Victoria Hand: Mastering Marvel Snap's Newest Ongoing Card
Marvel Snap's 2025 Spotlight Cache introduces Victoria Hand, an Ongoing card boosting the Power of cards generated in your hand. While typically associated with card-generation decks, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide explores two effective deck builds showcasing her versatility.
Top-Tier Victoria Hand Deck (Card Generation)
This deck pairs Victoria Hand with Devil Dinosaur for a powerful synergy. Key cards include:
Card | Cost | Power |
---|---|---|
Victoria Hand | 2 | 3 |
Devil Dinosaur | 5 | 3 |
The Collector | 2 | 2 |
Quinjet | 1 | 2 |
Agent Coulson | 3 | 4 |
Agent 13 | 1 | 2 |
Mirage | 2 | 2 |
Frigga | 3 | 4 |
Kate Bishop | 2 | 3 |
Moon Girl | 4 | 5 |
Valentina | 2 | 3 |
Cosmo | 3 | 3 |
Flexible slots: Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Frigga can be swapped with Iron Patriot, Mystique, and Speed for strategic adjustments.
Synergies: Victoria Hand enhances cards generated in your hand. Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl are your generators. Frigga and Moon Girl duplicate key cards. Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards. The Collector's power scales with generated cards. Cosmo protects your key cards (Devil Dino and Victoria Hand). Devil Dinosaur is your win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or with numerous generated cards.
Important Note: Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or those that change locations. This needs clarification; if true, her card text requires updating.
Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay (Card Generation)
- Energy Management: Balance card generation and energy expenditure. A full hand maximizes Devil Dinosaur's growth, but you need space for card generation and Victoria's effect. Sometimes skipping a turn to maintain a full hand is crucial.
- Strategic Deception: Use generated cards strategically as decoys to confuse your opponent.
- Ongoing Lane Protection: Your opponent will likely target Victoria Hand with tech cards like Enchantress. Play Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand in the same lane, protecting them with Cosmo.
Alternative Discard Deck for Victoria Hand
Victoria Hand also finds a home in refined discard decks. A strong lineup includes:
Card | Cost | Power |
---|---|---|
Victoria Hand | 2 | 3 |
Helicarrier | 6 | 10 |
Morbius | 2 | 0 |
Lady Sif | 3 | 5 |
Scorn | 1 | 2 |

Countering Victoria Hand
Super Skrull is an excellent counter, especially effective against Doctor Doom 2099 decks. Shadow King removes Victoria's buffs from one lane, while Enchantress disables all Ongoing effects. Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in critical lanes.
Is Victoria Hand Worth It?
Yes! Victoria Hand offers a strong return on investment, regardless of acquisition method (Spotlight Cache or Tokens). While somewhat RNG-dependent, her consistent buffs make her valuable in multiple archetypes (card generation and discard), making her a must-have for many players.
