Balance Updates – June 26, 2025

This week we’ll be making large adjustments to Thanos, Galacta, and Lockjaw with a smattering of other smaller changes.

Overall, the SNAP metagame is quite healthy, but there has been a large presence of strong generic decks that incorporate a variety of tech cards that wax and wane for some time now. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, we want there to be counterplay for strategies when something rises up to be more dominant, but the ability for decks to not invest in synergistic pieces to execute their own cohesive gameplan goes against some of our core philosophy for making SNAP. We want players, for the most part, to be able to regularly execute their gameplan unless their opponent is paying a reasonable cost to try to counter a specific metagame.

Thanos is the largest contributor by far to this, so we’ll be making adjustments for the long term health of the game, even if it creates some bumps in the road for the short term. Let’s go ahead and look at all the changes for Thanos and the Infinity Stones.

Thanos

[Old] 6/12 – Game Start: Draw Thanos and shuffle the six Infinity Stones into your deck.
[New] 6/12 – Game Start: Shuffle the six Infinity Stones into your deck.

Space Stone

[Old] 1/2 – On Reveal: Draw a card. Ongoing: Nothing can stop you from playing or moving Thanos.
[New] 1/3 – On Reveal: Draw Thanos. Ongoing: Nothing can stop you from playing Thanos.

Time Stone

[Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: Give Thanos -1 Cost.
[New] 1/1 – On Reveal: Draw a card. Give Thanos -1 Cost.

Reality Stone

[Old] 1/1 On Reveal: Replace this location with a new one.
[Changes] 1/1 > 1/2

Although we want to encourage Thanos getting into play, having him start in your opening hand is a high floor of strength that we don’t believe will be sustainable in the long term. This gives control decks a guaranteed late-game character that is comparable to other strategies with plenty of real estate in their deck to incorporate those aforementioned tech cards.

So we’re taking some steps to rebalance Thanos around remaining in your deck at the start of the game. It’s still a critical component of Thanos’s core fantasy that you can both find him and assemble all six of his stones, so to that end we’re changing Space Stone to find Thanos specifically, so that you can still properly work towards the amplified Power Stone in many of your games.

We are also reverting our Time Stone change, as it is no longer clearly the strongest stone when cost reducing Thanos isn’t guaranteed to generate value anymore.

Finally, we’re adding some additional Power to the stones to further compensate. This is a large scale set of changes, and we’ll keep an eye on how this lands, but ultimately our goal is that Thanos’s core play pattern is more centered on playing out many or all of his Stones and investing cards into mitigating the potential downside of filling out so much of your location space. We want players to pay a larger cost for filling their deck full of tech cards to widely promote as much synergistic gameplay in SNAP as possible.

Galacta

[Old] 4/5 – Each turn, the first card you play at another location reveals with +3 Power.
[New] 4/6 – Each turn, the first card you play another location reveals with +2 Power.

Galacta has sustained high play and win numbers since her release, and we’ve tried to hold off on changing how impactful her ability is due to +3 Power breakpoint being one of the more unique aspects of the card in SNAP’s ecosystem, but we think it is finally time to adjust her to only grant +2 Power.

Some of the motivation here is that she has been an outlier for some time, but we’ve also found internally that she has been blocking to creating synergistic Power scaling cards, given that she has such a large impact on any card that engages with the game in that manner (like Brood or Sebastian Shaw). We would rather live in a world where we can make a variety of exciting cards without fearing having to balance around Galacta specifically, and we suspect that this change will still keep her relevant, just at play rate that will give more synergistic 4 Energy cards room to shine.

Red Guardian

[Old] 3/3 – On Reveal: Afflict the lowest-Power enemy card here with -2 Power and remove its text.
[Changes] 3/3 > 3/2

Here’s a more direct response to the tech card “issue.” Again, despite a lot of talk and nerfs through the lens of trying to reduce the power and presence of tech cards slightly, we still want to make it clear that we believe and acknowledge that these types of cards are important for allowing a healthy metagame that churns. We just think their impact is a touch too high, and Red Guardian is exemplary of this.

