Season Cards

Sam Wilson (Captain America)

Sam Wilson Captain America

As the new Captain America, Sam Wilson enters the battlefield with a strong sense of justice and an iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the field at the start of the game. The shield grants +2 Power to any Captain America card located at its position, and thanks to Sam’s Ongoing ability, you can move the shield each turn. Will this bonus extend to characters like Captain Carter or future Captains? Stay tuned for more insights!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres emerges as the new Falcon with real wings and impressive abilities. As a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, he doubles the On-Reveal effects of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for low-cost synergies. Pairing him with Moonstone could unlock some powerful combos!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Costing 2 and offering 2 Power, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross makes his debut sporting what may be the game’s most impressive mustache. His ability allows you to draw a card whenever your opponent fails to spend all their energy. Is he destined to become Surtur’s next ally? Time will tell.

Redwing

Redwing

This 3-Cost, 3-Power card plays a random card from your hand at the location it vacates the first time it moves. While Redwing doesn’t move on his own, combining him with movers and high-impact cards can lead to exciting strategies. Which deck will benefit most from his presence?

Diamondback

Diamondback

As the second snake-themed character in *Marvel Snap*, Diamondback brings a unique Ongoing effect. If enemy cards already have negative Power at her location, she reduces their Power by an additional -2. For maximum synergy, pair her with a certain blue hero known for power reduction!


New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Get ready for a magical battle unlike any other! Launching on February 18, *Sanctum Showdown* introduces a fresh twist to *Marvel Snap*. Unlike standard gameplay, this mode removes cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, players compete to capture locations and reach a total of 16 points. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering extra point value. With intense matches and the chance to earn up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, this mode is not to be missed.


Exclusive Event Cards

Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey

This 4-Cost, 6-Power card steals 1 Power from any card adjacent to it upon reveal, including your own. Could Laufey become a counter to Diamondback strategies? Expect some meta shifts once he arrives.

Uncle Ben

A 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man’s origin story. When destroyed, Uncle Ben transforms into Spider-Man. Though it might seem like a meme pick, this card could surprise many players.

Gorgon

As Arishem’s strongest Eternal rebel, Gorgon is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an ongoing effect that increases the cost of any non-deck cards in your opponent’s hand by 1. A potent disruptor against decks relying on external cards such as Shield Agents, Moongirl, or Thanos.


Mastery System

Brave New Season Sam Wilson Takes the Shield New Cards and Exciting Game Modes Await

Launching on February 11, the Mastery system introduces a new layer of progression to *Marvel Snap*. Each card will feature its own Mastery Track, unlocking exclusive rewards such as character reaction sets, special flares, and even gold diamond flares. Longtime fans will appreciate this deepened level of customization and advancement.
