That's right, MARVEL SNAP is participating in the Steam Deckbuilders Fest from May 4-11. To celebrate, we're launching new bundles and featuring content from the MARVEL SNAP Content Creator program the whole week!

Whether you're just getting started or looking to supercharge a specific playstyle, there's a bundle built for you. If this IS your first time here, welcome!

Here's the TLDR: The game is free to play, and cards can be unlocked by progressing your Collection Level. Progression is made when you upgrade the cosmetics of your cards which requires Boosters and Credits. If you like to go fast, these bundles will speed up your progression. If you want to jump straight into a specific archetype, these bundles will help you make that happen.

STEAM SPECIAL: ENTRY PACK

The most accessible offer in the lineup, the Entry Pack is a perfect choice for new players. At full price, this would still be one of the best deals out there. With an extra 40% off, this is going to be hard to beat.

• 310 Doctor Doom Boosters

• 1,500 Gold

ARCHETYPES? WHAT SHOULD I GET?

If you're just getting started, think about the play style that you typically have fun with. Destroy is for the player that believes a little self sacrifice is worth the explosive value. Discard gives you control of the grave yard and lets you reanimate on command. On Reveal is for the big chain combo player that loves to feel unstoppable. Ready to jump in?

• Odin + 310 Boosters

• Arnim Zola + 310 Boosters

Assemble your Avengers and swing out your Spiders because it’s time to fight for supremacy and decide which team will rise to the top. Welcome to TEAM CLASH, MARVEL SNAP’s newest limited time game mode!

What is Team Clash?

Team Clash is the BRAND NEW game mode that lets you command a team of your favorite characters. There are a total of five teams in this mode and each brings their own unique ability that creates all new synergies and play lines. The new team abilities make sure that you’re leveraging each team’s powerful abilities by using members of the same team.  Additionally, each of the six core characters on each team has their own new unique ability, so when you see the Team Clash logo above their name and unique Team Clash Border on a card, there is a brand new ability that exists only in Team Clash. Characters that share the same team affiliation will be marked with the team logo on the top left corner. 

How do you play?

Start your Team Clash journey by selecting one of five main teams. Each team includes a unique ability that will help boost the abilities or power of your characters in that team. Six of the cards in the deck will be locked to the pre-designated characters, but you will have the option to customize the other 6 cards for the deck with your own collection of cards. 

Once the match begins, everything plays out in classic SNAP fashion, but your team’s mechanics and new character skills will provide opportunities for new play lines and synergies.

The player controlling 2 of the 3 locations after 6 rounds wins the game. Winning will reward you with another ticket for entry as well as 10 XP to progress on the new reward track and 10 Emblems to spend in the shop. If you lose, it’s not all bad - you still get 5 XP and 5 Emblems.

How long will Team Clash be here?

Team Clash will start at 11AM PST (daily reset) on December 18th and will end on December 28th at the daily reset.

Team Clash Economy

Battling in Team Clash always leads to Emblems and Event XP! Climb the ranks of the Clash Pass and claim a variety of rewards. Complete Team Clash Missions to aid in your progress. The new Series 4 Card WIld Child is available for all players in the Free Track. Based on previous LTGMs, we expect the average Free Event Pass player to earn enough XP to unlock Wild Child. Bring all the Emblems you’ve earned to the Clash Shop and choose from a selection of prizes, including the new Series 4 Skill Card Fastball Special, new variants, emotes, and holiday themed borders! There are also Series 3 Card packs available for players early on in their card collection journey. Here are all the details: Rewards Per Match

• Win = 10 Emblems + 10 XP + 1 Team Ticket

• Loss = 5 Emblems + 5 XP

• Tie = 5 Emblems + 5 XP

Team Clash Missions

Complete Team focused Missions to earn more Emblems and XP! Players will receive Missions with varying degrees of requirements that grant either 10, 20, or 40 Emblems and XP. Players will start with 6 total Missions. Missions refill every 8 hours or can be refreshed faster with Gold. Make sure to check which Missions you have active in order to select the right team to complete them! Team Tickets Each match of Team Clash requires one Ticket to enter. Every player will start with 6 tickets when Team Clash opens. Every 8 hours, 4 additional tickets will be added to your total up to the soft cap of 9. This means that if you have 9 Tickets, there will be no additional Tickets added every 8 hours. The timer for the 8 hour ticket reset starts on the first time you enter the Team Clash. If for some reason you choose to test the limits of how many Tickets you can buy and hold at one time, you will be hard capped at 99.

