Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America
Sam Wilson takes center stage 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. Sam's Ongoing ability lets you move the shield each turn. Will this benefit future Captain America cards? Only time will tell!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)
Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, has 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—powerful combos with Moonstone are definitely possible!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross
This 2-Cost, 2-Power card boasts an impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new best friend?
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 himself, combining him with high-impact cards and movement effects could create exciting strategies.
Diamondback
Snap's second snake-themed character! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card 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
Debuting February 18th, Sanctum Showdown offers a fresh take on the game. Forget cubes and the six-turn limit; the goal is to win locations and be the first to 16 points. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, awarding 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 card near him (including yours) on Reveal. Could he shake up the meta?
Uncle Ben
A 1-Cost, 2-Power card that summons Spider-Man when destroyed. A meme card with surprising potential!
Gorgon
Arishem's formidable foe! This 2-Cost, 3-Power card increases the cost of cards in your opponent's hand (that weren't initially in their deck) by one. A powerful counter to strategies relying on cards like Shield Agents, Moon Girl, and Thanos.
Mastery System
Launching February 11th! Each card gets its own Mastery Track with exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare.
New Locations
- Smithsonian Museum: Synergizes perfectly with Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
- Madripoor: A scaling location rewarding early game dominance, but be wary of overextending.
Conclusion
This season is packed with excitement! From Sam Wilson's debut as Captain America to the new Sanctum Showdown mode and the Mastery system, there's something for every player. I'm personally excited to experiment with Redwing. Which card are you most looking forward to? Let us know in the comments!
