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 straightforward effect provides a random high-cost card. If you control the location after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced (4-cost becomes 0, 5-cost becomes 1, 6-cost becomes 2). This can lead to game-winning plays, particularly with cards like Doctor Doom. However, securing the location is crucial. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot both synergize with and counter this strategy.

Iron Patriot's versatility allows inclusion in various decks, but he excels in specific archetypes. We anticipate his prominence in Wiccan-style decks and budget Devil Dinosaur hand-generation strategies.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

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

This deck thrives against prevalent Doom 2099 decks. The strategy centers on Wiccan for energy generation, Galactus for Kitty Pryde buffs, and U.S. Agent for lane control. Iron Patriot's added card enhances late-game power plays. Hydra Bob, Rocket Raccoon & Groot, or Copycat are ideal for securing Iron Patriot's location.

Devil Dinosaur Deck:

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

This nostalgic deck leverages Iron Patriot with Victoria Hand for powerful late-game scenarios. While Iron Patriot doesn't directly summon Devil Dinosaur, the combination with Mystique and Agent Coulson creates potent turn 5 and 6 plays. Sentinel's cost reduction further amplifies this strategy.

Day One Iron Patriot Deck Viability

Iron Patriot is a strong addition, but not game-breaking. While you might slightly regret missing out, numerous 2-cost alternatives exist. However, for hand-generation strategies, the Season Pass purchase is highly recommended, considering the overall value and inclusion of other beneficial cards.
