Sam Wilson embodies justice as the new Captain America. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield each turn. Will this benefit future Captain America cards? Only time will tell!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, boasts true wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location, making him a mini-Wong for low-cost cards. Expect powerful synergies, especially with Moonstone!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

This 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, features an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't use all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new partner?

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, plays a card from your hand from his location upon his first move. While he doesn't move independently, combining him with powerful cards and movement abilities promises exciting strategies.

Diamondback

Diamondback, Snap's second snake-themed character, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card. Her Ongoing effect reduces opposing cards' Power by -2 if they already have negative Power at her location. Pair her with specific cards for maximum impact!
