Season Cards

Sam Wilson (Captain America)

Taking up the mantle of Captain America, Sam Wilson enters the battlefield with courage and purpose. As a 2-Cost, 3-Power card, he brings Captain America’s Shield to your side at the start of the game. The shield grants +2 Power to any Captain America card at its location, and thanks to Sam’s Ongoing ability, you can move the shield each turn. Could this synergy extend to characters like Captain Carter or future Captains? Stay tuned!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres steps into the spotlight as Falcon, now equipped with real wings. This 3-Cost, 3-Power card enhances the On-Reveal effects of 1-Cost cards played at his location—doubling their impact. Think of him as a compact version of Wong, supercharging low-cost combos. Pair him with Moonstone for explosive results.

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Joining the battlefield as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, General Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross brings more than just a striking mustache. His ability lets you draw a card whenever your opponent fails to spend all their energy. Is he destined to become Surtur’s unlikely ally? Only time will tell.

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, possesses a unique ability: when moved for the first time, it plays a card from your hand at the location it vacates. While he doesn’t move on his own, pairing him with movers and high-impact cards opens the door to creative strategies. Which decks will he dominate?

Diamondback

As the second snake-themed character in Snap, Diamondback delivers a 3-Cost, 3-Power package. Her Ongoing effect reduces opposing cards’ Power by -2 if they already have negative Power at her location. For maximum effectiveness, team her up with a certain blue hero!

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Prepare for an arcane battle unlike any other! Sanctum Showdown debuts on February 18 and reimagines how Snap is played. Unlike standard matches, this mode removes cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to control locations and reach 16 points before your opponent. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering higher point value. This fast-paced format promises intense gameplay and valuable rewards—including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!

Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey

Laufey arrives as a 4-Cost, 6-Power card. Upon entering the field, he steals 1 Power from any adjacent card—including yours. Could this lead to unexpected synergies with Diamondback? Time will reveal his true potential in the meta.

Uncle Ben

A 1-Cost, 2-Power tribute to Spider-Man’s origin story, Uncle Ben replaces himself with Spider-Man when destroyed. While it may seem gimmicky, don’t underestimate its narrative power—it’s definitely worth a try.

Gorgon

Gorgon, one of Arishem’s fiercest adversaries, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card. His Ongoing effect increases the cost of any off-deck cards in your opponent’s hand by +1. This counters popular strategies involving Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos, making Gorgon a formidable disruption tool.

Mastery System

Mark your calendars—the Mastery System launches on February 11th! Each card will feature its own Mastery Track, unlocking exclusive rewards such as character reactions, special flares, and even a gold diamond flare. This highly anticipated addition adds depth and personalization to your gameplay experience.

New Locations

• Smithsonian Museum: A natural fit for Sam Wilson and his iconic shield.
• Madripoor: A scaling location that favors early aggression but demands careful positioning to avoid falling into Shang-Chi’s zone.
