Marvel SNAP's initial Spotlight Cache card for 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing card that enhances the power of 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 deck builds for Victoria Hand, one for each archetype, allowing for optimal adaptation to 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, enhancing buffs or disrupting opponents.)
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards, enabling more efficient play.
• The Collector's power increases with each generated card.
• Cosmo serves as a tech card, protecting Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand from enemy attacks.
• Devil Dinosaur is your win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or when many generated cards are 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, this warrants attention when playing Victoria Hand decks.

Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay

Successful Victoria Hand deck play requires:

1. Balancing Card Generation and Energy: Maintain a full hand for maximizing Devil Dinosaur's power, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria's effect. Efficient energy management is crucial; sometimes skipping turns to maintain a full hand is more important than filling the board.
2. Using Joker Cards for Deception: Victoria Hand decks generate many random cards. Strategic placement of these cards can mislead opponents and maintain uncertainty about your next move.
3. Protecting Your Ongoing Lane: Opponents often target the Victoria Hand lane with tech cards like Enchantress. Counter this by playing Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand in the same lane (creating an Ongoing setup) and protecting them with Cosmo.

Alternative Discard Deck for Victoria Hand

Victoria Hand also finds 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. Many players utilize Doctor Doom 2099 decks, which Skrull synergizes with, making him a strong tech card against both Victoria Hand and Doom 2099 lineups.

Shadow King and Enchantress also provide strong counters. Shadow King removes Victoria Hand's buffs from a single lane, while Enchantress eliminates all Ongoing effects. Valkyrie, strategically played in a key enemy lane, can disrupt their power distribution.

Is Victoria Hand Worth Acquiring?

Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Whether obtained 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 adaptability to card-generation and discard archetypes makes her a worthwhile addition for many players.
