Spider-Man Soars into 'Marvel Snap'

Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!

September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around the amazing Spider-Man and his web of allies! This season introduces a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities. These abilities, unlike "On Reveal," offer players tactical control, allowing them to trigger effects at optimal moments and circumvent counter-strategies.

The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man, perfectly embodies this new mechanic. A 4-cost, 6-power card, his Activate ability lets you absorb the lowest-cost card at a location, mirroring its effect. This opens up exciting possibilities, especially when combined with cards like Galactus. Expect this powerhouse to be a focal point of the meta, potentially leading to future adjustments.

Here's a quick look at the other additions:

• Silver Sable: A 1-cost, 1-power card with an On Reveal ability that steals 2 power from the top card of your opponent's deck. A sneaky addition to many deck builds.

• Madame Web: This ongoing ability card allows you to move one card at her location to another location once per turn, offering strategic repositioning.

• Arana: Another 1-cost, 1-power card with an Activate ability. Activating her moves the next card you play to the right and boosts its power by +2. A valuable asset for move-based strategies.

• Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): A 4-cost, 5-power card with an Activate ability that spawns an identical clone at another location. Double the trouble (and power)!

Two new locations also join the fray:

• Brooklyn Bridge: A location with a unique twist – you can't play cards there on consecutive turns, demanding creative card placement.

• Otto's Lab: This location mirrors Otto Octavius's cunning. Playing a card here pulls a card from your opponent's hand into play, adding an element of surprise.

This season's additions promise exciting new gameplay possibilities. The "Activate" mechanic introduces a fresh layer of strategic depth.
