Season Cards

Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson takes center stage as the new Captain America, brandishing the recognizable shield. Captain America's Shield is placed on your side of the field at the beginning of the game by this 2-Cost, 3-Power card. Any Captain America card at its location gains +2 Power from the shield, and you can move the shield every turn thanks to Sam's Ongoing ability. Does this imply that Captain Carter and other future captains will gain from it as well? Watch this space to find out!

JoaquĂ­n Torres (Falcon)

The new Falcon, Joaquín Torres, is more than just a phony—he has developed true wings! The On-Reveal powers of 1-Cost cards played at his location are doubled by this 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect. Consider him to be a miniature version of Wong for 1-Cost cards. Combine him with Moonstone to create powerful combinations!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Entering as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross sports the game's most impressive mustache. Every time your opponent doesn't expend all of their energy, his ability draws a card with ten or more Power. Is he too specialized to be Surtur's new ally? Time will tell.

Redwing

The special ability of Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, is that he plays a card from your hand at the spot he leaves the first time he moves. Even though he doesn't move by himself, combining him with high-impact cards and movers could result in some exciting strategies. What deck is he going to dominate?

Diamondback

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

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Get ready for an enchanted conflict! With a new take on the game, Sanctum Showdown will debut on February 18. This mode does away with cubes and the six-turn limit, in contrast to standard Snap. Rather, the objective is to win locations and be the first player to score 16 points. One spot turns into the Sanctum every turn, giving it more points than the others. Intense gameplay and the opportunity to win amazing rewards, such as up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards, are promised in this mode!

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. A Diamondback comeback might result from his arrival; will he cause a stir in the meta?

Uncle Ben

Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man'soriginstory. When he is destroyed, Spider-Man takes his place. Even though it appears to be a meme card, it's worth trying!

Gorgon

Gorgon, Arishem's most formidable foe, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an ongoing effect that raises the cost of any cards in your opponent's hand that weren't initially in their deck by one. He is a powerful counter because this throws off tactics like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos.

Mastery System

With exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare at the end, each card will have its own Mastery Track. This eagerly anticipated feature gives the game an additional level of customization and progression.

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.
