Season Cards

Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson takes center stage as the new Captain America, wielding the 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 at its location, and Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield every turn. Will this benefit future captains like Captain Carter? Stay tuned to find out!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

The new Falcon, Joaquín Torres, is no mere imposter—he's developed real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect doubles the On-Reveal powers of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards. Pair him with Moonstone for powerful combos!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Making his entrance as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross boasts the game's most impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with ten or more Power whenever your opponent fails to spend all their energy. Is he too niche to be Surtur's new ally? Only time will tell.

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, has a unique ability to play a card from your hand at the location he leaves the first time he moves. Although he doesn't move on his own, pairing him with high-impact cards and movers could lead to some thrilling strategies. Which deck will he dominate?

Diamondback

Diamondback, the second snake-themed character in Snap, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that further reduces the Power of opposing cards by -2 at her location if they already have negative Power. For optimal synergy, pair her with a specific blue guy!

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Get ready for an enchanted battle! Sanctum Showdown will launch on February 18, offering a fresh take on the game. Unlike standard Snap, this mode removes cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first player to score 16 points. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, making it worth more points than others. This mode promises intense gameplay and the chance to win fantastic rewards, including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!

Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey

Laufey is a 4-Cost, 6-Power card that uses his On-Reveal ability to steal 1 Power from any card in his vicinity, including yours. His arrival could spark a Diamondback resurgence; will he shake up the meta?

Uncle Ben

Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man's origin story. When destroyed, Spider-Man takes his place. Though it may seem like a meme card, it's definitely worth experimenting with!

Gorgon

Gorgon, Arishem's most formidable foe, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that increases the cost of any cards in your opponent's hand that weren't initially in their deck by one. This disrupts strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos, making him a powerful counter.

Mastery System

The Mastery system will finally launch on February 11th! Each card will have its own Mastery Track, offering exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare at the end. This long-awaited feature adds an extra layer of customization and progression to the game.

New Locations

• Smithsonian Museum: A perfect match for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
• Madripoor: A scaling location that rewards early dominance, but be cautious of overextending into Shang-Chi’s range.

Conclusion

This season is bursting with excitement! From Sam Wilson’s debut as Captain America to the chaotic fun of Sanctum Showdown and the introduction of the Mastery system, there’s something for everyone.
