Season Cards

Sam Wilson Captain America

Sam Wilson, the new Captain America, brings his unwavering sense of justice to the game. This 2-Cost, 3-Power card deploys Captain America's Shield, granting +2 Power to any Captain America card at that location. Sam's Ongoing ability allows you to move the shield each turn. Will this benefit other Captain America cards in the future?

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, making him a mini-Wong for low-cost cards. Expect powerful synergies, especially with Moonstone.

Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross

Sporting an impressive mustache, Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross (2-Cost, 2-Power) draws a card with 10+ Power whenever your opponent doesn't spend all their energy. Could he be Surtur's new partner?

Redwing

Redwing (3-Cost, 3-Power) plays a card from your hand at his location the first time he moves. While he doesn't move himself, combining him with movement cards promises exciting strategies.

Diamondback

Diamondback, Snap's second snake-themed character, is a 3-Cost, 3-Power card that reduces the Power of opposing cards at her location by -2 if they already have negative Power. Pair her with the right blue card for maximum impact.

New Game Mode: Sanctum Showdown
