Victoria Hand's Mechanics

Victoria Hand is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ongoing ability: “Your cards created in your hand have +2 Power.” This straightforward ability functions similarly to Cerebro, but only for cards generated in your hand, not your deck (making her incompatible with cards like Arishem). Key synergistic cards include Maria Hill, Sentinel, Agent Coulson, and Iron Patriot. Early on, be mindful of Rogues and Enchantresses attempting to counter her effect. Her 2-cost and Ongoing nature allow for strategic late-game deployment.

Top Victoria Hand Decks (Day One)

Victoria Hand pairs exceptionally well with the season pass card, Iron Patriot, which generates cards with a potentially reduced cost. They are frequently seen together in decks. One such combination revitalizes older Devil Dinosaur strategies:

• Devil Dinosaur Deck: Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. (Copyable from Untapped)

Hydra Bob can be substituted with a comparable 1-cost card like Nebula. However, Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial components. This deck leverages Victoria Hand's synergy with Sentinel, creating powerful 2-cost, 5-power (or even 7-power with Mystique) Sentinels. Quinjet further amplifies this effect. Wiccan provides additional late-game power boosts, and Devil Dinosaur offers a fallback win condition.

Another deck utilizes Victoria Hand within an Arishem-centered strategy, despite her inability to directly buff Arishem's generated cards:

• Arishem Deck: Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Sentinel, Valentina, Agent Coulson, Doom 2099, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Nick Fury, Legion, Doctor Doom, Alioth, Mockingbird, Arishem. (Copyable from Untapped)

This deck relies on the inherent power of Arishem and the card generation of other cards in the deck. Victoria Hand still provides a valuable power boost to cards generated in the hand.

Is Victoria Hand Worth Spotlight Cache Keys or Collector’s Tokens?

For players who enjoy hand-generation strategies, Victoria Hand is a valuable addition, particularly when paired with Iron Patriot. Her powerful effect makes her a potentially meta-defining card. However, she isn't strictly essential for a complete collection. If you choose to skip her, it's unlikely you'll regret it. That being said, upcoming cards are considered weaker, making Victoria Hand a potentially worthwhile investment compared to future releases.
