Iron Patriot's Mechanics
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 straightforward effect provides a random high-cost card. If you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced (4-cost becomes 0, 5-cost becomes 1, 6-cost becomes 2). Winning the location is key to maximizing Iron Patriot's potential. Synergies exist with cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot.
Best Iron Patriot Decks
Iron Patriot, like Hawkeye & Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks. Here are two effective strategies:
Wiccan-Style Deck:
- Kitty Pryde
- Zabu
- Hydra Bob
- Psylocke
- Iron Patriot
- U.S. Agent
- Rocket Raccoon & Groot
- Copycat
- Galactus
- Daughter of Galactus
- Wiccan
- Legion
- Alioth

This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The goal is to leverage Wiccan's energy generation and Galactus' buffs, with Iron Patriot providing a powerful late-game addition. U.S. Agent provides lane control, while careful placement of high-cost cards is crucial. Hydra Bob, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, or Copycat are ideal targets for Iron Patriot's ability.
Devil Dinosaur Deck (Nostalgic Approach):
- Maria Hill
- Quinjet
- Hydra Bob
- Hawkeye & Kate Bishop
- Iron Patriot
- Sentinel
- Victoria Hand
- Mystique
- Agent Coulson
- Shang-Chi
- Wiccan
- Devil Dinosaur

This deck revisits the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. The combination aims for a powerful turn 5 Devil Dinosaur play, supplemented by Mystique and Agent Coulson. If the hand isn't large enough, a Wiccan-focused strategy can be employed. Sentinel benefits from Victoria Hand, creating powerful 1-cost 7-power cards.
Day One Iron Patriot Deck Evaluation
Iron Patriot is a valuable addition, though not game-breaking. While not essential, he enhances hand-generation strategies significantly. His versatility makes him a worthwhile addition for players who enjoy these styles. For $9.99 USD, the Season Pass offers good value, especially for those wanting to use hand-generation decks. The other Season Pass rewards further justify the purchase.
Marvel Snap is available now.
