How Sam Wilson Captain America Works in Marvel Snap

Sam Wilson Captain America is a 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 is a 1-cost, 1-power card with an ability that reads: “Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location.”

The wording might seem vague, but it’s intentional—it buffs both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions by 2 each time it lands in their lane, allowing Sam Wilson to quickly scale up to 7 power.

Sam Wilson is a versatile card, synergizing with 1-cost cards, move decks, and Ongoing strategies. It's resilient against Killmonger, but watch out for Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can counter it effectively.

This deck is loaded with Series 5 cards like Fenris Wolf, Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Iron Patriot, Red Guardian, Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Wiccan, and Alioth. If you're missing key cards like Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, this deck might not be for you. For those with the cards, consider swapping Red Guardian and Rocket Raccoon and Groot for other 3-cost cards such as Cosmo, Mobius M. Mobius, or even Galacta Daughter of Galactus.

Playing this deck requires patience, especially when setting up for a Wiccan play. The key is managing priority correctly in the final turn to effectively use Enchantress or Shang-Chi, or to snipe opponent’s plays with Alioth. Sam Wilson provides a strong 2-cost card that scales quickly and adds flexibility by locking out lanes and enabling strategic moves with Cap’s Shield.

For Spectrum Zoo decks, Sam Wilson is also a great fit. Here's a deck 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 features Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh, with Marvel Boy and Caiera being essential. You can substitute with other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, or Mockingbird if needed.

While Zoo decks have slightly fallen out of the meta, they remain potent. Marvel Boy can secure victories with Squirrel Girl, and Caiera protects against Killmonger-heavy mill decks. Sam Wilson enhances flexibility and allows Cap’s Shield to receive massive buffs from Kazar and Blue Marvel, with Spectrum adding further power boosts.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

If you're a fan of Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson is a worthy addition for the $9.99 season pass. However, if Zoo isn't your style, there are plenty of other 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*, it's understandable if you choose to skip Sam Wilson.
