Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America
Sam Wilson embodies the spirit of Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places the shield on your side of the board at the start of the game, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability lets you move the shield each turn. Will this benefit future Captain America cards like Captain Carter? Only time will tell!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)
Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, boasts impressive wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards—a powerful synergy with Moonstone awaits!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross
This 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, sports an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10 or more Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new best friend?
Redwing
Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, plays a card from your hand at his location the first time he moves. While he doesn't move himself, combining him with powerful cards and movement effects promises exciting strategies. Which deck will he dominate?
Diamondback
Diamondback, Snap's second snake-themed character, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card. Her Ongoing effect reduces the Power of opposing cards at her location by -2 if they already have negative Power. Pair her with a certain blue guy for optimal synergy!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown
Launching February 18th, Sanctum Showdown offers a fresh take on Marvel Snap. Forget cubes and turn limits; the goal is to be the first to reach 16 points by controlling locations. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering more points. Expect intense gameplay and rewards—up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
Exclusive Event Cards
Laufey
Laufey (4-Cost, 6-Power) steals 1 Power from any card near him (including your own) on Reveal. Could he be the key to a Diamondback comeback?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben (1-Cost, 2-Power) is a fun card that replaces himself with Spider-Man when destroyed. A meme card with potential!
Gorgon
Gorgon (2-Cost, 3-Power) increases the cost of cards in your opponent's hand (not originally in their deck) by one. A powerful counter to strategies involving cards like Shield Agents, Moon Girl, and Thanos.
Mastery System
Launching February 11th, the Mastery system introduces individual card progression tracks with rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare.
New Locations
- Smithsonian Museum: Perfect for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
- Madripoor: A scaling location rewarding early game dominance, but be wary of overextending.
Conclusion
This season is packed with excitement! From Sam Wilson's debut as Captain America to the Sanctum Showdown and the Mastery system, there's something for everyone. I'm personally excited about Redwing—what about you? Which card are you most eager to try? Let us know in the comments!
