The Best Deck for Iron Patriot
Iron Patriot excels in card-generation decks alongside Devil Dino and Victoria Hand. This core trio is supported by: Sentinel, Quinjet, Valentina, Mirage, Frigga, Mobius M. Mobius, Moon Girl, Agent Coulson, and Kate Bishop.
Consider replacing Frigga with Cosmo to mitigate opponent counter-strategies.
Iron Patriot Deck Synergies
- Iron Patriot provides discounted high-cost cards, driving the deck's strategy.
- Valentina, Sentinel, Mirage, Agent Coulson, Moon Girl, and Kate Bishop generate cards, triggering Victoria Hand's effect.
- Quinjet further reduces the cost of generated cards.
- Frigga duplicates a card, enhancing Victoria's effect and potentially doubling key abilities like Iron Patriot's.
- Mobius M. Mobius protects against cost manipulation by opponents.
- Devil Dino serves as the win condition, leveraging hand size for powerful buffs.
Effective Iron Patriot Gameplay
Maximize Iron Patriot's impact with these strategies:
- Strategic Placement: Play Iron Patriot in a lane your opponent is unlikely to contest early to ensure the cost reduction. Combos like Ebony Maw + War Machine can secure the lane, but risk overspending resources.
- Hand Management: If Devil Dino is your win condition, carefully manage your hand size. Only play card generators when you have space. Avoid Agent Coulson with a full hand.
- Prioritize Discounted Duplicates: Use duplication effects like Moon Girl after utilizing Iron Patriot's discount or other cost reductions for maximum value.
Countering Iron Patriot
Counter Iron Patriot decks by disrupting their energy and hand management:
- Cost Manipulation & Clogging: Cards like US Agent, Cosmo, Iceman, Wave, Sandman, and Shadow King interfere with energy and board space.
- Junk Archetype: Green Goblin and Hobgoblin disrupt the opponent's strategy.
- Valkyrie: A clever counter to Victoria Hand, removing crucial buffs.
Is Iron Patriot a Worthwhile Card?
Iron Patriot won't revolutionize the meta, but it's a valuable addition for competitive players. However, it doesn't justify purchasing the premium pass. F2P players can focus on Victoria Hand, which enables similar strategies without Iron Patriot's reliance.