Given that Red Guardian is a functional 3/5 at base that is effective against almost every strategy while often skewing much higher in effective Power production when he targets an opposing scaler, we’re finding that Red Guardian is simply too efficient given its flexibility.

We want the average 3 Energy card played to be more clearly stronger than Red Guardian except when he hits an important card in a matchup.

Next up, some more quick hits number changes.

Misery

[Old] 4/8 – On Reveal: Repeat the On Reveal abilities of your other cards here, then destroy them.
[Changes] 4/8 > 4/9

Absorbing Man

[Old] 4/4 – On Reveal: If the last card you played has an On Reveal, copy its text. (if able)
[Changes] 4/4 > 4/5

With the competition easing up at 4 Energy, we wanted to give a leg up on some synergy cards that are well loved. Misery and Absorbing Man can engage in a variety of fun shenanigans, but have had middling numbers recently and we’d like to prop them up some more given that they ask you to pursue novel interactions and make exciting decks.

Wolfsbane

[Old] 3/1 – On Reveal: +2 Power for each other card you have here.
[Changes] 3/1 > 3/2

Rhino

[Old] 3/6 – On Reveal: Add a Rock to your side of this location.
[Changes] 3/6 > 2/5

Wolfsbane and Rhino are early Series cards that have struggled for a long time. We did rework Rhino recently, but it turned out that we were a little conservative. We’re taking a bigger swing here, largely because we think the pattern he encourages – turning a drawback into a synergy through creative deckbuilding, is really fun and we’d like to give cards like that a chance to shine. While it’s true that we don’t think the Wolfsbane buff here is going to be blowing the doors off at the top of Infinite, we always want to make the early collector level experience a little smoother whenever we can as long as it doesn’t come at the expense of the new player metagame becoming unstable, and this is just another opportunity to keep tweaking that.

The Ancient One

3/5 – On Reveal: Add Tao Mandala to your hand.

Tao Mandala

[Old] 3 – On Reveal: Copy the text of one of your Ongoing cards here onto your other characters here..
[Changes] 3 > 2

This change isn’t purely fueled by win rate, although The Ancient One is underperforming, but similarly to our motivation for changing Captain Carter several OTA’s ago, playing with the Tao Mandala is just a little clunky. Naturally, this will make the card stronger, but we also just hope that this will unlock interactions and increase the ease of play for sequencing your cards and executing on your synergies. Ongoing decks have been considerable players recently, so we were hesitant to make a huge change before receiving more data, but we’ll keep making incremental changes as necessary.

Ironheart

[Old] 3/0 – On Reveal: Give 3 of your other cards +2 Power.
[New] 3/0 – On Reveal: Give 2 of your other cards +3 Power.

Speaking of early Series cards that we think are fun, we’re ever so slightly reworking Ironheart. Savvy readers might gawk at saying that Galacta was blocking us building in more interesting Power synergies granting +3 Power while simultaneously pushing out this change, but the ask here in terms of both sequencing your cards and the potential for randomness means that we are more comfortable trying this swing vs Galacta’s guaranteed value.

Our hope here is that Ironheart can land in a more satisfying place given that you can more easily play her on curve and extract full value, which was previously very difficult to do without playing specific cards, as well as try to set up tricky combinations.

Professor X

[Old] 5/2- Ongoing: Moving is the only way to add or remove a card from here.
[New] 5/2 – Ongoing: Moving is the only way to add or remove a character from here.

This is a pretty small tweak, but the goal here is to give the game a little more flexibility with how to interact with this classic card and we’re going to continue to be on the lookout to tweak our cards to work with Skills as intuitively as possible. For now, maybe Polymorph can provide some surprises in final turn scenarios, but as we introduce more Skill cards to the game, this subtle tweak might open up some more exciting possibilities for using Professor X!

Lockjaw

[Old] 4/5 – After you play a card here, swap it with a card in your deck.
[Changes] 2/2 – Activate: After you play your next card, swap it with a card in your deck.

