Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America
Sam Wilson embodies justice as the new Captain America. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the board. Any Captain America card at that location gains +2 Power, and you can move the shield each turn. Will this benefit future Captain America cards? Only time will tell!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)
Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, has truly earned his 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 – powerful combos with Moonstone await!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross
This 2-Cost, 2-Power card boasts an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10+ 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 when he first moves. While he doesn't move himself, combining him with high-impact cards and movers promises exciting strategies.
Diamondback
Snap's second snake-themed character, Diamondback (3-Cost, 3-Power), 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 16 points by controlling locations. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, awarding more points. Earn rewards including 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 on reveal, even your own! Could he be the key to a Diamondback comeback?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben (1-Cost, 2-Power) is a nostalgic card. When destroyed, he's replaced by Spider-Man. A meme card with surprising potential!
Gorgon
Gorgon (2-Cost, 3-Power) increases the cost of cards in your opponent's hand that weren't initially in their deck. A powerful counter to strategies relying on cards like Shield Agents, Moon Girl, and Thanos.
Mastery System
Launching February 11th, the Mastery system adds a new layer of progression. Earn exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare by leveling up your cards.
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 new Sanctum Showdown mode and the Mastery system, there's something for every player. Which card are you most excited to try? Let us know in the comments!
