Marvel SNAP's inaugural Spotlight Cache card of 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing card that enhances cards generated within your hand. While often considered a staple for card-generation decks, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide presents two effective decks for Victoria Hand, one for each archetype, allowing for adaptability within 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 serve as your card generators. (Frigga and Moon Girl also duplicate key cards like Victoria Hand for added buffs or disruption.)
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards, enabling you to play more.
• The Collector's power increases with each generated card.
• Cosmo acts as a tech card, protecting Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand from enemy attacks when played in the same lane.
• Devil Dinosaur is your primary win condition, ideally played after Moon Girl or when you have numerous generated cards in hand.

Reports suggest Victoria Hand might buff cards generated in the opponent's hand or cards that change locations. Whether this is a bug or intended functionality remains unclear. If not a bug, the card text needs clarification. Regardless, it's a factor to consider when using Victoria Hand decks.

Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay

When playing a Victoria Hand deck, remember:

1. Balance card generation and Energy management: Aim for a full hand to maximize Devil Dinosaur's power, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria Hand's effect. Efficient Energy use is crucial; sometimes skipping a turn to maintain a full hand is more beneficial than filling the board.
2. Use joker cards strategically: Victoria Hand decks generate random cards. Use these strategically as feints to mislead your opponent.
3. Protect your Ongoing lane: Opponents often target Victoria Hand 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 is also finding success 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 use Doctor Doom 2099 decks, which Skrull also benefits from, making him a strong tech card against both Victoria Hand and Doom 2099 lineups.

Other counters include Shadow King (removes Victoria Hand's buffs from one lane) and Enchantress (removes all Ongoing effects). Valkyrie, played in a key enemy lane, can disrupt their Power distribution.

Is Victoria Hand Worth It?

Victoria Hand is a valuable card. Whether acquired through the Spotlight Cache or purchased with Tokens, she offers a strong return on investment. While somewhat reliant on RNG, her permanent buffs allow for consistent deck building. Her effectiveness in card-generation and discard archetypes makes her a desirable card for many players.
