How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

Sam Wilson Captain America is a versatile 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: “Game Start: Add Cap’s Shield to a random location. Ongoing: You can move Cap’s Shield.” Cap’s Shield is a 1-cost, 1-power card with an ability that reads: “Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location.”

The intriguing aspect of Cap’s Shield is that it buffs both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time it lands in their lane. This can lead to Sam Wilson quickly scaling up to 7 power, making him a formidable presence on the board.

Sam Wilson synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move cards, and Ongoing decks, while also being immune to Killmonger’s destructive power. However, he’s not without counters; Red Guardian and Shadow King can neutralize his buffs, making strategic play essential.

Sam Wilson further clutters the 2-cost slot, much like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, yet he fits seamlessly into various decks. One notable fit is in a Wiccan-focused list that dominates the current meta. Here’s a powerful deck you can try:

Quicksilver
Fenris Wolf
Hawkeye Kate Bishop
Iron Patriot
Sam Wilson Captain America
Red Guardian
Rocket Raccoon and Groot
Gladiator
Shang-Chi
Enchantress
Wiccan
Alioth

This deck is rich in Series 5 cards, including Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you're missing key cards like Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, consider skipping this deck. For those with the necessary cards, you can substitute Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with other 3-cost cards like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or even Galacta Daughter of Galactus.

Playing this deck requires patience, especially when aiming to counter your opponent after deploying Wiccan. Managing priority in the final turn is crucial, as dropping it allows you to use Enchantress or Shang-Chi effectively, while maintaining it lets you snipe with Alioth. Sam Wilson adds a strong 2-cost option that scales quickly and provides flexibility by locking out lanes.

For a different approach, consider integrating Sam Wilson into Spectrum Zoo decks. Here’s a recommended list:

Ant-Man
Squirrel Girl
Dazzler
Hawkeye Kate Bishop
Sam Wilson Captain America
Marvel Boy
Captain America
Caiera
Shanna the She-Devil
Kazar
Blue Marvel
Spectrum

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh, with Marvel Boy and Caiera being essential. You can swap in other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird if needed.

While Zoo-style decks have slightly fallen out of favor, they remain potent, especially with Marvel Boy and Squirrel Girl combinations. Sam Wilson enhances this deck's flexibility, allowing Cap’s Shield to receive massive buffs from Kazar and Blue Marvel, further amplified by Spectrum, turning it into a 5-power, 1-cost card that significantly boosts both Sam Wilson and Captain America.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

If you're a fan of Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson Captain America is a worthwhile addition for the $9.99 season pass. However, if Zoo decks aren't your style, there are plenty of other strong 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can fill similar roles in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, skipping Sam Wilson is understandable if you're not keen on spending.

And those are the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks in *Marvel Snap*. Whether you choose to invest in the season pass or not, these decks can help you leverage Sam Wilson's unique abilities to your advantage.
