Iron Patriot's Mechanics

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a unique 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're winning the lane after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced (4-cost becomes 0, 5-cost becomes 1, 6-cost becomes 2). Cards like Doctor Doom can lead to game-winning scenarios, but requires commitment to that lane.

Synergies and Counters: Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, Rocket Raccoon & Groot directly interact with and can counter Iron Patriot's effect.

Best Day One Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot, similar to Hawkeye Kate Bishop, is a versatile 2-cost card adaptable to various decks. He excels in Wiccan-style and Devil Dinosaur hand-generation strategies.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

• Kitty Pryde
• Zabu
• Hydra Bob
• Psylocke
• Iron Patriot
• US Agent
• Rocket Raccoon & Groot
• Copycat
• Galactus
• Daughter of Galactus
• Wiccan
• Legion
• Alioth

(Replace Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot with high-power alternatives if needed to maintain curve. Wiccan and Alioth are essential.)

This deck leverages Wiccan's energy generation, Galactus's board clear, and Iron Patriot's random card generation to overwhelm opponents. US Agent provides lane control, while Iron Patriot's reduced cost cards create powerful late-game plays. Strategic placement is crucial to maximize Iron Patriot's effect.

Devil Dinosaur Deck:

• Maria Hill
• Quinjet
• Hydra Bob
• Hawkeye Kate Bishop
• Iron Patriot
• Sentinel
• Victoria Hand
• Mystique
• Agent Coulson
• Shang-Chi
• Wiccan
• Devil Dinosaur

(Replace Hydra Bob with a suitable 1-cost card if necessary. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential.)

This deck revisits the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, utilizing Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand for hand manipulation. Mystique and Agent Coulson synergize with Devil Dinosaur for powerful late-game plays. Sentinel provides additional value with Victoria Hand.

Is the Season Pass Worth It?

Iron Patriot is a valuable addition, particularly for hand-generation strategies. While not game-breaking, he offers significant advantages compared to many 2-cost alternatives. The Season Pass's overall value, including Iron Patriot and other rewards, makes it a worthwhile investment for players interested in these deck archetypes. However, for players not focused on hand-generation decks, the value proposition may be less compelling.
