How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap
Sam Wilson Captain America is a dynamic 2-cost, 3-power card that adds a strategic layer to your gameplay. At the start of the game, it adds Cap’s Shield to a random location. This shield is a 1-cost, 1-power card with an ongoing ability that prevents it from being destroyed and gives +2 power to any Captain America in its location when moved. The clever wording of its ability means it boosts both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions, allowing for exponential power scaling. With Sam Wilson, you can quickly reach up to 7 power, making him a versatile choice for decks that utilize 1-cost cards, movement, and ongoing effects. However, be mindful of counters like Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can neutralize his buffs.

This deck is rich in Series 5 cards, including Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you lack these cards, consider alternatives like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or even Galacta Daughter of Galactus. Patience is key with this deck, as you aim to counter your opponent's moves post-Wiccan activation. Sam Wilson adds flexibility by scaling quickly and locking out lanes with Cap’s Shield.

Sam Wilson’s inclusion adds flexibility and enhances the power of Cap’s Shield through buffs from Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Spectrum.
Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?
If you’re a fan of Zoo-style decks, Sam Wilson Captain America is a solid investment at the $9.99 season pass price. He offers unique versatility and can scale effectively within these decks. However, if Zoo isn’t your style, there are plenty of other 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can fill similar roles in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, skipping Sam Wilson is understandable if you're not fully committed to Zoo strategies.
