Much like Hawkeye before him with Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Captain America is being outshined by his successor, Sam Wilson Captain America, who's headlining the February 2025 *Marvel Snap* season. Here are the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks to dominate the game.
Sam Wilson Captain America is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a dynamic ability: "Game Start: Add Cap’s Shield to a random location. Ongoing: You can move Cap’s Shield."
Cap’s Shield itself is a 1-cost, 1-power card that boasts: "Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location."
The strategic ambiguity in the card text is intentional—it boosts both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time the Shield lands in their lane. This can quickly scale Sam Wilson up to 7 power, making him a formidable force on the board.
Sam Wilson synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move decks, and Ongoing decks, providing versatility while avoiding destruction by cards like Killmonger. However, watch out for counters like Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can nullify Sam Wilson's buffs.
Sam Wilson Captain America fits seamlessly into several deck types, particularly enhancing Wiccan and Ongoing Zoo decks. Here's a top-tier Wiccan deck that's dominating the meta:

This deck is heavy on Series 5 cards like Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you're missing key cards like Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, consider skipping this deck. Otherwise, you can substitute Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with other 3-cost cards such as Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or Galacta Daughter of Galactus.
Playing this deck requires patience, as it's designed to counter your opponent after getting Wiccan into play. Timing is critical, especially in deciding whether to drop or maintain priority on the final turn, which can affect your ability to use Enchantress, Shang-Chi, or Alioth effectively.
Sam Wilson's flexibility allows you to lock out lanes and reposition Cap’s Shield for strategic advantage.
For a different approach, consider integrating Sam Wilson into Spectrum Zoo decks:

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Essential cards like Marvel Boy and Caiera should not be substituted, but you can include other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird.
Though Zoo decks have slightly fallen out of favor in the meta, they remain potent, especially with Marvel Boy's potential to win games alongside Squirrel Girl. Caiera is crucial for protection against Killmonger in prevalent mill-style decks.
Sam Wilson adds versatility to this deck, with Cap’s Shield receiving massive buffs from Kazar and Blue Marvel, further enhanced by Spectrum's global power increase.
For players who favor Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson Captain America is a worthwhile addition for the $9.99 season pass. However, if Zoo decks aren't your style, there are plenty of other competitive 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can fill similar roles in meta decks. Given Marvel Snap's steep cost to stay competitive, skipping Sam Wilson is understandable if you're budget-conscious.
And those are the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks in Marvel Snap.
