Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

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!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Sanctum Showdown, launching February 18th, offers a fresh take on Marvel Snap. This mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit. The goal is to win locations and reach 16 points first. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering more points. Expect intense gameplay and rewards including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
Exclusive Event Cards

- Laufey: A 4-Cost, 6-Power card that steals 1 Power from any nearby card on On-Reveal.
- Uncle Ben: A 1-Cost, 2-Power card that summons Spider-Man upon destruction.
- Gorgon: A 2-Cost, 3-Power card that increases the cost of cards in your opponent's hand (not initially in their deck) by one.
Mastery System

Launching February 11th, the Mastery system introduces individual Mastery Tracks for each card, offering rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare.
New Locations
