Series: Five (Ultra Rare)

Season: Dark Avengers

Release: January 7, 2025

Optimal Victoria Hand Deck

This card-generation deck centers around the synergy between Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur. The core includes: Devil Dinosaur, 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, depending on your preference and meta.

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.
• Quinjet reduces the cost of generated cards.
• The Collector's power increases with each generated card.
• Cosmo protects Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur.
• 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 enemy-generated or switched cards. This may be a bug or an unclarified mechanic. Monitor this situation for potential text updates.

Effective Gameplay Strategies

1. Energy Management: Balance card generation and energy expenditure. A full hand maximizes Devil Dinosaur's power, but you need energy for generation and playing Victoria Hand. Skipping turns to maintain a full hand may be more beneficial than filling the board.
2. Strategic Deception: Use unexpected card plays to mislead your opponent and mask your strategy.
3. Lane Protection: Protect your Victoria Hand and Devil Dinosaur lane with Cosmo to counter tech cards like Enchantress.

Alternative Discard Deck

Victoria Hand also finds a place in refined discard decks. A strong lineup pairs her with: 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, particularly useful against both Victoria Hand and Doctor Doom 2099 decks. Shadow King removes Victoria Hand's buffs from a lane, while Enchantress disables Ongoing effects entirely. Valkyrie can disrupt power distribution in key lanes.

Is Victoria Hand Worth It?

Yes, Victoria Hand is a valuable addition to your collection. Her consistent buffs and adaptability to multiple archetypes make her a strong investment, regardless of acquisition method. While somewhat RNG-dependent, her impact is significant enough to justify her inclusion in many decks.
