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 ability is straightforward. Iron Patriot adds a high-cost card to your hand, and if you control the lane after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced. This enables powerful plays with cards normally too expensive to deploy. Strategic lane placement is crucial to maximize this effect.

Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot offer strong synergy and counterplay against Iron Patriot.

Best Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot's versatility allows inclusion in various decks, but some synergies are more potent. Two prominent archetypes benefit greatly: Wiccan-centric decks 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

This deck thrives on energy generation. Wiccan's ability to manipulate energy is key, allowing you to deploy high-cost cards efficiently. Galactus provides a powerful board clear, while Kitty Pryde offers consistent power. Iron Patriot contributes a random high-cost card, further enhancing your late-game potential. Replace Hydra Bob, US Agent, or Rocket Raccoon & Groot with comparable high-power cards if needed.

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 deck leverages hand generation and powerful synergies. Iron Patriot's ability to add a high-cost card complements Devil Dinosaur's scaling power. Victoria Hand (Spotlight Cache card) enhances Sentinel's value, creating a powerful late-game push. Mystique and Agent Coulson provide additional board control. Replace Hydra Bob with a suitable 1-cost alternative if necessary.

Day One Iron Patriot Deck Viability

Iron Patriot is a strong addition, but not game-breaking. His value depends heavily on the deck's synergy. While not essential, he significantly improves hand-generation strategies. If you enjoy these styles, the Season Pass purchase is worthwhile for the card and the overall value it offers. For players who prefer other strategies, the value proposition is less compelling.
