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 itself is a 1-cost, 1-power card that reads: "Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location."

The intentionally vague wording regarding which Captain America it buffs is key—it boosts both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers by 2 power each time the shield lands in their lane, potentially scaling Sam Wilson up to 7 power quickly.

Sam Wilson is a versatile card, synergizing well with 1-cost cards, move cards, and Ongoing decks. It's also immune to Killmonger's effects. However, cards like Red Guardian and Shadow King can counter it by removing its buffs.

Sam Wilson complements the already crowded 2-cost slot, fitting seamlessly into Wiccan lists that dominate the meta, as well as Ongoing Zoo builds. Here’s a powerful 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 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 Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, you might want to skip this deck. Otherwise, consider substituting Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with other 3-cost cards like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or Galacta Daughter of Galactus.

This deck requires patience, as you're mainly looking to counter your opponent post-Wiccan activation. Managing priority on the final turn is crucial—dropping it lets you hit multiple cards with Enchantress or Shang-Chi, while maintaining it allows you to snipe with Alioth. Sam Wilson provides a versatile 2-cost card that scales quickly while offering lane control through Cap’s Shield.

For a different approach, consider a Spectrum Zoo 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

This deck includes Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh. Marvel Boy and Caiera are essential, but you can swap in cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, or Mockingbird for additional Zoo synergy.

While Zoo decks have slightly fallen from the meta, they remain strong. Marvel Boy, combined with Squirrel Girl, can clinch victories, especially with Caiera to protect against Killmonger. Sam Wilson adds flexibility, allowing Cap’s Shield to benefit from Kazar and Blue Marvel's buffs, and Spectrum's additional power boost makes it a formidable 5-power, 1-cost card.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

If you're a fan of Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson Captain America is a solid investment at the $9.99 season pass price. However, if Zoo isn't your style, there are other competitive 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can serve similar roles in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, it's understandable if you choose to skip Sam Wilson.

And those are the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks in *Marvel Snap*.
