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."

This seemingly complex effect is straightforward. If you have hand space, Iron Patriot provides a random high-cost card. If you control the lane after your next turn, that card's cost is reduced by 4. This makes a 4-cost card 0 cost, a 5-cost card 1 cost, and a 6-cost card 2 cost.

Strategic card draws, like Doctor Doom, can significantly boost your win chances, but requires commitment to Iron Patriot's lane. Cards such as Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rocket Raccoon & Groot synergize and counter Iron Patriot effectively.

Similar to Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot is a versatile 2-cost card. He excels in specific deck types, notably Wiccan-style strategies and budget Devil Dinosaur hand-generation decks.

Wiccan-centric Deck:

Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, US Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth (Copy this list from Untapped)

Adaptations: Substitute Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot with high-power cards of similar cost to maintain your curve for Wiccan. Wiccan and Alioth are essential.

This deck effectively counters Doom 2099. The strategy centers on deploying Wiccan for ample energy, followed by Galactus to enhance Kitty Pryde. US Agent can win lanes, but careful placement of higher-cost cards is crucial. Utilize Hydra Bob, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, or Copycat in Iron Patriot's lane to maximize his effect. Consider placing Iron Patriot in an unrevealed lane to prevent opponent interference.

Devil Dinosaur Deck (Nostalgic Approach):

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)

Adaptations: Nebula can replace Hydra Bob. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial.

This deck revives the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, leveraging Victoria Hand (Spotlight Cache card) with Iron Patriot. If hand size is insufficient for Devil Dinosaur, focus on Wiccan and utilize generated cards. Mystique copies Victoria Hand, creating multiple low-cost, high-power Sentinels. Quinjet further enhances this effect, along with Iron Patriot's generated card and Agent Coulson.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a valuable addition, particularly for hand-generation strategies. While not game-breaking, he offers a significant advantage over other 2-cost alternatives. The season pass's additional content further justifies the $9.99 USD cost. However, if you don't utilize hand-generation decks, the investment might be less impactful.
