Season Pass Variants

This season's spotlight showcases the distinctive style of artist He Tianyou, featuring dynamic poses and dotted textures. Prepare your wallets; his artwork graces every variant this season!

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 of the field at the start of the game. Any Captain America card at that location gains +2 Power, and you can strategically move the shield each turn thanks to Sam's Ongoing ability. Will this benefit future Captain America cards? Only time will tell!

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, sports true wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards – perfect for powerful combos, especially with Moonstone!

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

This 2-Cost, 2-Power card boasts an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10 or more Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new ally? Only time will tell.

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, plays a card from your hand at his location the first time he moves. While he doesn't move independently, combining him with high-impact cards and movers promises exciting strategic possibilities.

Diamondback

Diamondback, Snap's second snake-themed character, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card. Her Ongoing effect reduces the Power of opposing cards at her location by -2 if they already have negative Power. Pair her with a certain blue guy for optimal synergy!

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Prepare for an enchanted battle! Debuting February 18th, Sanctum Showdown offers a fresh twist. Forget cubes and turn limits; 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

Laufey (4-Cost, 6-Power) steals 1 Power from any card near him (including yours) on his On-Reveal. Could he shake up the meta?

Uncle Ben

Uncle Ben (1-Cost, 2-Power) is a fun nod to Spider-Man's origin. When destroyed, he's replaced by Spider-Man. A meme card worth a try!

Gorgon

Gorgon (2-Cost, 3-Power) is Arishem's formidable foe. His Ongoing effect increases the cost of cards in your opponent's hand (that weren't initially in their deck) by one. A powerful counter to strategies using cards like Shield Agents, Moon Girl, and Thanos.

Mastery System

Launching February 11th! Each card boasts its own Mastery Track, offering exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare. This adds a new layer of customization and progression.

New Locations

• Smithsonian Museum: Perfect for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
• Madripoor: A scaling location rewarding early dominance, but beware of overextending.

Conclusion

This season is packed with excitement! From Sam Wilson's Captain America debut to Sanctum Showdown and the Mastery system, there's something for everyone. I'm personally excited about Redwing – what about you? Which card are you most eager to try? Let us know in the comments!
