Optimal Victoria Hand Deck

This deck leverages Victoria Hand's synergy with Devil Dinosaur and card generation. The core combo involves Victoria, Devil Dinosaur, and supporting cards like Quinjet, Mirage, Frigga, Valentina, Cosmo, The Collector, Agent Coulson, Agent 13, Kate Bishop, and Moon Girl.

Flexible slots (Agent 13, Kate Bishop, Frigga) can be substituted with Iron Patriot, Mystique, or Speed.

Synergies:

• Victoria Hand buffs 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 for extra power or disruption.
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards.
• The Collector gains power with each generated card.
• Cosmo provides protection against enemy attacks.
• Devil Dinosaur is the win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or with multiple generated cards in hand.

Note: There are reports of Victoria Hand potentially buffing cards generated by the opponent or cards that change locations. This may be a bug or an unclarified mechanic.

Effective Gameplay Strategies

1. Energy Management: Balance card generation and energy usage. A full hand maximizes Devil Dinosaur's power, but you need energy to generate cards and utilize Victoria's effect. Sometimes, skipping a turn to maintain a full hand is crucial.
2. Strategic Deception: Use generated cards as "decoys" to mislead your opponent and conceal your game plan.
3. Lane Protection: Protect your Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur lane with Cosmo to counter tech cards like Enchantress.

Discard Deck Variant

Victoria Hand also fits into discard decks. A strong lineup includes Helicarrier, MODOK, Morbius, Scorn, Blade, Apocalypse, Swarm, Corvus Glaive, Colleen Wing, Lady Sif, and The Collector.

Countering Victoria Hand

Super Skrull is an effective counter, especially against Doctor Doom 2099 decks. Shadow King removes Victoria's buffs from a single lane, while Enchantress disables all Ongoing effects. Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in key lanes.

Is Victoria Hand Worth It?

Yes, Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Her consistent buffs make her a strong addition to both card-generation and discard decks, offering a solid return on investment whether obtained through the Spotlight Cache or Tokens. Her RNG reliance is mitigated by her powerful and consistent buff.
