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 lane after your next turn, that card's cost is significantly reduced (4-cost becomes 0, 5-cost becomes 1, 6-cost becomes 2). Winning the lane is crucial to maximize his impact. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot synergize well and offer counterplay.

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
• U.S. Agent
• Rocket & Groot
• Copycat
• Galactus
• Daughter of Galactus
• Wiccan
• Legion
• Alioth

This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The strategy focuses on Wiccan's energy generation, Galactus buffs for Kitty Pryde, and U.S. Agent's lane control. Iron Patriot's added card helps fuel Wiccan's power. Place Iron Patriot strategically to maximize his cost reduction.

Substitute Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket & Groot with high-power cards of similar cost if needed, maintaining the curve for Wiccan. Wiccan and Alioth are essential Series 5 cards.

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 revives the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy. Iron Patriot complements Victoria Hand (Spotlight Cache card), boosting hand size for Devil Dinosaur. If hand size is insufficient, pivot to a Wiccan strategy. Sentinel's synergy with Victoria Hand creates powerful 1-cost 7-power cards.

Hydra Bob can be replaced with a 1-cost alternative like Nebula. Hawkeye & Kate Bishop and Wiccan are crucial.

Day One Iron Patriot Deck Viability

Iron Patriot is a strong addition, though not game-breaking. While not essential, he significantly enhances hand-generation decks. His versatility makes him a worthwhile addition, especially for those focusing on hand-generation strategies. The Season Pass's value beyond Iron Patriot further justifies the purchase.
