Marvel Contest of Champions Champion Cards Guide

Marvel Contest of Champions: A Deep Dive into Champion Cards

Marvel Contest of Champions transcends the mobile gaming realm; it's also found in arcade form at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique twist on the MCoC experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, with victory determined by a best-of-three series. The real draw, however, is the post-match reward: a Champion Card – a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain from the game.

These aren't just collectibles; they're also in-game assets. Players can scan these cards to select specific champions before a match. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting possibilities are vast. Whether you're aiming for strategic advantage or collection completion, this guide covers everything you need to know.

Understanding Champion Cards

Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by Marvel Contest of Champions arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. Each card represents a game character and can be used to select your champion in the arcade game. Unscanned? The machine randomly selects for you.

Each card showcases an MCoC Marvel character and boasts a foil variant, echoing other collectible arcade card games like Mario Kart Arcade GP and Injustice Arcade. Series 1 featured 75 champions; Series 2 added another 100, expanding the roster significantly.

A card is dispensed to each player after every match, win or lose. The card received is random, ensuring equal chances for all players. Cards come from Series 1 (75 champions) or Series 2 (100 champions), each with rarer foil variants.

While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and personalization. Instead of random assignments, players can strategically select their champions. Note: These cards don't transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but enhance the arcade experience with a collectible dimension. For mobile MCoC tips, check our beginner's guide!

Rarity and Collectibility

Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While in-game functionality is identical, the pursuit of complete sets, including rare foil versions, drives many collectors. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins of Series 1 characters, leading to multiple versions of some cards.

The complete card roster includes:

• Series 1 (2019): 75 cards featuring classic MCoC characters.
• Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including reskins of Series 1 and new characters.
• Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.

Collecting goals vary: complete sets, favorite characters, or solely foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal for Marvel enthusiasts.
