Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

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

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, is no mere pretender—he's grown real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect 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 explosive combos!
Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross enters the fray as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card, sporting the game's most impressive mustache. His ability draws a card with ten or more Power whenever your opponent fails to spend all their energy. Is he too niche to be Surtur's new ally? Only time will tell.
Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, has a unique ability: the first time he moves, he plays a card from your hand at the location he leaves. Although he doesn't move on his own, pairing him with high-impact cards and movers could lead to thrilling 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 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

Prepare for an enchanted battle! Sanctum Showdown, launching on February 18, introduces a fresh twist to the game. Unlike traditional Snap, this mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first to reach 16 points. Each turn, one location transforms into the Sanctum, making it worth more points than others. Expect intense gameplay and the chance to win incredible 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 spark a Diamondback resurgence; will he shake up the meta?
Uncle Ben
Uncle Ben is a 1-Cost, 2-Power card that allows you to relive Spider-Man's origin story. When destroyed, he is replaced by Spider-Man. Though it may seem like a meme card, it's definitely worth trying out!
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 that weren't initially in their deck by one. This disrupts strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos, making him a powerful counter.
Mastery System

The Mastery system launches on February 11th! Each card will have its own Mastery Track, offering 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 packed with excitement! From Sam Wilson’s debut as Captain America to the thrilling chaos of Sanctum Showdown and the introduction of the Mastery system, there's something for everyone.
