Best Sam Wilson Captain America Decks in Marvel Snap

Just as Hawkeye was overshadowed by Kate Bishop, Captain America finds himself in a similar situation with his successor, Sam Wilson, taking the spotlight in the February 2025 *Marvel Snap* season. Here’s a look at the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks in *Marvel Snap*.

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 states: “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 its own ability: “Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location.”

The clever ambiguity in the wording of Cap’s Shield's ability means it boosts both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time it lands in their lane, potentially scaling Sam Wilson's power up to 7 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, be wary of Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can counter Sam Wilson by removing his buffs.

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 key cards like Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, you might want to skip this deck. However, if you have them, you can substitute 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, as you aim to counter your opponent after deploying Wiccan. Timing is crucial when deciding whether to maintain or drop priority on the final turn, as it affects your ability to use Enchantress or Shang-Chi effectively or to snipe with Alioth.

Sam Wilson adds value by scaling quickly and providing flexibility in locking out lanes. You can also integrate Sam Wilson into Spectrum Zoo decks, such as:

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 list includes Series 5 cards like Hawkeye Kate Bishop, Marvel Boy, Caiera, and Gilgamesh, with Marvel Boy and Caiera being essential. You can swap in other Zoo-friendly cards like Nico Minoru, Cosmo, Gilgamesh, and Mockingbird if needed.

While Zoo decks have seen a decline in popularity, they remain powerful. Marvel Boy, combined with Squirrel Girl, can secure victories, and Caiera is crucial against Killmonger in mill-style decks. Sam Wilson enhances this deck by adding flexibility and benefiting from buffs by Kazar, Blue Marvel, and Spectrum, making Cap’s Shield a potent 5-power, 1-cost card that boosts both Captain Americas and other Ongoing cards.

Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?

If you're a fan of Zoo-oriented decks, Sam Wilson is a worthwhile addition for the $9.99 season pass. However, if Zoo isn't your style, there are plenty of other strong 2-cost cards like Jeff, Iron Patriot, and Hawkeye Kate Bishop that can replace Sam Wilson in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, it's understandable to pass on Sam Wilson if the game's expense is a concern.