• One match: One Team Ticket (ticket is returned if you Win)

• Starting Tickets: 6

• Tickets regeneration: 4 every 8 hours

• Ticket soft cap: 9

• Ticket hard cap: 99

• Cost per ticket: 10 Gold

Team Clash Event Pass Reward Track

Two new Series 4 Cards are available in this run of Team Clash. Wild Child is available in the Event Pass on the Free Track and Fastball Special can be obtained in the Team Clash Event Shop. We expect the average Free Event Pass player to earn enough Emblems to claim both cards. Team Clash features an Event Pass with two reward tracks: Free and Premium. Progress on both tracks occurs simultaneously, serving as an additional way to earn Emblems, which you can spend in the Team Clash Shop.  The Premium Pass can be purchased for 1,200 Gold and includes all rewards for the 51 milestones.  Players that purchase the Premium Pass will be immediately granted 1,960 XP upon purchase which will skip them to Milestone 15 if purchased while at zero XP. Players will also receive 1x Distressed Gold Border and 2 Team Tickets upon purchasing the Premium Pass.

• Killmonger
• Cosmo
• Shadow King
• Alioth
• Red Guardian

• Negasonic Teenage Warhead
• Enchantress

• For Negasonic, keeping this change will reduce the likelihood that she will come down and quickly snowball a location, and simply lower the amount of time that she looms over the game.
• For Enchantress, this movement towards a larger Point value helps to give her far more proactive applications. Simultaneously it will also dramatically lower the number of games where she is played on the last turn of the game alongside other tech cards to flip the table on how the game was being played up until that point.

SHOP TAKEOVERS

FEATURED SETS

Welcome to the Grand Arena! The brand new game mode where we let YOU pick your Champion to go out and conquer your foes. For the first time ever, we've included prebuilt decks, so even if this is your first time playing MARVEL SNAP, you can jump straight in and play.    

What is the Grand Arena?

Grand Arena is an exciting new way to approach deck building and game play. In this mode, you'll be able to select one of the eight powerful champions to go to battle. Each champion has their own unique Skill card, and you start with them both in your hand at the beginning of the game.   You can either use one of the 8 prebuilt decks, or you can build your own decks around these new champions and surprise your opponents with super cool new strategies.    

How do you play?

Before you jump straight into the Grand Arena, you'll get to pick your Champion! Grand Arena is unique in that you can either use the prebuilt deck, or you can build a custom deck in the game mode for that Champion! These 8 new custom deck slots are tied to the individual Champion and won't take any space away from your ranked decks.   Once you start, the game is played over your standard 6 turns, but you'll start at 2 energy instead of 1, and increase up to 7 by the end of the game. The REALLY exciting part is that you start with your Champion and their Skill card in your hand, so it opens up a lot of different play patterns and strategies. When the game starts, you will get to see who your opponent's Champion is, and can click on their banner to reveal both the Champion card and the associated skill card that starts in their hand.   The player controlling 2 of the 3 locations after 6 rounds wins the game. Winning will reward you with another ticket for entry as well as 10 XP to progress on the new reward track and 10 Glory to spend in the shop. If you lose, it's not all bad - you still get 5 XP and 5 Glory.    

Designing Grand Arena

Grand Arena came out of a desire to have a game mode that would let us put the focus squarely on some of the most famous faces of the Marvel Universe, and give our players the ability to really feel like they are playing a deck based around one of these personalities. The card starting in your hand, as well as not being able to be discarded or removed from there was important, but we found that alone wasn't enough to make the decks feel that different from traditional Ranked mode. This is when we landed on creating a new skill card for each character, which could start in your hand and help push decks to really have a unique identity that felt different than the same collection of cards in Ranked mode.   One of the intended strengths of the mode was that we could keep the rules pretty close to regular Snap, which we know is fun, and use our lean on our experience designing new cards to create a new experience that both that we could also heavily update by changing which Champions were available, and what their cards skill did. Setting the mode in Sakaar's Grand Arena let us have an in-universe location that would make sense to include characters from all over the Marvel universe, but it also gave the art team the ability to create a new Gladiatorial inspired art style that they truly knocked out of the park.   When we looked at the timeline for development, it became clear this would be the perfect mode to line up with Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four: First Steps. After that, it was just a matter of deciding on which characters to include in the mode. The core Fantastic Four were obvious, but we also wanted to include some characters that were normally associated with them as villains like Doctor Doom, and we wanted to make sure to make one of the Champions a brand new card that players could earn within the mode, so we included Mole Man. When looking for a final character, we decided to play into the strengths of the mode, and highlight its strength of being flexible and expandable, and went with one of the most popular villainous characters in the game with Carnage.   Prebuilt decks came out of the desire to make sure that everyone had the ability not only to play the mode, but to really experience the fundamental flavor of how each character and their new skill card play together. We wanted to make these decks feel fun and aspirational to new and returning players, but also not limit existing players' ability to brew their own decks for the format. I'm hoping you all enjoy playing this mode as much as we have when developing it.    

How long will the Grand Arena be here?

Grand Arena will start at 12 PM PST (daily reset) on July 24th and will end on August 7th at the daily reset. The two new Cards that we've included in the Grand Arena will of course be available to earn during this time, but If you miss out, you'll be able to find them in Snap Packs starting on August 21st.  

