How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

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

It's worth noting that Cap’s Shield boosts both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time it lands in their lane, allowing Sam Wilson to quickly scale up to 7 power or more. Sam Wilson synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move decks, and Ongoing strategies, and even evades the likes of Killmonger. However, be cautious of Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can counter him effectively by removing his buffs.

Sam Wilson is an excellent addition to many decks, especially those crowded with 2-cost cards. He fits seamlessly into the dominant Wiccan meta deck and can also enhance Ongoing Zoo builds. Here’s an example of a Wiccan 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

This deck is packed with Series 5 cards like Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you haven’t kept up with season pass cards and lack Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, you might want to skip this deck. However, if you have these cards, you can replace Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with other 3-cost cards like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or even Galacta Daughter of Galactus.

Playing this deck requires patience, as you'll aim to counter your opponent after activating Wiccan. The key is deciding whether to keep or drop priority going into the final turn. Dropping priority allows you to use Enchantress or Shang-Chi on multiple cards, while maintaining priority lets you snipe your opponent's plays with Alioth. Sam Wilson provides a valuable 2-cost card that scales quickly and adds flexibility by locking out lanes and allowing you to move Cap’s Shield later in the game.

For those interested in Spectrum Zoo decks, here’s a suggested 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

The Series 5 cards in this deck include Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Marvel Boy and Caiera are crucial for this deck's success. You can swap in other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird if needed.

While Zoo-style decks have slightly fallen out of the meta, they remain strong. Marvel Boy can win games alongside Squirrel Girl, and Caiera provides necessary protection against Killmonger. Sam Wilson enhances this deck’s flexibility, and with Kazar and Blue Marvel, Cap’s Shield can receive significant buffs. Add Spectrum into the mix, and you have a 1-cost card that can buff Sam Wilson, Captain America, and other Ongoing cards multiple times.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

If you're a fan of Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson is a solid investment at the $9.99 season pass price. However, if Zoo decks aren't your style, there are other compelling 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that you can use in many meta decks. Given the high cost of staying competitive in *Marvel Snap*, you might decide to pass on Sam Wilson if Zoo decks don't appeal to you.

And there you have it—the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks to try out in *Marvel Snap*. Enjoy the game and may your strategies lead you to victory!