Arguably our largest swing of the OTA, this is a pretty big change to Lockjaw. Activate has given us the means to take more focused attempts at high synergy interactions that are naturally gated by their one time use. Given Lockjaw’s current presence in the metagame, his textbox seemed like a great opportunity to try something new.

This might be a larger buff than we are expecting, but we also suspect that this will get the creative juices flowing and encourage some cool new decks, so we’re excited to see what players cook up.

That’s all for today, Happy Snapping!

Patch Notes – June 24, 2025

CARD UPDATES

Spider-Ham

[Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: Transform the leftmost card in your opponent’s hand into a Pig, keeping its Power and Cost.

[New] 1/2 – Activate: Replace the text of a random character in your opponent’s hand with “oink!”

Spider-Ham has had a lot of weird interactions that we’ve been looking at resolving for a while. Most notably, the base Cost and Power of the Pig always had the same value, so behaved unintuitively for many players with cards like Shadow King and Mobius M. Mobius. It targeted the leftmost card in hand to avoid being too strong and frustrating to reuse with Beast and the like. That mostly worked well, but meant that build-around cards that start in hand like Thanos got disabled every time, which many found frustrating to play against. Finally, Spider-Ham was intended to partially disable cards, but with the introduction of skills it was suddenly making cards useless much more often.

A few of these factors came to a head with Dormammu’s release, so we prioritized the behind the scenes work to allow us to replace card art during gameplay without fully transforming the card and took the opportunity to iron out some other issues. We also hope the new shape will give Spider-Ham players a bit more ability to influence which plays they aim to stop.

Nonfunctional Changes

We’re rewording these cards to be more consistent with other card text, but their gameplay isn’t changing. Note: analogous rewordings may not show up immediately in non-English languages.

Silk

[Old] 2/5 – After ANY card is played here, this moves to another location.

[New] 2/5 – After ANY card is played here, move this to another location.

New Limited Time Game Mode: High Voltage: Overdrive!

The Reactor is unstable… and that’s exactly how we like it. Welcome to Overdrive, an electric remix of the mode that cranks up the energy and fun! Packed with unpredictable power surges and explosive game-altering effects, no two games of Overdrive will play the same. Get ready to embrace the chaos and build some wild new decks, because it’s time to overload some Arc Reactors.

What is High Voltage: Overdrive?

The original High Voltage mode condensed the traditional rules of SNAP into three action-packed turns. Each turn gives more energy so you could play more cards and line up massive combos in a short game.

For Overdrive we wanted to build on the fun of High Voltage so we made the Arc unstable… and now it’s causing all kinds of havoc. Decks in this mode will have eight randomly charged cards shuffled in, and when a total of five have been played by both players, the Reactor will explode with a GIANT effect such as destroying low power characters, giving charged cards +5 power, or even transforming them into brand new cards.

There are no cubes or points to lose in High Voltage: Overdrive, so you should always feel encouraged to try and win! There’s no downside to trying out new decks or fun new strategies, so you can build a deck, jump in, and play immediately. Win matches or complete missions to earn Volts, which can be used in the new High Voltage: Overdrive shop. Use them to perform a Portal Pull, buy the new Kid Omega card, get credits, or new cosmetics.

How do you play?

High Voltage: Overdrive is played over four turns instead of the regular three of High Voltage. At the start of the game, 8 charged cards are shuffled into your deck, each getting -1 cost and +1 power. In place of the Cube where you would normally Snap, you’ll have an Arc Reactor. Before the first three turns, the Arc Reactor will generate between 2-4 Max Energy to add to your total which can then be used to play out your master plan. Your opponent will always receive the same amount of Max Energy that you do, so there’s no guessing how much they have.

On turns 1 – 3, the Arc Reactor will randomly increase your Max Energy by 2-4 energy. There is a fourth turn, but no extra energy will be added to the Reactor, which means you’ll have at least 18 energy to spend over those turns.

Beneath the Reactor, you will see the Reactor effect. Each turn, that effect will increase in scale as long as the Reactor is active. Playing a charged card adds one charge to the Reactor. Once the Reactor has five charges, it will explode with the listed effect at the end of that turn. You can decide how much you want to synergize with the effect, so you can play your charged cards early or hold them as long as possible to maximize the effect.

