How Iron Patriot Functions 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."
While seemingly complex, Iron Patriot's effect is simple. He adds a high-cost card to your hand, and if you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced. This allows for powerful late-game plays. However, success hinges on securing the location where Iron Patriot is played.
Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot synergize with and counter Iron Patriot's strategy.
Top Iron Patriot Decks in Marvel Snap
Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks. He excels in Wiccan-style strategies and hand-generation decks featuring Devil Dinosaur.
Wiccan-centric Deck:
Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, U.S. Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth (Copy this list from Untapped.)
- Replace Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot with similarly costed high-power cards if needed. Wiccan and Alioth are crucial.
- This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The aim is to leverage Wiccan's energy generation and Galactus' buffs for Kitty Pryde.
- Strategic placement of Iron Patriot is key, ideally in an unrevealed lane to prevent opponent counterplay.
Devil Dinosaur Deck:
Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur (Copy this list from Untapped.)
- Replace Hydra Bob with a suitable 1-cost card if necessary; Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential.
- This deck revives the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand.
- Mystique and Agent Coulson are crucial for maximizing Devil Dinosaur's impact.
Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?
Iron Patriot is a solid, versatile card, but not game-breaking. The decision depends on your playstyle. If you enjoy hand-generation strategies, the Season Pass is a worthwhile investment. Otherwise, while he's a good addition, he's not essential given the abundance of viable 2-cost alternatives.
