How Iron Patriot Works 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.”

This seemingly complex ability is quite straightforward. Iron Patriot adds a high-cost card to your hand, significantly reducing its cost if you control the location after your next turn. This allows for powerful late-game plays. However, successful utilization requires strategic location control and card synergy. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot both synergize with and counter Iron Patriot's effects.

Iron Patriot's versatility allows inclusion in various decks, particularly those focusing on hand generation or leveraging high-cost cards. Two exemplary decks are highlighted below:

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a valuable addition to many deck archetypes, offering strong late-game potential. While not game-breaking, his versatility makes him a worthwhile acquisition, particularly for players who enjoy hand-generation strategies. The overall value of the Season Pass, beyond Iron Patriot, should also be considered. The decision ultimately depends on individual playstyle and collection.