A few of the Reactor effects, such as drawing cards, wouldn’t make sense at the end of the 4th turn, so if you happen to get one of those, a brand new Reactor effect will swap in for it.

At the end of turn 4, whoever controls 2 out of the 3 locations will win!

Designing High Voltage: Overdrive

For the last year, the team at Second Dinner has been hard at work on developing new game modes, and with each one, we are building out a toolset to be able to create new experiences more quickly and reliably build off our successes. To that end, we wanted to take some of technology developments and meta-systems and add them into an existing mode to create some additional gameplay.

The obvious choice was adding a new twist to High Voltage, and so we looked at some of the strengths and weaknesses of the mode to try and improve on both. We love the fast pace and big plays in High Voltage, but wanted to try out a version of the mode that prevents the mode from falling into the same few plays each game. Between the random cards added to your deck, and the powerful Reactor effects, each game will require thinking on your feet to maximize your odds of winning.

High Voltage: Overdrive isn’t replacing High Voltage as a game mode – we are looking at running it more in the future, and taking advantage of those learnings to continue to develop experiences to engage you – the player.

How long will High Voltage: Overdrive be here?

High Voltage: Overdrive is playable now, and will be here until 11:59 AM PST on the 24th of June And don’t forget, playing High Voltage: Overdrive and earning Volts is the only way to earn our newest cards: Cobra in Series 4 and Kid Omega in Series 5. If you miss out, you’ll be able to find all of them in the Snap Packs as of the 16th of July.

Extended Shop Hours

One big piece of feedback from the Sanctum Showdown shop was that many people were sad that they forgot to spend all their charms before the event’s end. For High Voltage: Overdrive, and any event with a shop moving forward, we will leave the shop open for a little while after the event to make sure nobody misses out on one of the newest cards or cosmetics. The shop will be open until 11:59 AM PST on the 25th of June.

NEW CHARACTERS!

SERIES 5

Activate: Destroy the next card you play this turn to gain its Power.

SERIES 4

Activate: Destroy an enemy created card here.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is High Voltage: Overdrive coming to Marvel SNAP? It is live now! Keep playing until 11:59 AM PST on June 24th.
How do I play? You’ll find High Voltage: Overdrive in the game modes along with Conquest and Friendly Battles. Winning High Voltage: Overdrive games and completing the mode-specific Missions will earn you Volts you can spend in the High Voltage: Overdrive store.
What if I lose? There’s no penalty for losing High Voltage: Overdrive games, and nothing to lose by staying in the game through the final turn. Hopefully that gives you ample opportunity to experiment with deck ideas and find what works for you!
What should I play? While you’re free to enter High Voltage: Overdrive with your regular decks, the mode’s rules enable you to spend more energy on a single turn unlocking lots of exciting combinations, or just the chance to play two or three of your favorite 6-Cost cards in the same game! Don’t forget that the random cards added to your deck and Reactor effects will create a much wider variety of plays than you are used to. Expect the unexpected!
Are there any cards that are off limits? The banned card list is a little different than regular High Voltage. While we no longer need to worry about some of the more consistently problematic interactions, forcing people to have additional cards in their deck does add a few challenges, so we adjusted the list to prevent issues with deck size, and a few cards that had technical challenges.

ART, VISUAL EFFECTS, & AUDIO

BALANCE UPDATES

The skill card type introduced with Agamotto’s Ancient Arcana uncovered some bugs and inconsistencies in how cards and locations handle their targets leaving play before taking effect. They also added a bunch of points of confusion when cards didn’t indicate that their effects had taken place without a target. So today we’ve added messages to more cards when they can’t take effect, and we’re lining up some functionality to help everyone understand how these things will interact:

Cards that are no longer at locations can no longer be destroyed.
Effects acting on the next card played, like Negasonic Teenage Warhead or at Castle Zemo, will always be “used up” by a card resolving there (even if it leaves the location before they can affect it).

