Marvel SNAP's initial Spotlight Cache card for 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing character that enhances 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 Victoria Hand decks, one for each archetype, to help you integrate her into the current SNAP metagame.

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 for added buffs or disruption.)
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards, enabling 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 attacks.
• Devil Dinosaur is your win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or with numerous generated cards in hand.

Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or those that change sides. Whether this is a bug or intended functionality 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:

1. Balance card generation and energy: Aim for a full hand for Devil Dinosaur's growth, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria Hand's effect. Efficient energy management is crucial; sometimes skipping turns to maintain a full hand is more important than filling the board.
2. Employ joker cards strategically: Victoria Hand decks generate random cards. Use them to mislead your opponent and keep them guessing.
3. Protect your Ongoing lane: Opponents often target Victoria Hand with tech cards like Enchantress. Play Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand in the same lane (creating an Ongoing setup) and protect them with Cosmo.

Alternative Discard Deck for Victoria Hand

Victoria Hand is also finding a place 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. His synergy with Doctor Doom 2099 decks makes him a valuable tech card against both Victoria Hand and Doom 2099 lineups.

Other counters include Shadow King (removes Victoria Hand's buffs in one lane) and Enchantress (removes all Ongoing effects). Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in key lanes.

Is Victoria Hand a Valuable Acquisition?

Victoria Hand is a worthwhile card. Whether acquired through the Spotlight Cache or purchased with Tokens, she offers a strong return on investment. While somewhat reliant on RNG, her permanent buffs facilitate consistent deck building. Her compatibility with card-generation and discard archetypes makes her a valuable asset for many players.
