How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

Sam Wilson Captain America is a dynamic 2-cost, 3-power card with an ability that reads: “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.” The clever ambiguity in the card text allows it to buff both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time it lands in their lane, enabling Sam Wilson to reach up to 7 power rapidly.

Sam Wilson is a versatile card that synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move cards, and Ongoing decks, while also being immune to Killmonger's effects. However, be wary of Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can counter Sam Wilson by removing his buffs.

Sam Wilson Captain America enhances the 2-cost slot in many decks, fitting seamlessly into the dominant Wiccan list and 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 rich with Series 5 cards like Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you lack Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, consider skipping this deck. For those with these cards, you can replace Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot with other 3-cost cards like Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or Galacta Daughter of Galactus.

Playing this deck requires patience, focusing on countering your opponent after deploying Wiccan. Managing priority in the final turn is crucial, as dropping it allows you to use Enchantress or Shang-Chi effectively, while maintaining it lets you snipe with Alioth. Sam Wilson adds a scalable 2-cost card that provides flexibility and lane control.

For a different approach, consider integrating Sam Wilson into Spectrum Zoo decks:

• 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, with Marvel Boy and Caiera being essential. You can substitute other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird. Despite Zoo decks falling slightly out of favor, they remain strong, especially with Marvel Boy and Squirrel Girl combinations. Sam Wilson enhances this deck's flexibility, with Cap’s Shield receiving significant buffs from Kazar and Blue Marvel, further amplified by Spectrum.

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 worthwhile addition for the $9.99 season pass. However, if Zoo decks aren't your style, there are plenty of other strong 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can fill similar roles in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, skipping Sam Wilson is understandable if you're not keen on spending.