Grand Arena Economy

Battling your Champions in Grand Arena always leads to Glory and Event XP! Climb the ranks of the Arena Pass and claim a variety of rewards. Bring all the Glory you've earned to the Arena Shop and choose from a selection of prizes, including new Cards and Fantastic Cosmetics.

Here are all the details:

Rewards Per Match

• Win = 10 Glory + 10 XP + 1 Arena Ticket

• Loss = 5 Glory + 5 XP

• Tie = 5 Glory + 5 XP 

Arena Tickets

Each match of Grand Arena requires one Ticket to enter. Every player will start with 8 tickets when the Grand Arena opens. Every 8 hours, 3 additional tickets will be added to your total up to the soft cap of 12. This means that if you have 12 Tickets, there will be no additional Tickets added every 8 hours. The timer for the 8 hour ticket reset starts on the first time you enter the Grand Arena. If for some reason you choose to test the limits of how many Tickets you can buy and hold at one time, you will be hard capped at 99.

• One match: One Arena Ticket

• Starting Tickets: 8

• Tickets regeneration: 3 every 8 hours

• Ticket soft cap: 12

• Ticket hard cap: 99

• Cost per ticket: 10 Gold 

Introducing the Grand Arena Event Pass Reward Track!

Grand Arena features an Event Pass with two reward tracks: Free and Premium. Progress on both tracks occurs simultaneously, serving as the main way to earn Glory, which you can spend in the Grand Arena Shop. Purchasing the Premium Pass significantly increases your rewards and accelerates your progression along the track. In addition to Glory, claiming rewards grants Event Pass XP. The only exclusive item available through the Premium Pass is "The Thing Clobberin' Time" Emote. The Premium Pass costs 1,200 Gold and can be purchased at any point during the active event.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Grand Arena coming to Marvel SNAP?

• The Grand Arena opens up on July 24th at 11:00 AM PDT, and will run through August 7th at 11:59 am PDT.

How do I play?

• Once you have selected Grand Arena under game modes, it's just a matter of selecting which of the Champions you want to play, and entering the Arena. You will start with your Champion in your hand, along with a brand new skill card that is unique to them.

What should I play?

• Each Champion comes with a default prebuilt deck you can start off with to get a feel of how they interact with their skill card, even if you don't own all the cards. Once you have a feel, you can choose to keep playing it, or use cards from your own collection to construct a new deck to take advantage of the Champion and try out new and interesting strategies.

Are there any cards that are off limits?

• The first cards that are off limits are playing any of the Champions in a deck other than their own - so no Human Torch First Steps in a H.E.R.B.I.E. deck. You can use other versions of the cards, however, so Mister Fantastic and Mister Fantastic First Steps will play together in the same deck.

• Beyond that, we banned a few cards that either interacted poorly with the game's mode's mechanics or seemed to take a lot of the fun out of the extra energy. To that end, the following cards are also banned:

  • Gorgon

  • Spider Ham

  • Galactus

  • Mr. Negative

  • Black Bolt

  • Nimrod

  • Living Tribunal

  • Mobius M. Mobius

  • Professor X

  • Wiccan

FEATURES

Card Shop Updates

• Featured Sets are a new offering in the Card Shop that feature limited-time combinations of individual Cards, Variants, and/or Featured Snap Packs. Want to crack open a Pack of Variants? Sure! A pack of Destroy cards, you got it! A pack of X-Men cards, sure thing bub! You can even purchase a featured single card or Variant directly for Tokens. Remember that you can always view the full contents of any Snap Pack by clicking on it.

• This adds triggers to a Snap Pack’s “goodie” drop table so that after a certain number of goodie rolls, a bonus base card(s) is guaranteed.
• Bonus Card Protection only exists for base cards granted by goodie rolls, and does not exist for any other reward types in a pack’s goodie drop table.
• Each individual goodie roll counts towards triggering an eventual guaranteed bonus card.

• When players open a Snap Pack, if they earn Boosters from their “goodie rolls”, those Boosters will match the new card. This will help kickstart players’ Character Mastery journey.

• The red pips in the Card Shop should be clearable and working more as expected!

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 10:59 AM PST on the 25th 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 10:59 AM PST on the 26th 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 10:59 AM PST on June 25th.

• 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, VFX, AND AUDIO

BALANCE UPDATES

CARD UPDATES

• Now that players have gotten a chance to get used to looking at card text tooltips and the skill card frame with Agamotto’s Ancient Arcana, we’re removing the “(Banish this.)” text from the skills. This isn’t a functional change; they’ll work the same way they’ve been working. The wording was somewhat misleading since this is a property of the skill card type, not an effect on the card, and so confused players in combination with cards like Iron Lad.
• Cards that overwrite their own text like Prodigy will now display their original versions as reference cards on the zoomed-in view so that players can see how they ended up with their new text.

LOCATION UPDATES

• We’ve updated some backend logic to reduce the number of games with multiple locations that make it hard to play cards (like Sanctum Sanctorum and Death’s Domain).