CARD UPDATES

Araña is getting a text-only update to line up her wording with other cards that work the same way.

[OLD] 1/2 – Activate: Give the next card you play +1 Power and move it to the right.

[NEW] 1/2 – Activate: After you play your next card, give it +1 Power and move it to the right.

LOCATION UPDATES

Our Lady of Saints will now merge cards if the last one revealed left the location first (e.g. because it was a skill).

The skill card type introduced with Agamotto’s Ancient Arcana uncovered some bugs and inconsistencies in how cards and locations handle their targets leaving play before taking effect. They also added a bunch of points of confusion when cards didn’t indicate that their effects had taken place without a target. So today we’ve added messages to more cards when they can’t take effect, and we’re lining up some functionality to help everyone understand how these things will interact:

Cards that are no longer at locations can no longer be destroyed.
Effects acting on the next card played, like Negasonic Teenage Warhead or at Castle Zemo, will always be “used up” by a card resolving there (even if it leaves the location before they can affect it).

CARD UPDATES

Araña is getting a text-only update to line up her wording with other cards that work the same way.

[OLD] 1/2 – Activate: Give the next card you play +1 Power and move it to the right.

[NEW] 1/2 – Activate: After you play your next card, give it +1 Power and move it to the right.

LOCATION UPDATES

Our Lady of Saints will now merge cards if the last one revealed left the location first (e.g. because it was a skill).

Unlocking the Future of Your Collection: Snap Packs

We’re excited to introduce Snap Packs — a major upgrade to how you unlock new cards and build your collection. Whether you’re a new player trying to catch up, a returning player who missed a few Seasons, or a dedicated veteran chasing every new release, this system is designed with you in mind.

We’re aiming to launch Snap Packs in the April 29th patch. This date may move depending on testing or other variables but we wanted to let everyone know ahead of time.

Snap Packs: Quick Overview

The Token Shop is getting a massive upgrade — becoming a dedicated Card Shop where you’ll find:

✅ Snap Packs — Each guarantee 1 unowned card (no dupes!) and 2 bonus rewards*
✅ Spotlight Cards & Rotating Pinnable Cards — Just like today
✅ Free Daily Tokens — Login and redeem every day!
✅ Token Packs — Purchase Tokens right from the Card Shop with Gold

*These can be additional cards, variants, cosmetics, or currencies like Tokens, Boosters, and Credits (odds will vary).

Problems with the Current System

Right now, getting the cards you want in Marvel SNAP can feel frustrating — and slow.

Returning players who missed multiple seasons find themselves way behind.
New players struggle to catch up and play popular decks.
Veteran players often have to rely on luck with Spotlight Caches, which can lead to duplicate cards and wasted rewards.

Snap Packs to the Rescue!

Snap Packs are designed to address these problems by giving players:

Greater control over the cards you earn
Catch up faster and cheaper
A smoother collection journey

Let’s dive into each of these areas below:

1. Greater Control Over Cards You Earn

Snap Packs will help you chase the cards you want by offering different packs that each contain separate pools of cards. Below are the five different Snap Packs coming at launch.

New Series 5 Packs
- Includes all Series 5 cards from the current and ONE previous Season.
- The card pool updates each WEEK with each Spotlight Card

New Series 4 Packs
- Includes all Series 4 cards from the current and TWO previous Seasons
- The card pool updates each SEASON

Collector’s Packs for Series 3, 4 and 5
- Separate packs for each of Series 3, 4, and 5.
- Perfect for catching up
- Contains ALL cards not included in the New Series Card Packs above.

2. Catch Up Faster and Cheaper

Not only can you target older or lower Series cards but they’ll be cheaper than buying individual cards.

Gone are the days of just missing out on a Spotlight Card from the previous week and being filled with regret. New Series Packs contain all the cards from the current and previous season allowing you to wait until the moment is right to try and grab the one you’re looking for.

New Series Packs will also be cheaper than just buying a featured Spotlight Card directly. If you have all the cards from the current and previous Seasons, the newest Spotlight Card will always be an automatic pull and at a discount!

