Marvel SNAP's inaugural Spotlight Cache card of 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing card that enhances the Power of cards generated within your hand. While often categorized as a card-generation archetype staple, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide presents two effective deck builds for Victoria Hand, one for each archetype, enabling you to adapt her to the current SNAP meta.
Victoria Hand (2–3)

Series: Five (Ultra Rare)
Season: Dark Avengers

The Best Deck for Victoria Hand
A card-generation deck featuring Devil Dinosaur is ideally suited for Victoria Hand. To maximize their synergy, combine them with: Quinjet, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Cosmo, The Collector, Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl.
Iron Patriot, Mystique, and Speed can substitute for Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Frigga.
Victoria Hand Deck Synergies
- Victoria Hand boosts cards added to your hand by card generators.
- Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl are your card generators. (Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards like Victoria Hand for added buffs or disruptions.)
- Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards, allowing you to play more.
- The Collector's power increases with each generated card.
- Cosmo serves as a tech card, protecting Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand from enemy attacks when played in the same lane.
- Devil Dinosaur is your win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or when you have numerous generated cards in hand.
Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or cards that change locations. Whether this is a bug or intended behavior remains unclear. If not a bug, the card text requires clarification. Regardless, it's a factor to consider when using Victoria Hand decks.
Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay
When playing a Victoria Hand deck, remember:
- Balance card generation and Energy management: Aim for a full hand to maximize Devil Dinosaur's growth, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria Hand's effect. Efficient Energy use is paramount; sometimes skipping a turn to maintain a full hand is more beneficial than filling the board.
- Use random cards strategically: Victoria Hand decks generate many unpredictable cards. Use these strategically as decoys to mislead your opponent.
- Protect your Ongoing lane: Opponents often target Victoria Hand with tech cards like Enchantress. Counter this by playing Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand in the same lane (creating an Ongoing synergy) and protecting them with Cosmo.
Alternative Discard Deck for Victoria Hand
Victoria Hand is also proving effective in refined discard decks. Pair her with: Helicarrier, MODOK, Morbius, Scorn, Blade, Apocalypse, Swarm, Corvus Glaive, Colleen Wing, Lady Sif, and The Collector.
Countering Victoria Hand
Super Skrull effectively counters Victoria Hand. He's a valuable tech card against both Victoria Hand and Doctor Doom 2099 decks, which are frequently used.
Other counters include Shadow King (removes Victoria Hand's buffs in one lane) and Enchantress (removes all Ongoing effects). Valkyrie, played in a key enemy lane, can disrupt their Power distribution.
Is Victoria Hand Worth Acquiring?
Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Whether obtained through the Spotlight Cache or purchased with Tokens, she offers a strong return on investment. While her effectiveness relies somewhat on chance, her permanent buffs enable consistent deck building. Her compatibility with multiple archetypes (card-generation and discard) makes her a highly desirable card for many players.
