Marvel Contest of Champions (MCoC) extends beyond the mobile realm; it boasts an arcade version at Dave & Buster's, offering a unique competitive experience. This arcade cabinet allows two-player 3v3 battles, best-of-three rounds determining the victor. However, the true draw is the post-match reward: a Champion Card, a physical collectible featuring a Marvel hero or villain.

These cards aren't just for show; they're scannable, allowing players to choose specific champions before a match. With over 175 cards across two series (including standard and foil variants), the collecting potential is significant. Whether you prioritize strategic advantage or collection completion, this guide covers everything you need to know.
What are Champion Cards?
MCoC Champion Cards are physical trading cards dispensed by MCoC arcade machines at Dave & Buster's. They represent in-game characters and are used to select champions for arcade matches. Unscanned matches result in randomly assigned champions.
Each card features a Marvel character, mirroring the mobile game, and has a foil variant, similar to other collectible arcade cards (e.g., Mario Kart Arcade GP, Injustice Arcade). Series 1 featured 75 champions, while Series 2 added 100, including reskins and new characters.
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 are drawn from the existing two series (75 and 100 unique champions, respectively), each with rarer foil variants.
While not mandatory for arcade gameplay, Champion Cards add strategic depth and customization. Instead of random assignments, players can select their preferred champions. Note: These cards do not transfer to the mobile MCoC game, but they enhance the arcade experience with a collectible element. For mobile game improvement tips, see our MCoC beginner's guide!
Champion Card Rarity and Collectibility
Like traditional trading cards, MCoC Champion Cards are highly collectible. While in-game functionality remains consistent, collectors aim for complete sets, including rare foil versions. Series 2 introduced new designs and reskins of Series 1 characters, leading to multiple card versions of some champions.
Available Cards:
- Series 1 (2019): 75 classic MCoC characters.
- Series 2 (later release): 100 cards, including Series 1 reskins and new additions.
- Foil Variants: Rarer, more valuable versions of standard cards.
Collection goals vary: some strive for complete sets, others focus on favorite characters or foil cards. Their Dave & Buster's exclusivity adds to their appeal.
