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, has an ability that states: "Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location."
The clever ambiguity in the card's text allows Cap’s Shield to boost both Sam Wilson and Steve Rogers versions of Captain America by 2 power each time it lands in their lane. This can quickly escalate Sam Wilson's power to 7, making him a formidable force on the board.
Sam Wilson synergizes well with 1-cost cards, move decks, and Ongoing strategies, and he's immune to Killmonger's wrath. However, watch out for Red Guardian and Shadow King, which can counter him effectively by removing his buffs.

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're missing key cards like Fenris Wolf, Wiccan, and Alioth, you might want to skip this deck. Otherwise, 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, especially when setting up Wiccan. Timing is crucial, particularly when deciding whether to maintain or drop priority on the final turn to maximize the impact of Enchantress or Shang-Chi, or to use Alioth to snipe your opponent's plays.
Sam Wilson adds a versatile 2-cost card that scales quickly and provides strategic flexibility by locking down lanes and allowing you to reposition Cap’s Shield later.
For those who prefer Zoo decks, consider this 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
[Click here to copy this list from Untapped.](https://untapped.gg/deck/your-deck-link-here)
This deck 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 slightly fallen out of favor, they remain strong, especially with Marvel Boy's potential to win games alongside Squirrel Girl. Caiera is crucial to protect against Killmonger in mill-style decks.
Sam Wilson enhances this deck's flexibility, allowing Cap’s Shield to receive massive buffs from Kazar and Blue Marvel, and further amplified by Spectrum, turning it into a 5-power, 1-cost card that boosts both Sam Wilson and Captain America multiple times, while also enhancing other Ongoing cards.
Is Sam Wilson Captain America Worth Buying the Season Pass?
If you're a fan of Zoo decks, Sam Wilson Captain America is a solid choice 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 fill similar roles in meta decks. Given the high cost of keeping up with *Marvel Snap*, it's understandable if you decide to pass on Sam Wilson.
And there you have it—the best Sam Wilson Captain America decks to conquer *Marvel Snap*.
