Iron Patriot's Mechanics

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the 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 seemingly complex effect is straightforward. Iron Patriot adds a high-cost card to your hand, significantly reducing its cost if you control the lane after your next turn. This allows for powerful late-game plays. However, cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot both synergize with and counter this strategy.

Best Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot, like 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

(Substitute Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot with high-power cards of similar cost if needed. Wiccan and Alioth are essential.)

This deck leverages Wiccan's energy generation and Galactus's buffs to Kitty Pryde. Iron Patriot's generated card fuels Wiccan's power, while US Agent secures lanes. Strategic placement of Iron Patriot, ideally in an unrevealed lane, maximizes his 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

(Consider replacing Hydra Bob with a 1-cost card like Nebula. Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial.)

This nostalgic deck revives the Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. The focus is on generating a large hand to maximize Devil Dinosaur's impact, or alternatively, utilizing Wiccan and copying Victoria Hand with Mystique for powerful Sentinel plays.

Day One Value: Is the Season Pass Worth It?

Iron Patriot is a strong, versatile card, but not game-breaking. The value depends on your playstyle. If you enjoy hand-generation decks, the Season Pass, with its additional rewards, is a worthwhile investment. However, if you prefer other strategies, numerous 2-cost alternatives exist.
