Mastering Marvel Snap's Victoria Hand: Two Powerful Deck Strategies
Marvel Snap's Victoria Hand, a 2-3 cost Ongoing card that boosts cards generated in your hand by +2 Power, is proving surprisingly versatile. While a natural fit for card-generation decks, she also shines in discard strategies. This guide details two effective decks leveraging Victoria Hand's unique abilities.
The Best Deck for Victoria Hand: Card Generation Domination
This deck maximizes Victoria Hand's synergy with Devil Dinosaur, creating a powerful card-generation engine.
Card | Cost | Power |
---|---|---|
Victoria Hand | 2 | 3 |
Devil Dinosaur | 5 | 3 |
The Collector | 2 | 2 |
Quinjet | 1 | 2 |
Agent Coulson | 3 | 4 |
Agent 13 | 1 | 2 |
Mirage | 2 | 2 |
Frigga | 3 | 4 |
Kate Bishop | 2 | 3 |
Moon Girl | 4 | 5 |
Valentina | 2 | 3 |
Cosmo | 3 | 3 |
Flexible Slots: Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Frigga can be swapped for Iron Patriot, Mystique, or Speed depending on your meta preference.
Synergies:
- Victoria Hand's Buff: Boosts cards generated by your other cards.
- Card Generators: Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl fuel the engine. Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards for extra power or disruption.
- Quinjet's Discount: Reduces the cost of generated cards, enabling more efficient plays.
- The Collector's Growth: Strengthens with each generated card.
- Cosmo's Protection: Shields Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur from enemy attacks.
- Devil Dinosaur's Win Condition: A powerful finisher, ideally played after Moon Girl or with many generated cards in hand.
Important Note: Some players report Victoria Hand may inconsistently buff cards. This could be a bug or an unclear interaction. Monitor this aspect of her gameplay.
How to Play Effectively: Card Generation Strategy
- Energy Management: Balance card generation with energy consumption. A full hand for Devil Dinosaur is crucial, but you need energy for generation and Victoria Hand's effect. Skipping turns to maintain a full hand might be necessary.
- Strategic Deception: Use generated joker cards to mislead your opponent, obscuring your next move.
- Ongoing Lane Protection: Protect your Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur lane (ideally played together) with Cosmo to counter tech cards like Enchantress.

Helicarrier | 6 | 10 |
Morbius | 2 | 0 |
Lady Sif | 3 | 5 |

Swarm | 2 | 3 |

Countering Victoria Hand
Super Skrull is an excellent counter, especially effective against both Victoria Hand and Doctor Doom 2099 decks. Shadow King removes Victoria's buffs in a single lane, while Enchantress disables her Ongoing effect entirely. Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in key lanes.
Is Victoria Hand Worth It?
Absolutely. Whether acquired through the Spotlight Cache or Tokens, Victoria Hand offers strong value. Her consistent buffs, combined with her adaptability to various archetypes, make her a valuable addition to any player's collection.
