Marvel SNAP: The Best Victoria Hand Deck

Mastering Victoria Hand in Marvel Snap: Two Deck Strategies and Counters

Marvel Snap's January 2025 Spotlight Cache introduces Victoria Hand, an Ongoing card that boosts the Power of cards generated in your hand. While often associated with card-generation decks, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide details two effective deck builds, highlighting synergies and counters.

The Best Deck for Victoria Hand: Card Generation

This deck leverages Victoria Hand's synergy with Devil Dinosaur and other card generators. The core strategy involves generating a large hand, then playing Devil Dinosaur for maximum impact.

Flex Options: Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Frigga can be replaced with Iron Patriot, Mystique, and Speed depending on your preference and the current meta.

Synergies:

• Victoria Hand: Boosts cards generated in your hand.
• Card Generators: Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl generate cards. Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards.
• Quinjet: Reduces the cost of generated cards.
• The Collector: Gains power with each generated card.
• Cosmo: Protects the Victoria Hand/Devil Dinosaur lane.
• Devil Dinosaur: The win condition, amplified by numerous generated cards.

Important Note: Some players report Victoria Hand potentially buffing enemy-generated cards or cards that change locations. This may be a bug or an unclarified mechanic. Monitor this aspect of her functionality.

How to Play the Card Generation Deck Effectively:

1. Energy Management: Balance card generation with energy expenditure. A full hand maximizes Devil Dinosaur's power, but you need energy for generation and playing Victoria Hand.
2. Strategic Joker Cards: Use randomly generated cards to mislead opponents.
3. Ongoing Lane Protection: Protect Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur (ideally played in the same lane) with Cosmo to counter tech cards like Enchantress.

Alternative Deck: Discard

Victoria Hand also finds a home in refined discard decks. This build utilizes her buffing capabilities alongside powerful discard synergies.

Countering Victoria Hand:

• Super Skrull: A strong counter, especially effective against both Victoria Hand and Doctor Doom 2099 decks.
• Shadow King: Removes Victoria Hand's buffs from a single lane.
• Enchantress: Negates all Ongoing effects, including Victoria Hand's.
• Valkyrie: Disrupts power distribution by moving cards to different lanes.

Is Victoria Hand Worth It?

Yes, Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Her consistent buffing effect, combined with her adaptability to multiple archetypes (card generation and discard), makes her a strong addition to any collection. While her effectiveness depends somewhat on RNG, the potential payoff is significant.
