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."

While seemingly complex, Iron Patriot's effect is simple. He adds a high-cost card to your hand, and if you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is drastically reduced. This can lead to game-winning plays, particularly with cards like Doctor Doom. However, committing to Iron Patriot's lane is crucial for this effect. Cards such as Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot synergize with and counter Iron Patriot.

Top Iron Patriot Decks in Marvel Snap

Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks. He excels in Wiccan-style and Devil Dinosaur hand-generation strategies.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, U.S. Agent, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth [Untapped Deck Link]

This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The strategy centers on Wiccan for energy generation, Galactus to boost Kitty Pryde, and U.S. Agent for lane control. Iron Patriot's added card, combined with Hydra Bob or Rocket Raccoon & Groot, secures lane dominance. Consider placing Iron Patriot in an unrevealed lane to prevent opponent counterplay. With optimal play, you'll have abundant energy for late-game power plays, including Alioth. Substitute cards as needed if you lack Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot.

Devil Dinosaur Deck:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur [Untapped Deck Link]

This deck revisits the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. While Iron Patriot can't directly summon Devil Dinosaur, the synergy with Victoria Hand creates powerful late-game plays. Mystique copies Victoria Hand for added value. If your hand size isn't ideal for Devil Dinosaur, focus on Wiccan and utilize the generated cards. Sentinel's cost reduction, combined with Victoria Hand and Mystique, results in high-power, low-cost cards. Quinjet further amplifies this effect.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a strong card, but not game-breaking. The decision depends on your playstyle. If you enjoy hand-generation decks, the Season Pass is a worthwhile investment. Otherwise, while a good addition, he's not essential, given the abundance of viable 2-cost alternatives.