Collector’s Packs, available for Series 3, 4, and 5 cards, will be priced at a significant discount compared to waiting for them to pop up in your Token Shop individually. This allows new or returning players to catch up faster and for less.

Token Packs are also being introduced allowing players, if they so choose, to purchase Tokens for Gold directly from the Card Shop. Players can then catch up as fast as they want without having to wait for daily rotations or Spotlight Caches.

3. A Smoother Collection Journey

Bye-Bye Spotlight Cache — Hello Tokens!

The Spotlight Cache system is being retired with this update, and all your existing Spotlight Keys will automatically be converted into Tokens at a rate of 3000 Tokens per Key. That means you can dive right into the new system with a solid Token stash ready to spend.

Where you used to receive Spotlight Keys on your Collection Level track, you will now earn 3000 Tokens instead, keeping your card acquisition flow steady.

Previously, Spotlight Keys and Tokens were only able to be used on predetermined Cards that were available in the Spotlight Caches or random ones rotating in Spotlights. While those Spotlights will still exist, you can now use your hard-earned Tokens to buy new and old cards from any Series you want at any time.

The changes that Snap Packs are bringing are entirely additive. A new player’s journey of earning cards as you play isn’t going away. You’ll continue to earn Series 3 cards as you progress through the Collection Level track.

But Wait, There’s More!

More Cards, More Fun Every Season

To top it off, Marvel SNAP is planning to release more cards every season. Alongside the improved Snap Packs system, you’ll be able to grab new cards faster and experiment with more decks right away.

Custom Packs Coming Soon

Snap Packs not only provide the ability to target cards based on age or series, they also create endless opportunities for bespoke “Custom Packs” in the future. Think packs like “X-Men”, “Discard”, or “Creator’s Deck of the Week”. We’re just scratching the surface of how Snap Packs can evolve over time!

Ready to SNAP Into the Future?

With Snap Packs, we’re making it easier, faster, and more fun to build your ultimate Marvel SNAP collection. We’ll be sharing more as we get closer to launch so stay tuned for more details — and get ready to open packs, collect cards, and build your new favorite deck.

Marvel SNAP’s future is in your hands. See you in the Card Shop!

March 13th – Balance Updates

In this week’s balance update, we’ll be re-tuning the Hela archetype after its incorporation of Skaar, adjusting Dr. Doom 2099 to be more in line with other four cost options, and fixing an outlier interaction with Sam Wilson.

Additionally, we’ll be buffing some iconic favorites that have fallen out of favor, as well as trying to get Bruce Banner into a more acceptable long term power range.

Let’s start with Hela:

Hela

[Old] 6/9 – On Reveal: For each different Cost among them, resurrect a card you discarded to a random location.
[Change] 6/9 > 6/6

Swordmaster

[Old] 3/7 – On Reveal: Discard an odd-costed card from your hand.
[Change] 3/7 > 3/6

Hellcow

[Old] 4/7 – Activate: Discard a card from your hand.
[Change] 4/7 > 4/6

Black Cat

[Old] 4/10 – End of Turn: Discard this from your hand.
[Change] 4/10 > 2/6

Last OTA, we took some large steps to wrangle the Surtur strategy into a spot that will allow it to exist as a part of a healthy metagame for the long term. Now the Surtur deck is still enjoying success, but at a much more manageable play rate on the ladder.

A consequence of that, and the movement from 6 to 7 cost with Skaar, is that Hela got a large strength injection, by giving it another unique-cost-high-power card.

Before the Skaar change, Hela was a balanced, sometimes slightly under performing strategy, but giving it the means to generate an additional 12 points with its best draw has taken it to strongest-deck levels.

Sometimes the consequences of changes to solve problems cascade into other problems. It was possible to predict that Hela would be an issue with the Skaar changes, but given where it was on the ladder, we would rather let things play out naturally than try to map out all the implications of a large scale change, especially one on the magnitude of shaking up Surtur’s stranglehold on the metagame.

