Marvel SNAP's inaugural Spotlight Cache card of 2025, Victoria Hand, is an Ongoing character that enhances cards generated within your hand. While often categorized as a card-generation archetype staple, Victoria Hand surprisingly excels in discard decks as well. This guide presents two robust Victoria Hand deck builds, one for each archetype, to help you integrate her into the current SNAP meta.

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 are 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 serves as a tech card, protecting Devil Dinosaur and Victoria Hand from most attacks when played in the same lane.
- Devil Dinosaur is your 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 behavior remains unclear. If not a bug, the card text requires clarification. Regardless, it's a factor to consider when using Victoria Hand decks.
Effective Victoria Hand Gameplay
Successful Victoria Hand deck play involves:
- Balancing Card Generation and Energy: Aim for a full hand for optimal Devil Dinosaur growth, while also generating cards and utilizing Victoria Hand's effect. Efficient energy management is crucial; sometimes skipping a turn to maintain a full hand is more beneficial than filling the board.
- Using Joker Cards Strategically: Victoria Hand decks generate many random cards. Use these strategically as decoys to confuse your opponent and mask your next move.
- Protecting Your Ongoing Lane: Opponents will likely target your Victoria Hand lane 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 a place 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. His synergy with Doctor Doom 2099 decks makes him a valuable tech card regardless of whether the opponent uses Victoria Hand or Doom 2099 lineups.
Other counters include Shadow King (removes Victoria Hand's buffs in one lane) and Enchantress (removes all Ongoing effects). Valkyrie, played in a key enemy lane, can also disrupt their Power distribution.
Is Victoria Hand a Valuable Acquisition?
Victoria Hand is a worthwhile investment. Whether obtained through the Spotlight Cache or purchased with Tokens, she offers a strong return. While somewhat reliant on RNG, her permanent buffs facilitate consistent deck building. Her effectiveness in multiple archetypes (card-generation and discard) makes her a valuable asset for many players.
