Victoria Hand's Mechanics

Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ongoing ability: “Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power.” This straightforward effect functions similarly to Cerebro, but crucially, it only applies to cards generated in your hand, not your deck. This means cards like Arishem are unaffected. Strong synergies exist with cards like Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to disrupt her effect. Her 2-cost and Ongoing nature allows for strategic late-game deployment.

Top Victoria Hand Decks

Victoria Hand's strongest synergy is with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates a high-cost card with a cost reduction. These two cards often appear together in decks. One example revives the Devil Dinosaur archetype:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sentinel
• Victoria Hand
• Mystique
• Agent Coulson
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Devil Dinosaur

This deck utilizes Hydra Bob (substitutable with a 1-cost card like Nebula), Kate Bishop, and Wiccan (essential). Victoria Hand significantly boosts Sentinel, turning generated Sentinels into powerful 2-cost, 5-power cards, or even 7-power cards with Mystique. Quinjet further enhances this strategy. Wiccan provides a late-game power surge, potentially combining with Devil Dinosaur, Victoria Hand, and a Sentinel. If Wiccan fails to activate, Devil Dinosaur can secure another lane, potentially copied by Mystique.

Another deck incorporates Arishem, despite the card generation not being directly boosted by Victoria Hand:

• Hawkeye
• Kate Bishop
• Sentinel
• Valentina
• Agent Coulson
• Doom 2099
• Galactus
• Daughter of Galactus
• Nick Fury
• Legion
• Doctor Doom
• Alioth
• Mockingbird
• Arishem

(Copyable list available on Untapped)

This deck leverages Arishem's random card generation, even after his nerf. Cards like Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, and Nick Fury generate cards that benefit from Victoria Hand's presence. While deck-generated cards are unaffected, the hand-generated cards provide significant board presence.

Is Victoria Hand Worth the Investment?

Victoria Hand is a valuable addition for players enjoying hand-generation strategies, especially when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect will likely see continued use in meta decks. However, she's not a collection-defining card. Skipping her won't significantly hinder your gameplay. That being said, given the relatively weaker cards scheduled for release later in the month, investing resources in Victoria Hand might be preferable.
