How Victoria Hand Works in Marvel Snap
Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: "Ongoing: Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power." Essentially, she boosts cards generated in your hand, functioning similarly to Cerebro but exclusively for hand-generated cards. This means she doesn't enhance cards added to your deck, so she won't work with cards like the nerfed Arishem.
Cards like Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot synergize well with her. In the first few weeks after her release, be on the lookout for Rogues and Enchantresses trying to counter her effect. As a 2-cost Ongoing card, you can strategically play her later in the game for maximum impact.

Victoria Hand pairs exceptionally well with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates a 4, 5, or 6 cost card with a conditional -4 cost. This duo could potentially breathe new life into old Devil Dinosaur decks. Here's a deck list to consider:
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Hydra Bob
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Iron Patriot
- Sentinel
- Victoria Hand
- Mystique
- Agent Coulson
- Shang-Chi
- Wiccan
- Devil Dinosaur

This deck includes two Series 5 cards besides Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand: Hydra Bob and Wiccan. While Hydra Bob can be swapped for a 1-cost card like Nebula, Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial for this setup.
Victoria Hand's synergy with Sentinel is particularly potent. With her effect, generated Sentinels become 2-cost, 5-power cards, and if you copy her effect with Mystique, they jump to 7-power. Add Quinjet, and you're deploying 1-cost, 7-power Sentinels every turn. Wiccan can further amplify this, potentially allowing you to play an 8-power card on the final turn, like Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand, or Sentinel.
If Wiccan doesn't work out, you can still win another lane with Devil Dinosaur, copying it with Mystique to distribute power across two lanes.
For a second deck, some players are experimenting with Discard-style lists, but these are highly optimized and might not accommodate Victoria Hand effectively. However, she fits well in an Arishem deck, even if she doesn't affect cards added to the deck. Here's the list:
- Hawkeye
- Kate Bishop
- Sentinel
- Valentina
- Agent Coulson
- Doom 2099
- Galacta
- Daughter of Galactus
- Nick Fury
- Legion
- Doctor Doom
- Alioth
- Mockingbird
- Arishem

Arishem's nerf means you don't gain extra energy until turn 3, but cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury generate cards that benefit from Victoria Hand. Despite the nerf, Arishem remains a dominant force in the meta, and this deck leverages random card generation to keep opponents guessing.

If you're into hand-generation decks, Victoria Hand is a solid addition, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect is likely to appear in meta decks periodically, but she isn't a must-have card. Skipping her won't leave you at a significant disadvantage in the long run.
However, considering the weaker cards slated for release later this month, investing in Victoria Hand might be a smarter choice than waiting for future options.
And those are the best Victoria Hand decks in Marvel Snap.
