Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson takes center stage as the new Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side of the field at the game's start. The shield grants +2 Power to any Captain America card at its location, and Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield each turn. Will this benefit future captains like Captain Carter? Stay tuned to find out!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

The new Falcon, Joaquín Torres, is more than just a sidekick—he's grown real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card has an Ongoing effect that doubles the On-Reveal abilities of 1-Cost cards played at his location. Think of him as a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards. Pair him with Moonstone for powerful combinations!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Entering as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross boasts the game's most impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with ten or more Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Is he too specialized to be Surtur's new ally? Only time will tell.
Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, has a unique ability to play a card from your hand at the location he leaves the first time he moves. Though he doesn't move on his own, combining him with high-impact cards and movers could lead to exciting strategies. Which deck will he dominate?
Diamondback

Diamondback, the second snake-themed character in Snap, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that further reduces the Power of opposing cards by -2 at her location if they already have negative Power. For optimal synergy, pair her with a certain blue guy!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Get ready for an enchanted battle! Sanctum Showdown will debut on February 18, offering a fresh twist on the game. Unlike standard Snap, this mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first player to score 16 points. One location becomes the Sanctum each turn, worth more points than the others. Expect intense gameplay and the chance to win amazing rewards, including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!
Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey
Laufey is a 4-Cost, 6-Power card that uses his On-Reveal ability to steal 1 Power from any card in his vicinity, including yours. His arrival might trigger a Diamondback resurgence; will he shake up the meta?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that lets you relive Spider-Man's origin story. When destroyed, he's replaced by Spider-Man. Though it seems like a meme card, it's worth giving a try!
Gorgon
Gorgon, Arishem's most formidable foe, is a 2-Cost, 3-Power card with an Ongoing effect that increases the cost of any cards in your opponent's hand not initially in their deck by one. He's a powerful counter, disrupting strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos.
Mastery System

The Mastery system will finally launch on February 11th! Each card will have its own Mastery Track with exclusive rewards like character reaction sets, special flares, and a gold diamond flare at the end. This long-awaited feature adds an extra layer of customization and progression to the game.
New Locations

Smithsonian Museum: A perfect match for Sam Wilson Captain America and his shield.
Madripoor: A scaling location that rewards early dominance, but be cautious of overextending into Shang-Chi's range.
Conclusion
This season is brimming with excitement! From Sam Wilson's debut as Captain America to the chaotic fun of Sanctum Showdown and the introduction of the Mastery system, there's something for everyone. Redwing has me particularly thrilled—I can't wait to figure out how to use him effectively. Which card are you most excited to try? Any variants you're hoping to add to your collection?