So where does that leave us? For now, we’re comfortable accepting that Skaar and to some extent Thaddeus Ross are buffing the Hela strategy. If anything, it’s good that Skaar has another home after we nerfed it, but Hela’s point generation is just too large relative to the effort asked of you. As a result, we’re downward adjusting it in other ways.

From Hela, Sword Master, and Hellcow we’ve naturally cut 5 total points of power, just from the set up and payoff cards in the deck you want to play. We suspect that this is likely to leave the deck still in a stronger position than pre-Skaar to 7, but does trim some of the incidental power the strategy generates just from naturally playing enablers and its namesake, which should bring the win rate down.

Those are pretty straightforward changes, Black Cat is the trickier one.

Before this OTA, Black Cat didn’t have much of a role anywhere except being a “free” stat stick for Hela. She was just too unreliable to play in most normal decks as an above-rate card.

We’ve tried her at 3/8 in the past, but that didn’t do enough to move the needle on her “normal” playability, so rather than just adjust her again to that stat line with the goal of just simply nerfing Hela, we’re trying a sideways experiment here.

2/6 is pretty impressive and we’re interested to monitor her appeal in other decks as a risk/reward card.

We’ll both be monitoring how she performs as well as how large an impact on Hela this set of changes makes and adjust accordingly in the future.

Doom 2099

4/3 – End of Turn: Add a DoomBot 2099 to a random location if you played (exactly) 1 card.

We’re adjusting Doom 2099’s DoomBots.

DoomBot 2099

[Old] 4/1 – Ongoing: Your other DoomBots and Doom have +1 Power.
[Change] 4/1 > 4/0

The package of Zabu, Psylocke, and Doom 2099 have been incorporated into a variety of winning strategies for some time now. We’ve made some adjustments to Doom99, but none have been substantial enough to decrown him as the de facto strongest four cost card in Marvel Snap.

Much of Doom’s potency being tied to the strength of ramping him out has made him tricky to manage relative to other 4’s. We debated knocking his power again, but he only has one real adjustment left, as moving to 4/1 would arguably make him stronger by allowing Ravonne Renslayer to interact with him.

Ultimately we decided that wasn’t a large enough change, and we’ve settled on removing a power from his Doom Bots. This should be an average adjustment per game of about 3 total power and our hope is that will get him closer to the correct spot.

We still want Doom99 to be a strong card, but hopefully now he won’t be so clearly out competing other 4 cost options, particularly when he asks little of you in deckbuilding.

Sam Wilson Captain America

2/3 – Game Start: Add Cap’s Shield to a random location. Ongoing: You can move Cap’s Shield.

We’re adjusting Sam Wilson’s Shield.

Cap’s Shield

[Old] 1/1 – Ongoing: This can’t be destroyed. Give your Cap +2 Power when this moves to Cap’s location.
[Change] 1/1 > 0/1

Sam has shown up successfully in a variety of strategies and had a generally positive play pattern that folks have enjoyed. As a result, we’re happy to mostly keep him in his current state, which is quite strong.

However, there’s one little problem.

His interaction with Cull Obsidian is really more of a bug than a feature. Cull’s inclusion in decks that don’t even play 1 cost cards is very much against the spirit of Cull’s design and draw-back. Being able to sport an undercosted 10 power card is a huge boon to any deck that is at all interested in playing Sam, further improving his win rate in a way that we aren’t happy with as well as contributing to a homogeneity in Sam decks despite his representation across a variety of archetypes.

We’re changing the cost on Cap’s shield to cut out this interaction, and will see how Sam’s win rate evolves as a result.

Loki

[Old] 2/2 – On Reveal: Replace your deck with your opponent’s starting deck. Give those cards -1 Cost.
[Change] 2/2 > 1/2

As a massive fan favorite, we haven’t been quite satisfied with Loki’s position in Marvel Snap in recent times. This is an attempt at a half step between his current version and his previous iteration where he drew a card, now enabling you another turn of drawing your opponent’s cost reduced cards, but at a weaker overall rate than before. We’re open to further iteration if this isn’t a large enough adjustment.

Thanos

6/10 – Game Start: Draw Thanos and shuffle the six Infinity Stones into your deck.

