Sam Wilson Captain America

Sam Wilson embodies Captain America, wielding the iconic shield. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card places the shield on your side, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows shield movement each turn, hinting at potential synergy with future Captain America cards.

Joaquín Torres (Falcon)

Joaquín Torres, the new Falcon, boasts true wings! This 3-Cost, 3-Power card doubles the On-Reveal power of 1-Cost cards played at his location – a mini-Wong for 1-Cost cards, creating potent combinations, especially with Moonstone.

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

This 2-Cost, 2-Power card, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross, features a striking mustache. His ability draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. His niche potential remains to be seen.

Redwing

Redwing, a 3-Cost, 3-Power card, plays a card from your hand from his departing location upon his first movement. Strategic pairings with high-impact cards and movement effects promise exciting deck-building possibilities.

Diamondback

Snap's second snake-themed character, Diamondback (3-Cost, 3-Power), reduces opposing cards' Power by -2 at her location if they already have negative Power. Synergizes well with specific blue cards.

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown

Launching February 18th, Sanctum Showdown offers a unique twist. Forget cubes and turn limits; the goal is to be the first to 16 points by controlling locations. Each turn, one location becomes the Sanctum, offering increased point value. Expect intense gameplay and rewards, including up to four unowned Series 4 and 5 cards!

Exclusive Event Cards

• Laufey: (4-Cost, 6-Power) Steals 1 Power from a nearby card on On-Reveal.
• Uncle Ben: (1-Cost, 2-Power) Spawns Spider-Man upon destruction.
• Gorgon: (2-Cost, 3-Power) Increases the cost of non-deck cards in your opponent's hand by one. A potent counter to strategies relying on cards like Shield Agents.

Mastery System

New Locations
