Marvel Snap's Amazing Spider-Season Swings into Action!
September brings a thrilling new season to Marvel Snap (Free), themed around everyone's favorite web-slinger and his allies! This season introduces a game-changing mechanic: Activate abilities. Unlike "On Reveal," Activate abilities let you choose precisely when to unleash their effects, adding a strategic layer to gameplay.
The Season Pass card, Symbiote Spider-Man (4-Cost, 6-Power), showcases this new mechanic perfectly. His Activate ability lets you absorb the lowest-cost card at a location and copy its text, even re-triggering On Reveal effects. Prepare for some seriously fun (and potentially overpowered) combinations! Check out the official season reveal video below:
Beyond Symbiote Spider-Man, several other exciting cards join the fray:
-
Silver Sable: (1-Cost, 1-Power) On Reveal: Steals 2 Power from the top card of your opponent's deck. A sneaky addition to many decks.
-
Madame Web: (Ongoing) Allows you to move one card at her location to another location once per turn. A powerful tool for manipulating the board.
-
Arana: (1-Cost, 1-Power) Activate: Moves your next played card to the right and gives it +2 Power. A potential game-changer for move-focused strategies.
-
Scarlet Spider (Ben Reilly): (4-Cost, 5-Power) Activate: Spawns an identical clone at another location. Double the trouble (and power)!
This season also introduces two new locations:
-
Brooklyn Bridge: A classic Spider-Man location with a twist – you can't play cards there two turns in a row. Strategic placement is key!
-
Otto's Lab: The next card played here pulls a card from your opponent's hand into play. Expect some unexpected surprises!
This Spider-themed season offers exciting new cards and strategic depth with the introduction of Activate abilities. Get ready for some web-slinging action!