We’re adjusting Thanos as well as his Space Stone.

[Change] 6/10 > 6/12

Space Stone

[Old] 1/1 – On Reveal: Draw a card. Ongoing: Nothing can stop you from playing or moving Thanos.
[Change] 1/1 > 1/2

In a similar vein to Loki, Thanos has been in a slump for a while. We believe there’s an opportunity to improve him without a full reversion to the metagame menace that he has been in the past.

Thanos has two primary weaknesses, one being that he himself is much less appealing to play than using his Stones, and that his Stones can quickly take up a considerable amount of real estate. We’ve aimed to help both of those issues, by both increasing Thanos’s base power as well as increasing the power of the Space Stone – one of the Infinity Stones that you often feel the worst about leaving on the board if you can’t blow it up yourself.

Wolverine

[Old] 2/2 – When this is discarded or destroyed, regenerate it with +2 Power at a random location.
[Change] 2/2 > 2/3

We’ve been monitoring the traditional destroy deck and found it lacking for some time. As an iconic Marvel Snap strategy, we want to make sure that Destroy can remain a healthy part of the metagame, particularly given how accessible it is.

The latter point is always something we do want to be careful of, as a change like this does have the potential to dramatically skew the new player experience. That said, we think it is worth it to give some help to the strategy, and we’ve chosen Wolverine given how the strength of other two energy characters has steadily increased since the release of the game.

Bruce Banner

[Old] 2/1 – End of Turn: If you have unspent Energy, 25% chance to HULK OUT!
[New] 2/1 – End of Turn: If you have unspent Energy, 33% chance to HULK OUT!

Additional change not reflected in text: Bruce will keep his power modifiers after HULKING OUT.

Players have been disappointed in the state of Bruce Banner since his release, and his play rate reflects that, so we’re taking a dramatic swing here. In addition to going from a 1/4th chance to 1/3rd chance to HULK OUT, we’re also allowing the Hulk to keep any bonuses he might receive in Banner form. These pair of changes will not only give him a substantial increase in expected point generation, but we hope will make him a lot more fun to play with as well.

Temporary Location Removal

Deep Space

Deep Space is bugged with Iron Patriot and will be temporarily removed from the location pool until fixed.

New Season: Prehistoric Avengers

Before Doctor Strange, before Iron Man, before the Avengers or the X-Men–Who protected Earth from cosmic threats? The Prehistoric Avengers, the first band of super heroes! Who doesn’t love a prequel?

SEASON PASS

You may be familiar with the Eye of Agamotto used by Doctor Strange, but now you can see what the REAL Agamotto is all about. As the first Sorcerer Supreme, Agamotto is bringing an all-new set of Arcana to the game!

NEW CARD TYPE – SKILLS

Agamotto’s Ancient Arcana are the first peek at a new type of card called skills. Skills don’t have Power, and are banished (gone forever) after taking effect. That allows them to cost less Energy than analogous character cards, as well as leaving extra card slots at locations to enable plays like triggering Hope Summers additional times.
You can expect to see more skills in the future representing all sorts of concepts that demonstrate an action or ability, opening up the possibilities to bring all the coolest parts of Marvel into SNAP!

NEW KEYWORD – BANISH

This is a new term and zone for cards that are gone for good: unlike destroyed and discarded cards, they won’t be hopping back into the match after they’re gone. For more information on skills and Banish, be sure to check out the new patch notes!

NEW CHARACTER: Agamotto

Game Start: Shuffle 4 Ancient Arcana into your deck.

On Reveal: Give Agamotto +3 Power. Put him into your hand if he’s not in play. (Banish this.)

On Reveal: Afflict an enemy card here with -5 Power and move it right. (Banish this.)

On Reveal: Next turn, you get +4 Energy. (Banish this.)

On Reveal: Transform your other cards here into copies of the highest-Power one. (Banish this.)

SEASON REWARDS

NEW CHARACTERS!

The Celestial Eson has come to Earth to reshape life–or wipe it out entirely. Agamotto will need to assemble a little help from his friends in the next great battle, so let’s bring them in!
