Sam Wilson Captain America

Embracing his heroic destiny, Sam Wilson claims the mantle of Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places Captain America's Shield on your side at match start. The shield boosts any Captain America card at its location by +2 Power, and Sam's Ongoing ability lets you reposition it each turn. Could this buff extend to Captain Carter and future shield-bearers? Stay tuned to find out!
Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

The new Falcon, Joaquín Torres, boasts genuine wings and impressive capabilities. This 3-Cost, 3-Power card features an Ongoing ability that doubles the On-Reveal effects of 1-Cost cards at his location. Think of him as a budget-friendly Wong for 1-Cost cards. Combine him with Moonstone for some spectacular combos!
Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross

Making his entrance as a 2-Cost, 2-Power card with an impressive mustache, Thaddeus Ross draws a card from your deck whenever your opponent completes a turn with unspent Energy. Though specialized, could he become Surtur's perfect partner? Only time will tell.
Redwing

This 3-Cost, 3-Power card has a unique effect—when Redwing moves for the first time, he plays a card from your hand at his departing location. While not mobile on his own, pairing him with movement-based decks could unlock game-changing strategies. Which archetype will he strengthen most?
Diamondback

As the second snake-themed character in Snap, Diamondback wields an Ongoing ability that further reduces opposing cards' Power by -2 if they already have negative values at her location. Pair her with a certain blue guy for maximum synergy!
New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Prepare for mystical mayhem! Debuting February 18, Sanctum Showdown introduces a fresh competitive format. Unlike standard matches, this mode eliminates cubes and the six-turn limit—instead, victory comes from being the first player to secure 16 points across locations. Each turn, one site transforms into the Sanctum, worth additional points. Expect intense battles and spectacular rewards, including up to four Series 4 or 5 cards you don’t yet own!
Exclusive Event Cards

Laufey
This 4-Cost, 6-Power menace uses his On-Reveal ability to siphon 1 Power from all nearby cards—including yours. Could his presence revive Diamondback's relevance in the meta?
Uncle Ben
A 1-Cost, 2-Power card that pays homage to Spider-Man’s origins—when destroyed, he transforms into the wall-crawler himself. Though seemingly a joke card, he offers unexpected utility!
Gorgon
Arishem’s deadliest adversary, Gorgon (2-Cost, 3-Power) penalizes opponents by increasing the Energy cost of cards added to their hand from outside their deck. This devastating ability counters strategies like Thanos, Shield Agents, and Moongirl.
Mastery System

Arriving February 11, the Mastery system features unique progression tracks for every card! Earn exclusive rewards like reaction sets, cosmetic flares, and a rare gold diamond flare for the ultimate collectors. This much-requested addition enhances long-term customization and achievement.
New Locations
