How Victoria Hand Works in Marvel Snap
Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power." Her ability is straightforward, functioning similarly to a Cerebro for cards generated in your hand. However, it's important to note that this effect does not extend to cards generated in your deck, making it incompatible with cards like the repeatedly nerfed Arishem.
Cards that synergize well with Victoria Hand include Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. In the first few weeks after her release, be cautious of Rogues and Enchantresses who might attempt to steal or negate her effect. As a 2-cost Ongoing card, you can strategically wait until later in the match to play her.

Victoria Hand synergizes exceptionally well with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates a 4, 5, or 6-cost card with a conditional -4 cost. They are likely to be seen together frequently and may even breathe new life into old Devil Dinosaur decks. Here's a deck list to consider:
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Hydra Bob
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Iron Patriot
- Sentinel
- Victoria Hand
- Mystique
- Agent Coulson
- Shang-Chi
- Wiccan
- Devil Dinosaur

In this deck, the two Series 5 cards, aside from Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand, are Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, and Wiccan. You can replace Hydra Bob with a suitable 1-cost alternative like Nebula, but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential for this strategy.
As detailed in our Iron Patriot guide, Victoria Hand has excellent synergy with Sentinel. With Victoria Hand's effect, generated Sentinels become 2-cost, 5-power cards. If you duplicate her effect with Mystique, they become 7-power cards. Adding a Quinjet into the mix allows you to play 1-cost, 7-power Sentinels each turn.
Wiccan can amplify this strategy if his effect triggers, potentially allowing you to play an 8-power card on the final turn, such as a Devil Dinosaur, a Victoria Hand, and a Sentinel.
If Wiccan's effect doesn't trigger, you can aim to win another lane with Devil Dinosaur and copy it with Mystique to distribute power across two lanes. While not the most powerful strategy, it serves as a viable backup plan.

For a second deck option, some content creators are experimenting with Discard-style lists that focus on buffing Swarm and leveraging Helicarrier. However, these lists are highly optimized, making it challenging to incorporate Victoria Hand. Instead, Victoria Hand pairs well with the often-dreaded Arishem, even though her effect doesn't apply to cards added to the deck. Here's the list:
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Sentinel
- Valentina
- Agent Coulson
- Doom 2099
- Galacta
- Daughter of Galactus
- Nick Fury
- Legion
- Doctor Doom
- Alioth
- Mockingbird
- Arishem

If you've played against or with Arishem before, you're familiar with how this deck operates. Despite his nerf, which delays extra energy until turn 3, this deck remains highly effective. Cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury generate cards that benefit from Victoria Hand's ability. While cards starting in your deck don't receive this boost, you'll still have ample opportunities to build a strong board presence. This deck leverages random generation to keep your opponents guessing.

If you enjoy decks focused on generating cards in hand, Victoria Hand is an excellent addition, especially given her synergy with the season pass card, Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect is likely to appear in various meta decks, though she isn't a must-have card that will define your collection. Skipping her won't leave you with regrets in the future.
However, considering the weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing your resources in Victoria Hand might be a smarter move than waiting for what's next.
