Victoria Hand: Mastering Marvel Snap's Newest Card
Marvel Snap's 2025 Spotlight Cache introduces Victoria Hand, an Ongoing card that boosts the power of cards generated within your hand. While often associated with card-generation decks, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide explores two effective deck builds leveraging Victoria Hand's unique abilities within the current metagame.
Optimal Deck for Victoria Hand (Card Generation)
This deck utilizes Victoria Hand's synergy with Devil Dinosaur and other card generators. The key is to generate a powerful hand for a massive Devil Dinosaur play.
| 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 Options: Iron Patriot, Mystique, and Speed can replace Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Frigga.
Deck Synergies:
- Victoria Hand empowers cards generated in your hand.
- Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl generate cards. Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards.
- Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards.
- The Collector gains power with each generated card.
- Cosmo protects your key cards (Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand) from enemy attacks.
- Devil Dinosaur is your primary win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or with multiple generated cards.
Note: Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or cards that change locations. This needs clarification to determine if it's a bug or intended functionality.
Effective Gameplay Strategies:
- Energy Management: Balance card generation and energy expenditure. A full hand maximizes Devil Dinosaur's potential, but you also need energy to generate cards and utilize Victoria Hand's effect. Skipping turns to maintain a full hand may be crucial.
- Misdirection: Use randomly generated cards strategically to deceive your opponent.
- Ongoing Lane Protection: Protect your Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur lane with Cosmo, countering enemy tech cards like Enchantress.

Countering Victoria Hand Decks
Super Skrull is an excellent counter. Doctor Doom 2099 decks, which Skrull synergizes with, also provide a strong counter. Shadow King removes Victoria Hand's buffs from a single lane, while Enchantress disables Ongoing effects entirely. Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in critical lanes.
Is Victoria Hand Worth It?
Yes, Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Her consistent buffs, despite some RNG reliance, make her a strong addition to both card-generation and discard decks, representing a solid investment whether obtained through the Spotlight Cache or Tokens.
