Season Cards
Sam Wilson Captain America

With a heart full of justice, Sam Wilson steps into the spotlight 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 start of the game. The shield grants +2 Power to any Captain America card at its location, and thanks to Sam's Ongoing ability, you can 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 no mere impostor—he's grown real wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card's Ongoing effect doubles the On-Reveal powers 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 each time your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Is he too niche to be Surtur's new best friend? 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. Although he doesn't move on his own, combining 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 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

Prepare for a magical battle! Sanctum Showdown, launching on February 18, offers a fresh twist on the game. Unlike regular Snap, this mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit. Instead, the goal is to win locations and be the first player to reach 16 points. One location transforms into the Sanctum each turn, offering 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 at his location, 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 lets you relive Spider-Man's origin story. When he's destroyed, Spider-Man takes his place. Though it seems like a meme card, it's definitely worth 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 originally in their deck by one. This disrupts strategies like Shield Agents, Moongirl, and Thanos, making him a powerful counter.
Mastery System

The Mastery system will finally launch 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 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. What about you? Which card are you most excited to try?
