Iron Patriot's Mechanics

Iron Patriot is a 2-cost, 3-power card with a unique 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). This can lead to game-winning plays, particularly with cards like Doctor Doom. However, strategic lane placement is crucial. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot both synergize with and counter this strategy.

Top Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot's versatility allows inclusion in various decks. We'll highlight two effective strategies: a Wiccan-centric build and a revived Devil Dinosaur deck.

Wiccan-Style Deck:

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

(Substitute high-power cards for Hydra Bob, U.S. Agent, or Rocket & Groot if unavailable. Wiccan and Alioth are essential.)

This deck leverages Wiccan's energy generation to play high-cost cards, boosted by Galactus and Kitty Pryde. Iron Patriot adds another high-cost card to the mix, potentially reducing its cost for a powerful final turn. U.S. Agent provides lane control, while strategic placement of Iron Patriot is key.

Devil Dinosaur Deck (Revisited):

• 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 if needed. Hawkeye & Kate Bishop and Wiccan are essential.)

This deck revives the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. The goal is a powerful turn 5 Devil Dinosaur play, supported by Mystique and Agent Coulson. If the hand isn't large enough, a Wiccan-focused final turn can be utilized. Sentinel's cost reduction with Victoria Hand creates powerful plays.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass?

Iron Patriot is a strong card, but not game-breaking. While you might not regret missing him, his utility in hand-generation decks makes the Season Pass purchase worthwhile for those strategies. The additional Season Pass content further justifies the $9.99 USD cost.
