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 ability may seem complex, but it's quite straightforward. When you play Iron Patriot, he adds a high-cost card to your hand. If you're leading in the lane where Iron Patriot is placed by the next turn, the card he added gets a -4 cost reduction. This can turn a 4-cost card into a 0-cost card, a 5-cost card into a 1-cost card, and a 6-cost card into a 2-cost card.

Cards like Doctor Doom can be game-changers, but you'll need to commit to Iron Patriot’s lane to maximize this effect. Certain cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon and Groot directly synergize with or counter Iron Patriot, making strategic placement crucial.

Best Day One Iron Patriot Decks in Marvel Snap

Iron Patriot, much like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card that fits into various decks, though he shines brightest in specific ones. Here’s a look at two promising decks:

**Wiccan-Style Deck:**

• Kitty Pryde
• Zabu
• Hydra Bob
• Psylocke
• Iron Patriot
• US Agent
• Rocket Raccoon and Groot
• Copycat
• Galacta
• Daughter of Galactus
• Wiccan
• Legion
• Alioth

If you're missing Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon and Groot, substitute them with high-power cards of similar cost to maintain your energy curve for Wiccan. Both Wiccan and Alioth are essential for this deck. Despite the prevalence of Doom 2099 in the meta, this deck remains strong, focusing on maximizing Wiccan’s energy generation and boosting Kitty Pryde with Galacta. US Agent can win lanes solo, but be cautious about placing higher-cost cards in his lane. To fully leverage Iron Patriot, pair him with Hydra Bob or Rocket Raccoon and Groot in the same lane, or consider Copycat in the far right unrevealed lane. With good planning, you'll have 7 energy on turn 5 and 8 energy on turn 6, allowing you to deploy a flurry of cards and disrupt your opponent's strategies with US Agent and Rocket Raccoon and Groot.

**Devil Dinosaur Deck:**

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sentinel
• Victoria Hand
• Mystique
• Agent Coulson
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Devil Dinosaur

This deck revives the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and the Spotlight Cache card, Victoria Hand. Essential cards aside from Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand include Hydra Bob, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, and Wiccan. You can replace Hydra Bob with a 1-cost card like Nebula, but Kate Bishop and Wiccan are non-negotiable. The traditional Devil Dinosaur play on turn 5 into Mystique and Agent Coulson is strong, but if your hand size is insufficient, pivot to Wiccan to play out generated cards and copy Victoria Hand with Mystique. Sentinel, boosted by Victoria Hand, becomes a powerhouse, and with Quinjet, you can have 1-cost, 7-power cards. Iron Patriot and Agent Coulson further enhance this strategy.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a solid card that's less niche than some past season pass cards like Surtur. While you might feel a twinge of regret for skipping him, it's not a game-changer if you do. However, if you're keen on playing hand-generation decks, Iron Patriot is a worthwhile investment. For $9.99 USD, you can unlock him along with the other benefits the *Marvel Snap* season pass provides.

And those are the best Iron Patriot decks in *Marvel Snap*.
