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 adds a high-cost card to your hand. 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). Strategic placement and powerful follow-up cards are key to maximizing his potential. Cards like Juggernaut, Negasonic Teenage Warhead, and Rocket & Groot synergize well and offer counterplay.

Best Iron Patriot Decks

Iron Patriot's versatility allows inclusion in various decks. He excels in Wiccan-style strategies and budget Devil Dinosaur hand-generation builds.

Wiccan-centric Deck:

Kitty Pryde, Zabu, Hydra Bob, Psylocke, Iron Patriot, U.S. Agent, Rocket & Groot, Copycat, Galactus, Daughter of Galactus, Wiccan, Legion, Alioth. (Untapped deck code available)

This deck thrives against Doom 2099-heavy metas. The goal is to leverage Wiccan's energy generation, buff Kitty Pryde with Galactus, and utilize U.S. Agent's lane control. Iron Patriot's generated card adds to the late-game power surge, with Alioth providing a powerful finisher. Strategic placement of Iron Patriot, ideally in an unrevealed lane, is crucial.

Devil Dinosaur Revival Deck:

Maria Hill, Quinjet, Hydra Bob, Hawkeye, Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sentinel, Victoria Hand, Mystique, Agent Coulson, Shang-Chi, Wiccan, Devil Dinosaur. (Untapped deck code available)

This deck revisits the classic Devil Dinosaur strategy, enhanced by Iron Patriot and Victoria Hand. While Iron Patriot doesn't directly summon Devil Dinosaur, the generated card adds to the hand size, improving Devil Dinosaur's effectiveness. Mystique and Agent Coulson provide powerful synergies, and Sentinel's cost reduction creates a potent late-game board presence.

Is Iron Patriot Worth Buying the Season Pass For?

Iron Patriot is a strong card, but not game-breaking. His value depends on your playstyle. If you enjoy hand-generation strategies, the Season Pass is a worthwhile investment. However, if you prefer other archetypes, numerous 2-cost alternatives exist. The overall value of the Season Pass, including Iron Patriot and other rewards, should inform your decision.
