidly reach 7 power. This card synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move cards, and Ongoing decks, even evading Killmonger. However, Red Guardian and Shadow King pose significant counter threats.

Sam Wilson, alongside Hawkeye Kate Bishop, competes for the valuable 2-cost slot. He excels in Wiccan decks and Ongoing Zoo builds.

Wiccan Deck:

• Quicksilver
• Fenris Wolf
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Red Guardian
• Rocket Raccoon & Groot
• Gladiator
• Shang-Chi
• Enchantress
• Wiccan
• Alioth

This deck is Series 5 heavy (Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Wiccan, Alioth). Lacking these cards necessitates substitutions, potentially using Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or Galactus' Daughter for Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon & Groot. Strategic priority management is key, leveraging Enchantress/Shang-Chi or Alioth for optimal counter-play. Sam Wilson provides crucial early-game scaling and lane control.

Spectrum Zoo Deck:

• Ant-Man
• Squirrel Girl
• Dazzler
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Sam Wilson Captain America
• Marvel Boy
• Captain America
• Caiera
• Shanna the She-Devil
• Kazar
• Blue Marvel
• Spectrum

Series 5 cards include Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Marvel Boy and Caiera are essential; Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird are viable alternatives. While Zoo decks have slightly fallen from meta dominance, they remain potent. Marvel Boy with Squirrel Girl secures wins, while Caiera counters Killmonger-heavy decks. Sam Wilson enhances flexibility, and Cap's Shield benefits greatly from Kazar and Blue Marvel buffs, further amplified by Spectrum.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

For Zoo enthusiasts, Sam Wilson justifies the $9.99 season pass cost. However, if you prefer other deck archetypes, many alternative 2-cost cards (Jeff, Iron Patriot, Hawkeye Kate Bishop) can effectively replace him in meta decks. Consider skipping the purchase if you're budget-conscious or don't utilize Zoo strategies.
