MARVEL SNAP News

PLEASE NOTE: If you haven’t updated your game yet, get the latest in the App Store!

 
Deadpool’s Diner is back on September 18!

• Everyone’s favorite Merc with a Mouth has been cooking up something special this time, and the Diner will be opening back up with a store, a few updated game rules, and for the first time ever: game mode specific locations. 
  
• Look for more updates (and Valley of the Baby Hand) in the near future.

 

Snap Packs Card List Sorting

• Now when you tap on View Cards in Seasonal Spotlight, Collector’s Pack, or Featured Set Snap Packs, you’ll have sorting and filtering capabilities to help you find the card you’re looking for.

 

Borders For Tokens instead of Gold

• Going forward, all borders available for purchase in the Cosmetics Shop and in a card’s Custom Card shop will be priced in Tokens instead of Gold. 
  
• We have also added some existing borders that were previously unavailable for purchase in either shop to their rotations. 
  
• Here is a list of all available borders, as well as their old and new prices:

 
We know that one of the biggest challenges for players returning to Snap is catching up on card acquisition. The following combination of features are meant to try and help returning players kickstart the acquisition of new cards. With this Patch release, we're releasing a new set of features for players returning to Snap after having been away for a while.
[h3]Welcome Back Calendar[/h3]

• We've built a new login calendar that features 28 days of rewards. In addition to Variants, cosmetics, and currencies, players will get new random Cards from varying Series on days 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28. The calendar will be live for 35 days from a player's first session back, so if they miss a couple of days, they still have the opportunity to earn everything on the calendar.

[h3]Bonus Challenge[/h3]

• Bonus Challenge is a, well, bonus set of challenges that live on top of the Weekly Challenge. Completing daily missions (e.g. Play 1-Cost Cards) will advance both the Weekly Challenge and Bonus Challenge reward milestones. Players will have 30 days to complete the Bonus Challenge, and does not reset weekly like the Weekly Challenge. The Bonus Challenge is completed when the player completes 50 missions. Bonus Challenge rewards include Variants, other cosmetics, currencies, and Snap Packs.

[h3]Season Pass Discount[/h3]

• Returning players will see a 25% discount on the purchase of either the Season Pass, the Season Pass Super Premium, and the upgrade from the Season Pass to the Season Pass Super Premium. If you come back to Snap too close to the end of the current season (

[h3]Exclusive Bundles[/h3]

• 3 exclusive bundles for returning players will be available in the Shop. All feature great deals on Snap Packs which are making their debut in bundles.

We hope players returning to Snap find these features helpful and fun, and please let us know your thoughts on how to make a return to Snap even better!

 

 

[h3]Kang[/h3]

• [Old] 5/0 - On Reveal: Look at what your opponent did, then restart the turn. (without this)
  
• [New] 3/4 - Game Start: Replace this with 4 Kangs with text from random cards that Cost 3 or more.

Kang has been something of a sore spot for all of us for a while now. He's Series 5, a really unique card from the "Big Bad" era, and an exciting character in the canon. He also tests the limits of our game engine, creates ongoing bug stress, and wasn't as fun as we would've liked to trade for those issues. Plus, he turned out to be fairly weak overall, without great balance dials.

 

Thus, we decided to take the rare "full rework" approach. We've tried a lot of Kangs over time–we wanted to take our time and find one that was resonant and fun, since we didn't have a metagame pressure requiring us to cook as quickly as possible. Eventually, we settled on this design that leans into a different aspect of Kang's narrative–his multiversal presence having many different manifestations across timelines. We hope you enjoy playing with this card as much as we have!

 

 

• Kang’s VFX were updated to match his new ability.
  
• Captain Marvel’s VFX was updated.

This month, Viv Vision leads a new wave of synthezoids into MARVEL SNAP, shaping a robotic tomorrow where emotions are as real as any circuit board. But be careful… Just because it’s the future doesn’t mean your dog won’t phase shift through a wall to steal your breakfast when you’re deep into the game. We’re watching you Sparky.

 



 
We got a lot of feedback from the community and we understand that putting a card solely behind the Super Premium Pass felt restricting. This season, Sparky will be released on day one in the Seasonal Series 5 Snap Pack. A premium Variant for Sparky will be offered in the Super Premium Pass, so if you choose to buy the Super Premium Pass, you will also unlock the base version of Sparky.



 
[h2]VIV VISION[/h2]

PREMIUM SEASON PASS - SERIES 5At the start of each turn, give all cards in your hand +1 Power if you’re winning here. Otherwise, move this to another location.

 
[h2]SPARKY[/h2]

Deadpool’s Diner is back from Sep 18-25th at server reset. And this time, the menu is stacked with player-friendly upgrades! We’ve taken the pressure off so you can focus on the fun: now, you only ever risk what you raise, with no more auto-doubling on turns 5 and 6. Stakes are truly on the Diner. Your opponent’s Snaps raise only their side, your Snaps raise only yours—so you can still hit sizzling payouts by Snapping up to three times, or keep it cool with one or two. You’ll always see when your opponent raises, giving you the intel to decide whether to push or play it safe. Plus, with fewer tables, losing at the top won’t send you tumbling to the bottom, making for a smoother climb. And win or lose, your matches fuel progress on Plate Missions, which can be completed by SNAPPING! Plate Missions will earn you Nachos which is the currency for the new shop. The Plate Missions will also refresh automatically as you complete them. It’s big steaks without the big flameouts, and a much tastier path to victory. Win matches, complete missions, progress on the Maximum Effort Reward Track, and take all of your Nachos to the shop where you’ll be able to cash in on new rewards like the new Red Fire Borders, Gold Chain Borders, and the new Series 4 Card, Danger!

High Voltage is coming back for another weekend edition. This four day event will be another purely cosmetic event, with no unlockable cards. There will be a new BANNED list though that is sure to mix things up! Check it out from October 2nd-6th at server reset.
