How Iron Patriot Works in Marvel Snap
Iron Patriot is a 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."
This straightforward effect adds a high-cost card to your hand. If you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is reduced by 4. This can lead to game-winning plays, particularly with cards like Doctor Doom. However, you'll need to commit to that lane. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rocket & Groot directly synergize with, and counter, Iron Patriot.
Best Iron Patriot Decks in Marvel Snap
Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card. He excels in specific deck archetypes. We'll examine two: Wiccan-style decks and Devil Dinosaur hand-generation decks.
Wiccan Deck:
Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, US Agent, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth. [Untapped Link]
This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The strategy centers on leveraging Wiccan's energy generation, Galactus's buffs for Kitty Pryde, and US Agent's lane control. Iron Patriot provides a powerful late-game card. Replace Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket & Groot with high-power alternatives if needed.
Devil Dinosaur Deck:
Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. [Untapped Link]
This deck harkens back to classic Devil Dinosaur strategies, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. While Iron Patriot doesn't directly summon Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand creates synergy. If hand size is an issue, focus on Wiccan's energy generation and Mystique's copying of Victoria Hand. Sentinel's cost reduction is further boosted by Victoria Hand.
Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?
Iron Patriot is a strong card, but not game-breaking. Many 2-cost alternatives exist. However, if you enjoy hand-generation decks, the Season Pass, including Iron Patriot and other rewards, is a worthwhile investment. The decision depends on your playstyle and deck preferences.
