How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

Sam Wilson Captain America is a 2-cost, 3-power card with the ability: “Game Start: Add Cap’s Shield to a random location. Ongoing: You can move Cap’s Shield.” Cap’s Shield (1-cost, 1-power) has the ability: “Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location.”

Importantly, the card buffs both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America. This allows for exponential power scaling, potentially boosting Sam Wilson to 7 power rapidly. Sam Wilson's versatility shines through synergy with 1-cost cards, move cards, and Ongoing decks, even evading Killmonger. However, be aware of counters like Red Guardian and Shadow King.

Sam Wilson, alongside Hawkeye Kate Bishop, adds another strong contender to the 2-cost card slot. He excels in Wiccan decks and Ongoing Zoo builds.

Here's a Wiccan-focused deck:

Quicksilver, Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Sam Wilson Captain America, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Gladiator, Shang-Chi, Enchantress, Wiccan, Alioth. [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

This deck is Series 5 heavy (Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, Alioth). Lacking these cards? Substitute Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with 3-cost cards like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or Galactus. The strategy centers on countering after playing Wiccan, carefully managing priority for optimal Enchantress/Shang-Chi or Alioth plays. Sam Wilson provides valuable scaling and lane control.

For a Spectrum Zoo deck, consider this list:

Ant-Man, Squirrel Girl, Dazzler, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Sam Wilson Captain America, Marvel Boy Captain America, Caiera, Shanna the She-Devil, Kazar, Blue Marvel, Spectrum. [Click here to copy this list from Untapped.]

Series 5 cards here are Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Marvel Boy and Caiera are crucial; consider Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, or Mockingbird as substitutes. While Zoo decks have waned slightly, they remain potent. Marvel Boy with Squirrel Girl can win games, and Caiera counters Killmonger-heavy decks. Sam Wilson enhances flexibility, while Cap's Shield gains significant boosts from Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Spectrum.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

For Zoo enthusiasts, Sam Wilson's value at the $9.99 season pass price is strong. However, if you don't favor Zoo decks, many other 2-cost cards (Jeff, Iron Patriot, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, etc.) can fill his role. If you're budget-conscious, skipping Sam Wilson is perfectly reasonable.
